Detailed Description
The invention is further described with reference to specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings.
The inventors of the present application have participated in the development of patent applications with the following numbers: CN201710903836.6, name: the scheme is that the low-density high-manganese steel with the high strength-elongation product of more than 50 percent can be prepared by reasonably designing the chemical components of the steel and adopting a corresponding preparation process. However, in actual production, the elongation after fracture of the low-density steel prepared by the scheme is generally lower than 50%, and the product steel has a low product of strength and elongation of a part of steel, especially the elongation after fracture often has a low elongation after fracture, so that the toughness of the steel does not reach the standard, and the processing requirements of products in some markets are not met. Therefore, the inventors of the present application have made extensive experimental observations and summaries, and have proposed the following solutions to this problem.
Low-density steel (density of 6.9-7.2 g/cm)3) The heat treatment process is used for carrying out heat treatment on the low-density steel to improve the mechanical property and the processing property of the low-density steel, and comprises the following steps of:
first, solution treatment
Putting the low-density steel plate subjected to hot rolling into a vacuum heating furnace in a vacuum state, keeping the temperature for 25-35 minutes at 380-420 ℃, then heating the heating furnace to 630-670 ℃ at a heating rate of 190-210 ℃/h, keeping the temperature for 25-35 minutes, then heating to 1050-1150 ℃ at a heating rate of 190-210 ℃/h, keeping the temperature for 2-3 hours, then taking out the steel plate, and cooling to room temperature at a cooling rate of 18-22 ℃/s. A large number of experiments show that the steel plate is sequentially in a plurality of temperature stages for heat preservation and heating, so that austenite grains in the steel plate can grow, a banded ferrite structure is divided into small islands, the content of banded ferrite in a hot rolling structure is reduced, and the transverse mechanical property of the steel plate is improved. In addition, the stepwise heat preservation solution treatment mode effectively promotes the disappearance of carbides, so that the comprehensive mechanical property of the hot rolled steel plate after solution treatment is improved, and the plasticity and the impact toughness of the steel plate are enhanced.
Di, carbide treatment
And (3) putting the low-density steel obtained in the step one into a vacuum heating furnace in a vacuum state, heating to 650-800 ℃, preserving heat for 2-3 hours, taking out, and air-cooling to room temperature. As shown in fig. 1, the equilibrium phase diagram of the internal structure of the low-density steel obtained by the inventor through experiments in the heat treatment at different temperatures shows that the steel is basically composed of austenite and carbide is basically precipitated when the temperature is 650 to 800 ℃, so that the low-density steel is kept at 650 to 800 ℃ for 2 to 3 hours, the grain boundary and the carbide in the steel structure can be effectively eliminated, and the strength and the toughness of the steel are improved.
Thirdly, aging treatment
And (4) heating the low-density steel obtained in the step (II) to 450-550 ℃ in a vacuum heating furnace in a vacuum state, preserving the heat for 9-12 hours, and cooling the steel to room temperature at a cooling speed of 18-22 ℃/s. The step is carried out for a long time of heat preservation in a lower temperature environment, so that the dispersion precipitation of carbide on austenite can be further promoted, and the steel is subjected to dispersion hardening under the condition of not reducing the toughness of the steel, so that the strength of the steel is improved.
It is noted that the chemical components and mass percentages of the low-density steel corresponding to the heat treatment process are as follows: mn: 25-30%; al: 9-10%; c: 0.9-1%; mo: 0.45 to 0.5 percent; s: 0.8-1%; p is less than or equal to 0.003 percent; less than or equal to 0.003 percent of S, and the balance of Fe and inevitable impurities. Aiming at the low-density steel with the components, the heat treatment process can greatly improve the toughness and the strength of the finished steel, and particularly on the point of toughness, the post-fracture elongation of the finished steel after the heat treatment process is obviously improved.
The overall manufacturing method of the above low density steel will be described below.
First, smelting
According to the weight percentage: adding 25-30% of Mn, 9-10% of Al, 0.9-1% of C, 0.45-0.5% of Mo, 0.8-1% of Si, less than or equal to 0.003% of P, less than or equal to 0.003% of S and the balance of Fe into a vacuum induction smelting furnace for smelting, introducing argon into the furnace in the smelting process, and simultaneously adding an additive into molten steel in the smelting process, wherein the temperature of the molten steel is 1500-1700 ℃. The additive is added in an amount of 0.01-0.02% of the molten steel, and comprises the following chemical components in parts by weight: rare earth: 9-11 parts; kaolin: 4-6 parts; biomass: and 2 parts. The addition of the additive into the molten steel reduces the anisotropy of the toughness of the low-density steel, prevents the steel from being torn in a layered mode, and improves the elongation percentage of the steel after fracture. Elements such as Ca, Mg and the like in the additive promote the denaturation of inclusions, and reducing gas generated by the decomposition of biomass in the additive in the smelting process has a good stirring effect on molten steel, promotes the combination of Ca, Mg and the inclusions, improves the effect of Ca and Mg denaturation treatment, and improves the comprehensive performance of low-density steel. In addition, the gas generated by the decomposition of the biomass and the argon gas act together to promote the floating of impurities and impurities, so that the comprehensive performance of the low-density steel is further improved.
Second, casting
Preparing a corresponding mould, laying 2 layers of horse dung paper on the bottom surface of the mould, uniformly paving covering slag on the horse dung paper, pouring molten steel into the mould for casting, wherein the mould temperature of the mould is 9-11% (140-180 ℃) of the molten steel temperature, the superheat degree of the molten steel is controlled to be 20-30 ℃, and the low superheat degree can ensure that the temperature gradient of a two-phase region is small and the time of directional heat transfer is shortened, so that the formation of fine grains is facilitated, the growth of columnar grains is inhibited, the central segregation is reduced, and the performance of a casting blank is improved. The total addition amount of the covering slag is 0.2-0.3% of the mass of the molten steel, and the covering slag comprises the following chemical components in parts by mass: bauxite: 4.5-5.5 parts; dolomite: 18-22 parts; blast furnace slag: 2.5-3.5 parts; cement clinker: 1 part; wollastonite: 1 part. By laying the protecting slag, the content of S + P + O + H + N in molten steel can be controlled to be less than or equal to 100ppm, and the adverse effect of impurity elements on Mn segregation and Al brittleness generation can be reduced. In addition, the covering slag is a slag charge which is covered on the surface of molten steel in the steel ingot mould in the casting process and can maintain normal casting. In addition, the powder slag is adopted as the protective slag, so that the powder slag has good spreading property, can prevent molten steel in the die from being secondarily oxidized, has good slag forming property, forms a very thin slag film between a casting blank and the die, has good heat preservation property, can slow down the thermal stress of the casting blank, and prevents the surface cracks of the casting blank.
In addition, the step is carried out with electromagnetic stirring while casting, wherein the electromagnetic stirring frequency is 5-7 Hz, and the current intensity is 200-400A. The method can break the growing columnar crystal and tail end dendritic crystal, so that the broken and dissociated dendritic crystal can be used as a new nucleation core, the nucleation core of casting blank crystallization is increased, and an equiaxial crystal area at the center of the casting blank is enlarged, thereby obviously improving the compactness of a solidification structure, enhancing the mechanical property of finished steel and improving the product of strength and elongation of the finished steel.
Third, forging

The forging and pressing machine is used for applying pressure to the casting blank to enable the casting blank to generate plastic deformation, the defects of casting state looseness and the like generated in the smelting process of the casting blank are eliminated, the microstructure is optimized, the mechanical property of the forged workpiece is superior to that of a casting made of the same material, and therefore the product of strength and elongation of a final product is improved.
Fourthly, hot rolling
Heating the steel billet obtained in the forging step at 1150 ℃ and at the heating rate of 0.5 ℃/s, preserving heat for 2h, then carrying out first-pass rolling at 1050 ℃ and the rolling parameters are as follows: the deformation rate is 0.006/s, and the reduction is 33%; after the interval of 10s, carrying out second pass rolling, wherein the rolling parameters are as follows: the deformation rate is 0.6/s, and the reduction is 30 percent; after the interval of 10s, carrying out a third rolling, wherein the rolling parameters are as follows: the deformation rate is 4/s, and the reduction is 28 percent; after the interval of 10s, carrying out fourth pass rolling, wherein the rolling parameters are as follows: the deformation rate is 5/s, and the reduction is 25 percent; after the interval of 10s, carrying out fifth-pass rolling, wherein the rolling parameters are as follows: the deformation rate is 6/s, and the reduction is 20 percent; after the interval of 10s, carrying out sixth pass rolling, wherein the rolling parameters are as follows: the deformation rate is 6/s, and the reduction is 16.7%; the finishing temperature is controlled to be 900 ℃. The multi-pass hot rolling can reduce rolling cracks, promote crystallization of a casting blank, inhibit occurrence and segregation of an ordered structure B2 phase and an Fe-Al intermetallic compound, and improve the mechanical property of the casting blank.
Fifth, heat treatment
The heat treatment process of the low-density steel is adopted, and the finished steel is finally obtained.
In conclusion, the preparation method of the low-density steel reasonably and uniquely designs the chemical components of the low-density steel on the basis of the prior art, and simultaneously, the low-density steel is matched with a unique heat treatment process, under the auxiliary action of forging and electromagnetic stirring, the finished low-density steel with the product of strength and elongation larger than 50% is prepared, the preparation success rate is stable, the condition that the product of strength and elongation does not reach the standard rarely occurs, the prepared finished low-density steel is particularly excellent in toughness performance on the basis of ensuring certain strength, and the market requirements of products with strict requirements can be well met.
