The microstructure of the axle housing steel after hot forming is granular bainite.
The invention discloses a preparation method of a low-cost thermoformed axle housing steel plate with yield strength of 460MPa, which comprises the following steps: smelting, continuous casting, slab heating, rolling, hot straightening, cold bed air cooling and finishing off-line, wherein:
(1) heating the plate blank: heating the slab in a heating furnace to 1150-1250 ℃ for 3.0-4.0 hours, and ensuring that the soaking time of the billet is more than or equal to 45 min;
(2) rolling: the method comprises two stages of rolling in a recrystallization zone and rolling in a non-recrystallization zone; the initial rolling temperature of the rolling stage of the recrystallization zone is 1050-1100 ℃, the final rolling temperature is 920-980 ℃, the single-pass reduction rate is more than or equal to 13%, the cumulative reduction rate is more than or equal to 75%, the intermediate temperature waiting thickness is 30-55 mm, the initial rolling temperature of the non-recrystallization zone is controlled to be 860-900 ℃, the final rolling temperature is 800-840 ℃, and the final reduction amount is more than or equal to 10%;
(3) laminar cooling: after rolling, adopting laminar flow accelerated cooling, controlling the final cooling temperature to be 500-650 ℃, and controlling the cooling speed to be 10-25 ℃/s;
(4) and (3) thermal straightening: straightening the axle housing steel at the temperature of 350-600 ℃;
(5) cooling by a cooling bed: and naturally cooling the steel plate subjected to the hot straightening to room temperature on a cooling bed.
In the component design of the present invention, the design principle is as follows:
c, carbon C: c, the most basic strengthening element, is dissolved in steel to form an interstitial solid solution, and acts as solid solution strengthening, and C acts as precipitation strengthening when forming carbide precipitates with a strong carbide-forming element, and can improve the hardenability of steel. However, too high C is disadvantageous in properties such as ductility and toughness of steel, and reduces solid solution of micro-alloying elements such as Nb and V to affect precipitation strengthening effect and also reduces hardenability effect of B. Therefore, C is controlled to be 0.12-0.18%.
Manganese Mn: mn as an element for expanding the gamma phase region can lower the gamma → alpha transformation temperature of the steel and increase the stability of austenite. When the Mn content is in a certain range, the upper and lower C curves on the supercooling austenite isothermal transformation curve can be obviously separated, and the phase transformation product of bainite can be obtained. However, Mn is likely to cause core segregation in the steel sheet. Therefore, the Mn content of the steel grade is 1.8-2.6%.
Sulfur S, phosphorus P: harmful impurity elements in the steel are inevitable. S is easily combined with Mn to form segregation, inclusion and other defects, and the performance of the steel plate is deteriorated. Therefore, the axle housing steel and the production method thereof adopt the clean steel production technology, and the P is controlled to be less than or equal to 0.015 percent and the S is controlled to be less than or equal to 0.0030 percent.
Niobium Nb: nb increases the recrystallization temperature, and precipitates fine precipitated particles of NbC or Nb (CN), thereby further refining austenite grains during rolling and improving the strength and toughness. However, if the content is too high, the cost increases significantly. Therefore, the content is controlled to be 0.010 to 0.030 percent.
V, V: v can refine the structure and the crystal grains of the steel and improve the coarsening temperature of the crystal grains, thereby reducing the overheating sensitivity of the steel and improving the strength and the toughness of the steel. V can effectively fix C and N in steel, so that the addition of a trace amount of V can play a role in inhibiting aging. For low alloy steel, V can not only refine grains, but also improve the strength, yield ratio and low-temperature toughness of the steel after normalizing, and improve the welding performance of the steel. Therefore, the content is controlled to be 0.035 to 0.050 percent.
B, boron B: b mainly improves the hardenability of steel and reduces the transformation critical cooling rate of bainite and martensite, the premise of the function of B is that the B must be dissolved in the steel, and the best effect is realized when the content of B is less than 0.0020%. Therefore, in order to obtain a good hardenability effect, the content of B is limited to 0.0008 to 0.0020%.
Aluminum Al: al is an important deoxidizer for killed steel, and is usually added in an amount of 0.015% or more, and is present as Al oxide and acid-soluble aluminum. The oxide of Al is easy to form chain-shaped inclusion, which is unfavorable for steel quality. Excessive acid-soluble Al is combined with N to form AlN, so that the growth of crystal grains can be inhibited and the crystal grains can be refined when the axle housing steel is heated. Therefore, the Al content is controlled in a reasonable range, and the mass percentage of the acid-soluble Al in the steel is controlled to be 0.015-0.030%.
N: the trace N element can react with Nb, Al, V and the like to form nitride particles, refine the grain structure and strengthen the matrix. Therefore, the N content is 0.002% -0.008%.
The production process and the process parameter design principle of the invention are as follows:
(1) smelting: smelting a steelmaking raw material into molten steel, wherein the smelting sequentially comprises iron making, molten iron pretreatment, KR desulfurization, converter smelting, LF refining and RH refining; during smelting, the content of elements such as P, S, N in steel is processed to be lower than the corresponding content, so as to ensure that inclusions in molten steel are controlled to generate and purify the steel in the subsequent smelting process.
(2) Continuous casting: continuously casting the molten steel to obtain a plate blank; the slab comprises the following chemical components in percentage by mass: c: 0.12 to 0.18%, Si: 0.10 to 0.50%, Mn: 1.8-2.6%, P is less than or equal to 0.015%, S is less than or equal to 0.0030%, and Nb: 0.010-0.030%, V is 0.035-0.050%, B: 0.0008-0.0020%, Al: 0.015-0.035%, N: 0.002-0.008% and the balance of Fe and inevitable impurities.
(3) Heating the plate blank: in order to fully dissolve micro-alloy elements and ensure a certain austenite grain size, a steel billet is heated to 1150-1250 ℃, the soaking time of the steel billet is ensured to be more than or equal to 45min, and the steel billet is fully heated and the excessive growth of the austenite grain is inhibited.
(4) Rolling: the method comprises two stages of rolling in a recrystallization zone and rolling in a non-recrystallization zone; the initial rolling temperature of the rolling stage of the recrystallization zone is 1050-1100 ℃, the final rolling temperature is 920-980 ℃, the single-pass reduction rate is more than or equal to 13%, the cumulative reduction rate is more than or equal to 75%, the intermediate temperature waiting thickness is 30-55 mm, the initial rolling temperature of the non-recrystallization zone is controlled to be 860-900 ℃, the final rolling temperature is 800-830 ℃, and the final reduction amount is more than or equal to 10%; the rolling in the recrystallization zone adopts a high-temperature and high-pressure process to refine austenite grains, and the rolling in the non-recrystallization zone adopts low-temperature rolling to reduce the tendency of grain recovery and growth, increase the nucleation rate of austenite during hot forming and further refine grains; the grain size of the steel after hot forming has certain inheritance, so that the comprehensive mechanical property of the steel after hot forming can be improved.
(5) Laminar cooling: after rolling, adopting laminar flow accelerated cooling, controlling the final cooling temperature to be 500-650 ℃, and controlling the cooling speed to be 10-25 ℃/s; the accelerated cooling is carried out at the temperature range of more than or equal to 620 ℃, the grain structure of steel plates with different specifications can be further refined, the precipitation phase of V is prevented from being precipitated and grown in a large amount in a high temperature section, and meanwhile, the final cooling temperature is higher so as not to deteriorate the plate shape.
(6) And (3) thermal straightening: straightening the axle housing steel at the temperature of 350-600 ℃; the method can straighten the poor plate shape caused by hot rolling, reduce the internal stress of the steel plate and reduce the unevenness of the steel plate.
