Problems solved by technology

Because these materials are used for automobile beams, hot-rolled steel sheets with a thickness of 10mm or less are mass-produced to make automobile frames, and their high strength and low plasticity characteristics cannot meet the complex stamping requirements of the axle housing.
Therefore, compared with the stamped and welded axle housing steel with a thickness of 12-16mm, the technical conditions of the factory are quite different, resulting in many problems in the production, such as poor forming accuracy of parts, high scrap rate, complicated stamping process, and large consumption of raw materials.
The deficiencies of these steels are easy to crack after stamping, welding and shaping, which seriously affects the quality and service life of the product

Abstract

The invention relates to steel for a 12-ton axle shell and a production method for the steel. The steel comprises the following chemical components in percentage by weight: 0.004-0.068 percent of C, 0.10-0.60 percent of Si, 1.0-1.29 percent of Mn, less than or equal to 0.025 percent of P, less than or equal to 0.008 percent of S, 0.01-0.06 percent of Al, 0.03-0.048 percent of Nb and the balance of Fe and unavoidable impurities. The production method comprises the following steps of: smelting in a converter; treating in vacuum; performing continuous casting; heating a casting blank; performingrough rolling; performing finish rolling by using a 7 machine frame; performing laminar flow cooling; and coiling. The steel has low carbon content, so that the steel has excellent punching and forming performance and welding performance; the size after the steel is cooled and formed is stable and can fully meet manufacturing and using requirements of the 12-ton axle shell; and through a bench test on the manufactured 12-ton axle shell assembly, the vertical bending fatigue life, the vertical bending rigidity and the vertical bending static strength of the 12-ton axle shell assembly are excellent.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to steel for heavy trucks and a production method, in particular to steel for a 12-ton axle axle housing and a production method. Background technique [0002] The axle is one of the main components of the automobile driving system. It supports the weight of the frame and subsequent assemblies of the frame, and at the same time it protects the components in the transmission system. In the field of axle housing manufacturing in the vehicle axle industry, there are two completely different product manufacturing methods: stamping and welding axle housings and casting axle housings. With the development of axle housing manufacturing technology and the need for weight reduction and energy saving of automobiles, especially for the drive axle housings of trucks, hot continuous rolled steel plates with a thickness of 12 to 16 mm have been used to fabricate the stamped and welded axle housings, replacing the complicated manufacturing process. ...
