    摘要: The invention refers to hardening thermal treatment of the perlite-class steel. The technical result is to obtain a finer austenite grain ##11-13 GOST5639 (ASTM), more stable hardenability level (DI), with a substantially smaller deviation and which strictly corresponds to the depth of the hardened layer obtained directly on parts subjected to thermal treatment, as well as the ability of treating thinner, smaller and other parts with the through-surface and through-thickness hardening. To achieve the technical result, a method for thermal treatment of parts made from low (LH) and specified (SH) hardenability structural steel is proposed for parts shaped as a sphere, cylinder, plate, including through-surface hardening by through-surface heating of the part or its effective cross-section, up to the temperatures of austenitization and cooling with a liquid refrigerant at the rate of more than 40,000 kcal/m2.h.0C., tempering, with hardening of parts made from steel containing the following components, weight %: carbon—.15-1.2, manganese—no more than 1.8, silicon—not more than 1.8, chrome—not more than 1.8, nickel—not more than 1.8, molybdenum—not more than .5, tungsten—not more than 1.5, boron—not more than .007, copper—not more than .9, aluminum—.03-.1, titanium—not more than .4, vanadium—not more than .4, nitrogen—not more than .1, zirconium—not more than .4, calcium—not more than .03, sulphur—not more than .035, phosphorous—not more than .035, iron and unavoidable admixtures—rem., with the ideal diameter determined by the formula: Dkp.=K·{square root over (C)}·(1+4.1·Mn)·(1+0.65·Si)·(1+2,33·Cr)·(1+0.52·Ni)·(1+0.27·Cu)·(1+3.14·Mo)·(1+1.05·W)·[1+1.5(0.9−C)]·(1−0.45C′)·(1−0.3Ti)·(1−0.35V)·(1−0.25 Al) where Der is the ideal diameter (DI), mm K—is the coefficient whose value depends on the actual austenite grain size ##6-13 according to the ASTM scale, GOST5639; C, Mn, Si, Cr, Ni, Cu, Mo, W are the components, weight %, contained in the austenite solid solution at the final heating temperature preceding hardening cooling, [1+1.5(0.9−C.)] is the multiplicand taken into account only if boron is present in steel in the amount of .002-.007 weight %; C′, Ti, V, Al are components, weight %, not contained in the austenite solid solution, but present in the form of structurally-free secondary carbonitride phases at the final heating temperature preceding hardening cooling, C′ is carbon content in the excessive hypereutectoid steel cementite, with surface hardening done through a pre-specified depth the value of which is determined from a graph depending on the sphre cylinder diameter, plate thickness and ideal diameter.

    摘要: The invention refers to metallurgy, in particular to making low (LH) and specified (SH) hardenability steels in electric arc, induction furnaces or oxygen converters. A metallurgical unit is loaded with metal charge consisting of iron carbon alloy, scrap with a specified content of manganese, silicon, chrome, nickel and copper, providing for the final content of each of them of not more than 0.1 weight %, graphite, slag-forming components, refining of the melt with respect of carbon content prior to heat tapping in a ladle of ladle furnace is done in an electric arc or induction furnace until the carbon content conforms to the corresponding upper tolerance limit or lower than that in the converter followed by carburization in the ladle, slag composition adjustment during the refining and pure rimming periods is done by flushing a portion of slag and recurrent addition of slag-forming materials to the remaining portion of the slag to make sure the content of each of the permanent admixtures in the melt during tapping is not more than 0.1 weight %, then the melt is deoxidized in the ladle or ladle furnace with aluminum (1.0-2.5 kg/t), titanium and vanadium. The invention makes it possible to obtain better mechanical properties and stable hardenability characterized by the ideal diameter (DI): DI of a billet from 6 to 15 mm has a deviation of not more than 2 mm; DI of a billet from 16 to 50 mm has a deviation of not more than 5 mm; DI of a billet from 51 to 100 mm has a deviation of not more than 10 mm; DI of a billet over 100 mm has a deviation of less than 50 mm and better mechanical properties.
