Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of induction heat treatment technology, and in particular relates to a double-rib induction quenching process for a steel track shoe. Background Art
[0002] The crawler walking mechanism has significant advantages such as low ground contact pressure, good adhesion performance, high traction efficiency, simple structure and convenient control. The crawler transmits the traction, adhesion and braking force of the ground to the vehicle body, providing a continuous rolling track for the road wheels, greatly improving the maneuverability and passability of the vehicle on soft and rugged ground. The track shoe is a key component for the operating machinery to contact the ground. It plays a role in transmitting the interaction force and torque between the machinery and the ground. Its structural form directly affects the traction capacity. The track shoe is in direct contact with the road surface during operation, bearing the weight of the entire machine, traction and friction with the road surface, and is subjected to complex stresses such as impact, stretching, extrusion and bending. It is very easy to cause excessive wear, deformation and failure during use. Therefore, the substrate of the track shoe is required to have good strength and toughness, and the ground ribs are required to have high wear resistance.
[0003] The commonly used materials for cast track plates are high manganese steels such as ZGMn13. Through water toughening treatment, high manganese steel can obtain a single austenite structure, and its surface structure is easy to undergo phase transformation to form martensite under strong impact or extrusion force, so that high manganese steel has good core plastic toughness, low crack extension and surface wear resistance. The commonly used materials for forged track plates are medium and low carbon alloy steels such as 20CrMnSiNi2A, 30SiMnMoVTi, 42CrMoA, etc. The strengthening method of low carbon alloy steel track plates such as 20CrMnSiNi2A is overall quenching + low temperature tempering, and the strengthening method of medium carbon alloy steel track plates such as 30SiMnMoVTi, 42CrMoA is overall quenching + medium and high temperature tempering + local induction heat treatment. Low-carbon alloy steel track shoes have a low carbon content and a hardness of about 45HRC after quenching and low-temperature tempering. They have poor wear resistance on gravel roads and are not suitable for harsh road conditions. Medium-carbon alloy steel track shoes can be made into a medium hardness range with good strength and toughness through the adjustment of the heat treatment system. The ground reinforcement has high wear resistance, making them the best choice for heavy loads and harsh road conditions.
[0004] For medium-carbon alloy steel track plates used in heavy loads and harsh road conditions, the ground bars are usually designed with a staggered distribution structure of long and short arc bars to improve the grip effect. At the same time, in order to increase the service life and quality stability of the track plates, the depth of the ground bar hardening layer must be controlled within a reasonable range. A certain type of 42CrMo(Nb)A steel track plate requires a ground bar hardening layer depth of 8~10mm and a hardness of ≥55HRC. To achieve this requirement, a single bar scanning induction quenching method is usually used. This method can better ensure the hardening layer depth, but the production efficiency is low. Due to the inconsistent shape and structure of the ground bars, it is difficult to achieve the above technical requirements with double bar induction quenching. Summary of the invention
[0005] In order to solve the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a double-rib induction quenching process for steel track plates, which is simple to operate, has high processing efficiency, can reduce production costs, is beneficial to reducing heat diffusion when heating the ground bars, can reduce the thermal deformation of the transition zone between the ground bars and the substrate and the pin shaft hole, and has good consistency in the depth of the hardened layer.

[0038] The present invention is used for 42CrMoNbA steel one-piece 8-rib track plate (its structure is as follows Figure 6 When quenching the ground reinforcement (as shown in the figure), the specific operations are as follows: Step 1: Install the positioning device on the machine tool workbench, insert the round pin and the prismatic pin into the two pin holes of the machined 42CrMoNbA steel one-piece track shoe to fix it. Before fixing, the track shoe is quenched and tempered before clamping, and the hardness of the track shoe is 30~40HRC. The ground ribs of the track shoe have been milled flat before quenching, and the surface is at the same distance from the magnetizer during induction quenching.
[0039] When the track shoe is fixed, the surface of the track with the ground ribs is set vertically; the medium frequency sensor is connected to the moving parts of the machine tool so that the medium frequency sensor can move, and the magnetizer 3 of the medium frequency sensor is facing the surface of the track with the ground ribs; and the magnetizer and the water sprayer can completely cover the width of the ground ribs.

This step is only for the first piece of the same machining batch, and there is no need to perform this step later.
[0041] Step 3: Divide the track plate grounding bar into 4 sections; when dividing the sections, divide the two grounding bars that can be processed at the same time into a group, and divide the bottom end to the top end of the group into a section. And name the track plate grounding bar sections from bottom to top as the first grounding bar, the second grounding bar, the third grounding bar and the fourth grounding bar; turn on the sprinkler 4 to spray, raise the medium frequency sensor position to the sprinkler to spray the pin shaft hole in the middle section of the track plate, stay for 1 second, and then move to the bottom of the track plate at a constant speed, so that the surface of the track plate grounding bar and the pin shaft hole are both in a wet state.
[0042] Step 4: Start heating from the bottom of the ground rib. The starting heating position of the medium frequency sensor is the bottom surface of the magnet below a group of magnets in the concave section. After fixed heating for 4 seconds, scan and heat upward at a speed of 330mm / min. After the first section of ribs is fully heated, stop heating immediately and quickly raise the medium frequency sensor 35mm so that the spray liquid can completely cover the heated ground ribs on both sides.

The spraying time is 8S.

After staying for 1 second, move the intermediate frequency sensor to the bottom of the track shoe at a uniform speed so that the surface of the track shoe's ground ribs and the pin shaft hole are both in a wet state.
[0045] Step 7: Move the medium frequency sensor until the lowest magnetic conductor is 15mm higher than the upper end of the second section of the ground rib. After fixed heating for 4 seconds, scan and heat upward at a speed of 330mm / min. After the third section of the ground rib is fully heated, stop heating immediately and quickly raise the medium frequency sensor 35mm so that the spray liquid can completely cover the heated ground ribs on both sides. The spray time is 8S.

After staying for 1 second, move downward at a uniform speed until the lowest magnetic conductor is 15mm higher than the upper end of the third section of the grounding bar (the magnetic conductor does not sense the third section of the grounding bar). After fixed heating for 4 seconds, scan and heat upward at a speed of 330mm / min. After the fourth section of the grounding bar is fully heated, stop heating immediately and quickly lift the intermediate frequency sensor 35mm so that the spray liquid can completely cover the heated grounding bars on both sides.

This step is only for the first piece in the same machining batch, and there is no need to perform this step later.
[0051] Step 3: Divide the track plate grounding bar into 2 sections; and name the sections of the track plate grounding bar as the first section and the second section from bottom to top; start the sprinkler 4 to spray, raise the position of the medium frequency sensor until the sprinkler can spray the pin shaft hole on the upper end surface of the track plate, stay for 1 second and then move to the bottom of the track plate at a uniform speed, so that the surface of the track plate grounding bar and the pin shaft hole are both in a wet state.
