Description

Precise heat treatment method for low-carbon low-alloy high-strength thin steel plate
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of material processing, in particular to a precise heat treatment method of a low-carbon low-alloy high-strength thin steel plate.
Background
The low-carbon low-alloy high-strength thin steel plate is widely applied to key fields of national defense war industry, engineering machinery, mining and metallurgy engineering, rail transit and the like. With the development of heavy-duty, high-speed and long-life in these key fields, the required low-carbon, low-alloy and high-strength thin steel plate also needs to be developed in the directions of large scale, complicated structure, integrated form, light weight of material and precise quality. The method puts forward more rigorous requirements on various performance indexes of the steel plate: the alloy not only needs to meet the conventional performances of high strength, easy welding and the like, but also needs to have the appearance performances of excellent plate shape, low residual stress, excellent surface quality and the like.
In order to obtain the desired properties of the low carbon low alloy high strength steel sheet, it must be heat treated. Further, the steel sheet is rapidly quenched and cooled in a quenching stage of the final heat treatment process to obtain a full martensite structure, thereby ensuring that the steel sheet obtains a desired strength and toughness. Because the low-carbon low-alloy high-strength thin steel plate has the characteristics of extremely large length (width) to thickness ratio, weak rigidity and the like, large quenching distortion is easily generated in the rapid quenching stage of the heat treatment process. The conventional water-through free quenching is adopted, the thin steel plate is easy to generate severe deformation such as tortoise back, bulge, warping and the like, and generally needs to be corrected by post-treatment, while the low-carbon low-alloy high-strength thin steel plate after heat treatment has high strength, and the required plate shape can be obtained after the low-carbon low-alloy thin steel plate after heat treatment needs to be corrected, polished and corrected by fire for many times. After many times of correction and grinding, the steel plate generates larger residual stress, and various properties of the thin plate, especially fatigue property, can be reduced, so that the service life of the thin steel plate is greatly shortened. By adopting constant clamping quenching, the thin steel plate is easy to generate defects such as local indentation, plastic deformation, microcrack and the like, the apparent quality of the thin steel plate is influenced, and even the thin steel plate is directly scrapped.
In view of the above, the present invention is particularly proposed.

Detailed Description
The technical solutions of the present invention will be described clearly and completely with reference to the following embodiments, and it should be apparent that the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
The invention provides a precise heat treatment method of a low-carbon low-alloy high-strength thin steel plate, which comprises the following steps of:
the annealing treatment of step (a) converts the structure of the steel sheet into ferrite and pearlite structures.
In the step, the structure of the annealed steel plate is changed into a uniform ferrite and pearlite structure, so that the components and the structure uniformity of the steel plate are improved, the uniformity of structure transformation in the step (c) is further improved, the structure stress is reduced, and the deformation of the steel plate is reduced.
And (b) carrying out austenitizing treatment to transform the ferrite and pearlite structures in the step (a) into austenite structures.
In this step, the structure of the austenitic steel sheet is transformed from ferrite and pearlite after annealing treatment to an austenitic structure, and is prepared for the structure of the pinch quenching treatment in step (c).
And (c) performing clamping quenching treatment to transform the austenite structure in the step (b) into a martensite structure, wherein the clamping force of the steel plate is changed.
In the step, the structure of the steel plate is completely changed into a martensite structure from austenite during austenitizing treatment, and the clamping force of the steel plate can be adjusted to ensure that the steel plate is limited from deforming and can freely stretch and contract during clamping quenching treatment.
The pressure-variable clamping scheme can limit the deformation of the conventional free quenching cooling method of the steel plate and can avoid surface defects such as indentation, scratch and the like of the conventional constant-clamping-force quenching cooling method. The quenching process analysis of the steel plate shows that the steel plate is mainly divided into the following three stages in the clamping quenching process:
(1) and (3) a primary setting stage: the steel plate at the stage is treated in an austenite undercooling area, the strength is low, the plasticity is good, only thermal stress is generated, and the steel plate shrinks from the periphery of the steel plate to the center of the steel plate due to cooling, so that continuous small clamping force (the specific clamping force is different along with the treated steel plate) can be applied to limit deformation and avoid indentation defects on the surface of the steel plate at the stage, and meanwhile, the steel plate can shrink towards the center to avoid the defects of scratches, surface tensile stress and the like caused by overlarge clamping force.
(2) And (3) cooling and shape control stage: in the stage, the steel plate structure is changed from austenite to martensite, the steel plate strength is increased, and meanwhile, the structure stress and the thermal stress are generated, the stress is larger and is the key stage of the shape control of the steel plate, in the stage, the steel plate is cooled to cause the steel plate to contract from the periphery of the steel plate to the center of the steel plate, the steel plate is changed from austenite to martensite to cause the volume expansion of the steel plate from the center of the steel plate to the periphery of the steel plate, and the steel plate and the martensite can offset each other, so that larger clamping force (the specific clamping force is different along with the treatment of the steel plate) can be applied to prevent the deformation of the steel plate in the stage.
(3) And (3) a dimensional stabilization stage: the steel plate structure is martensite at this stage, the strength of the steel plate is high, but the temperature difference still exists inside and outside the steel plate, and the steel plate is continuously cooled to generate thermal stress, so that relatively large stress (the specific clamping force is different along with the processed steel plate) is applied at this stage to prevent the steel plate from deforming.
Tempering treatment in step (d) to transform the martensitic structure in step (c) into a tempered martensitic structure.
In the step, the steel plate is converted from a martensite structure into tempered martensite or tempered sorbite, so that the steel plate obtains better comprehensive performance matching of strength and toughness.
In a preferred embodiment, in the step (c) of the clamp quenching treatment, the application of the clamping force may specifically adopt the following mode:
the clamping force in the stage (1) is the maximum value of the deformation force in the austenite structure stage;
the clamping force in the stage (2) is the maximum value of the deformation force in the austenite transformation martensite stage;
the clamping force in the stage (3) is the maximum value of the deformation force in the martensite structure stage.
Specifically, the change of the clamping force is six-stage clamping, which is respectively the clamping force changed to the stage (1), the clamping force maintenance of the stage (1), the clamping force changed to the stage (2) by the stage (1), the clamping force maintenance of the stage (2), the clamping force changed to the stage (3) by the stage (2) and the clamping force maintenance of the stage (3), wherein the switching of the clamping forces is switched in a manner as fast as possible, and particularly can be adjusted according to the performance of the quenching equipment used.
