The microstructures have been investigated in steel plates with different rolling processes to find the reasons of yield ratio overseted standard in few high strength building steel plates produced in Echeng Iron and Steel Corporation. The effects of rolling path, rolling path depress ratio on microstructure and properties. Some reasons of yield ratio overseted standard have been analyzed. The results show that decreasing rolling paths and increasing depress ratio refined grains but unchanged area ratio and interlamellar spacing of pearlite. Yield strength excessively increased but tensile strength unchanged increased yield ratio. So, excellent properties can be obtained by applying the optimization process.

The phase transformation rule, microstructures and properties of JG590 high strength steel produced in Jinan Iron and Steel Co. ltd. have been investigated in this paper. When the chemical composition of steel are given, the cooling rates after finished rolling affect on the properties of steel greatly. The yield strength and tensile strength increasing, the elongation and reduction of area decreasing as increasing of cooling rates after rolling. The main cause is due to appearance and increasing of Bainite and Martensite other than Ferrite and Pearlite in room temperature. The finished rolling temperature have distinct effects upon the mechanical properties of steel plates. Finished rolling at different temperature with the 0.5°C/s cooling rate, the tensile strength vary in 599-698MPa, the yield strength changed from 412 MPa to 536MPa. The elongation is between 30.4-40.5%. But when finished rolling at different temperature with the 2.0°C/s cooling rate, the tensile strength vary in 747-784MPa, the yield strength changed from 441 MPa to 601MPa. The strength index can both meet the requirements of employ. But the elongation is only 18.7-24.5%. This is related with production of lots of Bainite microstructure more than 2°C/s cooling rate. In the procedure of manufacture of JG590 high steel, the quickly cooling rate should be avoided to keep suitable microstructure and good elongation and toughness.

Four test pieces with different steel plate center-to-center distances and reinforcement ratios are subjected to low-cycle repeat quasistatic loading to optimize properties as failure mode, hysteretic curve, skeleton curve, energy dissipation parameters, strength parameters, and seismic performance of high-strength concrete low-rise shear walls. The embedded steel plates are shown to effectively restrict wall crack propagation, enhance the overall steel ratio, and improve the failure mode of the wall while reducing the degree of brittle failure. Under the same conditions, increasing the spacing between the steel plates in the steel plate concrete shear wall can effectively preserve the horizontal bearing capacity of the shear wall under an ultimate load. The embedded steel plates perform better than concealed bracing in delaying stiffness degeneration in the low-rise shear walls, thus safeguarding their long-term bearing capacity. The results presented here may provide a workable basis for shear wall design optimization.

To develop 590/780MPa grade low yield ratio structural steel, the effects of ultra fast cooling (UFC) new process on microstructure and mechanical properties were investigated. The results showed that the low yield ratio and high strength can be obtained by proper phase compositions including relative soft phase and hard phase. For the process of UFC + air cooling, when UFC final cooling temperature was 521°C, 22.5% M-A second hard phases were distributed on bainite ferrite matrix in steel No.A2. The mechanical properties can meet requirement of 590MPa grade low yield ratio structural steel. For the process of air cooling + UFC, when UFC initial cooling temperature was 781°C, the multiphase composed of 28.3% ferrite and other bainite / martensite lath structure can ensure the high strength and low yield ratio of steel No.B1. And performance indexes can meet the requirement of 780MPa grade low yield ratio structural steel.

The precipitation behaviors of hot rolling and cold rolled annealing steel plates strengthened complexly by titanium and molybdenum were studied in the paper. The microstructures and precipitate phases were analyzed using optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM) with energy disperse spectroscopy (EDS). The results showed that the coarsening square TiN phase and the fine roundness (Ti,Mo)C phase were precipitated mostly in the hot rolled steel plate. As the finishing temperature decreased and coiling holding time increased, the quantity of fine precipitates increased. And also the fine round precipitates increased, dispersion expanded and shape of the phase being uniformed as the annealing temperature increased. Therefore, the strengthen effects can be improved effectively by a reasonable control toward titanium and molybdenum precipitation behaviors.

Key parameters for thermomechanical control process (TMCP) and integrated welding operations have been determined to industrialize extra high strength micro-alloyed low carbon SiMnCrMoNiCu steel plates for bridge applications. Confocal Scanning Microscope was used to make In-situ observation on austenite grain growth during reheating. A Gleeble 3800 thermomechanical simulator was employed to investigate transformation behavior of the TMCP conditioned austenite. Integrated industrial rolling trial was conducted to correlate the laboratory observations and commercial production of the plates. Microstructure factors affecting the toughness of the steel were analyzed. Submerged-Arc Welding (SMAW) trails were conducted and the structures and mechanical properties of the weld joints characterized. The representative plate with thickness of 60 mm consisted of acicular ferrite (AF) + refined polygonal ferrite (PF) + granular bainite (GB) across the entire thickness section exhibit yield strength (YS) greater than 560 MPa in transverse direction and excellent Charpy V Notch (CVN) impact toughness greater than 100 J at-40 °C in the parent metal and the weld joints. These provide useful integrated database for producing advanced high strength steel plates via TMCP. Keywords: Thermo-Mechanical Control Process;Weathering Steel Plate for Bridge; Submerged-Arc Welding without Preheating

Offshore structure steel with high strength of YS550MPa has been investigated. As for offshore structure steel, high toughness in welded joints is required in addition to that in base metal. TMCP type steel of up to YS420MPa grade is used widely, and up to YS500MPa grade is reported in some papers. However, steel of higher strength grade with good toughness and weldability will be beneficial to structures in strict conditions. To reach the YS550MPa requirement, hardening effect by Cu precipitation was utilized. Steel plates were designed with micro-alloyed low C-Mn-Cu-Ni-Cr-Mo system. The combination of the copper precipitation and TMCP technology can increase strength without deteriorating toughness and weldability. Heat treatment for Cu precipitation was carried out to optimize the balance of strength and toughness of the base metal. The developed steel also shows good HAZ CTOD toughness up to 76.2mm thickness in several welding conditions including after PWHT. The newly developed steel has the possibility to increase the flexibility to design large-sized structures.

In a hot rolling process, excessive friction between rollers and steel plates may lead to the formation of scratches on the steel plate. To reduce scratch formation in the finishing mill of the hot rolling process, two techniques are proposed in this work: flying touch and velocity synchronization. The proposed flying touch method can reduce the impact of the generated force when the upper roller collides with the steel plate. In addition, the proposed velocity synchronization method can decrease the frictional force resulting from the velocity difference between the rollers and steel plate. The effectiveness of the proposed methods was demonstrated through simulations and experiments using a 1/40 downscaled hot rolling simulator. The simulations and experimental results demonstrate that the proposed methods can reduce the magnitudes of friction and impact forces that lead to scratch formation on the steel plates in the hot rolling process.
