Summary of the invention
Existing improve the hardening capacity of Pinion Steel and the method cost height of hot workability in order to overcome, easy rimose weak point in hot procedure, the invention provides a kind of hardening capacity of Pinion Steel and method of hot workability of improving, it is low to handle the Pinion Steel cost with present method, and the Pinion Steel hardening capacity of processing is good, plasticity and toughness height.
The major technique key of the hardening capacity of raising Pinion Steel of the present invention and the method for hot workability is Pinion Steel smelting (essence) refining at existing manufacturing gear, mould forms ingot, redly send breaking down, the soaking cogging, in the rolling whole process of becoming a useful person, Pinion Steel smelted be divided into electric furnace refining just and ladle refining furnace refining two and go on foot and finish, electric furnace just refining is finished fusing and oxidation, ladle refining is finished reduction, add ferrorphosphorus in the ladle refining furnace refining process and adjust the content of P in the molten steel at 0.018-0.026%, increase along with phosphorus content in the steel, can promote growing up of austenite crystal, effectively improve the hardening capacity of Pinion Steel, next is that the content of the alloying element in the Finished Steel is the lower limit of Pinion Steel standard chemical composition, lower limit control as GB5216-85 standard or company standard requirement, and in the electrosmelting process, P content in the control molten steel, during electric furnace steel tapping, the P in the molten steel≤0.017%.
The step of the hardening capacity of this raising Pinion Steel and the method for hot workability is as follows:
1 electrosmelting
Steel scrap and molten iron joined in the electric furnace smelt, the molten iron of adding and the weight ratio of steel scrap are 1.1: 1 to 1.2: 1, and the P content in the steel scrap is 0.020-0.035%; P content in the molten iron is 0.040-0.070%, and Si content is 0.5-0.8%, and the temperature of molten iron is greater than 1250 ℃.
Earlier steel scrap is joined in the electric furnace, and then adding molten iron, begin oxygen blast after adding molten iron, scrap melting and molten steel oxidation carry out simultaneously, steel scrap and lime solid charge melt rapidly in smelting process, take off C simultaneously, take off P, degas, go to be mingled with, to guarantee that refining procedure normally is as the criterion in the ladle refining furnace, take off after P to P≤0.017% electric furnace steel tapping; Before electric furnace steel tapping, earlier according to the steel grade that is refined, adding contains iron alloy and the lime and the synthetic slag of corresponding element and is baked to more than 800 ℃ in the ladle of ladle refining furnace, then the molten steel of electric furnace is poured in the ladle, molten steel carries out the preliminary alloying of molten steel in the ladle of ladle refining furnace, in the iron alloy, the content of alloying element is wanted height, composition is accurate, lumpiness is suitable, it is low to be mingled with harmful element content.As produce the 40MnBH Pinion Steel, add manganeseirom, ferro-silicon, and preheating 30 minutes, again the molten steel in the electric furnace is poured in the ladle of ladle refining furnace, the amount that adds ferromanganese, ferro-silicon, be to make ladle Mn:1.13-1.23% in the steel when entering the refining station, Si:0.17-0.27%.Steel grade for other can add ferrochrome, ferro-molybdenum, and the iron alloy of adding, the content that should make in the molten steel corresponding element are the lower limit that requires of Pinion Steel such as the lower limit of GB5216-85.
The refining of B ladle refining furnace
The ladle that molten steel is housed is moved on to the refining station, further deoxidation, desulfurization, removal are mingled with under reductive condition, while is according to composition and the requirement of Pinion Steel chemical ingredients standard such as the requirement of GB5216-85 of refining initial stage molten steel, add the iron alloy and ferrorphosphorus and the carbon dust adjustment molten steel composition that contain corresponding element, when the ladle of ladle refining furnace is tapped, alloying element in the molten steel is controlled at the lower limit of Pinion Steel standard such as the lower limit of GB5216-85, and the content of P is 0.018-0.026%.
Carrying out vacuum outgas, mould according to known method again forms ingot, redly send breaking down, soaking cogging, is rolled into round steel.
The major technique key of the hardening capacity of this raising Pinion Steel and the method for hot workability is the phosphorus content of adjusting in the control steel, has improved the hardening capacity of Pinion Steel effectively, and the HRC that leaves quenched end 9mm place can improve 1-10; Improved the hot workability of Pinion Steel effectively, the cracking ratio of Pinion Steel in forging, thermal treatment, hot procedure reduced 20-40%, as 40MnBH Pinion Steel with present method refining, through testing with former heat processing technique, the rimose ratio is less than 3%, 20CrMnTiH Pinion Steel cracking ratio is less than 2%, and the cracking ratio of ZL20CrMoH Pinion Steel is less than 2%; Adjust in the smelting process of the hardening capacity of P content raising steel in the control steel, the add-on of ferrophosphorus is lacked than existing method, price is low, can reduce the production cost of Pinion Steel, and the cost of Finished Steel per ton can reduce 8-20 unit, as the 40MnBH Pinion Steel, the rate of recovery of ferrophosphorus is 90-95%, and in the ladle refining furnace refining process, the add-on of C and manganeseirom is few, and the ferrophosphorus price that adds is low, has reduced the cost of 40MnBH Pinion Steel.
