Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of changing the physical structure of ferrous metals, and in particular relates to a novel H14 die steel manufacturing process and an application method thereof. Background Art
[0002] H14 is a type of tool steel. H14 mold steel belongs to the chromium-tungsten type hot work mold steel. It has higher red hardness and wear resistance than the chromium-molybdenum type hot work mold steel represented by H13. This steel is usually used to manufacture tools and molds that require high hardness and wear resistance. H14 mold steel usually contains a certain proportion of carbon, chromium, molybdenum and vanadium elements. By adding a certain proportion of carbon, chromium, molybdenum and vanadium elements, the hardness, wear resistance and heat treatment performance of H14 mold steel can be improved.
[0003] After proper heat treatment, H14 mold steel can reach very high hardness, making H14 mold steel suitable for making tools that withstand high stress. Due to the alloy elements contained in H14 mold steel, H14 steel has good wear resistance. H14 mold steel can be optimized through different heat treatment processes, such as quenching and tempering. Due to its high hardness and wear resistance, H14 mold steel is often used to make plastic molds, stamping molds and other types of molds, or for making cutting tools such as drills and milling cutters. At the same time, due to its good dimensional stability and high hardness, it is suitable for making tools that require high precision.
[0004] According to the existing technology, H14 mold steel needs to be poured into the mold for forming after smelting. Since H14 mold steel is smelted in an electric arc furnace and the molten H14 mold steel liquid needs to be poured after smelting, different molds need to be adjusted according to the application direction of the H14 mold steel during the pouring process. As a result, it is inconvenient to quickly change the mold during the pouring process of the H14 mold steel liquid, which in turn easily causes the H14 mold steel liquid to cool and condense during the pouring process.
[0005] At the same time, the raw material of H14 mold steel is usually alloy steel, which contains impurities. Therefore, the alloy steel needs to be melted to remove the impurities inside the alloy steel. The alloy steel is usually statically melted in a melting furnace, which requires a long time to melt the alloy steel. The melting furnace cannot assist in stirring and melting the alloy steel during the melting process. Summary of the Invention
[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a new H14 die steel manufacturing process and application method thereof to solve the problems described in the above background technology.
[0007] The purpose and efficacy of the novel H14 die steel manufacturing process and its application method of the present invention are achieved by the following specific technical means:
[0008] S1 raw material ratio: 0.32%-0.42% C, 0.30%-0.50% Si, 0.30%-0.50% Mn, 0%-0.20% P, 0%-0.20% S, 11%-13% Cr, 0.60-0.90% V, 0.70%-1.20% Mo, and the balance is alloy steel;
[0009] S2 impurity smelting: Alloy steel is placed inside the smelting furnace. A pipe is passed through one side of the smelting furnace. The pipe is equipped with a gate valve. The gate valve is driven horizontally by the manual rotation of the transmission rod and the hydraulic telescopic rod;
[0010] S3 mixed smelting: When the gate valve moves horizontally, the gate valve drives the rotating shaft to slide synchronously. The rotating shaft drives the sliding frame to slide on the inner wall of the pipeline track through the cross arm. The sliding of the cross arm can drive the rotating bearing to slide and rotate as a whole. The outer blades of the rotating bearing rotate synchronously. Therefore, the horizontal movement of the gate valve is used to remove alloy steel impurities inside the smelting furnace. The smelting time of the smelting furnace is 5-10 minutes.
[0011] S4 Proportioning Melting: The alloy steel solution after impurities are removed in the step and the carbon, silicon, manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, chromium, vanadium and molybdenum in the proportions in the step are placed in an electric arc furnace. The temperature inside the electric arc furnace is 2560-2950°C and the heating time is 1-3 hours. After heating, the mold steel liquid is obtained. Subsequently, oxygen is injected into the steel liquid to perform an oxidation-reduction reaction to remove impurities and gases in the steel liquid.
[0012] S5 vacuum degassing: The molten steel is sucked into the vacuum chamber of the vacuum furnace, and then argon is blown into the molten steel. Under high temperature and vacuum conditions, the argon expands, causing the density of the molten steel and gas mixture to decrease, so that it enters the vacuum chamber under the action of pressure difference. Under the action of high vacuum, the gas in the molten steel is released, and the molten steel is sprayed into fine droplets, further enhancing the degassing effect;
[0013] S6 Forging: The molten steel in step (5) is cast under vacuum conditions to reduce the content of gas and inclusions, and then poured into the mold. During the pouring process, the molds are horizontally fitted together and manually pushed to the pouring port of the mold steel liquid to assist the mold steel liquid to pour quickly;
[0014] S7 cooling: Spraying water is used for cooling. The wastewater generated after spraying is filtered and cooled again, and can be recycled. After cooling, the mold steel workpiece is obtained;
[0015] S8 quenching: After cooling, the mold steel workpiece is placed in the quenching furnace. The internal temperature of the quenching furnace is 500-700℃. The mold steel workpiece is kept warm for 30-40 minutes for preheating. Then the internal temperature of the quenching furnace is raised to 1000-1200℃ and kept warm for 40-60 minutes. Then the mold steel workpiece is taken out and cooled. The cooling time is 30-40 minutes.
[0016] S9 tempering: After cooling, the mold steel workpiece is placed in the tempering furnace. The internal temperature of the tempering furnace is 600-700℃, the tempering time is 50-60min, and the number of times is 2-3 times. After tempering, the mold steel workpiece is cooled to complete the production;
[0017] S10 Application: The shape of the mold used for pouring the molten steel in step (3) is selected according to the desired application direction of the mold steel. Different molds are selected, and the prepared mold steel workpiece can be applied to plastic molds, stamping molds and cutting tools.
[0018] Preferably, the pipeline is a pipeline at the outlet of the smelting furnace.
[0019] Preferably, a track is provided on the inner side of the pipeline, one end of the sliding frame slides inside the track, the other end of the sliding frame is connected to the cross arm, one side of the gate valve is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft, the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the cross arm, a rotary bearing is rotatably connected to the end of the cross arm away from the gate valve, the outer side of the rotary bearing is surrounded by blades, and the rotary bearing passes through the interior of the smelting furnace.
[0020] Preferably, the molds used for pouring the mold steel liquid are arranged at the upper end of the pulley block, and by pushing the molds, the molds move horizontally at the upper end of the pulley block, and the diameter of the pulley block is 1-3 cm.
[0021] Beneficial effects:
[0022] 1. When the gate valve moves horizontally, the gate valve drives the rotating shaft to slide synchronously. The rotating shaft drives the sliding frame to slide on the inner wall of the pipeline track through the cross arm. The sliding of the cross arm can drive the rotating bearing as a whole to slide and rotate. The outer blades of the rotating bearing rotate synchronously. The rotation of the rotating bearing and the blades can further stir the alloy steel inside the smelting furnace, and at the same time assist the impurities inside the alloy steel to be fully melted inside the smelting furnace, thereby assisting the smelting furnace to achieve efficient removal of impurities inside the alloy steel. The horizontal operation of the gate valve can be used to remove impurities in the alloy steel inside the smelting furnace. The above structure can greatly shorten the smelting time of the alloy steel in the smelting furnace, and the smelting time is shortened to 5-10 minutes.
[0023] 2. Pour the heated mold steel liquid into the mold. During the pouring process, the molds are horizontally fitted together and manually pushed. The molds are pushed to the pouring port of the mold steel liquid to assist in quickly pouring the mold steel liquid. The molds used for pouring the mold steel liquid are arranged at the upper end of the pulley block. By pushing the molds, the molds move horizontally at the upper end of the pulley block. The diameter of the pulley block is 1-3 cm. The pulley block diameter is set to avoid the inconvenience of the mold moving downward at the upper end of the pulley block due to the pulley block diameter being too large. At the same time, the pulley block assists the mold to move quickly to the pouring port of the mold steel liquid, which facilitates the rapid pouring of the mold steel liquid into the mold and avoids the mold steel liquid cooling and condensing during the pouring process, causing the mold steel liquid to adhere to the inside of the melting furnace.
