Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of metal smelting, in particular to a production method of low-alloy steel castings. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of industry, engineering machinery is developing towards the high-end frontier, which puts higher requirements on the performance of materials. Low alloy cast steel has the characteristics of low alloy content (total amount of alloy elements ≤5%), wide source, good comprehensive mechanical properties, simple manufacturing process and low cost. It is an engineering material with good application prospects. Ultra-high strength low alloy cast steel not only has high strength and high hardness, but also has good toughness and impact resistance.
[0003] Prior art, such as Chinese Patent Publication No. CN107760983A, discloses a method for producing low-alloy ultra-high-strength steel and its castings. The low-alloy cast steel utilizes a low carbon ratio with various alloying elements, and incorporates a relatively high trace amount of niobium to refine the grains and homogenize the structure. After heat treatment, its hardness and wear resistance are significantly improved, while its strength and toughness are rationally balanced, resulting in excellent comprehensive mechanical properties and processability. The mechanical properties of the low-carbon alloy cast steel described in the present invention are as follows: tensile strength of 1300 to 1500 MPa, yield strength of 900 to 1200 MPa, elongation ≥10%, impact energy Ak ≥40 J in a room temperature V-notch Charpy impact test, and Brinell hardness of 390-460 HBW.
[0004] In the traditional production process of low-alloy steel castings, molten steel is poured into the sand mold, and the compactness of each part of the sand mold is inconsistent, which not only affects the cooling rate of the steel casting and causes uneven shrinkage, but also the parts with low compactness are easily deformed under the pressure of the molten steel, resulting in internal gaps and defects, thus affecting the performance of the low-alloy steel casting.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0027] 1. In the present invention, the traditional heat treatment process of steel castings is innovated by adding a hot isostatic pressing process and adopting a heat treatment process combining normalizing and tempering, which effectively eliminates tiny defects inside the castings and improves the density and mechanical properties of the castings. The hot isostatic pressing process heals the pores and defects inside the castings under high temperature and high pressure, normalizing refines the grains, improves strength and toughness, and tempering eliminates internal stress, stabilizes the structure, and improves plasticity and toughness, fully leveraging the performance advantages of low-alloy steel castings and meeting the high-performance requirements of steel castings in different fields.
[0028] 2. In the present invention, the carbon in the basic raw materials of low-alloy steel castings can form interstitial solid solutions, hindering dislocation movement, manganese can strengthen ferrite, and enhance the strength and hardness of steel, chromium can improve the hardenability of steel, so that the steel obtains a high-hardness martensitic structure after quenching, and nickel can refine the grains, improving the toughness and hardness of steel. At the same time, compared with traditional processes, boron and niobium are added during smelting, boron improves hardenability, niobium refines the grains and precipitation strengthens, further improving the hardness, and ultrasonic vibration is introduced to refine the grains, reduce component segregation, and make the structure more uniform and dense, which is conducive to improving the hardness. The hot isostatic pressing treatment after casting eliminates internal defects, optimizes the structure, and also provides support for hardness improvement, thereby ensuring the hardness requirements of low-alloy steel castings.
[0029] 3. In the present invention, boron and niobium are added during the smelting process of the steel casting. Boron improves the hardenability of the steel, allowing the steel to be more fully transformed into a martensite structure during the quenching process. Martensite has high hardness and high strength, thereby significantly improving the hardness and tensile strength of the steel casting. Niobium works through grain refinement and precipitation strengthening mechanisms. The refined grains not only increase the strength but also improve the toughness. The precipitation of the precipitated phase further strengthens the matrix and enhances the ability of the steel casting to resist deformation and fracture. In terms of impact toughness, the combined action of boron and niobium enables the steel casting to better absorb energy when subjected to impact loads, reduces the risk of brittle fracture, and improves the comprehensive mechanical properties of the steel casting.
[0030] 4. In the present invention, nano-reinforcement phases such as nano-ceramic particles, graphene and carbon fibers are added during the smelting process of steel castings. The nano-ceramic particles are evenly distributed in the steel matrix due to their own high hardness, playing a role of dispersion strengthening, significantly improving the hardness of the steel castings. The excellent mechanical properties and high conductivity of graphene can not only enhance the tensile strength of the steel castings, but also improve their physical properties such as conductivity. The high specific strength and high modulus of carbon fibers effectively enhance the bearing capacity of the steel castings and improve the tensile strength. These nano-reinforcement phases work together to improve the impact toughness of the steel castings, enabling them to consume energy through various mechanisms when subjected to impact, reducing the generation and expansion of cracks, and comprehensively improving the performance of the steel castings.
