Description

Rare earth treatment method for low-alloy wear-resistant steel
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of low-alloy wear-resistant steel plate smelting, in particular to a rare earth treatment method for low-alloy wear-resistant steel.
Background
China is a rare earth resource country. With the continuous development of rare earth resources, light rare earth such as lanthanum, cerium and the like is seriously excessive due to the fact that the application fields are small, and steel materials are used as basic structural materials with irreplaceable and maximum use amount, so that the method becomes a main field of light rare earth resource development and utilization. The steel industry in China is in the key stages of transformation upgrading and green development, and a great amount of light rare earth resources such as lanthanum, cerium and the like in China are fully utilized, so that the variety development and quality improvement of steel products are carried out, and the method has important strategic significance.
The mechanism of action of rare earth in steel is conventionally thought to mainly include: purifying molten steel, metamorphic inclusion and microalloying. The unique microalloying effect of the rare earth is now an important means for developing high-quality steel grades at home and abroad, but the industrial application of the rare earth steel is undeniably still facing serious challenges. The prior rare earth treatment process generally adopts the method of directly adding rare earth metal or rare earth alloy into molten steel. The rare earth metal has strong activity under the high temperature condition, and is very easy to be matched with impurity elements such as oxygen, sulfur and the like in molten steel and SiO in slag 2 The equal oxidizing components react to cause larger fluctuation of the content of dissolved rare earth, thereby affecting the microalloying effect of the rare earth, and meanwhile, if large-size high-melting-point rare earth inclusions formed by the reaction cannot be effectively removed, the performance of the product is inevitably deteriorated, and meanwhile, the nozzle is easy to nodulation.
Patent CN202011194183.7 discloses a rare earth wear-resistant steel NM400 coiled plate with excellent low-temperature toughness and a production method thereof, wherein the low-temperature toughness of the coiled plate is remarkably improved by adopting the rare earth microalloying (Ce content is 0.0005-0.0015%) component design and combining with a TMCP on-line quenching technology to produce a thin wear-resistant steel coiled plate by a two-stage cooling process. Patent CN2020103804264. X discloses a HB500 grade high wear resistance steel plate treated by rare earth and a production method thereof, and the produced steel plate contains trace rare earth (Ce content is less than or equal to 0.0015%), and has the characteristics of high strength, high hardness, high low temperature toughness and high wear resistance. Patent CN201910880333.0 discloses a rare earth NM500 wide and thick steel plate and a production method thereof, and the produced wide and thick steel plate also contains trace rare earth (Ce content is 0.0009-0.0020%), and has high strength, high toughness, high shaping and high wear resistance. The above patents all adopt a mode of directly adding rare earth into molten steel to carry out rare earth treatment. The rare earth content in the steel can be maintained below 0.0020%, and although the product performance is improved by the inclusion in the modified steel, almost all the rare earth in the steel is attributed to the inclusion, and the microalloying effect of the rare earth cannot be truly exerted.
The low alloy wear resistant steel is widely applied to various fields of thermal power plants, coal yards, cement plants, loading machines, mining machines, construction machines, engineering machines, metallurgical machines and the like. With the high-speed development of science and technology and modern industry, the operation speed of mechanical equipment is higher and higher, the worn speed of friction parts is higher and higher, the service life of the friction parts becomes an important factor affecting the production efficiency of modern equipment, especially an automatic production line running at high speed, and the failure of mechanical parts caused by wear becomes more and more prominent. With the continuous progress of the production process technology of the low-alloy high-strength wear-resistant steel in China, the grade and grade of the low-alloy wear-resistant steel are also continuously improved. In view of the severe use environment of low alloy wear-resistant steel, the corrosion resistance and wear resistance of the product need to be improved.

However, in order to prevent molten steel from being excessively exposed to air and causing molten steel to absorb oxygen and produce impurities, the diameter of the exposed surface should be strictly controlled to be less than or equal to 10cm.
In the step S330, the rare earth-iron alloy is a lanthanum-iron alloy, wherein the mass fraction of rare earth in the alloy is 20%.
S400: RH vacuum refining (namely, a molten steel vacuum circulation degassing method, which is an external refining method of molten steel commonly designed and developed by Germany Derulu iron and Steel Co., ltd. (Ruhrstahl) and Hereaeus (Hereeus)) is as follows: vacuum refining is carried out in an RH refining furnace with the high vacuum degree (less than or equal to 3.0 mbar) maintained for more than or equal to 25 minutes; and after RH is finished, soft argon blowing static stirring is carried out, and the static stirring time is more than or equal to 15min.
S500: continuous casting: the continuous casting long nozzle and the immersed nozzle are tightly sealed by argon, the pulling speed is controlled to be 0.70-1.00m/min, a tundish adopts a carbonless covering agent, and the casting adopts high-carbon steel covering slag.
S600: and (3) hot rolling: the heating temperature is 1200-1300 ℃, rolling is controlled by two stages, the temperature is not higher than 950 ℃ after rolling in the first stage, the target finishing temperature is not lower than 830 ℃, and air cooling is carried out after rolling.
S700: and (3) heat treatment: comprises quenching and tempering treatment, wherein the quenching heating temperature is 800-950 ℃; the tempering heating temperature is 200-280 ℃.
S800: and (5) forming a material.
After rare earth treatment, the prismatic or cluster inclusions with larger hazard in the steel are changed into Ce with relatively small size and more similar properties to the steel matrix 2 O 2 S, ceS and the like contain rare earth inclusions; the pitting corrosion resistance of the spherical rare earth oxysulfide is better than that of the strip manganese sulfide, so that the addition of rare earth is weakenedThe electrochemical corrosion of the micro-area is improved, the electrode potential of the steel matrix is improved, the pinning effect between the rust layer and the matrix can be enhanced by the tiny spherical inclusions, the protection of the matrix is enhanced, the corrosion resistance of the steel can be improved, the relatively high rare earth content (Ce mass fraction: 0.0226%) is distributed at the grain boundary, the grains are greatly refined, and a more uniform lath martensitic structure is obtained. The refined structure ensures that the crystal grains of the rust phase on the surface of the steel are fine, reduces the areas of ion channels and anodes, and can effectively prevent corrosive media from contacting with a rigid matrix. The rare earth also promotes the transformation from the unstable rust phase gamma-FeOOH to the stable alpha-FeOOH, and promotes the formation of a compact stable corrosion-resistant rust layer on the surface of the steel; the rare earth also inhibits the partial polymerization of corrosive element sulfur in the rust layer, which is beneficial to the rapid generation of the protective corrosion-resistant rust layer; the addition of the rare earth improves the thermoplasticity of the steel plate, further increases the thickness of a plastic deformation zone of the wear surface of the low-alloy wear-resistant steel under the action of impact load, increases the work hardening degree of the surface of the steel plate, enhances the microhardness of the surface of the steel plate, and remarkably improves the wear resistance of the low-alloy wear-resistant steel.
According to the mechanical industry standard JB/T7901, the low-alloy wear-resistant steel is subjected to uniform corrosion total immersion test, and compared with the traditional low-alloy wear-resistant steel without rare earth treatment, the low-alloy wear-resistant steel subjected to rare earth treatment has obviously reduced surface corrosion degree and corrosion rate of more than 15%; the MLD-10 impact abrasive wear testing machine is adopted to conduct abrasive wear test under impact load, and compared with the traditional low-alloy wear-resistant steel plate without rare earth treatment, the low-alloy wear-resistant steel plate with rare earth treatment has the advantages that the wear loss weight is reduced by more than 20%, and specific performance indexes are shown in table 1.
