Embodiment
The maximum of the inventive method is characterised in that, makes the metal structure generation pearlitic transformation this point of martensitic tool steel before quenching.
In existing quenching method, the processed material of instrument steel before quenching can be warming up to following for example 600~800 ℃ of A1 transformation temperature, attempting to eliminate the surface and the inner temperature difference of processed material, and is once remaining on this temperature.Then, be heated to the above suitable temperature of A3 transformation temperature, kept with quenching temperature., adjust speed of cooling cool off, to obtain improving the effectively metal structure of expectation of toughness thereafter.
In this existing method, the metal structure when keeping with quenching temperature is because of there is the coarse-grained situation that becomes in austenitic growth.Be considered to as its reason, because the influence of hot-work that processed material tool steel is implemented before quenching and annealing etc. causes the metal structure of the processed material tool steel before quenching to become mixed grain.
If become coarse grain under quenching temperature, even then adjust speed of cooling in the cooling engineering, not only " bainite+martensite " tissue still becomes mixed grain easily, and is difficult to fine.
On the other hand, in the present invention, must condition to make metal structure that being treated to of pearlitic transformation taken place before quenching quickly.Adopt the heating curve figure of Figure 1A, Figure 1B that a concrete example of the present invention is described with regard to JIS SKD61.
Figure 1A, Figure 1B are the examples of representational heating curve figure of the present invention.Figure 1A is the processing to the last stage of quenching, and the operation (Figure 1A: (1), (2), (3), (4), (5)) of the tool steel intermediate wood before then obtaining quenching is the heating curve figure of (Figure 1A: (6), (7), (8)) of quenching.In addition, Figure 1B is in the operation that makes it to take place pearlitic transformation (Figure 1B: (5)) afterwards, through refrigerating work procedure (Figure 1B: (9)), and the example of the representational heating curve figure when having obtained taking place the tool steel intermediate wood of quenching usefulness of pearlitic transformation.
In any method, all be by temperature range that martensitic tool steel is heated to " A3 transformation temperature~A3 transformation temperature+150 ℃ " and the operation (Figure 1A, Figure 1B (3), (4)) that is kept, and make metal structure generation austenite phase transformation.
Also have, also can carry out the tool steel intermediate wood of resulting quenching usefulness among Figure 1B is heated to more than the A3 transformation temperature once again, and the quenching that is kept.
In the present invention, be heated to the temperature range of A3 transformation temperature~" A3 transformation temperature+150 ℃ ", and the purpose that remains on the operation of this temperature is that it is to handle for the pearlitic transformation by subsequent handling, and fine perlite is formed at austenitic crystal boundary and intracrystalline.
At this moment, when the temperature of austenite phase transformation (Figure 1A, Figure 1B: (4)) was too high, austenite crystal was grown up, and when ensuing perlite, can not form fine perlite at the austenite crystal intragranular, but remaining as austenite under the state of not phase transformation.As a result of be, when being warming up to quenching temperature, remaining austenite crystal becomes to look thick, and the crystal grain diameter after the quenching is thick, and having becomes the possibility of mixing grain, so the temperature of the temperature of austenite phase transformation and pearlitic transformation is very important.
Therefore in the present invention, the temperature (Figure 1A, Figure 1B: (4)) of austenite phase transformation is decided to be the temperature range of A3 transformation temperature~" A3 transformation temperature+150 ℃ ", is heated to synthermal and keeps.Its reason be because, under the temperature that is lower than the A3 transformation temperature, can not get austenite structure, surpassing the temperature field of " A3 transformation temperature+150 ℃ " in addition, then austenite crystal might become to look thick.The preferred temperature of austenite phase transformation is the temperature range of A3 transformation temperature~" A3 transformation temperature+50 ℃ ".
Also have, at this moment, though processed material keeps with the temperature of regulation, the preferred hold-time serves as abundant to arrive after the temperature of stipulating 0.5 hour~2 hours.
In addition, at this moment, when confirming whether processed material arrives the temperature of regulation, can make it directly to contact processed material surface and measure with armoured thermocouple.
Secondly in the present invention, be cooled to the temperature field of " perlite nose temperature ± 100 ℃ ", carry out the processing (Figure 1A, Figure 1B: (5)) of pearlitic transformation at the temperature field of " perlite nose temperature ± 100 ℃ ".
By this processing, perlite is formed at austenite grain boundary and intracrystalline, and apparent crystal grain is by miniaturization.In order to obtain this effect people, the temperature field that is adjusted to " perlite nose temperature ± 100 ℃ " is very important.If in the high temperature territory that exceeds 100 ℃ of perlite nose temperature, if be cooled to the low temperature region that exceeds 100 ℃ of perlite nose temperature, then be difficult to obtain the micronized effect of apparent metal structure, because of the austenite structure former state that phase transformation not is remaining remaining, quenching heating thereafter keeps in the operation, and crystal grain might become to look thick.
Yet, confirm directly that in the operation of reality whether fully being phase-changed into pearlitic structure has any problem, therefore, make the isothermal phase change curve with test film in advance, be effective with decision in the hold-time of the temperature field of " perlite nose temperature ± 100 ℃ ".
Also have, preferred temperature field is the temperature field from perlite nose temperature to " 100 ℃ of perlite nose temperature negative (-) ", by keeping at the low temperature side lower than perlite nose temperature, can expect effect of the present invention more.
Metal structure after actual pearlitic transformation is handled, what for example have in JIS specification SKD61 is characterized as, at austenite grain boundary, intracrystalline, form the different metal structure of form of pearlitic structure, the feature that has in JIS SKD11 is, at austenite grain boundary, intracrystalline, become the metal structure of homogeneous.
The influence of hot-work and annealing etc. before quenching, forms pearlitic operation by using, owing to can access the 2nd effect that the conversion metal structure becomes the 1st effect of the essential factor of mixing grain and is adjusted into fine pearlitic structure based on of the present invention.
Continue quenching pre-treating process of the present invention, processed material is heated to more than the A3 transformation temperature, keep, then cool off quenching, thereby can access martensitic tool steel through quench treatment with this temperature.
Quenching can be used following operation shown in Figure 1A: after the processing (Figure 1A: (5)) of pearlitic transformation, be heated to the above and maintenance (Figure 1A: (6) of A3 transformation temperature, (7)), then cool off (Figure 1A (8)), quench with member to quenching, also can be shown in Fig. 1 (b), handle (Figure 1B: (5)) afterwards at pearlitic transformation, cool off (Figure 1B: (9)), once cooling off and behind the tool steel intermediate wood as quenching usefulness, the tool steel intermediate wood of quenching usefulness is heated to temperature more than the A3 transformation temperature once again, after this temperature maintenance, quench, perhaps also can implement the multistage refrigerative from the temperature more than the described A3 transformation temperature and quench as shown in Figure 2.
If consider productivity, then shown in Figure 1A, after pearlitic transformation is handled, be heated to the above temperature of A3 transformation temperature, remain in this temperature after, cool off and become the tool steel intermediate wood, it is favourable then to quench.
But, no matter select which kind of method, all to become fine pearlitic structure in advance, be warming up to quenching temperature, under this temperature, keep, at this moment because the austenite product nucleus can increase, so austenite crystal also can be fine and becomes the size of homogeneous, by to its cooling, the martensitic stucture that the obtains fine and homogeneous that also becomes.Thus, can improve toughness.
Also have, the speed of cooling of quenching is carried out as common quenching, and carry out chilling with the fast speed of cooling of separating out than troostite (troostite) or grain boundary carbide of speed of cooling and get final product, also can be multistage cools off.
In addition, in the present invention, in the heating process that is warmed up to the temperature of austenite phase transformation (Figure 1A, Figure 1B: (4)) (Figure 1A, Figure 1B: (1), (2), (3)), the heating-up time that is warming up to the A3 transformation temperature from the A1 transformation temperature is particularly preferably in 1 hour.
The A1 transformation temperature is the temperature that a part of austenite structure phase transformation begins, and the A3 transformation temperature is the temperature that all becomes austenite structure.If the heating-up time is slow excessively, then crystal grain becomes to look thick easily, is in 1 hour therefore.Be preferably in 30 minutes.
Also have, processed material is heated from the surface, and inner specific surface heats slowly.If inner and surperficial heat-up rate difference, the deviation of crystal grain then takes place easily on inner and surface, therefore, more preferably make inside and surface all at 1 hour with interior intensification.
Therefore, in the heating process that is warmed up to the temperature of austenite phase transformation (Figure 1A, Figure 1B: (4)) (Figure 1A, Figure 1B (1), (2), (3)), once carrying out temperature in the temperature range of " negative 200 ℃ of A1 transformation temperature~A1 transformation temperature " and keeping (Figure 1A, Figure 1B: (2)) to get final product.By once keeping, can reduce the internal difference in temperature of processed material, have again, during to the temperature (Figure 1A, Figure 1B: (4)) of austenite phase transformation, can reduce the internal difference in temperature of processed material at heat up (Figure 1A, Figure 1B: (3)).
, so-called martensitic tool steel of the present invention is meant the steel that can be by quenching metal structure be adjusted into single-phase or two phase constitutions of " martensite+bainite " of martensite.These steel are if carry out observation by light microscope after quenching, then in visual field area occupation ratio, surpassing 50% is martensitic stucture.For example comprise JIS SKD61, SKD62, SKT4 etc.
