Description

Cast steel material, coupler knuckle, preparation method of coupler knuckle and railway vehicle
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of alloys, in particular to a cast steel material, a coupler knuckle, a preparation method of the coupler knuckle and a railway vehicle.
Background
In recent years, with the continuous progress of the 'heavy load' of the rail wagons in the world, the requirements on the manufacturing quality of the whole wagon and parts of the rail wagons are higher and higher. Internationally, the Australian force development company is the top of world iron ore production, and the Q series 40-ton axle weight stainless steel ore vehicle which is started by the Australian force development company is the current railway wagon with the largest axle weight and traction tonnage in the world, the train marshalling number is 240, the load is 139.5 tons, and the traction tonnage is 3.8 ten thousand tons. The full-automatic unmanned train is formally put into operation, and provides unprecedented challenges for the requirement of the operational reliability of the whole train. From domestic perspective, the Daqin line with the highest heavy load degree has already opened a 30-ton truck with a shaft weight, two-ten-thousand tons of traction tonnage and 4 hundred million tons of annual capacity. The coupler knuckle is used as an important connecting part of a coupler buffering part of a railway wagon, bears large tensile stress and impact stress during the running of the wagon, is a weak part of the coupler buffering part of the wagon, and is easy to break during the running. As the operating conditions of the large-axle-weight railway wagon and the operating conditions of the coupler knuckle are further worsened, the random and alternating forces applied to the coupler knuckle are increasingly greater in application, and the problem of fatigue fracture of the coupler knuckle is increasingly prominent and becomes the main mode of coupler knuckle failure. The existing coupler knuckle product can not meet the use requirements of heavy-duty trains, and the interchangeability of a hook buffer part is considered, and the structure of the hook buffer part can not be greatly changed, so that the research is started from the material perspective and is an effective way for prolonging the service life of the coupler knuckle. From the material aspect, the reason for the generation of the knuckle fatigue source is the poor overall toughness of the knuckle cast steel material or the insufficient material strength reserve.
Based on the above consideration, on the premise of meeting a certain strength requirement, the effort of improving the plasticity and toughness of the knuckle material is an effective way to improve the fatigue life of the knuckle. Based on the above situation and in combination with the performance standard of the current coupler knuckle material, the mechanical performance index of the new material coupler knuckle is determined and is shown in table 1.
TABLE 1
Figure BDA0004009253870000011
From the new standard in table 1 above compared to the AAR standard: the strength index and the elongation index are improved by 15 percent, the elongation is improved by 33 percent, and the impact energy is improved by 1.5 times.
It is known that the strength and ductility of a material are in contradiction, and the higher the strength, the lower the ductility index of the material, and vice versa. Therefore, to meet such high new standard requirements, the mechanical properties of the knuckle of the new material must be improved.
At present, the manufacturing process of the coupler knuckle product of the railway freight car in China is a process for integral molding through molding, core making, smelting, pouring and cleaning. The material is E-grade cast steel meeting AAR standard, and the heat treatment process is hardening and tempering. The mechanical property detection data of the material after heat treatment are shown in Table 2.
TABLE 2
Figure BDA0004009253870000021
The average tensile strength of the average performance of the material of the E-grade cast steel coupler knuckle in the table 2 is 878MPa, the average yield strength is 776MPa, and the average V-notch impact energy at minus 40 ℃ is 44.7J. Therefore, the knuckle material has lower tensile strength, yield strength and impact property, and does not meet the requirement of mechanical property indexes of new materials.

Detailed Description
It should be noted that the embodiments and features of the embodiments in the present application may be combined with each other without conflict. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings in conjunction with embodiments.
The invention provides a cast steel material, which aims to solve the problem that the cast steel material cannot meet the requirement of a coupler knuckle of a railway vehicle due to the fact that the cast steel material cannot give consideration to higher yield strength, tensile strength and better impact property.
The cast steel material comprises the following components in percentage by weight: 0.18 to 0.23 percent of C, 0.20 to 0.40 percent of Si,0.85 to 1.10 percent of Mn,0 to 0.015 percent of P, 0 to 0.015 percent of S, 1.00 to 1.20 percent of Cr, 0.95 to 1.05 percent of Ni,0.40 to 0.80 percent of Mo, 0.020 to 0.050 percent of Al, 0 to 0.20 percent of Cu, 0.040 to 0.090 percent of V, 0.020 to 0.070 percent of Nb,0.020 to 0.050 percent of Ti, and the balance of Fe and inevitable impurities.
It should be noted that, in order to improve and enhance the strength of the steel and simultaneously give consideration to the ductility and toughness, elements such as C, si, mn, cr, ni, mo, V, ti, nb, al, etc. are added into the steel during the smelting process. Wherein the content of the first and second substances,
the C and Si function to form solid solution structure and carbide structure, which can be dissolved in ferrite and austenite to improve the hardness and strength of the steel. Carbon is dissolved in the structures of ferrite, cementite, and the like in the steel. The higher the carbon content is, the higher the strength and hardness of the steel are, but the plasticity and toughness are also reduced; conversely, the lower the carbon content, the higher the plasticity and toughness of the steel, and the lower the strength and hardness. Silicon can promote the growth of columnar crystal in cast steel and reduce plasticity. Silicon can reduce the weldability of the steel. In the application, the weldability of cast steel is considered, the carbon equivalent cannot be too high, so the carbon content and the silicon content are controlled to be as low as possible, and therefore, the C is controlled to be 0.18-0.23 percent, and the Si is controlled to be 0.20-0.40 percent.
Mn is a good deoxidizer and desulfurizer. The steel generally contains a certain amount of manganese which eliminates or reduces the hot brittleness of the steel due to sulfur, thereby improving the hot workability of the steel. Solid solution formed by manganese and iron improves the hardness and strength of ferrite and austenite in the steel; meanwhile, the manganese is an element formed by carbide, enters cementite to replace part of iron atoms, and plays a role in refining pearlite due to the fact that the critical transformation temperature of the manganese in steel is reduced, and also indirectly plays a role in improving the strength of pearlite steel. The ability of manganese to stabilize austenite structure is second only to nickel, and the hardenability of steel is also strongly increased, controlling manganese at 0.85-1.10%.
Cr, ni and Mo in steel are main alloy elements, wherein Cr can increase the hardenability of the steel and has the function of secondary hardening, and the hardness and the wear resistance of carbon steel can be improved without embrittling the steel. The steel has better comprehensive mechanical property after quenching and tempering, and chromium-containing carbide can be formed in the carburizing steel, so that the wear resistance of the surface of the material is improved. Ni strengthens ferrite and refines pearlite in steel, and has the overall effect of improving the strength of the steel and simultaneously having less influence on the toughness, plasticity and other process performance of the steel than other alloy elements. Mo can improve hardenability and heat strength in steel and prevent temper brittleness. In the quenched and tempered steel, molybdenum can enable parts with larger sections to be quenched deeply and thoroughly, improve the tempering resistance or tempering stability of the steel, enable the parts to be tempered at higher temperature, further effectively eliminate or reduce residual stress, improve plasticity, and control Cr to be 1.00-1.20%, ni to be 0.95-1.05% and Mo to be 0.40-0.80% by combining the action with other elements.
In the application, V, ti and Nb are important micro-alloying elements. V has strong affinity with carbon and oxygen to form corresponding stable compounds. Vanadium is mainly present in steel in the form of carbides. The main function of the steel is to refine the structure and the crystal grains of the steel and reduce the strength and the toughness of the steel. When the solid solution is dissolved at a high temperature, hardenability is increased, and the weldability of the steel is improved. Ti has strong affinity with nitrogen, oxygen and carbon, has stronger affinity with sulfur than iron, is one of strong ferrite forming elements, and strongly improves A of steel 1 And A 3 And (3) temperature. Titanium can improve plasticity and toughness in low alloy steel. Since titanium fixes nitrogen and sulfur and forms titanium carbide, the strength of the steel is improved at the same time. The grains are refined through normalizing, and carbide is precipitated to improve the plasticity and impact toughness of steel obviously. Nb has a solid-solution strengthening effect, and when dissolved into austenite in the form of carbide and oxide particles, it refines crystal grains and reduces the hardenability of the steel. The trace amount of niobium can improve the strength of the steel without affecting the plasticity or toughness of the steel. Due to the function of refining crystal grains, the impact toughness of the steel can be improved, and the brittle transition temperature of the steel can be reduced. Fully taking into account in steelThe effects are that V is controlled to be 0.040-0.090%, ti is controlled to be 0.020-0.050%, and Nb is controlled to be 0.020-0.070%.
Al is mainly used to deoxidize and refine grains. Aluminum can inhibit aging of low-carbon steel and improve toughness of the steel at low temperature. The aluminum has large solid solution strengthening effect in steel, improves the wear resistance, fatigue strength and core mechanical property of carburizing steel, is similar to microalloying elements, is not easy to be too high, can reduce the high-temperature strength and toughness of the carburizing steel, and brings a plurality of difficulties to smelting, pouring and the like, so that the Al element is controlled to be 0.020-0.050%.
S and P in the application are harmful elements in steel, and need to be controlled due to large influence on the quality of the steel. S is severely segregated in the steel, deteriorates the quality of the steel and reduces the plasticity of the steel at high temperature. P segregation is severe, increasing temper brittleness, significantly increasing the plasticity and toughness of the steel, so that the steel is susceptible to embrittlement during cold working, a phenomenon known as "cold embrittlement". Phosphorus also has a detrimental effect on weldability. S and P are both harmful elements. The Cu element in the cast steel exceeds 0.30 percent, so that the cast steel generates a hot cracking tendency and the quality in the steel is influenced, but the smelting equipment level and the source control of smelting raw materials are considered, the performance of the cast steel is ensured, and the Cu in the steel is controlled to be not higher than 0.20 percent. P and S are controlled to be not higher than 0.015%.
Therefore, the railway vehicle coupler knuckle made of the cast steel material can achieve the effects of high yield strength, high tensile strength and high impact performance, so that the requirement of the railway vehicle coupler knuckle can be met, and the problem that the requirement of the railway vehicle coupler knuckle cannot be met due to the fact that the cast steel material cannot achieve the effects of high yield strength, high tensile strength and high impact performance in the prior art can be solved.
Preferably, the cast steel material comprises, in weight percent: 0.19 to 0.22 percent of C, 0.23 to 0.38 percent of Si,0.87 to 1.05 percent of Mn,0.007 to 0.013 percent of P, 0.010 to 0.013 percent of S, 1.02 to 1.14 percent of Cr, 0.96 to 1.05 percent of Ni,0.42 to 0.75 percent of Mo, 0.023 to 0.050 percent of Al, 0.09 to 0.14 percent of Cu, 0.047 to 0.086 percent of V, 0.028 to 0.065 percent of Nb,0.026 to 0.048 percent of Ti, and the balance of Fe and inevitable impurities. In order to consider the good weldability of cast steel, the carbon equivalent must not be too high, so the carbon content and the silicon content must be controlled as low as possible, and therefore, the C content is controlled to 0.19 to 0.22%, and the Si content is controlled to 0.23 to 0.38%. The capability of manganese for stabilizing austenite structure is close to that of nickel, the good hardenability of steel is also strongly improved, and the manganese is controlled to be 0.87-1.05%. In order to further improve the wear resistance of the surface of the material by Cr, the Cr is controlled to be 1.02-1.14%, the Ni is controlled to be 0.96-1.05% as less as possible to have less influence on the toughness, plasticity and other process performance of steel than other alloy elements while the strength of the steel is improved; mo can further improve hardenability and heat strength in steel, prevent tempering brittleness, and control Mo at 0.42-0.75%; v satisfies the requirements of refining the structure and the crystal grains of the steel, further reduces the strength and the toughness of the steel, and controls the V to be 0.047-0.086%; in order to effectively avoid the phenomenon that the Cu element exceeds 0.30 percent in the cast steel, which causes the cast steel to generate a hot cracking tendency and affects the quality in the steel, and consider the smelting equipment level and the source control of smelting raw materials to ensure the good performance of the cast steel, the Cu is controlled to be 0.09-0.14 percent, the S is controlled to be 0.010-0.013 percent, and the P is controlled to be 0.007-0.013 percent.
Preferably, the cast steel material comprises, in weight percent: 0.20 to 0.22 percent of C, 0.23 to 0.34 percent of Si,0.92 to 1.02 percent of Mn,0.009 to 0.013 percent of P, 0.010 to 0.013 percent of S, 1.02 to 1.09 percent of Cr, 0.98 to 1.05 percent of Ni,0.43 to 0.75 percent of Mo, 0.037 to 0.050 percent of Al, 0.09 to 0.14 percent of Cu, 0.057 to 0.086 percent of V, 0.028 to 0.065 percent of Nb,0.026 to 0.046 percent of Ti, and the balance of Fe and inevitable impurities. In order to take good weldability of cast steel into consideration, the carbon equivalent must not be too high, and therefore the carbon content and the silicon content must be kept low, and therefore, C is controlled to 0.20-0.22% and Si is controlled to 0.23-0.34%. The closer the manganese has to the nickel, the higher the hardenability of the steel is, and the manganese is controlled to be 0.92-1.02%. In order to ensure that the surface of the Cr material has high enough wear resistance, the Cr content is controlled to be 1.02-1.09%, the Ni is ensured to improve the strength of the steel, the damage to the toughness, the plasticity and other process performance of the steel is effectively reduced compared with the influence of other alloy elements, and the Ni content is controlled to be 0.98-1.05%; mo can greatly improve hardenability and heat strength in steel, prevent temper brittleness and control Mo to be 0.43-0.75%; v further refines the structure and the crystal grains of the steel, effectively reduces the strength and the toughness of the steel and controls V to be 0.057-0.086%.
Preferably, in order to have better overall properties in terms of yield strength, tensile strength, impact properties, etc., the cast steel material comprises, in weight percent: 0.20% of C, 0.30% of Si,0.98% of Mn,0.011% of P, 0.011% of S, 1.05% of Cr, 0.99% of Ni,0.47% of Mo, 0.050% of Al, 0.12% of Cu, 0.065% of V, 0.054% of Nb,0.034% of Ti, the balance Fe and unavoidable impurities; or 0.20% of C, 0.32% of Si,0.93% of Mn,0.009% of P, 0.011% of S, 1.07% of Cr, 1.05% of Ni,0.52% of Mo, 0.042% of Al, 0.09% of Cu, 0.065% of V, 0.065% of Nb,0.041% of Ti, the balance Fe and unavoidable impurities.
The cast steel material can be prepared into a rail vehicle coupler knuckle with good performance through a conventional process.
The application also provides a coupler knuckle which is made of the cast steel material. Therefore, the railway vehicle coupler knuckle made of the cast steel material can achieve high yield strength, high tensile strength and high impact performance, can meet the requirement of the railway vehicle coupler knuckle, and can solve the problem that the requirement of the railway vehicle coupler knuckle cannot be met due to the fact that the cast steel material cannot achieve high yield strength, high tensile strength and high impact performance in the prior art.
In order to obtain the coupler knuckle with better performance for the railway vehicle, the preparation method of the coupler knuckle can be optimized, and specifically comprises the steps of modeling, core making, smelting, pouring and cleaning in sequence, wherein the cast steel material is subjected to ingredient smelting in the smelting process.
Preferably, in order to obtain a cast steel material with high yield strength, tensile strength and better impact properties, the preparation method further comprises a heat treatment process after the cleaning step, wherein the heat treatment process comprises a preliminary normalizing process and a quenching and tempering process which are sequentially performed.
Preferably, in the pre-normalizing treatment process, the normalizing temperature is 950 +/-10 ℃, and the air cooling is carried out after the heat preservation is carried out for 3 to 4 hours; in the quenching and tempering treatment process, the quenching temperature is 870 +/-10 ℃, and the water cooling is carried out after the heat preservation is carried out for 2-3 hours. Therefore, the quenching and cooling process of the knuckle material in the process of preparing normalizing treatment is effectively controlled, and the performance of the material is excavated to the maximum extent.
Preferably, the water cooling process adopts water jet stirring for cooling, the duration time of the water cooling process is not less than 5 minutes, and the water temperature is not higher than 35 ℃; after the water cooling step, the heat treatment process further comprises a tempering step, wherein the tempering temperature is 630 +/-10 ℃. The tempering time is 3 to 4 hours. Thus, aiming at the coupler knuckle material which is just immersed and is at a higher temperature, the water jet is adopted for stirring and cooling to break through the air film on the surface of the quenched coupler knuckle, so that the coupler knuckle is directly contacted with cooling water, and the heat conductivity coefficient of water is obviously higher than that of air, so that the workpiece to be treated can be cooled more quickly, and the heat treatment effect of the coupler knuckle is ensured.
According to the application, the railway vehicle comprises the coupler knuckle, and the coupler knuckle is the coupler knuckle.
