Note that:
in the steps of the method for manufacturing the die steel according to the above embodiment,
in S3, molten steel is cast and molded by adopting a down-pouring method, and the down-pouring method is most suitable for the method after multiple tests, and the surface quality of the cast and molded molten steel is good;
in S4, the purity grade of the steel needs to meet the requirement of NADCA #207-2008 to reach the relevant standard;
and S7, in the process of six-side forging of the steel ingot, the total forging ratio is not less than 6, so that the steel ingot can be completely forged.
In addition, the applicant also performed a plurality of tests on various temperature and time values in the method steps of the first embodiment, the second embodiment and the third embodiment, specifically as follows:
in S5, stress relief annealing is carried out on the remelted steel ingot under the heat preservation condition of 760 ℃ or 820 ℃;
in S6, the steel ingot is diffused at 1250 ℃ or 1260 ℃ at high temperature;
in S7, open forging is carried out at the temperature of 1190 ℃ or 1220 ℃, and the finish forging temperature is 880 ℃ or 890 ℃;
in S8, the forged steel ingot or the forged steel ingot is subjected to heat preservation at 1010 ℃ or 1050 ℃ for 10 hours or 15 hours;
s9, charging at 300 ℃ or 500 ℃, heating to 820 ℃ or 840 ℃, preserving heat for 16 or 18 hours, cooling to 300 ℃ or 500 ℃, discharging and air cooling;
through multiple tests, a specific data range in S5-S8 is obtained, and when the die steel is manufactured by adopting the material proportion in the same embodiment, as long as the data of time, temperature and the like in S5-S8 do not exceed the range value, the performance indexes of the finally obtained die steel are the same or very similar; from this, it is found that, when producing die steel, various data in the processing step need only be set within a predetermined range of values.
The material proportion is used as a key for influencing the final performance of the die steel, so in the first embodiment, the second embodiment and the third embodiment, different material proportions are respectively adopted to produce the hot-working die steel, the obtained die steel is sampled to be subjected to performance testing, and the hardness, tempering resistance, toughness and high thermal stability of the finally obtained experimental result are all higher than those of H13 steel, so that the range of the material proportion of the die steel is determined, and if the range is exceeded, the experimental result has larger difference.
In addition, the specific material proportion of the materials in the embodiment is determined according to the action of each alloy element:
carbon [ C ]: carbon is one of the most important elements for improving the hardenability and the hardenability of the material, and alloy carbide can be formed to improve the wear resistance, but the addition amount is excessive, the quenching structure is high-carbon martensite, the brittleness is high, and therefore, the content of the carbon is controlled to be 0.35-0.4%.
Silicon [ Si ]: the silicon element is an effective element for improving the tempering resistance, and the content of the silicon element in the steel is improved, so that the decomposition of martensite in the tempering process of the steel is slowed down; in addition, silicon added into the steel grade plays a role in deoxidation, and also enters a matrix to play a role in solid solution strengthening, so that the strength and the wear resistance of the steel are improved; however, since segregation is likely to occur when the amount of Si added is too large, the Si content is controlled to 0.1 to 0.3%.
Manganese [ Mn ]: although the manganese element is a weak carbide forming element and cannot form a carbide strengthening effect, the addition of a certain amount of manganese element can promote the decomposition of cementite and delay the precipitation and growth of carbide, thereby being beneficial to the thermal stability of steel. In addition, the manganese element can cause the content of the residual austenite in the steel to be increased and stabilized, so that the toughness and the thermal fatigue resistance of the steel can be improved; however, if the amount of Mn is too large, the amount of retained austenite in the quenched structure becomes too large, and the wear resistance of the steel grade is adversely lowered, so that the Mn content is controlled to 0.4 to 0.6%.
Chromium [ Cr ]: cr mainly forms Cr23C6 type carbide in hot work die steel, plays a role in strengthening and improves the strength of the steel; chromium is added into the steel, so that the high-temperature performance can be improved, the stability of the structure and the performance at high temperature is ensured, the chromium is an element for reducing a gamma phase region, the addition amount is too much, and low-hardness ferrite is easy to appear in a quenching structure; moreover, chromium can also improve the brittle transition temperature of steel and promote the warm tempering brittleness of the steel, and the chromium content is controlled to be 5.0-5.2 percent in the invention.
Molybdenum [ Mo ]: molybdenum is added into the steel, which mainly improves the thermal stability and the tempering resistance of the steel, improves the thermal fatigue resistance of the steel and eliminates the tempering brittleness of the steel; when the molybdenum content is more, six phases or other brittle phases are easy to appear to reduce the toughness, promote the decarburization and reduce the heat conductivity, so the molybdenum content is controlled to be 1.8-2.0 percent.
Vanadium [ V ]: v has great affinity with O, N, so that the alloy can be deoxidized and degassed to obtain compact fine-grained structure, and the plasticity, toughness, strength and wear resistance are improved, but the alloy is not beneficial to carburization; v is a strong carbide element, and the common VC compound has high dispersity and is extremely stable; the VC dispersion prevents the growth of welding seam grains, so that the welding performance can be improved; vanadium improves the high-temperature creep deformation and the endurance strength of steel, and improves the heat strength of steel; the solid solution in austenite can improve the hardenability of steel, the compound state can reduce the hardenability of steel, the tempering stability of steel is improved, and the solid solution has strong secondary hardening effect and strong solid solution strengthening effect when being dissolved in ferrite; however, too much vanadium content is added to increase the toughness and plasticity of the steel and make machining difficult. Therefore, the content of vanadium is controlled between 0.6 and 0.8 percent.
Phosphorus [ P ]: harmful elements, which increase the brittle transition temperature of steel; the welding performance is deteriorated, the plasticity is reduced, the cold bending property is deteriorated, the tempering brittleness (tempering is separated along a grain boundary) is increased, and crystal grains are coarsened; the phosphorus content of the product is controlled to be 0.01-0.02%.
Sulfur [ S ]: harmful elements; the strength and toughness of the steel are reduced; the sulfur content in the hot work die steel is reduced as much as possible, the sulfur content in the product is controlled to be 0.0005-0.001%, and the sulfur content needs to be controlled to be not more than 0.001% when refining in an LF furnace in order to reduce toxicity.
It should be noted that in the prior art, nickel is generally used to improve strength, hardenability, plasticity and toughness, improve corrosion resistance of H13 steel, and nickel is used in combination with Cr and Mo to improve heat strength; however, the austenite phase region is easily expanded due to excessive addition of nickel, and the content of residual austenite is increased; therefore, the ratio of molybdenum is increased to replace nickel, so that the austenite content is reduced, and a better effect is achieved; and because nickel is removed, the proportion of vanadium is correspondingly adjusted.
In conclusion, compared with the existing H13 steel, the die steel disclosed by the invention has the advantages that the content of molybdenum is properly increased, the content of silicon, manganese and vanadium is reduced, and the performance of the die steel is improved through the reasonable proportion of the elements; referring to fig. 2-3, it can be seen from comparison of the die steel produced by the embodiment of the present invention with H13 steel that the impact resistance of the die steel of the present invention is significantly higher than H13 under the same hardness; and the purity is improved by matching with electroslag remelting, the uniformity is improved by six-face forging technology, the structure and crystal grains are refined by heat treatment, and finally the obtained die steel has high tempering resistance, high toughness, high strength and high thermal stability, the comprehensive performance is obviously improved, and the service life is prolonged by 30-200% compared with that of the common H13 steel.
The above description is only for the preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and any person skilled in the art should be considered to be within the technical scope of the present invention, and the technical solutions and the inventive concepts thereof according to the present invention should be equivalent or changed within the scope of the present invention.
