冷却速率和奥氏体化温度对40 Cr钢球化退火的影响

为探究奥氏体化温度和冷却速率对40Cr钢球化过程的影响,采用双相区球化退火研究了热轧态40Cr钢的球化退火行为和力学性能。奥氏体化温度从760℃提高到800℃,冷却速率从10℃·h-1上升到30℃·h-1,组织硬度随冷却速度呈V形变化,碳化物球化率随冷却速度变化正好与前者相反。奥氏体化温度为760℃,冷却速率为20℃·h-1所得到的球化组织球化率高,且碳化物细小,具有良好的冷成形性能,可大幅度缩短球化退火时间,显著提高生产效率。提出了球化退火过程中离异共析转变机制,控制好球化过程中奥氏体化温度、冷却速率及保温时间有利于离异共析转变的发生。

Effect of cooling rate and austenitizing temperature on the spheroidizing annealing of 40 Cr steel

To study the impact of austenitizing temperature and cooling rate on the spheroidizing annealing process of 40Cr steel, the spheroidizing annealing behavior and the mechanical properties of 40Cr steel were investigated by conventional intercritical annea-ling. It is found that with the austenitizing temperature between 760℃ and 800℃, the hardness varies as a “V” shape but the ce-mentite spheroidization rate changes as an inverted“V” shape with increasing cooling rate from 10℃·h-1 to 30℃·h-1 . Higher sphe-roidization level and finer carbides, which are obtained at an austenitizing temperature of 760℃ and a cooling rate of 20℃·h-1 , make the steel having a better cold formability. A divorced eutectoid transformation ( DET) reaction mechanism of the spheroidizing annea-ling process was proposed, and the occurrence of the divorced eutectoid transformation reaction depends strongly on austenitizing tem-perature, cooling rate and holding time.
