【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、油圧ブレーカー用ピストン等のような建設機械、産業機械用の機械部品に対して、優れた耐摩耗性、耐へたり性と同時に耐衝撃疲労性を有する高強度高靭性窒化用鋼に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
油圧ブレーカー用ピストン等のような建設機械、産業機械用の各種機械部品に対しては、ー般にSNCM420、SCM415等の浸炭材が多く用いられている。また、特に靭性が問題にされる場合には、SNCM616、SNCM815といった、高Niの肌焼鋼も便用されている。しかし、これらの浸炭材では摺動部での耐焼付き性や耐軟化性が十分でないため、そのような用途に使用する場合には、SCM435やSNCM439といった強靭鋼に窒化をして使用されることもある。しかし、これらの鋼種による窒化材では、耐軟化性は浸炭材よりも優れているものの、表面硬さが十分でないために耐摩耗性に問題が有り、また、繰り返し負荷される衝撃的荷重に対する破壊抵抗、すなわち衝撃疲労特性や耐へたり性が十分ではなかった。
【0003】
これらに対しては、特公平9−101216号公報には、Vを添加した迅速窒化鋼が提案されているが、耐摩耗性、耐疲労性には優れているものと考えられるものの、耐衝撃性に対する考慮がされていない。また、特開平8−193242号公報には耐摩耗性、心部での衝撃値規制による耐衝撃性については考慮されているものの、耐へたり性や表面の窒化層そのものの破壊抵抗性については何ら考慮されておらず、実施例を見る限り、機械部品として長期にわたる使用上から特に重要な、耐へたり性は全く実用化の領域に達していないと判断される。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明の課題は、油圧ブレーカー用ピストン等のような建設機械、産業機械用の機械部品用に最適な鋼材を、これらの部品の使用条件と材料特性との関係を明らかにすることにより、優れた耐摩耗性、耐ヘたり性と同時に耐衝撃疲労性を有する高強度高靭性窒化用鋼を提供することにある。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者らは、上記の課題を達成するために、検討を進めた結果、次の結論を得た。
▲1▼耐摩耗性を有するには、表面硬さが700HV以上の硬さであり、さらに出来るだけ深い硬化深さを有し、このための鋼成分を有していること。
【0006】
▲2▼部品の機能を十分に果たすには、打撃部分の変形が出来るだけ少ないことが必要であり、このためには耐へたり性が重要な特性として位置づけられ、十分なへたり性を確保するには、心部の硬さが400HV以上の硬さを確保する必要が有ること。
【0007】
▲3▼内部の靭性すなわち衝撃値は高いほうが望ましいが、一般に衝撃値は硬さが低いほど高くなる傾向にある。しかし、硬さが低くなると、繰り返し負荷される衝撃的な荷重に対しては逆に耐えられなくなり、実部品においては衝撃疲労強度がより重要であり、これに対しては最適な硬さ範囲が有ること。
【0008】
▲4▼十分な耐へたり性と衝撃疲労性を確保できる400HV以上の硬さ領域において、出来るだけ高い衝撃値を確保できること。
【0009】
▲5▼実部品での亀裂発生に対する抵抗性評価のためには、窒化した試験片における衝撃値が重要であること。さらに、この場合、通常の焼入焼戻し状態での心部の衝撃値には反映され難い、窒化による500〜550℃程度の再加熱により発生する焼戻し脆化に対する抵抗性が重要な特性であること。
【0010】
▲6▼上記の理由により、衝撃疲労特性についても、窒化材での評価が重要であること。
【0011】

【0013】
次に、本発明の鋼の化学成分の限定理由について説明する。以下、化学成分は質量%で示す。
Cは、焼入性を向上させ、部品の強度を向上させる上で必須の元素である。しかし、その反面靭性を低下させるために、添加量の最適化が重要なポイントとなる。すなわち、部品としての強度を確保する上で、また、特に本発明鋼では耐へたり性を確保する上では、Cは0.35%以上添加する必要が有るので、下限を0.35%とする。多すぎると靭性を害し、窒化性も低下させるので、上限を0.45%とする。
【0014】
Siは、脱酸剤として、さらに焼入性向上のために添加される元素である。その効果は0.15%未満では十分ではないため、下限を0.15%とすることができるが、好ましくは実施例の発明鋼No.2に基づき下限を0.19%とする。また、多すぎると焼戻し軟化性を向上させるものの、靭性や加工性、窒化性を阻害する。本発明鋼では摺動などによる表面層の軟化を防ぐ方法として窒化を行うために、上記の特性バランスを総合的に考慮して、上限を0.50%とする。
【0015】
Mnは、Siと同様に脱酸剤として、焼入性、強度向上のために添加される元素であるが、0.30%未満ではその効果が十分ではなく、また、多すぎる場合は被削性、熱間加工性、靭性を低下させるため、上限を1.00%とする。
【0016】
Niは、靭性を向上させるために必須の元素である。特に高硬度の状態で使用する本発明鋼は、不安定破壊を防止する上で、積極的に添加する。1.50%未満ではその効果が十分ではないため、下限を1.50%とする。多すぎると加工性を阻害し、さらに窒化性も阻害するため、上限を2.50%とする。
【0017】
Crは、焼入性を向上させ、強度を確保する上で効果が大きく、さらに窒化性すなわち表面硬さを上昇させ、硬化層の深さを増大させるためにも必須の元素である。1.50%未満ではその効果が十分ではないため、下限を1.50%とする。多すぎる場合には、その効果が飽和し、さらに焼入温度が上昇して経済的ではなくなるため、上限を2.50%とする。
【0018】
Moは、焼入性、強度、靭性および窒化性を向上させるために有効な元素であり、本発明鋼では積極的に添加する。0.30%未満ではその効果が十分でないため、下限を0.30%とする。また、多すぎてもその効果が飽和し、経済的でなくなるため、上限を1.00%とする。
【0019】
Vは、焼戻し軟化性を向上させ、適当な添加量では焼入性や強度、靭性を向上させ、窒化性に対しても、特に硬化層の深さを向上させる効果の大きな元素である。さらに、本発明鋼ではへたり性を向上させるためにも、必須の元素である。0.05%未満では、その効果が十分ではないので、下限を0.05%とする。さらに0.30%を超えると、その効果が飽和し、また、焼入温度が上昇して、添加量とも合わせて経済的ではなくなるために、上限を0.30%とする。
【0020】
Alは、脱酸剤および結晶粒度コントロールのために添加され、窒化性に対しても大きな役割を果たす元素である。0.010%未満では、その効果が十分ではないため、下限を0.010%とする。さらに、多すぎる場合にも逆に靭性を低下させ、疲労特性に有害なアルミナや巨大AlN析出物等の出現確率が高くなり、疲労強度を低下させるため、上限を0.030%とする。
【0021】
Oは、鋼中に酸化物系の介在物として存在する元素で、鋼材特性とくに疲労強度に対しては、出来るだけ少ないほうが好ましい。10ppm以下であれば鋼材を経済的にかつ特性としても十分なレベルの鋼材を製造することが可能なため、上限を10ppmとする。
【0022】
Nは、不可避的に鋼中に存在する元素であり、AlとAlNを形成して結晶粒度の微細化、ひいては靭性の向上に寄与する。80ppm未満ではその効果が十分ではなく、また、150ppmを超えると、逆に靭性の低下や鋼塊の健全性を損なうため、下限を80ppm、上限を150ppmとする。
【0023】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下に、本発明の実施の形態について説明する。質量%で示す、C:0.35〜0.45%、Si:0.19〜0.50%、Mn:0.30〜1.00%、Ni:1.50〜2.50%、Cr:1.50〜2.50%、Mo:0.30〜1.00%、V:0.05〜0.30%、Al:0.010〜0.030%、O:10ppm以下、N:80〜150ppmを含有し、残部はFeおよび不可避的不純物からなる鋼、あるいは同鋼の化学成分に、さらにNb:0.03〜0.20%およびTi:0.03〜0.20%から選んだ1種又は2種を含有する鋼は、通常の製鋼方法で溶製された後、この鋳片を得て、さらに圧延ないし鍛伸により鋼材に加工される。さらに、同鋼材を焼なましなどを施した上で、油圧ブレーカー用ピストンなどの適用部品の粗形状に加工した後、焼入焼戻しを実施し、さらに中間加工後に窒化処理を行って、最終仕上げ研摩等を行って油圧ブレーカー用ピストンなどの適用部品の最終製品に仕上げられる。以上において、焼入れは、通常850〜900℃程度の温度から行われ、したがって工具鋼のような950℃を超える高温からの焼入れは不要であるので経済的である。さらに、焼戻しは、窒化温度と目標とする硬さレベルにより設定され、耐へたり性を確保するために心部の硬度400HV以上を目標として通常550〜600℃程度で行なう。そして窒化は、ガス窒化やその他の方法で行い、窒化処理温度は一般に500〜570℃程度である。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is a high-strength, high-toughness nitriding steel that has excellent wear resistance, sag resistance and impact fatigue resistance for machine parts for construction machines and industrial machines such as pistons for hydraulic breakers. It is about.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Carburizing materials such as SNCM420 and SCM415 are generally used for various machine parts for construction machines and industrial machines such as pistons for hydraulic breakers. In addition, when the toughness is particularly problematic, high Ni case hardening steels such as SNCM616 and SNCM815 are also used. However, since these carburized materials do not have sufficient seizure resistance and softening resistance at sliding parts, when used in such applications, nitriding is used on tough steels such as SCM435 and SNCM439. There is also. However, although the nitrided materials made of these steel types have better softening resistance than carburized materials, there is a problem in wear resistance due to insufficient surface hardness, and there is a failure against repeated impact loads. Resistance, that is, impact fatigue characteristics and sag resistance were not sufficient.
[0003]
In order to deal with these problems, Japanese Patent Publication No. 9-101216 has proposed a rapid nitrided steel to which V is added, but although it is considered to be excellent in wear resistance and fatigue resistance, There is no consideration for sex. Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Hei 8-193242 considers wear resistance and impact resistance by limiting the impact value at the core, but about sag resistance and fracture resistance of the nitride layer on the surface itself. No consideration has been given, and as far as the examples are concerned, it is judged that the sag resistance, which is particularly important from the long-term use as a machine part, has not reached the range of practical use at all.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The object of the present invention is to provide an optimal steel material for machine parts for construction machines and industrial machines such as pistons for hydraulic breakers, etc. by clarifying the relationship between the use conditions and material characteristics of these parts. Another object of the present invention is to provide a high-strength, high-toughness nitriding steel having impact fatigue resistance as well as wear resistance and sag resistance.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
As a result of investigations to achieve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventors have obtained the following conclusion.
(1) In order to have wear resistance, the surface hardness must be 700 HV or more, and the depth of hardening should be as deep as possible, with the steel component for this purpose.
[0006]
(2) In order to fully perform the function of the parts, it is necessary that the deformation of the hitting part is as small as possible. For this purpose, sag resistance is positioned as an important characteristic, and sufficient sagability is ensured. In order to achieve this, it is necessary to ensure that the hardness of the core is 400 HV or higher.
[0007]
(3) Although it is desirable that the internal toughness, that is, the impact value be higher, the impact value generally tends to be higher as the hardness is lower. However, if the hardness is low, it will not be able to withstand the impact load that is repeatedly applied, and the impact fatigue strength is more important in the actual part. There is.
[0008]
(4) A shock value as high as possible can be secured in a hardness region of 400 HV or more that can ensure sufficient sag resistance and impact fatigue resistance.
[0009]
(5) The impact value of a nitrided specimen is important for evaluating resistance to cracking in actual parts. Furthermore, in this case, resistance to temper embrittlement generated by reheating at about 500 to 550 ° C. due to nitriding is an important characteristic that is hardly reflected in the impact value of the core in a normal quenching and tempering state. .
[0010]
(6) For the above reasons, the impact fatigue characteristics should be evaluated with a nitride material.
[0011]
From these findings, the means of the present invention for solving the above-mentioned problems is that the invention of claim 1 is mass %, C: 0.35 to 0.45%, Si: 0.19 to 0.50. % , Mn: 0.30 to 1.00%, Ni: 1.50 to 2.50%, Cr: 1.50 to 2.50%, Mo: 0.30 to 1.00%, V: 0.00. Quenching and tempering, characterized by containing 05 to 0.30%, Al: 0.010 to 0.030%, O: 10 ppm or less, N: 80 to 150 ppm, the balance being Fe and inevitable impurities By having a high surface hardness of 700 HV or higher, a deep hardening depth and a core hardness of 400 HV or higher by the subsequent nitriding treatment, it has excellent wear resistance between earth and sand and other mechanical parts, Combined with shocking repeated high loads, excellent sag, crack generation and propagation It is a high strength and high toughness of mechanical parts for nitriding steel.
[0012]
Invention of Claim 2 is the mass %, C: 0.35-0.45%, Si: 0.19-0.50% , Mn: 0.30-1.00%, Ni: 1.50 2.50%, Cr: 1.50 to 2.50%, Mo: 0.30 to 1.00%, V: 0.05 to 0.30%, Al: 0.010 to 0.030%, O : 10 ppm or less, N: 80 to 150 ppm, Nb: 0.03 to 0.20% and Ti: 0.03 to 0.20% selected from 1 or 2 types, the balance is Fe Quenching characterized by having a high surface hardness of 700 HV or more, a deep hardening depth and a core hardness of 400 HV or more by nitriding after quenching and tempering, characterized by comprising inevitable impurities After tempering, high surface hardness of 700HV or higher and deep curing depth can be obtained by nitriding. High strength and toughness machine that has excellent wear resistance between earth and sand and other machine parts, and has excellent sag, crack generation and propagation characteristics due to repeated high loads. It is a nitriding steel for parts.
[0013]
Next, the reasons for limiting the chemical components of the steel of the present invention will be described. Hereinafter, chemical components are shown in mass %.
C is an essential element for improving the hardenability and improving the strength of the part. However, in order to reduce the toughness, optimizing the amount added is an important point. That is, in order to ensure the strength as a part, and in particular to ensure the sag resistance in the steel of the present invention, C needs to be added by 0.35% or more, so the lower limit is 0.35%. To do. If the amount is too large, the toughness is impaired and the nitriding property is also lowered, so the upper limit is made 0.45%.
[0014]
Si is an element added as a deoxidizer for further improving hardenability. If the effect is less than 0.15%, the lower limit can be set to 0.15% . Based on 2, the lower limit is 0.19% . On the other hand, if the amount is too large, the temper softening property is improved, but the toughness, workability and nitriding property are hindered. In the steel of the present invention, in order to perform nitriding as a method for preventing the softening of the surface layer due to sliding or the like, the upper limit is set to 0.50% in consideration of the above characteristic balance comprehensively.
[0015]
Mn is an element added to improve hardenability and strength as a deoxidizer like Si. However, if it is less than 0.30%, its effect is not sufficient, and if it is too much, it will be machined. The upper limit is made 1.00% in order to reduce the properties, hot workability, and toughness.
[0016]
Ni is an essential element for improving toughness. In particular, the steel of the present invention used in a high hardness state is actively added to prevent unstable fracture. If less than 1.50%, the effect is not sufficient, so the lower limit is made 1.50%. If the amount is too large, the workability is impaired and the nitriding property is also inhibited, so the upper limit is made 2.50%.
[0017]
Cr is an essential element for improving the hardenability and ensuring the strength, and further increasing the nitriding property, that is, the surface hardness, and increasing the depth of the hardened layer. If less than 1.50%, the effect is not sufficient, so the lower limit is made 1.50%. If the amount is too large, the effect is saturated, and the quenching temperature rises, which is not economical, so the upper limit is made 2.50%.
[0018]
Mo is an element effective for improving hardenability, strength, toughness, and nitriding properties, and is positively added in the steel of the present invention. If less than 0.30%, the effect is not sufficient, so the lower limit is made 0.30%. Moreover, since the effect will be saturated and it will become economical if it is too much, an upper limit shall be 1.00%.
[0019]
V is an element having a large effect of improving the temper softening property, improving the hardenability, strength, and toughness with an appropriate addition amount, and improving the depth of the hardened layer particularly with respect to nitriding properties. Furthermore, the steel according to the present invention is an essential element for improving the settling property. If it is less than 0.05%, the effect is not sufficient, so the lower limit is made 0.05%. Further, if it exceeds 0.30%, the effect is saturated, the quenching temperature rises, and the addition amount is not economical, so the upper limit is made 0.30%.
[0020]
Al is an element added for deoxidizing agents and controlling the grain size, and plays an important role in nitriding properties. If less than 0.010%, the effect is not sufficient, so the lower limit is made 0.010%. Furthermore, when the amount is too large, the toughness is lowered, the appearance probability of alumina, giant AlN precipitates and the like harmful to fatigue properties is increased, and the fatigue strength is lowered. Therefore, the upper limit is made 0.030 %.
[0021]
O is an element present in the steel as an oxide-based inclusion, and it is preferably as small as possible with respect to steel material characteristics, particularly fatigue strength. If it is 10 ppm or less, it is possible to produce a steel material at a sufficient level even if the steel material is economical and characteristic, so the upper limit is made 10 ppm.
[0022]
N is an element inevitably present in the steel and forms Al and AlN to contribute to refinement of the crystal grain size and thus toughness. If it is less than 80 ppm, the effect is not sufficient, and if it exceeds 150 ppm, the lowering of toughness and the soundness of the steel ingot are adversely affected.
[0023]

In addition, the steel material is annealed and then processed into a rough shape for applicable parts such as pistons for hydraulic breakers, followed by quenching and tempering, followed by nitriding after intermediate processing and final finishing. Polishing is done to make the final product of applicable parts such as piston for hydraulic breaker. In the above, quenching is usually performed from a temperature of about 850 to 900 ° C. Therefore, quenching from a high temperature exceeding 950 ° C. like tool steel is unnecessary, which is economical.
