Description

High-strength and high-toughness steel

The invention belongs to field of alloy steel.Mainly be applicable to the component of the load that withstands shocks, particularly bear the parts of high velocity impact.

Such as the component of the load that withstands shocks, the material that requires to be adopted must have good combination of strength and toughness and higher anti-shearing unstability ability, promptly requires material to have advantages of higher tensile strength and fracture toughness property, and lower yield tensile ratio.Table 1 has been listed several normal

The mechanical property of several ultrahigh-strength steel commonly used of table 1

With the tensile strength (σ of ultrahigh-strength steel _b) yield tensile ratio (σ _0.2/ σ _b) and fracture toughness property (KIC).

As seen from Table 1, the main drawback of low-alloy super-strength steel is that fracture toughness property is lower.The deficiency of maraging steel is that yield tensile ratio is too high, anti-shearing unstability ability.HP9-4-20, Hy180 in the secondary hardening Ma Shi steel and the intensity of AF1410 are all lower, though and AerMet100 has high intensity, KIC is lower, all not ideal enough (EP390468, US3502462, US3338709, US4076825).

The object of the present invention is to provide a kind of tensile strength and fracture toughness property height, yield tensile ratio is low and over-all properties is good high-strength and high-toughness steel.

Based on above-mentioned purpose, main technical schemes of the present invention is to add chromium, molybdenum, niobium, titanium, aluminium and rare earth element in the iron-nickel-cobalt alloy of low-carbon (LC), forms the secondary hardening martensitic steel.Its concrete chemical ingredients (wt%) is:

C 0.20～0.27, and Ni 8～10, and Co 8～11, and Mo 0.5～2, and Cr 1～4, and Nb 0.01～0.05, and Ti 0.005～0.05, and Al 0.005～0.05, and RE 0.002～0.15, and surplus is Fe; In addition, require S, P＜50ppm, N＜15ppm, O＜20ppm, Si≤0.10, Mn≤0.10

Design of chemical composition is according to as follows:

Elements such as C and Cr, Mo form carbide, improve the hardness and the tensile strength of steel, and reduce the yield tensile ratio of steel.But too much C can cause fracture toughness property to reduce, and C content is at least 0.20%, and the upper limit is no more than 0.27%.

Ni improves the hardening capacity of steel, improves matrix toughness, and reduces the tough brittle transition temperature of steel; And too much Ni will cause the greying tendency of C, and make remained austenite content increase in the quenching structure, and Ni content is at least 8%, is no more than 10%.

Co improves the hardness and the intensity of steel on the one hand by solution strengthening; On the other hand, Co postpones the answer of dislocation substructure again, makes near carbide forming core dislocation line, the refinement precipitated phase.But too much Co will make yield tensile ratio improve, and the cost of steel is risen significantly, so that Co is controlled at is 8～11% comparatively suitable.

Mo combines with carbon in steel and produces secondary hardening, and too much Mo will cause the toughness of steel obviously to descend, so Mo is no more than 2%, lower limit is no less than 0.5%.

Cr can improve the toughness of steel in 1～4% scope, and produces secondary hardening with Mo.

Small amount of N b and Ti be crystal grain thinning effectively.Ti can also change the type of inclusion, improves its hole forming core drag, improves the toughness of steel.RE is form and the distribution by improving inclusion then, and the toughness of steel is produced favourable influence.

Simultaneously, in order to obtain good combination of strength and toughness, the content of impurity element is controlled in necessary strictness, and wherein P, S are advisable to be no more than 50ppm, and O is no more than 20ppm, and N is no more than 15ppm.

Steel of the present invention adopts vacuum induction furnace smelting to add the melting technology of consumable electrode vacuum furnace remelting.The steel ingot processing that should under 1200 ℃, homogenize after the melting, in 850～1170 ℃ of scopes, carry out hot-work subsequently, under 850～900 ℃ of temperature, be incubated after the hot-work, carry out normalizing treatment, between 800～900 ℃ of temperature, carry out solution treatment then, in 480～510 ℃ of scopes, carry out ageing treatment at last.

According to above-mentioned chemical ingredients and the prepared steel of the present invention of production method, not only have advantages of higher tensile strength and fracture toughness property, but also have lower yield tensile ratio.It draws anti-intensity σ _b〉=1715MPa, σ _0.2〉=1490MPa, KIC 〉=135MPa m, σ _0.2/ σ _b≤ 0.89.

Compared with prior art, the present invention is the tensile strength height not only, and fracture toughness property is good, and yield tensile ratio is low, good economical benefit.

Embodiment

According to designed chemical ingredients scope, on the 50kg vacuum induction furnace, smelted 4 stoves steel of the present invention, its concrete chemical ingredients is as shown in table 2.

Table 2 embodiment chemical ingredients (wt%)

Continuous table 2

Steel ingot is through 1200 ℃, homogenized in 4 hours handle after, cogging under 1170 ℃ of temperature, reheat to 985 ℃, once forge into the sample blank, through 900 ℃, 1 hour normalizing treatment, softened processing in 6 hours 650 ℃ of insulations then before the sample machining, solution treatment is carried out in sample processing back under 840 ℃ of temperature, carry out ageing treatment afterwards under 480 ℃ of temperature.All samples at the timeliness post-treatment to final size.

Sample at room temperature carries out Erichsen test and fracture toughness test respectively, and the gained result lists table 3 in.

In order to contrast, also listed the relevant performance of AF140, AerMet100 alloy in table 3.

As seen from Table 3, the present invention has the KIC close with AF1410, but intensity is higher than AF1410, and has lower yield tensile ratio; Compare with AreMet100, the present invention has higher fracture toughness property.
