Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an austenitic stainless steel resulfurized with improved machinability, used in particular in the field machining at very high cutting speed and the field of bar turning.
  • the speeds which can be used on a steel are, for example, determined by turning tests with tools comprising coated carbide inserts, tests designated Vb 15 / 0.15 , which consist in determining the speed at which the wear in clearance is 0.15 mm after 15 minutes of machining. Beyond this speed, it is not conceivable to machine without risk, below industrial practice is possible.
  • the aim sought is training, with the manganese and in a lower proportion, with chromium, of a manganese and chromium sulfide (Mn, Cr) S which generates under the form of specific inclusions solid lubrication of the tool cutting during machining operations.
  • Mn, Cr manganese and chromium sulfide
  • sulfur has an unfavorable effect on corrosion resistance and that, despite this, an orientation chosen is the introduction, in a resulfurized steel, of inclusions of lime silicoaluminate oxides most often associated with sulfide inclusions.
  • Such an austenitic steel has good machinability properties in the field of conventional cutting speeds, i.e. less than 500 m / min while shooting.
  • Steel has inclusions associated composed of oxides of the silicoaluminate type which coat preferably sulfide inclusions. These inclusions are more large and more deformable than the sulphide inclusions alone. The effect of the so-called solid lubrication of the cutting tool is thereby improved.
  • the steel described in the cited document has a disadvantage. Indeed, sulfur significantly reduces the properties of steel from the point of view of cold deformation with appearance of tapures for example in stretching or drawing.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a steel with machinability improved which can be used, on the one hand in the field of very high speed machining, with cutting speeds in turning which can exceed 700 m / min, and, on the other hand in the bar turning area with productivity greater than 30% at those obtained with a resulfurized austenitic stainless steel ordinary.
  • the subject of the invention is an austenitic stainless steel resulfurized with improved machinability usable in particular in the field high-speed cutting machining and bar turning, such as as defined in claim 1.
  • Figure 1 shows the wear curves in steel clearance resulfurized stainless steels, either copper-free or without inclusion aluminosilicate of lime and of a resulfurized steel according to the invention, these steels being machined at very high cutting speed.
  • Figure 2 presents the hardening curves of a steel resulfurized without copper and a steel according to the invention.
  • the austenitic stainless steel according to the invention has the following composition by weight: carbon less than 0.1%, silicon less than 2%, manganese less than 2%, nickel, from 7 to 12%, chromium, from 15 to 25% , sulfur, 0.10 to 0.55%, copper, 1 to 5%, calcium greater than 35.10 -4 %, oxygen greater than 70.10 -4 %, the ratio of calcium content to oxygen content being between 0.2 and 0.6.
  • This steel is in the field of so-called resulfurized steels whose content in sulfur and the calcium and oxygen contents in a ratio determined ensure said steels good machinability at speeds cutting less than 500 m / min.
  • manganese sulfides are very little substituted for chromium because a manganese content adapted to the sulfur content, their malleability and therefore their effectiveness when cutting improved. Sulfur can be partially replaced by selenium and / or tellurium.
  • the resulfurized steel according to the invention which can preferably be used in the field of machining known as high cutting speeds, by the presence of a large number of malleable inclusions at low point fusion of sulfide and associated or unassociated oxide, and by the presence of a copper content according to the invention, ensures on the one hand, machining at exceptional cutting speeds and secondly, conservation of the life of the cutting tool.
  • the test consists of a turning operation, without lubrication, with an advance of 0.25 mm / revolution, a depth of 1.5 mm pass and a cutting speed of 700 m / min.
  • the tool is regularly dismantled for measurement of draft wear.
  • the resulting curves are shown in Figure 1.
  • Reference steels A and B are unsuitable for this type of machining. After only a few minutes of turning, the tools machining these steels are destroyed, that is to say that either their wear and tear is greater than 0.15 mm, or their edge is collapsed. It is therefore not thinkable of using, for the machining of these steels, such speeds of chopped off.
  • steel C according to the invention the coated tool is still in working condition after 20 minutes of turning, which allows, with conventional carbide coated tools to work industrially at such cutting speeds. This is due to the combined presence, in the composition of steel, of a large quantity of sulfur, malleable oxides with low melting point and a optimal copper content.
  • the reference D steel is a resulfurized steel which does not contain calcium or oxygen in its composition. in suitable proportion, and the steel E, according to the invention, in this exemplary embodiment, comprises in its composition, 1.5% copper, 62.10 -4 % calcium and 134.10 -4 % oxygen.
  • the test consists in the production, from a drawn bar with a diameter of 5 mm, of a piece 50 mm long comprising essentially turning, with variable depth of pass from 0.5 to 1.5 mm.
  • Table 2 presents the results of a bar turning test on a single spindle cam lathe with solid carbide tools and whole oil lubrication. The values in table 2 represent the number of parts with good quality machining before changing the tools.
  • Productivity Steel D Steel E 1.82 pieces / min 3,200 8,000 2.30 piece / min 1,500 3,200
