Strength And Plasticity

A production process of high tensile strength spring steel is discussed in this paper. Sufficient aluminum was added into ladle during tapping and barium alloy was used in late refining process. It was found that the refining slag with high basicity is strongly deoxidized after refining, with total oxygen content being less than 10×10-6 in billet. Thus, the oxide inclusions in the steel is finished the transformation during refining and some complex oxide inclusions are remarkably removed at steelmaking temperature. The tensile strength over 2.0GPa and the extension rate up to 10% are obtained for the spring steel after quenching temperature at 900oC and tempering at 410 oC. So, the strength and plasticity of the steel are improved obviously.

The inclusions in ultra-low oxygen spring steel during process were studied. Sufficient aluminium was used during tapping. The refining slag has high basicity and strong reducibility. The total oxygen is only 10×10-6 in billet and the oxide inclusions in the steel have finished the transformation during refining and some complex oxide inclusions are easy to remove at steelmaking temperature. Residual oxide inclusions in the steel are CaO-MgO-Al2O3 complex inclusions with a relatively lower melting point, which have a little deform-ability during hot-working and can improve the fatigue properties of high speed wheel steel effectively.

The research centers on the production process of high tensile 60Si2CrVNb spring steel for long service life with reference to the production conditions. Key points of the research lies in: long fatigue life and control techniques of non-metallic inclusions in melting process. Hot treatment process of spring steel also involves with the research, aiming to increase the strength of material by fining grain size by Nb element. The results confirms to the size of non-metallic inclusions can be controlled below 10μm with adoption of technologies of LF slag control and barium microalloy treatment in steelmaking process. The tensile strength can be over 2.0GPa and the elongation can reach up to 10% in the event that the quenching temperature is900°C and the tempering temperature is 410°C resulting obvious increase of strength and plasticity of spring steel.

Lf Refining

The variation of non-metallic inclusions and total oxygen contents in different steel grades were investigated by taking samples in steelmaking process, including gear steel, anchor chain steel, hard wire steel, bearing steel and spring steel. The inclusions mainly were Al2O3, MnS, and their composite inclusions in aluminum killed steel at the beginning of LF refining due to addition of FeAl alloy during the tapping from EAF and feeding of Al wire in LF process, and then Al2O3 inclusion changed to the Al2O3 - CaO composite inclusions after feeding of SiCa wire. The inclusions at the beginning of LF refining mainly were MnS, SiC and their composite inclusions in non-aluminum killed steel due to addition of the composite deoxidation and slagging agents (mainly including CaC2 and SiC) when EAF taping, while the inclusions in tundish mainly were MnS, CaO - SiO2 - Al2O3 composite oxide - sulfide inclusions. It is showed that the inclusions in bearing steel and spring steel samples were mainly globular oxide inclusions and silicate inclusions with higher rated results. Therefore, the refining process should be improved to remove globular oxide inclusions. The inclusions in molten steel were controlled by enhancing the diffusion deoxidation process, adjusting and controlling the basicity and composition of refining slags, respectively, and satisfactory results were obtained. The industrial test shows that the total oxygen content of the aluminum killed steel in the test heat after feeding wire reached the minimum value, which indicates that the optimized slag has a strong ability of absorbing Al2O3 inclusions. For non-aluminum killed steel, the total oxygen content was 0.0027 % to 0.0029 % in rolled products. The inclusions in the end of refining and rolled product were small and dispersed composite inclusions, and the separate Al2O3 inclusions can not be found in the non-aluminum killed steel after optimization of the refining process.

Products by solid-state recycling of aluminum chips in hot extrusion process were controlled by temperature related parameters using preheating temperature 450 °C, 500 °C, and 550 °C for 1 hr, 2 hr, and 3 hr preheating time. By using Design of Experiments (DOE), the results found that the preheating temperature is more important to be controlled rather than the preheating time and increasing of temperature led to the high tensile strength. The profile extruded at 550 °C with 3 hr duration had gained the optimum case to get the maximum tensile strength. For the optimum case, heat treatment was carried out using quenching temperature at 530 oC for 2 h and aging process at 175 oC for 4 h. The tensile strength of extrudes specimen was improved significantly compared to those of non-treated specimen.
