Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of heat treatment of support roll forgings, and in particular to a method for optimizing the tempering holding time of a support roll forging during a quenching and tempering process based on a finite element model. Background Art

[0002] In order to meet the service performance requirements of the support roller forgings, the forged support roller forgings need to be heat treated, of which quenching and tempering heat treatment is one of them, which includes quenching and high-temperature tempering processes. The purpose of tempering of the support roller forgings is to adjust the structure, reduce or eliminate quenching stress, improve toughness and plasticity, obtain the appropriate combination of hardness, strength, plasticity and toughness, and meet different performance requirements. The tempering heat treatment time of the support roller forgings is generally very long, which causes problems such as low equipment turnover rate, high energy consumption, high product cost, and low market competitiveness.

[0003] At present, the formulation of the tempering heat treatment process of support roller forgings mainly relies on experience, supplemented by some physical experiments and simulation calculations, and there are also algorithms combined with machine learning. However, the existing methods have the following problems: 1) The physical experiment is not carried out in combination with the heat treatment process of the support roller forgings, and cannot reflect the distribution of temperature, structure and performance at different positions of the support roller forgings. In addition, if the tempering process is optimized by means of physical experiments alone, the workload is large, time-consuming, and the results may not be comprehensive enough; 2) The finite element simulation method has not established a reasonable creep model for the tempering process. Since the support roller structure is different from the surface to the core during tempering, the structure from the surface to the core is martensite, bainite, and pearlite, respectively, and the degree of creep under different loads is also different. Because the changes in the structure, carbide precipitation, stress, etc. during the tempering process are relatively complex, there is currently no better mathematical model to describe it. Tempering process, and the prediction of residual stress in the tempering process, the current mature commercial software cannot simulate the residual stress of the creep model under different organizations and different loads during the tempering process; 3) The use of machine learning methods to predict processes or performance requires a large amount of actual production sample data to support it. The currently reported prediction process parameters are quenching temperature and tempering temperature, which do not involve tempering time or residual stress. The results of finite element simulation are also used as sample data, but their accuracy is seriously dependent on the accuracy of the finite element model. If the creep model in the tempering process in the finite element model is not established reasonably, then the reliability of the machine learning results using its results as sample data is also questionable.

[0004] In summary, there is currently no comprehensive and accurate method for determining the tempering heat treatment process parameters of support roll forgings in order to optimize the tempering heat treatment process parameters. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the above analysis, the present invention aims to provide a method for optimizing the tempering holding time of the support roller forging quenching and tempering process based on a finite element model, so as to solve at least one of the problems of the existing method of determining the tempering time being too long and having poor accuracy.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A method for optimizing the tempering holding time of a backup roll forging during a quenching and tempering process based on a finite element model comprises the following steps: Step S1: testing the thermophysical parameters and structural transformation parameters of various structures involved in the heat treatment process of the support roller, establishing a finite element model of the heat treatment process of the support roller, and performing temperature-structure coupling simulation; Step S2: According to the temperature-structure coupling simulation results, the temperature curve of the roller body changing with time during the tempering process is extracted and compared with the tempering process to obtain the holding time when the temperature of the roller body is 5°C lower than the holding temperature of the tempering process, which is recorded as t1; Step S3: respectively plotting hardness curves of the support roller surface, sub-surface and core position as a function of tempering and holding time, and performing normalization processing to obtain the shortest tempering and holding time for stable hardness, recorded as t2; Step S4: respectively draw stress relaxation curves of martensite, bainite and pearlite structures under different load conditions during the quenching and tempering heat treatment of the support roller, and perform normalization processing to obtain the shortest tempering and holding time for the residual stress stability of the martensite, bainite and pearlite structures, which are respectively recorded as t31, t32 and t33, and the maximum value among t31, t32 and t33 is recorded as t3; Step S5: The optimized tempering and holding time of the support roller is recorded as t, t=t1+max(t2, t3).

[0037] The technical solution of the present invention is further explained below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0038] Example 1 A method for optimizing the tempering holding time of a backup roll forging during a quenching and tempering process based on a finite element model comprises the following steps: Step S1: testing the structure, thermophysical parameters and structure transformation parameters of the support roller during the quenching and tempering heat treatment process, establishing a finite element model of the support roller during the quenching and tempering process, and performing temperature-structure coupling simulation, wherein the finite element model is a quenching-tempering insulation model of the support roller; Step S2: extract the temperature curve of the roller body and soul changing with time during the tempering process according to the temperature-structure coupling simulation, and compare it with the tempering process to obtain the holding time when the temperature of the roller body and soul is 5°C lower than the holding temperature of the tempering process. When the holding temperature of the tempering process is 600°C and the temperature of the roller body and soul is 595°C, it is recorded as t1=27h; Step S31: According to the finite element model established in step S1, the temperature curves of the roller surface, sub-surface and core position during the tempering process of the support roller are respectively extracted, such as Figure 2 As shown; Step S32: using the experimental sample to perform a quenching and tempering heat treatment experiment according to the temperature curve obtained in step S31, and taking samples at different stages of tempering and heat preservation to perform a HV10 hardness test; Step S33: Draw the hardness curves of the roller surface, sub-surface and core respectively as the tempering and holding time changes, such as Figure 3 As shown, normalization is performed, such as Figure 4 As shown, the shortest time for which the normalized hardness changes with tempering and holding time is less than 1% is obtained, which is recorded as t2. Experimental tests show that after t2≥10h, the hardness basically tends to be stable, and the change rate is less than 1%, then t2=10h.

[0039] Step S4: According to the temperature curve obtained in step S31, the cooling rate of the experimental sample is controlled to obtain the roller surface (martensite), subsurface (bainite) and core (pearlite) structures of the support roller in actual production, and the stress relaxation curves of the martensite, bainite and pearlite structures under different load conditions are drawn respectively, wherein stress relaxation experiments are carried out on different structures under different loads, the time of the stress relaxation experiment is the tempering and holding time of the support roller before the optimization process (or the end of the experiment when the stress is lower than 20MPa), the stress relaxation load is lower than the yield strength of the structure at the experimental temperature, and the stress relaxation curves of pearlite and pearlite after normalization are as follows: Figure 5 and 6 As shown in Figure 2, the stress relaxation curves of bainite and bainite after normalization are as follows: Figure 7 and 8 As shown in the figure, the stress relaxation curves of martensite and normalized martensite are as follows: Fig. 9 and 10 As shown, the maximum value of the normalized stress relaxation curve is not higher than 30% and the change rate is less than 1%, which is the shortest tempering holding time. The shortest tempering holding times of the pearlite, bainite and martensite structures are respectively recorded as t31, t32 and t33. When t31=12.9h, t32=4.2h and t33=3.6h, the maximum value of t31, t32 and t33 is recorded as t3=12.9h. Step S5: The optimized tempering and holding time of the support roller is recorded as t, t=t1+max(t2, t3)=27h+max(10h, 12.9h)=39.9h.

[0041] Example 2 A method for optimizing the tempering holding time of a backup roll forging during a quenching and tempering process based on a finite element model is the same as that of Example 1, except that: Steps S31, S32, and S33 are steps S31', S32', and S33', respectively, and are specifically as follows: Step S31': According to the CCT curve, the cooling rate of the experimental sample is controlled to obtain different structures contained in the support roller in actual production, and the different structures include martensite, bainite and pearlite; Step S32': performing heat treatment experiments with different tempering and heat preservation times for different structures obtained in step S31', and taking samples at different stages of tempering and heat preservation to perform hardness tests; Step S33': respectively plotting hardness curves of different structures changing with tempering and holding time, and performing normalization processing to obtain the shortest time when the change rate of normalized hardness with tempering and holding time is less than 10%, recorded as t2 = 11h.

[0042] Steps S41, S42, and S43 are steps S41', S42', and S43', respectively, and are specifically as follows: Step S41': According to the CCT curve, the cooling rate of the experimental sample is controlled to obtain different structures obtained in the actual production of the support roller, and the different structures include martensite, bainite and pearlite; Step S42': performing stress relaxation experiments at tempering and holding temperature on the different structures obtained in step S41'; Step S43': respectively draw stress relaxation curves of different structures changing with tempering and holding time, and perform normalization processing. The maximum value of the normalized stress value not higher than 30% and the change rate less than 1% is the shortest time, recorded as t3 = 13.5h.

[0043] The tempering and holding time of the optimized support roller in this embodiment is recorded as t, t=t1+max(t2, t3)=27h+max(11h, 13.5h)=40.5h.

[0044] After the implementation of this embodiment, according to "GB / T 13313-2008 Roller Shore and Leeb Hardness Test Method" and "GB / T7704-2017 Nondestructive Testing X-ray Stress Measurement Method", the roller body hardness of the product surface is measured to be 66~70Hs, and the surface residual stress measured by X-ray method is -400~-480MPa, which meets the technical requirements.

[0045] The tempering time of the support rollers in Examples 1 and 2 is 60 hours based on experience, supplemented by partial physical experiments and simulation calculations, while the tempering time of Example 1 is 39.9 hours and the tempering time of Example 2 is 40.5 hours, both of which are significantly shorter than the traditional method.
