Abstract

Provided is a manufacturing method of a hot-rolled steel sheet which enables manufacturing of a hot-rolled steel sheet having excellent surface properties and a fine structure. The manufacturing method of a hot-rolled steel sheet uses a heating device, descaling device, row of finishing mills, cooling device disposed in the row of finishing mills, and rapid cooling device disposed immediately after the row of finishing mills, and the operations of the heating device, cooling device and rapid cooling device are controlled, thereby controlling a temperature T 1 of the material to be rolled on an entry side of the row of finishing mills, a temperature T 2 of the material to be rolled on an entry side of a final stand in the row of finishing mills, and a temperature T 3 of the material to be rolled on an exit side of the rapid cooling device.

Claims (20)

1. A manufacturing method of a hot-rolled steel sheet wherein in manufacturing a hot-rolled steel sheet using a heating device which heats a material to be rolled, a descaling device disposed on a more downstream side in a transporting direction of the material to be rolled than the heating device, a row of finishing mills disposed on a more downstream side in the transporting direction of the material to be rolled than the descaling device, a cooling device disposed in the row of finishing mills, and a rapid cooling device of which at a least a part is disposed immediately after a shaft center of a roll of the final stand of the row of finishing mills, the operations of the heating device, cooling device and rapid cooling device are controlled, thereby controlling a temperature T 1 of the material to be rolled which is on an entry side of the row of finishing mills, a temperature T 2 of the material to be rolled which is on an entry side of a final stand in the row of finishing mills, and a temperature T 3 of the material to be rolled which is on an exit side of the rapid cooling device, and the rapid cooling device sprays cooling water all over the material to be rolled in a sheet width direction thereof from both faces of the material to be rolled at a water volume density of 10 m 3 /(m 2 ·min) or more for one face of the material to be rolled.

2. The manufacturing method of a hot-rolled steel sheet according to claim 1 , wherein a temperature of the material to be rolled is increased to 1100° C. or more by using the heating device.

3. The manufacturing method of a hot-rolled steel sheet according to claim 1 , wherein an induction heating device and/or a gas burning furnace are included in the heating device.

4. The manufacturing method of a hot-rolled steel sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the material to be rolled which is to be heated by the heating device is roughly rolled by a roughing mill disposed on a more upstream side in the transporting direction of the material to be rolled than the heating device.

5. The manufacturing method of a hot-rolled steel sheet according to claim 1 , wherein a coilbox which coils the material to be rolled is arranged on a more upstream side in the transporting direction of the material to be rolled than the heating device; and the material to be rolled which has been removed from the coilbox is heated by the heating device.

6. The manufacturing method of a hot-rolled steel sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the temperature T 1 , temperature T 2 , and temperature T 3 are controlled based on a detection result of a temperature of the material to be rolled which is detected by a temperature detecting device disposed on a more upstream side in the transporting direction of the material to be rolled than the heating device.

7. A manufacturing apparatus of a hot-rolled steel sheet comprising:

a heating device which heats a material to be rolled;

a descaling device disposed on a more downstream side in a transporting direction of the material to be rolled than the heating device;

a row of finishing mills disposed on a more downstream side in the transporting direction of the material to be rolled than the descaling device;

a cooling device disposed in the row of finishing mills;

a rapid cooling device of which at least a part is disposed immediately after a shaft center of a roll of the final stand of the row of finishing mills; and

a control device capable of controlling the operations of the heating device, cooling device and rapid cooling device,

wherein the operations of the heating device, cooling device and rapid cooling device are controlled by the control device, thereby controlling a temperature T 1 of the material to be rolled which is on an entry side of the row of finishing mills, a temperature T 2 of the material to be rolled which is on an entry side of a final stand in the row of finishing mills, and a temperature T 3 of the material to be rolled which is on an exit side of the rapid cooling device, and the rapid cooling device sprays cooling water all over the material to be rolled in a sheet width direction thereof from both faces of the material to be rolled at a water volume density of 10 m 3 /(m 2 ·min) or more for one face of the material to be rolled.

8. The manufacturing apparatus of a hot-rolled steel sheet according to claim 7 , wherein the heating device is capable of increasing a temperature of the material to be rolled to 1100° C. or more.

9. The manufacturing apparatus of a hot-rolled steel sheet according to claim 7 , wherein an induction heating device and/or a gas burning furnace are included in the heating device.

10. The manufacturing apparatus of a hot-rolled steel sheet according to claim 7 , wherein a roughing mill which roughly rolls the material to be rolled is arranged on a more upstream side in the transporting direction of the material to be rolled than the heating device.

11. The manufacturing apparatus of a hot-rolled steel sheet according to claim 7 , wherein a coilbox which coils the material to be rolled is arranged on a more upstream side in the transporting direction of the material to be rolled than the heating device.

12. The manufacturing apparatus of a hot-rolled steel sheet according to claim 7 , wherein a temperature detecting device is arranged on a more upstream side in the transporting direction of the material to be rolled than the heating device; and

the temperature T 1 , temperature T 2 , and temperature T 3 are controlled based on a detection result of a temperature of the material to be rolled which is detected by the temperature detecting device.
