The invention belongs to the field of engineering machinery, and in particular relates to an integrally cast excavator bucket and a manufacturing method thereof.
An excavator bucket is generally made from a cast iron material, and after used for a long time, the cast iron material is worn more seriously. The cast iron material needs to be replaced while being unable to play a protection role upon wear. When a high-content alloy steel material having higher hardness is used to manufacture an excavator bucket, the high-content alloy material is extremely easy to be snapped from tension owing to relatively poor comprehensive mechanical property and relatively large brittleness caused by relatively high hardness although having better wear resistance. Moreover, the existing excavator bucket is almost formed by adopting a welding technology, without heat treatment, thus resulting in low wear resistance, easy breakage at a welding point and short service life.
Rare earth elements are generally added to improve the wear resistance of steel, but the problems of difficulty in control and limited effects are present although the rare earth elements have a certain effect on the improvement of performances, and thus it is unlikely to achieve expected mechanical property indexes in practical production.
The performances, in particular strength and toughness of steel depend on its tissue structure. The finer the grain is, and the higher the strength and the toughness of steel are. For steel, a traditional method of forming a fine grain microstructure in which an optimized combination of strength and toughness is generated is to perform thermo-mechanical treatment. Furthermore, further quality improvement has been realized by using an advanced ladle refining technology for deoxidization and desulfurization and by comprehensively reducing the oxygen content and the sulfur content of steel. However, problems in steel are not always caused by inclusions. By virtue of the capability of inclusions which can serve as effective non-uniform nucleation sites of different types of transformation products, such as ferrite and austenite, it is available to utilize a catalysis effect of the inclusions in a solidification process and in a solid state on evolution of a microstructure.
An aqueous quenching agent has the features: the aqueous quenching agent has high cooling rate through the whole cooling process, the aqueous quenching agent can promote grains to be refined with regular crystal forms in a high-temperature cooling stage, and thus facilitates to improve the service performance of workpieces, however, in a low-temperature cooling stage, problems, such as cracking, quenching deformation, occurrence of soft spots of workpieces are easily caused by overhigh cooling rate; and moreover, the problems, such as poor anti-rust performance and cleaning capability are common to the aqueous quenching agent, oxide skin is easily produced, more quenching workpieces are carried, and thus the machining technology and the production efficiency are greatly affected.
Based on the above, the invention provides an integrally cast excavator bucket and a manufacturing method thereof. Upon research and analysis performed to materials and processes, the excavator bucket is integrally cast by adopting a wear-resistant alloy material, such that the production process is simplified, and the performances are stable with high consistency.
The technical solutions of the present inventions are as follows:
an integrally cast excavator bucket comprises a lifting lug, a top plate, two side plates and a bottom plate connected with the two side plates, wherein the lifting lug, the top plate, the two side plates and the bottom plate are of an integral structure.
A side toothed plate is provided on the side plate, and a lifting lug reinforcing rib is provided at a position where the lifting lug is connected with the top plate.
The side toothed plate is configured to protect bodies at the two side plates against wear as the bodies at the side plates are unlikely to weld after being worn, however, the side toothed plate can be replaced after being worn. The lifting lug reinforcing rib has the functions of reinforcing the lifting lug, improving the bearing force of the lifting lug and prolonging the service life of the excavator bucket.
A plurality of wear-resistant blocks and wear-resistant spheres are provided in an area, close to a front edge of the bucket, of the side plate, wherein the wear-resistant blocks are close to a position where the side plate is connected with the bottom plate; and two longitudinal ribs are provided at positions, close to the two side plates, of the bottom plate, and a plurality of transverse ribs are provided in the middle of the bottom plate.
The provided wear-resistant blocks and wear-resistant spheres may increase the friction and improve the wear resistance of the side plates; the transverse ribs and the longitudinal ribs are cooperatively provided on the bottom plate to increase the friction and improve the wear resistance of the bottom plate; and the longitudinal ribs provided at positions, close to the two side plates, of the bottom plate also have a protecting effect on the side plates, and meanwhile improve the operation convenience of the excavator bucket.
The integrally cast excavator bucket which is of an integral structure formed by vacuum integral casting as described in the method of the present invention comprises a lifting lug, a lifting lug reinforcing rib, a top plate, two side plates, a bottom plate, wear-resistant blocks, wear-resistant spheres, longitudinal ribs and transverse ribs.
Cast steel for casting the excavator bucket consists of the following components in percentage by weight: 0.1% to 0.6% of C, 0.2% to 0.6% of Si, 0.5% to 1.8% of Mn, 0.5% to 1.6% of Cr, 0.2% to 0.75% of Ni, 0.1% to 0.6% of Mo, less than or equal to 0.035% of P, less than or equal to 0.035% of S, and the balance of Fe.
Further preferably, the cast steel comprises the following components in percentage by weight: 0.25% of C, 0.3% of Si, 1.2% of Mn, 0.8% of Cr, 0.25% of Ni, 0.4% of Mo, less than or equal to 0.035% of P, less than or equal to 0.035% of S, and the balance of Fe.
C: the higher the carbon content is and the higher the strength is, but the correspondingly reduced the plasticity and the toughness are; on the contrary, the lower the carbon content is and the higher the plasticity and the toughness are, but the correspondingly reduced the strength is. In order to achieve matched strength and toughness of the excavator bucket, carbon accounts for 0.1% to 0.6% by weight of the cast steel of the present invention. Carbon is present in steel mainly in a form of a solid solution or generating carbides. The carbides may serve as reinforcing phases to enhance the hardness and the strength of steel, carbide grains are very fine and uniformly distributed by using a heat treatment method, to be specific, melting all the carbides in austenite at a relatively high temperature and then carrying out heat treatment by using a carbide micronized quenching manner, and therefore, the toughness of steel may be further improved.
Si is used for preventing oxidization of steel, stabilising a matrix, ensuring the strength of the excavator, restricting generation of proeutectoid ferrite and promoting formation of acicular ferrite. However, Si will be likely to generate low-melting-point silicate to increase the mobility of slag and fusions, thus resulting in sputtering to affect the quality of the excavator bucket, and when the Si content exceeds a certain value, the impact toughness of ferrite will drop sharply.
Mn is one of strengthening elements and can be dissolved in ferrite to play a solid solution strengthening role, improve the hardenability of alloys and enhance the wear resistance and the strength of the excavator bucket. Mn also serves as a favorable deoxidising agent and a favorable desulfurizing agent and may be used to perform deoxidization and desulfurization, such that, when the Mn content is 0.5% to 1.8%, the strength of the excavator bucket is significantly improved and the impact toughness of Mn at a low temperature can be improved.
Cr (chromium) is capable of restricting and reducing separation-out of proeutectoid ferrite and refining grains of ferrite, and facilitates to increase the content of acicular ferrite, improve the strength, the hardness and the wear resistance significantly while reducing the plasticity and the toughness, and improve the brittle transition temperature and the temper brittleness of steel. The hardness and the strength of steel can be improved by adding a certain amount of Cr, and with the increase of Cr content, the tensile strength and the hardness of steel may also rise significantly, and Cr accounts for 0.5% to 1.6% by weight of the cast steel of the present invention.
Ni is capable of strengthening ferrite and improving the toughness and the strength, more particularly low temperature impact toughness, of cast steel, improving the resistance of steel to fatigue and reducing the sensitivity of steel to gaps, reducing the ductile-brittle transition temperature, enhancing the yield ratio, improving the machinability and the weldability of steel, and resisting corrosion from alkali and atmosphere. However, Ni belongs to scarce strategic supplies, and is relatively expensive in price. Ni accounts for 0.2% to 0.75% by weight in the present invention.
Mo (molybdenum) has the characteristics of good high-temperature strength, high hardness, large density, high resistance to corrosion, small coefficient of thermal expansion, favorable conductivity to electricity and heat, and the like. Mo is very hard. Steel may become hardened after adding a little amount of Mo to steel.
P and S will reduce the plasticity, the cost will be increased when the contents of P and S are controlled to be excessively low, and the problems in steel are not always caused by inclusions.
The method for casting the integral excavator bucket from the cast steel is characterized by comprising the following steps:
1) putting cast steel components into a melting furnace and melting at 1600-1650° C., such that a charging material is molten stably and uniformly to reach a casting requirement;
2) carrying out modification treatment before furnace on molten steel: adding rare earth to the melting furnace before casting and carrying out modification treatment on molten steel at 1600-1620° C., and then putting a grain refiner to further modify the molten steel to obtain modified molten steel;
3) manufacturing models and a template: manufacturing the bottom plate provided with an aspirating chamber, and an upper model and a lower model consistent with the excavator bucket, wherein air vents are formed in edges, dead angles, internal corners and deep grooves of the upper model and the lower model, the models are fixed on the bottom plate, and the air vents are directly communicated with the aspirating chamber of the bottom plate; the aspirating chamber of the bottom plate has a function of aspirating air from the models, such that the models are at a negative pressure state; and the models are made of aluminum plates or boards;
4) coating, heating and vacuumizing: heating an EVA plastic film having a size equal to that of the models of the excavator bucket to be softened to obtain a softened film, and starting a vacuumizing device, such that the softened film is tightly clung to the upper model and the lower model in the step 3) respectively, and a cast steel coating is spray-coated and dried to obtain a coated upper model and a coated lower model;
5) placing sandboxes, adding sand and molding: putting a sandbox equipped with a filtering and aspirating system onto the upper model coated in the step 4), filling the sandbox with dry quartz sand which does not contain an adhesive and additives, starting a vibration compacting table, compacting the quartz sand in the sandbox by vibration and flattening a sand surface, then covering a layer of plastic film and sealing, opening an aspirating valve, and molding the quartz in the sandbox at a negative pressure of 4 to 9 Kpa to form an upper box cavity; and putting the other sandbox equipped with a filtering and aspirating system onto the lower model coated in the step 4), and repeatedly operating said step to form a lower box cavity;
6) performing mold closing and casting: closing the upper box cavity and the lower box cavity in the step 5), placing a casting head, pouring the molten steel subjected to modification treatment in the step 2) into a cavity formed after the upper box cavity and the lower box cavity are closed and then casting, continuously vacuumizing for 2 to 2.5 h at a negative pressure of 4 to 9 Kpa after casting is finished, releasing the negative pressure and hoisting the sandboxes, and breaking up the quartz sand to obtain a molded piece.
7) heating the molded piece in the step 6) in a heat treatment furnace to 890 to 910° C., preserving heat for 2.5 to 3 h and then quenching;
8) tempering the quenched molded piece, and naturally cooling the molded piece to room temperature after tempering is finished to obtain a tempered molded piece; and thus finishing casting of the excavator bucket.
Preferably, the melting temperature in step 1) is 1600 to 1650° C.; the molten steel casting temperature in step 6) is 1580 to 1660° C.; and the tempering conditions in the step 8) are: the tempering temperature is 540 to 560° C., and the heat preservation time is 3 to 4 h.
Preferably, the amount of rare earth added in the step 2) is 0.2% to 0.4% by weight of the molten steel, the rare earth element is lanthanum or cerium or yttrium or combinations thereof, and the modified molten steel stands for 10 to 15 minutes.
Rare earth (Re): as rare-earth elements interact with other elements in grain boundary segregation to cause variations of a grain boundary in structure, chemical components and energy and affect diffusion of other elements as well as nucleation and growth of a new phase, steel varies in tissue performance, and meanwhile has deoxidization and desulfurization performances, as well as improved lateral performance and low-temperature toughness.
Re may interact with low-melting-point harmful elements, such as P, As, Sn, Sb, Bi and Pb, not only is capable of forming compounds having relatively high melting points with these impurities, but also restricting segregation of these inclusions on grain boundaries to play a purifying role, such that impurities in steel are reduced. Rare earth is very likely to generate rare-earth oxysulfides and rare-earth sulfide to form compound inclusions or rare-earth silicate compounds which are high in melting point and very stable and may control the morphologies of inclusions. Rare earth is capable of absorbing a large amount of hydrogen and may restrict brittleness and white spots caused by hydrogen in steel. Rare earth may improve the strength and the toughness, reduce the brittle transition temperature and improve the endurance strength of steel, more particularly lateral impact toughness, and is conductive to improving the fatigue property of steel.
As described in the method of the present invention, molten steel stands after rare earth elements are added, to ensure that rare earth is sufficiently fused with elements in the molten steel and develop the functions of rare earth to refine grains and control morphologies of inclusions.
The amount of the grain refiner added in the step 2) is 0.05% to 0.2% by weight of the molten steel, and the grain refiner is added to the molten steel under the protection of a protecting gas, wherein the grain refiner is TiN or YNi2Si2 or CeS or MnSi or TiaOb or BN or CrN or TiC or NbC or CeCo4B or combinations thereof, and the grain refiner has a granularity of 10 to 500 nm, and the average grain size is 30 to 100 nm.
The protecting gas is argon or helium, such that the grain refiner is dispersed in a molten steel matrix very finely to effectively improve the effect of the grain refiner, and molten steel is protected away from the pollution from air.
The grain refiner: TiN grains have a good coherent relation with austenite and are capable of refining austenite grains intensively and improving the toughness of metals greatly. As nano-scale TIN is added to the formula as a modifier, and the nano-scale modifier is a special additive which takes a nanomaterial having a very fine dispersion size and huge surface energy as a main body, is capable of not only increasing crystallization nuclei as well as significantly refining grains and changing matrix tissue structures, but also forming uniformly distributed hard points in tissues and impeding slip and wear of crystals. Therefore, the nano-scale modifier is capable of improving the strength, the hardness, the hardenability and the toughness of steel and iron materials significantly, nano-scale TiN has the functions mainly residing in that: 1), refined crystal strengthening: the nano-scale modifier is added to molten steel, and TiN hard nanoparticles therein may become nuclei directly such that the quantity of formed crystals and the sizes of refined crystals are greatly increased, and the hardness, the toughness, the resistance, the hardenability and other properties of products are improved; 2), dispersion strengthening: nano-scale TiN has a cubic lattice, high melting point, high hardness, large surface activity, high lattice matching degree and uniformly distributed grains (30-50 nm), and is capable of filling up defects in crystals and lattices spontaneously, forming uniformly distributed hard points in tissues and impeding slip and wear of crystals, thus improving the product performances; and 3), cost reduction and benefit increase: use of a part of rare precious metals may be reduced or canceled properly, such that the cost is reduced and resources are saved.
A compound additive of YNi2Si2 or CeS or MnSi or TiaOb or BN or CrN or TiC or NbC or CeCo4B is added. Y, Ce, Ti, B, Cr and Nb each greatly differs from Fe in atomic radius with the mismatch degree exceeding 15%, and thus has relatively small solid solubility in Fe; Y, Ce, Ti, B, Cr and Nb are active elements, and can reduce the free energy and facilitate to fill up the defects at eutectic Si phases and boundaries and reduce the diffusion rate of Si atoms, thus restricting growth of eutectic Si phases and accordingly refining the eutectic Si phases; and the compound additive has the functions of refining and densifying microscopic dendritic structures inside cast steel, such that macrograin tissues are refined.
According to the invention, a grain refining effect is further controlled by strictly controlling the granularity distribution of a grain refiner, the grain refiner controls the refining efficiency of grains in a formed casting by being jointly combined with cast steel components in proportions, and meanwhile, a casting process cannot be impeded.

Si has an inoculation function and can be used for adjusting the toughness of alloy steel;
W has a function of stabilising crystals;
Si and Ba can be used for reducing the melting point of an inoculator, and has a better inoculation effect owing to melting point and fast instantaneous dispersion; and
Ca guarantees least production of slag when Ca is added to molten iron, has a synergistic effect with Ca, Ba, Si and the like, has the capability of improving the mechanical property, and thus has favorable tensile strength and wear resistance.

Furthermore, the added inoculator also has the capability of promoting a catalysis effect of oxides of P and S in a solidification process and at a solid state in later-stage steel casting on evolution of a microstructure.
