Background technology
Automobile brake drum is used under thermal fatigue and abrasive conditions, therefore, requires brake drum material to have good heat-resistant anti-fatigue performance and wear resisting property.Automobile brake drum generally adopts high-strength gray cast iron to produce, and its material developing direction is high thermal conductivity and high strength.Generally by improving carbon content and improving graphite form and improve thermal conductivity, by adding alloying element to improve intensity.The plain cast iron brake drum material trade mark is HT250, and carbon content 3.2-3.5% adds 0.3-0.6% copper, chromium alloying to process, and it is main requiring A type graphite, and perlite is more than 95%, and intensity is greater than 250MPa.
The cast iron brake drum technological process of production comprises: batching, melting, inoculation, cast, shake out, cleaning, machining, check, packing.
Plain cast iron brake drum thermal fatigue resistance is poor, and its failure mode is generally crack propagation of thermal fatigue and causes cracking.Thermal fatigue resistance depends on thermal conductivity and intensity, and thermal conductivity and intensity are higher, and thermal fatigue resistance is better.Improving thermal fatigue resistance can take measures from two aspects, and the one, improve carbon content to form more graphite and to improve graphite form, thereby improve thermal conductivity; The 2nd, by methods such as alloyings, improve intensity.Owing to increasing carbon content, can significantly reduce intensity, therefore, for taking into account thermal conductivity and intensity, carbon need be controlled in OK range.For improving intensity, conventional Ni, Cr, Mo, Cu etc. are element alloyed.At present, adopting maximum is to add Cr, Cu, and Cr low price improves intensity effect good, but add-on can not be too much, otherwise material is become fragile, Cu compares Ni, Mo low price, and belong to graphite element, favourable to graphite form, become the conventional high-intensity alloy element of carrying.Ni, Mo are expensive, less use.Plain cast iron brake drum thermal fatigue resistance and wearing no resistance, work-ing life is low, and need add precious alloy, and manufacturing cost is high.
Vanadium titanium exists with solid solution, precipitated phase and block compound form in cast iron, has refinement graphite and improves the effect that graphite form distributes and refinement strengthening matrix improves intensity and wear resistance.Vanadium titanium forms fine particle shape high rigidity carbon vanadium nitride and the titanium carbonitride (VC-HV2800, TiC-3300) that disperse distributes in cast iron, to improving wear resistance, plays a significant role.The tissue characteristic of vanadium-titanium cast iron is the distributing tiny particle of extreme hardness of disperse on the matrix of highly malleablized, makes it have the characteristic of the good and even wearing of wear resistance.Vanadium titanium improves its thermal fatigue resistance by improving cast iron normal temperature and hot strength, and the effect of vanadium titanium raising cast iron hot strength is more remarkable.Add precious alloy raising intensity different from plain cast iron brake drum, it is raw material that vanadium-titanium cast iron brake drum of the present invention adopts low-cost vanadium titanium iron, the vanadium titanium elements alloying of utilizing vanadium titanium iron to bring into, and not only alloying is effective, and production cost is low.Therefore, vanadium-titanium cast iron brake drum of the present invention has higher thermal fatigue resistance and wear resistance compared with plain cast iron brake drum, and work-ing life is higher, and has cost advantage.
