Description

本発明は、機械構造用鋼からなる部品、例えば、ギヤ、CVJなどの高強度化が要求される自動車用の浸炭部品に関する。   The present invention relates to carburized parts for automobiles that require high strength, such as parts made of steel for machine structural use, such as gears and CVJs.

ギヤ、CVJなどの自動車用部品では、小型軽量化に伴う高強度化が要求される。そこで、1)SNCMなどのNi鋼のように合金元素を添加して高強度化を図っている。しかし、このように合金元素を添加して高強度化を図った場合、素材コストが高くなり、冷間加工性が劣るために冷間鍛造ができず、さらに熱間鍛造後そのままでは切削できないので焼鈍などの熱処理が必要となるなどの問題がある。   Automotive parts such as gears and CVJs are required to have high strength as they are reduced in size and weight. Therefore, 1) alloying elements are added to increase the strength like Ni steel such as SNCM. However, when alloying elements are added in this way to increase the strength, the material cost increases, and cold workability cannot be achieved due to poor cold workability. There is a problem that a heat treatment such as annealing is required.

2)さらに浸炭後、再焼入れを行って結晶粒の微細化を図って高強度化している。しかし、この場合も、例えば、SCMなどの一般鋼を使用した場合では、結晶粒の微細化に限界があり十分な高強度化ができない問題がある。   2) Further, after carburizing, re-quenching is performed to refine crystal grains and increase the strength. However, also in this case, for example, when general steel such as SCM is used, there is a problem in that sufficient refinement cannot be achieved because there is a limit to refinement of crystal grains.

3)あるいは、加工処理により結晶粒の微細化を図って高強度化している。しかしこの場合も、成形と熱処理を組み合わせるため、成形の難しいものには適用できないなど部品形状が限定されるなどの問題がある。   3) Alternatively, the crystal grains are refined by processing to increase the strength. However, in this case as well, there is a problem that the shape of the part is limited because it cannot be applied to a difficult-to-mold product because the molding and heat treatment are combined.

また、浸炭時のγ粒の粗大化を防ぐものが出願され開示されている(例えば、特許文献1参照。)。   Further, an application for preventing coarsening of γ grains during carburizing has been filed and disclosed (for example, see Patent Document 1).

本発明の手段における肌焼鋼に含有される鋼成分の限定理由を述べる。なお、%は質量%を示す。   The reasons for limiting the steel components contained in the case-hardened steel in the means of the present invention will be described. In addition,% shows the mass%.

C:Cは機械構造用部品として浸炭処理後の芯部強度を確保するために必要な元素であり、0.10%未満ではその効果が十分に得られず、反対に0.35%を超えると芯部の靱性を低下させる。そのため含有量を0.10〜0.35%とした。   C: C is an element necessary for securing the core strength after carburizing treatment as a machine structural component. If it is less than 0.10%, the effect cannot be sufficiently obtained, and conversely exceeds 0.35%. And reduce the toughness of the core. Therefore, the content was made 0.10 to 0.35%.

Si:Siは0.03%未満では脱酸効果が十分に得られず、0.50%より過剰に含有させると加工性を低下させると共に浸炭時の粒界酸化層の形成を助長し、疲労特性についても低下させる。そのため含有量を0.03〜0.50%とした。   Si: If Si is less than 0.03%, a sufficient deoxidation effect cannot be obtained. If it is contained in excess of 0.50%, the workability is lowered and the formation of a grain boundary oxide layer during carburizing is promoted. The characteristics are also lowered. Therefore, the content is set to 0.03 to 0.50%.

Mn:Mnは焼入性を確保するのに必要な元素であるが、2.0%を超えると加工性を低下させる。そのため、含有量を2.0%以下とした。   Mn: Mn is an element necessary for ensuring hardenability, but if it exceeds 2.0%, workability is lowered. Therefore, the content is made 2.0% or less.

Ti:Tiは鋼中のfree−Nを固定し、Bの焼入性への効果を向上させると共にTi炭化物、Tiを含有する複合炭化物、Ti窒化物を微細に析出させることによって、AlNに代って浸炭時のオーステナイト結晶粒度の粗大化を抑制するために必要な元素である。特に、鋼中に微細分散したナノオーダーのTiCが結晶粒の成長を抑制する。Tiが0.05%未満ではその効果は十分でなく、0.1%を超えることが望ましい。しかし、0.2%を超えると析出物の量が過剰となり加工性を低下させる。そのため、Tiは0.05〜0.2%とした。   Ti: Ti fixes free-N in the steel, improves the effect on the hardenability of B, and finely precipitates Ti carbide, Ti-containing composite carbide, and Ti nitride to replace AlN. Thus, it is an element necessary for suppressing the coarsening of the austenite grain size during carburizing. In particular, nano-order TiC finely dispersed in steel suppresses the growth of crystal grains. If Ti is less than 0.05%, the effect is not sufficient, and it is desirable to exceed 0.1%. However, if it exceeds 0.2%, the amount of precipitates becomes excessive and the workability is lowered. Therefore, Ti is set to 0.05 to 0.2%.

V:Vは炭化物を形成し、Ti同様にオーステナイト結晶粒度の粗大化を抑制する効果がある。特に、鋼中に微細に分散したナノオーダーのVCが結晶粒の成長を抑制する。Vが0.02%未満ではその硬化は得られず、0.10%を超えて含有させると析出物の量が過剰となり加工性を低下させる。そのため、含有量を0.02〜0.10%とした。   V: V forms carbides and, like Ti, has the effect of suppressing coarsening of the austenite grain size. In particular, nano-order VC finely dispersed in steel suppresses the growth of crystal grains. If V is less than 0.02%, the curing cannot be obtained. If the content exceeds 0.10%, the amount of precipitates becomes excessive and the workability is lowered. Therefore, the content is set to 0.02 to 0.10%.

Nb:Nbは炭化物あるいは窒化物を形成し、Ti同様にオーステナイト結晶粒度の粗大化を抑制する効果がある。特に、鋼中に微細に分散したナノオーダーのNbCが結晶粒の成長を抑制する。Nbが0.02%未満ではその硬化は得られず、0.10%を超えて含有させると析出物の量が過剰となり加工性を低下させる。そのため、含有量を0.02〜0.10%とした。なお、Ti、V、Nbはそれらのうち1種または2種以上を含有することができる。   Nb: Nb forms carbides or nitrides, and has the effect of suppressing the coarsening of the austenite crystal grain size, similar to Ti. In particular, nano-order NbC finely dispersed in steel suppresses the growth of crystal grains. If Nb is less than 0.02%, the curing cannot be obtained. If Nb is contained in excess of 0.10%, the amount of precipitates becomes excessive and the workability is lowered. Therefore, the content is set to 0.02 to 0.10%. In addition, Ti, V, and Nb can contain 1 type, or 2 or more types among them.

Cr:Crは焼入性および浸炭性を向上させる元素であるが、2.0%を超えて含有させると浸炭層で粗大な炭化物を形成し、機械的性質、疲労特性を低下させる。そのため、含有量を2.0%以下とした。   Cr: Cr is an element that improves hardenability and carburization. However, if it is contained in an amount exceeding 2.0%, coarse carbides are formed in the carburized layer, and mechanical properties and fatigue characteristics are deteriorated. Therefore, the content is made 2.0% or less.

Mo:Moは焼入性および靱性を向上させる元素であるが、2.0%を超えて含有させると圧延あるいは鍛造後にベイナイトやマルテンサイト組織となり加工性を著しく低下させ、コストアップにつながる。そのため、含有量を2.0%以下とした。   Mo: Mo is an element that improves hardenability and toughness. However, if it is contained in excess of 2.0%, it becomes a bainite or martensite structure after rolling or forging, which significantly reduces workability and leads to an increase in cost. Therefore, the content is made 2.0% or less.

Ni:Niは焼入性および靱性を向上させる元素であるが、3.0%を超えて含有させると圧延あるいは鍛造後にベイナイトやマルテンサイト組織となり加工性を著しく低下させ、コストアップにつながる。そのため、含有量を3.0%以下とした。なお、Cr、Mo、Niはそれらのうち1種または2種以上を含有することができる。   Ni: Ni is an element that improves hardenability and toughness. However, if it is contained in an amount exceeding 3.0%, it becomes a bainite or martensite structure after rolling or forging, and the workability is remarkably reduced, leading to an increase in cost. Therefore, the content is made 3.0% or less. In addition, Cr, Mo, and Ni can contain 1 type, or 2 or more types among them.

N:Nは0.015%を超えて、殊に0.020%を超えて含有するとTiNが増加し、疲労特性に悪影響を及ぼす。そのため、Nは0.020%以下とした。   N: If N exceeds 0.015%, particularly exceeding 0.020%, TiN increases and adversely affects fatigue properties. Therefore, N is set to 0.020% or less.

Al:Alは脱酸剤として使用される元素であり、0.005%未満ではその効果が十分でなく、0.05%を超えるとアルミナ系酸化物が増加し疲労特性、加工性を低下させる。そのため、含有量を0.005〜0.05%とした。   Al: Al is an element used as a deoxidizer, and if it is less than 0.005%, its effect is not sufficient, and if it exceeds 0.05%, alumina-based oxides increase and fatigue characteristics and workability deteriorate. . Therefore, the content is set to 0.005 to 0.05%.

B:Bは極く微量の添加によって鋼の焼入性を著しく向上させる元素であり、任意に選択的に添加できる元素である。しかし、0.0005%未満ではその効果は十分でなく、0.005%を超えると逆に焼入性を低下させる。そのため、含有量を0.0005〜0.005%とした。   B: B is an element that remarkably improves the hardenability of steel by addition of a very small amount, and is an element that can be selectively added arbitrarily. However, if it is less than 0.0005%, the effect is not sufficient, and if it exceeds 0.005%, the hardenability is lowered. Therefore, the content is set to 0.0005 to 0.005%.

被削性の改善元素として、さらに、S:0.01〜0.2%、Pb:0.01〜0.3%、Bi:0.01〜0.3%、Te:0.01〜0.2%、Se:0.01〜0.2%、Ca:0.0003〜0.01%から選択した1種ないし2種以上を含有することができる。これらの元素は、その下限値以下では十分な被削性改善の効果はなく、その上限値を超えると逆に靱性を低下するので上限値以下とする。   As an element for improving machinability, S: 0.01 to 0.2%, Pb: 0.01 to 0.3%, Bi: 0.01 to 0.3%, Te: 0.01 to 0 0.2%, Se: 0.01 to 0.2%, Ca: 0.0003 to 0.01% selected from one or more. These elements do not have a sufficient machinability improvement effect below the lower limit value, and when the upper limit value is exceeded, the toughness decreases conversely.

本発明の作用について述べると、本発明においては鋼の強度を向上させるために、旧オーステナイト粒がJIS G0551で規定されているNo.11以上に極めて微細化したマルテンサイト組織の鋼を使用する。これによって鋼の破壊起点が粒界破壊から、粒内破壊へと移行し、曲げ強度、衝撃特性が向上する。   The action of the present invention will be described. In the present invention, in order to improve the strength of steel, the prior austenite grains are No. 1 defined in JIS G0551. A steel with a martensite structure that is extremely refined to 11 or more is used. As a result, the fracture start point of steel shifts from intergranular fracture to intragranular fracture, and the bending strength and impact characteristics are improved.

本発明の上記の鋼から形成の部品は、さらに浸炭後、再焼入れを行うことが特に重要であり、通常の浸炭焼入れのままでは、超微細化しない。すなわち、浸炭焼入れし、前組織をマルテンサイト(またはベイナイト)にした状態で焼入れすると超微細化する。   It is particularly important for the parts formed from the above steel of the present invention to be re-quenched after carburizing, and if the carburized and quenched as usual, it will not be ultrafine. That is, when carburizing and quenching and quenching in a state where the previous structure is martensite (or bainite), it becomes ultrafine.

ここでは、マルテンサイト(またはベイナイト)は再焼入れの加熱時にオーステナイトに一旦なるが、このオーステナイト生成サイトが多いため、いたるところからオーステナイト粒ができる。このオーステナイト粒を微細分散したTiCがピンニングし、結晶粒の成長を止める。その状態から焼き入れされるため、超微細化したマルテンサイト組織ができる。   Here, martensite (or bainite) once becomes austenite at the time of re-quenching heating, but since there are many austenite generation sites, austenite grains are formed everywhere. TiC in which the austenite grains are finely dispersed is pinned to stop the growth of crystal grains. Since it is quenched from that state, an ultrafine martensite structure is formed.

すなわち、Tiを添加した鋼(出願人の開発した鋼で、特開平10−81938号に開示の鋼)を旧オーステナイト結晶粒度がJIS G0551で規定されているNo.11以上まで微細化したマルテンサイト組織からなる鋼とし、この鋼からなる鋼部品に、特に、浸炭後、再焼入れすることにより、結晶粒が超微細化することを利用している。一般鋼(SCMなど)も再焼入れすることにより微細化するが、粒度No.11未満程度が限界であり、また、混粒が発生し易い。   That is, a steel added with Ti (a steel developed by the applicant and disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-81938) is obtained from No. 1 in which the prior austenite grain size is defined by JIS G0551. The steel is made of a martensite structure refined to 11 or more, and the steel parts made of this steel are utilized, in particular, by re-quenching after carburizing, thereby refining crystal grains. General steel (such as SCM) is refined by re-quenching. Less than 11 is the limit, and mixed grains are likely to occur.

Tiを添加した鋼の場合、特開平10−81938号に開示の発明では、上記のSCMなどと同様に、結晶粒の粗大化は阻止されて高強度となっているが、粒度はNo.11未満程度である。これに対し、本発明における鋼では、旧オーステナイト結晶粒度がJIS G0551で規定されているNo.11以上まで微細化したマルテンサイト組織からなる鋼とし、このTi添加の鋼からなる部品を、さらに浸炭後、再焼入れすることにより、ナノオーダーのTiCが微細に分散し、結晶粒の成長を止める(ピンニング効果)。これにより一般鋼では達成できなかった領域の結晶粒度No.11を超えて超微細化することが可能となり、この結晶粒の超微細化により、さらに高強度化が図れるものである。   In the case of steel added with Ti, in the invention disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-81938, as in the above SCM, the coarsening of the crystal grains is prevented and the strength is increased. It is less than 11. In contrast, in the steel according to the present invention, the old austenite grain size is No. defined in JIS G0551. Steel made of martensite structure refined to 11 or more, and parts made of Ti-added steel are further carburized and then re-quenched, so that nano-order TiC is finely dispersed and crystal grain growth is stopped. (Pinning effect). As a result, the grain size No. in the region that could not be achieved with general steel. It is possible to achieve ultrafineness exceeding 11, and it is possible to further increase the strength by making this crystal grain ultrafine.

これにより、Niなどの高価な元素を用いなくとも、機械的性質(曲げ強度、靱性など)を大幅に向上させることができる。また加工熱処理ではないので、全ての部品に適用できる。   Thereby, mechanical properties (bending strength, toughness, etc.) can be greatly improved without using expensive elements such as Ni. Since it is not a thermomechanical treatment, it can be applied to all parts.

以上説明したように、本発明は、Tiを添加した鋼を、旧オーステナイト結晶粒度がJIS G0551で規定されているNo.11以上まで微細化したマルテンサイト組織からなる高強度肌焼鋼とし、さらにこの鋼から鋼部品とし、浸炭後、再焼入れをすることで、結晶粒度をJIS G0551 No.11以上まで微細化したマルテンサイト組織からなるものが得られ、本発明は自動車用部品として従来にない高強度の浸炭部品を得るものとして優れた方法である。   As described above, according to the present invention, a steel to which Ti is added is used for No. in which the prior austenite grain size is defined by JIS G0551. A high-strength case-hardened steel having a martensite structure refined to 11 or more, and further steel steel parts made from this steel, and re-quenched after carburizing, the grain size of JIS G0551 No. What consists of the martensite structure refined | miniaturized to 11 or more is obtained, and this invention is an outstanding method as what obtains the high intensity | strength carburized component which is not conventionally as a component for motor vehicles.
