Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to a few preferred embodiments thereof as illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the several specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention, but it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without some or all of these specific details; in some instances, well known process steps have not been described in detail in order to not unnecessarily obscure the present invention.
Zero heat preservation time:
the concept of the heat preservation time is as follows: when the steel is subjected to heat treatment, the steel stays in a heating field with a process specified temperature for a certain time; the heat preservation time comprises the following steps:
(1) heating the steel surface to the process temperature for the required time;
(2) at the moment of the thorough-roasting time when the surface of the steel is heated to the process temperature, the temperature difference between the surface and the core is less than 10 percent of the surface temperature, namely the surface temperature of which the core temperature is more than 90 percent, which represents that the whole steel reaches the process temperature without prolonging the thorough-roasting time;
(3) the heating temperature of the isothermal spheroidizing annealing of the steel for finishing the structure transformation time exceeds Ac1After finishing the process, the structure transformation of the steel, namely the austenitizing of pearlite, is finished without heat preservation;
from (2) and (3): when the isothermal spheroidizing annealing of the steel is heated, the through-burning time and the austenite homogenization time in the heat preservation time are removed, and only the time from surface heating to process temperature, namely the zero heat preservation time, in which the surface temperature is the required heating temperature, and the temperature difference between the surface and the core is less than 10 percent of the surface temperature, namely the time from the core temperature to the required heating temperature of more than 90 percent, is reserved, so that the heating and heat preservation time and period are shortened, the construction period is advanced, and on the premise of obtaining the expected structure and performance, energy and resources are saved, and the cost is reduced; the steel has short retention time at high temperature, austenite grains are not grown in time, and the grains are refined.
The isothermal spheroidizing annealing of the steel comprises the following steps: by adopting the cooling mode of the isothermal (constant temperature) transformation method, the organization transformation of the steel, namely the spheroidization of carbide is fully completed in the isothermal (constant temperature transformation) process, the spheroidized organization and the performance are uniform and consistent to reach the standard, the cutting performance is improved, the cold deformation forming is smoothly carried out, the organization preparation is made for the final quenching, the quenching performance is improved, the quenching defect is reduced, and the production period is shorter than that of other spheroidizing annealing methods.
As shown in fig. 1, the present invention is realized by the following method:
the heating speed is caused by the energy difference between a heating temperature field and the surface of the steel, and the heating speed with large energy difference is high; conversely, the rule of slow heating rate, in the austenitizing process of the steel, the heating rate is increased by increasing the heating temperature, i.e. the rapid heating temperature is higher than the required heating temperature, as shown in table 1; thereby shortening the heating time and period, advancing the construction period, saving energy and resources and reducing the cost; this is due to:
(1) for steel with the same diameter and the same grade, the heating speed of high temperature of the heating temperature field is greater than the heating speed of low temperature;
TABLE 1 time to temperature of 45 steel surfaces and cores heated in box furnaces of different diameters
Figure BSA0000217010180000071
From table 1, the surface s and the core c of 45 steel with the same diameter are heated to the same temperature by a box furnace at different temperatures, and the following are obtained: the heating time of 700 ℃ is more than 840 ℃ and the heating time of 920 ℃ is more than
Examples are: looking up a table 1, the diameter phi 80mm of the 45 steel is heated at the three temperatures, and the corresponding temperature time of the surface s and the core c is as follows:
heating at 700 deg.C for s-62min, c-64min > 840 deg.C for s-50min, c-52min > 920 deg.C for s-38min, and c-40min
Thus: heating speed of 920 ℃ and more than 840 ℃ and heating speed of 700 DEG C
(2) The internal part of the material is the change from high energy to low energy, and the heating of the steel in the heating temperature field is the process from the high energy of the heating temperature field to the low energy of the steel;
the steel is heated in a heating temperature field, wherein high energy of the heating temperature field is firstly transferred to the surface of the low-energy steel, and the high energy is formed on the surface of the steel and then transferred to the core part of the low energy from the high energy on the surface of the steel; the temperature of the heating temperature field is increased, namely the energy of the heating temperature field is increased, and the energy difference between the heating temperature field and the steel surface is increased, so that the heating speed is increased;
just like a hydroelectric power station, a barrage is built, the potential energy of water is improved, namely the energy of the water is increased, then the gate is opened to generate electricity, the potential energy of the water is converted into kinetic energy, and the flow speed is accelerated;
(3) as long as the rapid heating temperature and the heat preservation time are controlled, the surface s temperature of the steel is the required heating temperature, and the core c temperature is more than 90 percent of the required heating temperature, the rapid heating can not cause overheating; see table 2;
TABLE 2 temperature variation for heating 45 steel with 200mm section in a box furnace
Figure BSA0000217010180000081
Note: delta T is the difference between the surface s temperature and the core c temperature
The thorough burning time of the steel is influenced by the heating coefficient and is determined by the size of the steel part;
from Table 2, the temperature change of the section of 45 steel heated in a box furnace within 200mm of phi for the rated time is obtained: surface s temperature > 1/3R temperature > 2/3R temperature > core c temperature
Examples are: cold work die steel Cr4W2MoV steel Ac1760 ℃ and the heating temperature T required by isothermal spheroidizing annealingSJTable 2 is looked up for (780-790) DEG C, when the surface s temperature of the steel (without considering the influence of the heating coefficient k) is 784 ℃, the core c temperature is 737 ℃, the temperature difference Delta T between the surface s temperature and the core c temperature is 47 ℃, and the core c temperature is 94 percent of the required heating temperature TSJI.e. > 90% of the required heating temperature TSJAt the moment, the zero heating and heat preservation time is 85min, and as long as the zero heating and heat preservation time is controlled to be 85min, the cold-work die steel Cr4W2MoV with the diameter of 200mm can not be overheated;
the super-cooled austenite stability characteristics of the steel are as follows:
(1) the relation between the supercooled austenite and the supercooling degree of the steel, namely the supercooled austenite isothermal transformation curve is similar to the shape of the C curve, and the directions are opposite, so that the supercooled austenite isothermal transformation curve has the characteristic of the C curve; as shown in FIG. 2;
(2) the transformation speed of the supercooled austenite is related to the nucleation rate and the growth speed, and the nucleation rate and the growth speed depend on the supercooling degree;
1) when the supercooling degree is small, Δ G is driven due to phase changeVSmaller, slower transition speeds;
2) as the supercooling degree increases, the phase change driving force Δ GVIncreasing, the atomic diffusion coefficient D decreases;
3) the transition speed being driven by the phase change driving force deltag before the temperature falls to a certain valueVControlling, increasing with increasing supercooling degree; then, the transformation speed is controlled by the atomic diffusion coefficient D and is reduced along with the increase of the supercooling degree;
4) phase (C)Variable driving force Δ GVAnd the atomic diffusion coefficient D, resulting in the transition temperature at the nose tip temperature TPNearby, the transition speed reaches a maximum value;
the performance of the steel finally depends on the structure after the austenite cooling transformation, and the characteristics of 'supercooled austenite stability of the steel' are applied, so that technical support is provided for the charging mode of isothermal spheroidizing annealing, the cooling method after austenitizing, and the control of the supercooling degree, the cooling speed, the cooling uniformity and the cooling efficiency;
1. in the austenitizing process of the isothermal spheroidizing annealing of the steel, the steel is put into a furnace at a low temperature, and after the steel is loaded into the furnace in a stacking mode which is favorable for heat circulation, uniform diathermy of heating and cooling sections and thorough cooling to the required temperature, the heating speed is increased by increasing the heating temperature, and rapid heating is realized; starting to heat up along with the furnace from the point O and controlling the heating speed until the point A is higher than the required heating temperature TSJThe rapid heating temperature AB is entered for rapid heating, and the rapid heating temperature AB and the heat preservation time A are controlled1B1(ii) a After rapid heating and heat preservation, stopping heat supply from the point B, and cooling to the point C along with the furnace to obtain the required heating temperature TSJStarting to supply heat, entering the required heating temperature CD for heating, and controlling the required heating temperature CD and the heat preservation time C1D1(ii) a After austenitizing the steel, stopping heat supply from a point D, cooling along with the furnace and controlling the cooling speed, wherein the temperature is isothermal when the temperature is cooled to a point EDWStarting heat supply, entering isothermal temperature EF for isothermal maintenance, and controlling the isothermal temperature EF and the isothermal time E1F1(ii) a After the steel is kept isothermally, stopping heat supply from a point F, cooling along with the furnace and controlling the cooling speed until a point G is the nose tip temperature T of the C curvePOpening the furnace door (cover) at the temperature of minus 20-60 ℃; the nose tip temperature T of a C curve is obtained when the furnace is cooled to a point HP- (180-220) DEG C, discharging from the furnace, and air-cooling to room temperature J point;

1) the heating time and period are shortened, the construction period is advanced, energy and resources are saved, and the cost is reduced;
2) fine austenite grains are obtained; this is due to:
firstly, the steel has certain heating temperature, high heating speed and large superheat degree, austenite is formed at higher temperature, the number of formed cores is large, and the initial austenite crystal grains are small;
secondly, the heating speed is improved, and the heating time is shortened, namely the high-temperature retention time is short, and austenite grains are not grown in time;

ii) when the heating temperature is 840 ℃, the heating temperature is too high (Ac > C)3(818 ℃ C.), the surface has serious oxidation and decarburization phenomena and black tissues; heating at the temperature to completely austenitize the structure, completely dissolving carbide in austenite, so that the carbide core without non-spontaneous nucleation in the subsequent isothermal and slow cooling process is supplied with carbon atoms for diffusion and growth, and coarse lamellar pearlite and ferrite are generated from the austenite directly in the slow decomposition process; as shown in FIG. 9; the strength and the hardness are higher, the plasticity is reduced, and the cold deformation resistance is large;

3. The isothermal hold of the steel is:
the method comprises the following steps of (I) austenitizing the isothermal spheroidizing annealing of steel, then keeping the steel isothermal, controlling the cooling speed, the cooling uniformity, the cooling efficiency, the supercooling degree, the isothermal temperature and the isothermal time from austenitizing to isothermal temperature, and providing conditions for fully transforming carbide spheroidized tissues so as to obtain the expected uniform spheroidized tissues and reach the performance standard;
secondly, after austenitizing the isothermal spheroidizing annealing of the steel, stopping heat supply from a point D, cooling along with the furnace, uniformly and thoroughly cooling the section to a point E, wherein the cooling speed DE is (40-60) DEG C/h;
(III) the section of the isothermal spheroidizing annealing of the steel is uniformly and thoroughly cooled to the point E which is the isothermal temperature TDWStarting to supply heat, and entering an isothermal temperature EF for isothermal maintenance;
isothermal temperature EF of the steel being TDWThe transformation from super-cooled austenite to pearlite is shown in curve C1Line to nose tip temperature TPIn the temperature range of isothermal maintenance, i.e. A1>TDW>TP(ii) a And the condition that supercooled austenite is directly transformed into spherical pearlite is that the supercooling degree is smaller at a curve A of C1Higher temperature isothermal hold below line, due to A1>Ac1>Ar1I.e. slightly below Ac1Temperature, form a large number of cementite crystal nuclei dispersed uniformly in austenite grains, avoid in Ar1The following temperature is kept isothermally for a long time to prevent coarse cementite from appearing on the grain boundary of the prior precipitation ferrite or wide strip ferrite from appearing around the prior precipitation cementite; the isothermal temperature EF of the steel is therefore:
A1>Ac1>TDW>TPand A is1>Ac1>TDW>Ar1
I.e. EF ═ TDW=Ac1-(20~40)℃
This is because the isothermal temperature of the steel is low, the supercooling degree is large, and the transition temperature is at the nose tip temperature T of the supercooled austenite isothermal transition curvePAbove, phase transition driving force Δ GVLarge, the conversion speed is fast; otherwise, the transition speed is slow; isothermal transformation from supercooled austenite to globular pearlite is at curve C1Line to nose tip temperature TPIn a temperature range of between, i.e. at A1>TDW>TPWithin a temperature range and with a small supercooling degree in curve C1The transformation is carried out under the condition of keeping the temperature below the line at a higher temperature and keeping the temperature isothermally; the isothermal temperature of the steel is thus Ac1-(20~40)℃;
(1) The isothermal temperatures EF of eutectoid, hypereutectoid and alloy tool steels are:
EF=TDW=Ac1-(20~40)℃
examples are:
1) GCr15 Steel A1At 750 ℃ Ac1At 745 ℃ Ar1At 700 ℃ C, TPThe temperature of the reaction kettle is 600 ℃,
EF=TDW=Ac1-(20~40)=745-(20~40)=745-20~745-40
=(705~725)℃
the isothermal temperature EF of the GCr15 steel is (705-725) DEG C;
2) isothermal temperature T of GCr15 Steel of the prior artDWComprises the following steps: ar (Ar)1-(20~30)
TDW=Ar1-(20~30)=700-(20~30)=700-20~700-30
=(670~680)℃
In the prior art, the isothermal temperature of GCr15 steel is 670-680 ℃;
this is due to this isothermal temperature TDWAlthough the temperature is higher than the nose tip temperature T of the C curvePBut less than Ar1Temperature, isothermal temperature TDWThe lower is caused by:
the supercooling degree is high, carbon and alloy elements are difficult to diffuse in austenite, a large amount of uniformly dispersed cementite crystal nuclei cannot be formed in austenite crystal grains, and the spheroidization process is not facilitated;
secondly, increasing supercooling degree during isothermal transformation; as the nucleation rate of precipitated carbide is increased along with the increase of supercooling degree during the austenite decomposition, most of carbon atoms are point-like carbides except for the carbide which is not dissolved during the heating and grows up, which is not beneficial to the spheroidization process;
the supercooling degree is large, so that a spontaneous core for carbide spheroidization cannot be formed in austenite grains, and the spheroidization process is not facilitated;
fourthly, in Ar1Isothermal maintenance at a temperature of Ar1The long-term heat preservation at the following temperature causes the wide periphery of the first-precipitation cementiteThe nodulizing structure and the performance of the strip ferrite are not uniform;
producing poor spheroidization tissue with high hardness;
in the prior art, the GCr15 steel has low isothermal temperature and high hardness after isothermal spheroidizing annealing, so that the difficulty of cutting processing is increased; poor spheroidized structure is generated, the structure preparation can not be carried out for the final quenching, uniform quenching structure can not be obtained, the performance of the quenched steel is reduced, and the quenching defect is increased;
(2) the isothermal temperature of the low-carbon steel and the low-carbon low-alloy steel formed by cold extrusion is as follows:
EF=TDW=Ac1-(20~35)℃
examples are:
1)20CrMo Steel A1Ac at 755 deg.C1At 743 ℃ Ar1At 504 ℃ and TPAt 700 ℃ is then
EF=TDW=Ac1-(20~35)=743-(20~35)=743-20~743-35
=(708~723)℃

TDW=Ar1- (20-30) DEG C, wherein the isothermal temperature T of the 20CrMo steelDWAt 640 ℃;
TDW=Ar1-(20~30)=504-(20~30)=504-20~504-30
=(474~484)℃
isothermal temperature T of low-carbon low-alloy steel 20CrMo steel formed by cold extrusion in prior artDWAt an isothermal temperature T of (474-484) ° CDWLess than Ar1Temperature, and less than C curve nose tip temperature TP(700 ℃), which does not belong to the constant temperature transformation of the isothermal cooling mode pearlite after austenitizing;
due to the isothermal temperature T of the 20CrMo steel in the prior artDWIs (474-484) DEG C, does not belong to isothermal (constant temperature transformation) spheroidizing annealing after austenitizing, and therefore, the isothermal temperature T of 20CrMo steel is adopted in the prior artDWAdjusting the temperature to 640 ℃; this isothermal temperature TDWStill less than the nose tip temperature T of the C curveP(700 ℃), which does not belong to the isothermal cooling mode after austenitizing to generate the constant temperature transformation of pearlite, but belongs to the continuous cooling mode after austenitizing to obtain mixed tissues with uneven thickness or different types along with the transformation of continuous change of supercooling degree in a temperature range; as shown in FIG. 10; similar to ordinary spheroidizing annealing, the steel is heated to slightly above Ac1Slowly cooling to 500-600 ℃ after austenitizing, discharging and air cooling;
this is due to the isothermal transformation from supercooled austenite to globular pearlite at curve C A1Line to nose tip temperature TPIn a temperature range of between, i.e. at A1>TDW>TPAnd at a lower supercooling degree in curve C1The transformation is carried out under the condition of keeping the temperature below the line at a higher temperature and keeping the temperature isothermally;
the isothermal temperature of 20CrMo steel in the prior art is Ar1Carrying out isothermal (constant temperature transformation) spheroidizing annealing at the temperature of minus 20-30 ℃ or 640 ℃, wherein the temperature does not belong to pearlite, and obtaining mixed tissues with uneven thickness or different types; no tissue preparation for final quenching; the strength and the hardness are higher, the plasticity is reduced, and the cold deformation resistance number deformation hardening index is increased, so that cold deformation forming failure is caused;
isothermal spheroidizing annealing isothermal time E of steel1F1The time required for finishing the structure transformation, namely spheroidization, and the time for uniformly and thoroughly cooling the section to the isothermal temperature; isothermal time E1F1Is (4-6) h; this is due to: (ii) a
(1) Isothermal time E1F1Short, complete the structure transformation-insufficient spheroidization and high hardness;
(2) isothermal time E1F1Long time, waste of energy and resources, and in Ar1Keeping the temperature for a long time, wherein abnormal structures, namely eutectoid steel, hypereutectoid steel and alloy tool steel, appear wide strip-shaped ferrite around the first precipitated cementite, and coarse cementite appears on the grain boundary of the first precipitated ferrite in the cold extrusion formed low-carbon steel and low-carbon low-alloy steel;
(3) isothermal time E1F1Is (4-6) h; after austenitizing the steel, cooling the steel along with the furnace, wherein the cooling speed DE is (40-60) DEG C/h;
1) when the cooling speed DE is 60 ℃/h at the upper limit and the isothermal time E1F1Is 6 h;
2) when the cooling speed DE is 50 ℃/h at the middle limit and the isothermal time E1F1Is 5 h;
3) when the cooling speed DE is lower limit 40 ℃/h, isothermal time E1F1Is 4 h;
4. the controlled cooling of the steel is as follows:
firstly, the isothermal spheroidizing annealing of the steel utilizes the characteristic of 'the stability of undercooled austenite of the steel' to carry out controlled cooling after austenitizing,
the supercooled austenite stability characteristics of the steel are:
(1) the supercooling austenite isothermal transformation curve is similar to the shape of the C curve, and the direction is opposite, so that the supercooling austenite isothermal transformation curve has the characteristic of the C curve; as shown in FIG. 2;
(2) the transformation speed of the supercooled austenite is related to the nucleation rate and the growth speed, and the nucleation rate and the growth speed depend on the supercooling degree;
the transformation temperature of the super-cooled austenite of the steel is at the nose tip temperature T of the super-cooled austenite isothermal transformation curvePNear, phase transition driving force Δ GVThe transformation speed reaches a maximum value as a result of the combined action of two factors of the atomic diffusion coefficient D; transition temperature at the nose tip temperature T of super-cooled austenite isothermal transition curvePAbove, the transition speed is driven by the phase change driving force Δ GVControlling, namely increasing along with the increase of the supercooling degree in a proportional relation; transition temperature at the nose tip temperature T of super-cooled austenite isothermal transition curvePThe transformation speed is controlled by the atomic diffusion coefficient D, and is reduced along with the increase of the supercooling degree, and the transformation speed is in inverse proportion relation;
the supercooled austenite stability characteristic of the steel provides technical support for a charging mode of isothermal spheroidizing annealing, a cooling method after austenitizing, and control of supercooling degree, cooling speed, cooling uniformity and cooling efficiency, so as to obtain expected uniform spheroidized tissues and provide conditions for reaching the performance standard;
secondly, in the austenitizing process of the isothermal spheroidizing annealing of the steel, the steel is charged in a stacking mode which is favorable for heat circulation, uniform diathermy of heating and cooling sections and thorough cooling to the required temperature respectively;
(III) after the isothermal spheroidizing annealing of the steel is quickly heated and preserved, stopping heat supply from the point B, cooling along with the furnace, uniformly and thoroughly cooling the section to the point C which is the required heating temperature TSJHeating, and heating at the required heating temperature CD;
after austenitizing the isothermal spheroidizing annealing of the steel, stopping heat supply at a point D, cooling along with the furnace, uniformly and thoroughly cooling the section to an isothermal temperature T at a point EDWThe general rule of the influence of the cooling speed on the structure and the performance of the steel after the isothermal spheroidizing annealing is as follows: the cooling speed is high, and the austenite decomposition temperature is low, so that the pearlite transformation product is fine, the stress is large, and the hardness is high; if the cooling rate is too slow, coarse cementite can appear on the proeutectoid ferrite grain boundary or ferrite strips can appear around the proeutectoid cementite to form net ferrite or cementite; in order to achieve the expected standard of tissue and performance, the cooling speed DE is (40-60) DEG C/h;
this is due to the fact that the transition temperature is at the nose tip temperature T of the supercooled austenite isothermal transition curve before the temperature of the steel is reduced to the isothermal temperaturePThe cooling speed is high, the supercooling degree is large, and the phase change driving force delta G is realizedVLarge, the conversion speed is fast; otherwise, the transition speed is slow; therefore, the cooling speed is (40-60) DEG C/h; as shown in FIG. 2;
