Casting infiltration agent, wear-resistant steel casting and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a casting infiltration agent, a wear-resistant steel casting and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of wear-resistant materials.
Background
The casting infiltration technology is that alloy powder and hard particles are coated or made into a prefabricated part which is embedded on the specific surface of a casting mould, and a surface alloy layer with specific structure and performance is formed on the surface of a substrate by utilizing solidification residual heat during casting. The casting infiltration technology forms a composite casting infiltration layer on the local part of the easily worn casting, and can ensure that the casting has enough strength and toughness and greatly improve the wear resistance of the easily worn surface of the casting on the basis of not changing the original components and tissues of the casting, thereby prolonging the service life of the whole casting. And the casting infiltration technology has short production period, low energy consumption, simple process, no need of special equipment, thick composite layer and low cost, and is widely applied to industries such as metallurgy, mines, machinery and the like.
At present, chromium and other hard elements are mostly used as a reinforcing phase in the cast-infiltration technology, but the components are single, so that the matching relationship between the hardness and the toughness of a cast-infiltration layer is poor, and the cast-infiltration layer is easy to fall off and crack.
In the prior art, chinese patent application with application publication No. CN101195156A discloses a method for forming a cast-infiltration layer on the surface of a guide plate. The guide plate is formed by compounding a wear-resistant alloy layer and a matrix. The method comprises the following steps: grinding high-carbon ferrochrome, ferrovanadium, ferrotitanium and rare earth ferrosilicon into 200-300 meshes, uniformly stirring, adding 250-300 meshes of nickel-coated alumina powder, then adding resin, stirring, coating on the surface of a casting mold, solidifying for more than 30min, pouring medium-carbon low-alloy steel molten steel with the temperature of 1600-1650 ℃ into the casting mold, and cooling. The combination effect between the base body and the cast-infiltration layer of the guide plate prepared by the method is good, and the guide plate has high hardness and excellent wear resistance. However, the used ferrovanadium powder and nickel-coated alumina are more and expensive, and in addition, although the nickel-coated alumina can improve the wettability of alumina particles and a matrix, under the condition of a wear working condition, the alumina is still easy to peel off, and the wear resistance is poor.
