Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of steel making, and in particular to a steel for wear-resistant parts with a narrow hardenability band and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Track shoes are load-bearing parts of engineering machinery and equipment. They are consumable parts that need to withstand high gravity and work for a long time under various road conditions. They require high wear resistance, impact resistance and high fatigue performance. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop high wear-resistant track shoes.

[0003] Narrow hardenability refers to the ability of a material to achieve good hardness and toughness within a smaller temperature range under specific quenching conditions. This type of steel usually needs to contain specific alloying elements (such as chromium, manganese, nickel, etc.) to improve its hardenability and hardness distribution. The design of a narrow hardenability bandwidth can effectively control the depth of the hardened layer, so that the wear-resistant parts can maintain an appropriate balance between hardness and toughness during operation, reduce deformation of parts during heat treatment, reduce material processing losses, improve production efficiency and reduce production costs. Therefore, the development of track plates using narrow hardenability bandwidth wear-resistant steel can help improve the hardness and wear resistance of the track plates, maintain good toughness, effectively reduce wear in complex terrain and harsh environments, enable the track plates to withstand impacts and loads without breaking easily, adapt to high-intensity working conditions, and improve the overall strength and stability of the track plates, avoid local failures caused by uneven hardness, and thus extend the service life of the track plates.

[0004] Since narrow hardenability band wear-resistant parts have many advantages, the development of narrow hardenability steel has become one of the research hotspots in the steelmaking field. For example, the invention patent with application number CN201710170241.4 discloses a high-temperature carburized gear steel with fine grains and narrow hardenability band; the invention patent with application number CN202010840171.0 discloses a narrow hardenability gear steel and its preparation method; the invention patent with application number CN202110124348.1 discloses a narrow hardenability gear steel and its manufacturing method; the invention patent with application number CN202210150890.9 discloses a method for controlling the boron content of narrow hardenability gear steel; the invention patent with application number CN202210016139.X discloses a narrow hardenability band high-temperature carburized MnCr gear steel and its manufacturing method.

[0005] Based on the above, in order to enrich the models and types of narrow hardenability wide bandwidth steels and meet different steel needs, the present invention realizes the development of 4HRC narrow hardenability track plate steel by reasonably adjusting the amount of different components and optimizing the steelmaking process. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to propose a steel for wear-resistant parts with narrow hardenability and bandwidth and a preparation method thereof, the hardenability of the material is improved by increasing the Mn and Cr contents, while increasing the material strength and wear resistance, the deoxidation strength is guaranteed and the grains are refined by adding Al and Ti, the low-temperature impact toughness of the material is improved, a narrow range design is adopted in the composition, low superheat, electromagnetic stirring and secondary cooling water control are adopted in casting to reduce the segregation of the billet composition, a reasonable four-stage heating system is adopted in rolling to ensure uniform heating of the billet and reduce the influence of segregation, and slow cooling is adopted for round steel to ensure uniform organization, and finally, the development of 4HRC narrow hardenability track plate steel is realized.

[0007] Based on the above purpose, the present invention provides a steel for wear-resistant parts with narrow hardenability and wide band, comprising the following components in mass percentage: C: 0.32~0.35%, Si: 0.20~0.40%, Mn: 1.30~1.50%, Cr: 0.25~0.40%, Mo: ≤0.05%, Ni: ≤0.10%, P: ≤0.020%, S: ≤0.020%, Ti: 0.020~0.040%, B: 0.015~0.030%, Al: 0.030~0.040%, and the balance is Fe and unavoidable impurities.

[0008] Furthermore, the steel for narrow hardenability and wide wear-resistant parts comprises the following components in mass percentage: C: 0.33%, Si: 0.25%, Mn: 1.35%, Cr: 0.28%, Mo: 0.02%, Ni: 0.04%, P: 0.011%, S: 0.004%, Ti: 0.030%, B: 0.025%, Al: 0.035%, and the balance is Fe and unavoidable impurities.

[0009] Furthermore, the steel for narrow hardenability and wide wear-resistant parts comprises the following components in mass percentage: C: 0.34%, Si: 0.30%, Mn: 1.40%, Cr: 0.38%, Mo: 0.02%, Ni: 0.04%, P: 0.009%, S: 0.005%, Ti: 0.025%, B: 0.026%, Al: 0.035%, and the balance is Fe and unavoidable impurities.

[0010] Furthermore, the steel for narrow hardenability and wide wear-resistant parts comprises the following components in mass percentage: C: 0.34%, Si: 0.28%, Mn: 1.45%, Cr: 0.35%, Mo: 0.01%, Ni: 0.02%, P: 0.013%, S: 0.005%, Ti: 0.032%, B: 0.028%, Al: 0.030%, and the balance is Fe and unavoidable impurities.

[0011] The present invention further provides a method for preparing the narrow hardenability and wide band wear-resistant steel, comprising converter smelting, LF refining, vacuum treatment, continuous casting, hot rolling, slow cooling and finishing processes, specifically comprising the following steps: S1: Converter smelting: Add high-quality molten iron and pure scrap steel to the converter, use top blowing oxygen and carbon powder injection, stably control the end point carbon and end point temperature, maintain foam slag operation throughout the process to prevent overoxidation of molten steel and reduce the pressure of later deoxidation. Use the double-blocking mode of slag blocking balls and slide blocks to prevent slag from falling during steel tapping, control the steel tapping end point [C]: 0.12-20%, steel tapping [P] ≤ 0.010%, steel tapping temperature ≥ 1600℃, and the remaining residual elements are controlled below the standard requirements; and add 120kg of aluminum blocks during the steel tapping process for precipitation deoxidation, and add 750kg of lime, 350kg of cleaning agent, high carbon ferromanganese, and ferrosilicon alloy for preliminary alloying; S2: LF refining: After the ladle enters the station, the LF furnace is heated up, slag making and alloy fine-tuning operations are carried out, and diffusion deoxidation is used during the refining process; S3: RH vacuum treatment: The vacuum degree of the RH vacuum process is lower than 67Pa, and the holding time is ≥10min, so as to achieve effective dehydrogenation of molten steel. After breaking the air, aluminum wire is fed to adjust the [Al] content in the molten steel to 0.030~0.040%, and then titanium iron wire and boron wire are fed with this wire. Argon is blown from the bottom of the ladle double-permeable bricks, and the soft blowing time is ≥20min to ensure that non-metallic inclusions in the molten steel fully float up, avoid secondary pollution of the molten steel caused by wire feeding and nitrogen addition, and improve the purity of the molten steel; S4: Continuous casting: The continuous casting machine used is R10m arc-shaped with high static pressure, which is conducive to solidification and shrinkage compensation. To ensure the internal quality of the ingot, a low superheat of 18~28℃ is used for full-process protection casting, including argon protection of the long water nozzle, integral immersion long water nozzle, special covering agent for the tundish, etc., to achieve protection casting and prevent secondary oxidation of molten steel. At the same time, the casting process adopts two-stage electromagnetic stirring (M-EMS+F-EMS), which can adjust the solidification structure according to needs, effectively control the crystal structure of the ingot, effectively improve the looseness and segregation of the billet, improve the low density of the ingot, reduce the internal defects of the ingot, control the casting section to 240mm×240mm, and the pulling speed to 1.10~1.15m / min. Then, a light reduction process is used to further improve segregation and billet quality, and multi-point straightening is used to ensure the surface quality and size of the billet. The final finished billet is 220mm×240mm. S5: Hot rolling: The billet is heated by a four-stage heating method of "preheating section + heating section 1 + heating section 2 + soaking section" to prevent the billet from heating up too fast and causing stress cracks. The billet is then continuously rolled by a continuous rolling unit and then rolled by a kocks rolling mill to ensure the size accuracy of the round steel. S6: Slow cooling and finishing: In order to reduce the hardness of the finished round steel, the round steel is sheared at high temperature, quickly collected, and piled up to cool in the wind. It is placed in an enclosure surrounded by hot steel and finished after the temperature of the round steel cools down.

[0012] Furthermore, the mass ratio of the high-quality molten iron to the pure scrap steel is (85-90):(10-15).

[0013] Furthermore, the specific process of LF refining is as follows: After the ladle enters the station, the LF furnace is heated and protected by a water-cooled inert gas furnace cover to reduce secondary oxidation of the molten steel. In the early and middle stages of refining, calcium carbide, aluminum beans and silicon carbide are used as the main materials, and composite silicon carbide and ferrosilicon powder are used as auxiliary materials for diffusion deoxidation. The initial aluminum content reaches 0.020~0.035%; White slag is produced quickly after molten steel enters the station. In the middle and late stages of refining, diffusion deoxidizer is added in small quantities and batches to maintain a reducing atmosphere. The white slag retention time is ≥20 minutes, and the smelting time is ≥40 minutes. By producing foamy white slag, inclusions in the steel are effectively adsorbed to ensure the purity of the molten steel.

[0014] Furthermore, the four-stage heating method of "preheating stage + heating stage 1 + heating stage 2 + soaking stage" is: Preheating stage: <650℃, time ≥0.5h; Heating stage 1: 880~1100℃, rapid heating; Heating 2 stages 1100~1150℃; The soaking section is 1100~1150℃, and the soaking time is ≥0.5h; Total heating time ≥ 2h.

[0015] The present invention further provides application of the narrow hardenability belt width wear-resistant steel in the preparation of track shoes.

[0016] Beneficial effects of the present invention: The present invention produces Φ50~80mm narrow hardenability belt width round steel for wear-resistant parts through the process of "converter smelting → LF refining → vacuum treatment → continuous casting → hot rolling → finishing", which can meet the material purity and hardenability requirements, and the hardness bandwidth at J8 / J11mm is controlled within 4HRC, which meets the standard requirements for engineering machinery track plate steel. Specifically, product development is mainly achieved through the following methods: The hardenability of the material is improved by increasing the Mn and Cr content, while the strength and wear resistance of the material are increased. The deoxidation strength is guaranteed, the grains are refined, and the low-temperature impact toughness of the material is improved by adding Al and Ti. A narrow range design is adopted in the composition, and low superheat, electromagnetic stirring, and secondary cooling water control are used in casting to reduce the segregation of billet composition. A reasonable four-stage heating system is used in rolling to ensure uniform heating of the billet and reduce the influence of segregation. Slow cooling is used for round steel to ensure uniform structure. Finally, the development of 4HRC narrow hardenability track plate steel was realized.

[0017] On the one hand, the hardenability, material strength and wear resistance of the material are guaranteed by the content of Mn, Cr and B, and the deoxidation strength and effective B content are guaranteed by adding Al and Ti, and the grains are further refined to improve the low-temperature impact toughness of the material. On the other hand, narrow composition design, low superheat, electromagnetic stirring, light pressing and other measures are adopted to ensure the uniformity of the billet composition and the stability of the material properties, and to ensure small composition segregation and narrow hardenability bandwidth.
