The invention is effective to the steering knuckle with phi less than 70mm, the surface of the workpiece forms martensite when the workpiece is cooled in a medium and after liquid is removed, and the fatigue life of the steering knuckle reaches more than 50 ten thousand times.

Description

Spindle quenching medium and quenching method
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of quenching medium and quenching method that is used for the spindle quenching heat treatment.
Background technology
No matter single-stage quenching, many liquid quench or double quenching all needs quenchant, the difference of medium, the material property difference of quenching and obtaining promptly has different physical strengths and fatigue lifetime.The Chinese patent CN1167158 (1997) of the clear application of Liu Xiang has disclosed a kind of high molecular polymer quenching medium that is applicable to height, middle steel carbon filament goods, is made up of vinylformic acid 20~45%, caustic soda 15~40%, ammonium persulphate 0.3~1.5%, water 20~40% (by weight percentage).The method system of isothermal quenching that the Chinese patent CN1398992 (2002) of Shanghai Communications University's application discloses or marquenching is waiting thermophase or classification dwell phase with regulating spraying-air cooling method control workpiece surface temperature according to the hardening capacity selective quenching heat-eliminating medium of workpiece size and steel.But, spindle be a kind of complex-shaped, section thickness is extremely inhomogeneous, the automobile component of porous and pore wall thickness inequality, it is bearing the repeated stress of high loading, the effect of compound stresses such as twist and warping stress, temporary impact stress in automobilism, therefore require these parts that high tensile strength, fatigue strength are arranged, enough toughness is arranged again.Existing quenching medium and quenching method all can not satisfy the requirement of these special component of spindle well.At present work-ing life of steering knuckle is got on the car generally between 30~380,000 times in the domestic market.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to brought up to more than 500,000 times the work-ing life of spindle, a kind of organic polymer water-soluble quenching agent is provided.The cooling penetrance of this quenching medium is strong, and is little to rimose susceptibility, makes spindle obtain high-intensity martensitic stucture when quenching.
The present invention is achieved by the following technical solutions:
With adopting a kind of quenching medium to make heat-eliminating medium, former liquid formula is (by weight percentage) polyvinyl alcohol 0.1~0.5%, polyacrylate 0.01~0.1%, ammonium persulphate 0.01~0.1% in the spindle quenching technology, and all the other are water; The preferred former liquid formula of quenching medium is (by weight percentage) polyvinyl alcohol 0.18~0.3%, polyacrylate 0.04~0.06%, ammonium persulphate 0.04~0.06%, and all the other are water.Above-mentioned raw materials promptly gets the stoste of quenching medium of the present invention after heated polymerizable, cooling.According to steering knuckle size, complex-shaped degree and material hardening capacity, above-mentioned stoste is diluted to the cooling fluid of different weight percentage concentration, be respectively applied for single-phase quenching of steering knuckle or marquenching or double quenching technological process.This quenching medium is applicable to that the spindle of φ<70mm quenches, have the characteristics fast in high-temperature zone cooling, that the cold zone cooling is slow, to R angle and section transitions district when quenching little, the no oil smoke of crackle susceptibility, do not burn, no fire hazard, no corrosive nature, hardened depth, hardness are even, medium difficultly wears out, life-span (usage period) length.When preparing the cooling fluid of specific concentrations, in quenching medium stoste, add water, measure diopter, be converted into percentage concentration accurately then with refractometer.
When spindle quenches, earlier steering knuckle is heated to austenitic state, then according to steering knuckle size, shape and material hardening capacity, select single-phase quenching, marquenching or double quenching, and select the cooling fluid of different weight percentage concentration according to the thickness of the section thickness ununiformity of different model steering knuckle and hole wall respectively for use:
(1) simple to shape, cross section thickness transition is mild, the steering knuckle enforcement single-stage quenching of the about 40mm of axle journal net thickness, quenching medium concentration is controlled at 0.28~0.32% (weight percent of stoste), the single-stage quenching time is about 10 minutes, until workpiece and quenching medium equality of temperature, be lower than 50 ℃ by circulation cooling control quenching medium temperature in the quenching process;
(2) complicated to shape, cross section thickness transition is steep, the steering knuckle enforcement marquenching of the about 55mm of axle journal net thickness, the about 10mm of hole wall intersection wall thickness, quenching medium concentration is controlled at 0.23~0.27% (weight percent of stoste), temperature fluid in the time of 300 ℃ on surface is passed in workpiece inside, cools off in air then;
(3) complex-shaped, the rapid transition of cross section thickness, R angle steering knuckle less, the about 70mm of axle journal net thickness, the about 6mm of hole wall intersection wall thickness are implemented double quenching, quenching medium concentration can be controlled in 0.18~0.22% (weight percent of stoste), temperature fluid in the time of 300 ℃ on surface is passed in workpiece inside, cools off in oil then.
Through YueJin car Group Co., Ltd automotive research institute according to FIAT standard 18N5130 " steering knuckle technical specifications ", the spindle that adopts method of the present invention to heat-treat is tested, be 54.2~79.8 ten thousand fatigue lifetime, is much higher than among the Machinery Ministry standard JB522-84 " spindle technical qualification " 300,000 times life requirements.According to light-duty vehicle chassis, Hangzhou factory feedback opinion, after the spindle that adopts method of the present invention to heat-treat reaches use after testing, compared with similar products, its tired longer service life.
