Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The embodiment of the application relates to the alloy rolling processing technical field, in particular to a high-efficiency preparation method of Fe-Co-V alloy thin strips. BACKGROUND

[0002] Fe-Co-V alloy (1J22 alloy) is an alloy with excellent soft magnetic properties. Its high saturation magnetic induction strength brings great advantages to the reduction of alloy part volume and weight under the premise of constant magnetic demand. By using Fe-Co-V alloy to replace Fe-Si alloy, the weight can be reduced by 20-25% under the condition of ensuring performance requirements, so it is widely used in fields that need to consider the weight and volume of parts, such as aviation, aerospace, navigation, military and high-end civilian fields. In addition, Fe-Co-V alloy has high Curie temperature and excellent high-temperature mechanical properties, which makes the alloy have good high-temperature stability and still has good soft magnetic properties and mechanical properties in high-temperature environments where other soft magnetic materials have failed. At the same time, Fe-Co-V soft magnetic alloy also has the advantages of high magnetic permeability, low magnetic loss and low coercivity.

[0003] The Fe-Co-V alloy (1J22 alloy) widely used in the prior art has excellent soft magnetic properties, and its application mode is mainly thin strips, which are used to manufacture core, shielding shell and other core electromagnetic devices. However, due to its poor mechanical properties at room temperature, the processing and forming difficulty is increased, and thus the processing efficiency and yield are low, which greatly limits its large-scale application.

[0004] The reason for the poor mechanical properties of Fe-Co-V alloy (1J22 alloy) is related to its intrinsic characteristics. Fe-Co-V alloy undergoes secondary phase transformation at 730 DEG C, i.e. Fe-Co order-disorder transition. Above this temperature, intermetallic compound Fe-Co (alpha phase) changes from B2 structure (i.e. typical CsCl type structure) precipitated at low temperature to disordered bcc structure at high temperature. The order-disorder transition is a secondary phase transition, and the order degree changes continuously when the temperature is lower than the order-disorder transition temperature. The order degree of Fe-Co alloy has a significant impact on the performance of the alloy. The completely disordered structure of Fe-Co alloy shows excellent mechanical properties, but the magnetic properties are slightly poor. At the same time, the completely ordered structure of the alloy shows excellent magnetic properties, but the mechanical properties are poor, and it is difficult to be cold processed. In engineering applications, the order degree of the alloy is controlled by different heat treatment processes to obtain different soft magnetic properties.

[0005] When Fe-Co-V alloy is cooled from high-temperature disordered state, it will rapidly undergo an ordered transformation, but when the cooling speed is fast enough, the alloy can maintain the disordered structure at high temperature, and thus the alloy can retain good plasticity for subsequent cold working. In the actual industrial production of Fe-Co-V alloy thin strips, the technical route adopted is smelting-forging-hot rolling-quenching-cold rolling. Among them, the hot rolling and cold rolling processes are the key processes that determine the processing efficiency and yield of the thin strips. In the existing technology, the disordered structure of the alloy is preserved by rapid cooling during the hot rolling process to improve the processing performance of the alloy, and the cold working deformation of the thin strips is realized during the subsequent cold rolling process.

[0006] Since the ordering transformation speed of Fe-Co-V alloy is extremely fast, only when the cooling speed is increased to a certain extent can the disordered structure be preserved. The existing technology performs fast cooling by reducing the volume of the alloy slab and lowering the temperature of the cooling medium. However, as the volume of the slab decreases, the strip can only be processed in a single piece rather than in a multi-piece welded form, resulting in a significant decrease in processing efficiency.

[0007] In order to improve the processing efficiency of the strip, people have tried to weld the disordered alloy plates into a roll in a multi-piece welding manner for continuous cold rolling. However, the Fe-Co-V alloy has poor weldability, and the brittle transformation during welding makes it difficult to ensure continuous processing during the cold rolling deformation stage, often resulting in cracking near the weld and strip breakage, which greatly reduces the yield of the alloy strip. SUMMARY

[0008] Therefore, the embodiments of the present application provide an efficient preparation method for Fe-Co-V alloy thin strips, which utilizes the reversible nature of the ordering-disordering transformation of Fe-Co-V alloy to hot composite roll the head and tail of thick blank Fe-Co-V alloy with easily weldable material, uses easily weldable alloy as connecting material to form an easily weldable material / Fe-Co-V / easily weldable material layered composite joint, and then performs ice salt water quenching after hot rolling to the cold strip blank specification to maintain the disordered state of the Fe-Co-V alloy.

[0016] Further, in the hot rolling process, the hot rolling temperature is 1100-1200℃, and the hot rolling deformation is greater than or equal to 50%.

[0017] Further, the hot composite rolling temperature is 1100-1200℃, the single pass deformation is 33-40%, and the finish rolling temperature is above 780℃.

[0018] Further, the specific operation of the quenching is that the hot-rolled plate is quickly quenched in ice salt water in an inclined manner, the ice salt water temperature is controlled to be 0-10℃, and the hot-rolled plate is taken out after complete cooling.

[0019] Further, the specific operation of the cold rolling is that the plate is cold-rolled to a thickness of 1.0mm-2.0mm by using a twenty-roll rolling mill.

[0020] Further, in the shearing joint process, the shearing position is not less than 200mm away from the joint.
