Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of wear-resistant cast steel and heat treatment thereof, and specifically relates to high-strength and toughness wear-resistant high manganese steel and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] High manganese steel is one of the oldest wear-resistant materials. Its structure in use is austenite, with good toughness and low hardness. However, under strong impact conditions, the surface hardness of high manganese steel can be increased from the initial 200HB to more than 500HB, thus showing good wear resistance. The characteristics of high manganese steel being hard on the outside and tough on the inside under medium and high stress impact abrasive wear conditions make it widely used as parts such as jaw plates of large jaw crushers, crushing walls and mortar walls of large cone crushers. However, high manganese steel has low yield strength and is easy to deform during initial loading, making subsequent maintenance and disassembly difficult. The increase in the strength of metal materials is often accompanied by a decrease in toughness. How to significantly improve the yield strength of high manganese steel while still having high toughness and wear resistance is a difficult problem that needs to be solved in the field of steel wear-resistant materials.

[0003] Chinese patent CN118326288A discloses a wear-resistant high manganese steel lining material and its preparation method. The deformation resistance of high manganese steel is improved by adding appropriate amounts of alloying elements such as Mo, W, and V. Mo, W, and V mainly exist in the form of precipitated phases, that is, the yield strength of the material is improved by utilizing the dispersion strengthening effect of the precipitated phases. However, in order to avoid the precipitation of precipitated phases at the grain boundaries or excessive size causing a significant decrease in impact toughness, it is necessary to keep the temperature at 260℃-450℃ for 5-8 hours, which significantly increases the production cost of high manganese steel.

[0004] Chinese patent CN118272735A discloses a Fe-Mn-Cr-CN high manganese steel and a preparation method thereof. By introducing the interstitial solid solution strengthening element N, appropriately extending the holding time of the steel ingot, and increasing the final forging temperature, a high manganese steel with a yield strength of 520MPa and a U-notch impact energy of 377J can be obtained without aging treatment. However, the composition of Fe-Mn-Cr-CN high manganese steel contains up to 7wt% Cr. In addition, its preparation process involves vacuum melting and high temperature forging. Therefore, the production difficulty and production cost of Fe-Mn-Cr-CN high manganese steel are relatively high, which is not conducive to the promotion of practical engineering applications.

[0005] Chinese patent CN110468343B discloses a TiC precipitation reinforced high manganese steel-based composite material and its preparation process. The high hardness of TiC makes the yield strength of the high manganese steel-based composite material reach 400-530MPa. However, excessive TiC splits the austenite matrix, resulting in a V-notch impact energy of the high manganese steel-based composite material of 13-49J. The low toughness makes the TiC precipitation reinforced high manganese steel-based composite material only suitable for the preparation of wear-resistant parts under low impact conditions.

[0006] Chinese patent CN108262465B discloses a method for manufacturing a wear-resistant impact crusher hammer. High manganese steel is used as the substrate, and multiple hard alloy points are set on the working surface of the hammer to improve the deformation resistance and wear resistance of the entire component. However, the addition of alloy columns will cause a sharp increase in the production cost of the component. In addition, in order to ensure that the alloy column does not explode during the rapid cooling of the hammer body, it is necessary to optimize the size and distribution of the alloy column, and the complex production process further increases the production cost.

[0007] Therefore, the present invention is proposed to solve the contradiction between the strength (yield strength) and toughness matching of existing high manganese steel materials and the production cost under high stress impact abrasive wear conditions. Summary of the invention

[0091] Examples and Comparative Examples Material Performance Tests

[0092] Experimental method: The performance of high manganese steel prepared in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 was tested. Among them, the yield strength detection method refers to GB / T228.1, and the U-notch impact absorption energy detection method refers to GB / T229. The impact abrasive wear test was carried out on an MLD-10 dynamic load abrasive wear testing machine. The wear impact energy is 3.0J, the impact frequency is 100 times per minute, the lower sample is 45# steel, the rotation speed is 100 revolutions per minute, the abrasive tested is quartz sand with a particle size between 60 and 80 meshes, and the flow rate of the abrasive is controlled at about 50kg per hour. Each group of samples needs to be pre-grinded for 30 minutes before the test. During the impact wear process, the weight loss is weighed once with 30 minutes as a wear cycle, and a total of five cycles are carried out, totaling 2.5 hours. The test results are listed in Table 1.

[0093] Table 1 Performance test results

[0094]

[0095] The yield strength, U-notch impact absorption energy and abrasion weight loss in Table 1 are the average values ​​of three values.

[0096] It can be concluded from Table 1 that the yield strength of the high manganese steel prepared by the present invention is 415.2-512.3MPa, and the U-notch impact absorption energy can reach 100.2-122.3J, showing excellent deformation resistance and wear resistance. Under similar components and the same process, the yield strength of Example 3 (containing Zr) is increased by about 20.7% (81.3MPa) compared with Comparative Example 1 (without Zr), and its U-notch impact absorption energy is still as high as 112.6J, which is about 14.1% (14J) higher than Comparative Example 1 (without Zr). The corresponding wear weight loss of Example 3 (containing Zr) is reduced by 19.3% (90.7mg) compared with Comparative Example 1.

[0097] The obvious difference between the present invention and the existing wear-resistant high manganese steel is that it contains an appropriate amount of Zr. By optimizing the ratio of Zr and C elements (3×10 -6 ≤[Zr][C]wt%≤20×10 -6 ), water-toughening heat treatment process, to obtain a complex phase structure with fine grains and micro / nano-sized Zr(C,N) hard phases evenly distributed on the austenite matrix. Zr(C,N) as a heterogeneous phase can promote the nucleation of γ-Fe during solidification, and its high melting point can also inhibit the growth of grains during water-toughening treatment, thereby obtaining fine grains. Grain refinement can simultaneously improve the yield strength and impact toughness of the material. In addition, dispersed Zr(C,N) can inhibit dislocation movement, improve the yield strength of the material, and weaken the micro-cutting behavior of the abrasive. However, a low Zr content or [Zr][C]wt% value makes it difficult to form a sufficient amount of Zr(C,N) phase, resulting in a weak heterogeneous nucleation effect. Excessively high Zr content or [Zr][C]wt% value, as shown in Comparative Example 2 in Table 1, will promote the formation of a larger-sized Zr(C,N) phase, severely split the matrix, and cause the toughness of the material to drop sharply.

[0098] The present invention has been optimized in composition design, combined with appropriate casting process and water-tough heat treatment process, and utilizes grain refinement superimposed on the dispersion strengthening of the precipitated phase. While the yield strength of high manganese steel is significantly improved, the organization still exhibits high toughness, overcoming the contradiction between the existing metal material strength (yield strength) toughness matching and production cost under medium and high stress impact abrasive wear conditions. Zr-containing high manganese steel with both high yield strength and good impact toughness exhibits better wear resistance than traditional Zr-free high manganese steel in medium and high impact abrasive wear tests, and is particularly suitable for manufacturing wear-resistant parts under medium and high stress impact abrasive wear conditions such as medium and large ball mill liners, crushing walls of cone crushers and rolling mill walls.

[0099] The above embodiments are preferred implementation modes of the present invention, but the implementation modes of the present invention are not limited to the above embodiments. Any other changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, and simplifications that do not deviate from the spirit and principles of the present invention should be equivalent replacement methods and are included in the protection scope of the present invention.
