Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of metal heat treatment, in particular to a quenching oil special for precision gears, a preparation method and a use method. BACKGROUND

[0002] Quenching is the most important process in the heat treatment process. Quenching is a process of heating steel above the critical point, holding for a certain time, and then rapidly cooling in a quenching medium to obtain a martensitic structure. The purpose of quenching is to increase the hardness and wear resistance of steel, and to obtain good comprehensive mechanical properties of parts. Common quenching media include salt water, water, mineral oil, air, etc.

[0003] The commonly used materials for precision gears include medium carbon steel (such as 45 steel) and low and medium carbon alloy steel, such as 20Cr, 40Cr, 20CrMnTi, cast iron, cloth-wood or nylon, etc. During the quenching process of precision gears, excessive temperature or slow cooling speed will lead to poor quenching effect, thereby affecting the quality of the gears. Therefore, the temperature and cooling speed must be strictly controlled to ensure the quality of gear quenching.

[0004] Currently, the quenching oil for precision gears uses base oil, quenching agent, antioxidant, brightener and surfactant. The quenching agent is represented by polyisobutylene, and some technologies add polyol ester and dialkylnaphthalene to ensure the cooling performance, such as CN109593930A and CN105950844A. The antioxidant is represented by amine and phenolic antioxidant, such as CN105950844A. The amine will undergo oxidation reaction under high temperature, resulting in increased viscosity, discoloration and other phenomena. Especially for gears with complex surface structure, the hardness layer cannot be obtained with the same thickness as the tooth part at the tooth root, leading to uneven hardness and even micro-cracks. The brightener is represented by imidazoline oleate and methyl terpene resin, such as CN111304419A. The brightener will undergo decomposition reaction under high temperature, producing harmful substances. At the same time, due to the failure of the brightener, the adsorption amount of the quenching oil on the gear surface is increased, resulting in increased consumption. Therefore, the gear surface cannot be cleaned, and "mottling" phenomenon will occur during the tempering process. SUMMARY

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is how to ensure uniform and consistent quenching hardness of precision gears, without mottling during the tempering stage, and effectively reduce the addition of additives affecting the performance of the quenching oil while ensuring the antioxidant ability and cooling performance.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the inventors have summarized and obtained the technical scheme of the present application through practice. The present application adopts the following technical scheme:

[0007] The application discloses a quenching oil special for precision gears, and the precision gears are made of 20CrMnTi, 20Cr2Ni4 or 17CrNiMo6, and the quenching oil is characterized by comprising 20-80 parts of base oil, 2-10 parts of a cooling agent, 0.2-1.0 parts of a surfactant and 0.2-2 parts of an antioxidant.

[0008] The cooling agent comprises a mixture of polyisobutylene maleic anhydride and any one of trimethylolpropane trinormal nonanoate, pentaerythritol tetranormal nonanoate and bis-pentaerythritol ester, and the mass ratio is (2-5):(1-2).

[0009] The polyisobutylene maleic anhydride is introduced into the cooling agent of the quenching oil, the maleic anhydride is introduced on the basis of the superior cooling performance of polyisobutylene, the service life of the quenching oil is unexpectedly prolonged, the anti-aging ability and the hot shear ability are improved, the generation of oil dirt is inhibited, the waste of the quenching oil in the quenching process is reduced, the cost is lowered, the problem of oil mud dispersibility after the quenching oil is used for a period of time is solved, the cleaning performance of the quenching oil is maintained, the surface quality of the quenched gears is improved, the brightening effect is achieved, the surfactant is used in cooperation, the adsorption amount of the quenching oil on the surface of the parts is reduced, the consumption is reduced, the'mottling' phenomenon caused by the incomplete cleaning of the parts in the tempering process is reduced, the superior stability of the quenching oil at high temperature is achieved, the film breaking temperature is improved, and the uniformity of the quenching hardness of the precision gears is ensured.

[0010] Further, the cooling agent further comprises polyisobutylene, and the mass ratio of the polyisobutylene to the polyisobutylene maleic anhydride is 1:(3-6).

[0011] Further, the cooling agent comprises 1-2 parts of polyisobutylene maleic anhydride, 0.2-0.6 parts of polyisobutylene, and 0.2-1 parts of trimethylolpropane trinormal nonanoate.

[0012] Further, the kinematic viscosity of the base oil is 10-230 mm2 / s, and the acid value is less than or equal to 0.3 mgKOH / g.

[0013] Further, the surfactant is at least one of sodium dioctyl sulfosuccinate, sodium linear alkyl benzene sulfonate, cocodiethanolamide and N-tert-butyl-2-benzothiazole sulfenamide.

[0014] Further, the antioxidant comprises a mixture of phosphonate antioxidant and phenolic antioxidant, and the mass fraction ratio of the phosphonate antioxidant to the phenolic antioxidant is (3-5):1.

[0015] The phosphite antioxidant is combined with phenolic antioxidant and polyisobutylene maleic anhydride, and a synergistic effect is usually generated. The synergistic effect can improve the antioxidant effect of the antioxidant, and also can reduce the amount of the antioxidant, thereby reducing the environmental impact. The antioxidants can act together and complement each other to resist harmful substances such as free radicals and peroxides generated during the use of quenching oil. These harmful substances can cause problems such as oxidative degradation and discoloration of the material, thereby affecting the performance and service life of the material.

[0016] Meanwhile, a large amount of phosphite antioxidant and a small amount of phenolic antioxidant are used to improve the thermal oxidation stability, and the problems of oil stains and large amount of quenching oil adsorbed on the surface of the gear caused by the use of methacrylate polymer or amine antioxidant at high temperature are avoided.

[0017] Further, the phosphite antioxidant is at least one of triphenyl phosphite, tetra(2,4-di-tert-butylphenyl) 4,4'-biphenylene diphosphonite, diphenyl alkyl phosphite, and phenyl dialkyl phosphite.

[0020] 1) Two-thirds of the total amount of base oil is weighed according to the proportion, 2-10 parts of a quenching agent are added and uniformly mixed at a temperature of 40-55 DEG C and in an inert gas atmosphere to obtain quenching oil A liquid;

[0024] 4) After the quenching oil B and quenching oil C are added completely, cool to room temperature at a speed of 2-5℃ / min to obtain the quenching oil for precision gear.

[0025] Further, the quenching oil has a kinematic viscosity of 20-50mm2 / s and a using temperature of 40-130℃.

[0026] A method for using the quenching oil for precision gear, the using steps are as follows:

[0027] Heat the workpieces of 20Cr2Ni4 and 17CrNiMo6 to 830-860℃;

[0028] Heat the workpieces of 20CrMnTi to 880-900℃;

[0029] Put the gear workpieces into the quenching oil tank under a closed and inert atmosphere, and open the internal stirring of the quenching oil tank to make the internal quenching oil move up and down and rotate the gear for quenching and cooling treatment.

[0030] The quenching oil tank is provided with a coating structure which is suitable for sticking quenching oil to the root of the gear to reduce the tension between the quenching oil and the surface of the gear.

[0031] The coating structure comprises a rotating disc which is driven to rotate by a servo motor as a power source, a penetrating rod is installed in the middle of the rotating disc and is suitable for penetrating the quenching gear without differential motion in the circumferential direction, a coating ring is installed on the rotating disc, and bristles of a cotton or hemp product are installed on the inner side of the coating ring and are suitable for coating quenching oil at the first time when the quenching gear contacts the quenching oil; the servo motor is located outside the quenching oil tank.

[0032] A movable closure cover is provided on the top of the quenching oil tank, a lifter is provided on the inner top of the movable closure cover and is suitable for lowering the penetrating rod with the quenching gear, gas exchange pipes one and two are provided on the upper part of the movable closure cover, the gas exchange pipe one is suitable for introducing inert gas, and the gas exchange pipe two is suitable for leading out air when the inert gas is introduced, an oil fume condensation and recovery structure is provided on the top of the movable closure cover, the condensation and recovery structure comprises a plurality of condensation plates and a condenser which is suitable for providing a cooling atmosphere for the condensation plates and the atmosphere around the condensation plates, and a collection box is provided on the bottom of the plurality of condensation plates and is suitable for collecting and introducing quenching oil into the quenching oil tank.

[0033] In use, the penetrating rod with the quenching gear is hung by the lifter in the movable closure cover, the movable closure cover is adjusted to be located on the top of the quenching oil tank so that the quenching oil tank is in a closed state, the inert gas is introduced through the gas exchange pipe one and the air is led out through the gas exchange pipe two so that the movable closure cover is in an inert atmosphere.

[0034] The quenching gear is inserted into the quenching oil tank, and the quenching gear is driven by the servo motor to rotate, and the quenching gear is in contact with the quenching oil in the quenching oil tank, so that the quenching oil is coated on the quenching gear, and the quenching oil is coated on the quenching gear.

[0035] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages:

[0036] 1) In the research process, it is found that adding traditional quenching agents such as polyisobutylene and / or dialkylnaphthalene or their mixtures alone cannot achieve the purpose of adjusting the cooling speed of quenching oil.

[0037] In particular, the application of polyisobutylene maleic anhydride in the field of quenching oil makes use of the similar properties of polyisobutylene maleic anhydride and polyisobutylene as quenching agents, and makes use of its optimal cooling characteristics, unexpectedly prolongs the service life of quenching oil, improves its anti-aging ability, thermal shear ability, surface quality, flowability and viscosity, etc.

[0038] Due to the introduction of anhydride groups, the high-temperature resistance of the quenching oil is more superior, and the high-temperature condition can have superior stability, and the film breaking temperature is improved. When the mass ratio of polyisobutylene to polyisobutylene maleic anhydride is 1:6, the excellent anti-oxidation performance and high-temperature film breaking performance are exhibited, and when the mass ratio is higher than 1:4, the viscosity will increase, which is not conducive to the hardening treatment of the root position, and it is also not easy to clean, which will increase the consumption of quenching oil.

[0039] Polyisobutylene mainly improves the cooling speed of quenching oil, and has good effect, while trimethylolpropane tris-n-nonylate, pentaerythritol tetra-n-nonylate and bis-pentaerythritol ester are mainly used to realize precise control of the cooling performance of quenching oil in a small range, so as to be used for gears of different sizes.

[0040] When the quenching agent is selected from polyisobutylene maleic anhydride 1-2 parts, polyisobutylene 0.2-0.6 parts, trimethylolpropane tris-n-nonylate 0.2-1 parts, the cooling effect and anti-aging ability, thermal shear ability, surface quality, flowability, viscosity and other properties are optimal.

[0041] The quenching oil can meet the requirements of workpiece quenching quality, has stable cooling performance, oxidation resistance stability and safety stability during long-term use, is suitable for use under harsh conditions of high temperature and continuous operation for a long time (the continuous use time can be prolonged for a longer time; after being opened, it can be stored for more than 4 years without failure in the light-shielded, cool and dry place), and the input cost of the quenching oil is reduced due to the fact that the cooling characteristics of the quenching oil do not need to be remedied by frequently adding additives (especially brightener).

[0042] 2) The phosphonate antioxidant, the phenolic antioxidant and the polyisobutylene maleic anhydride are used together, a synergistic effect is generated, the antioxidant effect of the antioxidant is improved, the amount of the antioxidant is reduced, and the influence on the environment is reduced.

[0043] The phosphonate antioxidant, the phenolic antioxidant and the polyisobutylene maleic anhydride can jointly act and complement each other to resist harmful substances such as free radicals and peroxides generated during the use of the quenching oil. The harmful substances can cause problems such as oxidation degradation and discoloration of the material, thereby affecting the performance and service life of the material.

[0044] The phosphonate antioxidant and the phenolic antioxidant are used together to improve the thermal oxidation stability, and the problems of oil dirt and large amount of quenching oil adsorbed on the surface of a part caused by the fact that the methacrylate polymer or the amine antioxidant is used are avoided.

[0045] 3) The quenching oil tank and the movable closed cover are used together to make the quenching be in a closed and inert atmosphere, prevent the quenching oil from being seriously lost, prevent the surface of the workpiece from being oxidized by contacting air, ensure that the quenching oil is coated on the gear root at the first time when the quenching gear contacts the quenching oil, prevent the surface tension from being increased and the gear root from being unable to fully contact the quenching oil after repeated use, and ensure the quenching quality.

[0122] The difference from example 1 is that the proportion of polyisobutylene is increased, and this example is suitable for thin precision gears below 20 mm thick, which is beneficial to the consistency of core hardness and working surface hardness, and no cracks occur.

[0123] Comparative example 1

[0124] The components of the traditional gear quenching oil are: 50 parts of base oil, 4 parts of cold complexing agent, 0.5 parts of brightener, 0.3 parts of surfactant, and 0.5 parts of antioxidant, wherein the kinematic viscosity of the base oil is 10-230 mm2 / s, and the acid value is ≤0.3 mgKOH / g.

[0125] The cold complexing agent is a mixture of polyisobutylene and dialkyl naphthalene (the mass ratio of the two is 2:1).

[0126] The brightener is a mixture of imidazoline oleate and methyl terpene resin (the mass ratio is 1:1).

[0127] The antioxidant is alkylated diphenylamine (CAS No. 68921-45-9);

[0128] The surfactant is sodium dioctyl sulfosuccinate (CAS No. 577-11-7).

[0129] The preparation method is as follows:

[0130] 1) Two-thirds of the total amount of base oil is weighed proportionally, 4 parts of quenching agent are added and mixed uniformly at a temperature of 40-55°C and under an inert gas atmosphere to obtain quenching oil A liquid;

[0131] 2) Half of the remaining amount of refined base oil is weighed proportionally, 0.5 parts of antioxidant are added and mixed uniformly at a temperature of 30-45°C and under an inert gas atmosphere to obtain quenching oil B liquid;

[0132] 3) Half of the remaining amount of refined base oil is weighed proportionally, 0.3 parts of surfactant and 0.5 parts of brightener are added and mixed uniformly at a temperature of 30-45°C and under an inert gas atmosphere to obtain quenching oil C liquid;

[0134] 4) After quenching oil B liquid and quenching oil C liquid are completely added, cooling is performed at a speed of 4°C / min to room temperature to obtain quenching oil.

[0135] The cooling performance, thermal oxidation stability of the quenching oil and the gear surface state after quenching are comprehensively evaluated by using SH / T0219 heat treatment oil thermal oxidation stability test method, SH / T0220 heat treatment oil cooling performance test method and heat treatment oil brightness determination method, respectively.

[0136]

[0137] Any of examples 1 to 7 has lower carbon residue increase, lower viscosity ratio and almost equivalent brightness compared with comparative example 1.

[0138] In summary, the application of polyisobutylene maleic anhydride in quenching oil field is a bold attempt of the inventor, and the polyisobutylene maleic anhydride used in the application is mainly synthesized by heat synthesis of polyisobutylene and maleic anhydride as raw materials. The polyisobutylene maleic anhydride not only maintains the excellent cooling performance of quenching oil due to polyisobutylene, but also improves the high-temperature stability of quenching oil due to the introduction of maleic anhydride, thereby increasing the film breaking temperature and preventing the brittle skin phenomenon caused by rapid cooling, especially the rapid cooling of the tooth root position which is prone to cracks. At the same time, the low-temperature cleaning performance is improved to ensure the cleanliness of the gear working surface and reduce the residual quenching oil on the working surface to prevent the occurrence of tempering spots. In addition, the phosphonate antioxidant and phenolic antioxidant are used together to reduce the use of antioxidants and to jointly resist the harmful substances such as free radicals and peroxides generated during the use of quenching oil.

[0139] During the research, it was found that the polyisobutylene maleic anhydride must be used with a certain proportion of phosphonate antioxidant and phenolic antioxidant to exhibit excellent performance. During the experiment, the inventor tried to replace the phosphonate antioxidant and phenolic antioxidant in the application with other types of antioxidants, such as amine and phenolic antioxidants or amine and phosphonate antioxidants or methacrylate polymer antioxidant combined with one or more of amine, phenolic antioxidant, and phosphonate antioxidant. However, it was found that the effect was not ideal, which may be due to the special reaction of amine antioxidant and methacrylate polymer antioxidant caused by the introduction of maleic anhydride at high temperature, resulting in the failure of these antioxidants.
