Description

High-strength non-quenched and tempered steel for automobile crankshaft and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of ferrous metallurgy, and particularly relates to high-strength non-quenched and tempered steel for an automobile crankshaft and a preparation method thereof.
Background
In recent years, the automobile industry is rapidly developed, and the competition of manufacturing cost among enterprises is intensified day by day. Meanwhile, the requirements of the industry on the safety of automobiles, namely the performance of the structural materials for the automobiles, are higher and higher. At present, the traditional quenched and tempered structural component material with complex production process, high energy consumption and serious heat treatment defects is gradually replaced by non-quenched and tempered steel with simple production process, low energy consumption and few defects. The production of structural steel for automobiles by adopting a non-tempering process becomes an important breakthrough for improving the market competitiveness of automobile production enterprises.
The crankshaft is one of the core parts of an automobile engine, and the performance of the crankshaft determines the reliability and the service life of the engine to a great extent. The crankshaft has very bad service conditions, bears impact load and inertia force for a long time during working, and each part of the crankshaft generates alternating stress such as torsion, bending, tension and compression, shearing and the like. Therefore, the crankshaft should have good appearance quality and microstructure, and ensure sufficient strength, rigidity, toughness, wear resistance and good balance. For the quenched and tempered steel crankshaft, a large amount of energy is consumed in the heat treatment process, and the problems of oxidation, deformation, even cracking and the like in the part heating process are also caused. During heat treatment quenching, the crankshaft is often bent and distorted, the part requirements are difficult to meet through the straightening process, the precision of the processed crankshaft is insufficient, and the noise and vibration phenomena of an engine are caused. Non-quenched and tempered steel is increasingly popular with crankshaft manufacturers due to the advantages of low cost, energy conservation, environmental protection and the like. Among them, hardenability is one of important indexes of non-quenched and tempered steel, and it has a large influence on both the uniformity of structure and the performance. The medium-carbon and low-carbon manganese non-quenched and tempered steel has low hardenability and is not enough to meet the increasing requirements of automobile enterprises on material performance. In view of the above requirements, it is imperative to develop a non-heat treated steel for automobiles having a high hardenability fit. In addition, because the working environment of the crankshaft is very severe, the mechanical property of the material is further improved, which is an internal requirement of the automobile industry for non-quenched and tempered steel.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to solve the problems in the prior art and provides the non-quenched and tempered steel for the high-strength automobile crankshaft and the preparation method thereof.
The technical scheme adopted by the invention is as follows:
a high-strength non-quenched and tempered steel for automobile crankshafts comprises the following elements in percentage by mass:
0.35 to 0.45 percent of C, 0.25 to 0.35 percent of Si, 0.50 to 0.80 percent of Mn, 0.015 to 0.03 percent of Ta, 0.001 to 0.003 percent of B, 0.005 to 0.008 percent of S, less than or equal to 0.0013 percent of O, less than or equal to 0.023 percent of N, and the balance of Fe and inevitable impurities.
The preparation method of the non-quenched and tempered steel for the high-strength automobile crankshaft comprises the following steps of:
step (1), high-tension carbon smelting: controlling the carbon content of the converter tapping at 0.15-0.25%; controlling the tapping temperature to be 1620-1650 ℃;
step (2), tapping pretreatment: controlling the slag discharge amount of the converter during tapping; baking a steel ladle to 1150-1200 ℃ before tapping, adding 1/3-1/2 of the total slagging auxiliary materials into the steel ladle, and continuously baking to 1150-1200 ℃; when tapping to 1/4-1/3 of the liquid level, adding a deoxidizer A; adding a deoxidizer B when tapping to 1/2-3/4;
and (3) alloying low oxygen and nitrogen: removing oxygen in the steel to 30-50 ppm, and adding tantalum-iron alloy for alloying; removing N in the steel to 30-40 ppm, and adding ferroboron for alloying; preparing a casting blank after alloying;
step (4), deformation strengthening treatment: rolling a casting blank, wherein the rolling is divided into two stages, and when the first stage is rolled: the deformation temperature is 950-1100 ℃, and the deformation is 70-75% of the total deformation; during the second stage rolling: the deformation temperature is 850-900 ℃, and the deformation amount is 25-30% of the total deformation amount; and after rolling, keeping the temperature of the rolled material at 650-700 ℃ for 2-3 h, and after the temperature is kept, air-cooling the rolled material to room temperature to finish the processing.
Preferably, the converter slag control in step (2) is 3 to 5kg/t steel.
Preferably, the deoxidizer A is aluminum alloy ash.
Preferably, the deoxidizer B is a silicon-manganese alloy, wherein the ratio of the Si content to the Mn content is 2 to 4.
Preferably, the alloying temperature of the tantalum iron in the step (3) is 1640-1650 ℃.
Preferably, the tantalum-iron alloying process is performed in an LF furnace.
Preferably, the ferroboron alloying temperature in the step (3) is 1610 to 1620 ℃, and the alloying process is carried out after vacuum breaking by VD.
The invention has the following beneficial effects:
in the non-quenched and tempered steel for the high-strength automobile crankshaft, in order to improve the hardenability of the steel, the B is added in the component design, so that the hardenability of the steel can be obviously improved. In order to improve the strength of the steel, ta is introduced into the steel, and not only can be dissolved in the steel in a solid solution manner to achieve the solid solution strengthening effect, but also is a strong carbonitride forming element; since the mass fraction of Ta is relatively large and the diffusion coefficient thereof in steel is relatively small, the nucleation work of the carbonitride containing Ta is relatively large, and the size of the precipitates is very fine.
According to the preparation method of the non-quenched and tempered steel for the high-strength automobile crankshaft, the oxygen content in the steel can be effectively reduced by adopting high-tensile carbon smelting, and the burden of subsequent deoxidation is reduced; the oxygen content in the steel is reduced, the added deoxidizer is relatively reduced, the amount of non-metallic inclusions generated by deoxidation in the steel is reduced, and the purification of molten steel is facilitated. The reduction of the oxygen blowing amount can bring the shortage of the molten steel temperature, so a certain molten steel temperature is ensured in the high-carbon-drawing smelting process. The slag charge added into the steel can cause the temperature of the molten steel to be reduced, and the carbon pulling operation is carried outTherefore, the slag should be roasted. Baking the steel ladle to 1150-1200 ℃, adding part of slagging auxiliary materials after the temperature is reached, and baking again to prevent the slag from heating along with the steel ladle for a long time to corrode refractory materials of the steel ladle; another benefit of baking the slag charge to 1150-1200 ℃ is that the slag can be melted quickly, and the slagging speed is the key point of smelting. The aluminum alloy ash contains a large amount of metal aluminum, partial fluoride and oxide, has a low melting point, and can be added into molten steel to effectively reduce the oxygen content in the molten steel and serve as a fluxing agent to accelerate the melting of other additives. Deoxidation of aluminium results in the production of large size Al 2 O 3 The impurities, fluorides and oxides in the aluminum alloy ash can rapidly remove Al 2 O 3 And large-size impurities remained in the steel are avoided by adsorption. The silicon-manganese deoxidation can form complex silicate, and the liquid-phase oxide in the molten steel is easier to remove. The purpose of carrying out the aluminum alloy ash deoxidation before the silicon-manganese deoxidation is also to improve the yield of the silicon-manganese alloy. Tantalum is an important rare metal, and the property of the tantalum is very active to combine with oxygen in steel to form oxide; the alloying after controlling the oxygen in the steel to a low level is to prevent oxidation thereof, and the present invention expects that it exists in the steel in the form of an alloy. The chemical property of boron is very active, boron oxide can be combined with oxygen in steel to generate boron oxide, boron nitride can be combined with nitrogen in steel to generate boron nitride, the performance of the steel can be deteriorated by the oxide and the nitride of the boron, and the hardenability of the steel can be effectively improved only by boron element which is dissolved in the steel in a solid mode and exists as interstitial atoms, so that the corresponding process design is carried out. The reason why the two-stage rolling is performed is as follows: the first stage rolling is to change the size of the steel, the second stage rolling is to strain-induce nucleation of tantalum carbonitride, and the heat-retention treatment is performed after rolling to sufficiently precipitate tantalum-containing carbonitride in the steel and improve the overall performance of the steel.
