Description

Heat treatment method of low-carbon low-alloy steel bit leg bearing casting and bit leg bearing
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of petroleum drilling tools, and relates to a heat treatment method of a low-carbon low-alloy steel bit leg bearing casting and a bit leg bearing.
Background
The tricone bit is a very wide drilling tool for petroleum drilling, and the bit leg bearing is made of a low-carbon alloy forging material conventionally and manufactured by using a quenching and low-temperature tempering heat treatment process after carburization, so that the high hardness, high wear resistance and high matrix toughness of the surface of the bit leg bearing are ensured. For some special-structure bit leg bearings, a casting process can be used when the design structure cannot be realized by forging or the cost is too high. However, the casting material has no rolling and forging compression process compared with the forging material, and too coarse grains and structures lead to larger brittleness of the material.
At present, the material for the bearing of the bit leg is mainly low-carbon low-alloy steel, the representative mark is ZG20CrNiMo, and the main component is C:0.17-0.21%; cr:0.9-1.1%; ni:0.6-0.9%; mo:0.25-0.35%; mn:0.60-0.90%; si:0.17-0.37%. S is less than or equal to 0.025 percent; p less than or equal to 0.025%; less than or equal to 0.20 percent of Cu and the balance of Fe. When the material is used for a bit leg bearing, the conventional low-temperature tempering heat treatment process for carburizing and quenching the forging material is adopted, so that the toughness of the bit leg bearing matrix is too low to meet the performance requirement of SY/T5164 tricone bit on cast bit legs. In the prior art, a tempering heat treatment process is generally adopted to improve the plasticity and toughness of a casting material matrix, but the depth and hardness of a hardening layer on the surface of a bit leg bearing can not meet the performance requirements of products when the tempering process is adopted, namely, the requirements of cast bit leg products on the plastic toughness and the performance of the hardening layer on the surface of the core of the bit leg bearing can not be met at the same time according to the conventional heat treatment process.

high temperature tempering: placing the bearing leg bearing subjected to integral quenching in a tempering furnace, heating to 570-590 ℃ under a protective atmosphere, preserving heat, discharging, and air-cooling to room temperature;
surface induction hardening: placing the high-temperature tempered bit leg bearing on high-frequency induction quenching equipment, and moving the bit leg bearing and an induction coil at a relative speed of 2-4mm/s under the power of 5-7KHz so as to ensure that the depth of an induction quenching hardening layer is higher than that of a carburized layer;
low temperature tempering: and (3) placing the bearing leg bearing with the surface induction quenching in a tempering furnace, heating to 180-200 ℃, preserving heat, discharging, and air-cooling to room temperature.

b. c, performing diffusion treatment on the bearing leg treated in the step a under the carburizing atmosphere with the carbon concentration of 0.90% -1.10% and the temperature of 890-910 ℃;
c. and d, cooling the bearing leg treated in the step b to below 300 ℃ under the protective atmosphere, discharging, and then cooling to room temperature in an air way.
As the preferable technical scheme, the carburizing agent adopted in the carburizing atmosphere is one or more of methanol, ethane, propane, ethanol, propanol and ethyl acetate.

As the preferable material of the technical scheme, the low-carbon low-alloy steel bit leg bearing is ZG20CrNiMo alloy, and comprises the following components in percentage by weight: 0.17% -0.21% of C;0.9% -1.1% Cr;0.6% -0.9% Ni;0.25% -0.35% Mo;0.60% -0.90% Mn;0.17% -0.37% Si; s is less than or equal to 0.025 percent; p less than or equal to 0.025%; less than or equal to 0.20 percent of Cu and the balance of Fe.

the invention solves the problem that the casting of the low-carbon low-alloy steel bit leg bearing cannot consider both the plasticity and the toughness of the matrix and the surface wear resistance, and ensures the plasticity and the toughness of the matrix of the casting of the low-carbon low-alloy bit leg bearing, so that the casting has better service performance when being acted by complex impact load. In addition, the hardness and depth of the hard layer on the surface of the bit leg bearing are obviously improved, and the wear resistance of the bit leg bearing is greatly improved. In addition, the high-frequency induction quenching of the surface of the bit leg bearing can lead the surface of the bit leg bearing to form larger residual compressive stress, thereby improving the fatigue resistance of the bit leg bearing. In one aspect, for a rolling bit leg bearing, surface residual compressive stress can increase rolling bit leg bearing surface contact fatigue strength. On the other hand, for a sliding bit leg bearing, the surface residual compressive stress can reduce the detrimental effects of the sliding adhesion notch on fatigue performance. The usability of the bit leg bearing is greatly improved.

Detailed Description
For a better understanding of the present invention, the following examples are further illustrative of the present invention, but the contents of the present invention are not limited to the following examples only.
The as-cast bit leg bearings carburized in the examples and comparative examples of the present invention were cast by a conventional casting process and machined to a material grade ZG20CrNiMo, with typical compositions in weight percent: 0.17-0.21% C;0.9-1.1% Cr;0.6-0.9% Ni;0.25-0.35% Mo;0.60-0.90% Mn;0.17-0.37% Si; s is less than or equal to 0.025 percent; p less than or equal to 0.025%; less than or equal to 0.20 percent of Cu and the balance of Fe. However, the material of the bit leg bearing in the present invention is not limited thereto, and other low carbon and low alloy materials may be used.
The method for carrying out heat treatment on the bit leg bearing casting with the material grade of ZG20CrNiMo comprises the following steps:
carburizing: placing the cast-state bit leg bearing in a carburizing furnace, and performing carburizing treatment under a carburizing atmosphere with the carbon concentration of 0.90-1.30%;
and (3) integral quenching: placing the carburized bit leg bearing in a quenching furnace with controllable atmosphere, heating to 870-890 ℃ in the atmosphere with the carbon concentration of 0.4-0.6%, preserving heat, immediately immersing in quenching oil after discharging from the furnace, and cooling for 20-30 minutes;

surface induction hardening: and (3) placing the high-temperature tempered bit leg bearing on induction quenching equipment, and enabling the bit leg bearing and an induction coil to move at a relative speed of 2-4mm/s under the power of 5-7KHz, and synchronously spraying water to cool the coil until surface quenching is finished. The adoption of the power and the moving speed can ensure that the depth of the induction hardening layer is higher than that of the carburized layer.
Tempering at low temperature; and (3) placing the bearing leg bearing with the surface induction quenching in a tempering furnace, heating to 180-200 ℃, preserving heat, discharging, and air-cooling to room temperature.
According to the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention, the carburization treatment process for the as-cast bit leg bearing with the material brand ZG20CrNiMo comprises the following steps:
a. placing the cast-state bit leg bearing in a carburizing furnace, and performing strong carburizing treatment under the carburizing atmosphere with the carbon concentration of 1.20-1.30% and the temperature of 920-940 ℃;
b. c, performing diffusion treatment on the bearing leg treated in the step a under the carburizing atmosphere with the carbon concentration of 0.90-1.10% and the temperature of 890-910 ℃;
c. b, cooling the bearing leg treated in the step b to below 300 ℃ in a nitrogen protection atmosphere, discharging the bearing leg, and cooling to room temperature in an air way;
in the above carburizing treatment, the carbon concentration in step a is preferably 1.25%, and the carbon concentration in step b is preferably 1.0%. In the step c, nitrogen with the purity of 99.8% is filled in a cooling device to cool the bit leg bearing. The carburizing agent adopted in the carburizing atmosphere is any one or more of methanol, ethane, propane, ethanol, propanol and ethyl acetate.
Step a is a strong infiltration process, wherein carbon atoms can be fully diffused to the surface of the bit leg bearing, so that a carburized layer with a certain depth is formed on the surface; step b, reducing the carbon concentration in the carburizing atmosphere, so that the carbon gradient of the carburized layer of the bit leg bearing is more gentle, the hardness gradient of the final carburized layer is improved, the residual austenite content of the carburized layer after quenching is reduced, and the risk of microcrack formation on the near surface of the bit leg bearing under high carbon and high hardness is reduced; and c, cooling under the protection of nitrogen, so that the surface decarburization of the carburized layer can be reduced.
According to the invention, after carburization, the bit leg bearing is subjected to integral quenching: and (3) placing the carburized bit leg bearing in a quenching furnace, heating to 870-890 ℃, keeping the temperature, discharging, immersing in quenching oil, and cooling for 20-30 minutes, wherein the stirring speed of the quenching oil is 800-900 revolutions per minute. The carbon concentration is maintained when the quenching and the heat preservation are ensured, and the decarburization in the quenching and the heat preservation process of the carburized surface can be reduced.
After the integral quenching, the bearing of the bit leg is subjected to high-temperature tempering treatment, and is put into a box tempering furnace to be tempered at high temperature under the protection of nitrogen. The high-temperature tempering heat preservation temperature is 570-590 ℃, and the high-temperature tempering heat preservation is finished, and the furnace outlet air cooling is finished. The integral quenching and high temperature tempering treatment improves the plasticity and toughness of the core part of the bit leg. At the moment, the core metallographic phase of the bit leg bearing mainly comprises tempered sorbite and ferrite tissues, the metallographic phase of the carburized layer mainly comprises tempered sorbite, and a certain amount of residual austenite exists.
After high-temperature tempering, the bit leg bearing is subjected to high-frequency induction quenching on the carburized layer surface layer. The induction coil is 3-5mm away from the outer circle surface of the bit leg bearing, the heating frequency is 5-7KHz, and the coil and the bit leg bearing relatively move at the speed of 2-4 mm/s. Meanwhile, tap water at 20-50 ℃ is sprayed from the coil at the rear side of the induction coil, and the heated part on the bit leg bearing is subjected to uninterrupted spray quenching synchronously until the surface induction quenching heating is completed. The depth of the surface induction quenching hardening layer is ensured to be higher than that of the carburized layer by controlling the power and the moving speed, so that the hardness of the hardening layer changes in a gradient way along with the gradient change of carbon.
And after the surface induction quenching is finished, carrying out low-temperature tempering on the bit leg bearing. The low-temperature tempering and heat preserving temperature is 180-190 ℃, and the heat preserving is finished and the furnace outlet air cooling is carried out.
In the carburizing treatment process, the carburizing heat-preserving time and the carbon concentration can be adjusted according to the requirement. The whole quenching, high temperature tempering and low temperature tempering heat preservation time can be determined according to the size of the bit leg bearing and the charging amount, and belongs to the conventional technical means of the person skilled in the art.

Placing the integrally quenched bit leg bearing in a tempering furnace, heating to 580 ℃ under the protection of nitrogen, preserving heat for 4 hours, discharging and air cooling;
(4) Surface induction hardening
As shown in fig. 2, the leg bearing after the high temperature tempering is placed on the rotating shaft of the induction hardening apparatus, and the induction coil is disposed along the outer surface of the leg bearing and is stationary. The induction coil heating frequency was set at 15KHz and the rotational shaft rotational speed was set so that the bit leg bearing surface rotated relative to the induction coil at a speed of 3 mm/s. In the heating process, tap water at 20-30 ℃ is sprayed on the rear side of the induction coil to synchronously quench the part of the bearing surface of the bit leg which is just heated;
(5) Low temperature tempering
And (3) placing the bearing leg bearing with the surface induction quenching in a tempering furnace, heating to 190 ℃, preserving heat for 4 hours, discharging and air cooling.
Sample testing was performed on the heat treated leg bearings of examples and comparative examples 1-3, with specific sample results shown in Table 1.
TABLE 1 plasticity and toughness of bit leg bearing substrates after heat treatment of examples and comparative examples of the present invention
The results of fig. 1 show that the hardness and depth of the hardened layer of an as-cast bit leg bearing is higher than the bit leg bearing surface of a conventional bit leg bearing carburization + bulk quench + low temperature tempering process (comparative example 1). Referring to table 1 in fig. 1, after the heat treatment of carburization, integral quenching and high temperature tempering, the base of the bit leg bearing in comparative example 2 has plasticity and toughness comparable to those of the example, but the hardness of the hardened layer of the bit leg bearing surface is too low, which greatly reduces the wear resistance of the bit leg bearing. In addition, fig. 1 also shows that, when the induction hardening layer cannot completely cover the carburized layer (comparative example 3) during the surface induction hardening process after carburization, integral quenching and high temperature tempering, a steep drop in hardness occurs at the induction hardening layer and non-induction hardening interface, and when the hardness is distributed on the bearing surface of the bit leg, early cracking and flaking occur on the bearing surface of the bit leg during use. Particularly when applied to rolling bit leg bearings, rolling fatigue failure of the bit leg bearing can be easily caused if the interface occurs at the maximum dynamic shear stress used by the rolling bearing. That is, by adopting the heat treatment process, the problem of insufficient toughness of the base body of the bit leg bearing casting is solved, and meanwhile, the depth and the hardness of a hardening layer on the surface of the bit leg bearing casting can be remarkably improved, and the wear resistance and the fatigue resistance of the bit leg bearing are further improved.
The foregoing description of the preferred embodiments of the invention is not intended to be limiting, but rather is intended to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and principles of the invention.
