Detailed Description
The embodiment of the invention provides a high-nitrogen stainless steel heat treatment process which is completed by simple continuous heat treatment equipment and has low cost and high efficiency.
Specifically, the embodiment of the invention provides a heat treatment process of a high-nitrogen stainless steel, which comprises the following steps:
placing a high-nitrogen stainless steel sample to be treated in continuous heat treatment equipment, wherein the high-nitrogen stainless steel sample sequentially passes through a heating preheating zone, a high-temperature heat preservation zone, a cooling zone and a cooling zone of the continuous heat treatment equipment; in the continuous heat treatment equipment, the high-nitrogen stainless steel sample is subjected to the following heat treatment:
in the temperature-rising preheating zone, under the atmosphere of nitrogen and hydrogen, the temperature is raised from room temperature to 700-950 ℃ at a first temperature-rising rate, and then the temperature is kept for 5-15 min;
in the high-temperature heat preservation area, under the atmosphere of nitrogen and hydrogen, the temperature is continuously raised to 1000-1250 ℃ at a second temperature raising rate, and then the temperature is preserved for 10-40 min;

and in the cooling zone, cooling to room temperature by using an air atmosphere to obtain the heat-treated high-nitrogen stainless steel.
Fig. 1 is a schematic structural view of a continuous heat treatment apparatus used in an embodiment of the present invention. The continuous heat treatment equipment comprises 4 continuously arranged boxes, wherein the 4 boxes are respectively corresponding to different temperature areas: a temperature-raising preheating zone 101, a high-temperature heat-preserving zone 102, a temperature-lowering zone 103 and a cooling zone 104. Wherein the temperature-raising preheating zone 101, the high-temperature holding zone 102 and the temperature-lowering zone 103 have different temperature points in the sample conveyance direction. In the heat treatment process, a high-nitrogen stainless steel sample to be treated sequentially passes through a heating and preheating zone 101, a high-temperature heat preservation zone 102, a cooling zone 103 and a cooling zone 104 of the equipment. The heat treatment process of the embodiment of the invention is completed by adopting the simple continuous heat treatment equipment, so that the equipment cost is greatly reduced. In the whole heat treatment process, the high-nitrogen stainless steel sample continuously passes through 4 different temperature areas of a heating preheating area 101, a high-temperature heat preservation area 102, a cooling area 103 and a cooling area 104 of the equipment in sequence. Therefore, compared with the existing heat treatment process, the process does not need to be subjected to the long temperature rising and reducing processes from room temperature to high temperature (1175-1250 ℃) in one furnace body, and then from the high temperature to the room temperature, so that the process time is greatly shortened. Moreover, the heat treatment process of the embodiment can also be used for continuous production, the production efficiency can reach 3000 standard parts per hour, which is 6 times of the production efficiency of the existing heat treatment process, and the production efficiency of the high-nitrogen stainless steel is effectively improved.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the continuous heat treatment apparatus may be, but is not limited to, a mesh belt furnace, as long as the continuous heat treatment of different temperature zones can be realized. Compared with the vacuum atmosphere furnace used in the existing high-nitrogen stainless steel heat treatment process, the mesh belt furnace has low equipment cost (10-30 ten thousand RMB) which is only 1/7-1/10 of the price of the vacuum atmosphere furnace, thereby effectively reducing the mass production threshold of the high-nitrogen stainless steel.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the stainless steel sample to be processed is sent into the continuous heat treatment apparatus by using a conveyor, and sequentially passes through different temperature regions of the continuous heat treatment apparatus. Wherein, the conveying device can be a conveying mesh belt or a flat plate.
In the temperature-raising preheating zone 101, the temperature is raised from room temperature to 700 ℃ to 950 ℃ at a first temperature-raising rate (for example, 700 ℃, 770 ℃, 830 ℃, 900 ℃, 950 ℃), and then the temperature is maintained for 5min to 15min (for example, 5min, 7min, 11min, 15 min). The atoms can be effectively activated by heat preservation in the heating preheating zone, and the solid solution effect of the N atoms is improved. In the embodiment of the invention, both the temperature rise efficiency and the internal stress of the stainless steel sample are taken into consideration, and the first temperature rise rate can be set to be 60 ℃/min-90 ℃/min (for example, 60 ℃/min, 65 ℃/min, 70 ℃/min, 75 ℃/min, 80 ℃/min, 90 ℃/min).
In the embodiment of the present invention, in the high temperature holding section 102, the temperature is further raised from 700 ℃ to 950 ℃ to 1000 ℃ to 1250 ℃ (for example, 1000 ℃, 1050 ℃, 1090 ℃, 1120 ℃, 1150 ℃, 1180 ℃, 1200 ℃, 1250 ℃) at a second temperature raising rate, and then held for 10min to 40min (for example, 10min, 15min, 25min, 35min, 40 min). A suitable second ramp rate ensures that the grain size does not grow while further activating atoms. In the embodiment of the present invention, the second temperature increase rate may be 15 ℃/min to 25 ℃/min (for example, 15 ℃/min, 18 ℃/min, 20 ℃/min, 24 ℃/min, 25 ℃/min).
Specifically, the control process of the temperature rise may be, for example: the inside of the temperature-raising preheating zone 101 has different temperature points which gradually rise along the sample conveying direction, for example, to the position A in FIG. 1, the temperature reaches up to 720 ℃, if the outside room temperature is 20 ℃, that is, the sample temperature is 20 ℃, and the temperature-raising rate is assumed to be 70 ℃/min, then the stainless steel sample passes through 10min from the conveying device to the position A with the temperature of 720 ℃ on the conveying device, then the stainless steel sample is conveyed away from the temperature-raising preheating zone 101 by the conveying device at the temperature of 720 ℃ for 5min to 15min from the position A and enters the high-temperature heat preservation zone 102, that is, the temperature of the zone section from the position A to the sample outlet of the temperature-raising preheating zone 101 along the sample conveying direction is 720 ℃. Similarly, the inside of the high temperature holding section 102 has different temperature points which gradually rise along the sample conveying direction, for example, to the position B in FIG. 1, the temperature reaches the maximum of 1020 ℃, and assuming that the temperature rising rate is 15 ℃/min, the stainless steel sample enters the high temperature holding section 102 at 720 ℃, passes through 20min to the position B, is conveyed away from the high temperature holding section 102 by the conveying device at 1020 ℃ for 10min to 40min, and enters the cooling section 103, namely, the temperature of the section from the position B to the sample outlet of the high temperature holding section 102 along the sample conveying direction is 1020 ℃.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the temperature-raising preheating zone 101 and the high-temperature heat-preserving zone 102 both use nitrogen and hydrogen atmospheres. The hydrogen has reducibility, and can remove impurity atoms on the surface layer of the high-nitrogen stainless steel sample, reduce surface brittleness and effectively improve the performance of the surface layer. The nitrogen can prevent nitrogen atoms on the surface of the high-nitrogen stainless steel from volatilizing, so that the reduction of the surface hardness of the high-nitrogen stainless steel caused by the volatilization of the nitrogen atoms is avoided.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the volume ratio of nitrogen to hydrogen is 2:1 to 5:1 (for example, 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, 5: 1). The suitable nitrogen-hydrogen volume ratio can effectively prevent the surface nitrogen atoms from volatilizing, avoid the surface from forming brittle phases and improve the surface performance of the high-nitrogen stainless steel.
In the embodiment of the invention, the cooling gas in the cooling zone 103 may be ammonia gas or nitrogen gas, and the cooling rate may be 70 ℃/min to 130 ℃/min (for example, 70 ℃/min, 90 ℃/min, 110 ℃/min, 120 ℃/min, 130 ℃/min).
Specifically, the control process of the temperature reduction may be, for example: the inside of the cooling zone 103 has different temperature points gradually decreasing along the sample conveying direction, and assuming that the temperature at the sample inlet is 1020 ℃, the temperature at the sample outlet is 220 ℃, and the cooling rate is 100 ℃/min, the stainless steel sample enters the cooling zone 103 at 1020 ℃ to be cooled to 220 ℃ after 8min, and then is carried away from the cooling zone 103 by the conveying device to enter the cooling zone 104.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the length dimension of each of the different temperature regions of the continuous heat treatment apparatus in the sample transport direction is generally 1m to 2m (e.g., 1m, 1.2m, 1.5m, 1.8m, 2 m). Specifically, the continuous heat treatment equipment comprises four box bodies which respectively correspond to a heating preheating area, a high-temperature heat preservation area, a cooling area and a cooling area, and the length of each box body in the sample conveying direction is 1-2 m.
In the embodiment of the invention, the specific heating rate and the heat preservation time are determined by the transmission rate of the mesh belt and the length of the box body of each temperature area of the equipment. Therefore, in actual operation, the conveying speed of the conveyor can be set appropriately according to the length of the housing in each temperature region, and the desired temperature rise rate, holding time, or cooling rate. In the embodiment of the invention, optionally, the conveying device moves and transmits at the speed of 2cm/min-20 cm/min. Namely, the high-nitrogen stainless steel sample to be processed is transferred at the speed of 2-20cm/min (such as 2cm/min, 5cm/min, 10cm/min, 15cm/min and 20cm/min) in a moving way and sequentially passes through a temperature-raising preheating zone, a high-temperature heat-preserving zone, a temperature-lowering zone and a cooling zone of continuous heat treatment equipment.
In an embodiment of the invention, the stainless steel sample to be treated is laid on the conveyor in a single layer. The laminated arrangement of the samples can affect the temperature uniformity of the product and the heat treatment effect.
In the embodiment of the invention, the high-nitrogen stainless steel sample to be treated is sintered high-nitrogen stainless steel; the nitrogen distribution in the sintered high-nitrogen stainless steel is not uniform, and the nitrogen distribution can be uniform through heat treatment, so that the performance of the stainless steel is improved.
The heat treatment process of the high-nitrogen stainless steel provided by the embodiment of the invention is completed by adopting simple continuous heat treatment equipment, has low cost, high efficiency and good solid solution effect, and is beneficial to realizing the mass production application of the high-nitrogen stainless steel.
Correspondingly, the embodiment of the invention also provides the high-nitrogen stainless steel prepared by the process, and the high-nitrogen stainless steel product has high solid solubility, high hardness, high strength and excellent mechanical property.
