The quenching temperature of low temperature steel pipe is A3+(30~50)℃. In actual operation, the upper limit is generally taken. A higher quenching temperature can speed up the heating speed of low-temperature steel pipes, reduce surface oxidation, and improve work efficiency. In order to homogenize the austenite of the workpiece, sufficient holding time is required. If the actual amount of furnace installed is large, the holding time needs to be extended appropriately. Otherwise, there may be insufficient hardness due to uneven heating. However, if the holding time is too long, coarse grains and serious oxidative decarburization will also occur, which will affect the quenching quality. We believe that if the installed furnace volume is greater than the provisions of the process documents, the heating and holding time needs to be extended by 1/5.
Because of the low hardenability of low-temperature steel pipes, a 10% saline solution with a high cooling rate should be used. After the workpiece enters the water, it should be quenched, but not cold. If the 45# precision steel pipe is cooled in salt water, it may crack the workpiece. This is because when the workpiece is cooled to about 180°C, the austenite rapidly transforms into horses. It is caused by the excessive structural stress caused by the body. Therefore, when the quenched low-temperature steel pipe is rapidly cooled to this temperature region, a slow cooling method should be adopted. Since the temperature of the outlet water is difficult to control, it must be operated by experience. When the shaking of the workpiece in the water stops, the outlet can be cooled by air (oil cooling is better). In addition, the workpiece should be moved but not static when entering water, and should be moved regularly according to the geometric shape of the workpiece. The static cooling medium and the static workpiece result in uneven hardness, uneven stress and large deformation or even cracking of the workpiece.
The hardness of the quenched and tempered part of low temperature steel pipe after quenching should reach HRC56~59. The possibility of large cross-section is lower, but it cannot be lower than HRC48. Otherwise, it means that the workpiece has not been completely quenched, and sorbite or even ferrite may appear in the structure. Organization, this kind of organization is still retained in the matrix through tempering, failing to achieve the purpose of quenching and tempering.
The high temperature tempering of low temperature steel pipe after quenching, the heating temperature is usually 560~600℃, and the hardness requirement is HRC22~34. Because the purpose of quenching and tempering is to obtain comprehensive mechanical properties, the hardness range is relatively wide. However, if the drawings have hardness requirements, the tempering temperature must be adjusted according to the drawings to ensure the hardness. For example, some shaft-type low-temperature steel pipes require high strength and hardness requirements; and some gears and shaft parts with keyways need to be milled and inserted after quenching and tempering, so the hardness requirements are lower. Regarding the tempering and holding time, it depends on the hardness requirements and the size of the workpiece. We believe that the hardness after tempering depends on the tempering temperature, and has little to do with the tempering time, but it must be back through. Generally, the tempering and holding time of the workpiece is always More than one hour.
