Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of non-quenched and tempered steel, and particularly relates to a high-strength and high-toughness medium-carbon ferrite-pearlite type non-quenched and tempered steel and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Non-quenched and tempered steel is a kind of steel grade that is added with a certain amount of micro-alloying elements on the basis of medium and high carbon steel, and is controlled by rolling (forging) and controlled cooling, so that the mechanical properties of the steel grade can be equivalent to those of quenched and tempered steel after rolling (forging) without quenching and tempering process. Under the background of double-carbon, using non-quenched and tempered steel which is energy-saving, emission-reducing and lower in cost to replace quenched and tempered steel has become an important trend of the current steel industry. The research and use of non-quenched and tempered steel can further develop the energy utilization and pollution control technology in the steel production process, and have important guiding significance for promoting the transformation and upgrading of the steel industry, and will certainly set off a trend of energy saving and emission reduction.

[0003] In medium-carbon non-quenched and tempered steel, the addition of Ti element can further reduce the cost and has a very broad market prospect, but Ti has a relatively active chemical property and can generate liquid-precipitated TiN and some relatively coarse Ti-containing inclusions at high temperature, which has an adverse effect on the performance of the steel. Zr, as an element adjacent to Ti and having similar physical and chemical properties to Ti, can refine and modify the inclusions in Ti steel. Zr element is initially used for deoxidation and modified sulfide in the steelmaking process, and in modern steelmaking technology, more attention is paid to its addition as a micro-alloying element to form carbonitride and perform precipitation and deposition. The application of Ti and Zr composite micro-alloying provides a new idea for realizing the matching of strength and toughness of non-quenched and tempered steel.

[0004] Current relevant patents focus on the micro-alloying design of non-quenched and tempered steel. For example, the patent with publication number CN106119711A discloses a V-Ti micro-alloyed non-quenched and tempered steel bar and a manufacturing method thereof. By adding V: 0.05-0.30%, Ti: 0.010-0.060%, and controlling N: 0.010-0.035%, the tensile strength is ≥900 MPa, and the yield strength is ≥640 MPa. The patent with publication number CN111748751A discloses a non-quenched and tempered steel with multiple elements added, including V, Nb, Ti, Ni, Mo, N and the like. The tensile strength is 900-1150 MPa, the yield strength is ≥600 MPa, and the impact energy A Ku≥30J. The above patents solve the problem of matching strength and toughness to some extent, but the composition is complex and the cost is high due to the addition of micro-alloying elements. The publication number CN107312908A adopts the method of adding Zr element to the steel to control the morphology of MnS, adopts Zr deoxidization, and utilizes ZrO2 as a heterogeneous nucleation core of MnS in the solidification process to achieve the purpose of refining MnS, but zirconium dioxide is easy to gather and form brittle inclusions, which will cause certain harm to the performance of the steel, and it does not involve the beneficial effect of Zr element as a micro-alloying element. SUMMARY

[0005] The present application provides a high-strength and high-toughness medium-carbon ferrite-pearlite type non-quenched and tempered steel and a preparation method thereof, which can improve the matching of strength and toughness while reducing the cost.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the technical scheme provided by the present application is as follows:

[0007] A high-strength and high-toughness medium-carbon ferrite-pearlite type non-quenched and tempered steel, comprising the following components: C: 0.40-0.48%; Si: 0.20-0.60%; Mn: 1.20-1.60%; Ti: 0.010-0.020%; Zr: 0.005-0.020%; P≤0.025%; S≤0.015%; N: 0.010-0.025%, and the remainder being Fe and unavoidable impurities.

[0008] Preferably, the high-strength and high-toughness medium-carbon ferrite-pearlite type non-quenched and tempered steel according to the present application has the following chemical components: C: 0.43-0.46%; Si: 0.30-0.45%; Mn: 1.20-1.30%; Ti: 0.015-0.018%; Zr: 0.008-0.012%; P≤0.010%; S≤0.005%; N: 0.013-0.018%, and the remainder being Fe and unavoidable impurities.

[0009] The production method of the high-strength and high-toughness medium-carbon ferrite-pearlite type non-quenched and tempered steel according to the present application is as follows: continuous casting large square billet→heating furnace heating→rough rolling→finish rolling→cold bed air cooling→saw cutting→bundling; wherein the heating time of the continuous casting billet is 3-4h, and the soaking temperature is 1150-1200℃; the rough rolling opening temperature is 1150-1200℃, and the finish rolling opening temperature is 900-1000℃.

[0010] The effects of each alloying element and the specific content in the high-strength and high-toughness medium-carbon ferrite-pearlite type non-quenched and tempered steel according to the present application are as follows:

[0011] C: the most important element for the strength and hardness of the steel, but the content should be controlled, otherwise the plasticity and toughness of the steel will be seriously affected, the content of C in the medium carbon non-quenched and tempered steel is generally not allowed to exceed 0.5%, the content of C in the ferrite-pearlite non-quenched and tempered steel in the application is 0.40%-0.48%, wherein the content of C can be 0.40%, 0.41%, 0.42%, 0.43%, 0.44%, 0.45%, 0.46%, 0.47% or 0.48%.

[0012] Mn is one of the most important elements of the medium carbon non-quenched and tempered steel, and the addition of an appropriate amount of Mn in the steel is beneficial to the strength and toughness of the non-quenched and tempered steel. However, it should be noted that the content of Mn should not be too high, otherwise the plasticity and toughness of the steel will be deteriorated due to the generation of bainite in the quenched structure, and the content of Mn in the medium carbon non-quenched and tempered steel is generally not more than 1.5%, and the content of Mn in the designed steel is 1.20%-1.60%.

[0013] Si exists in the form of solid solution in the steel, and is an important ferrite strengthening element, and like C element, excessive Si will seriously reduce the toughness of the steel, and the content of Si in the designed steel should be 0.20%-0.60%.

[0014] Ti has a low solid solubility in the steel, is easy to precipitate in austenite, is pinned at the grain boundary, prevents grain growth and recrystallization, and can play a role in refining the grain, Ti is also a strong deoxidizer in the steel, can make the internal structure of the steel dense, reduce the aging sensitivity and cold brittleness, and improve the welding performance, in addition, due to the low solid solubility, Ti is easy to appear in the form of interphase precipitation in the process of austenite to ferrite transformation, and improves the high temperature strength, and the content of Ti in the designed steel is 0.010%-0.020%.

[0015] Zr has a stronger binding force with S and N than Ti, can reduce the loss of Ti at the high temperature stage, reduce the activity of Ti and C in ferrite, and improve the solid solubility of Ti in austenite, and Zr can be used as an auxiliary element of the steel, and the effect of Ti can be fully utilized, and the content of Zr in the designed steel is 0.005%-0.020%.

[0016] For the medium carbon non-quenched and tempered steel, S is easy to segregate in the steel, and deteriorates the quality of the steel, and for the shaft rod type parts, the high content of S will affect the quality of the later plating process, therefore, the content of S in the designed steel is controlled to be ≤0.015%.

[0017] P element can form micro-segregation when the steel liquid solidifies, and then is aggregated at the grain boundary when heated at high temperature, so that the brittleness of the steel is significantly increased, therefore, the content of P in the designed steel is controlled to be ≤0.025%.

[0018] The technical scheme of the application has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0019] 1. The chemical composition of the present application is designed to improve the strength and toughness level by adding basic elements and micro-alloying elements Ti and Zr without using V micro-alloying element. Similar to Ti, Zr can also form fine ZrN at high temperature stage, and the particle size of ZrN is not greater than 100 nm. The addition of Zr reduces the loss of Ti element at high temperature stage, avoids the generation of large size TiN, and the rolling process can increase dislocation and refine grains. Most of the remaining Ti and part of Zr precipitate to strengthen soft ferrite after phase transformation and phase change. The production method has the advantages of simple control, low manufacturing cost and strong operability.

[0020] 2. The non-quenched and tempered steel provided by the present application has excellent mechanical properties, the tensile strength is 900-950 MPa, the reduction of area is 55-60%, and the U-shaped notch impact value is 60-70 J; the microstructure is ferrite + pearlite, the structure is uniform and fine, and the uniformity is good, the austenite grain size at the 1 / 2 radius position of the bar can reach 8.5 grade, and the grain size difference between the core and the surface can be as low as 0.5 grade.
