Disclosure of Invention
In order to solve the technical problem, the first aspect of the invention provides an anti-stripping roll material of a high-speed wire pre-finishing mill group, wherein the chemical components of the roll material comprise C, si, mn, cr, ni, mo, V, W, nb, fe and unavoidable impurities.
Preferably, the mass percentage of V, mo and W satisfies the condition that V+Mo+W/2=1.9-4.5%.
Further preferably, the chemical composition of the roll material comprises, by mass, 2.6 to 3.6% of C, 1.3 to 2.0% of Si, 0.5 to 0.8% of Mn, 1.5 to 3.0% of Cr, 1.0 to 2.5% of Ni, 0.2 to 0.8% of Mo, 1.5 to 3.2% of V, 0.5 to 1.0% of W, 0.12 to 0.25% of Nb, and the balance of Fe and unavoidable impurities.
The elements in the roller of the invention have the following functions in the roller:
c (carbon) is the most basic element in the roller material alloy, the content of the C determines the quantity of carbide, the relative quantity of M 7C3 type carbide and total carbide, hardness, toughness, hardenability of the material and the like, and the related test results show that the content of the C in the roller is controlled to be 2.6-3.6wt% in the invention.
The Si element can induce bainite nucleation in the alloy matrix of the roller material and improve the nucleation rate. The Si can refine eutectic cells, increase austenitizing temperature and increase supercooling degree delta T of austenite transformation, and small nuclear embryos generated in the austenite can be used as a bainite core and a martensite core; according to the different powers of bainite and martensite nucleation, the design of a heat treatment process is improved, and the contents of the bainite and the martensite are controlled. The test result shows that the Si element can better induce bainite transformation, refine the bainitic structure and improve the hardness and the toughness. On the other hand, silicon is an element which strongly promotes graphitization and inhibits carbide precipitation, and the increase of the silicon quantity ensures that ductile iron is inoculated sufficiently, so that graphite with a large quantity and tiny and round shape is obtained, namely eutectic cells are refined, and bainite tissues are also refined. Therefore, the Si content is preferably controlled to 1.3 to 2.0 wt%.
When the Mn content is unchanged, the Mn content is properly reduced to improve the comprehensive mechanical property of the bainite, and mainly because Mn is a positive segregation element, the austenitizing temperature is reduced, the carbon content in the austenite is increased, the activity of carbon is reduced, the austenite is stabilized, the transformation of the bainite is dragged, and Si is a negative segregation element, the austenitizing temperature is improved, the activity of carbon is increased, the transformation of the bainite is complete, and the performance is improved. The research result shows that the matrix structure is fine needle-shaped bainite structure after Mn is added, but with the increase of Mn content, the segregation of Mn in the structure is serious, the quantity of martensite at the grain boundary is increased, and carbide is distributed along the grain boundary, the quantity is increased, which leads to the reduction of toughness, so that the addition quantity of Mn is controlled below 0.8wt%, and the addition quantity of Mn is preferably 0.5-0.8wt% in the invention.
Cr (Cr) is the most important element in the alloy of the roller material, and the higher the ratio of M 7C3 type carbide, the better the hardenability, the Cr content needs to be controlled to obtain M 7C3 type carbide in the matrix, and experimental researches show that the Cr content is more than 1.5wt% and exists in the form of M 7C3 carbide, but as the Cr content increases, the eutectic point moves leftwards, and the C content and the Cr content need to be comprehensively considered, so that the Cr element exists in the form of carbide, and less Cr element exists in the matrix in the form of solid solution. This is because the rolled high alloy wire rod often contains a large amount of Cr due to the special property of the wire rod, and the steel sticking phenomenon often occurs when the Cr content of the solid solution in the roller matrix is too high, and a large number of experiments show that the steel sticking phenomenon occurs when the Cr content in the roller exceeds 3.0wt%, so that the mass percentage of Cr is controlled to be 1.5wt% < Cr <3.0wt%.
Ni (nickel) can refine matrix and strengthen hardening performance of steel, and experiments show that the addition of Ni in the matrix of roller has obvious effect of improving toughness and heat strength of steel. However, considering that Ni is a rare element, the addition amount is controlled to be only between 0.8 and 1.5%, when the mass content of Ni is less than 0.8%, the increase of the normal-temperature toughness and the heat strength of the roller is not obvious, when the mass content of Ni is between 0.8 and 1.5%, the increase of the normal-temperature toughness and the heat strength of the roller is increased along with the increase of the Ni content, and when the mass content of Ni is more than 1.5%, the increase of the normal-temperature toughness and the heat strength is not consistent with the increase of the cost, namely the cost performance is not high.
V (vanadium) in the research range of the test of the invention, with the increase of the V addition amount, the bainitic structure is obviously thinned, the hardness and the transformation amount of the bainitic ductile iron are both increased, and the micro hardness of the austenite and the bainitic structure is not greatly changed. Experimental study shows that the optimal range of V content is 1.5-3.2wt%.
The mechanism of action of V refining the bainitic structure can be categorized into two aspects. Firstly, V is one of the elements of strengthening ferrite and austenite, and is dissolved into austenite to form solid solution, so that the diffusion speed of carbon is reduced, and the diffusion time is also required, thereby delaying the transformation of austenite and prolonging the transformation period of bainite. Under the continuous cooling conditions of this test, this means that the bainitic transformation will be carried out at a lower temperature. An increase in transformation supercooling will give a greater driving force for bainitic nucleation. In the austenitizing process, VC (vanadium carbon) particles formed in the solidification process have a pinning effect, prevent grain boundary movement and grain growth, refine austenite grains, and provide more favorable nucleation positions for bainite. Due to the effects of the two aspects, the bainitic core is greatly increased, the bainitic structure is refined, and the bainitic transformation amount is increased.
Mo (molybdenum) and W (tungsten) in the technical scheme of the invention, mo is taken as a strong carbide forming element, so that the stability of austenite and the hardenability of a roller matrix are improved, the tempering brittleness of the second type is prevented, and M 6 C-type carbide formed by Mo and W is adopted, so that the stability of MC-type carbide and the tempering resistance stability of the matrix are improved, and the generation of hot cracks is inhibited;
Nb (niobium) has strong affinity with carbon, nitrogen and oxygen, can form extremely stable compound, has the functions of refining grains, improving the coarsening temperature of the grains, hardenability and tempering stability, and can improve the wear resistance of a thickening die by taking Nb as a hard element, so that the mass percentage of the Nb element is controlled to be 0.12-0.25wt%.
The invention provides a heat treatment process of an anti-stripping roller material of a high-line pre-finishing mill group, which comprises the following steps of annealing and quenching tempering.
Preferably, the annealing step comprises the steps of cooling the cast roller material to 930-950 ℃, namely carrying out furnace-following heat preservation annealing treatment for 3-4 hours, stopping heating, gradually cooling to 600 ℃, discharging, and air cooling to room temperature.
Preferably, the quenching and tempering step includes:
s1, heating and preserving heat for the first time;
s2, heating and preserving heat for the second time;
s3, heating and preserving heat for the third time;
S4, spray quenching;
S5, tempering at high temperature.
Preferably, the first temperature rise and heat preservation comprises heating the roller material treated in the annealing step at a temperature rise speed of 180-200 ℃ per hour, and carrying out temperature equalization and heat preservation for 10-12min at 700 ℃.
Preferably, the second temperature rise and heat preservation comprises the following steps of continuously rising the temperature at the temperature rise speed of 180-200 ℃ per hour on the basis of the step S1, and carrying out the temperature equalization and heat preservation for 10-12min at the temperature of 900 ℃.
Preferably, the third heating and heat preservation comprises the step of heating to 980-1100 ℃ based on the step S2, heat preservation for 30-40min, and discharging and quenching.
Preferably, the spray quenching comprises the step S3 of testing the spray flow of a spray cooling device to ensure that the cooling speed of the roll body of the roll material is 2-4 ℃ per second, and after 245-550 seconds, blowing the roll body to the maximum return temperature of 340-350 ℃ in the blowing stage until the roll temperature is 150-170 ℃, stopping blowing and air-cooling until the roll body temperature is stable at 150-170 ℃.
Preferably, the high-temperature tempering step comprises the steps of preheating a tempering furnace to 100-150 ℃, heating a roller material at a temperature rising speed of 180-200 ℃ per hour on the basis of the step S4, tempering and preserving heat at 480-600 ℃ for 90-120min, cooling to 150 ℃ along with the furnace, discharging, air cooling to room temperature, and repeating the high-temperature tempering process for 2-3 times.
In the treatment process steps, multiple temperature-equalizing heat preservation is carried out in the heating process, and is characterized in that the heating speed is high, when the quenching temperature is high, the roller can be heated uniformly by short-time temperature-equalizing heat preservation, and therefore, in the steps S1 and S2, the temperature-equalizing heat preservation is carried out twice for 10-12min at 700 ℃ and 900 ℃.
In the steps S3 and S4 of the treatment process, high-temperature quenching is carried out at 980-1100 ℃, the spray flow is reasonably controlled, the cooling speed of the roller body is controlled to be 2-4 ℃ per second, and the microstructure is controlled to be bainite, a small amount of martensite, residual austenite and carbide. The spray cooling time is controlled to be 245-550s, and the thickness of the working layer is properly controlled to be 35-40mm.
The high temperature quenching is performed at 980-1100C because the alloy composition in the roll material is optimized in the present patent, wherein the high melting point carbide is increased. MC is carbide of V, precipitates during eutectic transformation or precipitates from austenite, the initial solid solution temperature is 1000-1150 ℃, and VC particles are fine and uniformly distributed. M 6 C is carbide of W and Mo, is dissolved in austenite at 1050-1300 ℃, M 6 C is quite stable, is not easy to gather and grow up, and can increase the hardness and wear resistance of the die. M 7C3 is Cr carbide, which is a primary eutectic carbide or a secondary carbide precipitated from austenite, and can be dissolved into elements such as W, mo, V and the like, so that the wear resistance is improved, and the friction coefficient is reduced. M 7C3 is dissolved in austenite at 950-1150 ℃, M 23C6 is another carbide of Cr, and the solution is started at 1000-1020 ℃ and is completely dissolved in austenite at 1150-1200 ℃. Therefore, higher quenching temperatures of 980-1100 ℃ must be used to adequately dissolve the carbide into the matrix.
In the high-temperature tempering step of the treatment process S5, the quenching process adopts high-temperature quenching. Experiments show that the high-temperature quenching is adopted, and the tempering temperature of 480-600 ℃ is matched, so that the thermal fatigue resistance of the roller iron roller is increased, the thermal cracking initiation time of the roller surface is delayed, and the crack propagation speed is also reduced in the service process, because the austenitizing temperature is increased, more carbide is melted in a matrix, the matrix alloy element and the carbon solid solubility are increased, the matrix is effectively reinforced, the toughness is improved, and the tempering resistance of the roller body is improved, the thermal cycling stability is also improved, and failures such as roller surface flaking and the like in the rolling process are effectively reduced due to the higher tempering temperature. The tempering heat preservation time is controlled within 120min, so that the hardness of the stretch reducing roller meets the requirement, and the stretch reducing roller has higher strength and toughness.
