AI Technical Summary
In the production of artificial boards, the inner holes of the roller rods are severely worn due to long-term stress and friction, which causes the roller rods to lose their working ability and need to be replaced frequently, resulting in economic losses and low production efficiency.
A heat treatment process is used, including quenching and tempering steps. First, the surface temperature of the roller rod is reduced to 1000~1100°C by high-frequency induction heating, and then spray cooling is used to use polyethylene glycol aqueous solution as a quenching medium, followed by back-tempering treatment, and the temperature is raised to 400~500°C to improve the hardness of the inner pores.
It significantly improves the hardness of the inner holes of the roller, extends the service life of the roller, reduces the economic loss due to wear and scrapping, and improves the efficiency and continuity of artificial board production.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of heat treatment processes, and in particular to a heat treatment process for improving the hardness of an inner hole of a roller rod. Background Art
[0002] In the field of wood-based panel production, the double steel belt continuous flat press plays a vital role. The press is mainly composed of the upper part of the press, the lower part of the press, and the continuous circulating steel belt and roller chain that surround the upper part and the lower part of the press respectively. Among them, the chain drives the roller to run continuously with the help of the needle to ensure the smooth progress of the entire pressing process.
[0003] With the long-term operation of artificial board production, the wear problem of the inner hole of the roller rod is becoming more and more serious. Since the roller rod is always under stress during the working process and frequently rubs against the threading needle, its inner hole is constantly subjected to the test of wear. Once the inner hole is seriously worn, it will directly cause the entire roller rod to lose its normal working ability and have to face scrapping. For a standard 31.9-meter-long press, the number of roller rods required to be installed is nearly 7,000, and the procurement cost of the roller rod is high, with a total price of about 1.5 million yuan. Such a large-scale roller rod configuration, if frequently scrapped due to inner hole wear, will not only cause huge economic losses, but also seriously affect the production efficiency and continuity of artificial boards. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a heat treatment process that can improve the hardness of the inner hole of the roller rod. Summary of the invention
[0004] The invention proposes a heat treatment process for improving the hardness of the inner hole of a roller rod, thereby solving the problem of low hardness of the inner hole of the roller rod in the related art.
[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: The present invention proposes a heat treatment process for improving the hardness of the inner hole of a roller rod, comprising the following steps: S1. Quenching: The roller rod is induction heated and then quenched to obtain a hardened roller rod; S2, tempering: the hardened roller rod is heated to 400~500℃ for heating treatment to obtain a roller rod with high inner hole hardness; The induction heating is performed twice, and the frequency of the first induction heating is different from the frequency of the second induction heating.
[0006] As a further technical solution, the frequency of the first induction heating is greater than the frequency of the second induction heating, the frequency of the first induction heating is 300 kHz, and the frequency of the second induction heating is 200 kHz.
[0007] As a further technical solution, the time of the first induction heating is 3 seconds, the time of the second induction heating is 1 second, and the power of the first induction heating and the second induction heating are both 90-120 kW.
[0008] As a further technical solution, the heating rate in S2 is 5-10°C / min, and the heating treatment time is 1-3h.
[0009] As a further technical solution, the quenching cooling described in S1 includes the following steps: after the induction heating is completed, after the surface temperature of the roller rod drops to 1000~1100℃, the roller rod is cooled by spraying a quenching medium to obtain a hardened roller rod after cooling.
[0010] As a further technical solution, the quenching medium is a polyethylene glycol aqueous solution, the solute of the polyethylene glycol aqueous solution consists of a first polyethylene glycol and a second polyethylene glycol, and the first polyethylene glycol and the second polyethylene glycol have different hydroxyl values.
[0011] As a further technical solution, the hydroxyl value of the first polyethylene glycol is 255-312 mgKOH / g, the hydroxyl value of the second polyethylene glycol is 102-125 mgKOH / g, and the mass ratio of the first polyethylene glycol to the second polyethylene glycol is 2-3:1.
[0012] In the present invention, polyethylene glycol with different hydroxyl values is used as the solute of the quenching medium to exert the synergistic effect of the two. By adjusting the mass ratio of the two, the cooling rate of quenching is coordinated, the hardness difference caused by uneven cooling is reduced, and the hardness of the inner hole of the roller rod is further improved.
[0013] As a further technical solution, the concentration of the polyethylene glycol aqueous solution is 15wt%~25wt%.
[0014] As a further technical solution, the temperature of the quenching medium is 30-60°C, the injection time is 6-8s, and the injection flow density is 10L / (m 2 ·s).
[0015] As a further technical solution, the material of the roller rod is GCr15.
[0016] As a further technical solution, the outer diameter of the roller rod is 20 mm, the inner hole diameter is 9 mm, the hole depth is 110 mm, the inner hole quenching area is 30 mm away from the rod end, and the quenching depth is 1 mm.
[0017] The working principle and beneficial effects of the present invention are: In the present invention, the roller rod is subjected to a heat treatment process of quenching and tempering in sequence. During the quenching process, two high-frequency quenching processes with different frequencies are carried out. The first high-frequency quenching enables the roller rod surface to complete a preliminary structural transformation in a short time, ensuring that the surface layer is heated quickly and evenly. The second high-frequency quenching further refines the grains and improves the hardness of the inner hole of the roller rod. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
