[0025] Figure 1 A flow chart of a method for improving the low-temperature performance and welding quality of a 25Cr2Ni3Mo steel impeller weld provided in an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] See also Figure 1 The embodiment of the present invention provides a method for improving the low temperature performance and welding quality of a 25Cr2Ni3Mo steel impeller weld, comprising the following steps:

[0027] Step 1) performing a preliminary heat treatment including normalizing and tempering on the cover disc and the shaft disc.

[0028] Among them, the normalizing treatment in the preliminary heat treatment process includes: the cover plate and the shaft plate are loaded into the furnace at ≤500℃, heated to 880-900℃ and kept warm for 0.6*effective thickness / 30+1h, and then air-cooled to room temperature, and the holding time is not less than 2h.

[0029] Among them, the tempering treatment in the preliminary heat treatment process includes: the cover plate and the shaft plate are loaded into the furnace at ≤350°C, heated to 660-690°C for a holding time of 0.9*effective thickness / 30+1h, and then air-cooled to room temperature for a holding time of not less than 3h.

[0030] Among them, the effective thickness is the effective thickness of the cover plate and the shaft plate, that is, when the cover plate is normalized and tempered, the effective thickness described in the holding time is the effective thickness of the cover plate, and when the shaft plate is normalized and tempered, the effective thickness described in the holding time is the effective thickness of the shaft plate.

[0031] Before welding the impeller, the cover and shaft disc undergo preliminary heat treatment, including normalizing and tempering. This, on the one hand, reduces structural defects generated during the forging process, such as overheated coarse-grained microstructure, Widmanstätten structure, and banded microstructure, thereby improving the overall material performance. It also stabilizes the metallographic structure of the weldment, reducing deformation and cracking caused by stress changes during use, thereby ensuring the stability of the workpiece's size and shape. Furthermore, this preliminary heat treatment further improves the uniformity of the parent material structure of the impeller cover and shaft disc, providing a guarantee for subsequent impeller welding.

[0032] Step 2) Welding of the impeller: After preheating the cover plate and the shaft plate, use optimized V840 welding material to perform arc welding. After welding, the welded impeller is post-heat treated.

[0033] The preheating temperature of the cover and shaft disc after preliminary heat treatment is 200-250°C. Preheating the cover and shaft disc before welding can reduce the cooling rate of the weld joint, thereby facilitating the escape of diffused hydrogen in the weld metal and preventing hydrogen-induced cracks. It can also reduce the temperature difference between the weld zone and the entire weldment, reducing welding stress and providing a guarantee for preventing weld cracks.

[0034] The current V840 welding consumables contain 2.0-2.8% Ni, 0.08-1.6% Mn, and 0.5-1.0% Cr. To improve the low-temperature performance and weld quality of the 25Cr2Ni3Mo steel impeller weld, the composition of the V840 welding consumables was optimized. The Ni content was increased to 3.0-4.0% and the Mn content was optimized to 0.4-0.9%. Since the reduction in Mn content necessitated the addition of Cr to increase strength, the Cr content was optimized to 1.8-2.5%. Furthermore, the S and P contents were reduced to ≤0.008%.

[0035] More optimally, the Ni content in the optimized V840 welding material is controlled within a range of 3.25-3.5%, the Mn content is controlled within a range of 0.5-0.7%, and the Cr content is controlled within a range of 2.0-2.3%.

[0036] Among them, the welding parameters for arc welding after preheating the cover plate and the shaft plate include: current controlled at 100-145A, voltage controlled at 23-26V, welding speed controlled at 13-17cm / min, and interlayer temperature controlled at 200-350℃.

[0037] At the same time, the welded impeller requires post-heat treatment at a temperature of 250-350°C. Post-heating after welding can reduce the cooling rate of the weld, promote hydrogen escape, and avoid hydrogen-induced cracking. It also slows the cooling rate of the weld joint, preventing the formation of hardened structures, thereby reducing the occurrence of cold cracking and delayed cracking, and preventing cracking during the welding process. It also reduces residual stress in the weld joint, preventing the occurrence of cold cracking or reheating cracking.

[0038] The present invention can make the structures of the weld and the heat-affected zone uniform and refine the grains through preheating before welding and heating after welding, thereby reducing the residual stress of the weld joint.

[0039] Step 3) The welded impeller is subjected to stress relief treatment including stress relief and normalizing treatment in a vacuum heat treatment device.

[0040] Among them, the steps of stress relief-normalizing treatment include:

[0041] Place the welded impeller into a vacuum heat treatment device, place it in a furnace at room temperature, heat it to 660-690°C at a rate of 1-3°C / h, and then keep it warm for 5-10 hours;

[0042] Then, heat up to 850-890°C at a rate of 1-3°C / h and keep warm for 2-7h;

[0043] Finally, 1.1-1.5 Bar nitrogen is introduced into the vacuum heat treatment equipment to cool it to 50-60°C, and then it is taken out of the furnace and air-cooled.

[0044] Due to the localized uneven heat input during the welding process, the internal temperature field, stress field, and microstructural state of the workpiece change rapidly, which can easily lead to uneven elastic-plastic deformation, thereby generating various stresses during the welding process. Post-weld stress relief treatment through stress relief and normalizing can reduce the internal stress generated during welding, prevent deformation or cracking of the workpiece, improve the resistance of the weld joint to brittle fracture, and avoid delayed cracking. In addition, normalizing treatment is also performed after stress relief to improve the metallographic structure of the weld location, making the structure more uniform and further reducing the risk of weld cracking. At the same time, performing the stress relief and normalizing treatment in a vacuum heat treatment device can also promote the degassing effect of the vacuum heat treatment on hydrogen and oxygen, improving the quality of the weld and reducing the risk of cracking.

[0045] Step 4) performing a performance heat treatment including quenching and tempering on the welded impeller.

[0046] Among them, the quenching treatment of performance heat treatment includes loading the welded impeller after stress relief and normalizing treatment into a furnace at 500℃, heating it to 840~880℃ at a rate of ≤100℃ / h, keeping it warm for 2~7h, then taking it out of the furnace and oil cooling it to 200~300℃ and then oil cooling it in air.

[0047] Among them, the tempering treatment of the performance heat treatment includes charging the welded impeller after quenching treatment into an air furnace at ≤350°C, heating it to 560-640°C at a rate of ≤70°C / h, keeping it warm for 3-10h, and then air cooling it to room temperature.

[0048] By performing a performance heat treatment including quenching and tempering on the welded impeller after stress relief treatment in a vacuum heat treatment device, the mechanical properties of the welded impeller can be made to meet the use requirements.

[0049] The present invention provides a method for improving the low-temperature performance and welding quality of a 25Cr2Ni3Mo steel impeller weld. Through the above-mentioned processing method, the final 25Cr2Ni3Mo steel welded impeller can have a complete weld after welding without cracking while meeting high weld yield strength requirements and low-temperature impact energy of the weld and heat-affected zone, thereby greatly improving the low-temperature performance and welding quality of the 25Cr2Ni3Mo steel impeller weld.
