When reducing the C element content in traditional carbon axle, improve the toughness and plasticity of steel;(2) Ni, Cu element is added into steel to change
The quenching degree and corrosion resistance of kind steel, and micro Zr, Nb, [N] element are added in crystal grain thinning, it is special so as to improve the toughness of steel
It is low-temperature flexibility, and improves the intensity of steel and toughness cooperation, improves the anti-fatigue performance of steel;(3) suitable Ca elements are added in, it is right
Field trash in steel carries out denaturation treatment, while the stringent content for controlling impurity element T [O], P, S etc. in steel, further to carry
The anti-fatigue performance of Gao Gang.The present invention's it is critical that optimizing components adjustment has organically been combined with metallurgical quality control
Come, while high intensity is obtained, obtain excellent antifatigue destructive characteristics and relatively low cost.
The specific chemical composition (weight %) of steel 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,

0.0015, Als:0.015~0.045, remaining is Fe and other inevitable impurity.
The effect of above-mentioned each element and proportioning are according to as follows:
C:C element is necessary to axle steel obtains high intensity, hardness.C content in traditional axle steel is higher, such as mesh
Carbon content in preceding lorry axle steel LZ50 is 0.50%.Although high C content is favourable to intensity, hardness of steel etc.,
But it is totally unfavorable to the plasticity and toughness of steel, and make yield tensile ratio reduce, Decarburization Sensitivity increase, deteriorate steel anti-fatigue performance and
Processing performance.Therefore the appropriate C content reduced in steel, is controlled below 0.30%.However, it is after quenching and high tempering
High intensity and necessary fatigue behaviour needed for obtaining, C content must be more than 0.24%, thus C content preferably controls and is
0.24~0.30%.
Si:Si is main deoxidant element in steel, has very strong solution strengthening effect, but Si too high levels will make steel
Plasticity and toughness decline, the activity increase of C, and decarburization and graphitization of the steel in rolling and heat treatment process is promoted to be inclined to, and
Make smelting difficult and easily form field trash, deteriorate the anti-fatigue performance of steel.Therefore it is 0.20~0.40% to control Si contents.
Mn:Mn is the effective element of deoxidation and desulfurization, can also improve the quenching degree and intensity of steel, and content is less than 0.70%
When, it is difficult to it functions as described above.But when quenching temper, Mn and P have strong grain boundary cosegregation tendency, promote temper brittleness,
Deteriorate the toughness of steel, thus control Mn contents below 1.00%.
Cr:Cr can effectively improve the quenching degree and resistance to tempering of steel, to obtain required high intensity;Cr may be used also simultaneously
The activity of C is reduced, the steel surface decarburizing tendency in heating, rolling and heat treatment process can be reduced, has utilization to obtain high resist
Fatigue behaviour.But too high levels can deteriorate the toughness of steel, thus it is 0.90~1.20% to control Cr contents.
Ni:Ni can improve the quenching degree of steel, the toughness of corrosion resistance and guarantee steel at low temperature.In view of economy, control
Ni contents are 0.80~1.30%.
Mo:Effects of the Mo in steel predominantly improves quenching degree, improves resistance to tempering and prevent temper brittleness.In addition, Mo
The reasonable cooperation of element and Cr elements can make quenching degree and resistance to tempering be improved significantly.Mo contents are too low, and above-mentioned effect has
Limit, Mo too high levels, then above-mentioned effect saturation, and improve the cost of steel.Therefore, it is 0.20~0.30% to control Mo contents.
Cu:Cu is similar to Ni in terms of solution strengthening, raising quenching degree.Meanwhile addition copper can also improve steel in steel
Corrosion fatigue resistant performance, because tiny Cu precipitations have blocked the formation of the initial stage vein texture of fatigue, and copper is precipitated
Object has good plasticity, can hinder the extension of fatigue crack;In addition, Cu also improves, steel corrosion resistance acts on;So as to
Improve the corrosion fatigue strength of steel.But Cu too high levels, steel easily cause hot-short in heating rolling or forging process.Synthesis is examined
Consider, range-controllable system is 0.10~0.60%.
Zr:Adding in a small amount of zirconium has degassing, purification and Grain refinement, is conducive to improve the low temperature impact properties of steel and strong
Degree, fatigue behaviour index.Consider, range-controllable system is 0.010~0.040%.
Nb:Nb is mainly shown as crystal grain refinement, precipitation strength and phase transformation strengthening to the Strengthening and Toughening effect of axle steel.Nb is in steel
In to replace solute atoms presence, Nb atomic ratio iron atom sizes are big, the segregation easily on dislocation line, dislocation climb generated strong
Effect of dragging, be suppressed Recrystallization nucleation, to recrystallization have strong interception, improve tying again for austenite
Brilliant temperature, so as to achieve the purpose that fining austenite grains, crystal grain refinement can not only improve the obdurability of steel, and improve steel
The cryogenic property of material.But its is expensive.Consider, the range-controllable system of Nb is 0.015%~0.050%.
Ca:Ca plays an important role of deoxidization desulfuration and to non-metallic inclusion denaturation treatment, so as to improve the toughness of steel and anti-
Fatigue behaviour.Ca contents do not have above-mentioned effect less than 0.001%, but content is more than 0.005%, then add in it is extremely difficult, and
It is mingled with object amount to increase.It is 0.001~0.005% thus to control Ca contents.
P:P can form microsegregation in solidification of molten steel, and then when austenitizing temperature heats, segregation in crystal boundary, makes steel
Brittleness significantly increase, so control P content below 0.012%.
S:Inevitable impurity in steel forms MnS and is mingled with and can deteriorate the toughness of steel and antifatigue in crystal boundary segregation
Performance, thus its content is controlled below 0.008%.
[N]:In the presence of having V, Al, Nb, Ti etc. in steel, nitrogen can form carbonitride with them, can prevent austenite again
Crystallization, crystal grain thinning improves the toughness of steel, and can improve the intensity of steel.If nitrogen content is higher, can exist with solid solution condition, from
And deteriorate the toughness plasticity index of steel.Consider, range-controllable system is 0.0040~0.0060%.
T[O]:Oxygen forms various oxides in steel and is mingled with.It is easy at these oxide places of being mingled under the action of stress
Stress concentration is generated, causes the germinating of micro-crack, so as to deteriorate the mechanical property of steel particularly toughness and anti-fatigue performance.Cause
This, must take measures to reduce its content as far as possible in metallurgical production.In view of economy, control its content 0.0015% with
Under.
