Abstract

The present invention relates to the technical field of stainless steel preparation, and in particular to a high-strength stainless steel casting and a preparation process thereof. In order to improve the strength and corrosion resistance of the stainless steel casting, the present invention limits the content of each component of the blank and increases the amount of chromium added thereto when preparing the stainless steel casting. Subsequently, iron and chromium elements are melted to prepare high-chromium alloy powder, and a transition coating is clad on the surface of the stainless steel blank using the high-chromium alloy powder as the main material. The iron-chromium ratio in the transition coating is 7:(2-4), which is slightly higher than the iron-chromium ratio in the stainless steel blank. The transition coating can effectively alleviate the stress caused by the large component gap between the wear-resistant coating and the stainless steel blank. In addition, the higher chromium element can effectively improve the stability of TiC and WC carbides, prevent the decomposition of carbides, and inhibit the graphitization tendency of carbon, thereby maintaining the stability and hardness of the coating and improving the corrosion resistance of the material coating.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of stainless steel preparation, in particular to a high-strength stainless steel casting and a preparation process thereof. Background Art

[0002] Stainless steel castings are a type of stainless steel product made using a casting process. They have good corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, strength and toughness, and can be widely used in the automotive, aviation, chemical, medical and other fields.

[0003] Although stainless steel castings have stronger corrosion resistance than general iron products and can withstand most application scenarios, under special conditions, such as acid, alkali and salt spray environments, stainless steel products will still suffer from corrosion and wear, causing the strength of stainless steel castings to decrease, affecting service life and production safety. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a high-strength stainless steel casting and a preparation process thereof to solve the problems raised in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a high-strength stainless steel casting having the following technical features: the high-strength stainless steel casting is composed of a stainless steel blank and a wear-resistant ceramic coating coated on the surface of the stainless steel blank;

[0006] The stainless steel blank comprises, by weight percentage, 11.4-15.6% chromium, 1.1-2.4% nickel, 1-3% molybdenum, 0.8-1.2% manganese, 0.8-1.2% rhenium, 0.2-0.8% tin, 0.4-0.6% aluminum, 0.05-0.089% cerium, and the balance is iron.

[0007] Furthermore, the wear-resistant ceramic coating has a thickness of 30-120 μm;

[0008] The wear-resistant ceramic coating consists of a transition coating and an outer wear-resistant coating;

[0009] Wherein, the thickness ratio of the transition coating to the wear-resistant coating is (1-2):1.

[0010] Furthermore, a method for preparing a high-strength stainless steel casting comprises the following steps:

[0011] S1. Preparation of stainless steel blank;

[0012] S11. The raw materials of chromium, nickel, molybdenum, manganese, rhenium, tin, aluminum, cerium, and iron were added to a ball mill, and after ball milling and sieving, a metal powder raw material having a particle size of 30-100μm was obtained;

[0013] S12. Iron powder, nickel powder, chromium powder, and manganese powder were mixed in appropriate proportions, heated to 1550-1620°C, and melted into a stainless steel ingot. The mixture was then evacuated and heated again to 1550-1650°C. The ingot was refined for 5-10 minutes under an argon atmosphere. The remaining raw material powders were added, melted and mixed until uniform, and the molten metal was cast into a mold. After cooling to room temperature, the surface of the resulting casting was polished with 200-800 grit sandpaper and then cleaned with anhydrous ethanol to obtain a stainless steel ingot.

[0014] S2. Preparation of wear-resistant ceramic coating;

[0015] S21. Iron and chromium raw materials are ball-milled to 30-80 μm. The mixture is then mixed in a ratio of 7:(2-4). The mixture is heated to 1580-1600°C, melted, spray-granulated, and sieved to obtain a high-chromium alloy powder.

[0016] S22. The high chromium alloy powder prepared in step S21 is placed in a powder feeding device, and the powder is laser clad on the surface of the stainless steel blank to obtain a transition coating;

[0017] S23. Nano-TiC, nano-WC and high chromium alloy powders were mixed and ball-milled for 60-90 min. The resulting mixed powder was dried and insulated for 12-24 h. The mixed powder was placed in a powder feeding device. When the powder was fed, the surface of the stainless steel blank was laser clad. After the laser cladding was completed, a wear-resistant coating was obtained.

[0018] S3. In an argon atmosphere, the stainless steel blank with the wear-resistant ceramic coating is heated to 450-550° C., kept at this temperature for 25-40 minutes, and then cooled to room temperature to obtain the high-strength stainless steel casting.

[0019] Furthermore, in step S21, the mass ratio of iron to chromium in the high chromium alloy powder is 7:(2-4).

[0020] Furthermore, in step S21, the particle size of the high chromium alloy powder is 2-6 μm.

[0021] Furthermore, in step S22, during laser cladding, the laser spot diameter is 2-4 mm, the laser cladding power is 800-1000 W, and the spot speed is 300-400 mm / min.

[0022] Furthermore, in step S23, in the mixed powder, the mass ratio of the nano-TiC, nano-WC and high chromium alloy powder is (2-3): (0.5-1): (9-12).

[0023] Furthermore, in step S23, during laser cladding, the laser spot diameter is 2-4 mm, the laser cladding power is 1200-1400 W, and the spot speed is 150-300 mm / min.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] In order to improve the strength of stainless steel castings, the present invention limits the content of each component when preparing the stainless steel casting body, and increases the amount of chromium added therein, making it the most abundant metal element in the stainless steel body after iron, thereby improving the bonding between the stainless steel body and the transition coating during the subsequent coating preparation process;

[0026] Furthermore, the present invention adds cerium in the process of preparing the stainless steel blank. The introduction of cerium can effectively improve the stability of the austenite phase in the stainless steel, avoid the brittle phase transformation of the stainless steel blank at high or low temperatures, and thus avoid the occurrence of strength defects in the stainless steel blank during the casting process.

[0027] On this basis, the present invention further prepares a transition coating and a wear-resistant coating on the surface of the stainless steel blank respectively; in the process of preparing the transition coating, the present invention uses iron and chromium elements to melt to prepare high-chromium alloy powder, and uses this as the main material to clad a layer of transition coating on the surface of the stainless steel blank. The iron-chromium ratio in the transition coating is 7: (2-4), which is slightly higher than the iron-chromium ratio in the stainless steel blank, and can effectively alleviate the stress caused by the large component gap between the wear-resistant coating and the stainless steel blank. In addition, when preparing the wear-resistant coating, the present invention still uses high-chromium alloy powder as the main material, wherein the higher chromium element can effectively improve the stability of TiC and WC carbides, prevent the decomposition of carbides, and inhibit the graphitization tendency of carbon elements, thereby maintaining the stability and hardness of the coating and improving the corrosion resistance of the material coating.
