  • the C content used in the invention is much smaller than that of the conventional spring steel, which can change the martensite structure and improve the toughness of the spring steel.
  • Silicon strengthens the ferrite by solid solution, which improves the elasticity of the steel, but weakens the ductility and toughness of the steel, and greatly increases the tendency of decarburization and graphitization, generates inclusions, and deteriorates the fatigue properties of the spring. Therefore, in the present invention, it was found that when the silicon content is controlled within the range of 0.15 to 0.35 wt.%, the effect on the fatigue strength is the lowest.

Description

含氮微合金化弹簧钢及其制备方法 技术领域
本发明涉及一种弹簧钢，具体涉及一种含氮微合金化弹簧钢及其制备方法。
背景技术
弹簧作为装备制造的基础件、零部件之一，其规模品种的扩大、质量水平的提高是保障机械装备主机性能提高的先决条件。但是，我国弹簧行业的产业结构长期以来形成了低档普通弹簧供过于求、高档产品(高强度、高应力、异性件、特种材料)供不应求的被动形势。弹簧产品已经不能完全满足高端装备制造业的发展需要，轿车用悬架簧、气门弹簧、离合器弹簧以及机车、机械、电力、军工等行业用高级弹簧仍需要进口。此外，目前我国弹簧产品的性能与国外同类产品也有一定差距，如弹簧的负荷精度、垂直度精度等方面都存在差距，集中反映在性能不稳定、有些重要质量指标离散性大、使用寿命不稳定，特别是当主机要求弹簧在高速、高应力工况下工作时，矛盾更为突出。
弹簧钢是指由于在淬火和回火状态下的弹性，而专门用于制造弹簧和弹性元件的钢。按化学成分，分为非合金弹簧钢(碳素弹簧钢)和合金弹簧钢。随着汽车轻量化，发展高强度、延伸率高、断面收缩率高和抗疲劳性能的弹簧钢，将是提高我国高端装备零部件自主配套能力、有效替代进口的必然趋势。
发明内容
针对现有技术的不足，本发明的目的是提供一种含氮微合金化弹簧钢，具有机械强度高、延伸率大、断面收缩率高、抗疲劳性能好的优点；本发明同时提供其制备方法，科学合理，简单易行。
本发明所述的含氮微合金化弹簧钢，包括如下质量比的化学成分：
C：0.45-0.52％；Si：0.15-0.35％；Mn：0.90-1.10％；Cr：0.90-1.15％；Mo：0.10-0.25％；V：0.10-0.20％；Nb：0.025-0.04％；N：0.007-0.012％；Pb、Sn、Zn、Sb和Bi≤0.03％；O 2和H 2≤25ppm；S和P≤0.02％；Cu≤0.2％；Ni≤0.35％；余量为Fe。
各化学成分的用量标准和作用如下：
C：0.45-0.52wt.％；
碳是通过固溶强化，提高弹簧钢的弹性强度、硬度和耐磨性，但降低弹簧钢的塑性、韧性和疲劳强度，将C控制在0.45-0.52wt.％之内，与其它合金元素同在时，可获得最佳强度，疲劳寿命与经济效益的组合。本发明采用的C含量远小于常规的弹簧钢，能够改变马氏体组织形态，提高弹簧钢的韧性。
Si：0.15-0.35wt.％；
硅通过固溶强化铁素体，提高钢的弹性，但弱化钢的塑性和韧性，并剧烈增加脱碳和石墨化的倾向，产生夹杂物，恶化弹簧的疲劳性能。故在本发明中，发现硅含量控制在0.15-0.35wt.％内时，对疲劳强度的影响最低。本发明采用的Si含量远小于常规的弹簧钢，能降低对碳的排斥性，减少脱碳。
Mn：0.90-1.10wt.％；
Mn可以通过固溶提高钢的强度，同时，提高钢的淬透性，但过量的Mn会促进回火脆性，因此，需要将Mn的含量控制在0.90-1.10wt.％。
Cr：0.90-1.15wt.％；
铬通过固溶提高钢的强度，还能提高钢的淬透性，提高回火稳定性，有利于提高弹簧钢的性能与弥散沉淀，但过量的铬易形成碳化铬，降低钢的塑性、韧性，故将Cr的含量控制在0.90-1.15wt.％。
Mo：0.10-0.25wt.％；
Mo通过固溶提高钢的强度，强烈提高钢的淬透性，稳定碳元素，有益于提高弹簧钢的强度，但过量的Mo会改变钢的淬火曲线，倾向于羽毛状贝氏体的形成，不利于弹簧钢的疲劳强度，所以需要控制Mo的含量为0.10-0.25wt.％。
V与Nb，V：0.10-0.20wt.％，Nb：0.025-0.04wt.％；
V与Nb在钢中形成弥散细小的VC、NbC、VN或NbN，对基体剧烈强化，同时，细化晶界，阻止晶粒的长大，所以，可以得到细密高强度的组织，极大提高弹簧钢的强度与疲劳性能，但单一元素过量时，粒子易粗化，失去优异作用，故本发明采用两种元素的综合功能，经优化后，其最佳含量为V：0.10-0.20wt.％；Nb：0.025-0.04wt.％。
N：0.007-0.012wt.％；
N在钢中类似于碳的作用，通过更强的固溶强化，提高钢的弹性，强度和硬度，但对弹簧钢的塑性，韧性和疲劳强度的弱化比碳小，尤其是形成的马氏体为Fe-C-N结构，具有更高的疲劳强度，加氮的微合金化弹簧钢可具有更高的强度，韧性和疲劳寿命，70-120ppm的N含量是本发明确定的最佳含N量。
S和P≤0.02％；
钢中不可避免存在S、P等夹杂物，S、P与合金元素形成夹杂物，如MnS等，不仅抵消与合金元素的有益作用，而且S、P会产生偏聚，弱化钢的韧性，并成为疲劳裂纹源，严重降低了弹簧的疲劳强度，所以在该钢料中应严格控制S、P含量在0.02wt.％以内。
Cu≤0.2wt.％
由于弹簧要经历后续热加工，Cu会严重降低材料的热塑性，在锻造中易产生微裂纹，严重影响弹簧的强度，所以应严格控制，由于废料中含有铜线，故该钢料中应严格控制废料的Cu使用量≤0.2wt.％。
Ni≤0.35％；
镍可提高钢的强度与韧性，降低脆性转变温度，尤其是提高淬透性，但镍的价格极贵，所以尽量采用其他合金来满足性能要求。
本发明所述的弹簧钢的厚度为25-38mm。
通过金相检测发现，所述的弹簧钢的微观组织为铁素体和珠光体组织，并且只有铁素体和珠光体组织，不含其他组织。
所述的含氮微合金化弹簧钢的制备方法，将弹簧钢原料依次进行熔炼、精炼、真空脱气、连续浇注冷却成钢锭、钢锭剥皮，再加热连续轧制、控制冷却、淬火和回火，得所述的弹簧钢产品。
其中，所述的弹簧钢原料能够采用部分废钢，但是废钢中含有铜线等，因此，废钢的用量需要控制在弹簧钢原料总质量的20％以内。
所述的熔炼温度为1630-1700℃，时间为25-60分钟；所述的精炼温度为1500-1550℃，时间为20-60分钟，精炼过程采用电磁搅拌。采用电磁搅拌能够均匀显微组织结构。
所述的真空脱气，真空度≤130Pa。
所述的连续浇注冷却成钢锭，先以25-35℃/min降温至1150℃以下，然后自然冷却至室温。从而使夹杂物尽量限制在钢锭的中心线上，轧钢成材后，对产品的性能的危害降至最低。
所述的钢锭剥皮的深度为至少3.0mm。
所述的再加热连续轧制开轧温度为900-1100℃，终轧温度为850-900℃。以在奥氏体区进行轧制，发挥材料的最佳形变性能，并为后续的冷却提供有利条件。
所述的控制冷却具体为：首先快冷到600℃，然后保温慢冷至室温；快冷速度≥30℃/min，保温慢冷速度≤10℃/min。这样可以防止表面脱碳，并维持较低硬度，以利于后续的剪切加工。
所述的淬火方式为油淬，淬火温度为850-900℃，保温时间为1.0-1.5分钟/mm，回火温度为400-500℃。
本发明所述的微合金化弹簧钢的制备工艺，更进一步的，在转炉中投放原料，原料中废钢质量含量控制在20％以内，为了控制杂质含量，采用电磁搅拌和真空脱气，能使纤维组织结构均匀，且少气泡，少气孔，组织致密，真空脱气结束后，进行连铸，能够形成稳定的宏观组织，加热连续轧制，能保证均匀的尺寸组织；控制冷却温度，能减少脱碳层，保证剪切硬度，冷却至室温后，进行淬火，回火，得到成品。
与现有技术相比，本发明具有以下有益效果：
(1)本发明制备的含氮微合金化弹簧钢的性能如下：
