Steel and the tufftride parts using this steel as former material for tufftride
Technical field
The present invention relates to tufftride steel and the tufftride parts using this steel as former material, particularly relate to after tufftride material of excellent fatigue characteristics, preferably as tufftride steel and the tufftride parts using this steel as former material of automobile, construction Machines.
Background technology
For the machine structural parts such as the gear of automobile, require good fatigue characteristic, convention is to implement surface hardening processing.As surface hardening processing, know have carburizing treatment, high-frequency quenching process and nitriding treatment.
Carburizing treatment makes C infiltrate, spread in the austenitic area of high temperature, therefore, can obtain darker hardening depth, and for improving, fatigue strength is effective.
But, owing to producing thermal treatment strain, be therefore difficult to be applied to the parts that require strict dimensional precision from viewpoints such as solemn silence.
High-frequency quenching processing is the processing of skin section being quenched by high-frequency induction heating, poor with carburizing treatment same size precision.
Nitriding treatment is at Ac 1in the temperature range below transformation temperature, make that nitrogen infiltrates, thereby diffusion improves the processing of surface hardness, but the treatment time reach 50~100 hours, and after processing need the more crisp compound layer on top layer to remove.
Therefore, developed with the treatment temp of nitriding treatment same degree under carry out the tufftride processing of nitrogenize with the short period of time, be widely used as object with parts etc. taking physical construction in recent years.Make N and C infiltrate simultaneously, spread and make case-hardened processing thereby tufftride processing is the temperature range within the scope of 500~600 DEG C, compared with existing nitriding treatment, can make the treatment time is below half.
But, in carburizing treatment, can make core hardness raise by quench hardening, on the other hand, in tufftride is processed, owing to processing at the temperature below the transformation temperature of steel, therefore core hardness does not raise, and compared with carburizing treatment material, it is poor that tufftride is processed the fatigue strength of material.
Process the fatigue strength of material in order to improve tufftride, conventionally before tufftride by quenching, temper raises core hardness, but the fatigue strength obtaining is difficult to be called fully, and manufacturing cost rising, machinability also reduces.
In order to solve such problem, following technical scheme is proposed: the one-tenth of steel is grouped into the one-tenth that is set as containing Ni, Al, Cr, Ti and is grouped into, in the time of tufftride, for core, utilize Ni-Al, Ni-Ti series intermetallic compound or Cu compound to make its age hardening, for surface, make nitride or the carbide precipitation-hardening in nitride layer (patent documentation 1, patent documentation 2) of Cr, Al, Ti etc.
In patent documentation 3, record following technical scheme: by forge hot, the steel that contains 0.5~2%Cu is forged after extension, carry out air cooling and form solid solution have the ferrite subject organization of Cu, in the tufftrides of 580 DEG C × 120 minutes are processed, Cu is separated out, and then the also precipitation-hardening of coupling Ti, V, Nb carbonitride, thereby after processing, tufftride forms the steel that possesses good Flexural fatigue.In patent documentation 4, disclose and be dispersed with Ti-Mo carbide and be further dispersed with therein one or more the tufftride steel of carbide comprising in Nb, V, W.

3. create conditions
Fig. 1 represents to manufacture the schematic diagram of the manufacturing process of tufftride parts with tufftride of the present invention steel.
In Fig. 1, S1 represents the manufacturing process as the bar steel of former material, and S2 represents to carry operation, and S3 represents goods (tufftride parts) finishing step.
That is, in bar steel manufacturing process (S1), steel ingot is carried out hot rolling and makes bar steel, in the laggard luggage fortune of quality inspection.Then, after shipment, for the bar steel that is transferred (S2), in goods (tufftride parts) finishing steps (S3), above-mentioned bar steel is cut into predetermined size, carry out forge hot or cold forging, make after desired shape by the machining such as bit bore, turning as required, carry out tufftride processing and making articles.
In addition, sometimes directly by the machining such as turning, bit bore, hot-finished material is finish-machined to desired shape, then carries out tufftride processing and making articles.It should be noted that, in the situation of forge hot, after forge hot, can also carry out cold straightening.In addition, sometimes to end article paint, the overlay film processing such as plating.Below to preferably creating conditions and describe.
Rolling Heating temperature
Rolling Heating temperature is preferably set in the scope of 950~1250 DEG C.This be because, tufftride of the present invention is with in steel, in order not damage forging owing to separating out nano-precipitation in rolling stock (as the bar steel of the former material of hot-forged parts), solid solution when residual carbide is in hot rolling making in the time of fusing.
,, while making rolling Heating temperature lower than 950 DEG C, from when fusing, residual carbide is difficult to solid solution.On the other hand, if rolling Heating temperature higher than 1250 DEG C, coarse grains, forge property easy variation.Therefore, rolling Heating temperature is preferably set in the scope of 950 DEG C~1250 DEG C.
Rolling end temp
Rolling end temp is preferably set to more than 800 DEG C.This be because, rolling end temp is during lower than 800 DEG C, can generate ferritic structure, therefore, as subsequent handling, particularly implement tufftride after cold forging or machining in the situation that, be disadvantageous for obtain being greater than 50% bainite structure using area occupation ratio after tufftride as parent phase.In addition also because, if rolling end temp lower than 800 DEG C, rolling load is high, the roundness variation of rolling stock.Therefore, rolling end temp is preferably set to more than 800 DEG C.
Speed of cooling
Thereby preferably specify to make nano-precipitation to separate out before forging to the speed of cooling after rolling and do not damage forging.The speed of cooling that preferably can obtain the critical cooling rate (0.5 DEG C/sec) of nano-precipitation to be greater than in 700~550 DEG C of the Precipitation Temperature scopes of nano-precipitation is carried out cooling.
Tufftride processing (separating out processing)
Using obtained bar steel as former material, after forging, make component shape by machining etc.Then, carry out tufftride processing.For the nano-precipitation that contains V, Nb is separated out, tufftride is preferably set as tufftride treatment temp in the scope of 550~700 DEG C, will be set as in the treatment time more than 10 minutes in processing.This be because, if lower than 550 DEG C, can not obtain the precipitate of q.s, on the other hand, if higher than 700 DEG C, reach austenitic area and be difficult to carry out tufftride.In addition, the scope of 550~630 DEG C more preferably.In addition, the treatment time being set as 10 minutes is because can obtain V, the Nb precipitate of q.s above.
It should be noted that, in the situation that using forge hot, be to be greater than 50% bainite structure and the cold straightening from forge hot and the viewpoint of machinability in area occupation ratio in order to make parent phase after tufftride, preferably the Heating temperature in the time making forge hot be in the scope of 950~1250 DEG C, make to forge end temp be more than 800 DEG C and make to forge after speed of cooling be greater than under the condition of 0.5 DEG C/sec and carry out forge hot, so that nano-precipitation can not be separated out.
Embodiment
Then, by embodiment, the present invention is further described.
The steel (steel No.1~17) of composition shown in 150kg table 1 is carried out to melting in vacuum melting furnace, to be rolled in the condition of 1150 DEG C of heating, 970 DEG C of end, then, be cooled to room temperature with the speed of cooling of 0.9 DEG C/sec, the bar steel of preparation 50mm φ.No.17 is current material JISSCr420.It should be noted that, for all steel in table 1, all initiatively do not add P.Therefore, the P content in table 1 represents the value of sneaking into as inevitable impurity.In addition, with regard to Ti, adding for the steel No.14 in table 1 and steel No.15, is not initiatively to add for steel No.1~13 and steel No.16~17.Therefore,, in table 1, the Ti content of steel No.1~13 and steel No.16~17 all represents the value of sneaking into as inevitable impurity.
These former materials to be further heated to after 1200 DEG C, at 1100 DEG C, to carry out forge hot, make 30mm φ, be cooled to room temperature with the speed of cooling of 0.8 DEG C/sec, and in order comparing, a part to be cooled to room temperature with the speed of cooling of 0.1 DEG C/sec.
For above-mentioned former material, carry out the investigation of structure observation, measurement of hardness and machinability.Structure observation is to utilize opticmicroscope pair cross-section observe and identify core tissue, and exists the former material of Bainite Phases of Some to obtain the area percent of the Bainite Phases of Some of core to core.In addition, machinability is tested and is evaluated by bit cutting.Particularly, forge hot material is cut into 20mm thickness, using the material of gained as test materials, utilize the straight shank drill of the 6mm φ of JIS rapid tool steel SKH51 to open communicating pores with the condition of feeding: 0.15mm/rev, rotating speed: 795rpm at 5 places in every 1 cross section, with till total hole count that drill bit can not cut evaluate.
In addition, measurement of hardness is to use Vickers hardness tester with the test load of 100g, the hardness of core to be investigated.
Steel No.1~16th, further implements gas soft nitriding processing to forge hot material, and steel No.17 implements gas cementation processing to forge hot material.Gas soft nitriding is processed and is passed through at NH 3: N 2: CO 2under the atmosphere of=50:45:5, be heated to 570~620 DEG C and keep carrying out for 3.5 hours.Gas cementation process with at 930 DEG C, carry out at 850 DEG C, keeping after carburizing in 3 hours 40 minutes, then carry out the such condition of oil cooling and implement, and then at 170 DEG C, carry out the tempering of 1 hour.
For these heat treatment materials, carry out observation, the impact characteristics of structure observation, measurement of hardness, precipitate and investigate and fatigue characteristic investigation.
Structure observation is to utilize opticmicroscope pair cross-section observe and core tissue is identified, and exists the heat treatment material of Bainite Phases of Some to obtain the area percent of Bainite Phases of Some to core.
The measurement of hardness of tufftride material and carburized material has carried out the mensuration for core hardness and surface hardness.Surface hardness is measured in the position apart from surperficial 0.02mm, and effective case depth is defined as and reaches measuring apart from the surperficial degree of depth of HV400.In addition, make sample used for transmission electron microscope observation by the electropolishing method that uses two spray methods from the core of tufftride material and carburized material, for obtained sample, the transmission electron microscope that uses acceleration voltage to be set as 200kV carries out the observation of precipitate.And then, obtain the composition of the precipitate of observing by energy dispersion type x-ray spectrometry device (EDX).
The evaluation of impact characteristics is undertaken by Charpy impact test, obtains impact value (J/cm 2).Test film uses notched test film (R:10mm, the degree of depth: 2mm).It should be noted that, this notched test film cuts from forge hot material, and cut test film is implemented after above-mentioned tufftride processing or carburizing treatment, for Charpy impact test.
In addition, fatigue characteristic evaluation is undertaken by little wild formula rotary bending fatigue test, obtains safe range of stress.As test film, use notched test film (breach R:1.0mm, notch diameter: 8mm, stress concentration factor: 1.8).Cut this test film from forge hot material, implement after above-mentioned tufftride processing or carburizing treatment, for test.
Test-results shown in table 2.No.1~6 are that example, No.7~17 are that comparative example, No.18 are the conventional example that uses JIS SCr420 steel.
As shown in Table 2, the material obtaining than conventional example (No.18) being carried out to carburizing and quenching, temper, it is better that the tufftride of No.1~6 is processed the fatigue strength of material.The bit cutting processibility that the tufftride of No.1~6 is processed front former material (forge hot material) is more than equal rank with current material in practical.In addition, utilize transmission electron microscope observation and EDX to form to precipitate the result of investigating and be, process in material in the tufftride of No.1~6, can confirm every 1 μ m in Bainite Phases of Some 2disperse to separate out the nano-precipitation that 500 particle diameters that contain above V, Nb are less than 10nm.Can think according to this result, the precipitation strength bringing by above-mentioned nano-precipitation according to tufftride processing material of the present invention demonstrates high-fatigue strength.
On the other hand, the chemical constitution of comparative example No.7~17 or the microstructure obtaining outside the scope of the invention, therefore fatigue strength or drill bit poor in processability.
Particularly No.7, because the speed of cooling after forge hot is slow, therefore fatigue strength is low compared with example.At this, the result of the transmission electron microscope observation of No.7 is, do not observe the dispersion that particle diameter is less than the nano-precipitation of 10nm and separates out, and observe the thick precipitate of particle diameter much larger than 10nm.Can think according to this result, the precipitate of generation is thick is like this reason that fatigue strength reduces.That is, can not obtain desired bainite structure if the speed of cooling after forge hot is slow, before tufftride, generate thick precipitate, the growing amount of tufftride nano-precipitation after treatment reduces, and result causes precipitation strength insufficient.
The C amount of No.8 exceeds outside the scope of the invention, and therefore the hardness of bainite structure increases, and drill bit processibility reduces.
Si, the Mn amount of No.9 exceeds outside the scope of the invention, and therefore the hardness of forge hot material is high, and drill bit processibility is reduced to approximately 1/5 of current material.
The Mn amount of No.10 is low to moderate outside the scope of the invention, before tufftride (after forge hot) generate ferrite-pearlite tissue and make the area occupation ratio reduction of bainite structure, in tissue, separate out V, Nb precipitate, therefore the hardness before tufftride increases, and drill bit processibility reduces.
The Cr amount of No.11 is low to moderate outside the scope of the invention, before tufftride (after forge hot) generate ferrite-pearlite tissue and make the area occupation ratio reduction of bainite structure, in tissue, separate out V, Nb precipitate, therefore the hardness before tufftride increases, and drill bit processibility reduces.
The Mo amount of No.12 is low to moderate outside the scope of the invention, and therefore tufftride nano-precipitation amount after treatment is few, can not obtain sufficient core hardness, and therefore fatigue strength is lower than conventional example.
V, the Nb of No.13 are low to moderate outside the scope of the invention, and therefore tufftride precipitate amount after treatment is few, can not obtain sufficient core hardness, and therefore fatigue strength is lower than current material.
The Nb of No.14 is low to moderate outside the scope of the invention, and therefore tufftride precipitate amount after treatment is few, therefore, can not obtain sufficient core hardness, and fatigue strength is lower than current material.
No.15 and No.16 have added Ti, and the amount of separating out of the precipitate that therefore tufftride contains V, Nb after processing is few, therefore, can not obtain sufficient core hardness, and fatigue strength is lower than current material.In addition, impact value is also shown as low value.
The Al of No.17 is low to moderate outside the scope of the invention, and therefore tufftride surface hardness after treatment and effective case depth are low, and therefore fatigue strength is lower than current material.
