Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The invention relates to the technical field of iron-based alloys, in particular to a wear-resistant steel with excellent surface quality and a production method thereof.


BACKGROUND ART

Wear resistant steel plates are widely used in key parts of mechanical equipment requiring high strength and good wear resistance in engineering machinery, mining and transportation, road transportation and other industries, such as excavator bucket, scraper conveyor middle slot, mining dump truck bucket and so on. In recent years, domestic wear-resistant steel manufacturers have done a lot of work on how to improve the comprehensive mechanical properties of steel plates. For example, the inventions with Chinese patent CN104451409A, CN103014543A, CN102747280B and CN106521314B have been reported in terms of surface hardness, overall hardness, high toughness and easy welding.


With the further development of construction machinery and equipment, equipment manufacturers put forward more and more strict requirements for the control of surface defects of wear-resistant steel plate. On the one hand, surface defects will become the crack source of various failure cracks; On the other hand, it affects the appearance of the equipment. The steel plate manufacturer adopts local grinding for surface defects without affecting the thickness of the steel plate, but this has a great impact on the later painting of equipment surface, resulting in uneven paint film and greatly affecting the surface quality. It is an urgent problem for steel plate manufacturers to develop high surface quality and easy to weld wear-resistant steel plate without grinding.


DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The invention aims to provide a low alloy easy welding wear-resistant steel with excellent surface quality and a production method thereof. The microstructure of the low alloy wear-resistant steel plate is fine tempered martensite; Tensile strength >1200 Mpa, elongation >12%, −40° C. Charpy V-shaped longitudinal impact energy >30J; Brinell hardness shall meet 360-460HB. The surface quality of the steel plate is good, and there are no surface defects such as pores, inclusions, pits and pressed iron oxide scale. The steel plate needs not to be polished, and the depth of surface spots caused by the falling of iron oxide scale is ≤0.1 mm. The steel plate has good weldability, and the carbon equivalent CEV≤0.40; The welding crack sensitivity coefficient PCM≤0.25. It can receive direct non-preheating welding.


The technical scheme adopted by the invention to solve the above problems is: a wear-resistant steel with excellent surface quality, the chemical constituents are C: 0.12-0.20%, Si: ≤0.1%, Mn: 0.6-1.20%, Nb: 0.010-0.040%, V: ≤0.01%, Ti: 0.010-0.030%, Al: ≤0.04%, Ni: ≤0.1%, Cu: ≤0.1%, Cr: 0.10-0.40%, Mo: ≤0.1%, B: 0.001-0.005%, Ca: 0.0010-0.0050%, P: ≤0.010%, s: ≤0.0015%, O: ≤0.0012%, N: ≤0.0035%, H: ≤0.0002%, and the balance is Fe and unavoidable impurity elements.


According to the formula CEV=C+Mn/6+(Cr+Mo+V)/5+(Ni+Cu)/15, its chemical constituents of the carbon equivalent CEV≤0.40; According to the formula PCM=C+Si/30+(Mn+Cu+Cr)/20+Ni/60+Mo/15+V/10+5B, the welding crack sensitivity coefficient PCM≤0.25.


In order to realize non-preheating welding and excellent toughness, the invention controls the carbon equivalent CEV≤0.4; PCM≤0.25;


The thickness of the low alloy easy welding wear-resistant steel plate with excellent surface quality is 4-20 mm.


The design principle of steel constituents in the invention is as follows:


C: Carbon is the most basic and important element in wear-resistant steel, which determines the hardness level, toughness and weldability of steel plate. Low carbon content, low hardness, good toughness and excellent weldability; High carbon content, high strength and high hardness, but the plastic toughness of the steel plate is reduced, and the weldability is poor. Based on the design hardness of the steel plate is 360HB-460HB and considering the toughness and welding performance of the steel plate, the carbon content in the invention is controlled to be 0.12-0.20%.


Si: Solid solution of silicon in ferrite and austenite improves strength and hardness. Too high content will deteriorate the toughness of martensitic steel, increase the sensitivity of welding crack and reduce the surface quality. This study shows that there is an important relationship between Si content and shallow oxide spots on the surface of wear-resistant steel. As shown in FIG. 1, when the Si content is 0.25%, there are most secondary oxide spots with a depth of 0.02-0.2 mm on the surface of wear-resistant steel. When the Si content is 0.15%, after shot blasting, the spot depth decreases to less than 0.15 mm, as shown in FIG. 2. When the Si content is reduced to 0.05%, there are no surface defects such as spots after shot blasting, and the quality is good, as shown in FIG. 3. This study shows that when there is a certain Si content in the wear-resistant steel, it is easy to form a certain Fe2SiO4 compound between the iron oxide scale and the base, which increases the viscosity of the iron oxide scale and is difficult to be removed in the descaling process, so it is pressed in during steel rolling, resulting in a shallow layer of spot defects on the surface of the wear-resistant steel, as shown in FIG. 4. This study shows that when the Si content in the wear-resistant steel is ≤0.1%, the surface quality of the steel plate is good, and there are no obvious defects after shot blasting, which can meet the high standard surface quality requirements of customers and reduce the welding crack sensitivity coefficient of the steel plate. Therefore, the invention strictly controls the Si content of wear-resistant steel ≤0.1%.


Mn: strongly improve the hardenability of steel and reduce the critical cooling rate of martensitic transformation. When the content of manganese is low, the above effect is not obvious, and the strength and toughness of the steel plate are low. When it is too high, it tends to coarsen the grain, and at the same time, it will cause segregation of continuous casting slab to form MnS, poor toughness and lower weldability. Therefore, considering the comprehensive addition of alloy, the invention specifies that the addition amount of manganese content is in the range of 0.80-1.30%.


Nb: it is a strong forming element of C and N compounds, which plays a role in pinning the austenite grain boundary and inhibiting the growth of austenite grain during heating. The strength and toughness of the steel are significantly improved by grain refinement. When the addition amount is less than 0.010%, the effect is not obvious. When it is more than 0.040%, it is easy to segregate at the grain boundary and reduce the toughness. Therefore, the invention stipulates that the niobium content shall be in the range of 0.010-0.040%.


Ti: Ti is a strong carbide forming element. TiC particles are fine and distributed at the grain boundary, to reach effect of refining steel plate and welding the grain, improve the wear resistance of steel plate. However, if the Ti content is too high, it is easy to form micron sized liquid precipitation TiN, which is unfavorable to the low-temperature impact properties of the steel plate; In order to obtain better weld performance, the Ti content is controlled at 0.010%-0.030%.


Al: refine grain elements, ensure the formation of fine Ti particles and ensure the toughness of steel plate. Too high Al content will lead to the formation of too many Al2O3 inclusions and affect the surface quality of steel plate; At the same time, because the wear-resistant steel adopts the low Si design, the high Al content will reduce the SiO2 in the top slag in the smelting process and increase the Si content in the molten steel, thus affecting the formation of secondary iron oxide scale in the later stage. Therefore, the invention stipulates that the Al content is ≤0.04%.


Ni and Cu: the most commonly used elements to effectively improve the low temperature toughness of steel. However, due to the high price and poor economy, the invention cancels the addition of Ni and Cu, which greatly improves the cost competitiveness of the invented steel grade.


Cr: reduce the critical cooling rate of martensitic transformation and improve the hardenability. Too high Cr will reduce the weldability of steel plate. The chromium content in the invention is controlled at 0.10-0.40%.


Mo: an element to improve the hardenability of steel, which is conducive to the formation of full martensite during quenching. However, due to the high price and poor economy, the addition of Mo is cancelled in the invention to improve the cost competitiveness of the invented steel grade.


B: The invention adds 0.001-0.005% trace B, and its main purpose is to improve the hardenability of the steel plate, so as to reduce the addition of other precious metals and reduce the cost. More than 0.005% B is easy to produce segregation and form boride, which seriously worsens the toughness of the steel plate.


Ca: Ca treatment is usually used for inclusion denaturation treatment to change long strip inclusions such as MnS into spherical inclusions such as CaS, reduce the anisotropy of steel plate and improve the comprehensive properties of steel plate. The invention controls the Ca content at 0.0010%-0.0050%.


P and S: harmful elements, which have adverse effects on the plasticity and toughness of the material. The invention pursues pure steel, reduces the influence of inclusions on surface quality, and strictly controls P content ≤0.01% and S content ≤0.0015%.


O, N, H: harmful gas elements with high content and many inclusions, which are easy to produce white spots, greatly reduce the plasticity and toughness of the steel plate and affect the welding performance. At the same time, it is easy to form inclusion defects on the surface of the steel plate and affect the surface quality. The invention strictly controls the O content not higher than 0.0012%; N content is not higher than 0.0035%; H content ≤0.0002%.


The invention also provides a production method of the above low alloy easy welding wear-resistant steel plate with excellent surface quality. The specific process is as follows,


Smelting process: Adopt converter smelting, Control basicity of final slag from converter R (CaO/SiO2)≥3, conduct slag cut-off operation, and control slag dropping per ton of steel within 3 kg. Effectively control the increase of Si in molten steel caused by tapping slag; Send molten steel to LF refining furnace for refining, and control the oxidation of refining slag, so as to control the content of FeO+MnO≤2%, SiO2≤8%, Al2O3≤15%-35%; Ensure the refining time is not more than 1 hour to avoid large increase of Si in molten steel; Send molten steel to VD or RH vacuum treatment, vacuum degree ≤0.5 mbar. for not less than 30 min, reduce the generation of pores. After degassing the molten steel, use the calcium iron wire to replace the traditional silicon calcium wire for Ca treatment; inclusions are so controlled that a sum of the Grades of Group A, B, C and D is ≤2.5, to avoid surface inclusion.


Continuous casting process: in order to control the internal porosity and segregation of steel plate, conduct low overheat pouring under whole process argon protection and conduct dynamic soft reduction control. Control the overheat of molten steel at 5-20° C. and keep the center segregation no higher than grade C1.0.


Heating process: This study shows that when the heating temperature is greater than 1180° C., Fe2SiO4 reacts with FeO to produce molten binary eutectic, which will promote the local oxidation reaction of slab, lead to the difficulty of subsequent descaling, and cause the formation of oxide pressing defects. The invention adopts a relatively low heating temperature and controls the heating temperature of the slab at 1100-1180° C. Control the time of soaking section in the furnace, no greater than 1 hour.


Steel rolling process: carry out high pressure water descaling before steel plate rolling, and control the descaling pressure at the nozzle above 21 MPa. Carry out high pressure descaling at the start of rough rolling and the last two passes of rough rolling to fully remove the primary iron oxide scale. This study shows that when the steel plate is above 1050° C., the high-temperature slab will quickly produce secondary iron oxide scale. The invention controls the head and tail temperature of the intermediate slab after rough rolling to be lower than 1000° C. In order to shorten the high temperature waiting time of the steel plate and control the grain size uniformity of the steel plate, the start rolling temperature of the finishing rolling in the invention is controlled at >930° C. High pressure water descaling shall be adopted for the start of finish rolling, the total number of passes with descaling during finish rolling shall not be less than 3 passes, and the final rolling temperature shall be controlled at >820° C. Accelerated cooling is not adopted for the steel plate to avoid the generation of multiple iron oxide scale.


Surface treatment: the steel plate must be shot blasted before heat treatment to completely remove the complete and dense oxide scale on the steel plate surface and avoid the press in defects in the subsequent straightening treatment.


Quenching (water quenching) heat treatment process: the steel plate is quenched after rolling. The quenching temperature is 880-940° C., and the holding time is 20-60 min after the furnace temperature reaches the temperature. In order to ensure the uniformity of the steel plate, the temperature control accuracy is ±10° C.


Tempering process: the steel plate is tempered at low temperature, and the temperature is controlled at 150-250° C. After the furnace temperature reaches the temperature, the holding time is 30-60 min. In order to ensure the uniformity of the steel plate, the temperature control accuracy is ±10° C.


Compared with the existing production technology of wear-resistant steel, the invention favors:


Eliminate the addition of Si and Mo elements in the chemical constituents design, which reduces the alloy cost of the steel plate. Controls the Si content ≤0.1%, and avoids the formation of Fe2SiO4 compound at the boundary between the wear-resistant steel base and iron oxide scale, resulting in the decline of the surface quality of the steel plate; At the same time, reduce the welding crack sensitivity of steel plate;


The chemical constituents adopt a low carbon equivalent design, and the CEV of steel plate is ≤0.40; Welding crack sensitivity coefficient PCM≤0.25, to realize non-preheating welding;


The invention adopts converter smelting. Control basicity of final slag from converter R (CaO/SiO2)>3, conduct slag cut-off operation, and control slag dropping per ton of steel within 3 kg. Effectively control the increase of Si in molten steel caused by tapping slag; Send molten steel to LF refining furnace for refining, and control the oxidation of refining slag, so as to control the content of FeO+MnO≤2%, SiO2≤8%, Al2O3≤15%-35%; Ensure the refining time is not more than 1 hour to avoid large increase of Si in molten steel; inclusions are so controlled that a sum of the Grades of Group A, B, C and D is ≤2.5, which can improve the impact toughness of the steel plate at ultra-low temperature, and avoid surface inclusion defects;


The invention adopts a relatively low heating temperature and controls the heating temperature of the slab at 1100-1180° C. Control the time of soaking section in the furnace, no greater than 1 hour.


The invention carries out high-pressure water descaling before steel plate rolling, and controls the descaling pressure at the nozzle to be more than 21 MPa. Carry out high pressure descaling at the start of rough rolling and the last two passes to fully remove the primary scale, and quickly reduce the surface temperature of steel plate to avoid secondary oxidation; The invention controls the temperature of the head and tail of the intermediate slab after rough rolling to be lower than 1000° C.


In order to shorten the high temperature waiting time of the steel plate, the invention appropriately increases the finish rolling start-up temperature and controls it at >930° C. In order to quickly reduce the rolling temperature, conduct high pressure water descaling for the start of finish rolling. the total number of passes with descaling during finish rolling shall not be less than 3 passes, and control the final rolling temperature at >800° C. Accelerated cooling, such as water cooling, is not adopted for the rolled steel plate to avoid the generation of multiple iron oxide scales. Adopt stack slow cooling or cover slow cooling or air cooling for cooling.


The steel plate must be shot blasted before heat treatment to completely remove the complete and dense oxide skin on the steel plate surface, so as to avoid the press in defects in subsequent quenching and tempering and steel plate finishing.


The surface quality of the steel plate produced by the invention is good, free from surface defects such as air pit, inclusion, hemp pit and pressed iron oxide scale. The depth of surface spots caused by the peeling off iron oxide scale is ≤0.1 mm, and the surface grinding of steel plate cannot be carried out.


The method of the invention can be spread and applied to other steel plates, in industries such as high-strength marine ship, high-rise building, bridge, construction machinery, pressure vessel steel, etc.
