THREE-STAGE CARBON-NITROGEN-BORON TERNARY GAS DEEP CO-INFILTRATION
METHOD OF LOW-CARBON NICKEL-MOLYBDENUM STEEL
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present disclosure relates to the field of new materials, particularly to a three-stage carbon-nitrogen-boron ternary gas deep co-infiltration method of low-carbon nickel-molybdenum steel.
BACKGROUND ART
Drill bits are important tools for oil drilling. The drill bits used for oil drilling have the functions of impacting, crush- ing and shearing the formation rock when rotating, and their work- ing performance will directly affect the drilling quality, drill- ing efficiency and drilling cost. The conventional carburization technology has gradually become unsatisfactory.
In recent years, researchers have done a lot of work on the synthesis and preparation of boron-carbon-nitrogen materials, among which there are some reach basis of ternary co-filtration.
As disclosed in the Chinese patent application with publication number CN1442504A “A Boron-carbon-nitrogen Ternary Co-infiltration
Method” (application number: CN02109872.4), a solid boronizing agent is used to place in a carburizing furnace and separated from the workpiece; at the same time, the carbon and nitrogen co- infiltration liquid is dripped into a carburizing furnace respec- tively to form a ternary gas phase co-infiltration of boron, car- bon and nitrogen. The co-infiltration temperature is 750-870 °C, the co-infiltration speed is 0.15-0.2mm/hour, and oil cooling or water cooling is performed after discharge. This patented technol- ogy only considers the shallow co-infiltration technology under low temperature co-infiltration. The thickness of the infiltration layer is only 0.3 mm, mainly carburizing (C) and nitriding (N), and the infiltration of boron (B) at low temperature is seriously insufficient, which affects the impact toughness and other perfor- mance indexes and cannot meet the requirements of high hardness, high wear resistance and high impact resistance, such as oil drilling bits. At present, the carbon-nitride-boron co- infiltration technology of low-carbon nickel-molybdenum steels (for example, 20Ni3Mo, 20Ni4Mo) that can be searched can only ob- tain a co-infiltration layer thickness of less than 0.7 mm. Com- pared with the deep nitriding technology of European and American countries (the co-infiltration layer is about 1mm), Chinese deep nitriding or co-infiltration technology is still poor.
SUMMARY
In view of the current situations in the prior art, the ob- ject of the present disclosure is to provide a three-stage carbon- nitrogen-boron ternary gas deep co-infiltration method. For the low-carbon nickel-molybdenum steel, a three-stage ternary co- infiltration method with stepwise control of temperature and time is adopted, to obtain a deep co-infiltration layer. The thickness of the nitriding layer can reach 0.75-1.2 mm, which can signifi- cantly improve the fatigue life and impact toughness of low-carbon nickel-molybdenum steel and satisfy the needs for deep nitriding of oil drill bits and other parts.
In order to achieve the above object, the present disclosure adopts the following technical solutions: (1) preparing boronizing agent, uniformly mixing 2-3% by weight of rare earth lanthanum oxide, 5-15% by weight of boron carbide, 15% by weight of potassium fluoroborate, and the balance of silicon carbide, bonding and drying into solid blocks; mean- while, preparing carbonitriding liquid, wherein the carbonitriding liquid is composed of 50% by weight of carbamide, 40% by weight of sodium carbonate and 10% by weight of sodium chloride; (2) placing the low-carbon nickel-molybdenum steel drill bit workpiece to be treated in a drip-controlled carburizing furnace, heating to 860 °C, and exhausting for 1 hour; (3) carrying out a gas ternary deep co-infiltration process by a three-stage co-infiltration method: 3.1. The first stage is to carry out carburizing mainly, pre- serving heat for 2 h at the initial heating temperature of 860°C before carburizing, wherein the dripping speed of methanol is 40 drops/min, the dripping speed of kerosene is 120-160 drops/min,
the kerosene sulfur content is<0.04%+,the furnace pressure is 25-35 mmHg, the carburazing period is 5-8 hours, the diffusion period is 3-6 hours, and the infiltration rate is 0.18-0.25 mm/hour; 3.2. The second stage is to carry out carburizing and bo- ronizing on the basis of the carburizing in the first stage, add- ing solid boronizing agent prepared in the step 1 and sodium fluo- ride with a mass fraction of 40% to carry out carbon-boronizing in the furnace atmosphere according to the dosage of sodium fluoride at 30 g/h and boronizing agent at 40 g/h, in addition, adding dropwise by 10% mass fraction of boric acid at a dripping speed of 40 drops/min; or adding 50 g-60 g of boric acid solution to each liter of methanol mixture in the first stage according to the dos- age of boric acid between 0.83 g/min and 1g/min, wherein the car- bon-boronizing period is 1 h, then continuing to heat to 920 °C from the original 860°C, and preserving heat for 10 h; 3.3. The third stage is to carry out carburizing and nitrid- ing mainly, lowering the temperature from 920 °C to 870 °C-880 °C in the second stage, preserving heat for 6 h, adding carbonitrid- ing liquid prepared in the step 1 into the furnace atmosphere of the second stage, wherein the dripping speed is 4-6 ml/min, fur- thermore, introducing pure nitrogen N; at a rate of 0.03 m’/h to increase the depth of the co-nitriding layer, or dripping liquid ammonia at a drip rate of 0.09-0.12 liters/h to improve the ni- triding efficiency and the thickness of the co-infiltration layer; (4) performing furnace cooling or air cooling of co- infiltration parts.
Compared with the prior art, the present disclosure has the following advantages:
By using this method, the carbon-nitride-boron co- infiltration layer can be obtained with a thickness of about 0.75- 1.2 mm, and the obtained co-infiltration part has good hardness, wear resistance and fatigue resistance.
The present disclosure adopts a three-stage ternary co- infiltration process. The first stage is mainly carburizing (the mass percentage of carbon content is 0.8-1.6%) to prevent the ap- pearance of carbide mesh; the second stage is mainly carburizing and boronizing (the mass percentage of boron content is 0.02-
0.04%), which greatly improves the impact toughness and bending fatigue strength; the third stage is mainly carburizing and ni- triding (the mass percentage of nitrogen content is 0.3-0.5%), which greatly improves the red hardness. The method is suitable for low-carbon nickel-molybdenum steel wear parts or tool parts that have high requirements on wear resistance and impact tough- ness of hardness testers, and can significantly improve the hard- ness, wear resistance and fatigue life of workpieces; the prepara- tion of penetration agent is simple and the equipment technology is simple.
The above three-stage ternary co-infiltration method can greatly improve the fatigue life of low-carbon nickel-molybdenum steel. Compared with the conventional carburizing process, the service life is increased by more than 2 times, the hardness is increased by more than 3HRC, and the impact toughness is also dou- bled. These drill bits after surface modification by three-stage co-infiltration method have broad application prospects in the fields of precision machining, national defense industry and oil drilling, etc.

The first stage is to carry out carburizing mainly, pre- serving heat for 2 h at the initial heating temperature of 860 °C before carburizing, wherein the dripping speed of methanol is 40 drops/min, the dripping speed of kerosene is 160 drops/min, the kerosene sulfur content is<0.04%, to ensure carburizing quality, the furnace pressure is 35 mmHg, take a 20Ni4Mo steel drill bit workpiece with a diameter of 200 mm-300 mm, wherein the carburaz- ing period (tl) is 8 hours, the diffusion period (t2) is 5-6 hours (shown in Table 4), and the infiltration rate is 0.25 mm/hour; 3.2. The second stage is to carry out carburizing and bo- ronizing on the basis of the carburizing in the first stage, add solid boronizing agent prepared in the step 1 and sodium fluoride with a mass fraction of 40% to carry out carbon-boronizing in the furnace atmosphere according to the dosage of sodium fluoride at 30 g/h and boronizing agent at 40 g/h, in addition, in the first stage, add 60 g of boric acid solution to per liter of methanol mixture to control the amount of boric acid of 1 g/min, wherein the carbon-boronizing period is 1 h, then continue to heat to 920 °C from the original 860°C, and preserve heat for 10 h; 3.3. The third stage is to carry out carburizing and nitrid- ing mainly, lower the temperature from 920 °C to 880 °C in the second stage, preserving heat for 6 h (t3), add carbonitriding liquid prepared in the step 1 into the furnace atmosphere of the second stage, wherein the dripping speed is 5 ml/min, furthermore, introduce pure nitrogen N, at a rate of 0.03 m’/h to increase the depth of the co-nitriding layer at a drip rate of 0.12 liters/h to improve the nitriding efficiency and the thickness of the co- infiltration layer; (4) perform furnace cooling or air cooling of co-infiltration parts.
The parameters in the above steps are selected from the high- est values within the range of parameters. The co-infiltration temperature of the third stage is 880 ° C to obtain a deeper ter- nary co-infiltration layer with a carbon content of 0.81%, a ni- trogen content of 0.177% and a boron content of 0.033%. According to the method, the obtained ternary co-infiltration layer has a thickness of about 0.95-1.1 mm. The hardness of the surface layer is measured to be 1,000-1,150 HV under the above process, and the hardness of the infiltration layer at a thickness of 1 mm is still as high as 965 HV, and the wear resistance is about 2.5-3 times higher than that of the first stage of carburization, at this time, the dispersion degree of carbide is higher. In addition, a ternary co-infiltration layer with a high thickness is obtained, and the nitride and boride are dispersed. The thickness of the ni- tride layer is increased to 1.05 mm, the fatigue life is increased by 18-20 times, and the comprehensive performance is greatly im- proved.

(3) carry out carburizing only, preserve heat for 2 h at the initial heating temperature of 860 °C before carburizing, wherein the dripping speed of methanol is 40 drops/min, the dripping speed of kerosene is 140 drops/min (the kerosene sulfur content 1s<0.04%, to ensure the carburizing quality), the furnace pressure is 30 mmHg, for the 20Ni4Mo drill bits, the carburazing period (t 1) is 5-6 hours, the diffusion period (t 2 ) is 3-4 hours; for the 20Ni3Mo drill bits, the carburazing period (t 1) is 8 hours, the diffusion period (t 2 } is 5-6 hours (shown in Table 5), and the infiltration rate is 0.21 mm/hour; (4) perform furnace cooling or air cooling of co- infiltration parts after the above steps are completed.
After the end of the above steps, the obtained co- infiltration layer has a carbon content of about 1.2%, and a car- burized layer thickness of about 1.2-2.1 mm. After measurement, the surface hardness in this step is only 880-890HV, and the hard- ness of the infiltration layer when the distance from the surface thickness is 0.5mm is about 600 HV, and the hardness of the infil- tration layer when the distance from the surface thickness is 1mm is about 400HV. After carburizing, the wear resistance is in- creased by about 1 time and the carbides are distributed in a net- work.
