Description

For the inoculant alloy of thick cast iron member
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of inoculant alloy for the treatment of cast iron.
Background technology
Cast iron is a kind of well-known iron-carbon, and it is widely used for manufacturing machine parts.Cast iron by before casting in a mold, at the temperature between 1320-1450 DEG C, is obtained by the alloy that cooling obtains with liquid state hybrid alloys composition.
When cooled, carbon can take several physicalchemical structure according to several parameter.
When carbon together with metal and formed iron carbide Fe 3time C (also referred to as cementite), the cast iron of acquisition is called white iron.White iron has hard and crisp character, and this is not satisfied for some application.
If carbon exists with the form of graphite, the cast iron of acquisition is called graphitic cast iron.Graphitic cast iron is softer and can be processed.
In order to obtain the cast iron member with good mechanical properties, be therefore necessary to obtain the structure of cast iron, this cast-iron structure comprises maximum quantity with the carbon of form of graphite, and limits these as far as possible and make alloy hardening and the formation of the iron carbide become fragile.
But without any in specific inoculation, carbon easily and iron combine thus form iron carbide.Therefore, be necessary to process cast iron in liquid state thus change the correlation parameter of carbon and obtain the structure expected.
For this reason, liquid cast is through inoculation, and the object of this inoculation is in cast iron, introduce greying composition or greying carrier, is commonly referred to core (germe), promotes graphite but not the appearance of iron carbide when cast iron cools by a mold.
Usually, the composition of nucleating agent is therefore by promoting that at cast iron setting up period the element of the decomposition of being formed of graphite and iron carbide is formed.Embodiment can comprise carbon, silicon, calcium, aluminium
Certainly, can nucleating agent be designed thus meet other functions and comprise other composition with special role for this reason.Cast iron also can through extra process before or subsequently.
Therefore, according to desired properties, especially expect that the graphite formed is spherical, vermiform or laminar.
Or graphite shape can preferably by the mode of special component by obtaining the special processing of cast iron.
Therefore, such as, by being called that the process of spheroidizing can promote the formation of globular graphite, spheroidizing main purpose is for cast iron provides enough magnesium, thus graphite can grow, to form circular granular (spherule or ore deposit knurl).
These nodulizing agent compositions added with the form of particular alloy (inoculant alloy) usually during particular procedure before the nucleating agent process of cast iron.
Therefore, inoculant alloy fundamentally can affect the shape of graphite spheroids, and wherein the object of inoculant products is the quantity of these spheroids of increase and makes graphite-structure homogenizing.
Can also mention and add desulfurization product or can according to the product of some defects of the initial composition particular procedure cast iron of liquid cast bath, these defects are such as the small shrinkage cavity or perforation that possible during cooling occur.
These process can implement one or many in the different moment during manufacture cast iron.
Major part nucleating agent is usually by ferro-silicon such as FeSi 45, FeSi 65or FeSi 75manufacture, simultaneously according to the nucleating agent composition adjustment chemical composition of target.Described nucleating agent also can be made up of the mixture of several alloy.
It should be noted, the inoculation efficiency of cast iron member also depends on its thickness (or depending on solidification rate).
In the region that thickness is little, cooling is faster, will note the risk of larger formation carbide.
On the contrary, in the region that thickness is larger, cooling is by slack-off (2-4 hour) and will promote the formation of graphite.
Therefore, the parts with different thickness region can have different physicalchemical structure from a region to another region, and this is less desirable.
In addition, the regional control crystal nucleation larger at thickness is still difficult, and can cause obtaining inconsistent structure.
For the parts had compared with heavy thickness, when not controlling inoculation method, the graphite of degeneration and/or the formation of " tubbiness " graphite may reduce the mechanical property of cast iron.In order to solve these defects, Metallurgical Factory adds star antimony usually in liquid metal.
In liquid metal, add star antimony, because the ratio very low (in liquid cast per ton the 10-30g order of magnitude) introduced, create accuracy problem.The interpolation efficiency of star antimony is between 50-80%, and effectively therefore introduction volume is difficult to control.
If amount not, can form the graphite of degeneration in the structure.
On the contrary, if introduction volume is greater than target, antimony will be easy to significantly increase perlitic ratio, and perlitic be less desirable in ferritic structure.
When adding star antimony, Metallurgical Factory should add rare earth element (being called for short RE) further thus obtain the maximum improvement of graphite shape.Similarly, if the quantity not sufficient of rare earth element, these parts will have " pointed " type graphite defect.On the contrary, if rare earth element amount is too high, graphite defect will be " short and thick " type, the type substantially appear at the starting material of use relatively pure time.
These " pointed " or " short and thick " type graphite defect worsen the mechanical property of cast iron, the tensile strength of the parts especially formed and shock resistance.
In addition, in liquid cast, introduce star antimony cause it to vaporize, and therefore cause strong venting.Measured, along with the interpolation of star antimony, the threshold value of the release of antimony is in the work environment higher than 0.5mg/m 3, this is release ultimate value (this ultimate value ELV is by regulation setting).Therefore, operator must have on the mouth mask work for protecting N95 type particulate or higher particulate.
The process of the parts with less thickness has been considered to be used for developing specific nucleating agent.Document FR2511044A1, FR2855186A1 and EP0816522A1 describe such nucleating agent for thin parts.
According to these documents, those nucleating agents for thin parts especially comprise ferrosilicon base inoculant alloy, and the rare earth element comprised by weight between 0.005-0.3%, especially lanthanum, and bismuth, lead or the antimony by weight between 0.005-0.3%, the ratio of the rare earth element had/(bismuth+lead+antimony) is between 0.9-2.2; Bismuth is particularly preferred, protects and only protect bismuth in the specification sheets of these documents.
It should be noted that these documents only disclose the purposes of antimony in general mode, and they do not comprise specific embodiment, also do not comprise the particular value about this element.
Be referred in the document of the purposes of antimony at other, following document can be enumerated.
Document WO2006/068487A1 describes a kind of nucleating agent, and it comprises phase altered contents (function of nucleating agent) and the reagent for modified graphite structure, and this reagent can be made up of antimony.It should be noted, this structurally-modified reagent is used for the mixture of nucleating agent compound (ferrosilicon), and is not the form of combining.In addition, it is pearl rock mass promotor that antimony is significantly taken as, and as mentioned above, this phase is normally less desirable.The usage quantity of antimony is between 3-15%, and the origin place that this usage quantity is equivalent to divide at the perlite body formed significantly measures.
Document JP2200718A describes a kind of nucleating agent, and it is made up of the mixture of ferrosilicon, antimony, calcium silicide and rare earth element.Antimony does not use with the form of associating.
Document JP57067146A describes silicon ferrous alloy, it comprise antimony by weight between 5-50% and up to 10% rare earth element.Except a high proportion of antimony, this alloy is used as pearl rock mass inhibitor, and is not used as nucleating agent.
Also have some articles and document to relate to the nodulizing agent function (form of graphite) of antimony, it is not main purpose and does not solve problems of inoculation (quality and quantity of ore deposit knurl).In addition, its generally include antimony with mixing and the purposes of the form of non-associating.
Therefore, a kind of inoculant alloy that can improve the process of thick parts is needed.
Summary of the invention
For this reason, target of the present invention is a kind of inoculant alloy for the treatment of thick ferrosilicon base cast iron member, described inoculant alloy comprises the rare earth element by weight between 0.005-3%, it is characterized in that, described inoculant alloy also comprises the antimony by weight between 0.2-2%.
Therefore, unexpected discovery really, when antimony ratio as requested combines rare earth element in silicon ferrous alloy, realization is effectively bred and has stable spherule by antimony, and these thick parts do not have the above-mentioned shortcoming mentioned of star antimony.
Especially, introduce antimony with the form of alloy and allow the effective use realizing antimony, the order of magnitude is 97-99%.Therefore, effective introduction volume is more accurately learnt.
Therefore, the raising of efficiency can be used in product economy and simplifies the management of product additive (comprising rare earth element).
Due to this efficiency increase and reduce gas purging in air simultaneously, for these additives of management operator Working environment also improve.
Use can limit antimony according to alloy of the present invention be emitted on 0.1-0.2mg/m 3between, and no longer need to use breathing mask.
Also it should be noted that the associating of antimony/rare earth element extends the fall time of antimony significantly.Therefore, the product effect lasts long period in whole castingprocesses.Will be noted that, in the inoculant alloy for thin parts, be even longer than the fall time of bismuth the fall time of antimony.
According to the alloy of the application after adding ladle or smelting furnace, can therefore, it is possible to replace and even cancel extra injection or with post inoculation.
Also strongly can limit especially according to the alloy of the application and even avoid " short and thick " or " pointed " type graphite defect, but also by determining that Oxygen potential is greater than 95% and impels spherule close to the perfect spherical form further improving graphite simultaneously.
