Description

Be used to improve the method for the bearing capacity that is in the steel component under the circulating load condition
Technical field
The present invention relates to the method said type of a kind of claim 1, that improve the bearing capacity of the compression-member be in the steel component under the circulating load condition, especially fuel oil injection system and/or high mechanical load member.
Background technology
The stress range of the compression-member of fuel oil injection system and/or high mechanical load member from simple pulsation tensile stress until periodically drawing-press repeated stress.
The circulation bearing capacity of member is especially relevant with the weave construction and the intensity of selected steel.No matter be to influence the structure of steel, thereby satisfy above-mentioned stress requirement through the change chemical constitution or through thermal treatment.But because high alloying element content and unusual complicated heat treatment process partly, these measure meetings cause disadvantageous high material cost and manufacturing cost.
Another method that is used to improve the circulation bearing capacity is for example through strengthening roll-in or autofrettage, residual compressive stress to be introduced the surface.But depend on method, restriction to some extent on the member geometrical shape.
In addition, known, as heat treating method, can carry out nitriding to steel and handle, change the chemical constitution of marginal layer.This method is used in reality, and demanding marginal layer hardness is to improve abrasive wear resistance.Method commonly used is gas nitriding, salt bath nitriding and plasma nitriding.Constitute by nitride articulamentum on the component surface and the nitride diffusion layer in the member fringe region at this layer that forms usually.At this, generate with so-called nitriding steel about the best result of hardness and tear strength, it also contains high-load nitride and forms agent except having medium C content, like Al, V, Cr.The test of in document, writing down shows; Also can improve vibration strength through nitriding, but should outstanding be characterised in that the thickness that is at least 0.04mm, be used to improve the required and articulamentum that have certain erosion resistance of wear resistance and can cause disadvantageous effect the circulation bearing capacity.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is, a kind of method is provided, can mode with low cost improve the circulation bearing capacity of pulsating load member through said method.Advantage of the present invention
Said purpose is to realize through the method with the said characteristic of claim 1 according to the present invention.
Different with the gas nitriding commonly used that is used for improving marginal layer hardness by the thick as far as possible articulamentum that is at least 0.04mm; According to the present invention, thus adopt gas nitriding with the adjacent marginal layer of component surface in introduce intensity gradient and residual compressive stress distribution pointedly.At this, select the processing parameter of gas nitriding, for example nitriding temperature and nitriding time length, nitrogen concentration etc. are the nitride articulamentum of 10 μ m to the maximum to guarantee on component surface coating thickness.
Through the gas nitriding that articulamentum according to the present invention reduces, can change the marginal layer of steel, thereby can significantly improve the circulation bearing capacity of member.As the replacement scheme with low cost of the traditional measures that improves vibration strength, use of the gas nitriding of the material of non-alloying and low alloying together with process optimization.Show that in addition compare with undressed materials behavior, the articulamentum that thickness is 10 μ m to the maximum has significantly improved the tolerance to salt spray, and does not damage the circulation bearing capacity.The corrosive property of the member of gas nitriding is suitable with parkerized member according to the present invention, therefore can in technology chain, cancel last member and apply.
Improving in the gas nitriding of vibration strength by the articulamentum of minimum according to the present invention, adopting following physics of metals basic principle to come to regulate pointedly the characteristic gradient in the fringe region:
I, the residual compressive stress of regulating in the fringe region through introducing nitrogen in the edge region distribute;
Ii, form nitride and improve intensity in the edge region gradually through diffusion nitrogen;
Iii, raising are to atomospheric corrosion or to corrosive tolerance in the aqueous medium (fuel oil, condensation product).
Regulating residual compressive stress (i) from the teeth outwards is owing to introduce nitrogen in the edge region.On the numerical value for be that positive load tension stress superposes on negative unrelieved stress and the numerical value, thereby the working load that makes the part appearance that is caused is less than the materials behavior without nitriding.Because the work tension stress that this part reduces, postpone or even avoided cracking from the teeth outwards or crackle enlarges.
Therefore, for special member geometrical shape, can improve the vibration strength of high loading member pointedly with mode simple and with low cost.Can make for example circulation bear the combustion engine unit of pressure and/or pulling force thus, can resist the pulsating load that in operational process, occurs like cylinder head, injector, pressure accumulator, valve body etc.At this, need not to reduce or remove the articulamentum that is introduced in component inside in the later stage, minimum because it has been decreased to according to the gas nitriding of process optimization of the present invention the time.
Introduce nitrogen in the edge region and (ii) have equivalence with hardness with the local intensity that improves.At this, according to alloy composition, lip-deep hardness value can be up to 1000HV.
According to FKM (machinofacture research board of supervisors) criterion, draw in principle-press-alternation intensity σ W, ZDWith static strength R mHave following relation:
σ W,ZD=0.45R m
For the materials behavior of homogeneous, the raising of bearing capacity roughly is equivalent to the half the of under static stress condition intensity raising amount under the stress alternation condition.In the fringe region that is optimized through the nitriding processing pointedly, improving the circulation bearing capacity can quantize according to the FKM criterion as follows:
σ W,ZD=K v·0.45R m
Wherein
K v=1.15 to 1.25, for level and smooth/member of small breach arranged
K v=1.30 to 2.0, for the breach member.
Therefore, can regulate very high vibration strength characteristic value pointedly through the gas nitriding that articulamentum reduces in the edge region.According to member geometrical shape and base mateiral, can the bearing capacity under the stress alternation condition be improved 25 to 100%.Therefore, according to the absolute value of the load in operational process, can use underlying strength to be lower than the material of the plow-steel that is generally used for the high pressure stress member.Reduce machining cost extraly through reducing matrix hardness.
Compare with other methods that improve vibration strengths, be according to another advantage of gas nitriding of the present invention, in the working temperature that raises but be lower than under the condition of nitriding temperature, be that intensity in the fringe region improves or unrelieved stress all is stable.
Similar with the improvement of passivation layer, corrosive nature improvement (iii) is owing to form the articulamentum of mainly being made up of the nitride of iron.These ε-nitride and γ '-nitride is a stable phase for corrosion process, its with without protection, the surface of exposed metal/bare metal compares, and in water-based and chloride medium, slowed down corrosion reaction significantly.The thickness of articulamentum confirms to suppress the corrosive degree.Regulate the thickness of articulamentum through the technical process in gas nitriding, it guarantees the best between the raising of the improvement of erosion resistance and vibration strength.
Adopt the steel of handling according to the method for the invention especially to belong to following group:
The converted steel of-non-alloying and low alloying
The quenched and tempered steel of-non-alloying and low alloying
-age hardening steel and AFP steel
-nitriding steel

In order to reach that desired vibration strength improves and for the tolerance of atmosphere and aqueous corrosion; Preferably be higher than about 420 ℃; Especially under the temperature between 480 ℃ and 620 ℃, heat-treat, last the nitriding time length of depending on desired target strength.The nitriding time length can be maximum 96 hours, preferably between 2 and 12 hours.
In order to improve the wear resistance of circulating load ability and member best, with thickness be at least about 0.1mm, the nitride diffusion layer that preferably is at least about 0.3mm introduces in the surface of member.
On the other hand, the invention still further relates to and utilize prepared according to the methods of the invention member, this member to have the described characteristic of claim 5.
