Background technology
Along with science and technology and rapid development of economy, human society has entered a unprecedented new period.Industrial development and technical progress have proposed new requirement to traditional structural materials, the ferrous materials of particularly big, applied range to usage quantity, people's expectation utilizes minimum resource, minimum cost, manufacture out advanced ferrous materials, satisfy the special demands of social progress for material with this with very excellent over-all properties.
In recent years, the innovation in related discipline and field and progress, for the development of ferrous materials provides multiple supporting method and conditions such as equipment, automatization, computer, transmission, promote Iron And Steel Industry technology self that very big progress has been arranged, for example: molten steel is smelted pureization, steel billet production serialization, continuous rolling high speed or the like.Make the production of ferrous materials that suitable improvement arranged, steel product quality significantly improves.
People begin progressively to recognize the refined crystalline strengthening effect of microalloy element in steel from the sixties in 20th century, make the controlled rolling of steel and micro-alloying technology research begin to start to walk.70~eighties of 20th century with the support that is developed as of controlled chilling equipment, is the center with the refined crystalline strengthening, has carried out the research of controlled rolling and controlled cooling technology, and the effect of micro-alloying technology is performed to new level.Be developed as target with the ultralight car nineties in 20th century, utilizes means such as phase transformation strengthening, develops various types of high-strength steel that can satisfy different service requirementss, and the complex phaseization of steel has obtained people's generally attention.
In the later stage nineties 20th century, Japan, Korea S, China propose the Ultrafine Grained Steel evolutionary operation (EVOP) in succession, and significant more status is mentioned in the effect of grain refining.The state-run research institution that Japan official supports has carried out the fundamental research of grain refining, inquires into the limit of grain refining; A lot of enterprises then utilize the thought of grain refining, carry out different grades, satisfy the exploitation of the concrete material of different performance requirement, have developed the fine-grained steel of technical scale different performance and purposes etc.Korea S is representative with POSCO, has carried out exploitation high-strength, corrosion-resistant, welding ferrous materials of new generation, and has explored the approach of industrial application.China will have started national great fundamental research planned project " the great fundamental research of ferrous materials of new generation " the end of the year 1998, under the thought guidance of " strive for that ferrous materials homogenizes, pureization, grain refining ", 400,800, item research such as 1500MPa level super-steel makes substantial progress, and take the lead in having carried out in the world suitability for industrialized production and application, cause international attention, indicate that the research of China ferrous materials stepped into a new stage.
Meanwhile, application corresponding research has also been carried out in Europe.1999, European Coal steel alliance (ECSC) established the Ultrafine Grained Steel feasibility study project in 1 year by a definite date, had started the research project of " utilizing the innovation deformation process to make ultra-fine grain steel " by name subsequently again in calendar year 2001.The purpose of this project is the deformation process of research steel, is making the ferrous materials of new generation that has good mechanics and use properties, has good response in following process on the technical scale.This project comprises four working cells, relates separately to several important ferrous materials such as surperficial ultra-fine crystalline substance, low-carbon superfine crystalline substance, middle carbon ultrafine crystalline substance, high carbon ultrafine crystalline substance.This project makes substantial progress at present.
The material grain refining is significant for the exploitation of new ferrous materials, therefore the thought of grain refining further need be implemented in the research of all kinds of high-strength steel, to promote the development of grain refining technology.Kawasaki, Japan system iron has been developed grain refining " super HSLA steel ", and strength grade is respectively 590, the 780MPa level.This steel utilizes means such as low-temperature heat and interpolation microalloy element Ti, dynamic recrystallization by the low-temperature and high-speed finish rolling stage, refine austenite crystal grain, make ferrite crystal grain refine to about 2 μ m by 6~7 original μ m, the material of exploitation has good curring and shaping die and extension property, suitability for industrialized production concurrently.
The application of microalloy element can be strengthened controlled rolling and controlled cooling The Application of Technology effect greatly.In the exploitation of ferrous materials of new generation,, can promote the raising of material property greatly if can make full use of the favourable influence of microalloying to the controlled rolling and controlled cooling technology.Wherein metal niobium Nb is most important microalloy element, and it can suppress recrystallization process, improves the recrystallization temperature of material, is the important means of carrying out grain refining for a long time.For example in the exploitation of grain refining dual phase steel, adopt 0.103% Nb, can make material be in the non-recrystallization district in the rear portion of hot-rolling finishing mill group frame, the strain accumulation of rolling deformation makes the rolled piece after the finish rolling be in hardening state.The austenite of this hardening state, by stepless control suitable on runoff table cooling, the grain-size of refinement steel that not only can be by a relatively large margin, and simplified operation greatly, reduced the production difficulty of steel.The tissue that the martensite that adopts the new grade of steel of this technological development to have to be distributed by ultra-fine ferrite (2~3 μ m) and disperse is formed, high tensile strength (650~800MPa) and the use properties of unit elongation (20%~25%) and excellence.
For ferrous materials, pursue that it is wear-resistant, the long lifetime also is unusual important index.Grain refining will inevitably increase substantially these characteristics of steel.On present level, how further to realize the further refinement of steel crystal grain, enter into below the μ m level, even reach below 100 nanometers, thereby obtain the more superior performance of ferrous materials.New striving direction of metallargist and unremitting pursue have been become.

In the listed high-strength abrasion-proof thermostable nano alloyed steel of table 1 (hereinafter to be referred as nano alloyed steel) composition, part plays the element of grain refining effect such as tungsten, vanadium, molybdenum etc. and also can not add when once smelting sometimes, and the performance of the steel alloy that obtains is basic identical.Therefore, when certain element was not added into, the following of this kind element value was limited to 0.0 in table.Also have, total add-on of nano alloyed steel interalloy elemental tungsten, manganese, vanadium, niobium, molybdenum, carbon, chromium is no more than nano alloyed steel gross weight 20%; Other elements in the table 1 refer to the micro-inclusion element that may exist in the steel, and as silicon (Si), aluminium (Al), calcium (Ca) etc., all the other compositions are iron (Fe) element.
This invention is produced nano alloyed steel according to smelting process.Employed main equipment is a vacuum induction furnace.Technical process mainly comprises the raw material preparation, goes into three process such as stove smelting, casting.The particular content of per pass operation comprises:
Raw material is prepared.The alloy listed according to table 1 is ready to raw material with every composition, and wherein each element is a raw material with the iron alloy of this kind element substantially, and as ferro-tungsten, ferro-vanadium, ferro-molybdenum etc., ferro element is advisable to adopt the pig iron or straight carbon steel; Because various alloy ingredients almost do not have scaling loss in the fusing smelting process, therefore, according to the target composition of certain alloying element of smelting nano alloyed steel, be converted into this kind alloying element and both can when preparing raw material in the content adding of raw materials used respective element iron alloy.For example, smelt the nano alloyed steel of a certain lot number, ultimate demand double centner tungsten.When the ferro-tungsten of getting tungstenic 50% was made raw material, the requirement of ferro-tungsten was 200 kilograms.
Going into stove smelts.Ready raw material is joined in the vacuum induction furnace, sealed stove, vacuumize, when furnace pressure drops to 760mmHg, charge into argon gas, the beginning heat temperature raising to 500mmHg, when temperature of fusion reaches 1620-1750 ℃, feed stock for blast furnace all melt and uniform ingredients after, smelt tapping.
The ingot casting moulding.Molten steel is poured in the previously prepd steel teeming ladle (ladle), more as required, molten steel is injected in the previously prepd mould cast molding.
The nano alloyed steel that this invention is produced utilizes scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope, X-ray diffractometer equipment to detect through units such as Central South University, Changsha Mining ﹠ Metallurgy Inst, Northeastern University and metal institutes of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, 80% crystallite size is arranged less than 50 nanometers (nm) in the steel alloy, wherein test center of Northeastern University utilizes transmission electron microscope that sample has been carried out the multi-angle monitoring, and the crystal grain median size in the sample is the 20-30 nanometer.So the alloy steel material that the present invention creation is made can be called real nano alloyed steel.
Analyze the reason of this steel grade grain ultrafining, be because this steel grade belongs to the two-phase highly dispersed, its particle is surrounded each other, is separated, form one ultramicron, the ultramicron of a phase can't be crossed among the ultramicron that enters another phase, thereby has avoided aggregation of particles and grain growth, so the ultramicron size is more stable, and, dwindled the space of dissolving in of other atom owing to its volume effect.Simultaneously the excess interface atom that is in noncrystalline state has hindered the diffusion displacement of solid-state heat-processed interalloy atoms of elements and iron atom, so heat up, cooling do not undergo phase transition, quenching does not have martensitic transformation yet, so it has very high thermostability.For example, on producing, tried out on the monodentate roller of sinter machine, although the load temperature of monodentate roller more than 800 ℃, but result of use is quite good.The nano alloyed steel that the contriver provides detects through metallographic behind heat treatment test repeatedly, and this nanocrystalline body steel alloy does not have phase transformation.
Because the volume effect of ultramicron, along with the diameter minimizing of nanoparticle, the energy level gap increases, the electron migration difficulty, and resistivity increases, thus erosion resistance increases.
In a word, it is good that this nano alloyed steel has high strength, high rigidity, high-temperature heat-resistance stability, solidity to corrosion, and high diffusive and size of particles good stability have good toughness simultaneously.These excellent comprehensive performances make in the past, and the performance of steel alloy has obtained extraordinary breakthrough.
After testing, ferrite content is up to 80-90% in this alloy, and double carbide only accounts for 10-20%, and its intensity but is improved greatly, and its hardness HRC reaches 55-65; Compare with the material with same rigidity, the toughness of this alloy also is greatly improved, and rapid heat cycle does not all ftracture, have malleable, good hot workability such as can weld, therefore have application prospect widely, specifically comprise:

(6) can be used to replace the die steel of import at high price.
(7) can be used on wear-resisting, the anti-corrosion and heat-stable parts of petrochemical industry.Such as inwall of fission reaction pipe etc.
(8) mode that adopts composite casting at the wear-resisting position of large-scale metallurgical equipment, can be improved the wear resistance problem of metallurgical equipment with the casting of this nano alloyed steel or built-up welding greatly, obtains satisfied effect, and is expected to solve the durability issues of large-scale roller.
(9) this steel alloy can show remarkable more performance aspect military project, stealth aircraft shell, tank armor and crawler belt, transmitting tube, submarine shell etc., all have and can utilize this nano alloyed steel to make, consequent economic benefit and social benefit can't be estimated;
(10) at aerospace field, this steel alloy can be used for the many aspects of aircraft.
