Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of mould steel high-efficiency and continuous method for annealing, belong to technical field of metal heat treatment.
Background technology
Mould steel (high-speed steel and mould steel) is because having many advantages, such as high rigidity, high-wearing feature, mainly for the manufacture of high speed
Complicated cutting element, precision die etc. are the important foundation materials of high-end equipment manufacture.By high-carbon high-alloy at setting up separately
Meter, formed in mould steel a large amount of hard, stabilization alloy carbide, there is highly important influence on material property.Pass through
Heat treatment process can regulate and control carbide quantity, size, type and distribution, improve steel hardness, intensity, red hardness, plasticity and toughness
Deng to promote the service life of tool and mould.
Annealing is one of common heat treatment process of mould steel, can improve mould steel processing performance.According to annealing mesh
Difference, there are many mould steel annealing process.After every time cold working of mould steel or hot-working, centre need to be carried out and moved back
Fire heats below austenitizing temperature, eliminates internal machining stress, restorer working ability.Intermediate annealing can not be protected
The organizational requirements for demonstrate,proving mould steel use state usually require to carry out full annealing before tempering of quenching, improve mould steel plasticity,
And carry out tissue preparation for temper of quenching.Full annealing refers to that mould steel is heated to austenitizing transition temperature or more,
And eutectoid reaction occurs in cooling procedure, obtain annealing Soxhlet body tissue.Since mould steel alloying element content is high, Ovshinsky
Body stability is stronger, and cooling improper easily formation martensite or bainite structure, material plasticity deteriorate.
To avoid the above situation, using extremely slow cooling velocity (usually less than 1 DEG C/min) in actual production, or
Using isothermal annealed processes, i.e., a certain temperature (eutectoid) long-time isothermal is down to after austenitizing, to ensure Ovshinsky
Eutectoid reaction fully occurs for body.However, slow cool annealing process and long-time isothermal annealed processes not only make production efficiency reduce, and
And it is easy to cause mould steel microstructure coarsening, it is unfavorable to processing performance and performance.
Therefore, novel mould steel annealing process is developed, while improving production efficiency and liver mass, for high property
Energy mould steel production is of great significance.

Topic, the present invention provide a kind of mould steel high-efficiency and continuous method for annealing.
Technical solution:Mould steel high-efficiency and continuous method for annealing of the present invention, includes the following steps:
(1) austenitizing:Mould steel is heated to 840~920 DEG C of heat preservations, carries out abundant austenitizing;
(2) it is quickly cooled down:The specific temperature section of the mould steel fast cooling to 770~810 DEG C of austenitizing;
(3) continuous coo1ing is controlled:After the mould steel temperature of austenitizing reaches 770~810 DEG C, 2~5 DEG C of control/
The cooling velocity of min carries out continuous coo1ing;
(4) continuous coo1ing is air-cooled to 450~550 DEG C or so.
The specific temperature section and step that austenitizing temperature in above-mentioned steps (1) is reached with rapid cooling in step (2)
(3) the continuous coo1ing speed of the control in has correspondence.Preferably, when in step (1) austenitizing temperature be 840~
At 850 DEG C, the temperature range of fast cooling to 795~810 DEG C in step (2), on this basis, austenitizing temperature often increases
10~20 DEG C, being quickly cooled down the temperature range of arrival reduces by 5~10 DEG C.Further, when in step (1) austenitizing temperature be
At 840~850 DEG C, the continuous coo1ing speed controlled in step (3) is 4.5~5 DEG C/min, on this basis, austenitizing temperature
Degree often increases 10~20 DEG C, and continuous coo1ing speed reduces by 0.5~1 DEG C/min.
Inventive principle:The present invention after 840~920 DEG C of austenitizings by mould steel by being quickly cooled to specific temperature
Section (770~810 DEG C), microstructure coarsening and the improper problem of Carbide Precipitation caused by controllable preparing high-temp is slowly annealed;Reach
After stating specific warm area, control continuous coo1ing speed can shorten the annealing time between 2~5 DEG C/min;Pass through coordinated signals
Austenitizing temperature and cooling velocity control eutectoid reaction behavior and transformation tissue, obtain uniformly tiny spherical annealed structure.
Advantageous effect:Compared with existing isothermal annealing and slow cool annealing process, mould steel high-efficiency and continuous of the invention
Annealing process not only shortens annealing time, improves production efficiency, but also annealed structure is made to refine, and promotes mould steel tissue
Quality.
