Description

Method for preparing high-performance gray cast iron by adding piston scrap iron
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of casting material processing, and particularly relates to a method for preparing high-performance gray cast iron by adding piston scrap iron.
Background
The heart compressor of air conditioner refrigerating system is mainly formed from flange, cylinder, crankshaft and piston. The grey cast iron parts of air conditioner compressors are often referred to as: upper (lower) flanges (also known as primary and secondary bearings or upper and lower supports), cylinders, and other cast iron parts.
Because the air conditioning refrigeration system is in refrigeration operation, the components within the air conditioning compressor are substantially in a high speed relative motion. Clearly, there are high specific requirements on the precision of these parts and the performance characteristics of the individual materials. Therefore, to ensure the performance of the compressor, the casting suppliers must produce these parts with casting product quality meeting relevant quality specifications.
In general, the service performance of the upper flange, the lower flange and the cylinder part is required to meet the standard of HT250 materials, have enough strength, hardness and wear resistance, have easy cutting property in the production and processing process and have good air tightness in use. Moreover, the air conditioner compressor is required to meet the requirements of achieving a specified service life and having a specified good performance.
In addition, with the increase of market competition of air conditioner compressor parts in recent years, the capacity of the air conditioner compressor parts market gradually becomes saturated, and profit margins of related casting products are also gradually extruded. In the manufacture of these cast products, a little bit of care may affect the profit margin of the product.
Therefore, the method is suitable for market change, stabilizes the product quality, improves the service performance of the product, pays attention to environmental protection, optimizes and improves the resource utilization rate, and has obvious significance in further measures such as cost reduction and efficiency improvement.
The piston scrap iron is scrap iron generated by cutting during machining of the piston, and because the piston is various in size specification, for the convenience of production, casting dies are basically produced by covering a plurality of size specifications with one die. Therefore, the total cutting amount when machining the piston is relatively large, and the amount of scrap iron generated is also relatively large. The scrap iron produced every day is partially returned to the piston furnace material for blank production in a furnace material returning mode, and the rest part of scrap iron is left out.
Although the surplus scrap iron is the scrap iron of the alloy iron casting piston, the alloy iron casting piston contains a certain proportion of noble metal elements of Cr, ni and Mo. However, when the scrap iron is sold to the outside, the price of the scrap iron entering the market is lower than the price of common iron filings, and the price of common pig iron is only about 1/2. The scrap iron is used for externally discount treatment, so that the waste of precious metal resources is avoided, and the benefit of enterprises is not met.
Therefore, in the production of the compressor iron castings, the surplus piston scrap iron is reasonably utilized and digested, and the method has long-term positive significance for cost reduction and efficiency improvement of enterprises.
Because the structural size of the compressor iron casting product and the requirement of the material grade HT250 are determined, the requirement of adding Cr, ni and Mo elements is basically not existed in the production of the casting. Therefore, the Cr, ni and Mo elements in the conventional product materials belong to the self-contained components in pig iron and scrap steel, and the contents of the elements are generally low, and are approximately as follows: 0.05 to 0.07 percent of Cr, 0.001 to 0.01 percent of Ni and 0.001 to 0.01 percent of Mo. Therefore, the alloying effect is negligible for the original content in the cast iron material.
Patent CN 101725504A discloses a refrigerant compressor, wherein the matrix of the crankshaft to be powered is ferrite of 5% or less, and the rest is graphite flake cast iron containing Cr, mo or Ni, which is composed of pearlite. Alternatively, the base body of the crankshaft is pearlite having an area ratio of 50% or more, and the rest of the base body is spheroidal graphite cast iron composed of ferrite. The main bearing for supporting the crankshaft is made of a graphite flake cast iron (gray cast iron) containing no alloy, and the graphite on the upper part of the main bearing is eutectic graphite, and pearlite is present in the matrix at 30% to 95%. Although the patent discloses that Cr, mo or Ni is introduced into pearlite, in the cast iron field, the content ratio of a material matrix and a structure improver has a key effect on the product performance, and the corresponding casting process often exceeds or falls below a specified amount, so that not only can the improvement effect be achieved, but also the material performance is deteriorated, and the improvement effect is not achieved.
Patent CN 102851575A discloses an oxidation resistant alloyed gray cast iron and a method for manufacturing the same, the cast iron comprising the following components in mass percent: c:3.0 to 3.2 percent of Si:1.8 to 2.0 percent of Mn:0.50 to 0.70 percent of Cr:0.10 to 0.50 percent of Ni:0.20 to 0.30 percent of Mo:0.30 to 0.50 percent of Al:0.5 to 3.0 percent of Sr:0.05 to 0.08 percent of Zn: 0.005-0.015% and the balance of Fe and unavoidable impurities. The manufacturing method comprises the steps of raw material smelting, inoculation and pouring, wherein the tapping temperature after smelting is 1450-1550 ℃, and slag skimming and pouring are carried out after molten iron is poured in a ladle and stream inoculation. Although Mo, ni and Cr alloy elements have the effect of stabilizing pearlite, the alloy elements are mainly used for manufacturing glass dies and light alloy metal mold casting dies which bear high-temperature forming liquid thermal shock and cold-hot alternating stress for a long time, and have obvious differences with the performance requirements of internal parts of an air conditioner compressor, so that the composition of the components is different, such as the key C content is relatively low, the added content of Mo, ni and Cr is high, the mechanical properties of the alloy elements are obviously improved, but the mechanical processability of the alloy elements is poor, the material cost is high, and the alloy elements are very unfavorable for casting products of the internal parts of the air conditioner compressor, such as flanges, cylinders, crankshafts and pistons, which need fine cutting, and the alloy elements are reduced in cost and enhanced in enterprises.
Patent CN 105543640A discloses a antifriction cast iron for automobile brake discs, which comprises the following chemical components: c:3-3.4%, si:1.6-2.6%, mn:0.6-1.1%, P is less than or equal to 0.15%, S is less than 0.12%, cr:1.5-2.5%, ni:0.3-0.6%, mo:0.1-0.3%, and the balance of Fe. The raw materials of the antifriction cast iron are added with alloy elements such as Cr, ni, mo and the like, so that the toughness of the cast iron is greatly improved, the mechanical property of the antifriction cast iron is improved, the wear resistance of the antifriction cast iron can reach 3 times that of common HT200 gray cast iron, the mechanical requirement of an automobile brake disc can be met, and the problems that a plurality of cast irons are large in brittleness and cannot bear strong impact are solved. However, the patent also has the problems of higher Mo, ni and Cr addition, higher cost and poorer mechanical processing property of the material.
