AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies for welding high-manganese steel liners for ball mills suffer from problems such as heat-affected zone brittleness, interface cracking, and difficulty in floating deoxidation products, resulting in insufficient wear resistance and impact resistance, making it difficult to meet the high-efficiency operation requirements of ball mills.
Using flux-cored welding wire containing high-carbon ferrochrome, micro-carbon ferrochrome, graphite, ferrosilicon, ferromanganese, ferrotitanium, ferromolybdenum, ferrovanadium, ferroboron, nickel powder, and calcium fluoride, the welding is automatically deposited by plasma arc. The welding parameters and shielding gas flow are controlled to form a low-dilution, non-peeling, impact-resistant and wear-resistant coating. The solid solution strengthening effect of nickel powder and the weak self-protection effect of calcium fluoride powder are utilized to alleviate interfacial stress and porosity.
This achieves a metallurgical bond between the high-manganese steel liner and the weld overlay, reducing the risk of interface cracking, improving wear resistance, enhancing impact wear resistance, reducing porosity, and ensuring the structural integrity and ease of installation of the liner.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of surface engineering technology, specifically relating to a flux-cored welding wire for welding high manganese steel liners with impact and wear resistance, and a welding method thereof. Background Technology
[0002] As a key piece of equipment in industries such as mining and metallurgy, ball mills are subjected to long-term intense impact and abrasive wear from steel balls, materials, and slurry on their inner walls, which are made of high-manganese steel. Traditional high-manganese steel liners, such as Mn13, with a thickness of 50-130mm, have excellent toughness (impact toughness ≥150J / cm²) and strong work hardening ability, with a hardness of up to HB500 after work hardening. However, in the initial stage of ball mill operation, the insufficient hardness leads to extremely rapid and severe impact and wear of the liner by the abrasive. This causes the liner dimensions to shrink prematurely, resulting in insufficient steel lifting capacity, which in turn leads to a decrease in ball mill efficiency and significantly substandard ball mill operating time. Therefore, frequent replacement of ball mill liners is necessary.
[0003] When existing open-arc automatic surfacing and submerged arc surfacing technologies are used for surfacing high-manganese steel, they often lead to carbide precipitation in the heat-affected zone, reducing impact toughness to <50J / cm², resulting in an extremely high risk of brittle fracture. The surfacing layer can also experience extensive cracking and spalling due to excessive welding stress. Furthermore, due to the large heat input, typically greater than 1.5kJ / mm, the substrate deformation is very severe and difficult to control. In addition, existing surfacing materials often focus on single wear resistance or impact resistance properties, making it difficult to meet the synergistic requirements of ball mill liners for a "high-strength and tough substrate + hardened wear-resistant layer."
[0004] Plasma cladding technology boasts advantages such as strong controllability of penetration depth, fast cladding speed, high production efficiency, and a metallurgically bonded interface between the substrate material and the cladding layer after cladding, resulting in high bonding strength. Furthermore, the cladding process is easily mechanized and automated. However, current research on plasma cladding technology for mining ball mill liners is limited, and most studies still utilize traditional Fe-Cr-C alloy systems for wear-resistant coatings, neglecting the issue of interface cracking between the high-manganese steel substrate and the cladding layer. Patent CN119057304A discloses a plasma cladding flux-cored wire resistant to high-stress impact wear and its preparation method. While the prepared cladding alloy exhibits high impact wear resistance, it does not address the impact of the cladding process on the deformation of the high-manganese steel liner and the cracking of the coating / substrate interface. In addition, although the plasma welding process uses full argon protection and does not require self-protection, in actual production, the large shielding gas pressure often hinders the deoxidation products from floating out of the molten pool, resulting in increased porosity. Therefore, a small amount of calcium fluoride can be used to exert a weak self-protection effect to offset some of the influence of external gas pressure. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a flux-cored welding wire and a welding method for welding high-manganese steel liners on the inner wall of a ball mill cylinder, which achieves low dilution rate, no peeling, and micro-deformation welding of the impact-wear resistant coating on the high-manganese steel liner. Furthermore, the welding wire formulation overcomes the problems of brittle fracture in the heat-affected zone of high-manganese steel and the difficulty of deoxidation products in the weld layer floating out of the molten pool in the prior art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solution:
[0007] A flux-cored welding wire for welding high-manganese steel liners with impact and wear resistance includes an outer sheath and a flux core. The flux core is composed of the following raw materials in weight percentages, the sum of which is 100 wt%: 10-18 wt% high-carbon ferrochrome powder, 25-38 wt% micro-carbon ferrochrome powder, 0.5-2 wt% graphite powder, 1-2 wt% ferrosilicon powder, 1-4 wt% ferromanganese powder, 1.5-3 wt% ferrotitanium powder, 1-5 wt% ferromolybdenum powder, 1-4 wt% ferrovanadium powder, 0.5-5 wt% ferroboron powder, 0.3-1 wt% calcium fluoride powder, 0.5-2 wt% nickel powder, with the remainder being reduced iron powder.
[0008] Furthermore, the outer sheath is a low-carbon cold-rolled steel strip, and the welding wire is made by cold-rolling and drawing to wrap the flux core with the outer sheath.
[0009] Furthermore, its diameter is 2.4–3.2 mm, and its filling rate is 42–50%.
[0010] A welding method for welding high manganese steel liners, using the above-mentioned flux-cored welding wire for welding high manganese steel liners with impact and wear resistance;
[0011] Step 1: Pre-treat the surface of the high manganese steel liner to remove oil and rust from the workpiece surface;
[0012] Step 2: Place the above-mentioned flux-cored welding wire in a heating furnace for drying and dehumidification;
[0013] Step 3: The welding equipment used is an automatic plasma arc welding machine. The welding process parameters include: welding current 135-180A, welding speed 350-650mm / min, wire feed speed 1800-2200mm / min; the wire feed method is off-axis wire feed.
[0014] Step 4: During the plasma cladding process, the surface temperature of the high manganese steel liner plate 5cm away from the molten pool needs to be controlled within the range of 150-280℃.
[0015] Furthermore, in step 3, both the compressed gas and the protective gas are argon with a purity of ≥99.99%, the flow rate of the compressed gas is 3-7 L / min, and the flow rate of the selected protective gas is 5-12 L / min.
[0016] Further, in step 2, the above-mentioned flux-cored welding wire is placed in a heating furnace at 150-250°C for 1-2 hours to dry and dehumidify.
[0017] Furthermore, the microstructure of the high-manganese steel liner after plasma cladding consists of an iron-based solid solution and a multi-component reinforcing phase uniformly distributed therein.
[0018] Furthermore, the hardness of the weld overlay of the high manganese steel liner after plasma welding reaches 55-62 HRC, and its wear resistance against impact wear is 1.44-1.88 times that of the original high manganese steel liner.
[0019] This invention addresses the interface compatibility issue between high-manganese steel liners and weld overlays by introducing 0.5–2 wt% nickel powder for solid solution strengthening. Nickel atoms dissolved in the γ-Fe matrix effectively reduce the coefficient of linear expansion of the weld overlay itself, alleviating interfacial stress generated during cooling due to the difference in thermal expansion between the coating and the substrate, thereby suppressing the tendency for interfacial cracking. However, excessive nickel powder addition increases manufacturing costs and leads to lower hardness in the weld overlay. Furthermore, the addition of 0.3–1 wt% calcium fluoride powder to the flux core decomposes at the high temperature of plasma welding, generating trace amounts of active gas, forming a weak self-protective effect. This partially offsets the hindering effect of the applied argon protective pressure on the flotation of deoxidation products in the molten pool, ensuring the smooth escape of Si and Mn deoxidation products and reducing the porosity of the weld overlay to 0.5–0.8%. The weld overlay microstructure consists of an iron-based solid solution and a uniformly distributed multi-component strengthening phase, resulting in good impact and wear resistance. By controlling the heat input of the welding process, the surface temperature of the high-manganese steel liner plate 5cm away from the molten pool is controlled at 150-280℃. The weld layer and the substrate are metallurgically bonded with no cracks at the interface. The overall deformation of the high-manganese steel liner plate is ≤2mm, achieving a balance between wear resistance improvement of more than 1.4 times and structural integrity.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are:
[0021] 1. This invention provides a flux-cored welding wire for welding high-manganese steel liners on the inner wall of a ball mill cylinder, which can fully utilize the solid solution strengthening effect of Fe and Ni to effectively alleviate cracking at the coating / substrate interface caused by the difference in linear expansion coefficients.
[0022] 2. The present invention adds a small amount of calcium fluoride powder (≤1wt%) to the flux-cored welding wire to achieve a weak self-protection effect. This can generate a protective gas in the molten pool to offset part of the external protective gas pressure and ensure that the deoxidation products float out of the molten pool normally, while also effectively preventing the porosity of the molten pool from exceeding 1%.
[0023] 3. By controlling the welding process, this invention ensures a low deformation of the high-manganese steel substrate (≤2mm), which facilitates its subsequent installation inside the ball mill cylinder.
[0024] 4. The single-layer (approximately 3 mm thick) plasma overlay coating prepared by this invention exhibits a good metallurgical bond with the substrate, and the coating hardness reaches 55-62 HRC, thereby improving the impact and wear resistance of the liner material.

Generally, wire feed speed and welding speed are positively correlated, that is, a higher wire feed speed will result in a higher welding speed. Therefore, the welding speed is not listed. The other parameters are the same as in Example 5. The comparative results are shown in the table below:
[0104]
[0105] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 The figures show the longitudinal deformation of the high-manganese steel liner before and after plasma welding in Embodiment 5 and Comparative Example 1, respectively. Comparative Example 1 shows a larger deformation. Before plasma welding, the original high-manganese steel liner's edges were warped upwards by 20.0 mm from the horizontal line. Figure 6 As shown.
[0106] Comparative Example 4
[0107] No calcium fluoride powder was added; otherwise, it was the same as in Example 1.
[0108] The longitudinal deformation before and after plasma cladding is 1.4 mm.
[0109] The coating hardness, measured using a Rockwell hardness tester, is 53.2 HRC.
[0110] like Figure 7 As shown, the porosity of the weld overlay is 2.7%.
[0111] The impact wear test was the same as in Example 1. The results showed that the high manganese steel liner lost 1.1198g of weight during impact wear, while the high manganese steel liner with the weld overlay lost 0.8875g of weight during impact wear. The wear resistance of the impact wear was only 1.26 times that of the original. This is because the substrate around the pores in the weld overlay is more susceptible to abrasive particles and peels off during the wear process.
[0112] Comparative Example 5
[0113] Add 2.8 wt% calcium fluoride powder, and the rest is the same as in Example 1.
[0114] The longitudinal deformation before and after plasma cladding is 1.4 mm.
[0115] The coating hardness, measured using a Rockwell hardness tester, is 54.7 HRC.
[0116] like Figure 8 As shown, the porosity of the weld overlay is 2.3%.
[0117] The impact wear test was the same as in Example 1. The results showed that the impact wear loss of the high manganese steel liner was 1.1207g, while that of the high manganese steel liner with the weld overlay was 0.8336g. The impact wear resistance was only 1.34 times that of the original.
[0118] Comparative Example 6
[0119] Without adding nickel powder, the rest is the same as in Example 2. Figure 10 As shown in the comparison of the weld overlay / substrate interface in Example 6, cracks can be seen at the interface, which is related to... Figure 2 The contrasting weld overlay / substrate interface in Example 2 demonstrates the effectiveness of adding nickel powder.
[0120] The above comparative experiments demonstrate the beneficial effects of the welding process provided by this invention in preparing well-formed coatings and controlling deformation of high-manganese steel liners.
