Description

Free-cutting low-expansion alloy and production method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of free-cutting alloys, in particular to a free-cutting low-expansion alloy and a production method thereof.
Background
Carbon fiber materials are widely used in the fields of aerospace, automobiles, decoration and the like as engineering materials with highest specific strength, and the demand is rapidly increased. The forming die is a key tool for manufacturing the carbon fiber component. The precision of the carbon fiber component is directly determined by the precision and expansion coefficient of the forming die, in order to ensure the precision requirement, a low expansion alloy 4J36 with the expansion coefficient identical to that of the carbon fiber component is generally adopted as a die material, and the expansion coefficient of the alloy is smaller than 1.5x10 according to the YB/T5241 standard requirement -6 and/C. Because the nickel content of the low-expansion alloy 4J36 is about 36%, the material has high viscosity and poor processing performance, and an ultra-fine polishing method is needed to achieve higher processing precision, but the method has long production period and high cost. If high-precision turning is adopted, the machining efficiency can be greatly improved, and the die cost is reduced, but the material viscosity is small, and the machining performance is high.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention discloses a free-cutting low-expansion alloy and a production method thereof, which aim to overcome the defects of high viscosity and poor processability of the existing low-expansion alloy 4J36 material and obviously improve the cutting performance of the low-expansion alloy on the premise of ensuring a lower linear expansion coefficient. In order to achieve the above purpose, the following technical scheme is adopted.
Free-cutting low expansion alloy chemical composition (weight percent): carbon: less than 0.08, manganese: 0.30 to 1.00, phosphorus: 0.01 to 0.10 percent, sulfur: 0.020 to 0.100, nickel: 33.5 to 35.5, cobalt: 0.3 to 1.5; wherein the sum of nickel and cobalt is 34.0-37.0, the ratio of manganese to sulfur is 6-15, and the balance is iron and unavoidable impurities.
The production method of the free-cutting low-expansion alloy comprises the following steps: intermediate frequency furnace smelting, LF furnace refining, continuous casting/die casting cogging, heating by a heating furnace and rolling;
the method comprises the following specific steps:
smelting in an intermediate frequency furnace: batching according to chemical components of the finished product, wherein the grain size of the raw materials is smaller than 100mm; melting raw materials by using an intermediate frequency furnace, and tapping after dissolving;
and (3) LF refining: adding ferromanganese after slag formation of molten steel, adjusting the manganese content to be within the range of 0.30% -1.00%, simultaneously meeting the manganese-sulfur ratio of 6-15, blowing argon to ensure that molten steel does not roll, and controlling alloying refining time to be 30-32 min;
continuous casting/die casting cogging: preparing a blank by adopting a continuous casting or die casting cogging mode;
heating by a heating furnace: heating the casting blank at 1200-1250 ℃ for 3-6 h, and then carrying out surface temperature raising heating: heating at 1230-1280 deg.c for 10-30 min;
and (5) rolling: adopting a recrystallization zone for rolling, and adopting the first 3 passes of anhydrous rolling to form a wire rod and bar straight strip product.
The invention is characterized in that:
the method comprises the following steps of:
carbon: carbon is the most basic element of steel materials, and in the present invention, carbon element is an unavoidable impurity element which cannot be removed, and exceeding 0.08% causes an increase in expansion coefficient, so that the carbon content is required to be less than 0.08%.
Manganese: manganese is an important constituent element of MnS inclusions in the invention, which is beneficial to improving the free cutting performance; when the manganese content is lower than 0.30%, the manganese sulfide is poorer in quantity and morphology; when the manganese content is higher than 1.00%, the expansion coefficient of the alloy is too high, and the expansion performance is destroyed, so that the manganese content is controlled within the range of 0.30-1.00%.
Phosphorus: the proper phosphorus can improve the free cutting performance, and if the phosphorus content is higher than 0.10%, cold shortness is generated, and the cutting performance is reduced, so that the phosphorus content is controlled to be 0.01% -0.10%.
Sulfur: sulfur is an effective free-cutting element, and can form manganese sulfide with manganese to change the morphology and distribution of inclusions; when the sulfur content is less than 0.02%, the above effect is not achieved; when the sulfur content exceeds 0.10%, the sulfur will be biased at grain boundaries to cause high-temperature brittleness, so that the sulfur content is controlled within the range of 0.02% -0.10%, and the manganese-sulfur ratio (Mn/S) is controlled to be 6-15.
Cobalt, nickel: converting the iron lattice into an austenite lattice, generating a magnetic lattice with a lattice constant of 3.54 angstroms and a free energy difference of 3.64 angstroms of 0.030 eV-0.040 eV, and continuously changing the phase of the two lattices within a temperature range of 0-100 ℃ to counteract the thermal expansion effect; nickel in the range of 33.5% to 35.5% and cobalt in the range of 0.3% to 1.5%, above or below this composition range will result in a free energy difference exceeding 0.030eV to 0.040eV, resulting in an expansion coefficient exceeding 1.5X10 -6 /℃。
(2) In the production method, the casting blank is heated for 3 to 6 hours at 1200 to 1250 ℃ and is subjected to surface temperature raising and heating: heating at 1230-1280 deg.c for 10-30 min, and raising the surface temperature to raise the toughness of the billet surface area and reduce the surface and end cracking risk of the billet.
The beneficial effects of the invention are as follows:
(1) By adding magnetic element cobalt, the energy difference of the high and low spin states of iron atoms is controlled, and the expansion coefficient in the temperature range of room temperature to 100 ℃ is controlled to be less than 1.5x10 -6
(2) The free-cutting elemental sulfur is added to ensure a certain manganese-sulfur ratio of 6-15, so that dispersed and beneficial spindle-shaped sulfides are formed in the steel, chips are easy to remove in cutting processing, the cutting performance is obviously improved, and the ratio of C-shaped chips is not less than 85% under the cutting working conditions that the cutting performance index is f= (0.06-0.09) mm/r and the rotating speed is (600-800) r/min;
according to the method, after the casting blank is heated, the surface of the casting blank is heated by heating, so that the problem of cracking of the end part of the steel rolled blank and the surface cracking is solved.
In a word, on the premise of ensuring the low linear expansion coefficient of the low-expansion alloy, the cutting performance of the alloy is obviously improved, the cuttings are efficiently cleaned, and the good matching of the cutting performance and the expansion performance of the low-expansion alloy for the carbon fiber composite material die is satisfied.
