Description

Method for detecting grain size of quenched and tempered steel
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of steel material detection, in particular to a method for detecting grain size of quenched and tempered steel.
Background
The quenched and tempered steel is quenched and tempered carbon steel and alloy steel subjected to high-temperature tempering, the metallographic microstructure of the quenched and tempered carbon steel and alloy steel is generally a tempered sorbite, and the quenched and tempered carbon steel and alloy steel have excellent comprehensive mechanical properties, namely high strength, good plasticity and toughness, and can be widely applied to manufacturing parts with complex requirements on load and stress under different working conditions in industries such as automobiles, machine tools, aerospace and nuclear power.
In general, a metal material used at normal temperature has better plasticity and toughness as the crystal grains become finer and the strength and hardness become higher, but in a high-temperature environment, the strength of the metal material is rather lowered by refining the crystal grains. Meanwhile, the technical specifications of many products have clear regulations on the grain size level index, and it is clear that the crystal grains of the steel are necessary to be displayed. However, in the case of quenched and tempered steel, since the interfacial energy of the prior austenite grain boundaries is generally lower than that of the in-grain tempered precipitate phase, the microstructure, and the like, corrosion is performed using a general etchant (e.g., 4% nital solution), and instead, the inside of the grains is corroded, showing its microstructure (see fig. 1). How to show the actual grain size of the quenched and tempered state of steel without distortion is a constant difficulty faced in the art.
Bechet and Beaujard in 1955 created a method for developing alloy steel grains using a saturated aqueous picric acid solution and wetting agent reagent that inhibited some steel matrix formations from developing, i.e. having some selective corrosion, preferentially corroding grain boundaries, while the matrix formation corroded less, although this method has been used to date. However, the picric acid has strong explosiveness, corrosive liquid needs to be added and heated to slight boiling in the using process, toxic gas is generated, great potential safety hazard exists, the picric acid is listed as an explosive dangerous medicine, and the production and marketing are strictly controlled; moreover, the aqueous picric acid solution has a long erosion time and low efficiency, is only suitable for certain specific steels, and has certain limitations (see fig. 2). In the prior art, a sulfosalicylic acid method is adopted to replace a saturated picric acid water solution method, but the problems of poor universality and poor repeatability exist. At present, the detection and evaluation of the grain size in the industry depend on the experience of inspectors, the subjectivity is strong, the detection results of different inspectors are different, the detection reliability is low, and hidden dangers are brought to the subsequent manufacturing and safe use of parts.
Therefore, it is necessary to develop a method for detecting the grain size of a quenched and tempered steel with high safety and accuracy.
Disclosure of Invention
Therefore, it is necessary to provide a method for detecting the grain size of quenched and tempered steel, which has the advantages of good safety, high accuracy and real and reliable detection result.
A method for detecting the grain size of quenched and tempered steel comprises the following steps:
decarbonization: heating the sample to be tested to be lower than the critical point A of the steel gradeC1At a temperature of 20 to 40 ℃ below AC1Keeping the temperature at the critical temperature of the tissue transformation in the steel heating process until the carbide of the tempered sorbite on the surface of the sample to be detected is oxidized and diffused;
polishing: cooling after decarburization treatment, grinding to remove an oxide layer until the surface is bright, and polishing to expose a decarburized layer;
and (3) corrosion: corroding the decarburized layer by using a corrosive agent to obtain a sorbite interface;
measurement: and measuring the grain size of the surface of the corroded sample to be measured to obtain the grain size of the quenched and tempered steel.
The inventor finds that the detection method in the prior art mainly focuses on the detailed display of tempered sorbite structure of quenched and tempered steel, namely, the distribution of fine carbides on a ferrite matrix is observed under a microscope, so that although the detailed structure is highlighted, the display of grain boundaries is weakened, and the dense distribution of carbides confuses the grain boundaries, so that the grain size cannot be effectively and correctly evaluated under the prior art.
Based on the above findings, the inventors have found that the metal material is made to be lower than A according to the principle of metallographyC1The critical point temperature is heated, namely the steel is not austenitized, and is subjected to heat preservation and oxidation for a period of time, so that the size of sorbite grains is not changed in the process, and the phenomenon of decarburization and oxidation only occurs on the surface. The tempered sorbite is basically characterized in that: fine granular carbides are distributed on a ferrite matrix, the ferrite serves as a matrix of tempered sorbite, and the grain boundary of the ferrite is the grain boundary of the sorbite. According to the principle, the invention adopts the surface decarburization principle, so that carbon elements on the surface of the sample react with oxygen to generate carbon oxides or gas, the carbon oxides or the gas are diffused, the ferrite matrix is kept unchanged, and the sorbite grain size can be obtained by measuring the ferrite grain size.
The detection method can clearly and completely display the grain boundaries and the grain sizes of the tempered sorbite, and has the advantages of real and effective grain size evaluation result, high accuracy, simple detection process, less material consumption and high safety.
In one embodiment, in the decarbonization step, the sample to be tested is carbon steel, and the heat preservation time is 50-70 min.
In one embodiment, in the decarbonization step, the sample to be tested is alloy steel, and the heat preservation time is 60-80 min.

In one embodiment, in the etching step, the etchant is a nitric acid alcohol solution with the volume concentration of 2-5%, and the sample to be tested is cleaned and dried after etching.
In one embodiment, in the measuring step, the grain size is measured by observation or photographing under a metallographic microscope.
In one embodiment, in the measuring step, the method for measuring the grain size adopts a comparison method, an intercept method or an area method of GB/T6394-.
In one embodiment, the steel grade of the test specimen to be tested is selected from: 20Cr1Mo1VTiB, 12Cr1MoV, 40CrNiMo, SA-387M Gr.22CL1.1, 12Cr2.25Mo1, 16MND5, 18MND5, SA-508Gr3.Cl2, SA-336MGr.F22CL1.1, SA-540MGr.B24CL.3, SA-193MGr.7B, 42CrMo, SA-213M T22, 18MnNiMo, 16 MnNiMo.
