High strength, high elongation, high reduction of area and high fatigue resistance are trends in the development of spring steels in the future.
Moreover, the demand for heat-resistant spring steel which can simultaneously bear high-temperature and high-pressure special use conditions is increasing, and the demand is also increasing. Therefore, the research and development of the heat-resistant high-strength high-toughness spring steel are beneficial to improving the self-supporting capacity of high-end equipment parts in China and improving the current situation that high-grade spring steel still needs to be imported in China.

Meq=[C]-(0.10[Cr]+0.20[V]+0.03[Nb]+0.05[W]+0.08[Mo])(1)

According to the production method of the heat-resistant high-strength high-toughness spring steel, the temperature of each stage is controlled when the steel is subjected to heat treatment, so that the spring steel can achieve the best performance after the heat treatment. Through quenching and high-temperature tempering of steel, the heat treatment microstructure of the steel is fine zone oriented tempered troostite and a large amount of dispersed short rod-shaped or spherical fine carbides, the austenite grain size is more than or equal to 11 grade, the grain size is 20-25 mu m, and the average grain size of the carbides is 0.020-0.040 mu m. The spring steel has the following mechanical properties at normal temperature after heat treatment: the tensile strength is more than or equal to 1850MPa, the elongation after fracture is more than or equal to 10 percent, the reduction of area is more than or equal to 40 percent, the fatigue strength is more than or equal to 860MPa, and the fatigue life is more than or equal to 1000 ten thousand times under the condition of 850MPa cyclic stress; vertical impact absorption energy KV at normal temperature2Not less than 100J, high strength and good toughness; the tensile strength is more than or equal to 800MPa at the high-temperature mechanical property of 500 ℃, and the high-temperature heat-resistant steel has good strength, toughness and heat resistance.
The spring steel comprises the following chemical components in percentage by weight: 0.30 to 0.50 percent of C, 1.30 to 1.80 percent of Si, 0.80 to 1.00 percent of Mn, 0.10 to 0.30 percent of Cr, 0.10 to 0.30 percent of V, 0.02 to 0.04 percent of Nb, 0.10 to 0.30 percent of Mo, 0.60 to 1.20 percent of W, 0.015 percent of trace of P, 0.010 percent of trace of S and the balance of iron and other impurities. And the content of O is controlled to be less than or equal to 0.0012 percent and the content of N is controlled to be less than or equal to 0.006 percent. Meanwhile, the chemical component proportion needs to be ensured to satisfy the relation:

Wherein, each element has the following functions:
c: c is the most effective reinforcing element in steel, is an important element for ensuring the fire hardness and wear resistance in spring steel, and is necessary for obtaining spring steel having high strength and hardness. The high carbon content is advantageous for strength, hardness, elasticity, and creep properties of the steel, but is disadvantageous for plasticity and toughness of the steel, and also causes a decrease in yield ratio of the spring steel, an increase in decarburization sensitivity, and deterioration in fatigue resistance and workability of the steel.
Si: si is an important element for strengthening in steel, and the strong hardness of the steel is improved through the solid solution effect, and meanwhile, the sag resistance of the spring steel is improved. Silicon can improve the stability of the rust layer and the corrosion resistance. However, the increase of the Si element increases the diffusion of carbon in the steel, and thus the decarburization of the steel is promoted.
Mn: mn and Fe form a solid solution, so that the hardness and strength of ferrite and austenite in the steel are improved, and meanwhile, Mn is used for improving the stability of an austenite structure and remarkably improving the hardenability of the steel. However, excessive Mn lowers the plasticity of the steel. The addition of Mn is simultaneously beneficial to forming a rust layer on the surface of the steel and improving the corrosion resistance of the steel, but excessive Mn can cause the growth of corrosion product particles and improve the corrosion rate.
Cr: cr and C can form a stable compound, prevent segregation of C or impurities, improve the stability of a matrix, obviously improve the antioxidation of steel and increase the corrosion resistance of the steel. Chromium can significantly increase the hardenability of the steel, but excess Cr increases the temper brittleness tendency of the steel.
V: v is an excellent deoxidizer of steel, vanadium is added into the steel to refine structure grains and improve the strength and the toughness, and the V element can improve the tempering resistance of the steel, and vanadium carbonitride precipitated during tempering at higher temperature can produce secondary hardening to further improve the strength of the steel.
Nb: nb is a microalloying element for refining grains very effectively, and the Nb in steel has the characteristic of improving the recrystallization temperature of austenite so as to achieve the purpose of refining austenite grains. The addition of Nb promotes the generation of a stable rust layer, and obviously reduces the corrosion rate. However, the strengthening effect of excess Nb is no longer significant and increases the crack sensitivity of the steel.
Mo: mo is a stronger carbide forming element, can improve the strength and hardness of steel, can also obviously improve the high-temperature strength, and is the most effective alloy element for improving the heat strength of the steel. In addition, Mo element can improve the hardenability and the tempering stability of the steel, effectively eliminate or reduce the residual stress therein and improve the plasticity thereof. The addition of Mo to spring steel improves the resistance to springing, since Mo can form finely dispersed carbides that prevent dislocation motion. The addition of Mo also reduces the incidence of pitting, but too much Mo content increases the deformation resistance and the inter-granular corrosion tendency.
W: high temperature resistance, which is a solid solution formed by partially dissolving iron in steel in addition to carbide, can improve the normal temperature strength and high temperature strength of steel, increase the tempering stability, red hardness, hot strength and wear resistance, but excessive W can reduce the toughness and high temperature oxidation resistance of steel.
S and P: the sulfur is easy to form MnS inclusion with manganese in the steel, and is unfavorable for the fatigue property of the spring; p is an element with a strong segregation tendency and usually also causes co-segregation of sulphur and manganese, which is detrimental to the homogeneity of the product structure and properties. P is controlled to be less than or equal to 0.015 percent, and S is controlled to be less than or equal to 0.010 percent.
When the spring steel is smelted, O and N are impurities in the spring steel, and the content of the impurities needs to be controlled: o forms oxide inclusions in the steel, and the content of O is controlled to be less than or equal to 0.0012%; n precipitation of Fe in steel4N is low in diffusion speed, so that the steel has timeliness, and simultaneously, the cold processing performance of the steel is reduced by the N, and the N is controlled to be less than or equal to 0.006%.
For a further understanding of the invention, reference should be made to the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples.
Example 1
The specific production process flow of the spring steel of the embodiment is as follows: electric arc furnace smelting → LF furnace refining → RH or VD vacuum degassing → round billet continuous casting → square billet rolling → finishing and skimming → high-speed wire rod rolling → stelmor cooling line slow cooling → phi 6.5-25 mm wire rod finished product → rod quenching and tempering.
When the high-speed wire rod is rolled, the heating temperature of the high-speed wire rod heating furnace is 980-1050 ℃, and preferably 1000-1030 ℃. The furnace time of the square billet is less than or equal to 120min, preferably 100 min. When the wire rod is rolled, the initial rolling temperature is 880-980 ℃, and preferably 900-920 ℃; the finishing temperature is 750-830 ℃, preferably 780-810 ℃; the spinning temperature is 830-860 ℃, and preferably 840-850 ℃.
The wire rod rolling adopts high-speed, no-twist and low-tension rolling, the heating temperature of a billet is controlled to be less than or equal to 1050 ℃ during rolling, and the billet quickly passes through a low-temperature full-decarburization sensitive area at 800-900 ℃.
