The quenching technology of H 13 steel for compression molds
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of H13 class Heat Treatment Of Steel technology, particularly relate to the quenching technology of such steel grade.
Background technology
At present, transfer mold uses H13 class steel usually, and its quenching technology adopts the technology of vacuum high pressure gas quenching, and the workpiece of crossing through this art breading has surperficial non-oxidation decarburization, characteristics that workpiece deformation is little, basically can avoid hardening break, in industry so be widely adopted.Yet, this quenching technology also has huge shortcoming, show that low temperature in the quench cooled stage workpiece (about below 550 ℃) speed of cooling is on the low side, this means that workpiece is on the low side in bainite transformation district speed of cooling, quenching process occurs transfer mold easily and does not wish the bainite that occurs, if upper bainite, the work-ing life of mould will be had a strong impact on, because speed of cooling is low, and workpiece will keep certain residual austenite, cause the over-all properties of workpiece to reduce simultaneously.And the workpiece net thickness is thick more, and then its interior tissue is poor more, over-all properties is poor more.
Summary of the invention
For addressing the above problem, the invention provides a kind of quenching technology of H 13 steel for compression molds, it can effectively address the above problem, avoid handling in the part (workpiece) and bainite and residual austenite occur, can greatly improve the work-ing life and the over-all properties of mould, and bigger, the complex-shaped workpiece of very suitable thickness quenches.
The technical solution adopted for the present invention to solve the technical problems is:
A kind of quenching technology of H 13 steel for compression molds may further comprise the steps:
A), the classification heating phase: will handle part and place high-pressure gas quenching furnace to carry out multiple fractionation heating and insulation;
B), N
2Cooling stages: in the high-pressure gas quenching furnace of handling part is housed, charge into N
2, will handling part, to be cooled to heart portion temperature be 590-620 ℃;
C), the oil cooling stage: the processing part of step b) gained is taken out from high-pressure gas quenching furnace, place the oil oven that quenching oil is housed, and be cooled to that to handle part heart portion temperature be 90-110 ℃, take out gained afterwards and handle part, change the tempering stove tempering over to.
If large complicated processing part, ftracture easily when too big with the heart portion temperature difference when the surface.Insulation is in order to reduce thermal stresses before oil cooling in the structural transformation stable region.Heat preservation method is controlled easily in vacuum oven simultaneously, and handling part can oxidation and decarbonization.Therefore,, the step of insulation can also be arranged after the described step b), make surface temperature and the heart portion temperature head of handling part be no more than 50 ℃, and this step be carried out in vacuum oven as further improvement in the technical proposal.
When workpiece immersed oil oven, in order to reduce the temperature difference between workpiece and the quenching oil, the oil oven of design should have heating and homothermic function, and size, complexity, the batch of the warm visual workpiece of oil are selected for use at 90-120 ℃.The quenching oil of selecting for use is adapted at this humidity province and uses.So both guarantee the quenching performance, lowered the cracking risk again.
As further improvement in the technical proposal, the described classification heating phase may further comprise the steps:
A), high-pressure gas quenching furnace being evacuated to the stove internal gas pressure is 0.8-1.0X10
-1Pa, after charge into the N of high-purity pressure at 10-1000Pa
2Protect; High-purity is to guarantee heat-eliminating medium N
2Middle oxygen level is unlikely to oxide treatment part and burner hearth, and general vacuum heat treatment all has the N of requirement more than 99.99%
2
B), with 5-10 ℃/min temperature rise rate heat temperature raising, when fire box temperature reaches 600-650 ℃, be incubated, differ less than 50 ℃ with heart portion temperature up to handling the part surface;
C), continue heat temperature raising, when fire box temperature reaches 800-850 ℃, be incubated, differ less than 50 ℃ with heart portion temperature up to handling the part surface with 5-8 ℃/min temperature rise rate;
D), continue heat temperature raising, when reaching 980-1050 ℃, fire box temperature is incubated, to handling part diathermanous follow-up continuation of insurance temperature 15-30 minute fully with 8-10 ℃/min temperature rise rate.
The invention has the beneficial effects as follows:
The inventive method will handle the part heating and high, middle thermophase cooling is carried out in high-pressure gas quenching furnace, make product have the non-oxidation decarburization of vacuum high pressure gas quenching surface and senior middle school's temperature speed of cooling advantage faster, owing to can monitor actual temperature by thermopair in the high-pressure gas quenching furnace, at any time carry out process corrections, when surface and the heart portion temperature difference are big, can carry out isothermal in the structural transformation stable region, the minimizing temperature difference simultaneously, thereby lower the probability that quenching crack produces, to a certain degree the controlled deformation amount.
And when the material quenching structure changes the equilibrium temperature district, handle the conversion of part quenching medium, be about to handle part and transfer to the cooling of quenching oil oven from the high-pressure gas quenching furnace cooling, then can utilize the fast characteristics of quenching oil oven speed of cooling to make cooling curve avoid the bainite structure limited proportionality fast, enter the martensitic stucture limited proportionality, make processing part microtexture change martensite as far as possible into, the carbide, bainite and the residual austenite that reduce or avoid separating out along crystal boundary, thereby improve the comprehensive mechanical performance of handling part, improve the reliability that mould uses.Be particularly suitable for relatively large and complicated workpiece and quench, under indehiscent situation, guarantee the quenching quality of workpiece.
