AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The existing bearing rings made of W9Cr4V2Mo steel have a long heating time during forging, resulting in high deformation resistance and easy cracking. It is difficult to achieve large deformation and carbide breakage without producing forging defects.

Method used

The material is heated to 1160~1180℃ in a high-temperature box-type resistance furnace and held for 4~4.5 hours. Then, it is cooled to 895~905℃ and loaded into the furnace. The furnace is then heated to 1160~1180℃ and held for 0.25 times the diameter of the material. This increases the heating temperature and shortens the holding time.

Benefits of technology

It reduces the total forging heating time, improves the plasticity of forgings, avoids problems such as coarse grains and overheating, and meets the requirement of average grain size ≥ 7.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of bearing part forging. BACKGROUND

[0002] A certain type of bearing ring in China adopts W9Cr4V2Mo steel which is similar to Russian system material. The material belongs to ledeburite tool steel, and contains a large amount of alloy elements such as W, Cr and Mo. The eutectic primary carbide in the steel is in the form of fishbone, and the carbide is unevenly distributed. Therefore, it is necessary to deform the material by forging to fully break and disperse the primary carbide. In addition, due to the high carbon and high alloy, the plasticity is low and the deformation resistance is large, which leads to the fact that cracks are easily generated in the forging process. The conventional ledeburite tool steel needs to be preheated for a long time before the forging process to reduce the deformation resistance of the material and realize the forging forming.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to find a reasonable forging heating process to shorten the forging heating time, reduce the deformation resistance of the steel in the forging deformation process, improve the plasticity, and solve the problem that both large deformation and crack-free deformation of the forged piece are required in the forging process.

[0009] IV. After the keeping time in step III is over, take out the treated bar and forge it to obtain a forged piece.

[0010] Further, the material of the bar in step II is W9Cr4V2Mo steel.

[0011] Further, the average grain size of the forged piece obtained in step IV is ≥7 levels.

[0012] Further, the rod diameter Φ in step three is 20-150 mm.

[0013] The present application has the following advantages:
