Detailed description of the invention
Describing the present invention below, it is a kind of preferred embodiment in numerous embodiments of the present invention.
In a preferred embodiment, a kind of titanium axle of motor train unit steel heat treatment process Han niobium, comprise the steps: (1) for the first time quenching: niobium titanium EMU axles steel will be contained and be heated to temperature 870~900 DEG C, in this temperature section heating and thermal insulation time by 1.5~2.0min/mm calculating, carry out water-cooled subsequently to room temperature;(2) second time quenching: will contain niobium titanium EMU axles steel and be heated to temperature 850~880 DEG C, in this temperature section heating and thermal insulation time by 1.5~2.0min/mm calculating, cools down subsequently;(3) tempering: will contain niobium titanium EMU axles steel and be heated to temperature 620~680 DEG C, in this temperature section heating and thermal insulation time by 2~2.5min/mm calculating, air cooling is to room temperature subsequently.
In a further advantageous embodiment, following scheme can be used: (1) suitably reduces the C element content in tradition carbon axle, improves toughness and the plasticity of steel;(2) in steel, add Ni, Cu element and improve quenching degree and the corrosion resistance of steel, and add Zr, Nb, Ti element of trace with crystal grain thinning, thus improve the toughness particularly low-temperature flexibility of steel, and improve intensity and the toughness cooperation of steel, improve the anti-fatigue performance of steel;(3) adding appropriate Ca element, the field trash in steel carries out degenerative treatments, impurity element T [O], the content of P, S etc. in the strictest control steel, to improve the anti-fatigue performance of steel further.The present invention's it is critical that adjust optimizing components and control organically to combine with metallurgical quality, while obtaining high intensity, it is thus achieved that excellent resisting fatigue destructive characteristics and relatively low cost.
The specific chemical composition (weight %) of steel of the present invention is as follows: C:0.24~0.30, Si:0.20~0.40, Mn:0.70~1.00, Cr:0.90~1.20, Ni:0.70~1.30, Mo:0.20~0.30, Cu:0.10~0.60, Zr:0.01~0.04, Nb:0.020~0.050, Ti:0.015~0.030, Ca:0.001~0.005, P≤0.010, S≤0.008, T [O]≤0.0015, Als:0.015~0.045, remaining for Fe with other inevitable impurity.
The effect of above-mentioned each element and proportioning are according to as follows:
C:C element is that axle steel obtains necessary to high intensity, hardness.C content in tradition axle steel is higher, if the carbon content in current lorry axle steel LZ50 is 0.50%.Although high C content is favourable to the intensity of steel, hardness etc., but the plasticity and toughness to steel is totally unfavorable, and make yield tensile ratio reduce, Decarburization Sensitivity increases, and deteriorates anti-fatigue performance and the processing characteristics of steel.The most suitably reduce the C content in steel, controlled below 0.30%.But, in order to obtain required high intensity and necessary fatigue behaviour after quenching and high tempering, C content must be more than 0.24%, thus C content preferably controls to be 0.24~0.30%.
Si:Si is deoxidant element main in steel, there is the strongest solution strengthening effect, but the plasticity and toughness that make steel are declined by Si too high levels, the activity increase of C, promote steel decarburization in rolling and heat treatment process and graphitization tendency, and make smelting difficulty and be easily formed field trash, deteriorating the anti-fatigue performance of steel.Therefore controlling Si content is 0.20~0.40%.
Mn:Mn is the effective element of deoxidation and desulfurization, it is also possible to improve quenching degree and the intensity of steel, when content is less than 0.70%, it is difficult to function as described above.But during hardened steel tempering, Mn and P has strong grain boundary cosegregation to be inclined to, and promotes temper brittleness, deteriorate the toughness of steel, thus control Mn content below 1.00%.
Cr:Cr can be effectively improved quenching degree and the resistance to tempering of steel, the high intensity needed for obtaining;Cr also can reduce the activity of C simultaneously, it is possible to decrease heats, roll and steel surface decarburizing tendency in heat treatment process, has to utilize and obtains high anti-fatigue performance.But too high levels can deteriorate the toughness of steel, thus controlling Cr content is 0.90~1.20%.
Ni:Ni can improve the quenching degree of steel, corrosion resistance and guarantee steel toughness at low temperatures.In view of economy, controlling Ni content is 0.80~1.30%.
Mo:Mo effect in steel predominantly improves quenching degree, improves resistance to tempering and prevent temper brittleness.Additionally, the reasonable coordination of Mo element and Cr element can make quenching degree and resistance to tempering be improved significantly.Mo content the most above-mentioned too low limited use, Mo too high levels, the most above-mentioned effect is saturated, and improves the cost of steel.Therefore, controlling Mo content is 0.20~0.30%.
Cu:Cu is similar to Ni in terms of solution strengthening, raising quenching degree.Meanwhile, adding copper and also can improve the corrosion fatigue resistant performance of steel in steel, because tiny Cu precipitation has blocked the formation of the initial stage vein texture of fatigue, and copper precipitate has good plasticity, can hinder the extension of fatigue crack;The steel corrosion resistance effect it addition, Cu also improves;Thus improve the corrosion fatigue strength of steel.But Cu too high levels, steel easily causes hot-short in heating rolling or forging process.Considering, range-controllable system is 0.10~0.60%.
Zr: adding a small amount of zirconium has degassing, purification and Grain refinement, is conducive to improving low temperature impact properties and intensity, the fatigue behaviour index of steel.Considering, range-controllable system is 0.010~0.040%.
Nb:Nb mainly shows as crystal grain refinement, precipitation strength and phase transformation strengthening to the Strengthening and Toughening effect of axle steel.Nb exists with displacement solute atoms in steel, Nb atomic ratio iron atom size is big, easily segregation on dislocation line, dislocation climb is produced strong effect of dragging, makes Recrystallization nucleation be suppressed, recrystallization is had strong interception, improve the recrystallization temperature of austenite, thus reaching the purpose of fining austenite grains, crystal grain refinement can not only improve the obdurability of steel, and improves the cryogenic property of steel.But it is expensive.Considering, the range-controllable system of Nb is 0.020%~0.050%.
Ti: add tiny alloying element Ti in steel and can play solid solution, segregation and precipitation, when them, Interaction Energy produces refined crystalline strengthening, precipitate dispersion-strengtherning and inclusion conditioning etc. with carbon, nitrogen, sulfur etc., the intensity and the toughness that make steel are strengthened, and can improve steel belt roof bolt stability.Considering, the range-controllable system of Ti is 0.015%~0.030%.
Ca:Ca has deoxidization desulfuration and the effect to non-metallic inclusion degenerative treatments, thus improves toughness and the anti-fatigue performance of steel.Ca content does not has above-mentioned effect less than 0.001%, but content is more than 0.005%, then add extremely difficult, and field trash amount increases.Thus controlling Ca content is 0.001~0.005%.
P:P can form microsegregation when solidification of molten steel, and when austenitizing temperature heats, segregation, at crystal boundary, makes the fragility of steel significantly increase subsequently, so controlling the content of P below 0.012%.
S: inevitable impurity in steel, forms MnS and is mingled with and can deteriorate toughness and the anti-fatigue performance of steel at Grain Boundary Segregation, thus control its content below 0.008%.
T [O]: oxygen forms various oxide in steel and is mingled with.Under the effect of stress, easily produce stress at these oxide places of being mingled with and concentrate, cause the germinating of micro-crack, thus deteriorate mechanical property particularly toughness and the anti-fatigue performance of steel.Therefore, must take measures to reduce its content as far as possible in metallurgical production.In view of economy, control its content below 0.0015%.
