Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to centrifugal roller manufacturing, in particular to an inner wall stress control and heat treatment method of a high-speed steel outer jacket of a combined roller of a coiler. Background Art

[0002] The pinch rolls of hot rolling coilers used to be made of surfacing materials, but after upgrading, they use high-performance high-alloy jacket combination rolls, which greatly improves the performance. The high-alloy roll jacket is generally made of high-speed steel, which needs to be quenched at high temperature to fully exert its performance. However, the higher the material temperature, the more difficult it is to control the stress of the inner wall after quenching. Excessive stress may cause cracking after interference fitting or cracking and scrapping during use. Therefore, how to control the stress of the inner wall while giving full play to the performance of the outer layer is the difficulty of heat treatment of the combination roll jacket. Summary of the invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method for controlling the inner wall stress and heat treating the high-speed steel outer jacket of the combined roller of the coiler. While the surface structure and hardness achieve high performance, the inner wall stress can be stably controlled below 100MPa, and cracking and failure will not occur due to stress superposition during subsequent interference assembly and use.

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a method for controlling the inner wall stress and heat treating the high-speed steel outer jacket of the combined roll of the coiler, comprising the following steps:

[0005] Step S1, casting the outer layer and inner wall of the high alloy roller sleeve, wherein the outer layer is made of high-speed steel with a C mass fraction of 0.9-3.2%, and the inner layer is made of high-carbon graphite steel with a C mass fraction of 1.0%-1.5%;

[0006] Step S2, preheating the high alloy roller sleeve as a whole, the preheating temperature is 500-700°C, the preheating time is 8-18h, and the inner hole of the roller sleeve is kept flowing to ensure uniform preheating inside and outside, and the temperature difference is ≤15°C;

[0007] Step S3, after sufficient preheating, the outer circle of the roller sleeve is induction quenched and heated within 20 minutes, and the temperature is quickly increased during induction quenching heating, with a heating rate of 30-50°C / min, and the temperature is kept for 15-25 minutes after it reaches a certain temperature;

[0008] Step S4: After the induction quenching and heat preservation is completed, both ends of the high alloy roller sleeve are sealed with refractory fibers, and the surface of the high alloy roller sleeve is sprayed with water and blown with air;

[0009] Step S5, performing tempering twice at 500-550° C. for 10-15 hours.

[0010] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that in step S1, the casting thickness ratio of the outer layer and the inner wall of the high alloy roller sleeve is less than 1.0.

[0011] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that during the induction quenching heating in step S3, the power frequency is 50-100 Hz when the thickness of the outer layer is ≤20 mm, and the power frequency is 100-150 Hz when the thickness of the outer layer is 20-40 mm.

[0012] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that in step S3, when the outer layer C≤1.5%, the quenching temperature is 1030-1050°C, when the outer layer is 1.5%<C<2.5%, the quenching temperature is 1010-1030°C, and when the outer layer is 2.5%<C<3.2%, the quenching temperature is 990-1010°C.

[0013] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that: in step S4, the surface of the high alloy roller sleeve is sprayed with water to 550°C, and then the surface of the high alloy roller sleeve is blown to prevent temperature reversal, and the blowing is stopped after the temperature drops to 540°C, and finally the high alloy roller sleeve continues to slowly cool to 400-450°C.

[0014] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that the cooling rate of spraying water on the surface of the high alloy roller sleeve in step S4 reaches above 10°C / min.

[0015] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that in step S5, when the outer layer hardness of the high alloy roller sleeve is required to be 70-80HS, the tempering temperature is 530-550°C; when the outer layer hardness of the high alloy roller sleeve is required to be 80-90HS, the tempering temperature is 500-530°C.

[0016] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that: in step S5, when the wall thickness of the high alloy roller sleeve is ≤100 mm, the tempering time is 10-12 hours; when the wall thickness of the high alloy roller sleeve is in the range of 100-180 mm, the tempering time is 12-15 hours.

[0017] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the technical progress achieved by the present invention is:

[0018] 1. The outer shell of the high-speed steel pinch roller produced by the present invention has a high surface structure and hardness, while the inner wall stress can be stably controlled below 100MPa, and will not crack and fail due to stress superposition during subsequent interference assembly and use;

[0019] 2. In the present invention, the outer wall of the roller sleeve is made of high-speed steel, which can reach a high hardness after heat treatment to ensure wear resistance. The inner layer is made of low-alloy steel to maintain good toughness to avoid failure during heat treatment and equipment use. The high-alloy roller sleeve is preheated at 500-700°C to relax the casting stress and allow the roller sleeve to enter the plastic temperature range, so that it is not easy to crack during the quenching process. After the roller sleeve is preheated, it is necessary to start heating quickly to ensure the preheating effect. At the same time, the temperature is quickly raised and the heat is kept for a short time to ensure that the outer wall achieves the quenching effect while the inner wall is not overheated to maintain toughness. Then, the surface of the high-alloy roller sleeve is sprayed with water and air to quickly cool down and quench, and the two ends are blocked to ensure that the inner wall is not chilled and toughness is guaranteed. Finally, through multiple high-temperature tempering, the quenched austenite is fully transformed into tempered martensite, and tempering hardening ensures performance while reducing the stress of the inner hole. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with embodiments:

[0021] The present invention is suitable for a pinch roller sleeve made of high-speed steel, the outer layer (usage layer) has a chemical composition mass fraction of C: 0.9-3.2%, Σ(Cr+Mo+V+W)≥8%, and Ni%≥1.0% of the high-speed steel material, the outer diameter of the roller sleeve is generally 600-1100mm, and the length is 600-3000mm. After heat treatment of the roller sleeve, the usage layer structure is tempered martensite + carbide, and the hardness of the usage layer is 70-90HS.

[0022] Centrifugal composite casting is used during casting. The outer layer (use layer) is made of high-speed steel, the inner wall is made of high-carbon graphite steel with a C mass fraction of 1.0-1.5%, and the outer wall of the roller sleeve is made of high-speed steel. After heat treatment, it can reach a higher hardness to ensure wear resistance. The inner layer is made of low-alloy steel to maintain good toughness and avoid failure during heat treatment and equipment use.

[0023] The inner wall stress control and heat treatment method of the high-speed steel outer jacket of the coiler combination roller includes the following steps:

[0024] Step S1, casting the outer layer and inner wall of the high alloy roller sleeve. Since the inner wall needs to have a certain thickness to ensure that the strength is not affected by the outer layer, the casting thickness ratio of the outer layer and the inner wall of the high alloy roller sleeve is less than 1.0;

[0025] Step S2, preheating the high alloy roller sleeve as a whole, the preheating temperature is 500-700℃, the preheating time is 8-18h, during preheating, the inner hole of the roller sleeve is kept flowing to ensure uniform preheating inside and outside, and the temperature difference is ≤15℃; preheating the roller sleeve at 500-700℃ can relax the casting stress and make the roller sleeve enter the plastic temperature range, and it is not easy to crack during the quenching process. If the preheating temperature is too low, there will be no effect, and if the preheating temperature is too high, the inner wall is easy to be quenched, affecting the performance.

[0026] Step S3, after sufficient preheating, quickly heat the outer circle of the roller sleeve by induction quenching within 20 minutes to ensure the effect of step S2, and at the same time quickly heat up and keep warm for a short time to ensure that the outer wall achieves the quenching effect while the inner wall is not overheated and maintains toughness. When induction quenching heating, when the thickness of the outer layer is ≤20mm, the power frequency is 50-100Hz; when the thickness of the outer layer is 20-40mm, the power frequency is 100-150Hz. Rapidly heat up during induction quenching heating, with a heating rate of 30-50℃ / min. If the roller sleeve heats up slowly after preheating, the inner wall is easily quenched and affects the performance. When the outer layer C≤1.5%, the quenching temperature is 1030-1050℃, and the outer layer 1.5%<C≤2.5%, the quenching temperature is 1010-1030℃, and the outer layer 2.5%<C≤3.2%, the quenching temperature is 990-1010℃. Quenching and heat preservation time is 15-25min;

[0027] Step S4: After the induction quenching and heat preservation is completed, the two ends of the high alloy roller sleeve are sealed with refractory fibers, and the surface of the high alloy roller sleeve is sprayed with water to 550°C, and the cooling rate of the water spraying reaches more than 10°C / min. Avoid the pearlite structure on the outer layer, and then blow air to the surface of the high alloy roller sleeve to prevent temperature reversal until the temperature drops to 540°C and then stop blowing. Finally, the high alloy roller sleeve continues to slowly cool to 400-450°C. If it is directly cooled to 400-450°C by blowing, the greater the subsequent cooling intensity, the greater the stress and failure risk.

[0028] Step S5, perform two temperings at 500-550℃ for 10-15h. Since the martensitic transformation termination temperature is lower than room temperature, one tempering cannot ensure sufficient transformation. Generally, the second tempering is performed after the first tempering drops to room temperature. When the outer layer hardness of the high alloy roller sleeve is required to be 70-80HS, the tempering temperature is 530-550℃; when the outer layer hardness of the high alloy roller sleeve is required to be 80-90HS, the tempering temperature is 500-530℃. When the wall thickness of the high alloy roller sleeve is ≤100mm, the tempering time is 10-12h; when the wall thickness of the high alloy roller sleeve is in the range of 100-180mm, the tempering time is 12-15h.
