Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of steel preparation, and more particularly to a 16Cr3NiWoMoVNbE steel hot-rolled bar and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] 16Cr3NiWoMoVNbE steel is a premium, high-quality structural steel, primarily strengthened by martensite and multi-element precipitation. It exhibits excellent hardenability, high tensile strength, and high toughness and ductility. It also exhibits outstanding high-temperature performance and can operate for long periods below 300°C. Therefore, 16Cr3NiWoMoVNbE steel is widely used in the manufacture of transmission gears for aircraft engines, meeting the high power, high speed, and high meshing temperature requirements of engine gear transmissions and possessing promising market prospects.

[0003] 16Cr3NiWoMoVNbE steel has a high degree of alloying, with carbide precipitation playing a dominant role in strengthening. Improper control of process parameters such as deformation amount, deformation rate, and temperature during hot working of steel bars can lead to uneven carbide microstructure distribution and fragmentation, abnormal grain growth during pressure deformation, and the finished product is prone to low-magnification coarse grains and mixed-grain defects, failing to meet technical standards and adversely affecting mechanical properties. Currently, bars with diameters of 20 to 89 mm are produced using hot rolling, exhibiting excellent physical and chemical properties. Bars with diameters of 90 to 130 mm are produced using a forging process, exhibiting severe low-magnification coarse grain defects.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a preparation and heat treatment method for 16Cr3NiWoMoVNbE steel bars to solve the problem of low-magnification coarse grains in Ф90-130mm bars and improve the stability of the mechanical properties of the steel. Summary of the Invention

The electroslag ingot is heated to 1030°C~1160°C for 3~4h, placed on a fast forging machine, and subjected to a fire of upsetting forging to form a square billet; S3. The forged billet is heated to 1150°C~1200°C and then hot-rolled in one heat after holding. The billet is then rough-rolled in a continuous rolling mill and finished. S4. Rolling uses the residual heat of hot rolling for straightening to avoid structural changes and abnormal grain size growth caused by reheating; S5. Air cool the hot-rolled and straightened black leather material to 700°C. After the surface color turns black, place it in a slow cooling box for ≥24h. S6. The black bark material after slow cooling is subjected to high-temperature tempering treatment to eliminate residual stress during thermal deformation, thereby obtaining 16Cr3NiWoMoVNbE steel hot-rolled bars.

[0009] To further optimize the technical solution, in step S1, the 16Cr3NiWoMoVNbE steel hot-rolled bar is cast at a high temperature of 1560°C to 1580°C.

[0010] To further optimize the technical solution, in step S2, the start forging temperature is ≥930°C, and the final forging temperature is ≥830°C.

[0011] To further optimize the technical solution, in step S3, during hot rolling, the starting rolling temperature is 1000°C to 1150°C, and the finishing rolling temperature is 900°C to 1000°C.

[0012] To further optimize the technical solution, in step S3, the hot rolling is performed once to form a finished product, with 10 to 15 passes, a deformation of 6% to 10% in each pass, and a total deformation of 70% to 90%.

[0013] To further optimize the technical solution, in step S4, the straightening temperature is 890°C to 990°C.

[0014] The technical solution is further optimized. In step S6, the tempering temperature is 650° C. to 720° C. and the time is ≥ 25 h.
