Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cold working die steel production, and in particular to a high-strength and high-toughness cold working die flat steel and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Cold work die steel is a crucial component of tool steel and is widely used in blanking, stamping, cold extrusion, cold heading, drawing, and coining dies. For high-precision cold stamping dies, DC53, an improved version of Cr12MoV developed by Japan's Daido Steel Co., Ltd., and the domestically designated Cr8Mo2SiV, are highly favored. Therefore, DC53 (Cr8Mo2SiV) has long been widely used as a representative example of high-strength and high-toughness cold work die steel. However, unlike Cr12MoV, DC53's unique solidification characteristics lead to the formation of coarse, aggregated eutectic carbides. If the subsequent deformation process is not properly controlled, internal cracks can occur, resulting in point-like or continuous linear flaw detection alarms. Currently, DC53 flat steel, the primary raw material for cold stamping dies, is typically produced using die-cast ingot forging and rolling, or direct rolling from electroslag remelted ingots. This significantly increases production costs and reduces efficiency.

[0003] Patent CN115106471A discloses a method for forging titanium alloy forgings with rectangular cross-sections. The continuously cast round billet is repeatedly upset and stretched to a desired size using a flat anvil. After multiple reforging of the intermediate billet and subsequent product forging, titanium alloy flat steel with cross-sections of 60×190 and 80×190 is ultimately obtained. This patented method involves multiple upsetting of the continuously cast round billet using conventional flat anvils, followed by multiple forging of the intermediate billet. This method results in a lengthy and costly process, making it uneconomical and of limited use for DC53 flat steel production.

[0004] Patent CN114603074A discloses a forging method for large-scale forging billets of ultra-high strength and toughness TB18 titanium alloy. Specifically, the method comprises: first, forging the billet; then, forging the billet through three stages; and finally, forming forging. The method precisely controls the deformation, temperature, and forging ratio at each step throughout the process. A large fast forging unit is used to ensure sufficient forging pressure and the forgeability of the billet. Through multi-stage billet forging, the billet's aspect ratio is reduced, and double drumming generated during the forging process is effectively eliminated. A reasonable pass deformation is designed to control temperature rise and reduce deformation dead zones. Three-dimensional reversing is used to address the problem of forgeability in the middle. Flattening ensures uniformity of the billet's surface and core microstructures. Continuous remelting shortens the processing flow and preparation cycle. Through dual-operation linkage, fast feeding and reciprocating drawing are achieved. The resulting titanium alloy forging billet exhibits good high- and low-magnification microstructure uniformity, and mechanical testing shows that it fully meets the high-strength and toughness requirements of aviation equipment. This patent is mainly aimed at titanium alloy forging billets, which have high costs. However, the material properties of DC53 are significantly different from those of TB18 and do not meet the requirements of economical production. Summary of the Invention

Based on a continuous casting billet with a specific cross-section, the present invention designs a corresponding flat steel production process, particularly for thick flat steel with a thickness of 65-70 mm and a width of 400-450 mm.

[0045] In order to solve the above problems, Figure 1 As shown, the present invention is based on a continuous casting billet with a specific cross-section shape and designs a flat steel production process that matches it, especially a production process for thick flat steel with a thickness of 65-70 mm and a width of 400-450 mm.

[0046] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing high-strength and high-toughness cold-working die flat steel. A forging process is designed for continuous casting billets with special cross-sections. The finished product has a thickness of 65-70 mm and a width of 400-450 mm. The problem of eutectic carbide crushing and refinement is solved, and the flaw detection pass rate is significantly improved.

[0050] (3) The present invention designs a special drawing die, which is a modular die with adjustable width on the left and right (adjustable between 150 and 260 mm) and vertical symmetry (the drawing die includes an upper hammer head and a lower hammer head that are vertically symmetrical, each hammer head is U-shaped, and the two hammer heads can be moved left and right by an electric worm mechanism to achieve left and right width adjustment). The specific dimensions are shown in the schematic diagram. Figure 3 , see the three-dimensional schematic diagram Figure 4 .

[0051] (4) The length of the hammer head working area is 300mm.

[0052] (5) The continuous casting billet has a fixed length of 5 to 7 meters and is directly fed into a walking beam heating furnace for heating in two sections. The first section is the preheating section with a heating temperature of 1130 to 1140°C and a heating time of 2 to 3 hours; the second section is the soaking section with a heating temperature of 1145 ± 5°C and a heating time of 1 to 1.5 hours.

[0053] (6) After the continuous casting billet is removed from the furnace, the first half anvil is fed in, and the cross-sectional shape of the die is adjusted to meet the single hammer pressure of 40-50mm and the die width is adjusted to 210-220mm. The continuous casting billet is stretched for the first time using the stretching die.

The cross-sectional shape of the die is adjusted to 150-160 mm in width and 25-30 mm in single hammer reduction. The continuous casting billet is stretched for the second time using the stretching die.

[0055] (8) During the third feed, the continuous casting billet is not rotated and the feed amount is 240-250 mm. The cross-section of the die is adjusted between half anvil and full anvil: the width is 240-260 mm and the single hammer pressure is 60-70 mm. The continuous casting billet is stretched for the third time using the stretching die to obtain the intermediate billet.

[0056] (9) The intermediate billet is returned to the furnace, that is, sent to a step-beam heating furnace for heating at a temperature of 1140-1145°C for 2.5-3 hours. The press electro-hydraulic hammer is replaced with a flat anvil (conventional hammer head directly), with an anvil width of 400mm, anvil length of 600mm, and a chamfer radius of 10mm.

[0057] (10) The intermediate billet is taken out of the furnace and the wide surface is directly stretched using a flat anvil, with a feed amount of 200-300mm and a reduction amount of 40-45mm, and the width is freely widened.

[0058] (11) In the second stretching, the intermediate blank is not turned over, the feed amount is 200-250mm, the press amount is 25-35mm, and the width is freely widened.

[0059] The above-mentioned half anvil and full anvil refer to the feed amount of the blank.
