Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of spring steel heat treatment, in particular to a heat treatment method for mechanical detection of high-strength spring steel.

Background

Spring steel refers to steel that is used specifically for the manufacture of springs and elastic elements. The elasticity of steel depends on its ability to deform elastically, i.e. within a specified range, to withstand a certain load without permanent deformation after the load is removed. The spring steel should have excellent overall properties such as mechanical properties, anti-creep properties, fatigue properties, hardenability, etc.

In order to verify the qualification of the high-strength spring steel, the mechanical property test after heat treatment is required when the high-strength spring steel is delivered from a factory, a proportion sample with the diameter of 10mm is generally adopted, a sample blank with a certain machining allowance is reserved, and the longitudinal mechanical property of the steel is measured after the heat treatment and the machining allowance removal. Because the sample is small, the existing heat treatment method is to use a box-type heating furnace for quenching at the temperature of more than 800 ℃, oil quenching and tempering at the temperature of more than 400 ℃. The method has the defects that the display temperature of the box type heating furnace is the furnace temperature, the heating temperature of the sample is not the same, the temperature fluctuation is large, and the error of the detected mechanical property distance truth value is large. Meanwhile, in order to enable the sample to be soaked, the heat preservation time is long, so that the austenite grain size of the sample is large, the toughness of the sample is reduced, and the mechanical property test result of the high-strength spring steel is often not good. In addition, the total time of heat treatment is usually more than two hours for sufficient heat preservation, so that the time cost is increased, and the production efficiency is reduced.

Method of the invention

The invention aims to provide a heat treatment method for mechanical detection of high-strength spring steel, which can improve the mechanical property index of heat treatment of the spring steel, reduce the production inspection time and improve the production efficiency.

In order to achieve the purpose, the technical scheme of the invention is as follows: a heat treatment method for mechanical detection of high-strength spring steel is characterized by comprising a spring steel heat treatment system, an induction heater, an infrared thermometer, a temperature controller, a quenching tank, a sample clamp and other indispensable electrical elements, wherein the spring steel heat treatment system has induction heating, temperature measuring, temperature controlling and cooling functions; the infrared thermometer measures the temperature of the sample heated by the induction heater, and the heating temperature and the heat preservation time are controlled by the temperature controller.

A heat treatment method for mechanical detection of high-strength spring steel comprises the following steps:

(1) placing a sample in the induction coil, starting a power supply, and aligning an infrared thermometer to the central point of the cross section of the sample;

(2) setting a specified quenching temperature and heat preservation time on a temperature controller;

(3) starting, and automatically stopping the induction coil after the heating temperature and the heat preservation time set in the step (2) are finished;

(4) taking out the sample by using sample pliers, and putting the sample into a quenching tank for quenching;

(5) after drying the sample, continuously placing the sample into an induction coil, repeating the step (2), starting a temperature controller, setting a designated tempering temperature and heat preservation time, and repeating the step (3);

(6) and taking out the sample, cooling the sample to room temperature, and measuring the mechanical property of the sample on a tensile testing machine.

Compared with the prior art, the invention has the advantages that: the heating time is short, the grain size of the sample is fine, the mechanical property is higher, the determination temperature is the sample temperature, the temperature determination is accurate, the spring steel production inspection time is reduced, and the production efficiency is improved.

The high-strength spring steel mechanical detection heat treatment method provided by the invention is used for heating through the induction heater, and controlling the heating temperature and the heat preservation time through the infrared thermometer and the temperature controller, so that the heat treatment of the quenching and tempering process of the spring steel sample can be performed, and the mechanical property value after the heat treatment can be accurately obtained.

By adopting the spring steel heat treatment device, aiming at the steel 55SiCrV (shown in table 1) for the automobile suspension spring with the diameter of 18mm, the heat treatment process steps and parameters are as follows:

(1) processing a sample into a proportional sample (examples 1 and 2) with the diameter of 10mm and the total length of 110mm, putting the proportional sample into a quartz tube of an induction coil (the length of the quartz tube is multiplied by the diameter of 18mm multiplied by 20mm), turning on a power supply, and aligning an infrared thermometer to the central point of the cross section of the sample;

(2) setting the quenching temperature to 860 ℃ on a temperature controller control panel, and keeping the temperature for 4 s;

(3) starting the induction heater, and automatically stopping the work of the induction coil after the temperature and the heat preservation time are set in the step (2);

(4) immediately taking out the sample by using the sample clamp, putting the sample into a quenching tank for quenching, and airing the sample after quenching;

The heat-treated sample was subjected to a tensile test. The results are shown in Table 2.

In addition, the austenite grain size and the quenched and tempered structure of the sample were measured by the above two heat treatment methods, respectively, and the results are shown in table 2.
