Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of die forged steel manufacturing, and particularly relates to a die forged steel base material, a die forged steel base, a sandwich layer forging die and a preparation method thereof, wherein the die forged steel base material is used for preparing a large hot forging die high-strength die under a high-temperature heavy-load condition.
Background
With the development of the national heavy equipment manufacturing industry, the equipment manufacturing industry such as aircraft and ship manufacturing needs to be rapidly improved. The largest large die forging hydraulic machine (8 ten thousand ton press) in the world is produced, and the large hot forging dies (the weight of a single set of the dies reaches 60-100 tons) used by the large die forging hydraulic machine are widely applied to the production and the manufacture of large die forgings in the fields of aviation, aerospace, nuclear power, petrochemical industry and the like, such as a large aircraft fuselage frame, an undercarriage, an engine turbine disc, a large cylinder body, a pump body and the like, wherein the forging materials of the forgings mainly comprise aluminum alloy, high-temperature alloy, titanium alloy and the like. However, the initial forging temperature of large forgings made of materials difficult to deform (such as high-temperature alloy, titanium alloy, ultrahigh-strength steel and the like) is high, the strength and hardness of the die are rapidly reduced due to the fact that the contact time of the forgings and the die is long in the forging forming process, the bearing pressure of the die is high, and the temperature is rapidly increased to be more than 350-700 ℃, so that the problems that the dies made of conventional 5CrNiMo and 5CrMnMo materials are severely plastically deformed and cracked and the like are caused, the service life of the dies is extremely short, the deformation of the dies is up to more than 10mm after 1-2 forgings are forged, and the dies are severely failed and cannot be reused and the like are caused.
Also having now chooseing for use behind the H13 steel as the mould material, the deformation degree of mould alleviates to some extent, but new problem also appears quietly, and the mould often takes place preheating and the condemned condition of whole fracture when placing. Analysis suggests that this is associated with metallurgical defects and insufficient stress relief for the machining. When the weight of the H13 material die exceeds 15 tons, the H13 material die is influenced by low casting metallurgical quality of large steel ingots, poor free forging penetration of the steel ingots and low heat treatment quenching hardness, the flaw detection qualification rate is extremely low, the qualification rate is only about 50 percent, the service life of the die cannot be ensured, and the production efficiency and the production cost of the die are seriously influenced.
In order to solve the technical problems, the applicant (inventor) has designed a sandwich layer forging die and a process method for overlaying a sandwich layer of the forging die, and applied for patent ZL201510171656.4; according to the invention, gradient functional layer additive manufacturing is carried out on a large forging die matrix, and then a final die is obtained through tempering stress removal, machining forming and the like, so that the obtained large forging die can basically meet the performance requirements of the forging die under extreme working conditions, the service life of the forging die is effectively prolonged, the production cost is reduced, and the manufacturing and using dies with low cost, short time and high utilization rate are realized.
However, in the process of implementing the method, the applicant finds that when the large hot-forging die for performing multi-gradient functional layer additive manufacturing on the die base forms a material difficult to deform on an 8-million ton press, the requirement of the base material on the plasticity/toughness performance under the condition of meeting the heavy load (local instantaneous stress at high temperature is more than 650 MPa) at high temperature (more than 350 ℃) needs to be further improved, and how to avoid the problems of severe plastic deformation, cracking and the like of the base of the hot-forging die under extreme conditions is a technical problem to be solved by a person skilled in the art; further, how to combine well and transition smoothly the matrix material with the multi-gradient functional layer manufactured by additive manufacturing in the background art, how to ensure that the performance of the matrix material meets the use requirements of multiple repair and remanufacture (multiple use, reduction of single-piece amortization cost) of a large hot forging die on an 8 ten thousand ton press, is also a technical problem which needs to be solved urgently by technical personnel in the field.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the defects in the prior art, the invention aims to solve the problems that: how to provide a high-strength die forged steel base material for a hot forging die, which is used for preparing a high-strength die forged steel base and solves the technical problems that the hardness and the strength of the existing die base are rapidly reduced, the performance cannot meet the requirements and the like under the conditions that the temperature is more than 350 ℃ and the local instantaneous stress is more than 650 MPa.
The invention also provides application of the high-strength forged steel base material in hot forging of a die, a prepared high-strength forged steel base and a preparation method for obtaining the high-strength sandwich layer forging die.
In order to solve the technical problems, the invention adopts the following technical scheme:
a high-strength die forged steel base material comprises the following components in percentage by mass: 0.5 to 0.7 percent of C, 0.3 to 0.4 percent of Si, 0.7 to 0.9 percent of Mn, 0.8 to 1.0 percent of Cr, 1.5 to 1.8 percent of Ni, 0.1 to 0.3 percent of Mo, 0.1 to 0.2 percent of Cu and the balance of iron; wherein the total amount of impurities is less than 0.12wt.%, wherein P is less than or equal to 0.01%, and S is less than or equal to 0.01%.
In the invention, because the alloy elements have a decisive effect on the performance of the forged steel, the forged steel material is required to have a good alloy element proportion. Wherein: the carbon content is 0.5-0.7% by mass, because the carbon element can increase the pearlite content in the carbon steel, thereby increasing the strength of the carbon steel; the carbon steel strength is good when the carbon content is in the interval, and the defects of hot blast and cold cracking are not easy to occur through analysis. The silicon content is 0.3-0.4%, because the silicon element can obviously improve the elastic limit and yield limit of the steel, and when the carbon steel containing silicon is heated in an oxidizing atmosphere, a layer of silicon dioxide film is also formed on the surface of the carbon steel, thereby improving the oxidation resistance of the steel at high temperature; analysis shows that the silicon content in the interval can form better solid solution strengthening effect in ferrite, and simultaneously a layer of silicon dioxide film is formed on the surface; effectively improves the strength and the hardness of the forged steel without obviously reducing the plasticity and the toughness of the forged steel. The manganese content is 0.7-0.9% by mass, because the manganese can eliminate the influence of sulfur and oxygen on the hot brittleness of the steel to a certain extent, the hot workability of the steel is improved, the cold brittleness tendency of the steel is improved, the strength of the steel is effectively improved, and the plasticity and the impact toughness of the steel are not remarkably reduced. The mass percent of the chromium is 0.8-1.0 percent, because the chromium element is a carbide forming element, and the proper increase of the chromium element has the functions of strengthening the matrix, refining grains and improving the hardenability, but the content of the chromium is not too high, otherwise the nonuniformity and the temper brittleness of the carbide can be increased. The mass percent of nickel is 1.5-1.8%, because nickel is a non-carbide forming element, and a proper amount of nickel can be dissolved into alpha-Fe to form a solid solution, strengthen a matrix, reduce the overheating sensitivity, play a role in precipitation strengthening, and keep good toughness while improving the strength and hardness of steel. The mass percentage of the molybdenum is 0.1-0.3 percent, because a proper amount of molybdenum element can form stable carbide in the steel to cause secondary hardening, so that the cast steel has high red hardness, and the wear resistance of the steel can be improved and the crystal grains can be prevented from growing. The mass percent of copper is 0.1-0.2%, because the proper amount of copper element can improve the strength and toughness of steel and improve the corrosion performance of steel under the atmosphere. The impurities are substances which have no influence on the performance of the high-strength die forged steel base material prepared by the method and cannot be removed and need to be controlled within 0.12%; wherein the mass percent of the phosphorus and the sulfur is respectively less than or equal to 0.01 percent, and the P element can form brittle Fe3The P compound causes the plasticity and toughness of the forged steel to be sharply reduced, and causes the brittle transition temperature of the forged steel to be increased to form cold brittleness defects; therefore, the condition that the strength of the steel is weakened and the cold cracking tendency of the steel is increased can be effectively avoided by controlling the content of the phosphorus. Because the S element is easy to form FeS low-melting-point substances at the grain boundary, when the S element is stressed at a high temperature, the material can form cracks along the grain boundary to form hot brittleness defects; the method avoids the condition that sulfides are solidified at the peripheral position of the crystal grains of the steel when the solidification process of the steel is finished, obviously reduces the high-temperature strength of the steel and forms hot cracks.
