Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a steel pipe production device and method, and in particular to a full-process induction heat treatment device and method for a steel pipe mandrel. Background Art
[0002] The mandrel is one of the main deformation tools for hot rolling of seamless steel pipes. It is required to have good resistance to thermal shock and cold shock to prevent thermal cracking when the surface temperature changes drastically periodically; it is also required to have sufficient toughness to avoid fracture after multiple local bending deformations; it is also required to have sufficient hardness and wear resistance to make the mandrel have longer durability. The mandrel in the prior art is produced by using H13 type tool steel through the process of blank making → annealing → finishing → surface induction quenching → tempering, among which the surface induction quenching is carried out in a dedicated induction quenching line, and the annealing and tempering are carried out in a gas-fired heating furnace.
[0003] The final hardness of the working layer on the surface of the mandrel in the prior art is 40-50HRC, the hardening depth is about 10mm, and the core maintains an annealed hardness of 20-30HRC. During rolling, the mandrel often has defects such as excessive wear and surface cracks, and needs to be taken offline for periodic re-machining and re-heat treatment. If the mandrel breaks, it will not only directly lead to the scrapping of the mandrel, but also affect the forming of the steel pipe, making it difficult to remove the rod, greatly increasing the production and rolling costs of the steel pipe. The existing mandrel preparation process has the following shortcomings:
[0004] 1. The purpose of annealing the mandrel is to facilitate straightening, peeling, rough turning, grinding, head and tail processing, etc., but the pearlite formed by annealing is generally coarse, which is not conducive to the acquisition of high-quality surface quenching structure for subsequent grain refinement.
[0005] 2. After the core rod is induction hardened on the surface, for the sake of production efficiency, it is usually only tempered in a low-temperature furnace for a long time, which fails to give full play to the "secondary tempering hardening" effect of tool steel.
[0006] 3. Annealing and tempering are both carried out in a gas-fired heating furnace, and the heating time often takes more than ten hours, which may cause various risks or problems such as surface decarburization and furnace gas pollution.
[0007] Chinese invention patent application CN201910822595.1 discloses a heat treatment process for large die-casting mold steel with high toughness and low deformation. Its "temperature difference speed control + three-step step cooling" quenching process is: slowly heat up to 500-600℃ at 1.5-2℃ / min, and when the core temperature reaches 5-10℃ lower than the set furnace temperature, keep warm for 150-200 minutes; heat up to 800-850℃ at 2℃ / min, and when the core temperature reaches 5-10℃ lower than the set furnace temperature, keep warm for 200-240 minutes; then raise the furnace temperature to the Austenitic temperature of the mold steel within 40 minutes. austenitizing temperature, when the core temperature reaches 5-10℃ lower than the set austenitizing temperature, keep it warm for 30-35 minutes; first stage cooling: use slow cooling with the furnace, wait for the mold surface temperature to drop to 800-850℃; second stage cooling: under a cooling pressure of not less than 7-8Bar, control the cooling rate ≥40℃ / min, quench the mold surface temperature to 500-550℃, and start the isothermal process; when the difference between the core temperature and the surface temperature is ≤100℃, end the isothermal process; third stage cooling: control the cooling rate to 7-8℃ / min, reduce the furnace temperature to 200℃, and air cool out of the furnace. The tempering process is as follows: wait for the mold surface temperature to drop to 50-60℃, and then temper immediately; after quenching, the mold should be tempered at least three times, and the furnace temperature before tempering is 100-200℃; the first tempering temperature is selected to be 20-30℃ higher than the peak temperature of the mold steel secondary hardening tempering. When the core temperature reaches 5-10℃ lower than the set value, start timing, and the tempering time is based on the effective thickness of 30-40mm / h. After being taken out of the furnace, the fan is used to accelerate cooling, and the mold surface temperature is reduced to 50-60℃; the second tempering is to 590-600℃, the hardness gradually decreases, and the core temperature is When the temperature is 5-10℃ lower than the set value, the timing starts, and the tempering time is 30-40mm / h. After the mold is taken out of the furnace, the fan is used to accelerate the cooling, and the mold surface temperature is reduced to 50-60℃; the mold surface tempering hardness is detected, and the third tempering temperature is adjusted to 580-600℃ according to the target hardness of 44-46HRC; large die-casting molds need to add a fourth tempering, and the tempering temperature is the same as the third tempering temperature. When the temperature reaches 5-10℃ lower than the set value, the timing starts, and the tempering time is 30-40mm / h. The last tempering is air-cooled out of the furnace. If a large die-casting mold is quenched and heat-treated on the basis of the cast or even annealed state structure, because this type of structure is generally coarse and some other possible inclusions, composition segregation and other casting defects are easy to cause the so-called quenching cracks in the mold quenching heating and cooling process, the heat treatment adopts a complex graded heating (cooling) process, which is slow and takes dozens of hours. Moreover, in this heat treatment process, large molds need to be quenched and tempered in the furnace from the outside to the inside. The workpiece has a large heat storage capacity and a corresponding cooling load, making it difficult to implement continuous and efficient surface induction heat treatment.At the same time, this heat treatment belongs to the traditional heating furnace heat treatment, which has many inherent disadvantages such as decarburization, environmental pollution, low efficiency, complex production organization, and difficulty in achieving timely tempering.

[0023] The second quenching temperature is 1000-1100° C., the power of the induction heating furnace is 900-1000 kW, the frequency is 500-2000 Hz, and the transmission speed of the mandrel is 1-1.5 m / min.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0028] 1. The full-process induction heat treatment device of the present invention adopts medium-frequency electromagnetic induction heating, which avoids problems such as decarbonization, three wastes emission and pollution compared with the heating methods such as gas furnaces in the prior art, and is energy-saving and environmentally friendly; at the same time, the temperature uniformity of the induction heating and cooling process is ensured by adjusting the rotating components and equipment parameters, reducing the cost of heat treatment, improving the quality and efficiency of heat treatment, and can be promoted and applied to the heat treatment processing and manufacturing fields of various slender workpieces such as rods, bars, tubes, rollers, etc.
[0029] 2. The full-process induction heat treatment device of the present invention adopts a horizontal roller that can reciprocate to transport the core rod, so that the heating and cooling equipment are arranged very compactly, which is conducive to the continuous implementation of multiple processing steps in the full-process induction heat treatment method and meets the requirements of timely tempering, thereby achieving the effect of improving the quality of heat treatment, reducing the turnover time and improving the heat treatment efficiency, and eliminating the gas emissions and pollution problems of traditional heating furnaces to the greatest extent.
[0030] 3. The full-process induction heat treatment method of the present invention adopts preliminary quenching and tempering processes, so that the surface of the core rod is in a state of troostite structure with extremely fine grains before quenching, and reduces or eliminates the band segregation defects that often exist inside the core rod blank, so as to prepare the structure for the subsequent formal quenching process; at the same time, the present invention performs 2-3 tempering treatments after formal quenching, fully exerts the secondary hardening effect of H13 type tool steel, further improves the stability of the core rod quenching martensitic structure, and effectively improves the tempering hardness and wear resistance of the core rod, and timely tempering avoids cracking of the core rod due to excessive residual quenching stress after quenching, which is beneficial to improving the heat treatment quality of large workpieces such as core rods.
[0031] 4. The full-process induction heat treatment method of the present invention adopts mist cooling. The cooling process of the core rod after induction heating adopts mist cooling with an adjustable air-water ratio, which can increase the cooling rate of the core rod surface to obtain a higher content of martensitic structure with high hardness and high wear resistance, while preventing the core rod from cracking due to excessive quenching stress, reducing the cooling process time and improving the heat treatment efficiency.
[0032] 5. The full-process induction heat treatment method of the present invention can largely eliminate the head-to-tail temperature difference caused by the different natural cooling time experienced by the core rod on the conveying roller during the conveying process due to the automatic adjustment of the cooling intensity and the induction heating power, so as to improve the uniformity of the axial temperature of the core rod before entering the heating furnace and after leaving the heating furnace. At the same time, the swinging action of the heating furnace and the cooler improves the uniformity of the circumferential temperature of the core rod, thereby fundamentally ensuring the uniformity and stability of the heat treatment performance of the core rod.
[0033] The present invention uses a conveyor roller to reciprocately transfer the mandrel, and utilizes induction heating to complete preliminary quenching, tempering, formal quenching and multiple tempering processes, which can fundamentally improve the microstructure of the mandrel surface working layer (radial depth 0-10mm), improve the heat treatment quality and performance of the mandrel, and improve the heat treatment efficiency by more than 50%. The mandrel has a long service life, and the manufacturing cost and consumption in the steel pipe rolling process are reduced. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0040] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0041] Please see attached Figure 1 A full-process induction heat treatment device for a steel pipe mandrel comprises an induction heating furnace 2, a conveying roller 3, a cooler 4 and a thermometer 5; a plurality of conveying rollers 3 are arranged in sequence along a horizontal plane to form a horizontal conveying roller for reciprocatingly transmitting the mandrel 1; the induction heating furnace 2 and two coolers 4 are arranged along the horizontal conveying roller, respectively, and the two coolers 4 are respectively located on the outside of the two inlets and outlets of the induction heating furnace 2, and the mandrel 1 passes through one of the coolers 4, the induction heating furnace 2 and the other cooler 4 in sequence when being transmitted along the horizontal conveying roller; thermometers 5 are respectively provided between the two inlets and outlets of the induction heating furnace 2 and the two coolers 4.
[0042] Please see attached Figure 2 The induction heating furnace 2 comprises a heating furnace shell 21, a coil copper tube 22 and a rotating assembly; the coil copper tube 22 is a circular ring structure, the coil copper tube 22 is installed in the rotating assembly through the support 9, and rotates in the heating furnace shell 21 through the rotating assembly, and the core rod 1 coaxially penetrates the coil copper tube 22. Preferably, the power supply of the induction heating furnace 2 is 400-1000kW, the frequency is 500-2000Hz, and the power supply power can be linearly adjusted from small to large according to the temperature of the core rod 1.
[0043] The coil copper tube 22 is arranged in a spiral shape, and the two electrode ends of the coil copper tube 22 are connected to the induction heating power supply. When the medium frequency alternating current is turned on during operation, a strong alternating electromagnetic field is formed in the center of the coil copper tube 22, which then induces a large amount of eddy current on the surface layer of the core rod 1. The eddy current flows in the steel and there is an ohmic heating effect, thereby rapidly increasing the temperature of the surface layer of the core rod within the skin effect depth. In order to prevent self-heating, the inside of the coil copper tube 22 needs to be cooled by circulating water.
[0044] The inner wall of the coil copper tube 22 is provided with a refractory lining 23, which plays the role of protecting the coil copper tube 22 from the radiant heat of the high-temperature workpiece, preventing the electrical insulation layer on the surface of the coil copper tube 22 from being over-baked by the high-temperature workpiece, which may cause discharge and ignition accidents between adjacent coil copper tubes 22, and preventing the irregular movement of the workpiece during the actual transportation process from directly damaging or scratching the coil copper tube. The refractory lining 23 can be made of a mixture of corundum Al2O3 powder and silica sol, or a prefabricated tubular lining. The thickness of the refractory lining 23 is based on the principle of being able to fully protect the coil copper tube 22 without increasing the distance between the coil copper tube 22 and the core rod 1 to avoid reducing the induction heating effect. The thickness of the refractory lining 23 is preferably 5-20 mm.
[0045] Please see attached Figure 3 The cooler 4 comprises a cooler housing 41, a cooling nozzle 42 and a rotating assembly; the cooling nozzle 42 is a circular ring structure, and the cooling nozzle 42 is evenly distributed with nozzles facing the surface of the core rod 1; the cooling nozzle 42 is installed in the rotating assembly through the support 9, and rotates in the cooler housing 41 through the rotating assembly, and the core rod 1 coaxially passes through the cooling nozzle 42. Preferably, the cooling water flow rate of the cooler 4 is 30-60m 3 / h, pressure 0.4-0.8MPa, the cooling water flow rate can be linearly adjusted from large to small according to the temperature of the core rod 1. The cooler 4 can be an aerosol cooler, and its water-gas ratio can be adjusted according to the actual cooling needs. For example: a high water-gas ratio during quenching can increase the cooling rate and increase the content of quenched martensite; a low water-gas ratio during tempering can reduce the cooling rate and avoid the generation of excessive tempering stress.
[0046] Please see attached Figure 2 and attached Figure 3 The rotating assembly includes a ring gear 6, a gear 7 and a driver 8; the gear 7 is coaxially connected to the output shaft of the driver 8 and rotates synchronously, the ring gear 6 is meshed with the gear 7, and the ring gear 6 can swing back and forth around the center of the ring gear 6 through the gear 7; the center of the ring gear 6 is located on the central axis of the core rod 1.
[0047] The swing angle range of the gear ring 6 is [-180°, 180°], and the reciprocating swing frequency of the gear ring 6 is 10-30 times / minute. The swing of the gear ring 6 can reduce the circumferential temperature non-uniformity that may occur during the actual heating and cooling process of the mandrel 1 along the circumference, ensuring that the mandrel 1 is uniformly heated or cooled circumferentially during the transmission process.
[0048] Please see attached Figure 4 , a full-process induction heat treatment method for a steel tube core rod, the full-process induction heat treatment method is implemented based on the above-mentioned full-process induction heat treatment device.
[0049] The full-process induction heat treatment method of the steel tube mandrel comprises the following steps:
[0050] Step 1: Place the mandrel 1 on a horizontal conveyor roller, and enable the mandrel 1 to reciprocate horizontally through the horizontal conveyor roller.
[0051] The material of the mandrel 1 is usually H13 steel, the diameter of the mandrel 1 is usually 50-250 mm, and the length of the mandrel 1 is usually 10-30 m.
[0052] In each transmission process of the mandrel 1, that is, in each unidirectional transmission process of the mandrel 1 along the horizontal conveyor roller, the mandrel 1 first enters from one side of the induction heating furnace 2, which is defined as the inlet side of the induction heating furnace 2; after being heated, the mandrel 1 is output from the other side of the induction heating furnace 2, which is defined as the outlet side of the induction heating furnace 2. The end of the mandrel 1 that first enters the induction heating furnace 2 is defined as the head end, and the other end of the mandrel 1 is defined as the tail end. The mandrel 1 passes through one of the coolers 4 (defined as the cooler 4 on the inlet side of the induction heating furnace 2), one of the thermometers 5 (defined as the thermometer 5 on the inlet side of the induction heating furnace 2), the induction heating furnace 2, another thermometer 5 (defined as the thermometer 5 on the outlet side of the induction heating furnace 2), and another cooler 4 (defined as the cooler 4 on the outlet side of the induction heating furnace 2).
[0053] Step 2: Preliminary quenching process: The core rod 1 at room temperature is transferred from one end of the horizontal conveyor roller to the other end. During the transfer process, the core rod 1 is heated to the first quenching temperature by the induction heating furnace 2, and after induction heating, the core rod 1 is cooled by the cooler 4 at the outlet side of the induction heating furnace 2, so that the temperature of the core rod 1 drops below 180°C. The first quenching temperature can be measured by the thermometer 5 at the outlet side of the induction heating furnace 2, and the temperature after cooling can be measured by the thermometer 5 at the outlet side of the induction heating furnace 2 during the next transfer process. The thermometer 5 can be an infrared thermometer.
[0054] The first quenching temperature is 950-1050° C., the power of the induction heating furnace 2 is 850-950 kW, the frequency is 500-2000 Hz, and the transmission speed of the core rod 1 is 1-1.5 m / min.
[0055] Step 3: Tempering process: The core rod 1 is transferred from the other end to the one end of the horizontal conveyor roller (i.e., the transfer direction of the core rod 1 in step 3 is opposite to the transfer direction of the core rod 1 in step 2). During the transfer process, the core rod 1 is heated to the first tempering temperature by the induction heating furnace 2, and after the induction heating, it is cooled by the cooler 4 on the outlet side of the induction heating furnace 2, so that the temperature of the core rod 1 drops below 180°C.
[0056] During the quenching and tempering process, before the core rod 1 enters the induction heating furnace 2 for induction heating, the core rod 1 can be cooled by the cooler 4 located at the inlet side of the induction heating furnace 2 in the transmission direction of the core rod 1. The cooling water flow rate of the cooling nozzle 42 in the cooler 4 at the inlet side can be linearly adjusted from large to small according to the temperature of the core rod 1. Figure 5 As shown, the axial temperature difference caused by the different natural cooling of the head and tail ends of the core rod 1 is eliminated. The first tempering temperature can be measured by the temperature measuring instrument 5 at the outlet side of the induction heating furnace 2, and the temperature after cooling can be measured by the temperature measuring instrument 5 at the outlet side of the induction heating furnace 2 during the next transmission process.
[0057] The first tempering temperature is 650-700°C, the power of the induction heating furnace 2 is 500-600kW, the frequency is 500-2000Hz, and the transmission speed of the core rod 1 is 0.1-0.5m / min. The power of the induction heating furnace 2 can be adjusted linearly from small to large according to the temperature of the core rod 1, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 5 As shown, the axial temperature difference caused by the different natural cooling of the head and tail ends of the core rod 1 can be further eliminated.
[0058] Through the preliminary quenching process and the quenching and tempering process, the surface layer of the core rod 1 is in a state of sorbite structure with refined grains before the formal quenching, reducing the degree of banded segregation and preparing for the subsequent formal quenching process. Moreover, the surface layer is a depth range of 10-15mm greater than the thickness of the working layer from the surface of the core rod 1, so as to improve the metallographic structure and performance of the transition zone at the bottom of the surface hardened layer.
[0059] Step 4: Formal quenching process: The core rod 1 is transferred from one end to the other end of the horizontal conveyor roller (i.e., the transfer direction of the core rod 1 in step 4 is the same as the transfer direction of the core rod 1 in step 2). During the transfer process, the core rod 1 is heated to the second quenching temperature by the induction heating furnace 2, and after the induction heating, it is cooled by the cooler 4 on the outlet side of the induction heating furnace 2, so that the temperature of the core rod 1 drops below 180°C.
[0060] During the formal quenching process, before the core rod 1 enters the induction heating furnace 2 for induction heating, the core rod 1 can be cooled by the cooler 4 located at the inlet side of the induction heating furnace 2 in the transmission direction of the core rod 1. The cooling water flow rate of the cooling nozzle 42 in the cooler 4 at the inlet side can be linearly adjusted from large to small according to the temperature of the core rod 1, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 5 As shown, the axial temperature difference caused by the different natural cooling of the head and tail ends of the core rod 1 is eliminated. The second quenching temperature can be measured by the temperature measuring instrument 5 at the outlet side of the induction heating furnace 2, and the temperature after cooling can be measured by the temperature measuring instrument 5 at the outlet side of the induction heating furnace 2 during the next transmission process.
[0061] The second quenching temperature is 1000-1100°C, the power of the induction heating furnace 2 is 900-1000kW, the frequency is 500-2000Hz, and the transmission speed of the core rod 1 is 1-1.5m / min. The power of the induction heating furnace 2 can be linearly adjusted from small to large according to the temperature of the core rod 1, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 5 As shown, the axial temperature difference caused by the different natural cooling of the head and tail ends of the core rod 1 can be further eliminated.
[0062] Step 5: The tempering process is performed several times continuously. The process of each tempering process is as follows: the core rod 1 is transported through a horizontal conveyor roller. During the transportation process, the core rod 1 is heated to a second tempering temperature by the induction heating furnace 2. After the induction heating, the core rod 1 is cooled by the cooler 4 at the outlet side of the induction heating furnace 2 to reduce the temperature of the core rod 1 to below 180°C.
[0063] During each tempering process, before the core rod 1 enters the induction heating furnace 2 for induction heating, the core rod 1 can be cooled by the cooler 4 located at the inlet side of the induction heating furnace 2 in the transmission direction of the core rod 1. The cooling water flow rate of the cooling nozzle 42 in the cooler 4 at the inlet side can be linearly adjusted from large to small according to the temperature of the core rod 1. Figure 5 As shown, the axial temperature difference caused by the different natural cooling of the head and tail ends of the core rod 1 is eliminated. The second tempering temperature can be measured by the temperature measuring instrument 5 at the outlet side of the induction heating furnace 2, and the temperature after cooling can be measured by the temperature measuring instrument 5 at the outlet side of the induction heating furnace 2 during the next transmission process.
[0064] During each tempering process, the second tempering temperature is 550-600°C, the power of the induction heating furnace 2 is 400-500kW, the frequency is 500-2000Hz, and the transmission speed of the core rod 1 is 0.1-0.5m / min. The power of the induction heating furnace 2 can be linearly adjusted from small to large according to the temperature of the core rod 1, as shown in the attached Figure 5 As shown, the axial temperature difference caused by the different natural cooling of the head and tail ends of the core rod 1 can be further eliminated.
[0065] In the step 5, the heating temperature of each tempering can be the same or different according to the specific material and process conditions, and the corresponding power supply power is adjusted accordingly, while the frequency and speed can remain unchanged.
[0066] The tempering process is performed 2-3 times, and the transmission direction of the mandrel 1 in the first tempering process is opposite to the transmission direction of the mandrel 1 in step 4, and the transmission directions of the mandrel 1 in two adjacent tempering processes are opposite. Through 2-3 consecutive tempering processes, the secondary hardening effect of H13 steel can be fully exerted, the hardness and performance of the tempered martensite structure of the mandrel 1 can be improved, and the heat treatment quality of the mandrel 1 can be improved.
[0067] The first quenching temperature, the first tempering temperature, the second quenching temperature, the second tempering temperature and the temperature after cooling are all the surface temperatures of the core rod 1, which can be measured by two temperature measuring instruments 5. The surface temperature of the core rod 1 is substantially consistent with the internal temperature of the skin layer.
[0068] Since the above temperatures are all the surface temperatures of the core rod 1 measured by the temperature measuring instrument 5, and in order to eliminate the problem that the core rod 1 has an axial temperature difference due to the different actual residence time of the head end and the tail end of the core rod 1 in the natural cooling section on the conveying roller during the continuous reciprocating transmission, the core rod 1 has a different temperature drop under the natural cooling of the surrounding air, which may affect the temperature uniformity of the induction heating (that is, the basic temperature is high at the front and low at the back), the cooling water flow rate of the cooler 4 is set to 30-60m 3 / h, the pressure is set to 0.4-0.8MPa. Figure 5 , during each transfer of the mandrel 1 (except for the transfer of the mandrel 1 in the pre-quenching process, since the head and tail of the mandrel 1 are already at a uniform basic temperature state of room temperature during the pre-quenching process, there is no need to adjust the cooling flow), the cooling water flow of the cooler 4 can be linearly adjusted from large to small according to the temperature of the mandrel 1 to keep the overall temperature of the mandrel 1 uniform before heating. Alternatively, during each transfer of the mandrel 1 (except for the transfer of the mandrel 1 in the pre-quenching process, since the head and tail of the mandrel 1 are already at a uniform basic temperature state of room temperature during the pre-quenching process, there is no need to adjust the power), the power of the induction heating furnace 2 can be linearly adjusted from small to large according to the temperature of the mandrel 1 to keep the overall temperature of the mandrel 1 uniform after heating. Alternatively, during each transfer of the mandrel 1 (except for the transfer of the mandrel 1 during the preliminary quenching process, since the head and tail of the mandrel 1 are at a uniform basic temperature state of room temperature during the preliminary quenching process, there is no need to adjust the cooling flow or power), the cooling water flow of the cooler 4 and the power of the induction heating furnace 2 can be adjusted simultaneously according to the temperature of the mandrel 1 to keep the overall axial temperature of the mandrel 1 uniform after heating. The power of the induction heating furnace 2 can also further form a closed-loop control with the temperature signal of the temperature measuring instrument 5.
[0069] The preliminary quenching process, the quenching and tempering process, the formal quenching process, and several tempering processes constitute the whole process of induction heat treatment, and the whole process of induction heat treatment takes 4-6 hours. Compared with the heat treatment process in the prior art which takes 10 hours (excluding the turnover time of the core rod being transported and hoisted between the gas furnace and the induction quenching line), the heat treatment time of the present invention can be reduced by about 50%, which greatly improves the heat treatment efficiency of the core rod 1, improves the heat treatment quality of the core rod 1, and does not have the problems of decarburization, three wastes discharge and pollution.
