Description

Wire material suitable for hot forging die arc fuse wire additive manufacturing and preparation method thereof

The technical field is as follows:

the invention relates to a wire material for repairing a hot forging die, in particular to a wire material suitable for hot forging die arc fuse wire additive manufacturing and a preparation method thereof.

Background art:

with the rapid development of the mold forming technology, the requirements on the service conditions and the performance of the mold are increasingly strict. Taking a large forging die of an aircraft landing gear as an example, the forging die not only bears huge impact force and repeated stress in the service process, but also is in long-time contact with a material (high-temperature alloy, titanium alloy, ultrahigh-strength steel and the like) which is difficult to deform during forging forming, so that the bearing pressure of the die is high, the temperature rise of the surface layer of a cavity is fast, and the temperature can reach above 700 ℃. This requires that the hot forging die steel not only have good toughness and impact resistance, but also have high thermal stability and high-temperature wear resistance. The traditional hot-work die steel (such as H13, HM1 and the like) can not completely meet the performance requirements, so that the problem of die failure caused by high-temperature friction wear is more and more prominent. Heretofore, scholars at home and abroad adopt various technologies to improve the comprehensive performance of the surface of a die, such as nitriding, carburizing, vapor deposition, plasma spraying, supersonic spraying, laser cladding, plasma cladding and the like. Compared with the traditional surface modification mode, the Direct Energy Deposition (DED) manufacturing technology which is developed rapidly in recent years can individually manufacture materials meeting various specific functional requirements by optimizing and adjusting the components of added wires or powder materials.

The energy deposition additive manufacturing technology (DED) is a direct energy deposition additive manufacturing technology that uses laser, electron beam, or electric arc to melt, solidify, and deposit layer by layer coaxially conveyed metal powder or wire. Compared with powder raw materials, the wire material has high utilization rate, is easy to store and transport and has low environmental sensitivity. Direct energy deposition additive manufacturing technique using arc fuses, material utilization>90 percent, the deposition efficiency can reach 400cm³More than h, and is formed in the atmospheric environment, and is particularly suitable for the repair and additive manufacturing of large-size hot forging dies. However, no wire for a hot forging die specially aiming at arc fuse additive manufacturing exists at present. Most of wires for repairing the existing hot forging die are surfacing flux-cored wires, one type is a gas-shielded surfacing flux-cored wire, and the other type is a self-shielded surfacing flux-cored wire. The invention discloses a Chinese invention patent with the publication number of CN 102029482A and the patent name of ' a gas shielded surfacing flux-cored wire for repairing hot forging dies ' discloses a gas shielded surfacing flux-cored wire for repairing hot forging dies ' which is prepared by taking a cold-rolled low-carbon steel strip as a welding wire raw material and adding alloy powder of iron powder, high-carbon ferrochrome (15-20%), electrolytic manganese (10-15%), ferrosilicon, ferromolybdenum (4-8%), ferrovanadium (2-5%), nickel powder (4-8%), tungsten powder (5-10%) and cobalt powder (2-5%), and has good high-temperature hardness and thermal fatigue resistance. CN 101920413A discloses a flux-cored wire for hot forging die overlaying repair, which also adopts a cold-rolled steel strip as a flux-cored sheath, and 30-50% of metal chromium (Cr) is added; 10-25% of ferromolybdenum (Mo-Fe); 3-9% of metal manganese (Mn); 3-10% of nickel powder (Ni); 2-8% of rare earth oxide (ReY); 1-4% of tungsten carbide (WC); 0.3-2% of ferrovanadium (V-Fe), and the balance of slag former. Adopt thisCompared with the traditional material surfacing repair mould, the service life of the surfacing repair mould for the flux-cored wire is prolonged by more than 3 times, and the surfacing repair mould for the flux-cored wire has high welding efficiency and good welding process performance. The patent with publication number CN 105171275A discloses a high-hardness gas-shielded surfacing flux-cored wire for repairing a hot forging die, which adopts an SPCC-SD cold-rolled low-carbon steel strip as a raw material of the wire, and adds mineral powder such as fluoride, barium carbonate and the like, 20-30 parts of high-carbon ferrochrome, 10-15 parts of silicon-manganese alloy, 4-8 parts of ferromolybdenum, 1-4 parts of nickel powder, 20-30 parts of tungsten powder, 3-6 parts of cobalt powder, 1-1.5 parts of cerium-rare earth alloy and 10-30 parts of iron powder as a flux core. When the flux-cored wire disclosed by the invention is used for surfacing three layers, the hardness HRC of the surfacing layer is 55-58, and the using effect is good. The CN 103862194 a patent discloses a surfacing flux-cored wire for repairing a hot forging die, which adopts a carbon steel strip to wrap flux-cored powder, wherein the flux-cored powder mainly comprises the following alloy powder besides mineral powder: 4.3 to 13.2 percent of high-carbon ferrochrome; 24.8 to 38.3 percent of pure chromium powder; 6-11.3% of nickel powder; 1.5 to 3.5 percent of tungsten iron powder; 2.5 to 5.1 percent of electrolytic manganese; 14.7 to 27.3 percent of ferromolybdenum powder; 3.6 to 6.1 percent of ferrosilicon powder; 0.2 to 1.4 percent of ferrovanadium powder. The wire of this patent has good thermal stability and thermal fatigue resistance, and has high crack resistance, without pre-heating before welding and immediate heat treatment after welding. CN 102814604A discloses a surfacing flux-cored wire for repairing a hammer forging die and a preparation method thereof, wherein carbon steel strips are adopted to wrap flux-cored powder, and the alloy powder mainly comprises 8.5-17% of ferrochrome powder; 5-11% of nickel powder; 3 to 6.5 percent of ferromolybdenum; 1.7-11% of ferrosilicon; 0.5 to 2.1 percent of ferrovanadium. The welding wire has high efficiency, good processing performance, high temperature hardness and thermal fatigue resistance. The CN 109894772A patent discloses a flux-cored wire for a skin layer of a large-scale hot forging die with a fist-type bionic structure and a preparation method thereof, wherein the wire comprises 2.2-2.8% of manganese element, 0.2-0.6% of silicon element, 14-20% of chromium element, 1.6-2.0% of molybdenum element, 2.0-2.8% of tungsten element, 0.2-0.6% of molybdenum element, 0.4-1.0% of vanadium element and the balance of nickel and impurities. The flux-cored wire has moderate strength and hardness at normal temperature, can effectively reduce the problems of surface cracks caused by high surface hardness, difficult machining and the like, but has strong strength and stability, strong oxidation resistance and strong impact resistance under the working condition of about 600 DEG CThe forging die has the advantages that the forging die is very suitable for a large forging die skin layer with high requirements on wear resistance and deformation resistance under the high-temperature heavy-load working condition due to the chemical effect, and the service life of the die is remarkably prolonged. The patent with publication number CN 107225339A discloses a self-protecting cored wire for a large-scale hot forging die sandwich layer and a preparation method thereof, wherein the wire comprises 0.8-1.2% of manganese element, 0.2-0.6% of silicon element, 1.8-2.5% of chromium element, 1.8-2.5% of nickel element, 1.2-1.6% of molybdenum element, 13-18% of vanadium element, and the balance of iron and impurities. This patent makes sandwich layer material under the extreme operating mode of high temperature heavy load, and sandwich layer's elastic deformation and stress diffusion ability improve, and the bonding strength increase and sandwich layer's shaping quality and welding manufacturability between sandwich layer and cast steel mould base member and the transition layer are better.

The wire can be directly used for direct surfacing of a working area of a large-scale hot forging die cavity to form a surface strengthening layer, so that the wear, deformation and cracking of the surface layer of the large-scale hot forging die cavity are not easy to occur under the extreme working condition that the load is more than 4 ten thousand tons at the temperature of 500-.

Both the gas-shielded surfacing flux-cored wire and the self-shielded surfacing flux-cored wire adopt the traditional flux-cored wire preparation mode, namely, a cold-rolled steel strip is adopted as a sheath, alloy elements with different contents and components are added to meet the component requirements required by the high-temperature wear-resistant working condition, and simultaneously, the purposes of protecting a molten pool and a solidification structure are achieved by adding mineral powder such as slagging, gas making and the like. Because the mineral powder is used, a certain amount of skull must be generated in the surfacing manufacturing process of the wire, and the skull can be removed in a knocking mode and the like in the traditional manual surfacing manufacturing process, but the wire is not suitable for the automatic fuse wire additive manufacturing technology controlled by a robot. Therefore, the development of a wire material for a hot forging die suitable for the additive manufacturing of the arc fuse is urgently needed.

The invention content is as follows:
