(1) the main elements are as follows:
si (35%): the main components of the inoculant can reduce the solubility of carbon in austenite, promote graphite nucleation, change the form and the refining degree of graphite, and prevent the content from being too low, otherwise white cast can be generated;
v (6-7%): the graphite and the matrix are refined to promote the formation of pearlite, but the white cast is generated when the V content is too high, and the cost is increased;
mn (1.5-2.5%): dissolving in matrix and carbide to form a large amount of crystal cores, inhibiting the formation of ferrite, refining pearlite, improving inoculation effect, and preventing the content from being too high;
cr (5.2-6.4%): belongs to anti-graphitization elements, refines pearlite, and can improve the hardness and the wear resistance of the gray cast iron by adding a proper amount of Cr.
(2) Trace elements:
ca (0.4-0.6%): trace elements and strong desulfurizer are favorable for graphite nucleation;
n (2.0-2.4%): the graphite flake has the advantages that the length of the graphite flake can be shortened, the bending degree is increased, the end part is passivated, a small amount of nitrogen can stabilize pearlite and inhibit the generation of ferrite, and if the content of N is high, the generation of D-type graphite and nitrogen pores can be promoted;

Zn (0.2%): when the content is extremely low, the formation of graphite can be promoted, pearlite can be stabilized and refined, the mechanical property and the service performance are improved, and the white cast tendency is increased due to the higher content.
The synergistic effect is as follows:
the vanadium-manganese-chromium inoculant containing scandium and yttrium for the high-strength gray cast iron contains elements such as Si, V, Mn, Cr, N, Ca, Sc, Y, Zn and the like, and the elements have synergistic action. Mn can form MnS with S to become the core of graphite, promote graphitization, strongly promote the formation of pearlite under the combined action of Cr, and improve the hardness and wear resistance of the gray cast iron; ca: can form a compound with O and S, and is more beneficial to graphite nucleation; a small amount of N and C can react with V to generate fine vanadium carbon nitrogen compounds, so that the dendrite number of primary austenite can be increased, a high amount of eutectic structure can be obtained, and the wear resistance of the casting can be obviously improved. Meanwhile, the combined action of Sc, Y and Zn can reduce the S and O content in the molten iron, purify the molten iron, passivate the tip of graphite, bend the graphite, facilitate the obtaining of fine and uniformly distributed A-type graphite and improve the strength and hardness of the gray cast iron.
The application case is as follows:
the vanadium-manganese-chromium inoculant containing scandium and yttrium, prepared in the embodiments 1 to 3, has good inoculation capability, wherein the inoculant prepared in the embodiment 1 has the best effect, and the vanadium-manganese-chromium inoculant containing scandium and yttrium for high-strength gray cast iron can promote graphitization of gray cast iron, improve the eutectic structure number in a matrix, improve the tensile strength and hardness of gray cast iron, is beneficial to obtaining fine and uniformly distributed A-type graphite, passivate the tip of graphite, simultaneously inhibit the chilling tendency, improve the wear resistance, strength and hardness of gray iron, and properly improve the cutting processability.
Taking the example 1 as an example, drying a certain proportion of pig iron scrap, and then carrying out medium-frequency induction smelting at 100KW (200-1000 Hz), wherein the tapping temperature of molten iron is 1480-1500 ℃ for ensuring good fluidity and filling property of the molten iron; then, the liquid iron is inoculated in a ladle, the granularity of the ladle inoculant is 0.5 mm-7 mm, the adding amount of the ladle inoculant is 0.4 percent of the mass of the liquid iron, and the liquid iron is dried before use. And after the molten iron is fully inoculated, casting the molten iron into a resin sand sample with the diameter of phi 30mm multiplied by 300mm at 1360-1380 ℃ for cooling to obtain an optimized gray cast iron sample, setting the molten iron inoculated by the 72 ferrosilicon inoculant as a control group, and keeping the temperature of a smelting furnace and the casting temperature of the control group consistent with those of the optimized group. In order to ensure that the components of the gray cast iron meet the design requirements, a small amount of molten iron is taken to prepare a white sample before casting, a direct-reading spectrometer is used for component measurement, and the measurement results are as follows in the following table 1:
table 1 gray cast iron sample chemistry (wt.%)
Figure BDA0003493336880000081
The mechanical property test is carried out on the optimized group gray cast iron and the comparison gray cast iron sample, and the comparison result is shown in the following table 2:
TABLE 2 mechanical Properties of the gray cast iron samples
Figure BDA0003493336880000091
From table 2 it can be derived: tensile strength, brinell hardness and elastic modulus in the gray cast iron sample of the control group are lower, the number of eutectic cell structures in the optimized gray cast iron sample is obviously increased, the size is smaller and more uniform in distribution, the number of primary austenite dendritic crystals in the sample is increased, the dendrite spacing is reduced, secondary dendritic crystals are refined, the graphite form is more bent and smaller, meanwhile, the pearlite structure is more refined, and further the strength, the rigidity and the hardness of the gray cast iron are improved.
As shown in fig. 1, fig. 1(a) shows a control gray cast iron graphite structure, fig. 1(b) shows an optimized gray cast iron graphite structure, and the graphite in the control gray cast iron sample is a type a graphite and a type D graphite (about 10%), and is relatively long and is 3-4 grade. The graphite in the optimized group gray cast iron sample is A-type graphite, the shape of the graphite is more bent, the end part of the graphite is passivated, and the length of the graphite is 4-level, so that the shape of the graphite after the optimized group inoculation treatment is further improved, because Sc and Y in the inoculant can react with O, S to generate oxides and sulfides, and the nucleation of the graphite is increased.
As shown in FIG. 2, FIGS. 2(a) and 2(b) show the morphology of the matrix structure of the control gray iron sample, and FIGS. 2(c) and 2(d) show the morphology of the matrix structure of the optimized gray iron sample. The matrix structures of the optimized gray cast iron samples are pearlite and a small amount of ferrite, the inoculated and optimized structures are more refined, the content of the pearlite is increased by more than 98%, and the amount of the ferrite is reduced. This is because the addition of the Cr element in the inoculant of the optimized group, the element strongly promoting the formation of pearls, combined with other elements, leads to a reduction in the amount of white-bright ferrite in the matrix. Meanwhile, Mn element in the inoculant of the optimized group counteracts the effect of sulfur on hindering graphitization, promotes the formation of pearlite, refines the structure, reduces coarse lamellar pearlite, refines the pearlite structure and improves the wear resistance, strength and hardness of gray cast iron.
As shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 3(a) is the primary austenite dendrite morphology of the control gray cast iron specimen and FIG. 3(b) is the primary austenite dendrite morphology of the optimized gray cast iron specimen. The primary austenite dendrite spacing in the gray cast iron sample of the optimized group is larger, the number of the primary austenite dendrite spacing is smaller, a certain network structure is formed, and a small amount of N in the inoculant adopted by the optimized group can react with V to generate nitride, so that the number of the primary austenite dendrite spacing in the gray cast iron sample is increased, the space network structure is more complex, the dendrite spacing is reduced, secondary dendrite spacing is refined, the growth of graphite is hindered, the graphite form is more bent and finer, and the tensile strength and the hardness of the gray iron are improved.
As shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 4(a) shows the eutectic structure of the control gray cast iron sample, and FIG. 4(b) shows the eutectic structure of the optimized gray cast iron sample. The eutectic cell structure size in the gray cast iron sample of the control group is larger, and the number of eutectic cells is less; the number of eutectic structures in the optimized group of gray cast iron samples is obviously increased, the sizes of the gray cast iron samples are smaller, and the gray cast iron samples are distributed more uniformly. The reason is that the number of primary austenite dendritic crystals in the gray cast iron structure after the optimized group inoculation is increased, the nucleation of eutectic clusters can be promoted, and as the primary austenite dendritic crystals are relatively refined, the structure of the eutectic clusters is limited by space during growth, so that the eutectic cluster structure is refined, and the strength and the rigidity of the gray cast iron are improved.
The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned preferred embodiments, and any other products in various forms can be obtained by anyone in the light of the present invention, but any changes in the shape or structure thereof, which have the same or similar technical solutions as those of the present application, fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
