Description

Heat treatment process of high-strength and high-toughness bainite/martensite multiphase bainite steel rail
Technical Field
The invention relates to a heat treatment process of a high-strength and high-toughness bainite/martensite multiphase bainite steel rail.
Background
With the progress of railway heavy-load transportation technology, the railway heavy-load transportation capacity of China is continuously improved, the axle weight of heavy-load trucks is gradually improved, and the heavy-load railway has the characteristics of large axle weight, large transportation capacity, high departure density and the like, for example, the traffic volume of the Taiyuan Daqin line in 2019 reaches 5 hundred million tons per year. The rapid development of the steel rail for the heavy-duty railway puts more rigorous requirements on the strength, toughness, wear resistance and fatigue resistance of steel rail materials in a steel mill. The pearlite steel rail commonly used at present basically exerts the toughness to the utmost limit due to the characteristics of the components and the tissue structure, and has lower impact toughness and fracture toughness, so the pearlite steel rail can not completely meet the service requirement of a heavy haul railway. Under the background, the development of steel rails suitable for heavy-duty transportation railways is promoted, the bainite steel rail has good strength, plasticity, impact toughness, wear resistance and rolling contact fatigue resistance, and the bainite steel rail has better weldability and is very suitable for turnout and main track laying of heavy-duty railways.
The heavy haul railway steel rail has poor service conditions and bears higher external acting force. In order to meet the requirements of high strength and toughness, high wear resistance and excellent fatigue resistance of the steel rail for the heavy haul railway, the bainite steel rail needs to be produced by adopting an online controlled cooling process, so that the grain refinement and the uniform structure of the steel rail are ensured, and various mechanical performance indexes are improved in detail. However, bainite steel rails have different bainite/martensite structure transformation ratios and conventional mechanical properties at different cooling speeds, and can generate higher structural stress in the line controlled cooling process to influence the straightness of the steel rail, and meanwhile, the steel rail can also generate straightening stress in the straightening process, and the structural stress and the straightening stress are superposed to generate higher residual stress on the steel rail, thereby seriously influencing the use and the service of the steel rail. Therefore, the reasonable controlled cooling process and tempering process can effectively improve the comprehensive mechanical property, the wear resistance and the fatigue resistance of the bainite/martensite multiphase steel rail, reduce the residual stress of the steel rail, reduce the sensitivity of bainite/martensite multiphase structure to inclusions, and further effectively improve the service performance of the steel rail.
The development of bainite steel rail is mainly designed by adopting medium and low carbon contents, and is supplemented with proper amount of Si, Mn, Cr, Mo, V, Nb, Ni, Ti and other elements, and the complex phase steel which mainly comprises bainite and martensite and also comprises residual austenite carbide and the like is obtained under the conditions of air cooling and controlled cooling. The bainite steel rail structure should avoid upper bainite, martensite segregation zone, unstable residual austenite, coarse carbide, etc. The ideal structure of the 1380MPa grade on-line controlled cooling bainite steel rail is low-carbon bainite, a martensite complex phase structure and a small amount of residual austenite, and the comprehensive mechanical property of the steel rail is improved through dislocation strengthening, fine crystal strengthening, solid solution strengthening and precipitation strengthening.
Beijing Temetallurgical industry and trade LLC liability company proposes "Bainite steel and Bainite steel rail for curve and heavy-duty steel rail and its production method" (publication number is CN101921971A), but because of adopting air cooling and cooling with cooling rate of 10-20 ℃/min, the strength of the obtained steel rail is low, only 1200-1300 MPa, and can not meet the increasingly developed heavy-duty railway construction. "Bainite structural steel rail having excellent fatigue resistance and method for producing the same" (publication No. CN 1978690A) are proposed by saddle Steel products, but "natural cooling in air after hot rolling" inevitably causes influence of seasonal change on cooling rate, resulting in non-uniform performance and structure. The iron and steel research institute proposes 'an alloy system and a heat treatment method of bainite steel rails thereof' (the publication number is CN105385938A), but because the steel rails need to be subjected to re-austenitizing and normalizing treatment, waste heat treatment is not adopted, and the energy conservation and emission reduction are not facilitated. The Panzhihua steel research institute company Limited of Panzhihua group proposed "a high strength bainite steel rail and its production method" (publication number is CN 104087852A); although a waste heat treatment process is adopted, the rail head part of the steel rail is subjected to accelerated cooling at the cooling speed of 3 ℃/S-6 ℃/S at 450-500 ℃, the temperature interval belongs to an upper bainite transformation interval, so that the structure is coarsened, the performance is poor, the temperature of different temperatures of the steel rail is not accurately controlled, the performance fluctuation is large, a tempering step is omitted, the martensite is brittle, and the improvement of the service performance of the steel rail is not facilitated.
In the heat treatment process of the steel rail, due to different heat capacities at the section positions of the steel rail, the steel rail is easy to have the outstanding problems of uneven structure transformation, overlarge bending deformation degree, higher residual stress, performance difference and the like in the heat treatment process; the internal structure and structure of the material are changed and the performance of the material is also changed due to different heat exchange gradients in the heat treatment process of the steel rail, and the reasonable heat treatment process can ensure that the structure of the steel rail is uniformly changed, reduce the bending deformation, reduce the residual stress and the like.
