2.The role of alloying elements
There are three aspects:
①Increase the hardenability of steel. Hardenability refers to the depth of quenched martensite layer from the surface layer when the steel is quenched, which is the main parameter to obtain good comprehensive performance. Except Co, almost all alloying elements such as Mn, Mo, Cr, Ni, Si and C, N, B, etc. can improve the hardenability of steel, among which Mn, Mo, Cr, B have the strongest effect, followed by Ni , Si, Cu. The strong carbide forming elements such as V, Ti, Nb, etc., can only increase the hardenability of steel when they are dissolved in austenite.
② affect the tempering process of steel. Since alloying elements can hinder the diffusion of various atoms in the steel during tempering, they generally play a role in delaying the decomposition of martensite and the aggregation and growth of carbides compared with carbon steel at the same temperature, thereby improving the The tempering stability of steel, that is, improving the tempering softening resistance of steel, the effect of V, W, Ti, Cr, Mo, Si is more significant, and the effect of Al, Mn, Ni is not obvious. Steels containing high content of carbide forming elements such as V, W, Mo, etc., when tempered at 500 to 600 °C, precipitate fine and dispersed special carbide spots such as V4C3, Mo2C, W2C, etc., replacing some of the coarser alloys Cementite, so that the strength of the steel no longer decreases but increases, that is, secondary hardening occurs. Mo can prevent or weaken the temper brittleness of steel.
③ Affect the strengthening and toughening of steel. Ni strengthens ferrite by solid solution strengthening; carbide forming elements such as Mo, V, Nb increase the yield strength of steel by both dispersion hardening and solid solution strengthening; carbon has the most significant strengthening effect. In addition, the addition of these alloying elements generally refines the austenite grains and increases the strengthening effect of the grain boundaries. The factors affecting the toughness of steel are complex. Ni improves the toughness of steel; Mn tends to coarsen the austenite grains and is sensitive to temper brittleness; reducing the content of P and S and improving the purity of the steel are important for improving the toughness of the steel. effect.
Alloy steel has a history of more than 100 years. More industrial use of alloy steel was about the second half of the 19th century. At that time, due to the continuous increase in the production and use of steel, the machinery manufacturing industry needed to solve the processing and cutting problem of steel. In 1868, the British R.F.Mushet invented a self-hardening steel with a composition of 2.5%Mn-7%W. Increase the cutting speed to 5 m/min. With the development of commerce and transportation, a bridge with a span of 158.5 meters was built over the Mississippi River with chromium steel (1.5-2.0% Cr) in the United States in 1870; due to difficulties in processing the components, later, some industrial countries switched to nickel Steel (3.5%Ni) to build long-span bridges. At the same time, some countries also use nickel steel to build warships. With the development of engineering technology, it is required to speed up the rotation speed of machinery. In 1901, high carbon chromium rolling bearing steel appeared in Western Europe. In 1910, 18W-4Cr-1V high-speed tool steel was developed, which further increased the cutting speed to 30 m/min. It can be seen that the advent and development of alloy steel is inseparable from the requirements of the development of social productive forces, especially the needs of machinery manufacturing, transportation and military industries.
