Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of surface property strengthening of carbon steel metal materials, and particularly relates to a flux-cored wire for enhancing the acid corrosion resistance of the surface of low-carbon steel, and also relates to a method for enhancing the acid corrosion resistance of the surface of low-carbon steel. Background Art
[0002] Due to its good mechanical properties and weldability, low-carbon steel is widely used in industrial production and manufacturing. Moreover, compared with other steel materials, its greatest advantage lies in its low price, and the application fields of low-carbon steel are constantly expanding. However, the corrosion resistance of low-carbon steel is poor, and the performance of single low-carbon steel materials often fails to meet the usage requirements of the working environment, thus restricting its application in acidic corrosion environments and corrosive media.
[0003] In order to effectively solve the problem of the corrosion performance defect of low-carbon steel, researchers at home and abroad have conducted a large number of experiments and studies on the surface modification and strengthening methods of low-carbon steel. Currently, nickel-chromium stainless steel is commonly used for the selection of surface modification materials, but its high price makes it impossible to be applied to large-scale equipment. While nickel-saving high-manganese austenitic steel not only has good corrosion resistance but also low price, and has gradually been taken seriously by researchers in various countries. By consulting a large number of literature methods, there are few studies on modifying the acid corrosion resistance of the surface of low-carbon steel based on arc cladding at present. Therefore, the present invention aims to improve the acid corrosion resistance of the cladding layer of low-carbon steel. Ordinary nickel and chromium austenitic steels have high costs, low strength and poor wear resistance. Therefore, high-manganese austenitic steel is introduced as the cladding layer of low-carbon steel to improve the corrosion resistance of the cladding layer of low-carbon steel and extend the service life of low-carbon steel in acidic corrosion environments.

[0013] Step 2: First, dry the weighed powders to remove the moisture contained in the powders; then carry out alloying treatment using a planetary ball mill; after the ball mill finishes the powder mixing treatment, let the powders stand still in a dry place for 2 - 3 h; use low-carbon steel strip as the outer skin, fill the powder on the outer skin, control the powder filling rate to be 25 wt.% - 27 wt.%, and the diameter reduction of the flux-cored wire is carried out every 0.2 mm until the diameter is 1.2 mm. After the wire is prepared, store it in a constant temperature box;
[0014] Step 3: Treat the surface of the low-carbon steel plate by mechanical grinding to remove surface impurities;
