Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of iron-based composite material technology, specifically relating to a micron-sized WC ceramic particle-reinforced iron-based self-lubricating wear-resistant bulk material. This invention also relates to a method for preparing the above-mentioned bulk material. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of modern industry, there is an urgent need for steel component materials that can operate under various extreme friction and wear conditions (such as high temperature, high speed, heavy load, and high wear), such as materials used in crusher hammers, excavator bucket teeth, high-speed train brake pads, and rolling mill rolls. Traditional steel materials are usually improved by heat treatment, alloying, or a combination of both to increase material hardness and thus improve friction and wear performance. However, these methods have limited effect on improving the wear performance of steel materials and are gradually becoming insufficient to meet the service conditions of high temperature, high speed, and frequent wear. Therefore, researchers have attempted to use composite methods, using hard ceramic particles as the reinforcing phase, to propose ceramic particle reinforced steel / iron-based composite materials.

[0003] Due to the high melting point of steel and the difficulty in uniformly distributing ceramic particles within molten iron, current research on the preparation of most steel / iron-based composite materials is limited to surface reinforcement. The preparation of bulk ceramic particle-reinforced steel / iron-based composite materials is technically challenging, complex, and costly. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a simple and cost-effective preparation technology for ceramic particle-reinforced bulk iron-based composite materials. Furthermore, improving lubrication performance to reduce material wear has become an important measure to extend the service life of components. Graphite, with its stable chemical properties, hexagonal lamellar structure, high thermal conductivity, and low friction, is an excellent solid lubricant. If it can be introduced as a composite phase into ceramic particle-reinforced steel / iron-based composite materials, its self-lubricating and friction-reducing effect will significantly reduce the coefficient of friction of steel / iron-based composite materials under friction and wear conditions, thereby improving the material's tribological performance. In summary, how to simultaneously introduce uniformly distributed graphite lubricating phases and hard ceramic additive phases into the iron matrix to prepare ceramic particle-reinforced iron-based self-lubricating bulk materials with excellent tribological performance is a key problem that urgently needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a WC ceramic particle reinforced iron-based self-lubricating wear-resistant bulk material, which has the characteristics of uniform distribution of WC ceramic particles and good friction and wear performance.

[0005] Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing the above-mentioned bulk material.

[0006] The technical solution adopted in this invention is a WC ceramic particle-reinforced iron-based self-lubricating wear-resistant bulk material. The bulk material is formed by adding WC powder to molten iron. The material's microstructure consists of WC ceramic particles and spherical graphite uniformly distributed in the iron matrix. The molten iron raw materials include scrap steel, virgin iron, ferrosilicon, carburizing agent, inoculant, and spheroidizing agent, and are composed of the following raw material components by mass percentage: C: 3.4%–3.7%, Si: 2.4%–2.8%, Mn: ≤0.6%, S: ≤0.02%, P: ≤0.1%, Mg: 0.02%–0.04%, Re: 0.02%–0.04%, with the balance being Fe and unavoidable impurities. The mass of WC powder is 10%–40% of the total mass of WC powder and molten iron.

[0007] Another technical solution adopted in this invention is a method for preparing WC ceramic particle-reinforced iron-based self-lubricating wear-resistant bulk material, which is specifically implemented according to the following steps:

[0008] Step 1: Weigh the molten iron raw materials and WC powder. The molten iron raw materials include: scrap steel, virgin iron, ferrosilicon, carburizing agent, inoculant and spheroidizing agent. Then heat and melt the weighed scrap steel, virgin iron, ferrosilicon and carburizing agent into molten iron.

[0009] Step 2: Pour molten iron into a ladle that has been pre-lined with spheroidizing agent, inoculant and covered with iron filings at the bottom for spheroidizing and inoculation treatment;

[0010] Step 3: Disperse the WC casting powder through a sieve and add it to the molten iron in Step 2;

[0011] Step 4: Quickly pour the WC and molten iron mixture obtained in Step 3 into a crystallizer with a water-cooled graphite inner sleeve;

[0012] Step 5: Keep the mixed melt in the crystallizer for 1-3 minutes, then quickly pull out the crystallizer and continue to solidify. After complete solidification, WC ceramic particle reinforced iron-based self-lubricating wear-resistant bulk material is obtained.

[0013] Another feature of the technical solution of this invention is that:

[0014] The mass percentages of each element in the molten iron raw material in step 1 are as follows: C: 3.4%–3.7%, Si: 2.4%–2.8%, Mn: ≤0.6%, S: ≤0.02%, P: ≤0.1%, Mg: 0.02%–0.04%, Re: 0.02%–0.04%, with the balance being Fe and unavoidable impurities; and the mass of WC powder is 10%–40% of the total mass of WC powder and molten iron raw material.

[0015] In step 1, the primary iron is bread iron.

[0016] The heating and melting temperature in step 1 is 1570–1650℃, and the holding time is 2–4 minutes.

[0017] In step 1, the spheroidizing agent is Si-Mg-Ca-Re, which is composed of the following raw material components by mass percentage: Si: 43-47%, Mg: 5.7-6.1%, Ca: 2.5-2.8%, Re: 0.9-1.1%, with the balance being Fe and unavoidable impurities; the amount of spheroidizing agent prepared accounts for 1.0-1.2% of the total mass of the molten iron raw material.

[0018] In step 1, the inoculant is Si-Ba-Ca, which is composed of the following raw material components by mass percentage: Si: 66-69%, Ba: 3.9-4.0%, Ca: 1.3-1.7%, with the balance being Fe and unavoidable impurities; the amount of inoculant prepared accounts for 0.6-0.8% of the total mass of the molten iron raw material.

[0019] In step 2, the spheroidizing agent is laid at the bottom of the ladle, and then covered with inoculant and iron filings in sequence.

[0020] In step 2, the temperature of the molten iron after spheroidizing inoculation treatment is controlled at 1520-1580℃.

[0021] Step 3 involves adding WC powder to molten iron while continuously stirring, and the temperature of the WC ceramic particles and molten iron mixture should be controlled between 1350 and 1400°C.

[0022] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0023] (1) The method of the present invention first melts iron raw materials to form molten iron. After spheroidizing and inoculating, WC powder is dispersed into the high-temperature molten iron through a sieve. During the stirring process, since the WC ceramic particles are almost completely wetted by the molten iron, they are easily dispersed evenly and undergo a certain interface reaction with the high-temperature molten iron to form a metallurgical bond. During the casting process, a crystallizer with a water-cooled graphite inner sleeve is used for rapid solidification. This method of rapid solidification with large supercooling in the liquid phase effectively inhibits the downward agglomeration of WC ceramic particles due to high density and gravity during the solidification process, so that the WC particles are evenly distributed in the iron matrix block material, ensuring the wear-resistant effect of WC ceramic particles. In addition, the rapid solidification with large supercooling in the liquid phase is also conducive to the precipitation of ductile iron in a high-density dispersed distribution state, thereby ensuring the self-lubricating and friction-reducing effect of ductile iron. During the friction and wear process, the high-density dispersed spheroidal graphite precipitated in the iron matrix will form a graphite lubricating film at the friction interface, which plays a role in reducing friction. Meanwhile, the uniformly distributed WC ceramic particles play a supporting and protective role for the iron matrix during the friction and wear process. As a result, the material has excellent friction and wear performance and can be used as a component material under harsh friction and wear service conditions, thereby improving the working efficiency and life of the components.

[0024] (2) The method of the present invention adopts a combination of stirring casting and rapid solidification with large supercooling in the liquid phase region to prepare WC ceramic particle reinforced iron-based self-lubricating wear-resistant bulk material with uniform structure. This method solves the problem that the friction and wear performance of single steel materials is limited and the particle reinforced iron-based bulk composite material is difficult to prepare. The method is simple to operate and has low production cost. Attached Figure Description
