Description

Bearing steel for automobile hub and manufacturing method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to bearing steel, in particular to bearing steel for an automobile hub and a manufacturing method thereof.
Background
The automobile hub bearing has the functions of supporting the automobile body and guiding the wheels to rotate, and bears axial load and radial load. With the increasing use range and the increasing use amount of the automobile hub bearing unit, the automobile hub bearing unit has developed to the third generation nowadays, and the first generation is composed of a double-row angular contact bearing; the second generation has a flange used for fixing the bearing on the outer raceway, and the bearing can be simply sleeved on the wheel shaft and fixed by a nut; the third generation hub bearing unit adopts the matching of the bearing unit and the ABS of the anti-lock brake system. The hub unit is designed with an inner flange bolted to the drive shaft and an outer flange mounting the entire bearing together. The appearance of the third generation hub bearing makes the installation and maintenance of the hub bearing more convenient, and the performance requirement on the hub bearing steel is higher and higher.
The bearing steel for manufacturing the automobile hub bearing is generally medium carbon bearing steel, and if S55C is adopted, the chemical components are as follows: 0.52 to 0.58 percent of C, 0.15 to 0.35 percent of Si, 0.60 to 0.90 percent of Mn, less than or equal to 0.20 percent of Cr, less than or equal to 0.030 percent of P, less than or equal to 0.035 percent of S, less than or equal to 0.20 percent of Ni, less than or equal to 0.30 percent of Cu, and less than or equal to 0.35 percent of Ni and Cr.
With the development of forging technology, the automobile hub blank is heated by a conventional heating furnace (heating medium: natural gas or coal gas) + free die forging production process, and is developed into a hot forging production process for the bearing ring blank by a multi-station high-speed upsetting press.
The new high-speed upsetting forging process adopts an intermediate frequency induction heating furnace heating and tower forging process, wherein the tower forging process is to grind, expand and upset a single piece, then carry out tower forging, and then separate the single piece into an outer ring and an inner ring, grind, expand and punch the outer ring and limp holes in the inner ring. The novel high-speed upsetting-forging process has the advantages of high production efficiency, high dimensional accuracy, high material yield, good metal streamline distribution, grain refinement and improvement of the internal structure of metal, but has more strict requirements on the bearing steel material of the automobile hub. Still further, analysis and classification of defective wheel hub products returned by a certain qualified automobile brand market show that 5 common wheel hub bearing failure modes comprise fatigue failure, abrasion, corrosion, electric corrosion, plastic deformation and cracks. Therefore, the hub bearing steel must have fine and uniform grain hardness, corrosion resistance, high purity (including non-metallic inclusions, residual elements and gas), good upsetting performance and long die life, and particularly, the high-frequency quenching in the subsequent process is required to have not only the hardness of the raceway surface of 730-780 HV, but also a certain depth of a through hardening layer.
Chinese patent application No. 200710045281.2 and Chinese patent application No. 201610001624.4 are patent inventions of bearing steel for automobile hubs. Chinese patent application No. 200710045281.2 is a medium carbon bearing steel optimized on the basis of S55C, in which the range of carbon content is narrowed for obtaining a small difference in hardness of the rolling contact surface, the Al content is limited for refining the grain size and reducing Al2O3 type inclusions, and the harmful element Ti is controlled. The patent application No. 201610001624.4 is a carbon hub bearing steel for microalloy car, which is mainly added with Al element to refine grains except for limited application.
However, the corresponding fine grain effect cannot be achieved by simply adding Al to refine the grains; the hardness of the raceway surface of the hub bearing cannot be effectively improved due to the low carbon content of the existing automobile hub bearing steel, and the hardness deviation of the raceway surface of the hub bearing is larger than 50HV due to the overlarge carbon deviation between the center and the edge of the existing automobile hub bearing steel rod; the purity of the existing hub bearing steel is not well controlled, and particularly, the oxygen content and the titanium content are high, so that single spherical oxide and titanium nitride type inclusions exceed 27 mu m, and early spalling and failure of the rolling surface of the hub bearing are caused.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide automobile hub bearing steel and a manufacturing method thereof, wherein the bearing steel has the characteristics of corrosion resistance, fine crystal grains, high purity, excellent obdurability and the like; the automobile hub bearing steel has the tensile strength of 800-900 MPa, and can ensure that the hardness of a high-frequency quenching raceway surface reaches 730-780 HV, and the depth of a hardening layer of the raceway surface reaches 2.0-3.5 mm.
In order to achieve the purpose, the technical scheme of the invention is as follows:
the hardness requirement of the automobile hub bearing raceway surface after high-frequency quenching is 730-780 HV, the depth of a hardening layer of the raceway surface reaches 2.0-3.5 mm (excluding a grinding part), and the hardness deviation is less than or equal to 50 HV. To achieve the above technical indexes stably, the depth of the hardening layer and the uniformity of the structure need to be controlled. The main alloy elements C and Mn in component design need to be reasonably matched (considering the depth of a hardening layer and the wear resistance), and simultaneously, a hardenability element Mo is increased, AlN is controlled to be dispersed and precipitated in a crystal boundary, the growth of crystal grains is inhibited by controlling the purpose of Al and N elements, and Al is prevented from appearing2O3And TiN type inclusions appear. The alloy added with Mn and Cu elements is designed for the corrosion resistance of the hub bearing, and prevents the working surface from peeling caused by local pitting corrosion. The design in the aspect of grain size refinement also comprises the selection of the addition of Nb element, and the fine grains can be finally obtained by matching with the secondary grain refinement in the hub forging processThe tissue of (1).
Specifically, the automobile hub bearing steel provided by the invention comprises the following chemical components in percentage by weight: carbon: 0.58-0.61%; silicon is less than or equal to 0.15 percent; manganese: 0.87-0.95%; copper: 0.10-0.25%; molybdenum: 0.12-0.18%; chromium: 0.10-0.20%; sulfur is less than or equal to 0.015 percent; phosphorus is less than or equal to 0.015 percent; aluminum: 0.008-0.015%; oxygen is less than or equal to 0.0006 percent; nitrogen: 0.006-0.015%; hydrogen is less than or equal to 0.0001 percent; titanium is less than or equal to 0.0015 percent; the balance of iron and unavoidable impurities, and satisfies the conditions of 0.87 to 0.95% C% + Mn%/3 and 0.85 to 1.15% Al/N.
Further, it also includes niobium: 0.020-0.040%.
Also, the impurities include: pb is less than or equal to 0.002%, As is less than or equal to 0.04%, Sn is less than or equal to 0.005%, Sb is less than or equal to 0.004%, or Ca is less than or equal to 0.0010%.
In the composition design of the steel of the invention:
carbon: carbon element deteriorates toughness, however, carbon element is an important element for ensuring the strength and wear resistance of bearing steel, and in order to ensure that the hardness of a high-frequency quenching raceway surface reaches 730-780 HV, the depth of a hardening layer of the raceway surface reaches 2.0-3.5 mm, and the carbon content of 0.58-0.61% must be controlled in the automobile hub bearing steel.
Silicon: silicon can be dissolved in ferrite and austenite to increase the hardness and strength of the steel, but higher silicon in this steel grade can promote ferrite grain coarsening. The silicon content in the steel is controlled to be less than or equal to 0.15 percent.
Manganese: manganese can partially replace chromium to maintain strength, and manganese is a main element that can significantly improve hardenability. However, manganese has the disadvantage of promoting the growth of austenitized grains in the steel, and the content of manganese should be controlled. In the steel, the manganese content of 0.87-0.95% is added into the steel and is matched with carbon element, so that the hardness of a high-frequency quenching roller surface is ensured to reach 730-780 HV, and the depth of a hardening layer of the roller surface reaches 2.0-3.5 mm.
Mn and Fe form a solid solution, and the strength of ferrite and austenite is improved; mn makes the structure uniform and weak carbide forming elements enter cementite to replace part of Fe atoms. In addition, Mn also has the effect of improving the wear resistance. Therefore, through the research of the structure and the experiment of the calculated phase, the Mn content is controlled to be 0.87-0.95%, and the Mn content can play a corresponding role in the invention by being matched with other elements.
Chromium: chromium significantly increases strength, hardness and wear resistance, but simultaneously decreases plasticity and toughness. The chromium can improve the oxidation resistance and the corrosion resistance of the steel, and 0.10-0.20% of chromium is added into the steel.
Aluminum: aluminum is a deoxidizer and a grain refining element, but tests show that excessive Al tends to form Al2O3Non-metallic inclusions which are difficult to deform tend to become fatigue fracture sources, and impact resistance of the bearing is affected. The steel grade has the obvious technical characteristics that the finished product is controlled to be 0.010-0.015%.
Niobium: typical grain refining elements, and 0.020-0.040 percent of niobium is selected to improve the grain size of steel and obtain good toughness. However, too much niobium tends to cause the corresponding carbides to aggregate, resulting in a decrease in toughness.
Nitrogen: the nitrogen element is an important alloy element of the steel, the refined grain elements such as AlN formed by aluminum and nitrogen, NbCN formed by niobium and nitrogen are precipitated at the grain boundary to obtain the grain size of 7-9 grade, and the nitrogen content is controlled to be 0.0060-0.015 percent.
Copper: copper element is generally controlled as a harmful element because copper has a disadvantage that hot shortness is easily generated at the time of hot working, and particularly, copper content exceeding 0.5% is remarkably reduced in plasticity. Due to different smelting modes, the copper content in electric arc furnace smelting (the raw material is mainly scrap steel) is usually 0.10-0.20% without special control, and the copper content in converter smelting (the raw material is mainly blast furnace molten iron) is generally less than 0.05% and copper alloy is additionally added. The steel disclosed by the invention is added with 0.10-0.25%, so that the strength and toughness can be improved, and particularly, the atmospheric corrosion performance is improved. Multiple experiments in a laboratory show that 0.10-0.25% of copper can effectively improve the corrosion resistance of the automobile hub bearing, particularly reduce atmospheric pitting and reduce surface peeling of the bearing.
Molybdenum: the molybdenum element can refine the crystal grains of the steel, improve the hardenability and improve the mechanical property. Brittleness of the alloy steel due to fire can also be suppressed. In order to control the depth of a hardening layer of the raceway surface to reach 2.0-3.5 mm, the invention controls 0.12-0.18% of molybdenum to play a corresponding role.
Phosphorus, sulfur, titanium: the impurity elements in the steel can obviously reduce the plasticity and the toughness of the steel. Particularly, the harm of phosphorus and titanium is the largest, the sulfur is less than or equal to 0.015 percent, the phosphorus is less than or equal to 0.010 percent, and the titanium is less than or equal to 0.0015 percent. Meanwhile, lead, antimony, bismuth and oxygen are impurity elements in steel, and the content of the impurity elements is reduced as far as possible under the condition that technical conditions permit.
