Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of heat treatment, and particularly relates to a heat treatment method for 30CrNiMo8 steel, which is a tie rod material for an ORC turbine unit. Background Art

[0002] An ORC turbine unit is a device used to increase gas pressure and transport gas, and has been gradually widely used in industries such as petroleum, chemical industry, pharmaceutical, and sewage treatment. As the unit is used more and more widely, the requirements for materials and heat treatment are also getting higher and higher. The tie rod of the ORC turbine unit is a slender columnar structure. When traditional heat treatment is carried out with multiple tie rods lying horizontally on a heat treatment tray, bending, twisting and deformation are very likely to occur during the heat treatment process. Straightening and other cold deformation processes are required after heat treatment, and new internal stresses are generated during the cold deformation process. As an important component in the compressor rotor, the generation of internal stresses poses a hazard to the operation of the unit; in addition, as a rotating component of the compressor, the tie rod has high strength requirements. Due to the existence of mixed crystal structure in the original structure of 30CrNiMo8 steel raw materials, the corresponding structure is inherited during subsequent heat treatment, resulting in the heat treatment strength not meeting the requirements, and serious quality accidents will occur. Therefore, sometimes only relatively expensive materials can be selected for the tie rod material, which increases the production cost and reduces the production profit. Summary of the Invention

The high-temperature and low-temperature fluctuation heat treatment method is used to break the heredity of the original structure of the material, make the material structure uniform, and effectively refine the grain size of the material. The grain size can reach above grade 7, which can significantly improve the strength of the 30CrNiMo8 steel material.

[0041] In some embodiments, the diameter of the boss is not less than 10 mm larger than the diameter of the hanging hole, and the thickness of the boss is 20 - 25 mm.

[0042] Specifically, in order to ensure that the tie rod is stably hung on the hanging plate, the diameter of the boss is designed to be not less than 10 mm larger than the diameter of the hanging hole, and the thickness of the boss is 20 - 25 mm.

[0043] In some embodiments, the hanging plate is provided with a plurality of the hanging holes, and the minimum distance between the hanging holes is not less than 160 mm.

[0044] Specifically, in order to ensure that the hanging plate can lift the tie rod, the minimum distance between the hanging holes is controlled to be not less than 160 mm.

[0045] In some embodiments, for the high-temperature normalizing treatment, the pull rod is first heated to 580 - 650 °C and held for 1 - 3 h, then heated to 850 - 880 °C and held for ≥2 h. Further, for the high-temperature normalizing treatment, the pull rod is heated according to power when the temperature is ≤400 °C, and after the temperature exceeds 400 °C, it is heated to 580 - 650 °C at a rate of ≤100 °C / h, held for 1 - 3 h, then heated to 850 - 880 °C at a rate of ≤80 °C / h, held for ≥2 h, and then air-cooled.

[0046] Specifically, through the high-temperature normalizing treatment, excessive internal stress in the workpiece can be eliminated, the structure can be made uniform, and controlling the heating rate is mainly to ensure the uniformity of the part and the furnace temperature and prevent part deformation.

[0047] In some embodiments, for the normalizing treatment on the critical region side, the pull rod after the high-temperature normalizing treatment is first heated to 560 - 620 °C and held for 1 - 3 h, then heated to 800 - 830 °C and held for ≥2 h. Further, for the normalizing treatment on the critical region side, the pull rod after the high-temperature normalizing treatment is heated according to power when the temperature is ≤400 °C, and after the temperature exceeds 400 °C, it is heated to 560 - 620 °C at a rate of ≤100 °C / h, held for 1 - 3 h, then heated to 800 - 830 °C at a rate of ≤80 °C / h, held for ≥2 h, and then air-cooled.

[0048] Specifically, the normalizing treatment on the critical region side and the high-temperature normalizing treatment form a heating method with high and low temperature fluctuations, breaking the structure heredity of the raw material, refining the grains, and controlling the heating rate is mainly to ensure the uniformity of the part and the furnace temperature and prevent part deformation.

[0049] In some embodiments, for the quenching treatment, the pull rod after the normalizing treatment on the critical region side is heated according to power when the temperature is ≤400 °C, and after the temperature exceeds 400 °C, it is heated to 580 - 650 °C at a rate of ≤100 °C / h, held for 1 - 3 h, then heated to 850 - 870 °C at a rate of ≤80 °C / h, held for ≥2 h, and then oil-cooled to ≤200 °C and taken out of the oil.

[0050] Specifically, by controlling the heating rate, the uniformity of the pull rod and the furnace temperature is ensured; after the quenching treatment, more martensite or lower bainite structures are obtained.

[0051] In some embodiments, for the tempering treatment, the pull rod after the quenching treatment is heated according to power when the temperature is ≤300 °C, and after the temperature exceeds 300 °C, it is heated to 530 - 600 °C at a rate of ≤60 °C / h, held for ≥4 h, and then air-cooled.

[0052] Specifically, by controlling the heating rate, the uniformity of the pull rod and the furnace temperature is ensured; after the tempering treatment, mechanical properties meeting the design requirements are obtained.

[0053] In some embodiments, after the high-temperature normalizing treatment, the tie rod is hung vertically. The tie rod is hot-loaded into the furnace at a temperature ≤400°C for the critical-region side normalizing treatment; after the critical-region side normalizing treatment, the tie rod is hung vertically. The tie rod is hot-loaded into the furnace at a temperature ≤400°C for the quenching treatment; after the quenching treatment, the tie rod is hung vertically. The tie rod is hot-loaded into the furnace at a temperature ≤300°C for the tempering treatment; after the tempering treatment, the tie rod is hung vertically.

[0054] Specifically, hanging the tie rod vertically after taking it out of the furnace can avoid contact between the tie rods and reduce deformation caused by the mutual force between the tie rods. Hot-loading the tie rod into the furnace at a temperature ≤400°C for the critical-region side normalizing treatment, hot-loading the tie rod into the furnace at a temperature ≤400°C for the quenching treatment, and hot-loading the tie rod into the furnace at a temperature ≤300°C for the tempering treatment can save time and energy costs while ensuring the heat treatment performance.

[0055] In summary, the heat treatment method for the tie rod material 30CrNiMo8 steel of an ORC turbine unit provided by the present invention first adjusts the traditional horizontal placement method of the 30CrNiMo8 steel tie rod during heat treatment. By designing a heat treatment lifting tooling, the tie rod is always in a vertical manner during the heat treatment process, and the tie rod is also placed in a vertically hanging manner after being taken out of the furnace, reducing the deformation amount of the tie rod during the heat treatment process. Moreover, there is no mutual contact between the tie rods, reducing the deformation caused by mutual extrusion between the tie rods and improving the heat treatment quality of the tie rod. Secondly, the heat treatment process and parameters of the tie rod are optimized. The high-temperature normalizing treatment and the critical-region side normalizing treatment are added to the traditional process, that is, a heat treatment method of high-temperature normalizing treatment, critical-region side normalizing treatment, quenching treatment, and tempering treatment is adopted. By using the combination of high-temperature normalizing treatment and critical-region side normalizing treatment, the hereditary property of the original structure of the material is broken by using the high-temperature and low-temperature fluctuation heat treatment method, making the material structure uniform, and effectively refining the grain size of the material. The grain size can reach above grade 7. And with the tempering treatment temperature controlled within the range of 530 - 600°C, the strength of the material 30CrNiMo8 steel can be significantly improved, enabling 30CrNiMo8 steel to be applied to high-strength tie rods. Thus, 30CrNiMo8 steel can be used to replace relatively expensive materials, effectively saving production costs and improving economic benefits.
