Background technology
Hot-work die steel generally can be divided into die steel for hammer forging, mechanical press forging die steel, hot-extrusion mold steel, injection moulding die steel four classes according to purposes, and mechanical press forging die bears very big impact at work and cuts lotus; In forging process, mold cavity and the temperature forging stock about up to 1000 ℃ contacts, and the die-face temperature rise often reaches 300~400 ℃, and the part can reach 500~600 ℃ sometimes; Therefore, require mould when 500~600 ℃ of high temperature, can possess certain obdurability.
Domestic and international most popular mechanical press forging die steel is 5CrNiMo at present, and its standard analysis scope is: C0.50~0.60wt%, Si≤0.40wt%, Mn 0.50~0.80wt%, P≤0.030wt%, S≤0.030wt%, Cr 0.50~0.80wt%, Mo 0.15~0.30wt%, Ni 1.40~1.80wt%, Cu≤0.30wt%; Foreign grade of steel corresponding to this grade of steel has: U.S. AISI standard brand is L6, Japanese JIS standard brand SKT4, the german standard din trade mark 1.2713.The mentality of designing of this steel is to be to add a small amount of alloying element (≤3.00%) on the basis of 0.5%~0.60% steel to improve the hardening capacity and the temper resistance of steel at carbon containing, through quench and 450~500 ℃ of tempering after hardness be HRC43~45, thereby reach the service requirements of mechanical press forging die.But as main alloy strengthening element, Ni is non-carbide forming element with Ni, and the secondary hardening effect is poor during high tempering, and hardness sharply descended when use temperature was higher than 500 ℃, and poor heat stability causes mould to lose efficacy because of undercapacity.
The manufacturing process of above-mentioned existing 5CrNiMo module is to adopt electric arc furnace smelting, pours into steel ingot for forging the technology of becoming a useful person, and concrete steps are followed successively by steel-making, ingot casting, annealing, forging, thermal treatment, form product at last.Wherein, electric arc furnace smelting pours into 2.0 tons of-6.0 tons of steel ingots after finishing, and anneals earlier, forges after the finishing again and become a useful person.
There is following deficiency in above-mentioned manufacturing process:
1) the annealed processing of steel ingot, the Forge Heating time is long, energy consumption height, manufacturing cost height.
2) compare with the large steel ingot forging, little steel ingot forging yield in unit time is low, reduces fast forging machine production capacity, and manufacturing cost is increased.
3) forge to become a useful person and adopt 2 fire to become a useful person, the first fiery jumping-up, melt down reheat after, second fire pulls out to trimmed size, the cost of goods manifactured height.
Therefore, institute of relevant steel mill both domestic and external selects for use better material and manufacture method to substitute the 5CrNiMo module in research always.As follows to the correlation technique retrieval:

Summary of the invention
The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of economical long service life material for mechanical press forging die and manufacture method thereof, adopt not high cost to promote the thermostability of moulding stock, satisfy the mechanical press forging die service requirements.
For achieving the above object, technical scheme of the present invention is,
A kind of economical long service life material for mechanical press forging die, its composition weight percent is: C0.42~0.46, Si 0.20~0.40, Mn 0.80~1.00, Cr 1.90~2.10, V 0.18~0.22, Mo0.42~0.48, Ni 0.30~0.50, Cu≤0.20, Ti 0.02~0.05, Al 0.018~0.045, P≤0.012, S≤0.013, N≤0.0100, all the other are Fe and inevitable impurity.
Below be the effect and the qualification explanation thereof of principal element of the present invention:
C 0.42-0.46wt%
Carbon is decision die steel hardness and flexible principal element.In order to obtain high toughness and thermal fatigue resistance, quench, behind the high tempering in the matrix carbon content should remain on 0.20~0.25wt%, thermostability and the wear resistance in order to improve die steel needs certain carbide content simultaneously.The 5CrNiMo steel is owing to lack carbide forming element, carbon all molten with matrix among, form medium high carbon martensite, so toughness of material and anti-fatigue performance are relatively poor.The present invention reduces carbon content to 0.42-0.46wt%, make the part carbon combine carbide with chromium, molybdenum, titanium elements, improve thermostability and wear resistance, the part of staying matrix obtains low carbon martensite after quenching, compare medium high carbon martensite and have better toughness.
Si 0.20-0.40wt%
Silicon is not carbide forming element, and the present invention is controlled at the upper limit of 5CrNiMo steel with silicone content, makes the element silicon solid solution in α-Fe, improved the high-temperature oxidation resistance of material, and, the dispersity of three carbide of separating out when silicon can improve tempering transition is favourable to improving thermostability.
Mn 0.80-1.00wt%
Manganese element is not a carbide forming element, and a certain amount of manganese element can increase the matrix strengthening effect of steel and the transformation of deferrable bainite.And manganese can form the MnS of high-melting-point (1600 ℃) with sulphur, has eliminated the deleterious effect of sulphur to a certain extent.But manganese can promote growing up of crystal grain, when the massfraction of manganese surpasses 1%, the welding property of steel is degenerated.So the present invention slightly is increased to 0.80-1.00wt% than the manganese content of 5CrNiMo steel.
Cr 1.90-2.10wt%
The chromium element plays an important role in the design of this patent composition, component content has improved more than three times than the chromium content of original 5CrNiMo steel, the chromium element forms stable multiple carbide type in steel, mainly be that Cr7C3 and Cr23C6 type are strengthened matrix, the chromium element improves the hardening capacity of steel, and separates out stable disperse phase in the tempered process, and this disperse phase Cr7C3 not only can improve the anti-tempered performance of steel, and can make steel produce certain red hardness, improve the thermostability of steel.
Mo 0.42-0.48wt%
Molybdenum element also is one of main chemical elements in the design of this patent composition, the adding of molybdenum element has improved the hardening capacity of austenitic stability of steel and steel, and in the drawing process of steel, form separating out of stable Mo2C alloy carbide, this precipitation process is that a kind of particle strengthening phase of disperse is separated out, comparatively be evenly distributed in the matrix of steel, produce the matrix strengthening effect of important disperse carbide precipitate.The adding of molybdenum element has improved the thermostability of steel, and the raising of the over-all properties of steel is played an important role.
V 0.18-0.22wt%
V element also is one of important chemical element in this patent composition design, and its strengthening effect in steel is similar with molybdenum element, but v element forms in steel is the carbide of VC type, produces the strength property that dispersion-strengthened improves steel mutually.V element has also played the effect of the crystal grain of refinement steel in steel.
Ni 0.30-0.50wt%
Nickel element is not a main chemical elements of the present invention, compares with 5CrNiMo, and nickel content declines to a great extent, and the nickel element that keeps 0.30-0.50wt% is favourable with the toughness of improving steel to the hardening capacity that improves steel.
Ti 0.02-0.05wt%
Titanium elements also is one of important chemical element in the design of this patent composition, titanium can improve the heat resistance of steel, improve the creep-resistant property and the creep rupture strength of steel, simultaneously, titanium is the strong carbide forming element, and the TiC of formation has high stability and hardness, hinders the migration of austenite grain boundary, grain refinement effect is obvious, and is favourable to thermostability.Too much titanium elements can form TiN and be mingled with, and goes out along partial crystallization, reduces toughness of material and fatigue property.Suitable titanium content is 0.02-0.05wt%.
Al 0.018-0.045wt%
The nitrogen agent is decided in deoxidation when aluminium element is used as steel-making, crystal grain thinning, and the timeliness of inhibition soft steel is improved the toughness of steel when low temperature, has particularly reduced the brittle transition temperature of steel; But as too much, the greying tendency of steel will be promoted during deoxidation with the aluminium amount.Suitable aluminium content is 0.018-0.045wt%.
P≤0.020wt%;S≤0.015wt%;Cu≤0.20wt%;N≤0.0100wt%
Sulphur, phosphorus, copper are harmful elements in this patent steel, not only cause the deterioration of the processing characteristics of steel, reduce mechanical property, and increase the fragility of steel, reduce the impelling strength of steel.Nitrogen can form TiN with titanium elements and be mingled with in steel, separate out along crystal boundary, and die life is reduced, and therefore should reduce its content as far as possible under existing production specifications permission situation.
The 5CrNiMo steel with Ni as main alloy strengthening element, the strengthening mechanism of carbon martensite in the utilization, make material possess certain intensity and toughness, but Ni is non-carbide forming element, the secondary hardening effect is poor during high tempering, hardness sharply descended when use temperature was higher than 500 ℃, and poor heat stability causes mould to lose efficacy because of undercapacity.
