Description

Accurate 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 an accurate 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 important fields such as national defense war industry, engineering machinery, mining and metallurgy engineering, rail transit and the like. With the development of the important fields towards heavy load, high speed and long service life, the required low-carbon low-alloy and high-strength thin steel plate also needs to develop towards the directions of large scale, complex structure, integrated form, light material and accurate quality. The more severe requirements are put on each performance index of the steel plate: the product has the conventional properties of high strength, easy welding and the like, and has the apparent properties 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 is necessary to heat treat it. Further, the steel sheet is rapidly quenched and cooled in the quenching stage of the final heat treatment process to obtain a fully martensitic structure, thereby ensuring that the steel sheet has 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 extremely easy to generate in the rapid quenching stage of the heat treatment process. By adopting conventional water-penetrating free quenching, the thin steel plate is easy to generate serious deformation such as tortoise back, bulge, warping and the like, usually needs post-treatment for correction, and the low-carbon low-alloy high-strength thin steel plate is high in strength after heat treatment, and can obtain a required plate shape after repeated correction, polishing and fire correction of the low-carbon low-alloy thin steel plate after heat treatment. However, after repeated correction and grinding, the steel plate generates larger residual stress, and various properties of the thin plate, especially fatigue properties, are 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 this, the present invention has been made.

Detailed Description
The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in connection with the embodiments, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the invention.
The accurate heat treatment method of the low-carbon low-alloy high-strength thin steel plate provided by the invention comprises the following steps of:
and (a) annealing treatment, namely converting the structure of the steel plate into ferrite and pearlite structures.
In the step, the structure of the annealed steel plate is changed into uniform ferrite and pearlite structure, so that the composition and 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) an austenitizing treatment to transform the ferrite and pearlite structure in step (a) into an austenite structure.
In this step, the steel sheet structure after the austenitizing treatment is transformed from ferrite and pearlite after the annealing treatment to an austenite structure, and a structure preparation is made for the clamp quenching treatment in step (c).
And (c) a clamping quenching treatment, namely converting the austenitic structure in the step (b) into a martensitic structure, wherein the clamping force of the steel plate is changed.
In this step, the structure of the steel sheet is entirely transformed from austenite to martensite during the austenitizing treatment, and the steel sheet is allowed to freely expand and contract while being restrained from deformation during the clamping quenching treatment by the adjustment of the clamping force of the steel sheet.
The pressure variable clamping scheme can limit the deformation of the steel plate by the conventional free quenching cooling method and avoid the surface defects such as indentation, scratch and the like of the conventional constant clamping force quenching cooling method. Analysis of the quenching process of the steel plate shows that the steel plate is mainly divided into the following three stages in the clamping quenching process:
(1) Preliminary setting stage: the austenitic supercooling zone is treated by the steel plate in the stage, the strength is low, the plasticity is good, only thermal stress is generated, and the steel plate in the stage is contracted from the periphery of the steel plate to the core of the steel plate due to cooling shrinkage, so that continuously smaller clamping force (the specific clamping force varies with the treated steel plate) can be applied to limit deformation and avoid indentation defects on the surface of the steel plate in the stage, and meanwhile, the steel plate can be contracted towards the core to avoid the defects such as scratches and surface tensile stress caused by overlarge clamping force.
(2) Cooling and shape control: the steel plate structure is changed from austenite to martensite, the steel plate strength is increased, meanwhile, the structural stress and the thermal stress are generated, the stress is larger, the steel plate shape control key stage is that the steel plate is cooled in the stage to cause the steel plate to shrink from the periphery of the steel plate to the core of the steel plate, the steel plate is changed from austenite to martensite to expand in volume, the steel plate expands from the core of the steel plate to the periphery of the steel plate, and the austenite and the martensite can offset the parts, so that larger clamping force (the size of the specific clamping force is different according to the processed steel plate) can be applied in the stage to prevent the steel plate from deforming.
(3) Dimensional stabilization stage: the steel plate structure is martensite at this stage, the steel plate strength is high, but the temperature difference still exists between the inside and outside of the steel plate, and the heat stress is generated by continuous cooling, so that relatively large stress (the specific clamping force is different according to the processed steel plate) is applied at this stage to prevent the steel plate from deforming.
And (d) tempering treatment, wherein the martensitic structure in the step (c) is transformed into a tempered martensitic structure.
In the step, the steel plate is transformed from a martensitic structure into tempered martensite or tempered sorbite, so that the steel plate obtains better toughness and comprehensive performance matching.
In a preferred embodiment, in the clamping quenching treatment in the step (c), the clamping force may be applied in the following manner:
the clamping force in the stage (1) is the maximum value of the deformation force in the austenitic 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 martensitic structure stage.
Specifically, the change of the clamping force is six-stage clamping, namely the clamping force changed to the stage (1), the clamping force maintenance of the stage (1), the clamping force changed to the stage (2), the clamping force maintenance of the stage (2), the clamping force changed to the stage (3) and the clamping force maintenance of the stage (3), wherein the conversion of the clamping forces is changed in a way as fast as possible, and the conversion of the clamping forces is particularly adjustable according to the performance of the quenching equipment used.
In a preferred embodiment, the preparation work is as follows before the steel sheet is precisely heat treated:
(i) The isothermal transformation curve and the continuous cooling transformation curve of the steel plate are obtained, so that the minimum cooling speed, the austenite finish transformation temperature, the bainite start transformation temperature, the martensite finish transformation temperature and other key transformation temperatures of a full martensitic structure are obtained, and the heating temperature and the tapping cooling temperature of annealing treatment in the step (a), the heating temperature of austenitizing treatment in the step (b), the water cooling temperature in the step (c) and the like of the high-strength steel plate are guided to be optimized based on a physicochemical test and a data simulation process.
(ii) And obtaining optimized quenching process parameters of the steel plate by using a numerical simulation method, wherein the process parameters are used for converting the steel plate into a full martensitic structure, namely obtaining the parameters such as water spraying flow, water spraying pressure and the like, wherein the minimum cooling speed of the steel plate is larger than the minimum cooling speed of the full martensitic structure.
(iii) And (3) determining the deformation force evolution process of the steel plate in the quenching process by using a numerical simulation method, thereby determining the deformation force in the stages (1) - (3).
In a preferred embodiment, the operation of the clamp quenching treatment in step (c) comprises: the clamped steel plate is quenched at a water spray flow rate and a water spray pressure corresponding to a minimum cooling rate greater than the martensitic structure, and cooled to a temperature T4 lower than the martensite finish transition temperature. The temperature T4 is preferably at least 50-80 ℃ below the martensite finish transition temperature, and the temperature T4 may be, but is not limited to, at least 50 ℃, 55 ℃, 60 ℃, 65 ℃, 70 ℃, 75 ℃ or 80 ℃ below the martensite finish transition temperature.
In a preferred embodiment, the annealing in step (a) comprises: the steel sheet is heated to a temperature T1 above the austenite finish transformation temperature for a holding time T1 and then cooled to a temperature T2 below the bainite start transformation temperature. The temperature T1 is preferably 80-100deg.C above the austenite finish transition temperature, such as 80 ℃, 85 ℃, 90 ℃, 95 ℃, or 100 ℃, etc.; the time t1 is preferably 1.5 to 5 times the millimeter thickness of the steel plate, and it is noted that the time t1 is made in minutes, for example, if the thickness of the steel plate is 10mm, the time t1 is 15 to 50 minutes; the temperature T2 is preferably at least 80-100 c below the bainite start transition temperature, such as 80 c, 85 c, 90 c, 95 c or 100 c, etc.
In a preferred embodiment, the operation of the austenitizing treatment in step (b) comprises: the steel sheet is heated to a temperature T3 above the austenite finish transition temperature for a hold time T2. The temperature T3 is preferably 30-80 ℃ higher than the austenite finish transition temperature, for example 30 ℃, 35 ℃, 40 ℃, 45 ℃, 50 ℃, 55 ℃, 60 ℃, 65 ℃, 70 ℃, 75 ℃ or 80 ℃, and the time T2 is preferably 1.5-2 times the millimeter thickness of the steel sheet.
In a preferred embodiment, the tempering treatment in step (d) comprises: heating the steel plate to 180-680 ℃, and preserving heat for t3, wherein the time t3 is 10-30 times of the millimeter thickness of the steel plate. The heating temperature of the steel sheet may be, but not limited to, 180 ℃, 280 ℃, 380 ℃, 480 ℃, 580 ℃, or 680 ℃.

The invention is further illustrated by the following examples. The materials in the examples were prepared according to the existing methods or were directly commercially available unless otherwise specified.
Examples
The dimensions of the low-carbon low-alloy steel sheet are shown in FIG. 1, and the steel sheet is 12000mm long, 2000mm wide and 10mm thick. The chemical compositions of the steel sheets are shown in Table 1.
TABLE 1 chemical composition (weight fraction, wt%) of low carbon low alloy steel sheet

0.28 0.2~0.5 0.75~1.1 0.75~1.1 1-1.3 0.25~0.45
The process optimization (first stage) based on physicochemical experiments and numerical simulation comprises the following steps:
step 1, obtaining a continuous cooling transition curve (figure 4) and an isothermal transition curve (figure 5) of a low-carbon low-alloy high-strength steel plate material through a physicochemical experiment; thus, the austenitic steel sheet material can be obtainedThe volume end transformation temperature is 820 ℃, the bainite start transformation temperature is 500 ℃, the martensite start transformation temperature is 340 ℃, the martensite end transformation temperature is 200 ℃, and the minimum cooling speed V of the full martensitic structure is obtained Temporary face (L) 40 ℃/s.
Step 2, obtaining optimized quenching process parameters of the low-carbon low-alloy thin steel plate by using a numerical simulation method; three quenching process schemes are designed, namely a quenching process scheme I: quenching flow rate is 5L/m 2 * s, the quenching pressure is 0.2MPa; the quenching process scheme II is as follows: quenching flow rate is 10L/m 2 * s, the quenching pressure is 0.2MPa; and a quenching process scheme III: quenching flow is 15L/m 2 * s, the quenching pressure is 0.2MPa. The temperature change curve of the core part of the steel plate with time under different quenching process schemes is shown in fig. 6.
As can be seen from the above, the quenching process scheme is 5L/m 2 * s, the cooling rate of the core of the steel sheet is about 25 ℃ per second, which is less than the minimum cooling rate V for the continuous cooling transition curve in step 1 to obtain a fully martensitic structure Temporary face (L) 40 ℃/s, so that the steel plate cannot obtain the required martensitic structure under the quenching process condition; the quenching process scheme is 10L/m 2 * s, the cooling rate of the core of the steel sheet is about 48 ℃/s, which is slightly greater than the minimum cooling rate V for the continuous cooling transition curve in step 1 to achieve a fully martensitic structure Temporary face (L) 40 ℃/s, so that the steel plate can obtain the required martensitic structure under the process condition; the quenching process scheme is 20L/m 2 * s, the cooling rate of the core of the steel sheet is about 98 ℃/s, which is greater than the minimum cooling rate V for the continuous cooling transition curve in step 1 to obtain a fully martensitic structure Temporary face (L) At 40 deg.c/s, the steel sheet may obtain a desired martensitic structure under the process conditions.
