Definitions

  • the invention relates to a steel strip for flapper valves in compressors and other reed valve applications.
  • Flapper or reed valves are used in various types of applications where a specific type of compression cycle is regulated for a specific purpose. It can be a refrigeration cycle in a hermetic reciprocating compressor working uninterrupted in a refrigerator or in the air conditioner of a car.
  • a flapper valve is basically a spring made from a pre-hardened steel strip. In its simplest form, the flapper valve has a tongueshaped reed, where one end is fixed and the opposite end hangs free and regulates the liquid or gas flow in the compressor.
  • the flapper valve reed (called“valve reed” in the following) suffers from both cyclic bending stresses and cyclic impact stresses during its service. Usually, these cyclic stresses eventually cause fatigue failure. Accordingly, the fatigue properties are of the utmost importance for the flapper valve reed material.
  • a valve reed made of a steel strip of this invention has its fatigue properties optimized by the combined effect of modifications to the chemical composition and the heat treatment of the steel, plus superior control of non-metallic inclusion size, volume fraction and prevalent specie.
  • Compressor OEMs require new materials that have a higher fatigue life than prior art materials in order to improve the compressor’s performance and life.
  • COP coefficient of performance
  • the 1 % carbon unalloyed steel of the type ASTM 1095 or EN Nr.: 1.1274 has in the past been the standard choice for non-stainless applications and various attempts have been made in order to improve the fatigue properties of said steel.
  • JPS60128241 describes such an attempt by specifying the average size of the spheroidal carbides in the hot rolled strip.
  • US2015/0030870 A1 discloses a steel strip having a limited area ratio of carbides not less than 0.5 mhi in the metallographic structure.
  • WO2007/129979 A1 is directed to the improvement of the fatigue life by providing a coating on at least one side of the steel strip.
  • the general object of the present invention is to provide a pre -hardened steel strip for flapper valve reed having an optimized combination of properties such that it can be manufactured by conventional methods of valve production and subsequently be used to produce more efficient and reliable compressors.
  • a particular object is to provide a steel strip having improved bending fatigue strength.
  • the arithmetic precision of the numerical values can be increased by one or two digits. Hence, a value given as e.g. 0.1 % can also be expressed as 0.10 % or 0.100%.
  • Carbon is to be present in a minimum content equal to or greater than 0.9 %, preferably at least 0.95 % for obtaining the desired mechanical properties after hardening.
  • the upper limit for carbon is equal to or less than 1.10 % and may be set to 1.05 %.
  • Silicon is used for deoxidation.
  • Si is a strong ferrite former and increases the carbon activity.
  • Si is also a powerful solid- solution strengthening element and strengthens the steel matrix. This effect appears at a content of about 0.1 % Si and preferably the amount of Si is equal to or greater than 0.10 % Si and equal to or less than 0.50%.
  • the lower limit may be set to 0.15, 0.20, 0.25 or 0.30 %.
  • the upper limit may be set to 0.45,0.40, 0.35 or 0.30 %.
  • Manganese is an austenite stabilizer and contributes to improve the hardenability of the steel. Manganese shall therefore be present in a minimum content equal to or greater than 0.20 %, preferably at least equal to or greater than 0.30 or equal to or greater than 0.35 or equal to or greater than 0.40 %. When the content of Mn is too large the amount of retained austenite after finish tempering may be too high.
  • the steel shall therefore preferably have a Mn content that is equal to or less than 0.80 % Mn, more preferably equal to or less than 0.60 %. Chromium (0.05 - 0.30 %)
  • Cr contributes to improve the hardenability of the steel. Therefore, Cr is present at a content equal to or greater than 0.05 %, preferable equal to or greater than 0.10 %. However, if more than 0.30 % is added then there is a risk for the undesired formation of pearlite, so preferably the amount of Cr is equal to or less than 0.30 %.
  • Mo may optionally be added to the steel.
  • Mo is a ferrite stabilizer and is known to have a very favourable effect on the hardenability.
  • Molybdenum can be used for improving the secondary hardening response during tempering.
  • the minimum content is preferably equal to or greater than 0.15 % and more preferably equal to or greater than 0.25 %.
  • Molybdenum is strong carbide forming element and also a strong ferrite former. The maximum content of molybdenum is therefore preferably equal to or less than 0.40 %.
  • Vanadium forms evenly distributed fine precipitated carbides, nitrides and carbonitrides of the type V(N,C) in the matrix of the steel. Vanadium shall therefore preferably be present in an amount equal to or greater than 0.05 % and less than or equal to 0.20 %.
  • the upper limit may be equal to or smaller than 0.18, 0.16, 0.14 or 0.12 %.
  • the lower limit may be equal to or greater than 0.06, 0.07, 0.08, 0.09 or 0.10 %.
  • Niobium (0.02 - 0.09 %)
  • Niobium is similar to vanadium in that it forms carbonitrides of the type M(N,C) and may in principle be used to replace part of the vanadium but that requires the double amount of niobium as compared to vanadium.
  • Nb(C,N) are much more stable than V(C,N) and may therefore not be dissolved during austenitising.
  • the minimum amount of Nb preferably is equal to or greater than 0.02, 0.03, 0.04 or 0.05 % and maximum amount is equal to or less than 0.09, 0.08, 0.07 or 0.06 %.
  • V+0.5Nb (0.10 - 0.16 %)
  • V+0.5Nb is equal to or greater than 0.10 % and equal to or less than 0.16 % in order to optimize the amount of primary precipitated hard phases.
  • N is an optional element which may be deliberately added to the steel.
  • N is a strong austenite former and also a strong nitride former.
  • N is restricted to be equal to or less than 0.15% in order to obtain the desired type and amount of hard phases, in particular MX, wherein M is mainly V and Nb but other metals like Cr and Mo may be present to some extent.
  • X is one or both of C and N.
  • a high nitrogen content may lead to work hardening, edge cracking and/or a high amount of retained austenite.
  • carbonitrides of the above type will form. These may be partly dissolved during the austenitizing step and then precipitated during the tempering step as particles of nanometre size.
  • the thermal stability of vanadium- carbonitrides and, in particular, niobium-carbonitrides is considered to be better than that of the corresponding carbides. Therefore, the resistance against grain growth at high austenitizing temperatures may enhanced by a deliberate addition of nitrogen.
  • nitrogen is not deliberately added then it may only be present at the impurity content level of N.
  • the impurity content should then preferably be limited to less than or equal to 0.03 %.
  • the upper content of N as an impurity may be set to 0.02, 0.015 or 0.01 %. Aluminium ( ⁇ 0.05 %)
  • Aluminium may optionally be used for deoxidation in combination with Si and Mn.
  • the upper limit is restricted to being less than or equal to 0.05% to avoid precipitation of undesired phases such as AIN and hard, brittle Alumina inclusions.
  • A1 is not deliberately added to the steel but is only present at the impurity level.
  • These elements are carbide formers and may be present in the alloy in the claimed ranges for altering the composition of the hard phases. However, normally none of these elements are deliberately added.
  • B may be used in order to further increase the hardness of the steel.
  • the amount is limited to being equal to or less than 0.01%, preferably ⁇ 0.005 or even ⁇ 0.001 %.
  • P and S are the main impurities, which can have a negative effect on the mechanical properties of the steel strip.
  • P may therefore be limited to equal to or less than 0.04 %, preferably equal to or less than 0.02 %.
  • S may be limited to being equal to or less than 0.03 % or ⁇ 0.01, or ⁇ 0.008 or ⁇ 0.001 or ⁇ 0.0005 %.
  • Austenite is undesirable and the amount of retained austenite is less than or equal to 10%, preferably less than or equal to 5%, more preferably is less than or equal to 3% and most preferably is zero (measured by XRD according to ASTM E975-13).
  • the present inventors have systematically investigated the effect of a modified chemical composition and a modified heat treatment on the mechanical properties of the flapper valve reed material.
  • the modifications made to the chemical composition relative to the conventional material were mainly focused on increases in the contents of vanadium, niobium and molybdenum.
  • the tensile strength of the steel strip depends on the thickness of the strip. A thinner strip will have a higher tensile strength than a thicker strip. Accordingly, one can expect a thinner strip to also have a higher bending fatigue strength.
  • the lower limit of the tensile strength may be equal to or greater than 1700, 1750, 1800, 1850, 1900, 1950 or 2000 MPa.
  • the lower limit of the bending fatigue strength may be equal to or greater than 950, 1000, 1020 or 1040 MPa.
  • the cold rolled strips used in these trials were produced from a route that is also the intended production route for the inventive product. It included:
  • the cold rolled strips used for the trials all had a thickness of 0.381 mm and a width of 330 mm.
  • the strips were subjected to martempering (hardening and tempering) in a continuous hardening line by austenitizing at 850 - 870 °C for approximately 3.5 minutes followed by quenching in a lead bath to around 350 °C and thereafter in an oil bath to approximately 200 °C followed by cooling between water cooled plates down to room temperature.
  • the strips were thereafter subjected to an inline single tempering step, at temperatures ranging between 400 - 500°C for 2 minutes with the aim of achieving a target Rm of 1860 MPa ⁇ lOOMPa (Tested in accordance with ISO 6892). This target tensile level was chosen as the level typically used for this application, at this thickness.
  • the material was slit to the desired width to carry out laser-based empirical flatness checks to confirm the suitability of the resulting strips to fulfil the demands of the final product.
  • the hardened and tempered microstructures of the trial materials all consisted of approximately 4 - 7.5% retained secondary carbides with a mean diameter of 0.60 - 0.85pm (measured by image analysis based optical microscopy @xl000 magnification and confirmed by EBSD) with no measurable retained austenite (measured by XRD according to ASTM E975-13).
  • the inventive steel strip can be used for producing flapper valve reeds for compressors having improved fatigue properties.
