摘要: 风电、高铁等高端齿轮产品工作环境比较复杂、恶劣,对齿面硬度及韧性要求高,一旦发生损伤,维修成本高。针对这一现状,对18CrNiMo7-6渗碳钢设计磁场深冷处理正交试验方案,选择最优工艺组进行洛氏硬度检测,并采用光学显微镜观察其显微组织与晶粒度。与常规热处理结果进行对比,探索磁场深冷处理对18CrNiMo7-6渗碳钢冲击韧性、硬度及微观组织的影响。结果表明,磁场深冷处理后的冲击韧性和硬度均有所提升。最优工艺参数为磁场强度为1 T,且不进行交变处理、深冷温度为-190℃、保冷时间为16 h、降温速率为2℃/min,其冲击韧性比常规热处理提高38.07%,洛氏硬度值提高9.49%。微观组织分析表明,磁场深冷处理能促进试样组织中残余奥氏体转变,并细化晶粒。Abstract: The working environment of high-end gear products such as wind power and high-speed railway is complex and harsh, and the requirements for tooth surface hardness and toughness are high. In case of damage, the maintenance cost is high. In view of the situation, the orthogonal test schemes of magnetic deep cryogenic treatment was designed for18Cr Ni Mo7-6 carburized steel, the optimal process groups were selected for Rockwell hardness testing, and their microstructure and grain size were observed by optical microscope.Compared with the results of conventional heat treatment,the effects of magnetic deep cryogenic treatment on the impact toughness, hardness and microstructure of 18CrNiMo7-6carburized steel were explored. The results show that the impact toughness and hardness are improved after magnetic deep cryogenic treatment. The optimum process parameters are that the magnetic field strength is 1 T, without alternating treatment,the deep cryogenic temperature is-190 ℃, the cold holding time is 16 h, and the cooling rate is 2 ℃/min. The impact toughness increases by 38.07% and Rockwell hardness increases by 9.49% compared with that of the conventional heat treatment. The microstructure analysis shows that the magnetic deep cryogenic treatment can promote the transformation of residual austenite and refine the grains.
