Description

A wear-resistant alloy composition and its application Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an alloy composition and its application, and more particularly to a wear-resistant alloy composition with an HRC hardness exceeding 60 and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Wear-resistant alloys are alloys developed to improve the wear resistance of mechanical equipment and are the most commonly used alloys for certain typical friction pairs. They need to have high hardness and wear resistance and are mainly used as tool steels (such as steels for rock drilling and crushing machinery) and bearing steels. Currently, the main types of wear-resistant alloys include nickel-chromium alloys, high-manganese alloys, tungsten carbide alloys, and nickel-tungsten alloys.

[0003] Powder metallurgy high-speed steel has a uniform microstructure and fine grains, eliminating the segregation that is unavoidable in cast high-speed steel. Therefore, it exhibits higher toughness and wear resistance than cast high-speed steel of the same composition. It also boasts advantages such as minimal heat treatment deformation, good forging and rolling properties, and excellent grinding performance, resulting in a comprehensive improvement in steel quality and performance. In the production of powder metallurgy high-speed steel, raw materials are first melted into molten steel with a stable composition. This molten steel is then atomized using high-pressure inert gas or high-pressure water, rapidly forming fine high-speed steel powder particles. These particles are then vacuum sintered, homogenized, annealed, and hot-forged into their final shape.

[0004] PM-9V from the United States is a high-performance powder metallurgy high-speed steel. By reducing the carbon and vanadium content, it improves the toughness and thermal shock resistance of the steel. It is suitable for use in low-alloy tool steels and hot work tool steels where high wear resistance is required, and is widely used in the manufacture of demanding tools and molds.

[0005] However, the heat treatment process for PM-9V differs significantly from that of common mold steels, requiring extremely high precision. Currently known heat treatment processes include vacuum heat treatment to achieve a uniform microstructure and fine grains, resulting in good wear resistance and high strength. However, the manufacturer has not explicitly disclosed the details of its heat treatment process, making it difficult for other manufacturers to obtain the corresponding wear resistance and strength properties. Currently, the MP-9V products offered by the manufacturer are all finished plates, tubes, bars, and other profiles, which are then processed into other products through cutting or machining. Therefore, finding alternative high-wear-resistant alloys and their processing methods remains of great significance.

[0006] In addition, with the development of technologies such as 3D printing, alloys that can be adapted to 3D printing are receiving more and more attention. High C content can bring high strength and other properties. However, it is generally believed in the field that C content exceeding 0.9% is not suitable for 3D printing or welding processes. This is because 3D printing is a layer-by-layer molding method, and alloys with such high C content have very poor welding performance and interlayer cracking will occur. Therefore, solving the weldability of high C content alloys is also a technical problem that the field has been hoping to solve. Summary of the Invention

[0036] Preferably, the 3D printing cladding thickness of the LMD or LENS is 0.01-3 mm / layer, more preferably 0.05-2.8 mm / layer, more preferably 0.1-2.5 mm / layer, more preferably 0.5-2.2 mm / layer, more preferably 0.8-2 mm / layer, more preferably 1-1.8 mm / layer, and more preferably 1.2-1.5 mm / layer.

[0047] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the DED 3D printing process of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0048] This invention provides a wear-resistant alloy composition, particularly an alloy composition suitable for 3D printing, especially for DED (Direct Energy Deposition) 3D processes such as LMD and LENS, as well as a method for preparing the wear-resistant alloy composition. To make the objectives, technical solutions, and effects of this invention clearer and more explicit, the invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

[0049] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be used interchangeably where appropriate. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products, or apparatuses. The term "at least" in this invention means greater than or equal to.

[0050] Carbon content is a major factor affecting microstructure. Carbon can form carbides with other elements, thereby increasing the hardness of the alloy. However, generally speaking, a carbon content exceeding 0.9 wt% is considered unsuitable for welding processes (such as welding surfacing and 3D printing) because the welding performance is poor and cracking occurs, especially in the case of 3D printing, where interlayer cracking is more likely to occur. This invention utilizes a high carbon content and a specific combination with other alloying elements to solve the problem of poor welding performance under high carbon content conditions. High wear-resistant and high-hardness alloys can be directly obtained through 3D printing, with a carbon content of 0.9-2.65 wt%.

[0051] Si can refine the matrix structure. Therefore, an appropriate amount of Si can also improve hardness and wear resistance. However, excessive silicon will reduce plasticity and toughness and reduce processing performance, making it easy to crack during 3D printing. Therefore, in this patent, the Si content is preferably controlled between 0.58 and 1.35 wt%.

[0052] Mn can improve carbon penetration, thereby improving the wear resistance and hardness of alloy steel. However, Mn will deteriorate the weldability of steel, causing cracks and other defects, which is not conducive to processes such as 3D printing and welding. Moreover, it will significantly increase brittleness, especially temper brittleness. In this patent, the Mn content is preferably controlled at 0.31-0.45wt%. Within this range, better hardness and wear resistance can be obtained, and the amount of precious metals such as Mo can be reduced.

[0053] Mo can improve the hardenability of steel, refine its microstructure, and enhance its strength and hardness. However, Mo promotes decarburization, shrinks the austenite phase region, introduces a ferrite phase, reduces toughness, and decreases thermal conductivity. Furthermore, Mo is expensive. In this patent, the Mo content is 0.25-1.25 wt%. Through the combination of other elements such as Cr, Si, Mn, V, and C, the Mo content is controlled at a low level, reducing the cost of the wear-resistant alloy.

[0054] Cr can induce the formation of a passivation film of ferrochromium oxide in carbon steel in oxidizing media, which is firmly bonded to the matrix structure, thereby increasing wear resistance and corrosion resistance. Furthermore, Cr can reduce the stacking fault energy of alloys. However, excessively high Cr content can lead to the precipitation of α-Cr. This patent recommends controlling the Cr content to 6.5-11.35 wt% to ensure that Cr exists in a solid solution state in the matrix. Simultaneously, the combination of Cr and Mo can reduce the amount of Mo used, thus lowering costs.

[0055] V can form hard, stable VC carbide particles, strengthening grain boundaries and intergranular spaces. It can also act as a grain refiner, reducing grain size and improving toughness and heat treatment performance. However, the formation of VC reduces alloying density, thereby decreasing hardness. In this patent, the V content is controlled between 7.15 and 12.65 wt%. Within this range, in addition to forming carbides with C, V can be compounded with other elements to solve cracking problems during 3D printing and welding, and reduce the amount of precious metals such as Mo used.

[0056] This application employs DED 3D printing processes such as LMD or LENS to achieve the 3D printing of the wear-resistant alloy composition. LMD is Laser Metal Deposition, and LENS is Laser Engineered Net Shaping. Referring to Figure 3, DED 3D printing uses coaxial feed powder material. Taking powder as an example, during the forming process, the wear-resistant alloy composition powder 2 is uniformly gathered onto the working plane of the workpiece 4 through a nozzle. Simultaneously, the laser beam 1 is coaxially coupled with the powder material and outputs, and the laser beam 1 is also focused on the powder material gathering point. The laser beam 1 heats the surface of the workpiece 4 to form a molten pool 3. The wear-resistant alloy composition powder 2 is sprayed into the molten pool 3, cladding and depositing. By moving the worktable or nozzle, the deposited clad entity can be obtained. Unexpectedly, the wear-resistant alloy composition of this application, combined with the above-mentioned DED 3D printing process, solves the problem of poor weldability of high C (above 0.9wt%) alloys. However, this composition cannot yet be used for SLM laser additive manufacturing because it is prone to cracking and cannot be formed under the conditions of this process. The specific principle is not yet clear.
