Problems solved by technology

However, this quenching process also has a huge disadvantage, which is manifested in the low cooling rate of the workpiece at low temperature (below about 550°C) during the quenching cooling stage, which means that the cooling rate of the workpiece in the bainite transformation zone is low, and the quenching process is prone to die casting The bainite that is not expected to appear in the mold, if the upper bainite appears, it will seriously affect the service life of the mold, and at the same time, due to the low cooling rate, the workpiece will retain a certain amount of residual austenite, resulting in a decrease in the overall performance of the workpiece
And the thicker the effective thickness of the workpiece, the worse its internal structure and the worse its comprehensive performance

Abstract

The invention discloses a quenching process of H13 steel for compression molds. The process comprises the following steps: multi-stage heating, N2 cooling and oil cooling. The invention changes the quenching cooling medium of a processed element while the steady temperature zone of the material quenched structure changes, i.e. the processed element is transferred from a vacuum high-pressure air quenching furnace to a quenching oil furnace to be cooled. The characteristic of high cooling speed of the quenching oil furnace can be utilized, so that the cooling curve quickly bypasses the bainite structure transition zone and enters the martensitic structure transition zone; and thus, the microstructure of the processed element can be transformed into martensite as much as possible so as to reduce or avoid carbides, bainite and residual austenite precipitating along the grain boundary, thereby enhancing the comprehensive mechanical properties of the processed element and enhancing the operation reliability of the mold. The invention is especially suitable for quenching large and complicated workpieces, and can ensures the quenching quality of the workpieces on the premise of no cracking.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a heat treatment process for H13 steel, in particular to a quenching process for this type of steel. Background technique [0002] At present, the die-casting mold usually uses H13 steel, and its quenching process adopts the process of vacuum high-pressure gas quenching. The workpiece treated by this process has the characteristics of no oxidation and decarburization on the surface and small deformation of the workpiece, which can basically avoid quenching cracking, so Widely used in the industry. However, this quenching process also has a huge disadvantage, which is manifested in the low cooling rate of the workpiece at low temperature (below about 550°C) during the quenching cooling stage, which means that the cooling rate of the workpiece in the bainite transformation zone is low, and the quenching process is prone to die casting The bainite that is not expected to appear in the mold will seriously affect the service life o...
