The invention discloses a heat treatment process for improving the overall quality of an SJB-4
forge piece, which comprises the following steps: loading the
forge piece into a high-temperature
heating furnace for primary high-temperature normalizing, then loading the
forge piece into the high-temperature
heating furnace for secondary high-temperature normalizing, then loading the forge piece into the high-temperature
heating furnace for
quenching, and then loading the forge piece into a
tempering heating furnace for high-temperature
tempering, the
temperature difference between the surface and the core is reduced through stepped heating, so that the heating stress is reduced, and deformation or
cracking caused by overlarge stress is avoided; tissue homogenization is promoted by adopting a two-time high-temperature normalizing mode, rapid cooling is performed after normalizing heating, surface and core
pearlite tissue transformation is promoted, and mixed crystals or coarse
crystal grains brought by non-equilibrium tissues caused by tissue
heredity are
cut off; through rapid heating and repeated austenitizing,
pearlite with small interlamellar spacing is promoted to be converted into an
austenite structure, the
nucleation rate is increased, and the grain size is refined; and the
quenching cooling strength is enhanced to guarantee the
hardenability depth, the
austenite-
martensite structure from the surface to the core of the
forging is promoted, and the
quenching uniformity of the
forging is improved.
