Detailed Description
The invention provides high-nitrogen hot working die steel, which comprises the following chemical components in percentage by mass:
The balance of Fe and other unavoidable impurity elements.
The high-nitrogen hot working die steel provided by the invention comprises 0.10-0.30% of C, preferably 0.21-0.29% of C by mass percent. In the present invention, carbon plays an important role in improving the hardness and strength of steel as a main constituent element of a strengthening phase in hot work die steel. The high carbon content can increase the hardness and strength of the steel, but also can increase the number of large-size carbides at the austenitic grain boundaries, and obviously reduce the plasticity and toughness of the steel. Compared with carbon, nitrogen has the unique advantages of improving the properties of material hardness and the like without reducing the toughness, and the fine-grain strengthening effect of the nitrogen is mainly reflected in increasing the quantity of undissolved M (C, N) carbonitrides during quenching, so that the capability of preventing the migration of original austenite grain boundaries and coarsening of grains is enhanced. The precipitation strengthening and solid solution strengthening effects of nitrogen mainly change the type, size, quantity and distribution of the precipitated phases by adding nitrogen elements, and increase the solid solution nitrogen content in the matrix, so that the microstructure and mechanical properties of the high-nitrogen hot work die steel are regulated and controlled. The invention adopts the design mode of 'carbon nitride substitution' to achieve the purpose of improving the toughness and the thermal stability of the steel.
The high-nitrogen hot working die steel provided by the invention comprises 0.80-1.20% of Si, preferably 0.80-0.84% by mass percent.
The high-nitrogen hot working die steel provided by the invention comprises 0.40-0.50% of Mn, preferably 0.40-0.43% by mass percent.
The high-nitrogen hot working die steel provided by the invention comprises 4.90-5.10% Cr, preferably 5.06-5.10% Cr by mass percent.
The high-nitrogen hot working die steel provided by the invention comprises 1.30-1.70% of Mo, preferably 1.34-1.41% by mass percent.
The high-nitrogen hot working die steel provided by the invention comprises 0.20-0.50% of V, preferably 0.21-0.49% of V by mass percent.
The high-nitrogen hot working die steel provided by the invention comprises 0.10-0.40% of N, preferably 0.11-0.38% by mass percent. In the invention, vanadium is used as a main secondary hardening element in hot working die steel, and plays an important role in refining original austenite grains, improving hardness and thermal stability and the like. However, since vanadium is a strong segregation element, excessive addition will aggravate element segregation during solidification of hot-work die steel and increase the amount of liquid-out carbonitride, thereby decreasing toughness. In addition, vanadium is high in price and large in fluctuation, and the alloy cost of hot work die steel is greatly increased. Compared with vanadium, the niobium-enriched carbonitride with small size formed by niobium, carbon, nitrogen and other elements has stronger capability of pinning grain boundary, and is beneficial to reducing the quantity of large-size liquid-separated vanadium carbonitride. The invention further reduces segregation and the content of liquid separation carbonitride through 'niobium vanadium regulation and control', and greatly reduces the alloy cost.
The high-nitrogen hot working die steel provided by the invention comprises 0.50-1.00% of Nb, preferably 0.51-0.99% by mass percent.
The high-nitrogen hot working die steel provided by the invention comprises 0.01-0.05% of Nd, preferably 0.012-0.048% by mass percent.
The high-nitrogen hot working die steel provided by the invention comprises 0.016-0.019% of Mg, preferably 0.0161-0.0189% by mass percent. In the invention, nd and Mg have remarkable molten steel purifying effect in the smelting process. They can react with impurities and inclusions in the molten steel to form more stable, easier to separate compounds, thereby reducing the content of these harmful elements O, P and S, etc. in the steel. In this way, the cleanliness of the hot work die steel can be remarkably improved, and the die failure risk caused by impurities and inclusions is reduced. In addition, nd and Mg elements can refine grains, strengthen grain boundaries, inhibit segregation at the grain boundaries and aggregation with low-melting-point harmful elements, and block the propagation of intercrystalline cracks so as to improve hot workability; in addition, the addition of the trace Mg element effectively improves the size and distribution of carbide, and is beneficial to improving the toughness of the high-nitrogen hot work die steel.
The high-nitrogen hot working die steel provided by the invention comprises 0.01-0.10% Te, preferably 0.011-0.096% by mass percent. In the invention, te microalloying can obviously refine the structure, inhibit the dissolution of carbide in the softening process, and is beneficial to improving the thermal stability. In addition, te can enhance the ductility of steel, so that the processed steel surface is brighter, and the generation of cracks and crazes is reduced, thereby meeting the requirements of modern industry on high-precision die products.
The invention adopts the design ideas of 'carbon nitrogen substitution' and 'niobium vanadium regulation' and combines with Nd, mg and Te microalloying to prepare the high-nitrogen hot work die steel with high heat stability and high strength and toughness, thereby prolonging the service life of the die.
The high-nitrogen hot work die steel provided by the invention also comprises the balance of Fe and other unavoidable impurity elements in percentage by mass.
The invention obtains the high-nitrogen hot work die steel with high heat stability and high strength and toughness through reasonably optimizing main alloying elements such as C, N, V, nb and micro alloying elements such as Nd, mg, te and the like.

The ingot was subjected to homogenization treatment, forging, isothermal spheroidizing annealing treatment, quenching (quenching temperature: 1050 ℃ C.) and tempering (tempering temperature: 600 ℃ C.) in the same manner as in example 1 to obtain hot work die steel.
Comparative examples 2 to 3
A hot-work die steel was prepared in accordance with the method of comparative example 1, except for the content of the elemental components, with specific reference to table 1.
Table 1 chemical composition of steel grades of examples 1 to 18 and comparative examples 1 to 3
The hot work die steels prepared in example 13 and comparative example 1 were ground, polished and etched, and then the microstructure was observed by a scanning electron microscope to obtain a microstructure chart as shown in fig. 2 to 3, wherein fig. 2 is a microstructure chart of the high nitrogen hot work die steel prepared in example 13, and fig. 3 is a microstructure chart of the hot work die steel prepared in comparative example 1. After isothermal softening treatment (incubation at 600 ℃ for 48 h), significant reversion of the martensitic structure and carbides occurs, i.e. decomposition of the martensitic substructure and precipitation, dissolution and coarsening of the carbides. As can be seen from FIG. 2, the microstructure of the high nitrogen hot work die steel of example 13 is composed mainly of tempered martensite and spherical and fine-bar-like carbides. As can be seen from FIG. 3, the microstructure of the hot work die steel prepared in comparative example 1 is mainly composed of tempered martensite and spherical and bulk carbides. The high nitrogen hot work die steel of example 13 was subjected to isothermal softening treatment and then observed by a scanning electron microscope to obtain a heat stability microstructure, as shown in fig. 4, consisting essentially of recovered martensite, ferrite and coarsened carbide. The heat-stable microstructure obtained by scanning electron microscope observation after isothermal softening treatment of the hot-work die steel prepared in comparative example 1 is shown in fig. 5, and mainly consists of ferrite and coarsened carbide. The more remarkable reversion of example 13 compared with comparative example 1, the substantial disappearance of the martensitic substructure and the more remarkable coarsening of the carbide resulted, which further represents the excellent heat stability of the high nitrogen hot work die steel.
The mechanical properties of the hot work die steels prepared in examples 1 to 18 and comparative examples 1 to 3 were examined as follows, and the results are shown in Table 2. Hardness: five point hardness values were measured on each sample to be tested using an HRS-150 rockwell hardness tester; intensity: impact toughness was measured on a SUNS PTM2302-B tester to measure a charpy V-notch specimen of dimensions 10 x 55 mm; impact toughness: processing dog bone sample with diameter of 5mm and specification length of 35mmTensile testing was performed on Shimadzu AGS100 at a strain rate of 1 mm/min; thermal stability hardness: incubate at 600℃for 48h, followed by five point hardness values at each sample using an HRS-150 Rockwell hardness tester. As can be seen from Table 4, the high nitrogen hot work die steel provided by the invention has high thermal stability and high toughness. /(I)
