Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of material heat treatment technology, in particular to an online heat treatment technology for improving the uniformity of the structure of a 20CrMoH slider blank. Background Art

[0002] 20CrMoH steel is often used to manufacture gears, shafts, and slider parts. The surface is subjected to severe friction during service, so it must have excellent comprehensive mechanical properties and surface wear resistance. It is often forged and then heat treated to obtain excellent comprehensive mechanical properties.

[0003] Since the addition of Cr element to 20CrMoH steel increases the hardenability, the cooling rate during heat treatment becomes the key point of process control. It should not be too fast, which will easily produce bainite structure, nor too slow, which will easily produce banded structure. In order to make the structure after heat treatment more uniform, without serious banded structure, and to save energy and reduce production costs, a new heat treatment process is needed.

[0004] Chinese patent publication number CN102605147A discloses a method of using the residual heat of forgings after forging for normalizing heat treatment. The invention application controls the forging deformation and the termination forging temperature of the last fire of the forging during the forging process, so that the final forging temperature of the forging is 20-30°C higher than the final forging temperature of the material, and then quickly cools to 650-700°C in the air, and then sends it to the heat treatment furnace to evenly heat the forging until the temperature inside and outside the forging is the same, and then heats to 60-50°C or higher than Ac3 or Acm of the material, and after the insulation reaches complete austenitization, it is cooled to room temperature at a certain cooling rate after being taken out of the furnace. In this method, the parts are quickly cooled to 650-700°C in the air after forging, and no phase transition from austenite to low-temperature structure occurs, which is not conducive to the homogenization of the structure. In addition, the cooling method after normalizing in this method is very easy to obtain a bainite structure with high hardness, which is not conducive to subsequent cutting processing and affects the cutting accuracy.

[0005] In the article "Effect of Isothermal Normalizing on the Cutting Performance of 20CrMo Steel" published by Yu Yingjie and other scholars, the heat treatment results in the isothermal temperature range of 500-630℃ were elaborated in detail. Although there is no bainite structure in the microstructure and the hardness is 172-174HB, the banding grade is relatively high, and isothermal normalizing directly after forging is prone to uneven structure.

[0006] The article "Improvement and Analysis of the Pre-heat Treatment Process of 20CrMo Steel" published by scholar Zhao Meihui uses stress relief annealing instead of isothermal annealing for pre-heat treatment of the steel after forging, which reduces the time of pre-heat treatment; however, this will reduce the service life of some tools during the cutting process.

[0007] The article "Elimination of banded structure in 20CrMoH steel forgings and control of its hardness" published by scholar Jie Pingkou disclosed that the banded structure in 20CrMoH steel forgings can be eliminated by isothermal annealing. It is necessary to effectively control the air cooling parameters such as the air temperature and air cooling time of the cold air process during the isothermal annealing process, and consider climatic factors; it can make the hardness of the forgings higher, which is also not conducive to subsequent cutting processing and affects the cutting accuracy.

[0008] In the article "Effects of Forging and Heat Treatment Processes on the Structure and Properties of 20CrMoH Steel" published by scholar Sui Xiaoli, it is disclosed that the banded structure can be eliminated by controlling the forging ratio, upsetting ratio and drawing ratio within a certain range. After the subsequent preliminary heat treatment process including normalizing, the hardness at 920°C is between 201-202HBW. Obviously, the hardness is relatively large, which is not conducive to subsequent cutting processing and affects the cutting accuracy. Summary of the invention

[0009] In order to solve the technical problems in the prior art that 20CrMoH steel is prone to bainite structure, high banding level, uneven structure after forging, and high hardness after isothermal annealing, stress relief annealing or normalizing heat treatment of forging materials, which is not conducive to subsequent cutting processing, subsequent machining and surface carburization of slider blanks, etc.; the present invention proposes an online heat treatment process that can solve the above problems and improve the uniformity of the structure of 20CrMoH slider blanks.
