[0022] The technical solutions of the preferred embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the scope protected by the present application.

[0023] The B23 material in the ASME SA-540 standard (sometimes referred to as SA-540 B23 hereinafter) is a high-strength medium-carbon alloy steel. SA-540 B23 can be applied to nuclear power, petrochemical, aerospace or other harsh environments with extreme temperatures and pressures, and is used to manufacture fasteners for critical components. The fasteners can include bolts, studs, screws or other fasteners, etc. When the fasteners are applied to harsh environments, such as the B23 material screws used for the support of the nuclear power plant pressurizer, there are upper and lower limits for its room-temperature tensile strength, and lower limits for the room-temperature yield strength, high-temperature tensile strength, high-temperature yield strength, and low-temperature impact energy. Specifically, the standard values required for the room-temperature tensile strength, room-temperature yield strength, high-temperature tensile strength, high-temperature yield strength, and low-temperature impact energy can be referred to Table 1.

[0024] Table 1

[0025] Tensile strength at room temperature (MPa) Yield strength at room temperature (MPa) Tensile strength at 350°C (MPa) Yield strength at 350°C (MPa) Low temperature impact energy at -18°C (J) / lateral expansion (mm) Standard value 1070-1170 ≥965 ≥945 ≥842 47 / 0.63

[0026] Among the parameters of room-temperature tensile strength, room-temperature yield strength, high-temperature tensile strength, high-temperature yield strength and low-temperature impact energy, there is an upper limit requirement for the room-temperature tensile strength, and the high-temperature yield strength cannot be too low. However, increasing the room-temperature tensile strength will cause the low-temperature impact energy to decrease. Therefore, balancing the above parameters to meet the standard value requirements has become an urgent technical problem to be solved.

[0027] To at least partially solve the above problems, the inventors finally obtained the present invention through continuous experimental exploration.

[0033] According to the second aspect of the present application, embodiments of the present application further provide a method for manufacturing fasteners, including: obtaining a forged bar, where the bar is made of B23 material in the ASME SA-540 standard and the forging ratio of the bar is greater than or equal to 9.5. Among them, in the B23 material, the C content is 0.37 - 0.44 wt%, the Si content is 0.15 - 0.35 wt%, the Mn content is 0.6 - 0.95 wt%, the P content is 0 - 0.025 wt%, the S content is 0 - 0.025 wt%, the Cr content is 0.65 - 0.95 wt%, the Ni content is 1.55 - 2 wt%, and the Mo content is 0.2 - 0.3 wt%; quenching the bar; tempering the quenched bar.

[0036] Preferably, when tempering, the holding time is 3.5 ± 0.05 h, such as 3.45 h, 3.5 h, 3.55 h or values between the above values, and more preferably, the holding time is 3.5 h.

[0037] Preferably, obtaining a bar in a forged state includes: loading a B23 ingot into a furnace and holding it at 1150 - 1300 °C; performing cogging on the heat-preserved B23 ingot to break coarse grains and massive substances in the ingot; performing upsetting and drawing on the cogged B23 ingot to increase the single deformation amount to 30 - 70%, repeatedly upsetting - drawing and changing the forging direction to accumulate the forging ratio; using a U-shaped anvil in the final forging stage and forging gradually from the center to the end, with the final forging temperature of 850 - 1000 °C; the forging ratio of the bar can be in the range of 9.5 - 12, such as values like 9.5, 10, 11, 12, etc., to prevent insufficient tensile strength and yield strength caused by too high forging ratio.

[0040] The manufacturing method of the fastener provided by the embodiment of the present application can obtain a bar with the normal-temperature tensile strength, normal-temperature yield strength, high-temperature tensile strength, high-temperature yield strength, and low-temperature impact energy all meeting the requirements by controlling the forging ratio and the heat-preservation temperature during tempering treatment, combined with controlling the heating rate and heat-preservation time, and then obtain a fastener meeting the quality requirements. Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the bar is heat-treated by combining a lower heat-preservation temperature during tempering treatment and a higher forging ratio, so that the fastener made of the bar has higher high-temperature yield strength and higher low-temperature impact energy while the normal-temperature tensile strength does not exceed the upper limit value. Thus, on the premise of meeting the standard value requirements, the fastener has better high-low temperature mechanical properties, and the mechanical properties of the fastener are better in both high-temperature and low-temperature cases. In the preferred embodiment, by optimizing the heating rate and heat-preservation time, a fastener with better low-temperature mechanical properties is obtained under the condition of good high-temperature performance.

[0056] Table 2

[0057] Tensile strength at room temperature (MPa) Yield strength at room temperature (MPa) Tensile strength at 350°C (MPa) Yield strength at 350°C (MPa) Low temperature impact energy at -18°C (J) / lateral expansion (mm) Standard value 1070-1170 ≥965 ≥945 ≥842 47 / 0.63 Example 1 1169 1112 1099 879 61 / 0.69 Example 2 1164 1108 1087 870 63 / 0.70 Example 3 1155 1100 1042 863 68 / 0.72 Comparative example 1 1128 1029 1025 805 72 / 0.78 Comparative example 2 1152 1062 1045 835 65 / 0.70 Comparative example 3 1194 1131 1110 882 54 / 0.62 Comparative example 4 1205 1153 1110 899 52 / 0.57

[0058] As can be seen from Table 2, the screws obtained in Example 1, Example 2, and Example 3 all meet the requirements of the standard values. Among them, Example 1 has good tensile strength and yield strength, but the low-temperature impact energy is relatively low; in Example 2, the tensile strength and yield strength slightly decrease, while the low-temperature impact energy increases; in Example 3, the tensile strength and yield strength further decrease, and the increase in low-temperature impact energy is more obvious.

[0059] The screws obtained in Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 2, Comparative Example 3, and Comparative Example 4 do not meet the requirements of the standard values. Among them, the high-temperature yield strength of Comparative Example 1 is too low; the high-temperature yield strength of Comparative Example 2 is too low; the normal-temperature tensile strength of Comparative Example 3 is too high; the normal-temperature tensile strength of Comparative Example 4 is too high.

[0060] By comparing Example 1 with Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 2, Comparative Example 3, and Comparative Example 4 respectively, it can be concluded that by increasing the forging ratio to 9.5 and reducing the tempering temperature to 535°C, the normal-temperature tensile strength of the screw can be made not to exceed the upper limit specified by the standard value, while the high-temperature yield strength is good, and a relatively high low-temperature impact energy can be maintained.

[0061] By comparing Example 1 and Example 2, it can be concluded that when the heating rate is reduced from 200°C / h to 160°C / h, the low-temperature impact energy can be further improved while other parameters meet the standard values.

[0062] By comparing Example 2 and Example 3, it can be concluded that after the holding time is extended from 2.5 h to 3.5 h, the low-temperature impact energy can be further improved while other parameters meet the standard values, and the screw has good low-temperature toughness.

[0063] The screws obtained in Example 1, Example 2, Example 3, Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 2, Comparative Example 3, and Comparative Example 4 were subjected to a metallographic test with reference to the ASTM B112-2013 standard. The test samples were taken from the ends of the broken room-temperature tensile specimens, etched with the ET06 grain size etchant, observed longitudinally on the observation surface, and magnified 100X to obtain the Figure 1 - Figure 7 metallographic pictures as shown. Among them, Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 all reached a grain size of 8.5 grades, and Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 reached a grain size of 7.5 grades. It can be seen that through the methods provided in Example 1, Example 2, and Example 3, the obtained material has a higher grain size, a smaller grain size, and higher toughness.
