Abstract
Description
- The present invention concerns improvement in a powdered high speed tool steel, and provides high speed tools having both good wear resistance and toughness.
- Powdered high speed tool steels have advantages, when compared with melted materials, that fine carbide particles precipitate therein uniformly without segregation, and hence, the steels have higher toughness and that it is possible to improve the wear resistance by high-alloying.
- Nevertheless, our experience shows that, in the practical use of the powdered high speed tool steels, it is rather rare to get the results better than those of the melted materials with lower degree of alloying, and thus, substantially little benefits which principally reside in the powder metallurgy have been obtained.
- We have made research on the powdered high speed tool steel containing tangusten and molybdenum in addition to chromium to realize the material having both the processability to the tools and the cutting performance as the tools, and as the results, we have found that our desire can be realized by a particular alloy composition containing large quantities of vanadium and cobalt, and disclosed. (Japanese patent disclosure Hei 1-119645)
- As the results of further study on the powdered high speed tool steel of the above kind, we discovered that not only the alloy composition but also the size and quantity of the carbide particles therein greatly infulence the performance of the tools.
- The object of the present invention is, on the basis of this discovery, to provide a powdered high speed tool steel having both the high toughness and the wear resistance by controlling the sizes and quantities of the carbide particles.
- The powdered high speed tool steel of the present invention having good toughness and wear resistnace is characterized in that it comprises the powder of the steel consisting essentially of 1.2 - 4.5 % of C, up to 3.0 % of Si, up to 3.0 % of Mn, 3.0 - 6.0 % of Cr, 15.0 - 60.0 % of W, 1.0 - 15.0 % of V and up to 20.0 % of Co, and the balance substantially of Fe, and that, among the carbide particles in the steel, those of large sizes having Heywood diameters "D" of 1 micrometer or larger share at least 10 volume % of whole the carbide particles.
- The "Heywood diameters, D" means, as understood from the term itself, a value determined by measuring the area "A" of the cross section of the carbide particles (preferably, by a measuring means of a high performance such as a scanning electromicroscope), and calculated by the formula D=2√
A/π . - In the above alloy composition, it is permissible to add up to 30.0 % of Mo, in addition to the W, or in replacing a portion of the W, provided that the addition amount of W should be, when W + 2Mo = Weq, such amount that Weq is in the range of 15.0 - 60.0 %. Also, in this case, it is preferable to chose the ratio of W to Mo which makes 2Mo/Weq not higher than 0.45.
- Because the powdered high speed tool steel is produced by spraying the molten metal with a gas or water to rapidly cool the sprayed drops, and sintering thus obtained powder by means of, e.g., HIP, the precipitated carbide particles are generally fine and distributed uniformly. It has been considered that the wear resistance of the tool is high when the carbide particles in the powdered steel are somewhat large and, on the other hand, that the toughness of the tool is high when the carbide particles are fine.
- However, according to our research on the relation between the sizes and quantities of the carbides and the life of various tools such as cutting tools and rolls, it was found that, contrarily to the prior common understanding, existence of relatively large carbide particles in an appropreate amount is favorable not only for the wear resistance but also the toughness. Namely, as noted above, relatively large carbide particles having Heywood diameters of 1 micrometer or higher should share 10 vol % or more of whole the carbide particles.
- The sizes of the carbide particles can be, as is well known, increased by soaking treatment of the powdered high speed tool steel at a high temperature for some period of time. The relatively large carbide particles may be sufficient if they are 10 volume % or more, at highest, 20 - 30 volume %, and at the contents exceeding this level the effect saturates. Over soaking cuses formation of huge carbide particles resulting in decreased toughness, and therefore, it should not be done. Suitable heating conditions may be found in the ranges of 1150 - 1250oC and 2 - 10 hours.
- The alloy composition of the present invention was, as would be seen from the above explanation, determined in view of the discovery made at the achievement of the already disclosed invention, but a brief explanation is given below.
- For the purpose of forming a large amount of carbide to realize the high wear resistance, 1.2 % or more of C is to be contained. Because the toughness of this powdered steel is high, the upper limit of the C-content may be high, but cannot exceed 4.5 %.
- Both the elements are used as the deoxidation agent, and the upper limits are determined from the view point of giving no unfavorable influence to the toughness.
- All the above elements form carbides and give toughness to the steel. The lower limits of Cr and W are those necessary for ensuring the amounts of the carbides. On the other hand, too much addition thereof may not be accompanied by expected effects, and the decrease of the toughness will be unbearable. The upper limits are thus determined. V further contributes to the toughness because it makes the crystal grains fine. To obtain this effect, the lower limit of the content, 1.0 %, is given. Co further increases the heat resistance of the tool.
- Mo exhibits nearly the same effect as W, but the extent of the influence on the wear resistance and the toughness is about half of that of W, and therefore, the formula, W + 2Mo = Weq was given. The purpose of adding relatively large amount of W to Mo is to obtain a sufficient hardness of quenching-tempering (in terms of HRC, 66 - 67 or higher), and to maintain the anti-breaking strength high (260 kgf/mm2).
- The powdered high speed tool steel of the present invention can give tools having both the good wear resistance and the high toughness by chosing a particular alloy composition and controlling the sizes and quantities of the carbide particles therein. To date, usually, in case of producing high speed tool steel by powder metallurgy, sufficient merits of combination of the high alloy composition and the powder metallurgy technology has not been obtained, and the products of the conventional art are not so different to those made of the melted materials. The present invention solved this problem.
- Steels of the compositions shown in Table 1 were prepared in the molten state and atomized by gas spraying. The obtained powder was sintered by HIP process to have the densities near 100 %, and the sintered bodies were forged, and then annealed by being heated to 870oC for 1 hour and subsequent slow cooling. For the steels of each compositions, some of the samples were subjected to soaking in accordance with the present invention after the HIP process or in the process of the forging to adjust the size of the carbide particles therein, but the remaining samples were used as they are for the purpose of comparison.
- The sizes of the carbide particles in the forged sample of the annealed state were measured. Conditions of the soaking and the percentages of the relatively large carbide particles are shown in Table 2.
- Then, the samples were subjected to quenching-anneling, and the HT hardness and bend fracture strength were measured. The wear resistance was also determined. The wear resistance test was conducted in accordance with Ohgoshi method for accellated abrasion test under the conditions below:
Mating material: SCM 415 (as annealed)
Turning distance: 200 m
Turning speed: 2.93m/sec
Weight: 6.3 kgf - Evaluation of the wear resistance is expressed by relative coefficients to the comparative examples in which the coefficient is 100.
- Data of the conditions of quenching-annealing, HT-hardness, anti-breaking strength and the wear resistance are shown in Table 3.
