The high-strength and high-toughness wind power bearing steel has the advantages of high strength and high toughness, and is suitable for working conditions of wind power bearings.
According to the wind power bearing steel, a multistage micro-nano precipitated phase can be formed in a microstructure of the wind power bearing steel through the cooperative regulation and control of specific component smelting, three-stage gradient rolling and four-stage variable temperature heat treatment, wherein the first-stage precipitated phase is a coherent Cu-rich precipitated phase, and the second-stage precipitated phase is a CuTi intermediate phase. Compared with the martensitic steel which is complex in process and needs quenching and equivalent and the carburizing steel which needs additional carburizing treatment, the preparation method is simple and convenient and controllable, and the product performance is stable.
The principle of its specific microstructure formation includes:
(1) Cu and Ti with specific proportion are added in the smelting/refining process, electromagnetic ultrasonic stirring is adopted, so that molten steel and the wall of a crystallizer are in scouring contact, crystal nuclei can be formed at the position of the wall of the crystallizer continuously and repeatedly, a large amount of crystallization latent heat is released, and fine grains are formed. The blank shell tensile stress acting under the curved lunar surface can be reduced in the positive sliding time, and the blank pressure can be increased in the negative sliding time to form directional stress distribution so as to accelerate the diffusion of Cu and Ti.
(2) The steel billet can form gradient dislocation density through three-stage gradient rolling deformation, further refine grains, and facilitate the formation of high-density defects, provide a gathering place for Cu and Ti diffusion, gather Cu and Ti at the dislocation position, and form a segregation region at a grain boundary, and the internal stress generated by deformation provides driving force for the generation of a multi-stage micro-nano precipitated phase.
(3) In the process of the performance heat treatment, supersaturated Cu atoms in a matrix can be rapidly aggregated in the primary heat treatment process to form a Cu-rich segregation region, conditions are provided for Cu-rich precipitation, in the secondary heat treatment process, cu concentration at a crystal boundary is continuously increased along with Cu diffusion, the transition from the Cu-rich segregation region to a Cu-rich precipitation phase is completed, and a coherent relation is maintained, in the tertiary heat treatment process, the enriched Cu atoms diffuse to Ti atoms to react with the Ti atoms, and a CuTi intermediate phase is formed above the primary precipitation phase (Cu-rich precipitation phase).
In conclusion, through the steps, a multi-stage micro-nano precipitated phase is formed in the microstructure of the wind power bearing steel. Wherein the first-stage precipitated phase is a coherent Cu-rich precipitated phase, and the second-stage precipitated phase is a CuTi intermediate phase, so that the strength and toughness can be obviously improved. The coherent Cu-rich precipitated phase can obviously reduce the precipitated nucleation barrier, reduce the incubation period, realize rapid high-density intragranular precipitation and timely pinning of the grain boundary of submicron grains, and the long and large driving force of the precipitated phase is interface energy. The instantaneous high-density intragranular precipitation can inhibit submicron grain growth, and the precipitated phase does not limit dislocation slip and Luan Jing generation, so that high strength and high ductility can be realized simultaneously.
