Problems solved by technology

Due to the high price of V-containing alloys or VN alloys, the current production process for achieving solid solution strengthening through V atom replacement is high in cost and weak in market competitiveness
On the other hand, after the V content in the steel increases, especially the V in the steel 4 C 3 When the number increases and the particle size increases, it will reduce the toughness of the steel

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for enhancing strength and toughness of medium-carbon V steel, which comprises the following steps: 1) in the smelting process, adding N to control [C], [V] and [N] in the steel; 2) heating the smelted continuous casting billet until the crystalline VN compound is dissolved back to austenite, and rolling into round steel; 3) keeping the temperature within the maximum precipitation peak value range to precipitate abundant VN particles; and 4) controlling the subsequent cooling rate of the round steel within a certain range so that the particle size of more than 80% of VN precipitated phase in the steel is 20-100nm, thereby obtaining the medium-carbon V steel with higher strength and toughness. By using the influence of the N element on different aspects of steel performance, the minor element component system is designed without modifying the production equipment or greatly adjusting the technique; and the yield strength of the medium-carbon V steel can be enhanced by 80-170 MPa, the ductility and fracture toughness of the steel are well improved, the percentage elongation after fracture A is enhanced by 3-5%, and the ballistic work Aku2 is enhanced by 10-50J.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a production method of medium-carbon V-steel, in particular to a method for improving the strength and toughness of medium-carbon V-steel, and belongs to the technical field of steel processing. Background technique [0002] Medium carbon V (vanadium) steel mainly refers to 35MnV, 40CrV, 50CrVA, 40MnVB, SAE6140 (ASTM A355 standard), EN51CrV4 (EN10083 / 1 standard) and other steel types, which are mostly used in the manufacture of auto parts, mechanical components, springs, tools, etc. The field is very extensive, and its characteristics are: ①C content in steel is 0.32-0.65%; ②V content in steel is 0.10-0.30%, especially concentrated in 0.10-0.20%; ③Steel needs to be quenched, tempered and tempered before application Therefore, the requirements for the strength and toughness of steel are very strict. [0003] The strength and toughness of these steels are mainly achieved by means of solid-solution strengthening of alloying eleme...
