Definitions

  • ABSTRACT Low carbon and low alloy fine grain steels exhibiting improved machinability, especially by high speed steel tools used in gear cutting operations, are produced by a new calcium deoxidation practice in which: (1) the amount of calcium added to the molten steel in pounds per ton is at least 0.25 plus 13.33 times the oxygen content (percent by weight) of the steel at the time of addition, (2) the temperature of the steel at the time of the calcium addition is from 30 to 120 F. above the calculated liquidus temperature, and (3) the calcium addition is at least in part made to the ladle when it is from about one-third to two-thirds full.
  • the calcium deoxidized steels are characterized by calcium aluminate instead of alumina inclusions and by type 1 instead of type II sulfides, with the sulfides being present as manganese sulfide and/or calcium manganese sulfide coatings which surround the calcium aluminate particles.
  • the invention is particularly concerned with the provision of fine grain, low carbon and low alloy steels for the production of gears, pinions, worms, etc. used in differential, transmission and steering mechanisms of automobiles, trucks, tractors and off-the-road equipment.
  • Automotive pinions, gears, worms, and the like are structural power-transmitting members. Since the power transmission in these members is done through the gear teeth, the gear teeth must (a) withstand high static and dynamic contact and bending loads, (b) resist bending and contact fatigue, and provide wear resistant, score-free smooth contact surfaces for quiet and efficient operation. It has been the usual practice to use carburizing grade, low alloy or carbon steels in order to provide the combination of required core and surface properties. These carburizing grade steels have been conventionally made by fine grain, aluminumsilicon deoxidizing practice to achieve consistent case and core properties after carburizing.
  • gear cutter wear and failure has been a serious problem.
  • the most common gear cutter wear characteristics are (a) nose or tip wear which occurs at the tip of the cutter blades, (b) nicking or chipping of the cutting edge, (e) wearland which affects the overall surface finish and dimensional tolerance of gear tooth profiles, (d) chip wash wear which is caused by the chips flowing acorss the rake face and down the backside of the tool, and (e) a built-up deposit of highly deformed workpiece material on the cutting edge. All of these characteristic wear features of high speed steel tools take place primarily as abrasive wear at the clearance face of the tools.
  • Free-machining additives such as lead, selenium, tellurium, nitrogen or phosphorous are generally not added to gear steels because of the danger of degrading hot working and mechanical properties and also because of the cost. Moreover, the use of such freemachining additives in aluminum-silicon deoxidized steels is not especially effective in preventing abrasive wear of high speed steel tools which typically operate with relatively low cutting temperatures in the range of from about 300 to 800F.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a calcium deoxidized steel which is characterized by superior machinability.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a fine grain gear steel produced by a calcium deoxidation practice.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a calcium deoxidation practice which makes it possible in the large scale, commercial production of steel to achieve the desired effects of calcium on morphology of the non-metallic inclusions.
  • Still another object of the present invention is to provide a calcium deoxidation practice which is especially useful in the large scale, commercial production of fine grain, machining steels for gears and the like.
  • the preferred embodiments of the present invention contemplate a production method of calcium deoxidation which has been specially developed for making fine grain steels, particularly improved machining gear steels.
  • calcium in the form of one or more calcium bearing alloys is added to the molten steel when it is at a temperature in the range of from 30 to 120F. above the calculated liquidus temperature, the amount of the calcium addition in pounds per ton of steel being at least equal to 0.25 plus 13.33 times the oxygen content of the steel at the time of addition.
  • the preferred method is carried out by adding the calcium to the ladle between the time it is from onethird to two-thirds full, and by adding the aluminum required for grain refinement no later than simultaneously with the calcium.
  • the preferred method as generally described above makes it possible consistently to achieve the desired calcium effects on morphology of the non-metallic inclusions, whereby the new calcium deoxidized steels are characterized by the absence of harmful alumina inclusions and type II sulfides.
  • the calcium and aluminum are present in the calcium aluminate phase, while the sulfides are present in globular or type I form.
  • the sulfides are combined in a calcium-manganese sulfide phase which forms coatings around the calcium aluminate particles.
  • a new family of improved machining, low carbon and low alloy steels having the characteristics described above has been developed using the new calcium deoxidation practice of the invention.
  • the life of gear cutting tools such as rougher and finisher cutters, has been improved by 70% to 100% or more.
  • the new calcium deoxidized steels of the invention exhibit hardenability, carburizing and heat treatment response which is at least equivalent to that of conventionally aluminum-silicon deoxidized fine grain steels.
  • the mechanical properties such as impact strength, tensile strength, ductility and fatigue resistance of the new calcium deoxidized steels are essentially the same as conventionally aluminum-silicon deoxidized steels.

  • FIG. 14 is a plot of tool life against cutting speed in connection with a calcium deoxidized steel of the present invention and a conventionally aluminum-silicon deoxidized steel;

  • FIG. 17 shows typical results of pinion gear production performance tests using calcium deoxidized steels of the present invention and conventionally aluminumsilicon deoxidized steels.
  • Typical steels include carburizing grade steels of the S.A.E.- /A.I.S.I. 1500 series, such as grades 1524-1527; the S.A.E./A.I.S.I. 4000 series, such as grades 4023, 4027, 4028, 4118, 4422, 4427 and 4620; the S.A.E./A.I.S.I. 5000 series, such as grade 5130; the S.A.E./A.I.S.I.
  • the invention is also applicable to through-hardening steels such as S.A.E.- /A.I.S.I. grades 4340, 8640, moderately alloyed hot worked die steels such as A.I.S.I. L6, and the like. Still other steels which benefit from the calcium deoxidizing treatment of the invention are standard boron steels such as 94Bl7 and the like.
  • fine grain steels have been made by aluminum-silicon deoxidation practices using sufficient aluminum to obtain an A.S.T.M. grain size of from about 5 to about 8 (regular McQuaid-Ehn), with a size of about 7 or 8 being the most typical.
  • Vanadium may be substituted for aluminum, but is not preferred because of the higher cost.
  • the aluminum is added in an amount of from about 0.015 to 0.1% by weight with the preferred range being from about 0.03 to 0.06% by weight.
  • the aluminum or low aluminum plus vanadium as conventionally added for grain refinement produces hard oxide inclusions (vanadium predominately precipitates as a carbide phase after heat treatment) and type II sulfides of which the former has been found to be the primary cause of abrasive wear of high speed steel tools.
  • This problem has been particularly severe in the case of continuous or strand cast steels where the large oxide inclusions have greater tendency to be trapped in the solidifying metal because of the faster freezing times as compared to ingot cast steels.
  • the present invention provides a method of calcium deoxidation which effectively reduces or eliminates the occurrence of aluminum oxide inclusions and type II sulfides in ingot cast and strand cast fine grain steels produced by open hearth, electric furnace and basic oxygen furnace melting.
  • the calcium deoxidized steels of the invention are characterized by the relatively softer calcium aluminate phase which is generally surrounded by an even softer calcium-manganese sulfide phase.
  • the improved inclusion morphology is further characterized by the more desirable globular or type I manganese sulfides as distinguished from type II sulfides.
  • the invention is carried out by adding calcium to the molten steel in the form of calcium bearing alloys.
  • Suitable alloys include calcium-silicon alloys, calciumbarium-silicon alloys, calcium-barium-silicon aluminum alloys, calcium-barium-silicon-manganese alloys, calcium-barium-silicon-manganese-aluminum alloys, and the like, as well as selected combinations.
  • Strontium may be substituted in part or full for barium.
  • the selected calcium bearing alloy includes aluminum, it may be used to provide the entire amount of aluminum needed for grain refinement, thereby avoiding the necessity of a separate aluminum addition.
  • the more preferred alloys are those which contain barium.
  • Barium is believed to lower the vapor pressure of calcium and to modify its reactivity during addition to liquid steel so that sufficient calcium is present to combine with aluminum, silicon and oxygen for producing the desired modification of oxide inclusions.
  • the most preferred alloy which has been found to produce consistent calcium deoxidizing effects is an alloy of calcium, aluminum, barium and silicon.
  • Amount of Calcium The amount of calcium which is required to obtain the desired deoxidizing effects and to produce a fine grain steel characterized by the absence of alumina inclusions depends upon the oxygen content of the steel as determined by the tap carbon. Lower carbon steels require larger amounts of calcium, and higher carbon steels require smaller amounts of calcium. In order to achieve consistent and effective inclusion control in fine grain steels, it has been determined that the minimum calcium addition in pounds per ton of steel should be 0.25 plus 13.33 times the oxygen content (percent by weight) of the steel at the time of addition. Increasing benefits of calcium can be obtained by additions up to a maximum amount per ton of steel of about 0.85 plus 13.33 times the oxygen content (percent by weight) ofthe steel at the time of addition.
  • Time and Manner of Calcium Addition The practice of the invention is add at least part of the required amount of calcium to the molten steel when it is tapped or poured into the ladle.
  • the calcium bearing alloy or alloys should be added to the ladle when it is between about one-third to two-thirds full in order to assure good distribution in the metal.
  • a portion of the calcium also can be added to the tundish and/or the ingot molds.
  • the calculated amount of calcium in the form of one or more alloys is added to the ladle in the described manner and subsequent additions are made to the tundish and/or ingot molds to make up for ladle losses.
  • Effective inclusion control is achieved by adding the calcium to the molten steel simultaneously with or subsequent to the aluminum addition.
  • Aluminum additions subsequent to calcium deoxidation have been found to promote alumina inclusions.
  • the temperature of the molten steel at the time when the calcium bearing alloy is introduced should be within the range of from 30F to 120F. above the calculated liquidus temperature. Depending upon the particular steel making process, the temperature may vary slightly within the indicated range with electric furnace steels being deoxidized at somewhat higher temperatures than basic oxygen furnace and open hearth steels.
  • Table I sets forth 15 examples of calcium-aluminum deoxidized fine grain steels produced in accordance with the preferred practice of the invention as described above by basic oxygen furnace, electric furnace and open hearth steel making processes.
  • the table lists the amount of calcium added, the ladle temperature at the time of addition, the oxygen content, and the final chemistry.
  • the aluminum and calcium were added as a calcium-barium-siliconaluminum alloy having the following nominal composition in percent by weight: calcium 12.0%, barium 10.0%, silicon 40.0%, aluminum 20.0% iron balance.
  • the calcium deoxidized steels of the invention are generally characterized by a composition comprising in percent by weight up to 0.70 carbon, more preferably from 0.13 to 0.70 carbon, up to 1.65 manganese, preferably from 0.45 to 1.65 manganese, up to about 0.09 sulfur, up to 0.45 silicon, from .015 to 0.1 aluminum, preferably from 0.03 to 0.06 aluminum, at least 0.0002 calcium, and normal amounts of phosphorous, copper and nitrogen.
  • the preferred upper limit of calcium is about 0.003.
  • the preferred steels also may include one or more alloying additions including in percent by weight up to 3.50 nickel, up to 3.50 chromium, up to 0.35 vanadium, up to 0.80 molybdenum, and the usual amounts of boron present in standard boron steels, i.e., from about 0.0005 to 0.0015 boron.
  • the disclosed calcium content of steels produced in accordance with the invention has been determined by known spectrographic methods using solid samples in order to reduce contamination and sample preparation time.
  • the spectrographic method employed was based on primary control standards published by the National Bureau of Standards as SRM 1261, 1262 and 1264 and was supplemented by suitable secondary control standards in order to obtain a calibration curve effective to determine residual calcium in a range of from 0.000l% to 0.02% ⁇
  • the calcium content of a heat has been determined from samples taken from the top, middle and bottom portions of the first, middle and last ingots in the heat.
  • the calcium content of a heat has been determined from samples taken from the first, middle and last billets from each strand. In all cases, the samples were taken from the outer 20% of the ingots and billets.
  • Selenium and/or lead may be included to advantage in the steels of this invention.
  • Selenium represents a partial substitute for sulfur with the result that the inclusions in the steel tend to be more globular.
  • se lenium When se lenium is present, it combines with the sulfur to form Mn Ca (S Se) coatings on the calcium aluminate particles which enhance machinability. Amounts of selenium in the range of from 0.01 to 0.15 percent by weight are sufficient to promote the desired effect.

  • the calcium aluminate inclusions of the type shown in FIGS. l-6 are significantly softer than the alumina inclusion of FIGS. 7l2.
  • the calcium aluminate inclusions are surrounded by a still softer calcium, manganese sulfide phase, making the composite inclusion substantially less hard and less abrasive than the alumina inclusions.
  • An important aspect of the invention is that the heat treat response to annealing, carburizing, and the hardenability response for the new calcium deoxidized steels is similar to that of conventional aluminumsilicon deoxidized steels.

These tests were carried out on several carbon and alloy grades of calcium deoxidized and aluminum-silicon deoxidized gear steels. In all cases, the tool wear increased rapidly for aluminum-silicon deoxidized steels as compared to the calcium deoxidized steels of the invention. Typical results on a 8620 grade steel are plotted in FIG. 15. As can be seen from this figure, almost twice as much volume of the calcium deoxidized steel can be removed as compared to that of the corresponding grade aluminum-silicon deoxidized steel prior to reaching the stage of rapid rise of wearland wear.
