Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of stainless steel, and specifically to a production process of austenitic stainless steel strip. Background Art

[0002] Stainless steel has good properties such as corrosion resistance, high strength, high temperature resistance, and high recyclability, and is widely used in various fields such as construction, transportation, and energy. Stainless steel with a single-phase austenitic structure at room temperature is called austenitic stainless steel. In some austenitic stainless steels, the content of chromium and molybdenum is high, resulting in serious segregation of molybdenum elements during the solidification process. During the hot working process, the second phase is easily precipitated, which has an adverse effect on the pitting corrosion resistance and intergranular corrosion resistance of the material.

[0003] Nickel is the main austenitizing element in traditional austenitic stainless steel, which makes austenitic stainless steel have good strength, toughness, and plasticity. However, due to the scarcity of nickel in the earth's crust, it determines the high cost of nickel-containing stainless steel. Nitrogen is also an element that promotes austenite formation, which is beneficial to reducing the cost of stainless steel, improving mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. However, when preparing nitrided austenitic steel by the casting method, nitrogen is easily enriched at the front end of the solidification phase, and part of the nitrogen will escape during cooling, and the casting temperature is high, which is easy to burn manganese. Therefore, how to improve its thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance, and cutting performance while ensuring the excellent mechanical properties of austenitic stainless steel, and at the same time reduce its nickel content, is a hot issue in current research.

[0013] S7: Perform chemical vapor deposition on the stainless steel strip with sealing treatment using polydimethylsiloxane to obtain an austenitic stainless steel strip.

[0014] Further, in terms of mass percentage, the elemental composition of the austenitic stainless steel strip is: manganese 10 - 12%, carbon 0.01 - 0.02%, chromium 17.5 - 18.5%, nitrogen 0.9 - 1.1%, molybdenum 3 - 3.2%, boron 0.02 - 0.03%, yttrium 0.01 - 0.015%, and the balance is iron; the mass percentage ratio of boron to yttrium in the austenitic stainless steel strip is 2.

[0018] Further, the working conditions for solution treatment are: hold at 1075 °C for 4 h and cool with water.

[0019] Further, the composition of the electrolyte is as follows: ethylene glycol is used as the solvent, and the volume fraction of perchloric acid is 1.5% - 3%; the working conditions for anodic oxidation are: the anodic voltage is 20 - 30 V, the oxidation time is 5 - 10 min, the oxidation temperature is 2 - 4 °C, and the current density is 2 A / dm 2 .

[0020] Further, the composition of the pre-sealing solution is: deionized water is used as the solvent, and the concentration of hydrogen peroxide is 2 - 6 mL / L and the concentration of ammonium cerium nitrate is 4 - 6 g / L; the temperature is 25 - 60 °C and the sealing time is 5 - 10 min.

[0021] Further, the preparation of the sealing solution includes the following steps:

[0022] 1) Disperse molybdenum acetylacetonate and glycerol in a mixed solution of isopropanol and deionized water, perform ultrasonic treatment for 10 - 15 min, transfer to a high-pressure autoclave with a polytetrafluoroethylene liner, keep warm at 190 °C for 3 h, cool, centrifuge, wash, add ethanol, and obtain the MoG solution;

[0023] 2) Mix the MoG solution, thiourea, ethanol, and deionized water, keep at 195 - 200 °C for 5 - 6 h, centrifuge, wash, dry, introduce argon gas, heat up to 695 - 700 °C and calcine for 1 - 2 h to obtain molybdenum disulfide spherical nanoflowers;

[0027] The beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0028] The present invention provides a production process for austenitic stainless steel strips. Through process optimization and composition regulation, austenitic stainless steel strips with strong corrosion resistance, good wear resistance, and good hydrophobicity are prepared.

[0029] In the present invention, nickel-free stainless steel is prepared by increasing the nitrogen content. Due to the solution strengthening effect of nitrogen atoms and the formation of high-hardness alloy nitrides with the matrix, during the nitriding process, some carbon and manganese form dispersed alloy carbides, improving the strength and hardness. Boron is added to improve the hot working performance of austenitic stainless steel. By virtue of the special segregation behavior of boron at grain boundaries, the harmful effect of sulfur is inhibited, improving the hot working performance of the material. In addition, the present invention has a relatively high content of molybdenum. Molybdenum can act together with boron to increase the hardenability of stainless steel, thereby improving its hot plasticity, wear resistance, and high-temperature creep resistance;

[0030] However, the solubility of boron in ordinary austenitic stainless steel is very low, generally less than 0.026%, and the atomic radius of boron differs greatly from other atoms in the matrix. The elastic binding energy with defects such as dislocations, grain boundaries, and vacancies is relatively large. If the added content is too high, borides will precipitate at positions such as grain boundaries, deteriorating the mechanical properties and ductility of stainless steel;

[0031] Therefore, in the present invention, an electromagnetic vibration force field is introduced during the metal powder injection molding process to prepare injection green compacts, and the introduced boron content is controlled. By limiting the process parameters of subsequent debinding, nitriding, and solution treatment, the precipitation of nitrides and borides is reduced, solving the segregation problem that may be caused by adding a high content of molybdenum. Moreover, in the present invention, rare earth yttrium modification treatment is carried out in stainless steel. By controlling the introduced yttrium content, the effect of refining grains is achieved, synergistically reducing the precipitation of borides, thereby improving the elongation and corrosion resistance of austenitic stainless steel.

[0032] In order to extend the service life of austenitic stainless steel strips and improve the corrosion resistance and hydrophobicity of the surface of austenitic stainless steel strips; in the present invention, anodic oxidation and sealing treatment are carried out on the surface of austenitic stainless steel strips. While improving the surface corrosion resistance of austenitic stainless steel strips, the contact between hydrogen and austenitic stainless steel strips is isolated.

[0033] The anodic oxidation used in the present invention does not change the crystal phase of austenitic stainless steel strips and does not generate new phases, but shows better corrosion resistance. The micro / nano pores generated are beneficial to improving the surface property uniformity of austenitic stainless steel strips after sealing;

[0034] In the present invention, ammonium cerium nitrate and hydrogen peroxide are used to prepare a pre-sealing solution. The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide can provide the required oxygen, promoting the generation of hydroxide ions. Cerium ions combine with hydroxide ions to form cerium hydroxide, which can be deposited in the pores of the anodic oxidation film to achieve a sealing effect; effectively delaying the erosion of corrosive media;

[0035] Then, through the combination of trimesic acid in the subsequent sealing solution with cerium hydroxide on the surface of stainless steel, a cerium-based metal framework is in-situ generated, and then through chemical vapor deposition, a superhydrophobic micro-nano structure is constructed on the surface of stainless steel, effectively improving the self-cleaning property of stainless steel;

[0036] The introduced modified molybdenum disulfide can effectively improve the wear resistance of the stainless steel surface, and the modified molybdenum disulfide introduced in the sealing liquid is a molybdenum-based metal framework obtained by encapsulating molybdenum disulfide spherical nanoflowers and zeolitic imidazolate frameworks together, which can effectively enhance the binding force with the stainless steel surface, thereby synergistically improving the hydrophobicity, wear resistance, oxidation and corrosion resistance of the stainless steel surface.

[0128] Table 1

[0129] The present invention provides a production process of an austenitic stainless steel strip. Through process optimization and composition regulation, an austenitic stainless steel strip with strong corrosion resistance and good wear resistance is prepared.

[0130] Comparing Example 3 with Comparative Example 1 shows that the absence of boron element will deteriorate the mechanical properties of the stainless steel strip; comparing Example 3 with Comparative Examples 2 and 3 shows that adding rare earth yttrium modification treatment to stainless steel can achieve the effect of grain refinement by controlling the introduced yttrium content, synergistically reducing the precipitation of borides, thereby improving the tensile strength of austenitic stainless steel at room temperature and high temperature; comparing Example 3 with Comparative Example 4 shows that introducing an electromagnetic vibration force field during the metal powder injection molding process can effectively enhance the combination of various elements in the stainless steel strip, thereby improving its high-temperature creep resistance; comparing Example 3 with Comparative Example 5 shows that too high a solution temperature is not conducive to the improvement of the properties of the austenitic stainless steel strip.

[0131] By using the electromagnetic vibration force field introduced during the metal powder injection molding process to prepare the injection green body, controlling the introduced boron content, and limiting the process parameters of subsequent degreasing, nitriding, and solution treatment, the precipitation of nitrides and borides is reduced. And in the present invention, adding rare earth yttrium modification treatment to stainless steel can achieve the effect of grain refinement by controlling the introduced yttrium content, synergistically reducing the precipitation of borides, thereby improving the properties of the austenitic stainless steel strip.

[0132] Comparing Example 3 with Comparative Example 6 shows that anodic oxidation does not change the crystal phase of the sample and does not generate new phases, showing better corrosion resistance; comparing Example 3 with Comparative Examples 7 and 8 shows that in the present invention, ammonium cerium nitrate and hydrogen peroxide are used to prepare the pre-sealing solution, and the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide can provide the required oxygen to promote the generation of hydroxide ions. The cerium ions combine with the hydroxide ions to form cerium hydroxide, which can be deposited in the pores of the anodic oxidation film to achieve a sealing effect; effectively delaying the erosion of corrosive media; then through the combination of trimesic acid in the subsequent sealing solution with cerium hydroxide on the stainless steel surface, a cerium-based metal framework is in-situ generated, and then through chemical vapor deposition, a superhydrophobic micro-nano structure is constructed on the stainless steel surface, effectively improving the self-cleaning property of the stainless steel.

[0133] Comparing Example 3 with Comparative Examples 9 and 10 shows that the introduced modified molybdenum disulfide can effectively improve the wear resistance of the stainless steel surface, and the modified molybdenum disulfide introduced in the sealing solution is a molybdenum-based metal framework obtained by encapsulating molybdenum disulfide spherical nanoflowers and zeolitic imidazolate frameworks together, which can effectively enhance the binding force with the stainless steel surface, thereby synergistically improving the hydrophobicity, wear resistance, oxidation and corrosion resistance of the stainless steel surface.

All equivalent structural transformations made using the description of the present invention under the inventive concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
