Definitions
- the present invention relates to spring steel used for engine valve springs and suspension springs, and is particularly cold-coiled and has high strength and high toughness.
- the present invention relates to spring steel and steel wire.
- nitriding and shot peening are known to increase the surface hardness and dramatically improve durability against spring fatigue, but the sag characteristics of springs are not determined by the surface hardness. The strength or hardness inside the spring material is greatly affected. Therefore, it is important to make it a component that can maintain an extremely high internal hardness.
- elements such as V, Nb, and Mo are added to form fine carbides that are solidified by quenching and precipitated by tempering, thereby restricting the movement of dislocations and improving sag resistance.
- elements such as V, Nb, and Mo are added to form fine carbides that are solidified by quenching and precipitated by tempering, thereby restricting the movement of dislocations and improving sag resistance.
- hot coiling is performed by heating to the austenitic region of the steel, followed by quenching and tempering, and high strength steel wire that has been previously quenched and tempered.
- Cold There is a cold coiling to be used.
- Cold coiling can use oil tempering or high-frequency treatment, which can be rapidly heated and cooled quickly when producing steel wire, so it is possible to reduce the old austenite grain size of the spring material. As a result, it is possible to manufacture springs with excellent fracture characteristics.
- the equipment such as the heating furnace in the spring production line can be simplified, there is an advantage for the spring manufacturer, such as reducing the equipment cost. Cooling is being promoted through the use of rings.
- Zr addition is effective (see, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-105485), but the amount added is more than 1 Oppm (23 ppm in the example). Because it is added, it has a large effect on oxides, causing problems such as reduced fatigue strength and increased inclusion appearance.
- the present invention provides a spring steel having both high strength and good coiling properties by controlling oxides and sulfides in steel, which has not been noticed with conventional spring steel wires, by chemical elements.
- the present invention does not focus only on the coarse carbides found in steel wires.
- the present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and the gist thereof is as follows.
- a spring steel characterized by comprising the balance Fe and inevitable impurities, and further limited to Al ⁇ 0.01% and Ti ⁇ 0.003%.
- Occupied area ratio of equivalent circle diameter 0 or more is 7% or less
- austenite grain size number is 10 or more
- residual austenite ⁇ is 15% by mass or less
- a heat-treated steel wire for springs characterized in that the cementite with a circle-equivalent diameter of 2 m or more has a low density of soot-based carbides and the area ratio of the diluted region is 3% or less. 5022418

- the inventor can control the steel for springs that can obtain even better performance by defining chemical components to achieve both high strength and workability, and can control the shape of carbides in the steel by heat treatment.
- the inventors have invented a steel wire for springs that has sufficient coiling properties to produce a spring. Details are described below.
- C is an element that has a great influence on the basic strength of steel, and is set to 0.45 to 0.7% so that sufficient strength can be obtained. If it is less than 0.45%, sufficient strength cannot be obtained. In particular, in order to ensure sufficient spring strength even when nitriding is omitted to improve spring performance, C of 50% or more is preferred. Further, it is preferably 0.6% or more from the viewpoint of balance of strength-coiling.
- the relationship to the carbide dilute region is also close, and if it is less than 0.45%, the number of carbides is small, so the area ratio of the dilute region tends to increase, and sufficient strength and toughness or coiling (ductility) Is difficult to obtain. Therefore, it is preferably 0.5% or more, and more preferably 0.6% or more from the viewpoint of balance between strength-coiling.
- the amount of undissolved carbide, lenticular martensite, and undissolved carbide can be reduced by setting the content to 0.68% or less.
- Si is added as a deoxidizing element during steel production.
- spring steel it is an element necessary to ensure spring strength, hardness, and sag resistance. Due to lack of stability, 1.0% was set as the lower limit.
- Si also has the effect of spheroidizing and refining the carbide-based precipitates at the grain boundaries, and by adding it positively, it has the effect of reducing the area occupied by the grain boundaries.
- the upper limit was set at 3.0%.
- Si is also an element that contributes to temper softening resistance
- Mn is often used to deoxidize and fix S in steel as MnS, and to increase the hardenability and to obtain sufficient hardness after heat treatment. To ensure this stability, 0.05% is made the lower limit. In order to prevent embrittlement due to Mn, the upper limit was set to 2.0%. Further, in order to achieve both strength and coiling properties, it is preferably 0.1 to 1.5%. Considering the influence on the carbide dilute region, when suppressing segregation of residual austenite alloy elements, it is preferably as low as possible, less than 0.4%, and further preferably 0.3% or less. On the other hand, Mn is an effective element because it can easily impart hardenability when it is necessary to ensure hardenability as the diameter of the heat-treated steel wire increases. If priority is given to hardenability, it may be added in excess of 0.4%. However, it is effective to reduce it to 10% or less when considering the thinning of carbides.
- P hardens the steel, but further segregates and embrittles the material.
- P who prayed to the austenite grain boundaries, causes delayed fracture due to a drop in impact value and hydrogen penetration. Therefore, it is better to have less. Therefore, P, where the embrittlement tendency becomes remarkable, was limited to 0.015% or less.
- the content is preferably less than 0.01%. S: 0.0 15% or less
- MnS Like S, P also embrittles steel when present in steel. Although the effect of Mn is minimized, MnS also takes the form of inclusions, so the fracture characteristics deteriorate. In particular, high-strength steel may cause fracture from a small amount of MnS, and it is desirable to reduce S as much as possible. The upper limit was set at 0.015%, at which the adverse effects became prominent. Furthermore, when the tensile strength of the heat-treated steel wire is high such that it exceeds 2 150 MPa, it is preferable to make it less than 0.0 1%.
- N exists in the form of nitrides when alloying elements such as Ti and V are added to harden the matrix in the steel, affecting the properties of the steel wire.
- Steel added with Ti, Nb, and V facilitates the formation of carbonitrides, and tends to cause precipitation of carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides as pinning particles for austenite grain refinement. Therefore, it is possible to stably generate pinning particles under various heat treatment conditions applied until the spring is manufactured, and it is possible to finely control the austenite particle size of the steel wire. For this purpose, 0.0015% or more of N is added.
- N is also an element that lowers the hot ductility, so that considering the ease of heat treatment, it is preferably 0.009% or less. Further, it is preferable that the lower limit is also small, but if considering the ease of production in the denitrification step, 0.0015% or more is preferable. In addition, by pinning effects such as V and Nb, austenite during heat treatment In this case, it is preferable to add a certain amount of N, and 0.007% or more may be added.
- the upper limit is set to 0.01% in order to significantly reduce the spring performance.
- the amount of oxygen should be small, but even if it is less than 0.0002%, the effect is saturated, so this is the lower limit. In consideration of the ease of practical deoxidation process, it is desirable to adjust to 0.005 to 0.002%.
- W precipitates as carbides in the steel. Therefore, if one or two of these elements are added, these precipitates are formed, and temper softening resistance can be obtained, and tempering at high temperatures and strain relief annealing that is put in the process, such as nitriding, can be performed. Even after heat treatment, high strength can be achieved without softening. This suppresses a decrease in the internal hardness of the spring after nitriding, and facilitates hot setting and strain relief annealing, so that the fatigue characteristics of the final spring are improved. However, if too much W is added, the precipitates become too large and combine with carbon in the steel to produce coarse carbides.
- W is that, unlike other elements, the shape of carbide containing cementite is made finer. In addition, since carbonitride of W is produced only at low temperatures, such as Ti and Nb, W itself is unlikely to remain as undissolved carbide.
- temper softening resistance can be imparted by precipitation hardening.
- the internal hardness is not greatly reduced even during nitriding or strain relief annealing. If the added amount is 0.05% or less, no effect is seen.If it exceeds 1.0%, coarse carbides are formed, and mechanical properties such as ductility may be impaired. Therefore, the added amount of W is set to 0.05 to 1.0%. . Furthermore, if considering the ease of heat treatment, 0.1 to 0.5% is preferable. Considering the balance with strength, about 0.16 to 0.35% is more preferable.
- Cr is an effective element for improving the hardenability and temper softening resistance, but if added in large amounts, it not only increases the cost, but also coarsens the cementite wrinkles seen after quenching and tempering. As a result, the wire becomes brittle, making it easy to break during coiling. Therefore, in order to secure hardenability and resistance to temper softening, the lower limit is set to 0.05%, and the upper limit is set to 2.5% at which embrittlement becomes prominent.
- the amount added is 2.0% or less. More preferably 1.7 About%.
- the addition of Cr can deepen the hardened layer by nitriding. Therefore, the addition of 0.7% or more is preferable, and when adding hardening at nitriding and softening resistance at the nitriding temperature, adding over 1.0% is desirable. Addition of 1.2% or more is desirable especially when high strength and sag characteristics are required. Also, if Cr is added in a large amount, it may cause supercooled microstructure in the steel wire manufacturing process, and cementite-type spherical carbides are likely to remain. Therefore, considering the ease of heat treatment, 2 0% or less is preferable.
- Zr is an oxide and sulfide-forming element.
- oxides are finely dispersed, and like Mg, they become precipitation nuclei for MnS. As a result, fatigue durability is improved, and ductility is increased to improve coiling. If less than 0.001%, the effect is not seen, and even if added over 0.0005%, the formation of hard oxide is promoted, so even if the sulfide is finely dispersed, troubles due to oxide occur. It becomes easy.
- nitrides and sulfides such as ZrN and ZrS are generated in addition to oxides, which reduces manufacturing troubles and fatigue resistance characteristics of springs.
- the amount added is preferably 0.0003% or less. Although these elements are in trace amounts, they can be controlled by carefully selecting by-products and precisely controlling refractories.
- Zr refractories are used frequently in places such as ladle, tundish, nozzle, etc. that are in contact with molten steel for a long time, so about 1 ppm can be added to about 200 t of molten steel.
- auxiliary materials so that the specified range is not exceeded.
- 2 g was collected from the part of the steel to be measured which is not affected by the surface scale, and sampled in the same manner as Annex 3 of JISG 1237-1997. Can be measured by ICP.
- the calibration curve at KP is set to be suitable for trace amounts of Zr.
- A1 is a deoxidizing element and affects oxide formation. Since it is easy to form hard oxides, if added carelessly, hard carbides are formed and fatigue durability is reduced. Especially for high-strength springs, the fluctuation stability of the fatigue strength is reduced rather than the fatigue limit of the spring itself, and if the amount of A1 is large, the incidence of breakage due to inclusions increases. Required. In addition, from the viewpoint of sulfide control, adding Zr to finely disperse and spheroidize the sulfide will reduce the effect if the amount of A1 is too large. Absent. For this reason, it is necessary to suppress the strength of steel materials for high-strength springs more than before, and it is limited to 0.01% or less (including 0%). Further, when high fatigue strength is required, the content is preferably 0.002% or less.
- Ti is a deoxidizing element as well as a nitride and a sulfide-generating element, and therefore affects oxide and nitride and sulfide generation. Addition of a large amount tends to generate hard oxides and nitrides, so if added inadvertently, hard carbides are formed and fatigue durability is reduced. As with A1, especially in the case of high-strength springs, the stability of variation in fatigue strength is reduced rather than the fatigue limit of the spring itself, and if the amount of Ti is large, the incidence of fracture due to inclusions increases. Limited to 0.03% or less (including 0%).
- adding Zr adds a large amount of Ti to finely disperse and spheroidize the sulfide. Is not preferred. Therefore, it is necessary to limit the strength of steel for high-strength springs more than before, and the upper limit is 0.003%. Furthermore, when high fatigue strength is required, it is preferable to make it 0.002% or less. 5 022418 Good.
- Mo precipitates as carbides at a temperature about the tempering nitriding temperature By producing these precipitates, temper softening resistance can be obtained, and high strength can be exhibited without being softened even after heat treatment such as tempering at high temperature or strain relief annealing put in the process or nitriding. This suppresses a decrease in the internal hardness of the spring after nitriding, and facilitates hot settling and strain relief annealing, thus improving the final spring fatigue characteristics.
- the precipitates become too large and combine with carbon in the steel to produce coarse carbides. This reduces the amount of C that should contribute to increasing the strength of the steel wire, making it impossible to obtain the strength equivalent to the added amount of C.
- the steel material is drawn in advance from a ferrite-perlite structure by a patenting process.
- the content is preferably 0.4% or less. Further, it is more preferably about 0.2%.
- V 0.05 to 1.0%
- V can be used to harden the steel wire at the tempering temperature and harden the surface layer during nitriding, in addition to suppressing the coarsening of the austenite grain size by the formation of nitrides, carbides and carbonitrides. If the added amount is 0.05% or less, the added effect is hardly observed. Addition of a large amount generates coarse undissolved inclusions and lowers toughness, and like Mo, it tends to cause a supercooled structure and easily causes breakage during cracking and wire drawing. Therefore, the upper limit is set to 1.0%, which is easy to handle industrially.
- V nitrides, carbides, and carbonitrides are generated even at austenization temperature A of the steel at 3 or higher, so if the solid solution is insufficient, it remains as undissolved carbides (nitrides).
- Nb can be used to harden the steel wire at the tempering temperature and harden the surface layer during nitriding, in addition to suppressing the coarsening of the austenite grain size by the formation of nitrides, carbides, and carbonitrides. If the added amount is less than 0.01%, the added effect is hardly observed. Addition of a large amount generates coarse undissolved inclusions and lowers toughness, and like Mo, it tends to cause a supercooled structure and easily causes breakage during cracking and wire drawing. That JP2005 / 022418 The upper limit was 0.05%, which is industrially stable and easy to handle. Nb nitrides, carbides, and carbonitrides are formed even at austenization temperature A of the steel of 3 points or higher. Therefore, if the solid solution is insufficient, it remains as undissolved carbides (nitrides). Cheap. Therefore, industrially, it is preferably 0.04% or less, and more preferably 0.03% or less.
- Ni improves the hardenability and can increase the strength stably by heat treatment.
- the ductility of the matrix is improved to improve the coilability.
- quenching and tempering increases residual austenite wrinkles, which is inferior in terms of sag and material uniformity after spring forming. If the amount added is 0.05% or less, no effect is observed in increasing strength and improving ductility.
- the addition of a large amount of Ni is not preferable, and if it is 3.0% or more, the residual austenite increases and the effect of increasing the hardenability and ductility is saturated, which is disadvantageous in terms of cost. Become.
- Co can reduce the hardenability, but can improve the high-temperature strength. Further, since it inhibits the formation of carbides, it functions to suppress the formation of coarse carbides that are a problem in the present invention. Therefore, coarsening of carbides including cementite can be suppressed. Therefore, it is preferable to add. When added, the effect is small at 0.05% or less. However, when added in a large amount, the hardness of the Ferai phase increases and the ductility decreases, so the upper limit was made 3.0%.
- B is effective in cleaning hardenability improving elements and austenite grain boundaries. Add B to elements such as P and S that reduce the toughness by praying to the grain boundaries, and improve the fracture characteristics. At that time, if B combines with N to generate BN, the effect is lost. The effect of the added amount is clear The lower limit is 0.0005%, and the upper limit is 0.0060% where the effect is saturated. However, even if a small amount of BN is formed, it will become brittle, and sufficient care must be taken not to generate BN. Therefore, it is preferably 0.003 or less, and more preferably, free N is fixed by a nitride-forming element such as Ti and B: 0.0010 to 0.0020% is effective.
- decarburization can be prevented by adding Cu.
- the surface layer is removed by a peeling process called “pilling”.
- the surface layer is removed by a peeling process called “pilling”.
- the fatigue life of the spring and the peeling process can be omitted.
- the effect of suppressing the decarburization of Cu can be demonstrated at 0.05% or more, and even if Ni is added as described later, if it exceeds 0.5%, it tends to cause rolling flaws due to embrittlement. Therefore, we set the lower limit to 0.05% and the upper limit to 0.5%.
- the amount of Ni added to prevent cracking during rolling is set to [Cu%] [Ni] according to the amount of Cu added. In the range of Cu 0.3% or less, no rolling flaws occur, so there is no need to regulate the amount of Ni added to prevent rolling flaws.
- Mg forms oxides in the molten steel at a temperature higher than the MnS formation temperature, and already exists in the molten steel when MnS is formed. Therefore, it can be used as MnS precipitation nuclei, which can control the distribution of MnS. Also for that number
- Mg-based oxides are finely dispersed in molten steel compared to Si and A-based oxides often found in conventional steels. Therefore, MnS with Mg-based oxides as the core will be finely dispersed in the steel. . Therefore, even if the S content is the same, the MnS distribution varies depending on the presence or absence of Mg, and the s'MnS particle size for adding them becomes finer. The effect can be obtained even in a small amount, and if Mg is added, MnS is refined.
- the Mg addition amount is set to 0.0001 to 0.01%.
- the content is preferably 0.0003% or less.
- these elements are in trace amounts, they can be added by about 0.0001% by frequently using Mg-based refractories. Also, Mg can be added by carefully selecting auxiliary materials and using auxiliary materials with low Mg content.
- the inclusions are highly sensitive, so it is desirable to further reduce the amount to 0.001% or less, and further to 0.0005% or less.
- This Mg is effective in improving corrosion resistance, delayed fracture and preventing rolling cracking due to the effects of MnS distribution, etc. It is desirable to add as much as possible, so the addition amount control in a very narrow range of 0.0002 to 0.0005% Is preferred.
- Ca is an oxide and sulfide-forming element.
- spheroidizing MnS suppresses the length of MnS as a starting point for fatigue and other fractures, making it harmless. The effect is not clear if it is less than 0.0002%, and even if added over 0.01%, not only the yield is poor, but also oxides and sulfides such as CaS are generated, and manufacturing trouble and fatigue resistance characteristics of the spring Since it is reduced, it was set to 0.01% or less.
- the amount added is preferably 0.001% or less.
- Hf is an oxide-forming element and serves as a precipitation nucleus for MnS. So fine When dispersed, Zr is an oxide and sulfide-forming element. In spring steel, oxides are finely dispersed, and like Mg, they become MnS precipitation nuclei. As a result, fatigue durability is improved, and the ductility is increased to improve the coilability. The effect is not clear if it is less than 0.0002%, and even if added over 0.01%, the yield is poor, and oxides, nitrides such as ZrN and ZrS, and sulfides are produced, resulting in manufacturing problems. And 0.01% or less because it reduces the fatigue endurance characteristics of the spring. This addition amount is preferably 0.003% or less.
- Te has the effect of spheroidizing MnS. If the content is less than 0.0002%, the effect is not clear. If the content exceeds 0.01%, the toughness of the matrix decreases, hot cracking occurs, and the fatigue durability decreases. The upper limit is 0.01%.
- Sb has the effect of spheroidizing MnS, and if it is less than 0.0002%, the effect is not clear. If it exceeds 0.01%, the toughness of the matrix decreases, hot cracking occurs, and fatigue durability decreases.
- the upper limit is set at 0.01%.
- non-metallic inclusions including sulfides are suitable for spring steel, and the effect can be reduced.
- the fatigue characteristics of the spring tend to be improved. Even when a surface hardening treatment such as nitriding is performed, higher fatigue properties and sag characteristics can be obtained if the basic strength of the steel wire is high. On the other hand, when the strength is high, the coiling property is lowered, and the spring manufacturing becomes difficult. Therefore, it is important not only to improve the strength, but also to give ductility that can be coiled at the same time. When used as a spring, not only fatigue durability but also sag is important, and heat treatment materials are used so that sag characteristics are good even under high load.
- a tensile strength of 2000 MPa or more.
- the coiling property decreases with increasing strength, it is necessary to use a component that achieves both temper softening resistance and coiling property. For this reason, it is desirable to have a chemical composition that makes this possible.
- the tensile strength be 2250 MPa, and more than 2300 MPa. Therefore, the present invention defines chemical components that are assumed to achieve both high strength and high workability after heat treatment.
- alloy elements such as C and other Mn, Ti, V, and Nb are added, but when a large amount of elements that form nitrides, carbides, and carbonitrides are added, they do not dissolve. Carbide tends to remain.
- undissolved carbide includes not only so-called alloy-based carbides in which the above alloy forms nitrides, carbides, and carbonitrides, but also cementite-based carbides mainly composed of Fe carbide (cementite).
- alloy carbides are complex carbides with nitrides (so-called carbonitrides), so here, these alloy-based carbides, nitrides, and their composite alloy precipitates are collectively referred to. It can be observed by mirror-polishing and etching these carbides. It can also be obtained by observation of carbonitrides using the transmission electron microscope replica method. These undissolved carbides, carbonitrides and nitrides, appear to be spherical because they are sufficiently dissolved during heating, and greatly reduce the mechanical properties of steel wires.
- Figure 1 shows a typical observation example. According to this, there are two types of matrix acicular and spherical structures in steel.
- steel is known to form a martensitic needle-like structure by quenching and to generate carbides by tempering to achieve both strength and toughness.
- this spherical structure is undissolved carbide, and its distribution is a spring steel. It has been found that the performance of the wire is greatly affected.
- This spherical carbide is considered to be a carbide that has not been sufficiently dissolved in quenching and tempering by oil tempering or high-frequency treatment, and has been spheroidized and grown or reduced in the quenching and tempering process.
- Carbides of this size do not contribute at all to the strength and toughness by quenching and tempering. For this reason, it was found that not only was C wasted while fixing C in the steel, but also was a source of stress concentration, leading to a decrease in the mechanical properties of the steel wire.
- Occupied area ratio of circle equivalent diameter 0.2 m or more is 7% or less
- carbides affect its coiling properties, that is, bending properties up to fracture.
- the strength is too high and the deformability is insufficient.
- the cause may be coarse carbides precipitated in the steel.
- Figures 2 (a) and (b) show examples of analysis by EDX attached to SEM. The same analysis results can be obtained for the replica method using a transmission electron microscope. It is done.
- the conventional invention focuses only on carbides of alloy elements such as V and Nb, an example of which is shown in Fig. 2 (a), which is characterized by very small Fe peaks in the carbides.
- Fig. 2 (a) which is characterized by very small Fe peaks in the carbides.
- cementite which has a slightly solid solution of Fe 3 C with an equivalent circle diameter of 3 m or less and an alloy element as shown in Fig. 2 (b). It was found that the precipitation form of the carbides is important.
- cementite-based spherical carbides When achieving both high strength and workability higher than those of conventional steel wires as in the present invention, if there are many cementite-based spherical carbides of 3 ⁇ m or less, the workability is greatly impaired.
- the carbides that are spherical and have Fe and C as the main components as shown in Fig. 2 (b) will be referred to as cementite-based carbides.
- carbides in steel can be observed by subjecting a mirror-polished sample to etching such as picral, but for detailed observation and evaluation of its dimensions, etc., observe it with a scanning electron microscope at a magnification of 3000 times or more.
- the cementite type spherical carbide of interest here has a circular equivalent diameter of 0.2 to 3 m.
- carbides in steel are indispensable for securing the strength and resistance to temper softening of steel, but their effective particle size is 0.m or less. There is no contribution to diameter miniaturization, it simply degrades the deformation characteristics. However, this importance is not recognized so much in the conventional technology, and attention is paid only to alloy carbides such as V and Nb.
- Carbides with an equivalent circle diameter of 3 or less, especially cementite spherical carbides, are considered harmless. There have been no studies on carbides of about 0.1 to 5 m, which are the main subject of the invention.
- the occupation area on the microscopic surface is defined as 7% or less.
- the former austenite grain size has a great influence on the basic properties of steel wires as well as carbides.
- old austenite The smaller the grain size, the better the fatigue characteristics and the better the coiling.
- no matter how small the austenite particle size the effect is small if the above-mentioned carbide is contained more than specified.
- the old austenite grain size number is less than 10
- sufficient fatigue properties cannot be obtained, so it is prescribed that the old austenite grain size number is 10 or more. did.
- finer particles are preferred for application to high-strength springs. 11 and even 12 and higher achieve both high strength and coiling. It becomes possible to make it.
- Residual austenite often remains in the segregation area near the area between old austenite grain boundaries and subgrains. Residual austenite wrinkles become martensite due to work-induced transformation, and when induced and transformed during spring forming, local high-hardness parts are generated in the material, and rather the coiling characteristics as a spring are degraded. Also, if a recent spring has a manufacturing process that includes multiple processes of plastic deformation, such as shot peening or setting, which performs surface strengthening by plastic deformation, the work-induced martensite generated at an early stage is destroyed. Reduces strain and reduces workability and fracture characteristics of the spring in use. In addition, even when industrially inevitable deformations such as cracks are introduced, they are easily broken during coating.
- the residual austenite is reduced as much as possible, and the processability is improved by suppressing the formation of process-induced martensite. Specifically, if the amount of residual austenite exceeds 15% (mass%), the sensitivity to crushing and so on becomes higher, and it easily breaks during coiling and other handling, so it was limited to 15% or less. .
- the amount of retained austenite varies depending on the amount of alloying elements such as C and Mn and the heat treatment conditions. Therefore, it is important to enhance not only the component design but also the heat treatment conditions.
- start temperature Ms point, end temperature Mi point When the martensite generation temperature (start temperature Ms point, end temperature Mi point) is low, martensite is not generated unless the temperature is sufficiently low during quenching, and residual austenite tends to remain.
- Industrial quenching PT / JP2005 / 022418 uses water or oil, but the suppression of residual austenite wrinkles requires a high degree of heat treatment control. Specifically, it is necessary to maintain the cooling refrigerant at a low temperature, maintain a low temperature as much as possible after cooling, and ensure a long transformation time to martensite.
- the temperature of the cooling refrigerant easily rises to close to 100 ° C, but it is preferable to maintain it at 60 T: or less, and it is also as low as 40 or less. Is more preferable. Furthermore, in order to sufficiently promote the martensite transformation, it is necessary to hold it in the cooling medium for 1 s or longer. It is also important to secure the holding time after cooling.
- Figure 2 shows an example of a picture taken at a set magnification of 5000 times.
- Fig. 3 (b) A and B microstructures as shown in A and B show carbides. 5 022418 We considered it as a sparse region and found it important to control the area ratio.
- Figures 4 and 5 show examples of the enlargement of the heterogeneous part of the carbide distribution as shown in Fig. 3 (b).
- Fig. 3 (b) Inside, fine carbides are precipitated in a disperse form different from the surrounding structure, the frequency of their existence is extremely low, and even if carbides are not clearly seen, they are deeply corroded from the surroundings, resulting in recesses. Is forming.
- the carbides appear white in the observation image. Therefore, in the present invention, when the occupied area of the carbides observed in the corroded and recessed region is 60% or less, the carbides are diluted.
- carbide is deposited in this carbide dilute region, there are both cases where needle-like or dendritic carbides are seen in the recessed regions (Fig. 4) and cases where granular carbides are seen (Fig. 5).
- the size of the fine carbide is as follows: (1) In the case of acicular or dendritic carbide, the individual thickness is 0.3 ⁇ m or less. (2) In the case of granular carbide, the equivalent circle diameter is 0.7 ⁇ m or less.
- Regions with larger carbides were excluded from carbide dilute regions. Regions with a dilute carbide distribution selected in this way and having an equivalent circle diameter of 2 m or more will affect the mechanical properties and cannot be ignored. Therefore, such a carbide dilute region with an equivalent circle diameter of 2 m or more was specified.
- the steel wire is polished and electrolytically etched.
- electrolytic etching current is generated at a low potential using a sample as an anode and platinum as a cathode in an electrolyte (a mixture of 10% by weight of acetylacetone, 1% by weight of tetramethylammonium chloride, and the remaining component methyl alcohol). The surface of the sample is corroded by electrolysis using an apparatus.
- the potential should be constant at a potential suitable for the sample in the range of 50 to 200 mV vs s SCE.
- a potential suitable for the sample in the range of 50 to 200 mV vs s SCE.
- it is usually appropriate to keep constant at 1 lOOmV vs s SCE.
- the amount of energization depends on the total surface area of the sample material, and “total surface area of the material” X 0.133 [c / cm 2 ] is the energization amount. Even if the sample is embedded, the total surface area of the sample is calculated by adding the area of the sample surface buried in the resin. After holding the current for lOsec, it is possible to easily observe carbide and microstructure in the steel such as cementite with a scanning electron microscope by stopping the current flow and washing.
- a carbide dilute region By observing this corroded surface with a scanning electron microscope at a magnification of 1000 times or more, a carbide dilute region can be identified. In the observation of microstructure after etching with a scanning electron microscope, carbides appear white in the observed image, so a candidate region of a carbide thin region is photographed with a scanning electron microscope.
- the magnification is 1000 times or more, preferably 5000 to 10,000 times.
- the size of the candidate region of this carbide dilute region is 2 If it is less than this, the region has little effect on the mechanical properties, so it is ignored. On the other hand, if the size of the candidate region for this carbide dilute region is 2 ⁇ m or more in the equivalent circle diameter, the internal carbide distribution is measured.
- Carbide lean region candidate regions included in the photographed carbide lean region candidate regions are binarized by the image processor Luzex, and the area of the candidate region and the equivalent circle diameter and area occupied area of the carbide in the candidate region and the circle Each equivalent diameter was measured, and when the area occupied by the carbide was 60% or less of the candidate area, the candidate area was defined as a lean carbide area.
- the area and equivalent circle diameter of the extracted carbide thin region extracted in this way are calculated by an image processing device, and the occupation area ratio of the carbide diluted region with a circle equivalent diameter of 2 zm or more that is found in the measurement visual field is measured. Then, it was stipulated that it would be 3% or less.
- the observation area was randomly observed near the center of the radius of the heat treated wire (steel wire), the so-called 1/2 R part, and the measurement area was 3000 xm 2 That's it.
- the coiling property is good, and even if the strength exceeds 2200MPa, the coiling property is not impaired, and good coiling is achieved. Is possible. Therefore, we set it as the upper limit.
- the coiling property is better when the carbide lean region is smaller. Therefore, it is preferably 1% or less.
- spring steel is drawn after continuous forging through billet rolling and wire rolling, and cold coiling springs are given strength by oil tempering or high-frequency treatment. At that time, the cementite carbide lean region is suppressed. In order to control this, it is important to avoid local inhomogeneities in the material and make the heat-treated structure homogeneous, and it is important to have a homogeneous and proper tempered martensite structure. At that time, it was found that a tempered structure of lath martensite is preferable.
- Tempered lath martensite (1) Undissolved carbide, (2) Segregation, (3) Residual austenite, (4) Coarse old austenite grains, (5) Lens martensite (6) Local bait is considered. These (1) to (6) greatly affect the distribution of carbides after heat treatment of spring steel wires, and suppressing them is effective in reducing the area ratio of cementite-based carbide lean regions. Inhomogeneous, hard inclusions can be considered, but it is not necessary to consider because they hardly change during heat treatment such as quenching and tempering.
- cementite-based spherical carbides and alloy-based carbides are thought to have grown with undissolved cementite-alloy carbides as the core during rolling, so that the components are sufficiently dissolved in each heating step such as rolling. This is very important.
- it has been found that it is important to heat and roll at a high temperature at which it can be sufficiently dissolved in rolling and to use it for wire drawing.
- lenticular martensite originally has a large amount of c and other alloying elements, it tends to form a thin film.Therefore, even if there is a large amount of undissolved carbide, there are many additive elements other than Fe containing C, which is a basic component. In some cases, lens martensi erosion is likely to occur, causing tissue heterogeneity.
- heating is performed once at a temperature exceeding 1100 ° C before heat treatment drawing, and rolling is completed within 5 minutes after extraction so that precipitates do not grow greatly.
- This heating temperature is preferably 1 150 ° C or higher, more preferably 1200 ° C or higher.
- heating is performed at a temperature of 900 ° C or higher during patenting before wire drawing and in the quenching and tempering process thereafter.
- the heating temperature during this patenting is preferably a high temperature, preferably 930 ° C or higher, and more preferably 950 ° C or higher.
- the heating rate is 10 / s or more, the temperature is 3 min. Or more, the holding time is 5 min or less, the cooling rate is 50 / s or more to 100 ° C or less, and the heating rate is more than lO Heat and treat the holding time at the tempering temperature at 15 min or less. From the viewpoint of solid solution of carbides, it is desirable to heat sufficiently higher than A3 point. On the one hand austenite ⁇ particle size It is preferable to finish in a short time so that 2418 does not grow.
- the quenching refrigerant is at a low temperature of 70 ° C or lower and 60 ° C or lower. This is to avoid the generation of residual austenite ⁇ ⁇ and Paynai ⁇ . It is also desirable to make the cooling time as long as possible to suppress residual austenite and complete the martensitic transformation sufficiently.
- the appropriate chemical composition and heat treatment appropriate to it are performed to suppress lens martensite, residual austenite, and segregation, and to reduce the old one particle size. It is effective.
- To reduce the particle size of the prior austenite it is effective to lower the heating temperature and shorten the heating time, but there is a risk of increasing the amount of undissolved carbide.
- In order to suppress the dilute region and achieve higher strength it is necessary to control the chemical components from the time of rolling so as to suit them, and to dissolve the alloy elements sufficiently even in intermediate heating processes such as patenting.

- Examples 6 1 to 63 contained a large amount of segregation shading elements such as C, Mn, and P, so the carbide dilute region became large, and sufficient coiling properties could not be secured.

- Examples 7 to 73 are examples in which the residual austenite exceeded the specified value because the cooling rate could not be secured even if the carbide dilution region was small. Austenite Although the grain size was small, the amount of residual austenite was intentionally increased by setting the cooling oil during quenching to 80 or more. As a result, the strength was insufficient and fatigue characteristics could not be secured.
