Description

Technical Field
The invention discloses steel for an automobile engine cracking connecting rod, belongs to the field of non-quenched and tempered steel, and particularly relates to niobium-vanadium composite reinforced non-quenched and tempered steel for the automobile engine cracking connecting rod.
Background
The connecting rod of the automobile engine is one of five key parts in the automobile engine, and transmits the borne piston pressure to the crankshaft to form a moving part together with the piston. The connecting rod is used as a core stress component of the engine and bears strong alternating load, and the quality of the connecting rod directly influences the performance and the reliability of the engine.
The connecting rod machining mainly comprises two processes of cutting and cracking, the traditional connecting rod machining process is complex, the stability of an engine is affected due to machining precision errors, the problem is well solved by the technology of cracking the connecting rod, the machining procedures are few, and the production cost of the connecting rod is remarkably reduced. The expansion-breaking connecting rod technology has special requirements on materials, namely, on the premise of ensuring comprehensive properties such as toughness and the like, the toughness of the connecting rod is limited, namely, the materials are required not to generate large plastic deformation in the expansion-breaking process, so that a fracture presents proper brittle fracture characteristics, the requirement on the roundness of a large-head hole in the subsequent processing procedure is met, and the cutting performance is good.
At present, a series of non-quenched and tempered steels for cracking connecting rods are developed domestically, and the typical steels include 38MnV, 40MnV, 48MnV, C70, C70S6 and the like. The high-carbon non-quenched and tempered steel C70S6 is widely applied at present, and the C70S6 steel is easy to generate brittle fracture, but still has obvious defects: the yield ratio is low; the fatigue property is lower than that of quenched and tempered steel; the brittle lamellar cementite has high hardness and high content, so that the cutting processability of the steel is poor. In addition, with the development trend of light weight and energy conservation of automobiles, higher requirements are put on the material of the expansion-fracture connecting rod, and the connecting rod material is required to have higher yield ratio so as to fully exert the mechanical property of the material besides ensuring the expansion-fracture performance and the strength.
CN201510332645.X discloses a steel for an automobile engine expansion-fracture connecting rod, wherein the steel for the automobile expansion-fracture connecting rod with high strength, proper brittleness and good cutting processability can be produced by adding 0.15-0.25 wt% of microalloying element V and controlling 0.015-0.025 wt% of N, and other elements are reasonably matched, wherein the strength of the connecting rod is equal to or more than 800MPa, and Rm is equal to or more than 1100 MPa. However, the material has a low yield ratio, and the product performance cannot be effectively utilized, so that the material is not beneficial to light weight.
CN201811175895.7 discloses a non-quenched and tempered steel of a high-strength fractured connecting rod and a continuous casting production process thereof, the strength of a connecting rod material is further improved by adopting titanium-vanadium composite reinforcement, 0.030-0.070 wt% of Ti and 0.25-0.35 wt% of V, and controlling 0.015-0.025% of N, the performance of a connecting rod forging piece can reach Rel not less than 900MPa, Rm not less than 1100MPa, but under the current Ti and N contents, a large-size TiN phase with the diameter of tens of microns can be precipitated in the solidification process, so that the beneficial effect of Ti is reduced, and the fatigue performance of the connecting rod is damaged.
CN201810637610.0 discloses a medium-carbon non-quenched and tempered expansion-broken connecting rod steel and a manufacturing method thereof, wherein the tensile strength Rm of the connecting rod steel can reach 950-1200 MPa, the yield strength is more than or equal to 750MPa, and the yield ratio is more than or equal to 0.73 on the premise of ensuring the expansion-breaking performance of the steel by adding 0.030-0.060% of P, 0.17-0.24% of V and 0.036-0.045% of Nb into the steel. The effect of the P element on the tensile strength of the material is greater than the yield strength, which is not beneficial to the increase of the yield ratio; in addition, the influence of more than 0.20 percent of the V element on the yield ratio is not great, the content of the Nb element in the medium carbon steel reaches more than 0.035 percent, the probability of generating large-particle liquated carbide is increased, the strengthening effect is weakened, the fatigue performance of the product is not facilitated, and in addition, the V, Nb alloy is expensive, so the cost of the product is increased.
CN201410421719.2 discloses free-cutting steel with tensile strength not less than 1200MPa for automobile connecting rods and a production method thereof, the strength of the steel is improved by adding B, the tensile strength is not less than 1200MPa, and the yield strength is not less than 850 MPa; the element B improves the strength of the steel mainly by segregation at grain boundaries, but the ductility of the grain boundary reinforced steel becomes good, which is not beneficial to the increase of the yield ratio of the steel.
CN201510092255.X discloses a high-strength and high-toughness non-quenched and tempered steel suitable for composite forging forming, wherein V is 0.01-0.15%, Nb is 0.005-0.05%, RE is 0.001-0.0075, P is 0.005-0.03%, N is 0.008-0.02%, and Ti is 0.01-0.15%, C content is reduced to 0.25-0.40%, and tensile strength R of a forging ismNot less than 900MPa, yield strength Rp0.2Not less than 750MPa, yield ratio up to 0.85 and above, low strength, difficult rare earth addition in the steel-making process, and difficult floating removal of the generated rare earth oxide, thereby reducing the cleanliness of the steel.
It is known from the above prior art that it is not easy to obtain a material for a connecting rod having a high yield ratio while maintaining high strength. This is because, even if the influence of the elements on the strength is known, the influence of each element on the yield ratio is not clear and there is a different view in the literature. Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the invention is how to obtain the material for the cracking connecting rod with high strength and high yield ratio.
The method aims to obtain the expansion-fracture connecting rod material with low cost, high strength and high yield ratio, and the yield ratio of the material is further improved by reasonably matching C, N, Nb and V elements while ensuring the performances of expansion fracture, strength and the like required by the connecting rod material.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention relates to a non-quenched and tempered steel for a high-strength high-yield ratio automobile cracking connecting rod, which is characterized in that in order to ensure the strength of the steel and further improve the yield ratio, each element is divided reasonably, and the adopted component design scheme is as follows: the strength of the steel is ensured by reasonably selecting basic elements C, Si, Mn, Cr and Ni; microalloying elements of niobium and vanadium are adopted for composite strengthening, the content of the Nb element is not higher than 0.035%, the content of the V element is controlled to be 0.10-0.20%, the partial Nb element is combined with C, N at high temperature to separate out niobium carbonitride, the effects of increasing dislocation and refining grains can be achieved in the rolling process, so that the yield ratio of the steel is improved, and the rest Nb and V are separated out of strengthening soft-phase ferrite in the subsequent phase transformation process and after phase transformation, so that the yield ratio of the steel is further improved; by matching with a proper rolling and cooling control process, the mechanical property Rel of the connecting rod material is more than or equal to 850MPa, Rm is more than or equal to 1000MPa, and Rel/Rm can reach more than 0.84, so that the lightweight of an automobile engine is facilitated.
The invention relates to a high-strength high-yield-ratio non-quenched and tempered steel for a cracking connecting rod of an automobile engine and a production method, which are characterized in that: the steel comprises the following chemical components in percentage by weight: 0.40-0.50% of C, 0.40-0.60% of Si, 1.00-1.30% of Mn, 0.040-0.060% of S, 0.10-0.20% of V, 0.020-0.035% of Nb, 0.10-0.30% of Cr, 0.10-0.30% of Ni, 0.010-0.020% of N, and the balance of Fe and impurity elements.
C 0.40-0.50%
C: carbon is the element which improves the strength and the cost performance of non-quenched and tempered steel, the amount of ferrite is reduced along with the increase of the content of C, the amount of pearlite is increased, the strength and the hardness of the steel are improved along with the reduction of the plasticity, the toughness and the yield ratio of the steel. The C content is limited to be within the range of 0.40-0.50% by comprehensively considering the performance and the cost of the product.
Si 0.40-0.60%
Si: si can be used as a deoxidizing element in low-aluminum steel, and has high solid solubility in iron and strong solid solution strengthening effect. However, too high Si content deteriorates the hot formability of the bar and affects the surface quality of the forged blank. The Si content is limited to 0.40-0.60%.
Mn 1.00-1.30%
Mn: the ferromanganese alloy has low price, and Mn element mainly exists in a solid solution form in steel, so that the ferromanganese alloy has strong solid solution strengthening effect. In addition, for sulfur-containing non-quenched and tempered steel, the Mn element can be combined with S to form manganese sulfide, thereby inhibiting hot brittleness of the steel, improving cutting performance and reducing tool wear. However, since the Mn content is too high, the pearlite amount increases, the yield ratio decreases, and the bainite structure is promoted, the Mn content is limited to 1.00 to 1.30%.
S 0.040-0.060%
In order to improve the cutting performance, a certain content of S is often added into non-quenched and tempered steel and combined with Mn in the steel to form MnS, so that the effect of a stress concentration source is achieved, the chips of the steel are easy to break in the cutting process, and meanwhile, the effect of lubricating a cutter can be achieved, the cutter abrasion is reduced, and the service life of the cutter is prolonged. However, sulfides are easy to deform and deform into strips in the rolling process, so that the mechanical property of the steel presents directionality, and meanwhile, the S element is a strong segregation element, and a segregation enrichment area is not beneficial to the mechanical property of the steel. The range of the S content of the present invention is defined as 0.040-0.060%.
V 0.10%-0.20%
V: the microalloying element V is an important strengthening element in non-quenched and tempered steel, and is combined with C to form a fine and dispersedly distributed carbide second phase strengthened steel matrix, and the strengthening effect of V is obviously influenced by a rolling process. The content of V is increased, the yield ratio of the steel can be effectively improved, but the content is too high, the action trend and saturation of the V are realized, and the price of the V element is high, so that the performance requirement of the steel is comprehensively considered, and the content of V is limited to 0.10-0.20%.
Nb 0.020-0.035%
The bonding capacity of Nb and C is stronger than V, the precipitation temperature is also higher than V, the crystal grain growth can be inhibited at the conventional heating temperature, dislocation can be fixed and the crystal grain can be refined in the rolling process, so that the yield ratio of the material is improved, in addition, partial solid-dissolved Nb is precipitated and strengthened soft-phase ferrite after subsequent phase transformation and phase transformation, and the yield ratio is further improved. However, the Nb element is a strong segregation element, when the Nb content of the medium carbon steel is over 0.035%, the probability of precipitating primary carbide in a liquid phase is increased, the performance of the steel is not promoted, and alloy waste is caused.
Cr 0.10-0.30
Cr is dissolved in a steel matrix in a solid mode, so that the hardenability can be remarkably improved, and the strength of steel is improved; cr is also a carbide forming element, can form carbide second phase particles in steel to strengthen a steel matrix, and can reduce the diffusion rate of C and inhibit the surface decarburization phenomenon in the heat treatment process. However, if the content is too high, bainite and other structures are generated, and the toughness is lowered, and the Cr content is limited to 0.10 to 0.30%.
Ni 0.10-0.30%
Ni is a non-carbide forming element, is mainly dissolved in a steel matrix in a solid solution manner to achieve the effect of solid solution strengthening, and meanwhile, the stability of austenite can be improved, and the hardenability of steel is remarkably improved. Also, too high Ni content more easily causes non-equilibrium structure in the steel, decreasing the toughness of the steel. The Ni content of the present invention is limited to 0.10 to 0.30%.
N 0.010-0.020%
N is an important strengthening element in non-quenched and tempered steel and can be combined with micro-alloying elements Nb and V to form second phase particles, so that on one hand, austenite grain boundaries can be pinned, grain growth is inhibited, and on the other hand, a precipitation strengthening effect is achieved. However, if the N content is too high, it is disadvantageous in steel making, and the cast slab may have bubbles and pores. The content of N in the invention is controlled to be 0.010-0.020%.
The production process of the high-strength high-yield-ratio non-quenched and tempered steel for the automobile engine cracking connecting rod comprises the following steps: electric furnace/converter smelting, LF refining, VD/RH vacuum treatment, continuous casting, slow cooling, inspection, heating by a heating furnace, controlled rolling, cooling, ultrasonic and magnetic flux leakage flaw detection, packaging, weighing and warehousing.
Wherein during electric furnace/converter smelting, the initial smelting end point C is controlled to be more than or equal to 0.08 percent, molten steel is prevented from being oxidized, and slag is strictly forbidden to be discharged; a deoxidizer, an alloy, a recarburizer and slag charge are added in sequence during the tapping process;
during LF refining, component fine adjustment is carried out, the reducing atmosphere in the furnace is kept, the alkalinity of furnace slag is controlled to be 2.0-3.0, argon is blown from the bottom to stir, the temperature and the components are uniform, non-metallic inclusions in steel are promoted to float upwards and be removed, and the purity of molten steel is ensured; and controlling the Mn content at the LF end point, and reserving proper allowance for adjusting the Mn and N contents after vacuum.
