Summary of the invention
The technical problem to be solved in the present invention is by the composite heat treating process to 40CrH and similar structural alloy steel small size part employing heat treatment normalizing, realizes the normalizing hardness requirement with normalizing Hardness Control to 20~26HRC scope.
The present invention is mainly by the following technical solutions:
A kind of heat treatment normalizing process, described technology comprises:
The first step makes material hardness more than or equal to 26HRC by normalizing, occurs perlite and upper bainite in the material structure; Wherein material is heated to first temperature, described first temperature is at least greater than the critical temperature Ac of material 3More than 50 ℃;
In second step, part perlite and upper bainite by in the tempering decomposition normalized structure transfer in 20~26HRC material hardness, and wherein tempering temperature is second temperature;
In the 3rd step, after coming out of the stove, tempering cools off by water-cooled.
Preferably, carry out forced air cooling in the described the first step normalizing.
Further, described forced air cooling is cooling fast, and material went out to cool off the rear surface temperature and was lower than 200 ℃ in 2 minutes cooling time.
Preferably, described first temperature range is 900~920 ℃.
Preferably, in described second step, the hardness according to the form below of second temperature after according to the first step normalizing chosen:
Hardness after the normalizing (HRC) Tempering range (℃)
26~30 570~590
31~33 590~610
≥34 620~630
Further, be cooled to quick cooling in described the 3rd step, be 1 minute cooling time, and the material leaving water temperature(LWT) is 250 ℃.
The present invention is with the supercooled austenite isothermal transformation kinetic curve of 40CrH steel, temperature-time curve (see figure 1) and critical temperature Ac 3=788 ℃, Ar 1=665 ℃ is theoretical foundation, adopts 900~920 ℃ of heat tracings of comparatively high temps.Heating temperature improves, and alloying element to be dissolved in the austenite, and the austenite composition is even further, has increased the stability of supercooled austenite, and C curve is moved to right, and realizes that with suitable air-cooled speed supercooled austenite changes.When increasing forced air cooling speed, material hardness has reached 26~35HRC, and discreteness is big, and upper bainite occurred in the tissue.Upper bainite has tangible directivity, and hardness is higher.In machining process, because of itself and pearlitic nonhomogeneous hardness, form the difference of processed performance, thus very big in the discreteness of road, back processing geometric accuracy, cause gear rolling processing progressive error defective.Simultaneously, different with the perlite volume density because of upper bainite, transformation temperature is inconsistent during the induction quenching heating, and the swollen difference that rises of volume heat causes mid-frequency induction hardening crackle proneness to increase during phase transformation.
At durometer levels different after the normalizing (being different upper bainite content), formulate corresponding different destressing tempering temperature, decompose uneven phase upper bainite and high-density perlite, hardness is adjusted to 20~26HRC.Part adopted quick water-cooled after tempering was come out of the stove, and had avoided temper brittleness.
Description of drawings
Fig. 1 is the cooling characteristic C curve of 40CrH.
Embodiment
The present invention implements by following steps:
1. adopt the net belt type normalizing furnace at 900~920 ℃ scope internal heating, be incubated 60~80 minutes;
2. adopt three special blower fan forced air coolings on the cooling crawler belt, the air output of single blower fan is 4000~6000m 3/ h;
3. adjust cooling crawler belt walking speed, make material go out water cooling rear surface temperature and be lower than 200 ℃, be controlled at cooling time in 2 minutes;
4. with Rockwell hardness check normalizing hardness, according to the tempering process in the normalizing hardness selection step 5;
5. tempering temperature is selected from following table according to normalizing hardness, soaking time 60~90 minutes;
Hardness after the normalizing (HRC) Tempering range (℃)
26~30 570~590
31~33 590~610
≥34 620~640
6. after tempering was come out of the stove, ℃ water outlet of the quick water-cooled to 250 of material was approximately 1 minute cooling time;
7. check hardness with Rockwell hardometer.
Normalizing involved in the present invention+destressing tempered recombining process is compared with general normalizing process, and normalizing temperature is increased to 910 ℃ from 860 ℃, and has increased the quick water-cooled road preface after tempering and the tempering.In the actual production if by normal normalizing process with 40CrH and the direct normalizing of similar structural alloy steel to hardness 20~26HRC be can't realize (once used continous way push-plate normalizing furnace, guipure normalizing furnace continuously, vacuum air-quenching furnace, little case chamber, laboratory stove were done repeatedly normalizing experiment, can't be with stable being controlled in 20~26HRC scope of normalizing hardness).
As everyone knows, heat treatment normalizing is defined as, with the Ac of METAL HEATING PROCESS to metallic substance 3In air, cool off after+30~50 ℃.Because the specific heat capacity of air and heat-conduction coefficient and iron and steel differ greatly.In actual production, can not require in time period and the temperature section temperature of part is as cold as 650 ℃ fast from 900 ℃ at C curve, and in 650~550 ℃ of temperature, keep the phase transformation fringe time, be the scope of 20~26HRC so can not get part normalizing hardness.Major cause is that 40CrH is the reasonable low alloy steel of a kind of hardening capacity, the surface cooling rate is fast, non-equilibrium microstructures such as upper bainite appear, upper bainite Soxhlet+body perlite mixed structure appears in the centre, the structural inhomogeneous discreteness that causes on the hardness is big, causes the defective and mid-frequency induction hardening crackle tendency of gear rolling.
Heat treatment normalizing process of the present invention has improved normalizing temperature, improved austenitic alloy unitization degree, increased the stability of supercooled austenite, postponed the transformation of supercooled austenite, obtained fine pearlite (sorbite)+ferrite+upper bainite phase blended normalized structure to perlite and upper bainite.Hardness is stabilized in 26~35HRC after the material normalizing.Through the technological test checking, according to the hardness after the normalizing tempering temperature has been made staging treating, hardness is carried out tempering by different tempering temperatures after the different normalizings.Through tempering, decomposed the uneven phase upper bainite in the tissue, the isometry ferrite can be adjusted to hardness in 20~26HRC scope, for the machining and the induction heat treatment in later stage provides favorable tissue and hardness, avoided the crackle that produces because of the unbalance microstructure rapid heating effectively; Improve the comprehensive mechanical performance of material.Water-cooled has then been restrained separating out of second phase fast, has prevented temper brittleness.
It is to be noted, the isothermal normalizing stove of present specialty, isothermal normalizing technology, even parameters such as the cooling rate before the isothermal, isothermal temperature, batch, heat exchange amount, cooling air quantity and medium temperature are accurately controlled, can not mass production 40CrH and similar structural alloy steel part normalizing hardness to 20~26HRC scope in.
Compare with present isothermal normalizing technology, advantage of the present invention is with 40CrH and similar structural alloy steel part, by above-mentioned technology, realizes normalizing Hardness Control to 20~26HRC scope, and can eliminate unbalance microstructure, realize intensity, the combination of toughness mechanical property of material settling out.
