The invention relates to a heat treatment process for EN26 shaft products, which combines the multi-step and large-section size shape of an EN26 shaft, takes the large step at the
tail end as a symmetric base point before heat treatment, is designed according to the double-length size, and adopts the
modes of low-temperature preheating, high-temperature normalizing,
air cooling after normalizing and
tempering after
forging to effectively
cut off the structure inheritance. The method solves the problem of
mixed crystal or coarse
crystal grains caused by non-equilibrium structures due to weaving inheritance, promotes
pearlite with small interlamellar spacing to be converted into
austenite structures through a rapid heating and repeated austenitizing mode, improves the
nucleation rate so as to achieve the effect of refining the grain size, and improves the grain size through reasonable
quenching cooling strength. According to the method, the
structural transformation from high-temperature
austenite to
martensite is guaranteed, the risk of product
cracking caused by overlarge thermal stress and
structural stress is avoided, the overall stability of a
forge piece is guaranteed through high-temperature
tempering, the strength,
plasticity,
toughness and
hardness are well matched, the overall quality and production efficiency of the EN26 shaft produced through the method are improved, and the production cost is reduced. And after finish
machining, single-length sawing and delivery are carried out.
