Background
Compared with the traditional automobile, the electric automobile cancels systems such as an engine, a clutch, a speed changer, exhaust and the like, adopts a brand-new electric driving mode, and is a new environment for serving parts: high speed and large torque, the data shows that the rotating speed and the torque of the motor exceed 3 times of those of the traditional automobile engine, and the service environment of parts is severer.
Along with the rapid rise of the manufacturing industry in China, particularly the vigorous development of the automobile industry in China, China has become the first world of gear manufacturing, and the continuous development of the gear industry greatly drives the demand of gear steel. The application range of the gear steel is wide, the gear steel is used in vehicles manufacturing industries such as cars, trucks, passenger cars, agricultural vehicles, motorcycles and the like, and is also used in railways, ships and engineering machinery, so that the gear steel is a core component manufacturing material for ensuring safety.
The gear is a precise mechanical part, generally needs to be forged and machined into teeth and then carburized and quenched, and the manufacturing and assembling precision of the gear has great influence on vibration, noise and the service life of gear teeth. When the gear works, the gear is affected by various stresses such as impact force, contact stress, pulsating bending stress, friction force and the like of variable load for a long time, and is also affected by various factors such as machining precision, assembly precision, grinding of external hard particles and the like, and is a part which is easy to damage, so that the gear steel for manufacturing the gear is required to have higher obdurability, fatigue strength and wear resistance.
At present, gear steel is mainly medium-low carbon alloy steel, in order to improve the strength, hardness and wear resistance of teeth, formed gear parts need to be subjected to quenching and tempering treatment (high-temperature carburization and quenching), the process flow is long, the energy consumption is high (data shows that the gear quenching and tempering process cost accounts for more than 30% of the part processing cost), heat treatment process parameters (heating temperature, time, carburizing process and other factors) directly influence the performance of the gears, and the controlled deformation (the martensite is formed by quenching and the volume expansion causes macroscopic deformation) is difficult to control in the heat treatment, so that the quality of the gears is further restricted. Therefore, there is an increasing demand for more excellent, less expensive, and environmentally friendly gear steels.
In recent years, new bright spots appear in the development of high-performance steel, and the most revolutionary discovery is the carbide-free bainite steel (also called super bainite steel, nano bainite steel and the like) discovered by Bhadeshia et al in 2004, the structure of the carbide-free bainite steel consists of slender bainite ferrite and carbon-rich film-shaped residual austenite in an alternating mode, the ferrite in the bainite structure and a parent phase are in a semi-coherent relationship, and the high strength of the steel is determined by the fine grain structure brought by low-temperature transformation, the fine structure in the ferrite and high-density dislocation; the residual austenite belongs to a face-centered cubic structure, has a plurality of sliding systems, can relieve stress concentration, belongs to a soft phase, and obviously improves the toughness of the carbide-free bainite steel.
The prior art searches and analyzes: the gear steel is mainly fixed in GB/T3077, GB/T5216 or AISI, EN and other standards or subjected to component fine adjustment, and the hot-rolled structure of the gear steel is as follows: ferrite + pearlite; tissue after tempering: the tempered martensite contains usually 0.15 to 0.50% of C and contains a certain amount of Cr, Ni, Mo, V, W, etc. The Chinese patent publication No. CN106967931 discloses 20Cr2Ni4 gear steel and a production process thereof, wherein the mass percentage of Mo is adjusted to 0.15-0.30% on the basis of traditional components so as to meet the requirements of users on hardenability, grain size, heat strength and the like. The Chinese patent with publication number CN100569983 discloses a preparation method of Cr-Mn-Ti gear steel, and in consideration of the angle of ensuring the strength and the fatigue limit of the gear steel, the patent regulates the Ti content in the traditional 20 CrMnTiH% to be down-regulated to 0.01-0.038%. Chinese patent publication No. CN109972024 discloses a steel for a gear steel bar, a preparation method thereof and a preparation method of the steel bar, and the steel bar comprises the following chemical components: 0.17 to 0.24 percent of C, 0.85 to 1.07 percent of Mn, 0.19 to 0.30 percent of Si, 0.98 to 1.10 percent of Cr, 0.05 to 0.10 percent of Mo, 0.15 to 0.25 percent of Ni, 0.01 to 0.05 percent of Al, less than or equal to 0.02 percent of P and less than or equal to 0.02 percent of S.

The invention Al: 3.1 to 3.9 wt%.
P, S: phosphorus and sulfur are harmful elements in the steel, phosphorus is easy to produce cold brittleness, sulfur is easy to produce hot brittleness, and further the processing conditions of steel wire drawing and heat treatment are deteriorated, so the content of the phosphorus and the sulfur needs to be reduced as much as possible. The invention has P less than or equal to 0.01 wt% and S less than or equal to 0.01 wt%.
Mo: the bainite area is enlarged, the bainite structure is favorably obtained, the mechanical property of the gear steel can be improved, but Mo belongs to a noble metal, and the use cost is higher, so that the comprehensive consideration of Mo: 0.1 to 0.14 wt%.
Cr: the austenite matrix is strengthened, the hardenability and the uniformity are improved, the high-temperature creep resistance of the gear is improved, and the Cr: 0.7 to 0.9 wt%.
Nb: nb has a promoting effect on carbide-free bainite transformation and can significantly refine grains during hot rolling dynamic recrystallization, but excessive Nb can cause NbCN coarse particles, lose the effect of refining grains and be harmful to the fatigue life of the gear steel. The invention Nb: 0.05 to 0.07wt percent.
Rolling process (at 850-950 deg.C for 3-6S-1The final rolling temperature is less than or equal to 850 ℃ when the final rolling of 10% of deformation is carried out; after rolling, placing the finished product in a slow cooling pit, wherein slow cooling is more than or equal to 24 h): the transformation of carbide-free bainite can be accelerated according to low temperature and small deformationAnd the transformation time of the carbide-free bainite is obviously shortened, so that the carbide-free bainite structure with the lath width of about 200nm is obtained to improve the toughness.
