Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of metal material cold rolling processes, and particularly relates to a low-strength high-surface-hardness cold-rolled fine-stamped steel strip, and a manufacturing method and application thereof.
Background
Along with the technical development, the modern automobile transmission has more and more powerful design functions, the number of parts in the transmission is huge, the use condition is relatively bad, and the requirements of the automobile transmission friction plate on material strength, surface hardness, thickness precision and the like are extremely high, so that the transmission friction plate is usually produced by adopting a high-strength high-hardness cold-rolled fine-stamped steel product, but when the thickness of raw materials is thicker (1.5-3.0 mm), the high-strength high-hardness steel is difficult to finish-stamped and formed, and the dimensional precision of the parts is poor. Therefore, a cold-rolled fine blanking steel product with low tensile strength (400-500 MPa) and high hardness (HRB 70-80) and excellent comprehensive performance is needed to meet the requirements of fine blanking, forming and service performance.

The invention also aims to provide an application of the low-strength high-surface-hardness cold-rolled fine-stamped steel strip in manufacturing friction plates of automobile gearboxes.
The specific technical scheme of the invention is as follows:
The cold-rolled fine-stamped steel strip with low strength and high surface hardness comprises the following components in percentage by mass:
0.18-0.23% of C, 0.15-0.35% of Si, 0.40-0.60% of Mn, less than or equal to 0.020% of P, less than or equal to 0.020% of S, 0.015-0.045% of Al, and the balance of Fe and unavoidable impurities.
The tensile strength of the low-strength high-surface-hardness cold-rolled fine-stamped steel strip is 400-500 MPa, and the surface hardness is HRB 70-80.
The thickness of the low-strength high-surface-hardness cold-rolled fine-stamped steel strip is 1.5-3.0 mm.
The structure of the low-strength high-surface-hardness cold-rolled fine-stamped steel strip is ferrite, pearlite and carbide.
The invention provides a manufacturing method of a low-strength high-surface-hardness cold-rolled fine-stamped steel strip, which comprises the following steps:
Heating a plate blank, hot rolling, cold rolling, annealing and flattening.
The slab is heated, the tapping temperature of the slab is controlled to 1180-1220 ℃, the tapping temperature is too low, the finish rolling temperature cannot be guaranteed, the tapping temperature is too high, iron scales are seriously pressed in during rolling, the furnace time is too short, crystal grains are uneven, the furnace time is too long, and the surface iron scales are large.
The hot rolling is carried out, the final rolling temperature is controlled to be 860-900 ℃, the excessively low final rolling temperature is easy to roll in a two-phase zone, and the excessively high final rolling temperature is easy to form a banded structure.
And the convexity C40 is controlled to be 0.020-0.040 mm, so that the transverse thickness precision of the fine-stamped steel is improved.
The hot rolling is carried out, the coiling temperature is controlled to be 700-720 ℃, the coiling temperature is too low, and a strip-shaped structure is easy to form.
And the total rolling reduction rate of the cold rolling is controlled to be 50% -70%. If the reduction ratio is lower than this range, the plastic strain ratio of the product is lower. The rolling stability in the cold rolling process is poor due to the excessively high rolling reduction.
And (3) annealing, namely heating the whole coil of the steel strip to 620-710 ℃ at the speed of 0.5-1 ℃ per minute in a full-hydrogen hood-type annealing furnace, preserving heat for 4-10 hours, and then cooling along with the furnace. The heating speed is too high, the structural uniformity of the product is affected, the heating speed is too low, the production efficiency is affected, the heating temperature is too high, the tensile strength and hardness of the product are low, the heating temperature is too low, the product is not recrystallized, the heat preservation time is too short, the strip-shaped structure in steel is not easy to eliminate, the heat preservation time is too long, and the production efficiency is affected.
And the leveling elongation of the leveling machine is controlled to be 3% -10%. Too low a flat elongation, low tensile strength and hardness of the product, too high a flat elongation and poor plate shape of the product.
The invention provides an application of a low-strength high-surface-hardness cold-rolled fine-stamped steel strip, which is used for manufacturing friction plates of automobile gearboxes.
Aiming at the defects of the prior art, the invention provides a low-strength high-surface-hardness cold-rolled fine-stamped steel strip and a manufacturing method thereof, and a cold-rolled fine-stamped steel product with matched tensile strength and surface hardness is obtained by precisely controlling hot rolling, cold rolling, annealing and flattening processes. The design idea of the invention is as follows:
the effect of the alloying elements in the invention is mainly based on the following principle:
Carbon is the most economic and effective solid solution element, and can obviously improve the hardness and hardenability of steel, but excessive carbon easily leads to the excessive strength and hardness of the steel, so the control range of the C percentage in the invention is 0.18-0.23%;
Si is a solid solution strengthening element, so that the strength and hardness of the steel are enhanced, the liquid fluidity and the solidification property of the steel are improved, and the casting property is improved, but excessive Si can cause that oxide scales on the surface of a steel plate are not easy to remove and the surface quality of a finished product is affected, so that the control range of the percentage content of Si in the invention is 0.15-0.35%;
Mn is a solid solution strengthening element, enhances the strength of steel, can improve the stability of austenite, reduces the transformation temperature of austenite to ferrite, enlarges the hot working temperature range, is favorable for refining the grain size of ferrite, but has overhigh Mn content, and the Mn segregation degree of a casting blank is increased to form a banded structure in the continuous casting process, so that the mechanical property and the fine blanking property of the fine blanking steel are affected, and therefore, the control range of the Mn percentage content in the invention is 0.40-0.60%;
P has a small diffusion rate in ferrite, is easy to form segregation to form a banded structure, and is unfavorable for the fine blanking performance of the fine blanking steel. Therefore, the control range of the P content in the invention is less than or equal to 0.020%;
s, sulfur exists in the steel in the form of ferric sulfide (FeS), so that the ductility and toughness of the steel are reduced, and cracks are caused during forging and rolling, so that the S percentage control range is less than or equal to 0.020%;
al is used as a main deoxidizer, and aluminum has a certain effect on refined grains, but excessive Al can reduce cutting processability, so that the control range of the percentage of Al in the invention is 0.015% -0.045%.
Compared with the prior art, the method has the advantages that the cold-rolled fine-stamped steel product with the tensile strength of 400-500 MPa and the surface hardness of HRB 70-80 is obtained by precisely controlling the hot rolling, cold rolling, annealing and flattening processes, particularly by precisely controlling the combination of the annealing temperature, the heat preservation time and the flattening elongation, and is suitable for fine stamping of the friction plate of the automobile gearbox with the thickness of 1.5-3.0 mm.
