Embodiment
Technology as improving the steel cold forging had proposed several different methods in the past.In the present invention, in order before cold forging, to carry out the softening annealing under the temperature lower than in the past annealing temperature, obtaining the steel wire of soft and ductility height, excellent in cold forging property after the annealing of this softening, need be specific tissue with the organizational controls of steel wire (wire rod).
Below, the low-temperature annealing of one embodiment of the present invention is described with steel wire.At first, the qualification reason to tissue describes.
Surpass (1-1.25 * (C%)) * 50% if just analyse the volume fraction of ferrite (just analysing ferritic structure), then generate the uneven part of intensity because of the back cementite skewness of annealing.If there is the uneven part of intensity, then add man-hour in forging, concentrate because of partial distortion sometimes the cold forging crackle takes place.Therefore, just analyse ferritic volume fraction on be limited to (1-1.25 * (C%)) * 50%.In addition, just analyse ferrite, therefore just analyse the following of ferritic volume fraction and be limited to 0% owing to need in the tissue of steel wire, exist.
Bainite structure is effectively for the nodularization of cementite, has the effect of the ductility that improves steel wire, but the dislocation desity height, and therefore the intensity after the low-temperature annealing improves sometimes.Therefore, the volume fraction of bainite structure on be limited to 40%.In addition, owing to need in the tissue of steel wire, not have bainite, so the following of the volume fraction of bainite is limited to 0%.
Martensitic stucture improves the intensity after the annealing, therefore preferably it is suppressed at below 5%.
The nodularization of the cementite of pearlitic structure after for rough annealing is effectively, has the effect of the distortion impedance that reduces steel wire.In addition, under the big situation of the volume fraction of pearlitic structure, the deviation of the size of the nodularization cementite after the annealing reduces, and the ductility of steel wire improves.Be lower than at the volume fraction of pearlitic structure under 1.40 * (C%) * 100% the situation, the attenuating effect of distortion impedance and the raising effect of ductility reduce, so the following of the volume fraction of pearlitic structure is limited to 1.35 * (C%) * 100%.
Have, the metal structure of steel wire contains just analyses ferrite, bainite and perlite again, the volume fraction of above-mentioned first volume fraction of analysing ferritic structure, bainite structure and the volume fraction of pearlitic structure add up to 95%~100%.
The miniaturization of the average block size of pearlitic structure has the effect of the ferrite crystal grain diameter after reducing to anneal, and is effective for improving ductility.In addition, promote the nodularization of lamellated pearlitic decomposition and cementite by the miniaturization of this average block size, thereby can shorten annealing time.If the average block size of this pearlitic structure then can shorten annealing time below 20 μ m, after annealing, guarantee enough ductility simultaneously.Therefore, the upper limit of the average block size of pearlitic structure is preferably 20 μ m.In addition, the restriction aspect on the mensuration of average block size considers that the lower limit of the average block size of pearlitic structure also can be 4 μ m.
Have again, in order to estimate the volume fraction of just analysing ferritic structure, pearlitic structure, bainite structure, adopt sweep electron microscope, to the C section of wire rod (wire rod with the vertical section of length direction) photography photo, obtain the area occupation ratio of each tissue with 1000 times multiplying powers by image analysis.Here, at the C of wire rod section, to near the top layer (surface) of wire rod, 1/4D portion (from the surface of wire rod on the center position of wire rod at a distance of 1/4 part of the diameter of wire rod) and 1/2D portion (centre portions of wire rod) carry out photo and photograph, the photography zone of position all is 125 μ m * 95 μ m separately.In addition, the area occupation ratio of the tissue that micro-minute surface (C section) is contained equates with the volume fraction of tissue, therefore will be evaluated as the volume fraction of each tissue by each area occupation ratio of organizing that image analysis obtains.
In the mensuration of the piece size of pearlitic structure, adopt the EBSD device.Respectively portion, 1/4D portion, 1/2D portion near the top layer of the C section of wire rod have been measured the zone of 275 μ m * 165 μ m.Is that border more than 15 degree is defined as the piece crystal boundary from the crystal orientation image that adopts the ferrite (ferrite the pearlitic structure) that the EBSD device measures with azimuth difference.

In addition, below the manufacture method of the steel wire of one embodiment of the present invention is described.
With satisfying the steel billet heating of the desired above-mentioned composition of steel wire of above-mentioned embodiment, carry out hot rolling, make the steel wire of desirable diameter.The steel wire that obtains after the hot rolling is batched, keep postcooling to room temperature at constant temperature.There is no particular limitation for coiling temperature after the hot rolling, but be generally 750 ℃ to 1000 ℃ scope.
Also there is no particular limitation for speed of cooling after batching.For example, if the wire rod of line footpath 5~16mm is immersed in 400 ℃~600 ℃ the fused salt groove, then this wire rod is cooled with the speed of cooling more than 10 ℃/second usually.Speed of cooling and composition of steel influence the tissue of steel (steel wire).That is to say that when the content of alloying elements such as C, Si, Mn, Cr, Mo, V, B, Nb was high, if improve speed of cooling, then the volume fraction of bainite structure increased.In addition, when the content of such alloying element hanged down, if speed of cooling reduces, then the volume fraction of ferritic structure increased.Therefore, as long as select composition of steel and speed of cooling just passable in the mode of the tissue that obtains stipulating.
After the hot rolled steel wire is batched, the steel wire constant temperature in 400 ℃~600 ℃ fused salt groove that batches was kept 30 seconds~150 seconds, cool off then.When the temperature of fused salt groove was lower than 400 ℃, the bainite structure in the steel wire divided rate (volume fraction) to increase, and the intensity of the steel wire after the annealing improves, and the phase transformation concluding time prolongs, infringement productivity.If the temperature of fused salt groove surpasses 600 ℃, then ferritic structure divides rate (volume fraction) to increase, and fused salt decomposes, infringement productivity.When the hold-time of steel wire in the fused salt groove is lower than 30 seconds, be cooled under the situation that does not have to finish in the constant temperature phase transformation, therefore generate martensitic stucture.In this case, the desired softening time lengthening of annealing, intensity rises, and makes the processibility deterioration.In addition, the hold-time of steel wire in the fused salt groove more than 150 seconds the time, infringement productivity.So, this hold-time was controlled at 30 seconds~150 seconds.
After steel wire is extracted out from the fused salt groove steel wire is cooled off, carrying out relative reduction in area then is the above Wire Drawing of 25+82 * F1%.Here, F1 value (above-mentioned F1) is represented with following formula (2).
F1=(Cr%)+(Mo%)/4+(V%)/3 (2)
When the relative reduction in area of Wire Drawing was lower than 25+82 * F1%, the softening of the steel wire after the annealing was insufficient, the cold forging deterioration.Therefore, the undergage with the relative reduction in area of Wire Drawing is decided to be 25+82 * F1%.Have, in order to make the steel wire softening more after the low-temperature annealing, the relative reduction in area of Wire Drawing is preferably below 50% again.In addition, owing to use as steel wire, so the relative reduction in area of Wire Drawing is lower than 100%.
Have, by softening, and ductility improves the steel wire of above-mentioned embodiment by carrying out low-temperature annealing again.When stress relief annealed temperature was lower than 650 ℃, the effect of intensity height, softening was low.In stress relief annealed temperature is A
C1When point is above, sneak into pearlitic structure in the tissue of the steel wire after annealing, the intensity of steel wire and ductility deterioration.Therefore, preferably be controlled at stress relief annealed temperature more than 650 ℃ and be lower than A
C1The point.The stress relief annealed hold-time, there is no particular limitation, but stability and productivity in order to improve quality are preferably 30 minutes~7 hours.A is arranged again
C1(℃) can calculate by following formula (3).

Fig. 3 illustrates in the table 4 the carbon equivalent Ceq. of the steel wire of the level 29~46 of record in the level 1~28 of record and the table 3 and the relation of the constriction value RA after the annealing.As can be known: in the embodiment of table 4, compare with Spheroidizing Annealing material in the past, the constriction value RA height of steel wire, ductility is good.
Fig. 4 is the diagram of the relation of the F1 value of the above-mentioned formula of usefulness (2) expression of steel wire of level 1~12,14,16~21,23~28 of expression table 2 and wire drawing relative reduction in area.Have, the steel wire of these levels satisfies above-mentioned tissue (volume fraction of each tissue) and composition again.For the steel wire of " the softening characteristic is good " among Fig. 4, the tensile strength TS after the low-temperature annealing shown in the table 4 compares with Spheroidizing Annealing material in the past, below equal.For the steel wire of " softening bad characteristic ", the tensile strength TS height of the tensile strength TS of the steel wire after low-temperature annealing ratio Spheroidizing Annealing material in the past.Like this, as can be known: under the wire drawing relative reduction in area is situation more than 25+82 * F1%, the softening characteristic good of the steel wire after the low-temperature annealing.
The relation of the C content (C%) of the steel wire of the level 1,2,4,6,7,11~17,19,21,23~28 of table 2 shown in Fig. 5 and the volume fraction (perlite divides rate) of pearlitic structure.As can be known: the volume fraction of the pearlitic structure in steel wire is during less than 1.40 * (C%) * 100 (%) (level 13 and 15), and is as shown in table 4, compares the mechanical properties of the steel wire after the low-temperature annealing with Spheroidizing Annealing material in the past.
Equally, shown in Fig. 6 with Fig. 5 in the identical level of level used steel wire C content and just analyse the relation of the volume fraction (just analysing ferrite branch rate) of ferritic structure.As can be known: during greater than (1-1.25 * (C%)) * 50 (%) (level 13 and 15), as shown in table 4 at the volume fraction of just analysing ferritic structure, compare the mechanical properties of the steel wire after the low-temperature annealing with Spheroidizing Annealing material in the past.
The relation of tensile strength TS before the carbon equivalent Ceq. of the level 1~21 of table 2 shown in Fig. 7 and 23~28 steel wire and the annealing.As can be known: in tensile strength TS ( level 1,2,4,6,7,11,12,14,16,17,19,21,23~28) when 480+850 * Ceq.MPa is above, as shown in table 4, after low-temperature annealing, can obtain and the equal above characteristic of Spheroidizing Annealing material in the past.
