Problems solved by technology

The application of 12Cr13 stainless steel in nuclear power plants has extremely high quality requirements. Under the premise of extreme high strength requirements, the 0°C impact toughness value is required to be not less than 40J. The 0°C impact value of domestically produced quenched and tempered 12Cr13 stainless steel bars is very high It is difficult to meet the requirements; and another technical difficulty of quenched and tempered 12Cr13 quenched and tempered bars is that the quenched and tempered bars are bent, and straightening + stress relief annealing is required, resulting in a further reduction in the impact value at 0 °C
As far as the existing technology at home and abroad is concerned, although there are many ways to manufacture 12Cr13 rods for driving rod raw materials, after quenching and tempering heat treatment, the impact toughness at 0°C cannot meet the requirement of not less than 40J
In order to solve the problem that the impact value cannot meet the standard after quenching and tempering, a French company specializing in the production of nuclear power drive rods adopts continuous induction furnace quenching and tempering, so that the mechanical properties of the drive rod meet the requirements of the standard, but the continuous induction furnace quenching and tempering method is due to instantaneous heating. High energy consumption and small capacity for heat-treated bars lead to very high production costs and low production efficiency

Abstract

The invention discloses a hardening and tempering method for a 12Cr13 stainless steel bar and aims to provide a method which guarantees the mechanical properties, also lowers the production cost and improves the production efficiency. The hardening and tempering method disclosed by the invention is characterized in that a thermal treatment process for hardening and tempering is optimized, namely an incomplete annealing pretreatment process is added before hardening and tempering, subsequently a desk type furnace / a continuous heating furnace is used for carrying out (hardening + tempering) hardening and tempering, straightening and stress relief annealing, wherein the 0-DEG-C impact value of the bar after straightening and stress relief annealing is not large in change; and finally the mechanical properties of the 12Cr13 bar totally meet the standard requirements of nuclear power materials. By using the hardening and tempering method disclosed by the invention, even a traditional heating furnace is adopted for carrying out hardening and tempering treatment on the bar, the mechanical properties can still meet the requirements of the standard nuclear power hardened and tempered 12Cr13, especially the o-DEG-C impact value is quite large in increment range and the numerical value fluctuates stably; after thermal treatment, the deviation of the hardness (HBW) of the overall bar is not larger than 15; the thermal treatment cost is lowered; and the production efficiency is improved.
