[0002] High-strength and toughness hot working die steel is an alloy tool steel with high strength and excellent toughness, which is widely used in die-casting dies, hot forging dies and hot extrusion dies. It can not only maintain good mechanical properties for a long time at high temperature, but also maintain high hardness and good thermal stability. In addition, it has strong tensile, compressive and impact resistance, can withstand large loads and working stresses, and is not prone to cracking and other failure forms under harsh working conditions such as alternating hot and cold cycles. It can effectively resist wear and maintain accuracy and surface quality for a long time.

[0003] However, the market has increasingly higher requirements for hot working die steel, and the existing hot working die steel can no longer meet the high usage demand. In the automotive industry, when manufacturing molds such as car bodies, engine parts and suspension systems, high-strength and toughness hot working die steel is required to ensure the precision and durability of the mold. Although the hot working die steel that is widely used at present has met the needs of industrial production to a certain extent, it still has certain defects in terms of thermal fatigue resistance and toughness. In a high temperature environment, the die steel is prone to softening and oxidation, resulting in deformation and failure of the mold; the toughness of the mold is poor, and it is easy to crack when subjected to impact loads; in addition, there is also the low surface hardness of the hot working die steel, which seriously affects the service life of the die steel.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0026] 1. By adjusting the component types and amounts of alloy raw materials 1 and 2, which are the raw materials for preparing high-strength and toughness hot working die steel, the inactive elements and active elements are added separately in sequence, and a segmented melting method is adopted to allow the elements to be fully melted without causing overheating effects on the elements; and partially adding some carbon elements to melt to play a role in deoxidation and promoting stirring, and adding rare earth elements, setting appropriate melting temperature, pouring temperature and pouring flow rate, so that the high-strength and toughness hot working die steel has good impact toughness and high Rockwell hardness.

[0027] 2. The prepared steel ingot is subjected to hot forging and annealing treatments, and high-temperature diffusion is performed before hot forging to improve the uniformity of atomic distribution; by adjusting the heating rate, holding temperature and cooling rate, and performing two upsetting and two drawing processes, repeated recovery recrystallization occurs, the grains are refined, and annealing treatment is performed. The annealing conditions are controlled, which can effectively eliminate the generated internal stress, promote the refinement of the internal grains of the steel, make the distribution of carbon in the steel more uniform, eliminate local segregation, and improve the toughness and hardness of the steel.

[0028] 3. By subjecting the annealed steel to cyclic hot forging and annealing treatment, the grains are further refined, and solid solution-quenching-partitioning and tempering treatment are performed again, so that the hot working die steel is heated to the soluble area, so that the various alloy elements in the steel are fully dissolved in the solid solution, and the structural defects in the steel are eliminated. Rapid cooling transforms the structure of the die steel into martensite or bainite, thereby improving the hardness of the die steel. In the cooling process after quenching, by controlling the cooling rate and temperature, the alloy elements such as carbon are reasonably distributed between martensite and austenite, further improving the strength of the steel; through tempering treatment, the residual stress generated during the quenching process is eliminated and the brittleness of the steel is reduced.

[0029] 4. The high-strength and toughness hot working die steel precursor obtained by tempering is further processed, and ceramic binder cubic boron nitride grinding wheel is used for grinding during the finishing process. During the grinding process, some particles of boron nitride and ceramic are embedded in the surface of the precursor, which improves the flatness of the surface of the high-strength and toughness hot working die steel on the one hand, and improves its own hardness on the other hand; by optimizing the finishing conditions; nitriding treatment can improve the toughness of the hot working die steel to a certain extent, and carburizing treatment can make the transition between the carburized layer and the core structure smooth, and cross-link with the pre-added carbon element, thereby improving the toughness and surface roughness of the high-strength and toughness hot working die steel, while improving the surface hardness, maintaining good toughness and heat fatigue resistance of the core.

[0067] Experimental Example 1

[0068] The high-strength and toughness hot working die steels prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-9 were tested for impact toughness and surface hardness. The final test results are shown in Table 1.

[0069] Table 1 Impact toughness and surface hardness results of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-6

[0070]

[0071] The high-strength and toughness hot-working die steel produced by the present invention has an impact toughness of 32.7-33.6 J / cm under the conditions of Examples 1-3. 2 , Rockwell hardness is HRC52; impact toughness under comparative examples 1-9 is 25.0-30.2J / cm 2, Rockwell hardness is HRC45-HRC49. Alloy raw material 1 is added, in which inactive elements Ni, Mo, Co, Nb, W, Ce and La and part of C element are added; then active elements Si, Mn, Cr, V, P, S and Ti and C element are added to alloy raw material 2. C element is added in batches, which, on the one hand, plays a role of deoxidation to prevent oxygen from interfering with the internal structure of steel, and on the other hand, promotes melting and stirring; however, if C is not added in batches, as shown in Comparative Example 1, the performance of high-strength and toughness hot working die steel decreases, and after C element dissolves in the iron matrix, it forms a solid solution, which plays a role of hindering dislocation movement in the lattice, thereby enhancing the strength of the steel. This is because when dislocations move in the crystal structure, carbon atoms will interact with the dislocations, increasing the difficulty of dislocation movement, thereby increasing the strength of the steel; and carbon can form carbides with other elements (such as chromium, molybdenum, vanadium, etc.) to prevent the movement of dislocations; in addition, it will promote the refinement of steel grains, and fine grains can hinder the slip of dislocations, thereby increasing the strength of the steel. Therefore, Example 2 does not contain the C element, and the toughness and hardness are significantly reduced; however, if the C content is too high, the performance of high-strength and toughness hot working die steel will be reduced, as shown in Example 7. In Examples 1-3, the inactive elements are first melted and then the active elements are added. The melting temperature of the active elements is lower than that of the inactive elements, so as to avoid overheating of the active elements at high temperatures, or decomposition and reaction that reduces the performance of the high-strength and toughness hot working die steel; in Comparative Example 9, alloy raw material 2 is added first, and the stability of the active elements is reduced, thereby reducing the overall performance of the material; in Comparative Example 3, alloy raw material 1 and alloy raw material 2 are mixed together, and elements such as Ce, Ti and Ni react with S to produce sulfides, thereby reducing the toughness of the die steel and increasing its brittleness; by adjusting the vacuum degree, oxygen and other gases are prevented from reacting with the elements. The vacuum degree of Comparative Example 4 is too high, which reduces the performance of the die steel; by adjusting the casting flow rate, within a suitable range, the slurry is mixed evenly and no partial condensation occurs, thereby causing uneven components of the hot working die steel. As shown in the results of Comparative Examples 5 and 6, too high or too low a casting flow rate will lead to reduced toughness and hardness. The addition of Nb can form stable carbides, prevent grain growth, and improve the thermal strength of steel. Its dispersed distribution on the grain boundary can form a fine and uniform grain structure. The addition of Ce and La can make the grains of the hot working die steel finer and more uniform, reduce defects at the grain boundaries, and thus improve the toughness and strength of the steel. Comparative Example 8 does not add the above elements, so the impact toughness and Rockwell hardness of the high-strength and toughness hot working die steel are significantly lower than those of Example 1.

[0097]

[0098] The high-strength and toughness hot-working die steel produced by the present invention has an impact toughness of 33.6-36.2 J / cm under the conditions of Examples 2 and 4-7. 2 , Rockwell hardness is HRC52-HRC53; Comparative Example 10-18 has an impact toughness of 26.0-29.4 J / cm 2, Rockwell hardness is HRC45-HRC49. In Examples 2, 4-7, by adjusting the heating rate, holding temperature, holding time, cooling rate, two upsetting and two drawing and total forging ratio during hot forging, and adjusting the heating temperature, cooling rate and cooling temperature of annealing, the obtained high-strength and toughness hot working die steel has high toughness and hardness. In the early stage of hot forging, homogenization treatment is carried out, and the steel ingot is heated to a suitable temperature at a suitable heating rate and kept warm for a period of time, so that the atoms obtain sufficient energy, promote the dissolution of carbides and the diffusion of alloy elements, thereby improving component segregation; when the heating temperature is within a reasonable range, the energy obtained by carbon atoms and alloy components is increased, and it is easy to migrate from high concentration areas to low concentration areas, so that the atoms are fully diffused and a material with uniform composition is obtained; the heating rate and temperature of Example 10 are too high, and Example 11 is not subjected to homogenization treatment, and the toughness and hardness of the high-strength and toughness hot working die steel are lower than those of Example 2. The temperature of hot forging needs to be controlled within a reasonable range. When the temperature of Example 12 is too high, the grains of the hot working die steel may be too coarse, resulting in a decrease in the toughness of the material; the coarse grains reduce the impact resistance of the material, especially at high temperatures, brittle fracture may occur easily; at the same time, too high forging temperature will cause excessive diffusion of carbon and alloy elements in the steel, making the steel too soft, resulting in a low Rockwell hardness; in addition, high temperature forging may also lead to the formation of an oxide layer of the steel, thereby affecting the uniformity of hardness. Example 13 The temperature is too low, and the deformation during the forging process is incomplete, resulting in more internal stress and defects inside the steel, which in turn leads to a decrease in the toughness of the material and is prone to brittle fracture during subsequent use; the steel cannot fully undergo plastic deformation, resulting in coarse grains and uneven structure, which makes the hardness uneven, and a higher hardness will appear that is not suitable for the working environment, especially at high temperature, causing wear and surface damage; in addition, some alloy elements in the steel cannot be completely dissolved or evenly distributed, resulting in uneven structure, fluctuations in the mechanical properties and hardness of the steel, and reducing the toughness and strength of the mold. By controlling the upsetting ratio and the drawing ratio within a reasonable range, the second upsetting ratio and the drawing ratio are higher than the first upsetting ratio and the drawing ratio. In the first stage, the upsetting ratio is small and the drawing ratio is moderate. This means that during the forging process, the metal deformation is relatively mild, the deformation amount is relatively small, and the grains of the material may not have been refined too much. This mild deformation helps to retain the toughness of the material; in the latter stage, the upsetting ratio and the drawing ratio increase, and the steel undergoes more severe deformation. The grains will be further refined in this process, thereby improving the toughness and hardness of the material.The upsetting ratio and drawing ratio of Comparative Example 14 are not conducive to grain refinement; the forging ratio of Comparative Example 15 is too large, and the deformation degree is too high, which may cause large deformation stress in the hot working die steel during the forging process, and may even cause cracks, defects or burns; it also causes excessive refinement of metal grains, which may increase the strength of the steel, but may also increase brittleness and reduce the toughness and impact resistance of the die; the forging ratio of Comparative Example 16 is too small, and the deformation degree is low, which may lead to insufficient plastic deformation of the steel, forming an uneven organizational structure, coarse grains, and reducing overall performance. Through annealing treatment, internal stress is eliminated, the refinement of grains inside the steel is promoted, and the distribution of carbon is more uniform, local segregation is eliminated, and the toughness and hardness of the steel are improved; in Comparative Examples 17 and 18, the heating temperature is too high and the cooling temperature is too low, which reduces the performance of high-strength and toughness hot working die steel.

[0117] The high-strength and toughness hot working die steel prepared by the present invention has an impact toughness of 36.2-37.8 J / cm under the conditions of Examples 6 and 8-19. 2 , Rockwell hardness is HRC53-HRC55; the impact toughness under the conditions of comparative examples 19-23 is 24.2-30.8J / cm 2 , Rockwell hardness is HRC45-HRC49. In Examples 6, 8-19, by optimizing the temperature of cyclic hot forging and annealing, the instantaneous heating temperature, quenching temperature and time are optimized during the solution-quenching-partitioning treatment. Through cyclic hot forging and annealing treatment, hot forging can compact and weld the looseness, pores and other defects inside the steel ingot, thereby improving the density of the steel; breaking up the coarse grains and carbides in the cast structure to make them evenly distributed, refining the grains, improving the uniformity of the structure, and annealing again to further eliminate the internal stress. After alternating forging deformation grain refinement treatment and annealing phase transformation grain refinement treatment, through multiple austenitization and cooling processes, the phase transformation process is utilized to produce The stress and nucleation growth of new phases are used to refine the grains; after each forging deformation grain refinement treatment is completed, an annealing phase transformation grain refinement treatment is performed, the temperature of the last forging deformation grain refinement treatment is not higher than the temperature of the previous forging deformation grain refinement treatment, the temperature of the last annealing phase transformation grain refinement treatment is higher than the temperature of each previous annealing phase transformation grain refinement treatment, and the last annealing phase transformation grain refinement treatment obtains a spherical pearlite structure; and through the solution-quenching-partitioning treatment, the quenching temperature and time are adjusted; the tempering treatment is performed again to control the reaction temperature and time, so that the toughness and strength of the high-strength and toughness hot working die steel are further improved. The secondary hot forging temperature of Comparative Example 19 is higher than the temperature of the first hot forging, and the secondary annealing temperature of Comparative Example 20 is lower than the first annealing temperature, resulting in the lamellar pearlite structure not being completely transformed into the spherical pearlite structure, so compared with Example 6, the mechanical properties are reduced. In Comparative Examples 21-23, any of the steps of cyclic hot forging and annealing, solution-quenching-partitioning treatment and tempering treatment is not performed, so that the structural defects cannot be eliminated, the residual stress in the structure cannot be eliminated, the brittleness increases, and the impact toughness and Rockwell hardness of the high-strength and toughness hot working die steel are reduced.

The thermal fatigue resistance test method is as follows: thermal cycle treatment is performed from room temperature to 700°C. After 2000 cycles, the crack depth on the surface of the high-strength and toughness hot working die steel is tested. The final test results are shown in Table 7.

[0140] The high-strength and toughness hot working die steel prepared by the present invention has an impact toughness of 37.5-37.9 J / cm under the conditions of Examples 11, 13-17. 2 , Ra value is 0.4-0.8μm, crack depth is 0.1-0.4mm; under the conditions of comparative examples 24-30, impact toughness is 26.5-37.0J / cm 2, Ra value is 0.8-3.0μm, crack depth is 0.4-1.5mm. The high-strength and toughness hot-working die steel precursor is finished by using a ceramic bond cubic boron nitride grinding wheel. Using this grinding wheel for grinding can allow particles such as boron nitride, silicon dioxide, titanium dioxide, aluminum oxide, boron oxide and lithium superoxide to penetrate into the surface of the high-strength and toughness hot-working die steel during the grinding process, and optimize the grinding and cutting conditions; in addition, the conditions of nitriding and carburizing treatment are optimized, and nitrogen atoms penetrate into the surface of the steel to form nitrides. These nitrides can refine the grains, thereby improving the toughness of the steel; nitriding can also generate residual compressive stress on the surface, offset part of the tensile stress generated by external loads, reduce the formation of surface fatigue cracks, and reduce the formation of surface fatigue cracks. Improve toughness; carburizing treatment allows carbon atoms to penetrate into the surface of the mold steel, forming a high carbon layer on the surface, greatly improving the surface hardness; the high hardness surface layer formed by carburizing can effectively resist abrasive wear, adhesive wear and oxidative wear; the carburizing furnace pressure, voltage and processing time are reasonably adjusted to avoid the formation of coarse carbides or network carbides in the carburized layer, thereby increasing the brittleness of the carburized layer, reducing toughness, and when the mold is subjected to impact loads, the carburized layer is prone to cracks, and the cracks are easy to expand. The compressive stress state formed on the surface by carburizing treatment is conducive to improving the fatigue strength of the mold steel. Repeated thermal stress and mechanical stress will cause the generation and expansion of fatigue cracks. The compressive stress of the carburized layer can partially offset the tensile stress generated during work, hinder the initiation of fatigue cracks, and thus improve the fatigue life of the mold. The conditions for grinding using ordinary grinding wheels in Comparative Example 24 and finishing processing in Comparative Example 25 are not suitable. Compared with Example 11, the surface roughness increases and the heat fatigue resistance decreases. Comparative Example 26 did not undergo nitriding treatment, and the impact toughness was lower than that of Example 11, the surface roughness was improved, and the thermal fatigue resistance was reduced. Comparative Example 27 did not undergo carburizing treatment, and the mold performance was reduced. Comparative Example 28 The carburizing treatment time was too long, resulting in increased flexibility of the mold and reduced impact toughness. Comparative Example 29 Alloy Raw Materials 1 and 2 did not contain C element, and no carburizing treatment was performed. The overall performance of the mold was greatly reduced compared with Example 11. In Comparative Example 30, the calcium oxide crucible is used instead of the prefabricated calcium oxide crucible, and the comprehensive performance is reduced. The calcium oxide crucible has a short service life and is prone to cracking during use, which causes the alloy liquid to contact the external environment and introduce impurities. The prefabricated calcium oxide crucible has good thermal shock resistance, which can reduce smelting failures and alloy performance fluctuations caused by crucible rupture, and is conducive to the production of hot working die steel with stable quality and excellent performance. In addition, a sintering aid is added to the prefabricated calcium oxide crucible prepared therein, in which calcium oxide, zirconium oxide, silicon dioxide and boron trioxide are compounded with calcium oxide to form a stable crystalline phase structure. During the smelting and casting process, part of the zirconium, silicon and boron elements migrate into the alloy raw materials, ultimately improving the overall performance of the high-strength and toughness hot working die steel.
