Detailed Description
The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and examples, and the advantages and various effects of the embodiments of the present invention will be more clearly apparent therefrom. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present embodiments and examples are illustrative of the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.
Throughout the specification, unless otherwise specifically noted, terms used herein should be understood as having meanings as commonly used in the art. Accordingly, unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which embodiments of the invention belong. If there is a conflict, the present specification will control.
Unless otherwise specifically stated, various raw materials, reagents, instruments, equipment and the like used in the examples of the present invention are commercially available or can be prepared by an existing method.
In order to solve the technical problems, the embodiment of the invention provides the following general ideas:
according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a method for controlling strength reduction of axle housing steel after hot forming, as shown in fig. 1, including:
s1, carrying out rough rolling, finish rolling, cooling after rolling and coiling on a casting blank in sequence to obtain an axle housing raw material;
s2, heating, hot stamping and water mist cooling the axle housing raw material, and then air cooling to room temperature to obtain a high-strength axle housing steel finished product, wherein the heating rate is more than or equal to 400 ℃/S, the heating temperature is 600-650 ℃, and the heating heat preservation time is less than or equal to 180S.
From the above, it can be seen that the general idea of the method for controlling strength reduction of axle housing steel after hot forming provided by the embodiment of the invention is as follows:
(1) The heating rate is more than or equal to 400 ℃/s: the heating rate has obvious influence on the coarsening behavior of original austenite grains and precipitates, if the heating rate is less than 400 ℃/s, the austenite grains grow for a sufficient time, the microalloying elements have a sufficient time to coarsen, the size of the formed austenite grains is large, and if the precipitates cannot be redissolved, the coarse grains can be formed, which is not beneficial to the control of final tissues or precipitates, thereby reducing the strength and the fatigue life; meanwhile, the production rhythm and efficiency are influenced when the heating rate is slow. Therefore, the heating rate is ensured to be more than 400 ℃/s by comprehensively considering the equipment capacity.
(2) The heating temperature is 600-650 ℃: the heating temperature mainly affects two aspects, namely deformation resistance on one hand, and texture change, precipitate re-dissolution and coarsening behavior in heating on the other hand, and the control of the temperature is very important. The deformation resistance generally decreases gradually along with the increase of the heating temperature, but when the heating temperature reaches about 600 ℃, the deformation resistance is obviously reduced, and the thickness of the punching plate below 18mm does not have any problem for the equipment with the raw material below 800MPa and the punching tonnage above 1000 tons; considering that the tonnage of the axle housing warm forming equipment is generally between 1000 and 2500 tons, when the heating temperature reaches over 600 ℃, the thickness of the axle housing can realize stable stamping within 6 to 18mm, and the damage to a mold can not be caused. For the high-temperature structure change, when the heating temperature is less than 650 ℃, the structure is in a ferrite high-temperature area, the structure is in a recovery state, only a dynamic process of precipitation or dissolution of carbide occurs, the original structure type is not changed, and therefore benefits are provided for final axle housing structure control, namely, the finished product structure can be controlled through original structure control, and the axle housing steel with different strength grades is developed. On the other hand, for microalloying elements Nb and Ti, the carbonitride of the elements has higher dissolution temperature, the dissolution is difficult to occur or the dissolution amount is smaller in the axle housing heating process, and the growth process of the microalloying carbonitride is slower due to the lower temperature, so that the serious coarsening of the carbonitride can be avoided, and the strength of a finished product is not influenced. If the heating temperature is less than 600 ℃, the adverse effect of damaging the grinding tool is possible, and if the heating temperature is more than 650 ℃, the adverse effect of causing great performance loss is possible, so the heating temperature is controlled to be 600-650 ℃ by comprehensively considering the equipment capacity and the performance control.
(3) The heat preservation time is less than or equal to 180s: the holding time is the same as the heating temperature, and the degree of tissue recovery and the size of precipitates are greatly influenced, so that the strength of the finished product is greatly influenced. If the heating time is longer than 180s, more carbides are precipitated in the structure, the growth is obvious, and the strength and the shaping of the finished product are both adversely affected, so the angle of controlling the strength of the finished product is comprehensively considered, and the heat preservation time is controlled within 180s.
(4) Cooling by water mist: after stamping, the axle housing is rapidly cooled by water mist, ferrite nucleation dynamics is improved, and ferrite grains are organized to grow up, so that uniform and fine ferrite grains can be obtained, and the occurrence of serious banded structures is avoided.
In conclusion, the embodiment of the invention realizes the fine regulation and control of axle housing tissues and precipitates by controlling the hot stamping conditions (the heating rate is more than or equal to 400 ℃/s, the heating temperature is 600-650 ℃, and the heating time is less than or equal to 180 s), the yield strength is improved by over 145MPa compared with the traditional hot forming process, the reduction of the yield strength and the tensile strength after warm forming is less than 25MPa, and the surface quality is excellent.
As a preferred embodiment, the water mist cooling includes: cooling with water mist at the cooling speed of 8-15 ℃/s to the final cooling temperature of 300-400 ℃.
Axle housing end-of-line cooling rate and final cooling temperature: the finished product of the traditional hot forming axle housing rear axle housing is cooled in a stacking mode, and if the cooling speed is less than 8 ℃/s, coarse structures and precipitates are easily caused; after the axle housing finished product is off line, the mechanical property of the axle housing finished product is obviously influenced by the cooling speed and the final cooling temperature during cooling, the structure can be refined by increasing the cooling speed, but the cooling speed and the final cooling temperature must be controlled, the phenomenon that the fatigue life of the axle housing finished product is influenced because large residual stress is easy to occur if the cooling speed is more than 15 ℃/s and/or the final cooling temperature is less than 300 ℃ is avoided; if the final cooling temperature is higher than 400 ℃, the adverse effect of large performance reduction rate is caused; therefore, comprehensively considering, after stamping, the axle housing is cooled by water mist at the cooling speed of 8-15 ℃/s and the final cooling temperature of 300-400 ℃, and finally, the axle housing is cooled to the room temperature by air.
As an alternative embodiment, the temperature of the hot stamping is 580-640 ℃, and the speed of the hot stamping is 550-700 mm/s. The stamping speed is limited to 550-700 mm/s during stamping, the stamping temperature is 580-640 ℃, the surface quality of the stamped rear axle housing can be effectively ensured, and the problem of stamping wrinkles or stamping cracks is avoided;
the stamping temperature is 580-640 ℃: the warm forming temperature mainly influences the deformation resistance during stamping, and if the stamping temperature is lower than 580 ℃, the deformation resistance is easily overlarge, and the stamping equipment is damaged; if the stamping temperature is higher than 640 ℃, the adverse effect of large performance reduction rate is caused, the warm forming deformation resistance is generally increased along with the reduction of the warm forming temperature, and the stamping temperature is controlled to be 580-640 ℃ more appropriately in order to ensure the smooth operation of the stamping process.
The stamping speed is 550-700 mm/s: the stamping speed mainly influences the surface quality of the axle housing, if the stamping speed is higher than 700mm/s, the surface of the axle housing is easy to wrinkle, and if the stamping speed is lower than 550mm/s, the thinning amount of the axle housing is large, and the problem of cracking is easy to occur; the punching speed is controlled within the range of 550-700 mm/s by comprehensively considering the surface quality of the axle housing and the capacity of forming equipment.
As an alternative embodiment, the temperature of the heating before rolling is 1200-1230 ℃, and the time of the heating before rolling is 175-215 mim. If the heating temperature is too high, the original structure is easy to be coarse; if the heating temperature is too low, the rolling stability is poor, and the production cannot be easily discharged;
in an optional embodiment, in the rough rolling, 3+3 passes are adopted for rolling, the rolling speed is controlled to be 2-5 m/s, the total deformation of the rough rolling is controlled to be 75-85%, and the inlet temperature of the rough rolling is controlled to be 1140-1170 ℃. The rough rolling inlet temperature is too high, so that the original structure is easily thick; if the rough rolling inlet temperature is too low, partial recrystallization is easily caused;
in an optional embodiment, in the fine rolling, 6 passes are adopted for rolling, the rolling speed is controlled to be 8-12 mm/s, the total deformation of the finish rolling is controlled to be 85-95%, and the inlet temperature of the finish rolling is controlled to be 1030-1060 ℃. The inlet temperature of finish rolling is too low, so that poor rolling stability is easily caused; if the inlet temperature of finish rolling is too high, partial recrystallization is easily caused;
as an alternative embodiment, the coiling temperature is 580 to 620 ℃. If the coiling temperature is higher than 620 ℃, the mechanical property is easily reduced; if the coiling temperature is lower than 560 ℃, the hot coiling performance control is not facilitated;
according to another exemplary embodiment of the invention, the axle housing steel prepared by the method is provided. In the embodiment of the invention, the component system and the microstructure type of the axle housing raw material are not limited, and the axle housing raw material can be a carbon-manganese system, a micro-alloying component system, a ferrite + pearlite structure, or a bainite or martensite structure.
