[0002] In the field of material heat treatment, the size of steel samples has a significant impact on the heat treatment effect. Studies have shown that changes in the size of steel samples will directly affect key parameters such as heat conduction and heat radiation, which in turn profoundly affect the microstructure and physical and chemical properties of the material. Usually, in order to improve the consistency of product quality, it is necessary to optimize the process parameters by adjusting the size of steel samples and repeating the heat treatment experiments. However, in traditional methods, since the mechanism by which the heat treatment effect is affected by the size of steel samples is unclear, it is impossible to accurately judge the influence of the size of steel samples on the heat treatment performance, and there is a lack of corresponding process solutions. Therefore, it is very necessary to design a process method that has wide promotion value and can accurately judge the influence of the size of steel samples on the physical and chemical results after heat treatment.

[0018] The present invention provides a method for testing the physical and chemical results of steel samples after heat treatment, and a specific embodiment is as follows: Example 1 Step 1: Select the same batch of 9310 steel with a specification of 220 and an average grain size of 7. Its main chemical composition is shown in the following table: Table 19310 Steel Chemical Composition

[0021] Step 2: pre-treat the steel samples in step 1 by using ultrasonic cleaning to clean the surface of each steel sample and remove the surface oxide scale of the steel sample.

[0022] Step 3: Perform uniform heat treatment on the two groups of steel samples of different sizes pre-treated in step 2, specifically: Quenching treatment: Heat the heating furnace to 815°C at a rate of less than 10°C / min. When the furnace temperature fluctuation range is less than 5°C, load the steel samples of the same size. Perform insulation control and keep the temperature at 815°C for 1 hour. Use a thermocouple to monitor the furnace temperature fluctuation in real time. The furnace temperature fluctuation range is less than 5°C. Perform oil cooling. Within 10 seconds after the end of the insulation in step 3.1.1.2, transfer the samples to a quenching oil tank at a temperature of 40°C-80°C and force-circulate and cool them to below 50°C. The flow rate of the quenching oil tank should be no less than 2.5 m / s. Tempering treatment: Perform a rapid converter treatment, transferring the steel sample quenched in step 3.1.1 to an independent tempering furnace that has been preheated to 150°C; perform a low-temperature tempering treatment, maintaining the temperature at 150°C for 3 hours, with a temperature fluctuation range of less than 3°C; perform an air cooling treatment, after the tempering and holding in step 3.1.2.2 is completed, place the steel sample on a ventilation rack to cool naturally, and monitor the surface temperature until it drops to 22°C-28°C before removing it from the furnace, with a cooling rate of less than 2°C / min; Hardness test: The hardness was measured using the Rockwell hardness HRC method. The Rockwell hardness value of the test sample was measured in accordance with GB / T 230.1-2018 "Rockwell hardness test for metallic materials - Part 1: Test method". Three test points were evenly selected on the same cross section of the tempered steel sample. Each point was measured three times, and the average value was taken as the hardness value of the steel sample.

[0023] Tensile test: In accordance with GB / T 228.1-2021 "Room Temperature Tensile Tests on Metallic Materials Part 1: Room Temperature Test Methods", an electronic universal testing machine was used to conduct tensile tests. Tempered steel specimens were used for room temperature tensile tests. Each steel specimen was stretched to fracture, and the force-displacement curve of the steel specimen was recorded. The tensile strength, yield strength, elongation after fracture, and reduction of area of the tensile specimen were calculated and measured based on the curve. The test results are shown in the following table: Table 4 Test results of 9310 steel samples of different sizes in Example 1

[0024] A group of steel samples of the same size after pretreatment in step 2 are uniformly heat treated as follows: Quenching treatment: Heat the heating furnace to 815°C at a rate of less than 10°C / min. When the furnace temperature fluctuation range is less than 5°C, load the steel samples of the same size. Perform insulation control and keep the temperature at 815°C for 1 hour. Use a thermocouple to monitor the furnace temperature fluctuation in real time. The furnace temperature fluctuation range is less than 5°C. Perform oil cooling. Within 10 seconds after the end of the insulation in step 3.1.1.2, transfer the samples to a quenching oil tank at a temperature of 40°C-80°C and force-circulate and cool them to below 50°C. The flow rate of the quenching oil tank should be no less than 2.5 m / s. Tempering treatment: Perform a rapid converter treatment, transferring the steel samples quenched in step 3.1.1 to an independent tempering furnace, which has been preheated to 150°C in advance; perform a low-temperature tempering treatment, in a constant temperature environment of 150°C, holding 1-4 groups of steel samples of the same size for different time periods, wherein group 1 of the same size samples is held for 3 hours, group 2 of the same size samples is held for 3.5 hours, group 3 of the same size samples is held for 3.8 hours, and group 4 of the same size samples is held for 4 hours, with the furnace temperature fluctuation range being less than 3°C; perform an air cooling treatment, placing the steel samples on a ventilation rack for natural cooling after the tempering and holding period, while monitoring the surface temperature until it drops to 22°C-28°C before being removed from the furnace, with a cooling rate of less than 2°C / min; Hardness test: The hardness was measured using the Rockwell hardness HRC method. The Rockwell hardness value of the test sample was measured in accordance with GB / T 230.1-2018 "Rockwell hardness test for metallic materials - Part 1: Test method". Three test points were evenly selected on the same cross section of the tempered steel sample. Each point was measured three times, and the average value was taken as the hardness value of the steel sample.

[0025] Tensile test: In accordance with GB / T 228.1-2021 "Room Temperature Tensile Tests on Metallic Materials Part 1: Room Temperature Test Methods", an electronic universal testing machine was used to conduct tensile tests. Tempered steel specimens were used for room temperature tensile tests. Each steel specimen was stretched to fracture, and the force-displacement curve of the steel specimen was recorded. The tensile strength, yield strength, elongation after fracture, and reduction of area of the tensile specimen were calculated and measured based on the curve. The test results are shown in the following table: Table 5 Test results of 9310 steel samples of the same size as in Example 1

[0026] Step 4: Optimize the process parameters of the heat treatment according to the test results in step 3.

[0027] The test results of Example 1 above show that the size of the heat-treated 9310 steel sample with a gauge of 220 has a significant effect on the test results. Sample size is a key factor influencing the test results. As sample size increases, its Rockwell hardness shows a downward trend. At the same time, large samples are significantly affected by the heat treatment, with a significant reduction in tensile strength and yield strength. This is more pronounced for square billets than for round billets. Similarly, tempering time also significantly affects the tensile strength and yield strength of the drawn samples. Extended tempering time reduces tensile strength and yield strength. Therefore, to ensure a first-pass yield, smaller test samples should be used and the tempering time should be shortened.

[0046] The method for testing the physical and chemical properties of heat-treated steel samples of the present invention was used to test steel samples of different sizes and steel samples of the same size in this embodiment, and the test results were recorded. The tempering and holding times for each group of steel samples of the same size were 3.8 hours and 4 hours, respectively. The specific results are shown in the following table: Table 24 Test results of 9310 steel samples of different sizes in Example 6

[0047] Table 25 Test results of 9310 steel samples of the same size as Example 6

[0048] As can be seen from Examples 1-6 above, by verifying the changes in the physical and chemical properties of steel samples of different sizes under fixed heat treatment conditions, completing performance tests on at least three different-sized samples under a unified heat treatment regime, recording detailed data, and analyzing its relationship with material properties, the effects of different heat treatment regimes on the performance of fixed-size steel samples were evaluated. Finally, the test data was analyzed and heat treatment process parameters were optimized, resulting in a process method that can accurately determine the effect of steel sample size on the physical and chemical results after heat treatment. This effectively solves the problem of the existing art that cannot accurately determine the effect of steel sample size on the physical and chemical results after heat treatment and lacks a corresponding process solution.
