Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of metallurgical technology, and in particular to a SiMn spring steel without a fully decarburized layer and its manufacturing method. Background Technology

[0002] Spring steel is widely used in automobiles, railways, construction machinery, and military industries. In recent years, due to the demand for lightweight automobiles, spring steel has also been developing towards higher strength, lighter weight, and longer service life. Surface decarburization is a crucial indicator affecting the fatigue life of spring steel, and complete decarburization has a fatal impact on its fatigue life. Because the thermal expansion coefficients of the fully decarburized layer and the semi-decarburized layer are different, microcracks are easily generated at the interface between the two layers during quenching due to residual stress. These microcracks will rapidly propagate under the alternating stress during spring use, leading to spring failure and fracture. Literature reports that the formation of a fully decarburized layer can reduce the fatigue limit of a spring by 50%.

[0003] SiMn series spring steels, such as 60Si2Mn and 60Si2MnA, have high C and Si content, making them prone to decarburization during the rolling process, especially complete decarburization, which has a significant impact on fatigue life.

[0004] There are many studies on reducing the decarburized layer thickness of SiMn spring steel, but most of the literature is experimental research, and many of them only reduce the total decarburized layer, but cannot completely eliminate the decarburized layer of SiMn spring steel.

[0005] Patent CN102560046A discloses a method for controlling surface decarburization of spring steel wire. This method controls heating temperature, heating time, furnace atmosphere, toasting temperature, and cooling rate to achieve the goal of preventing a completely decarburized layer. However, this method is applicable to the production of 55SiCr wire, not to the production of 60Si2Mn spring steel flat bars and bars. Patent CN113699335A discloses a method for manufacturing high-quality 60Si2Mn with a low decarburization layer. While this method reduces the total decarburization layer, it does not mention its impact on the completely decarburized layer. There are also reports of reducing the decarburization layer of SiMn spring steel by using anti-decarburization coatings, but this method is costly and complex, making it unsuitable for large-scale production.

[0006] In view of this, the present invention is hereby proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of this invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments described are merely illustrative of the invention and should not be considered as specific limitations thereof. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention. Process parameters not specifically specified in the following embodiments are generally performed under conventional conditions.

[0034] The endpoints and any values ​​of the ranges disclosed in this invention are not limited to the precise ranges or values, and these ranges or values ​​should be understood to include values ​​close to these ranges or values. For numerical ranges, the endpoint values ​​of the various ranges, the endpoint values ​​of the various ranges and individual point values, and individual point values ​​can be combined with each other to obtain one or more new numerical ranges, which should be considered as specifically disclosed in this invention.

[0035] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a method for manufacturing SiMn spring steel without a fully decarburized layer is provided, comprising billet loading into a furnace, heat treatment, descaling treatment, and rolling treatment;

[0036] The heating process includes a preheating section, a first heating section, a second heating section, and a soaking section; the temperature of the preheating section is 600–800℃; the temperature of the first heating section is 1000–1100℃; the temperature of the second heating section is 1050–1200℃; and the temperature of the soaking section is 1150–1250℃.

[0037] Typical but non-limiting preheating temperatures are 600°C, 620°C, 640°C, 660°C, 680°C, 700°C, 720°C, 740°C, 760°C, 780°C, and 800°C, as well as numerical ranges between any two points.

[0038] Typical but not limiting heating temperatures are 1000℃, 1010℃, 1020℃, 1030℃, 1040℃, 1050℃, 1060℃, 1070℃, 1080℃, 1090℃, 1100℃, and any range between any two points.

[0039] Typical but non-limiting heating two-stage temperatures are 1050℃, 1060℃, 1070℃, 1080℃, 1090℃, 1100℃, 1110℃, 1120℃, 1130℃, 1140℃, 1150℃, 1160℃, 1170℃, 1180℃, 1190℃, 1200℃, and any range between any two points;

[0040] Typical but non-limiting soaking temperatures are 1150℃, 1160℃, 1170℃, 1180℃, 1190℃, 1200℃, 1210℃, 1220℃, 1230℃, 1240℃, 1250℃, and any range between any two points.

[0041] In their steel rolling production practice, the inventors discovered that the soaking temperature of SiMn spring steel is generally between 1050-1300℃. When the soaking temperature is between 1050℃ and less than 1150℃, the decarburization rate on the billet surface is greater than the oxidation rate, resulting in a fully decarburized layer after rolling. When the soaking temperature is ≥1150℃, the oxidation rate on the billet surface is greater than the decarburization rate, and the fully decarburized layer disappears as the temperature rises. However, excessively high heating temperatures can lead to an excessively thick oxide layer on the billet surface, resulting in a loss of yield and affecting the surface quality of the steel. Therefore, it is necessary to control the soaking temperature within a suitable range. This invention removes the fully decarburized layer without causing an excessively thick oxide layer on the billet surface by controlling the soaking temperature within the range of 1150-1250℃.

[0042] On the other hand, the longer the billet heating time, the greater the total decarburization layer and oxidation loss of the steel. To shorten the billet heating time, this invention adopts a method of spacing 1-3 steps between adjacent billets when loading them into the furnace. That is, by spacing adjacent billets 1-3 billet widths apart when loading them into the furnace, the total heating time of each billet is shortened. If there is a 1-step gap, it is equivalent to a 1-bill width gap between adjacent billets. By controlling the gaps between billets, the heating time of the billets is shortened without affecting the hourly output. The number of gaps can be varied with specifications or determined according to product needs.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the total heating time for the heat treatment is 120 to 200 min. Typical but non-limiting total heating times are 120 min, 130 min, 140 min, 150 min, 160 min, 170 min, 180 min, 190 min, 200 min, and any range between any two points.

[0044] More preferably, the soaking time for the heat treatment is 30-90 min. Typical but non-limiting soaking times are 30 min, 40 min, 50 min, 60 min, 70 min, 80 min, 90 min, and any range between any two points.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the air-coal ratio of the first heating stage is 0.5 to 1.5; the air-coal ratio of the second heating stage is 1.0 to 2.0; and the air-coal ratio of the homogenization stage is 2.0 to 3.0.

[0046] Typical, but not limited, air-to-coal ratios for the heating stage are 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5, and the range between any two points.

[0047] Typical, but not restrictive, air-to-coal ratios for the second heating stage are 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0, and the numerical range between any two points.

[0048] Typical, but not restrictive, air-to-coal ratios for the homogenization zone are 2.0, 2.5, and 3.0, and the range between any two points.

[0049] The control of the air-coal ratio directly affects the oxidation loss rate of the billet. The reason why the air-coal ratio of the homogenization section in this invention is higher than the conventional setting is to take advantage of the fact that the oxidation reaction trend is greater than the decarburization reaction trend at this temperature to avoid the full decarburization layer and reduce the total decarburization layer. At the same time, since the total heating time of this invention is shortened, even if the air-coal ratio is set higher, it will not cause a high oxidation loss rate.

[0050] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the total residual oxygen concentration in the heating furnace is <3%.

[0051] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the billet is loaded into the furnace as a cold billet. The cold billet loading of the present invention adopts the conventional cooling method of stacking and cooling to below 200°C, and no longer requires slow cooling in a slow cooling pit, which saves process, improves efficiency, and does not affect the treatment effect of avoiding the complete decarburization layer.

[0052] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a walking beam furnace is used in the heat treatment.

[0053] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the dephosphorization pressure is ≥18MPa during the dephosphorization process; a high-pressure dephosphorizer is used to remove the generated oxide scale.

[0054] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the initial rolling temperature is 1080-1180℃ and the final rolling temperature is 850-950℃.

[0055] Typical but non-limiting rolling temperatures are 1080°C, 1090°C, 1100°C, 1110°C, 1120°C, 1130°C, 1140°C, 1150°C, 1160°C, 1170°C, and 1180°C, as well as numerical ranges between any two points.

[0056] Typical but non-limiting final rolling temperatures are 850°C, 860°C, 870°C, 880°C, 890°C, 900°C, 910°C, 920°C, 930°C, 940°C, and 950°C, as well as numerical ranges between any two points.

[0057] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, during the rolling process, the billet is rolled into flat steel or round steel;

[0058] Preferably, the flat steel has a specification of (6-40) mm × (60-150) mm; the round steel has a specification of...

[0060] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the billet is a 60Si2Mn billet;

[0061] Preferably, the composition of the 60Si2Mn billet by weight percentage is: C: 0.56-0.64%, Si: 1.5-2.0%, Mn: 0.7-1.0%, Cr: ≤0.35%, Ni: ≤0.35%, Cu: ≤0.25%, P: ≤0.025%, S: ≤0.020%, with the balance being Fe and other essential elements;

[0062] Preferably, the billet is a 60Si2Mn continuously cast billet;

[0063] More preferably, the continuous casting billet has a size of 240mm × 240mm.

[0064] According to a second aspect of the invention, a SiMn spring steel without a fully decarburized layer is also provided, which is obtained by the above-described manufacturing method.

[0095] Step 2: Control the preheating section temperature to 620℃; the first heating section temperature to 850℃, with an air-to-coal ratio of 1.2; the second heating section temperature to 1060℃, with an air-to-coal ratio of 1.8; and the homogenization section temperature to 1120℃, with an air-to-coal ratio of 2.1.

Comparative Example 2 shows that if the temperature of the soaking stage exceeds the control range of the present invention, the total decarburized layer will be significantly thickened, the decarburization percentage will also be significantly increased, and the final yield will be lower than that of Examples 1-4. Comparative Example 3 shows that if the temperatures of the second heating stage and the soaking stage exceed the control range of the present invention, the total decarburized layer will be significantly thickened, the decarburization percentage will also be significantly increased, and the final yield will be lower than that of Examples 1-4.
