The invention discloses a method for refining and homogenizing
crystal grains of a 9%-12% Cr steel thick-wall large
forge piece, and belongs to the field of
ferrous metallurgy. According to the method, the large
forge piece is heated to be close to the critical point of the complete austenitizing temperature in a stepped mode, the large
forge piece is subjected to heat treatment by regulating and controlling dispersive
precipitation of carbides in an initial structure and uniform
nucleation of
austenite and / or introducing a small amount of undissolved ferrite, residual precipitated phases and multi-phase interfaces and controlling the
cooling speed;
nucleation particles of
pearlite transformation in the vibration heat preservation process are remarkably increased, uniform distribution of granular
pearlite in the supercooled
austenite is promoted, structural inheritance is
cut off and eliminated, and the purpose of grain refining and homogenizing after performance heat treatment is achieved. According to the method, the grains of the thick-wall large forge piece are refined to 5 grades or above, the cross section grain
size difference is within 2 grades, a series of problems that in the production process, grass
waves exist in ultrasonic flaw detection, the grain size is unqualified, and the low-temperature
impact toughness does not reach the standard can be solved, the product percent of pass and the production efficiency are remarkably improved, and meanwhile the production
energy consumption is reduced.
