Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of centrifugal casting, in particular to a three-layer bimetallic wear-resistant pipe and a casting method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The inner layer of the bimetallic centrifugal casting composite pipe is composed of high-chromium cast iron with high wear resistance and corrosion resistance, and the outer layer is composed of alloy steel or low-carbon steel with high toughness. Compared with traditional single-metal pipes, the bimetallic centrifugal casting composite pipe has a longer service life because it has the advantages of high toughness, high wear resistance and high corrosion resistance, and has been widely used in the industry.

[0003] There are currently two main centrifugal casting production processes for bimetallic wear-resistant pipes. One is to use an outer hot-rolled steel pipe and pour high-chromium cast iron metal liquid into the hot-rolled steel pipe. This process produces a bimetallic wear-resistant pipe without bonding force between the inner and outer layers, and there is a large shrinkage gap between the two layers. The high-chromium cast iron inner layer cannot be protected by the outer steel pipe. The second is to use double-liquid centrifugal casting to produce metallurgical bonding between the two layers. The bimetallic wear-resistant pipe produced by double-liquid centrifugal casting has the following problems: (1) The metallurgical bonding between the inner and outer layers is the result of the mixing of the inner high-chromium cast iron metal liquid and the outer molten steel. Since the degree of mixing of the inner and outer layers cannot be easily controlled each time, the C and Cr content of the inner layer of different wear-resistant pipes varies greatly. Finally, under the same heat treatment system, the hardness of the high-chromium cast iron varies greatly, resulting in a large difference in wear resistance; (2) While the high-chromium cast iron is being heated for heat treatment, the outer layer is also in a high-temperature austenitizing state. Sometimes, the heating temperature of the high-chromium cast iron needs to reach 1100-1120℃ to achieve the best wear resistance. At this temperature, the outer layer will be overheated, causing the austenite grains to become coarse, which will affect the mechanical properties of the outer steel layer; 3) When the pipe end is welded with a flange, the welding heat will be transferred to the inner layer, causing thermal stress and cracks in the inner layer; 4) Due to the metallurgical bonding between the inner and outer layers, if the inner hard and brittle high-chromium cast iron cracks due to fluid impact, the crack will extend to the outer layer under the action of fluid impact, thereby causing hidden dangers to the safe use of the wear-resistant pipe. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new centrifugal casting method to improve the quality of bimetallic wear-resistant pipes, increase their service life, and meet the urgent needs of the industry for high-performance and low-cost bimetallic wear-resistant pipes. SUMMARY

[0004] In view of the problems of unstable quality and short service life of existing bimetallic wear-resistant pipes, the present application provides a three-layer bimetallic wear-resistant pipe and a casting method thereof.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the technical scheme provided by the embodiments of the present application is: In a first aspect, the present application provides a three-layer bimetallic wear-resistant pipe, comprising an outer layer, an intermediate transition layer and an inner layer; wherein the outer layer and the intermediate transition layer are metallurgically combined, and the inner layer and the intermediate transition layer are non-metallurgically and seamlessly combined.

[0006] Compared with the prior art, the three-layer bimetallic wear-resistant pipe provided by the present application uses metallurgical combination between the outer layer and the intermediate transition layer, and the outer layer and the intermediate transition layer form firm chemical bonding through atomic mutual diffusion, which greatly enhances the overall strength of the pipe. In the use process, when the pipe is subjected to external force impact or internal pressure, the pipe can withstand higher pressure without deformation or rupture. In the alternating working conditions of high temperature heating and rapid cooling, the metallurgical combination can make the outer layer and the intermediate transition layer maintain good cooperation in the process of thermal expansion and contraction, and will not cause delamination due to thermal stress, thereby maintaining the stability of the pipe structure and ensuring the long-term stable operation of the pipe.

[0007] The inner layer and the intermediate transition layer are non-metallurgically and seamlessly combined, which has certain unique advantages while ensuring the close adhesion of the inner layer and the intermediate layer. The inner layer usually directly contacts the wear medium. In the long-term wear process, if the inner layer has local wear or micro cracks, since the non-metallurgical seamless combination is not as tightly connected at the atomic level as the metallurgical combination, the crack will encounter an obstacle formed by different combination mechanisms when expanding to the intermediate transition layer. This special combination interface can absorb the energy of crack propagation and change the direction of crack propagation, so that the crack is difficult to quickly penetrate the inner layer and develop deeply to the intermediate transition layer. In addition, when the wear-resistant pipe is welded in subsequent application, the welding heat will be transferred from the outer layer to the inside. Since the intermediate transition layer and the inner layer of high-chromium cast iron are seamlessly contacted, the thermal conductivity is much smaller than that of the mixed metallurgical combination. Therefore, the heat generated by the welding of the outer layer can be effectively prevented from being transferred to the inner layer in large quantities, thereby avoiding thermal stress cracks in the inner layer and further ensuring the integrity of the overall structure of the pipe, and greatly improving the service life of the pipe.

[0008] It should be noted that the non-metallurgical seamless combination in the present application refers to an interface without metallurgical combination, which is macroscopically seamless, not microscopically seamless. Metallurgical combination refers to the combination after the mixing of two metal liquids. The three-layer three-metal pipe is still defined as a bimetallic wear-resistant pipe in the present application, mainly because the present application still mainly utilizes the mechanical properties of the outer layer and the wear-resistant properties of the inner layer, and the intermediate layer is only designed to solve the drawbacks of the bimetallic wear-resistant pipe.

[0009] Further, the outer layer is low-carbon steel or low-alloy steel, the intermediate transition layer is pure iron, and the inner layer is high-chromium cast iron.

[0010] The low carbon steel or low alloy steel has good toughness and higher strength, and can effectively bear the pressure applied inside or outside the pipeline as the outer layer component, and can prevent brittle fracture of the pipeline when the pipeline is impacted, vibrated or affected by low temperature environment, and can also make the wear-resistant pipe have good formability, facilitating subsequent processing and use; the intermediate transition layer adopts pure iron, which can form good metallurgical bonding between the intermediate layer and the outer layer, ensure the strength and stability of the bonding interface, and also can better match the inner layer high chromium cast iron, the high chromium cast iron contains a large amount of chromium element, the chromium element has a certain affinity to iron, and the pure iron can provide a suitable bonding basis for the high chromium cast iron, promote the non-metallurgical seamless bonding between the inner layer and the intermediate transition layer, and in addition, the plasticity of the pure iron is good, and even if part of the cracks are combined due to atomic diffusion, the pure iron is not sensitive to the cracks, and can effectively prevent the crack propagation.

[0011] Further, the thickness of the transition layer is 2mm-3mm.

[0012] The suitable thickness can reasonably disperse the stress during the transmission from the outer layer to the inner layer. If the transition layer is too thin, the stress concentration phenomenon can be intensified, resulting in damage of the pipeline at the weak part; and if the transition layer is too thick, new stress problems can be generated in the transition layer itself.

[0013] In the second aspect, the application further provides a casting method of the three-layer bimetallic wear-resistant pipe, comprising the following steps: Step a: melting according to the required components of each layer of the wear-resistant pipe to obtain an outer layer metal liquid, an intermediate transition layer metal liquid and an inner layer metal liquid; Step b: introducing the outer layer metal liquid and a low-melting-point protective slag into a pipe mold for centrifugal casting, after the casting is completed, when the temperature of the low-melting-point protective slag is 1400℃-1500℃, the intermediate transition layer metal liquid is poured, the pouring temperature is not lower than 1590℃, after the pouring is completed, when the temperature of the surface of the intermediate transition layer is 1400℃-1500℃, the inner layer metal liquid is poured, the pouring temperature is 1420℃-1500℃, and the three-layer bimetallic wear-resistant pipe is obtained after cooling and solidification.

[0014] The casting method of the three-layer bimetallic wear-resistant pipe provided by the application pours the intermediate transition layer metal liquid at a protective slag temperature of 1400-1500 DEG C. The main reason is that the protective slag is in a liquid state at this temperature, and the outer layer molten steel is in a state of just solidifying or not completely solidifying, and the pouring temperature of the intermediate transition layer metal source is relatively high (not less than 1590 DEG C), which can cause the outer layer surface to melt just after solidification, thereby causing metallurgical bonding between the outer layer and the intermediate transition layer. When the surface temperature of the intermediate transition layer is 1400-1500 DEG C, the inner layer metal liquid is poured. At this time, the pure iron of the intermediate transition layer has been solidified and solidified, and the pouring temperature of the inner layer metal liquid is not much different from the surface temperature of the intermediate transition layer. Therefore, after the inner layer metal liquid is poured and enters the mold pipe, it is heated by the intermediate transition layer. This unique heat exchange process not only prevents the inner layer metal liquid from mixing with the transition layer, but also forms a special non-metallurgical bonding state with the transition layer. The heating of the high-temperature solid-state transition layer to the inner layer metal liquid and the reduction of the inner layer metal liquid to the transition layer temperature interact with each other, optimize the performance of the bonding interface, ensure the close fit of the inner layer and the transition layer, and avoid performance degradation caused by excessive melting, thereby further improving the wear resistance of the inner layer of the pipe and the reliability of the overall structure.

[0015] Further, the low-melting-point protective slag has a melting point of 1200-1300 DEG C. The low-melting-point protective slag is added in an amount of 0.5-1.5% of the mass of the outer layer metal liquid.

[0016] Specifically, the chemical composition of the low-melting-point protective slag is as follows: CaO: 34.1%, SiO2: 29.8%, Al2O3: 2.51%, CaF2: 7.94%, Na2O: 14.57%, MgO: 2.51%, and BaO: 8.57%.

[0017] It should be noted that, during the pouring process, the temperature of the protective slag and the temperature of the surface of the intermediate transition layer, etc. can be measured by using a chemical outer high-temperature temperature gun.

[0018] In addition, inert gas is introduced into the pipe mold during the entire pouring process to protect the pouring. The inert gas can be nitrogen, argon, etc.

[0019] For example, the inner layer metal liquid and the outer layer metal liquid in the application can be poured by using the existing double ladle for centrifugal pouring. The pouring can be performed from one end of the pipe mold. The intermediate transition layer is poured by using a single tundish for centrifugal pouring, and the pouring is performed from the other end of the pipe mold.

[0020] Further, before the outer layer metal liquid is discharged into the ladle, an alloy is added to the bottom of the ladle, the alloy is covered with low-melting-point protective slag, a deoxidizer is then added, the metal liquid is discharged, nitrogen gas is introduced into the bottom of the ladle for stirring after the discharging is completed, and then the pouring is performed.

[0021] When pouring the outer layer, the outer layer metal liquid and the protective slag are mixed and poured, when the outer layer metal liquid and the low-melting protective slag are poured into the pipe mold for centrifugal casting, under the action of centrifugal force, the liquid low-melting protective slag begins to float up, in this process, the protective slag purifies the outer layer molten steel in contact with it, removes impurities therein, and ensures the purity of the outer layer molten steel; with the progress of the centrifugal casting process, the intermediate transition layer pure iron metal liquid and the inner layer high-chromium cast iron metal liquid are poured in turn, in the whole pouring process, the low-melting protective slag remains liquid, and due to the continuous action of centrifugal force, it continuously floats up and penetrates through the transition layer and the inner layer metal liquid, and also purifies the transition layer pure iron metal liquid and the inner layer high-chromium cast iron metal liquid, removes impurities therein, and improves the purity of each layer of metal liquid, thereby laying a solid foundation for finally forming a high-quality three-layer double-metal wear-resistant pipe.

[0022] Further specifically, the alloy is VFe, TiFe and NbFe. Adding V, Ti and Nb to the outer layer metal liquid can form carbonitride to pin austenite crystals, avoiding overheating of the austenite grains. Covering the alloy surface with protective slag can improve the alloy yield, and after the molten steel is tapped, nitrogen gas is introduced into the ladle for stirring, which can increase the nitrogen content in the molten steel and promote the formation of nitrides while purifying the molten steel.

[0023] Further specifically, the deoxidizer is aluminum block.

[0024] Further, when the outer layer metal liquid is poured, aluminum wires are fed into the metal stream and melted with the stream.

[0025] When the outer layer metal liquid is poured, aluminum wires are fed into the stream, which can produce aluminum oxide in the molten steel, pin the grain boundaries after solidification, and avoid overheating of the outer layer steel in the subsequent heat treatment process.

[0026] Further, the pouring superheat of the outer layer metal liquid is not less than 70℃, the rotation speed of the pipe mold is not less than 100G, and the temperature of the pipe mold is 200℃-300℃.

[0027] Further, the pouring speed of the outer layer metal liquid and the intermediate transition layer metal liquid is not less than 15kg / s, and the pouring speed of the inner layer metal liquid is not less than 5kg / s.

[0028] Further, after the pipe blank is demolded, it is kept at 1100℃-1150℃ for 1.5h-2h, air-cooled, then heated to 240℃-260℃ for 2h-3h, air-cooled, to obtain a three-layer double-metal wear-resistant pipe.

[0029] The three-layer bimetallic wear-resistant pipe provided by the application has metallurgical combination of the outer layer and the intermediate transition layer and non-metallurgical seamless combination of the inner layer and the intermediate transition layer, which jointly form an organic whole. When the pipe is subjected to complex working conditions, the two combination modes cooperate with each other, the metallurgical combined part guarantees the strength and stability of the whole pipe and resists external large stress, and the non-metallurgical seamless combined part mainly deals with the crack hidden danger caused by the inner layer wear and reduces the crack expansion risk through the unique combination characteristics. The two different combination modes improve the performance of the pipe in all directions through the synergistic effect, so that the three-layer bimetallic wear-resistant pipe can maintain a good working state under various harsh conditions, significantly prolongs the service life, and has higher reliability and economy compared with the traditional pipe.

[0041] The casting method of the three-layer double-metal wear-resistant pipe provided by the embodiment of the application has the following beneficial effects: 1) The stability of the inner layer high-chromium cast iron composition is ensured: the high melting point, good plasticity and toughness and crack insensitivity of the transition layer pure iron are fully utilized, because the melting point of the industrial pure iron is high, the pouring temperature is high, therefore, the transition layer can remelt the outer layer, but the inner layer liquid metal cannot remelt the transition layer, in this way, the transition layer and the outer layer are metallurgically combined to become an integrated whole, the inner layer and the transition layer are combined through shrinkage and high-temperature atomic diffusion, belong to interface seamless contact, and the binding force is weak, thereby ensuring the stability of the inner layer high-chromium cast iron composition, and making a composition preparation for the hardness consistency after heat treatment.

[0042] 2) The overheating of the outer steel layer is avoided: the carbonitride of V, Nb and Ti, and the microparticle alumina of the outer steel layer are used to pin the grain boundary, avoid the austenite grain from growing into coarse grains, and effectively prevent the overheating organization of the outer steel layer.

[0043] 3) Good wear-resistant pipe performance: heat treatment not only homogenizes the inner high-chrome cast iron, but also homogenizes the outer steel layer, improves the as-cast structure, and improves the performance of the wear-resistant pipe.

[0044] 4) Avoid welding thermal stress cracks: if the outer layer is 16Mn or Q235A, the flange or clamp connection can be welded, when the welding heat is transmitted to the inner layer, the transition layer is in seamless contact with the inner layer, and the thermal conductivity is much smaller than that of the mixed melting metallurgical bonding. When the outer layer is welded, the heat can be transmitted to the inner layer to avoid thermal stress cracks in the inner layer.

[0045] 5) Prevent the extension of the inner layer cracks to the outer layer: the transition layer and the inner layer belong to the interface seamless contact, not mixed melting metallurgical bonding. The inner layer cracks stop at the interface, even if part of the cracks will be expanded due to the combination of atomic diffusion, but the transition layer is pure iron material, with excellent plasticity and toughness, and is not sensitive to cracks, which can prevent the expansion of cracks.

[0046] 6) Long service life of wear-resistant pipe: although the inner high-chrome cast iron and the transition layer are not metallurgically bonded, they form an interface seamless contact between them, and the high-chrome cast iron layer is still supported and protected by the outer layer and the transition layer. Even if cracks occur, they will not fragment and fall off, and can still work in a wear-resistant state.

[0047] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and is not intended to limit the present application.
