TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of alloy materials, and particularly relates to an austenitic heat-resistant stainless steel material and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The CrNi austenitic heat-resistant stainless steel material widely used in the current internal combustion engine industry refers to an austenitic structure at room temperature, no phase change at high temperature, and strong high-temperature oxidation resistance, wherein Ni is the main austenite-forming element, and Cr reacts with O to form a Cr2O3 passivation film to effectively resist high-temperature oxidation.

[0003] With the gradual approach of the "national seven" emission standard, in order to meet the new emission standard, the engine of the fuel vehicle has to be greatly adjusted or the emission system is optimized, which will lead to the increase of the production cost of the fuel vehicle, but the fuel vehicle is also subject to the fierce competition of new energy vehicles in terms of pricing, so the production cost control of the fuel vehicle becomes unprecedentedly important. At present, the turbine supercharger shell casting for passenger vehicles mainly adopts the CrNi austenitic heat-resistant stainless steel material, wherein GX40CrNiSi22-10 (suitable for 1000 DEG C extreme working condition) is widely used in the production of turbine supercharger shell and exhaust manifold of high-end hybrid fuel vehicles, and the Ni content reaches 10%, and the cost of the metal material is as high as 21.2 yuan / kg (the price of Ni is calculated as 100 yuan / kg). SUMMARY

[0004] The application aims to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art and provide an austenitic heat-resistant stainless steel material and a preparation method and application thereof. The application provides a new low-cost CrMnNi austenitic heat-resistant stainless steel material, which has high-temperature strength, creep resistance, oxidation resistance and thermal fatigue resistance comparable to GX40CrNiSi22-10, can replace GX40CrNiSi22-10 for the production of automobile turbine supercharger shell castings, can reduce the use amount of valuable metal Ni, and thus reduce the production cost of the turbine supercharger.

[0005] To achieve the above technical purposes, the technical scheme adopted by the embodiments of the application is as follows: In a first aspect, the embodiments of the present application provide an austenitic heat-resistant stainless steel material, which comprises the following components in terms of mass fraction: C 0.40%-0.50%, Si 1.80%-2.10%, Mn 10.00%-11.00%, P≤0.05%, S≤0.01%, Cr 20.00%-21.50%, Ni 1.50%-3.0%, Mo 0.20%-0.30%, Co 0.05%-0.20%, V 0.05%-0.20%, Nb 0.15%-0.30%, N 0.17%-0.23%, total amount of other trace elements≤1.0%, and the balance being Fe.

[0006] In a second aspect, the embodiments of the present application provide a preparation method of the austenitic heat-resistant stainless steel material of the first aspect, which comprises the following steps: (1) batching: the raw materials comprise the following components in terms of mass percentage: 0.15%-0.35% carbon additive, 2.50%-3.50% 75 ferrosilicon, 13.00%-15.00% low-carbon ferromanganese, 34.00%-37.00% low-carbon ferrochrome, 1.50%-3.20% electrolytic nickel, 0.30%-0.55% molybdenum iron, 0.30%-0.50% niobium iron, 2.00%-4.00% chromium nitride, 0.06%-0.21% electrolytic cobalt, 0.05%-0.23% vanadium iron, and 35.00%-50.00% scrap steel; (2) smelting: the materials are grouped and weighed, the scrap steel is added into a smelting furnace, then power is supplied to heat, after the scrap steel is melted, the raw materials prepared in step (1) are sequentially added, the adding sequence is: low-carbon ferrochrome→electrolytic nickel, molybdenum iron, niobium iron, chromium nitride, electrolytic cobalt, vanadium iron, carbon additive→low-carbon ferromanganese→ferrosilicon, after the above materials are completely melted, the temperature in the smelting furnace is continuously increased to above 1650℃, a chemical composition analysis sample is taken, the chemical composition in the molten steel is analyzed by using a direct-reading spectrometer, and if an element in the spectral analysis result is not within the specified range, chemical composition adjustment is needed after calculation; The carbon content in the low-carbon ferromanganese meets the national standard GB / T3795-2014, and the C content is 0.15%-0.7%; the carbon content in the low-carbon ferrochrome meets the national standard GB / T5683-2024, and the C content is 0.15%-0.5%.

[0007] (3) deoxidation treatment: (3.1) In-furnace deoxidation: after the chemical composition of the molten steel is adjusted to be qualified, 0.1% to 1.0% of low-carbon ferromanganese by weight of the molten steel is added into the furnace, the particle size of the low-carbon ferromanganese is 10 to 30 mm; the power of the electric furnace is adjusted to be more than 30% of the rated power of the electric furnace, and the electric furnace is heated for 1 to 5 minutes, then the power of the electric furnace is adjusted to 0 kw, and the electric furnace stops heating, and is kept for 1 to 5 minutes, and a sufficient amount of deslagging agent is scattered on the surface of the molten steel to cover the furnace opening during the keeping; the content of manganese in the molten steel is high, and it is very easy to react with oxygen in the air to generate manganese oxide (the density of manganese oxide is 5.43 to 5.46 g / cm 3 , and the melting point is 1650℃), the low-carbon ferromanganese is not only a deoxidizer but also can supplement the oxidation loss of manganese elements in the furnace, and the oxidation of manganese is serious when the molten steel is heated, and a layer of paste-like molten manganese oxide will float on the upper surface of the furnace opening when the heating is stopped; (3.2) Covering deoxidation in ladle: after the molten steel is poured into a ladle, 0.1% to 0.4% of silicon carbide by weight of the molten steel is added on the surface of the ladle, and the particle size is 0.1 to 5 mm; The silicon carbide will decompose into carbon and silicon when it contacts with the high-temperature molten steel, and both the carbon and the silicon can react with the manganese oxide on the surface of the molten steel, among which the silicon dioxide generated by the deoxidation of silicon can react with the manganese oxide to generate low-density manganese silicate to float on the surface, and the carbon can reduce the manganese oxide and generate carbon monoxide gas; the silicon carbide covering on the surface of the molten steel during the transportation of the molten steel also plays a role in preventing the oxidation of the molten steel; (3.3) Stream deoxidation: after the molten steel is deslagged, the molten steel is poured, and 0.1% to 0.4% of a composite deoxidizer is added into the stream of the molten steel during the pouring to obtain an austenitic heat-resistant stainless steel material.

[0008] As the final deoxidation, the deoxidation products of the stream deoxidation will not be discharged from the molten steel, so the size of the deoxidation products is small and round, Ca and Ba can form compounds with oxygen and sulfur in the molten steel, the deoxidation effect is good, and the size of the compounds is mostly 1 to 5 μm, and the compounds are spherical, which will not cause adverse effects on the microstructure of the cast steel matrix; Zr and Al not only react with O but also react with N, and the high-melting-point compounds formed have a size of about 3 μm, which can refine the grains and improve the performance of the cast steel.

[0009] Further, in step (2), after the scrap steel is completely melted, low-carbon ferrochrome is added, and after the low-carbon ferrochrome is completely melted, electrolytic nickel, ferromolybdenum, ferro-niobium, chromium nitride, electrolytic cobalt, ferrovanadium, and a carbon additive are added, and then low-carbon ferromanganese is added, and when the low-carbon ferromanganese is completely melted, 75 ferrosilicon is added.

[0010] Further, in step (2), the time for adjusting the chemical composition of the whole molten steel is controlled to be within 20 minutes, so as to reduce the oxidation loss of Mn elements.

[0011] Further, in step (3.2), the composition of the silicon carbide meets the following conditions in terms of mass fraction: SiC≥90%, Fe2O3≤2.0%, and C≤3.5%.

[0012] Further, in step (3.3), the composite deoxidizer includes the following components in terms of mass fraction: Zr 3%~5%, Al 3%~5%, Ca 1%~5%, Ba 1%~5%, Si 50%~60%, and the balance being Fe.

[0013] Further, the austenitic heat-resistant stainless steel material has the following normal-temperature mechanical properties: tensile strength≥830MPa, yield strength≥540MPa, and elongation≥26%; 900℃ yield strength≥57MPa, and 1000℃ yield strength≥27MPa.

[0014] In a third aspect, the embodiments of the present application provide an application of the austenitic heat-resistant stainless steel material of the first aspect, and the austenitic heat-resistant stainless steel material is used to prepare a turbocharger housing casting.

[0015] In a fourth aspect, the embodiments of the present application provide an application of the austenitic heat-resistant stainless steel material of the first aspect, and the austenitic heat-resistant stainless steel material is used to prepare an intake manifold casting.

[0016] The technical scheme provided by the embodiments of the present application has the following beneficial effects: The present application uses Mn to replace Ni to promote the formation of austenite, and the increase of C content and N content helps to achieve full austenitization of the base structure under the condition of low Ni content. N element has the effect of enhancing solid solution strengthening, so as to save the cost of metal materials. At the same time, the addition of various trace elements including Mo, Nb and V forms a large amount of dispersed carbides and nitrides to be dissolved in the austenitic matrix under the promotion of Mn element, thereby reducing the formation of C6 and the problem of chromium-poor grain boundary, so as to improve the high-temperature oxidation resistance of the new material. The various carbides and nitrides dispersed and dissolved in the austenitic matrix have the effect of refining the austenite grains, improving the tensile strength, yield strength and elongation of the material, and improving the high-temperature stability of the austenitic matrix. The large amount of carbides and nitrides dissolved in the austenitic matrix reduces the content of carbides and nitrides on the grain boundary, and the material has good machining performance. 23 The dispersed and dissolved carbides and nitrides in the austenitic matrix have the effect of refining the austenite grains, improving the tensile strength, yield strength and elongation of the material, and improving the high-temperature stability of the austenitic matrix. The large amount of carbides and nitrides dissolved in the austenitic matrix reduces the content of carbides and nitrides on the grain boundary, and the material has good machining performance.

[0039] Table 1 Austenitizing element mass content and nickel equivalent in Examples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1-2 , In Table 1, the historical empirical formula is optimized by correlation analysis and regression analysis, and the nickel equivalent calculation formula of the austenitizing degree corresponding to the mass content of each chemical element under the condition of adding trace elements such as Mo, Nb, N, Co, and V is obtained: Ni(eq)=1×Ni%+1.2×Co%+35×C%+20×N%+0.5×Mn%。

[0040] The nickel equivalent is an important index of the austenitizing degree of the metal structure of the reaction metal, and a higher nickel equivalent shows that the austenitizing degree is higher, and the stability of the metal matrix structure of the metal material under high temperature is higher, and the high temperature creep resistance is higher. As can be seen from Table 1, the nickel equivalent calculated shows that the austenitizing degree of GX43CrMnNi20-10-2 in Examples 1-6 is higher than that of GX40CrNiSi22-10.

[0041] Test scheme: two pieces of the same model turbocharger shell castings produced by the materials of Examples 1-6 and Comparative Example 1 were taken, weighed respectively, and then put into a muffle furnace heated to 1020℃, and the castings were taken out after 1 hour of heat preservation and cooled at room temperature. After 1 hour of cooling, the castings were again put into a muffle furnace at 1020℃, and the castings were weighed, and the results are shown in Table 1.

[0042] Table 2 Comparison of high temperature oxidation resistance test results of the materials in Examples 1-6 and Comparative Example , As can be seen from Table 2, the average oxidation loss of the castings made of the stainless steel materials of Examples 1-6 is lower than that of the castings made of the GX40CrNiSi22-10 material in Comparative Example 1, showing stronger oxidation resistance.

[0043] Table 3 Mechanical properties of stainless steel materials at room temperature and high temperature in Examples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 , As can be seen from the test results in the above table, the tensile strength and yield strength of the stainless steel materials of Examples 1-6 at room temperature and the high temperature yield strength at 900℃ and 1000℃ are all higher than those of GX40CrNiSi22-10, and the elongation is also greatly improved. Therefore, the material of the present application can completely replace GX40CrNiSi22-10 for the production of turbocharger shell and exhaust manifold castings under 1000℃ extreme working conditions.

[0044] Table 4 Cost accounting of different stainless steel materials (Ni is calculated at 100 yuan / kg) , As can be seen from Table 4, the average cost of the GX43CrMnNi20-10-2 stainless steel material in Examples 1-6 is 53% of that of the GX40CrNiSi22-10 stainless steel material in Comparative Example 1, which shows that the cost of the stainless steel material in the examples of the present application can be greatly reduced.

[0045] By Figure 1 and Figure 2As can be seen, the carbides and nitrides in the microstructure of the turbocharger housing cast body body sample produced in Example 1 are very fine and dispersed in the austenite matrix, and there are few carbides and nitrides on the grain boundaries. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The microstructure of the turbocharger housing cast body body produced in Comparative Example 1 shows that the carbides are mostly located on the grain boundaries and have a large size, and are in a network shape. Figure 5 and Figure 6 The microstructure of the turbocharger housing cast body body produced in Comparative Example 2 shows that the carbides and nitrides are mostly located on the grain boundaries and have a large size.
