Heat the steel to 500~650°C, keep it for a certain period of time, and then slowly cool down (usually cooling with the furnace)

Eliminate the internal stress generated during welding and cold straightening of steel parts, and eliminate the internal stress generated during cutting of precision parts to prevent deformation during subsequent processing and use

Stress relief annealing is suitable for all kinds of castings, forgings, weldments and cold extrusion parts.

2. normalizing

Heat the steel to 40~60°C above the critical temperature, keep it for a certain period of time, and then cool it in the air.

① Improve the organizational structure and cutting performance

② For parts that do not require high mechanical properties, normalizing is commonly used as the final heat treatment.

③ Elimination of internal stress

3. Quenching

Heat the steel to the quenching temperature, hold it for a period of time, and then quickly cool it in water, salt water or oil (individual materials in air)

① Make steel parts get higher hardness and wear resistance

② Make the steel parts get some special properties after tempering, such as high strength, elasticity and toughness.

 

 

 

 

 

 

quenching

Fire

Class

Don't.

(1) Single-liquid quenching

The steel is heated to the quenching temperature and cooled in a quenching agent after insulation.

Single liquid quenching is only suitable for carbon steel and alloy steel parts with relatively simple shape and low technical requirements. When quenching, for carbon steel parts with diameter or thickness greater than 5~8mm, brine or water cooling is selected; alloy steel parts are cooled with oil

(2) Two-liquid quenching

Heat the steel to the quenching temperature, after heat preservation, quickly cool it to 300-400°C in water, and then move it to oil for cooling.

 

(3) flame surface quenching

The flame of mixed combustion of acetylene and oxygen is sprayed on the surface of the part to quickly heat the part to the quenching temperature, and then immediately spray water on the surface of the part. The flame surface quenching is suitable for single-piece or small-batch production. The surface is required to be hard and wear-resistant, and Can withstand impact load large medium carbon steel and medium carbon alloy steel parts, such as crankshafts, gears and guide rails

 

(4) Surface induction quenching

Fire

The steel part is placed in the inductor, the inductor generates a magnetic field under the action of a certain frequency of alternating current, and the steel part generates an induced current under the action of the magnetic field, so that the surface of the steel part is rapidly heated (2-lOmin) to the quenching temperature, and water is immediately sprayed onto the surface of the steel part.

After surface induction hardening parts, the surface is hard and wear-resistant, while the core maintains good strength and toughness.

Surface induction hardening is suitable for medium carbon steel and alloy steel with medium carbon content.

 

 

4. Tempering

Heat the quenched steel below the critical temperature, hold it for a period of time, and then cool it in air or oil

Tempering is carried out immediately after quenching and is the last process of heat treatment.

① Obtain the required mechanical properties. Under normal circumstances, the strength and hardness of the parts after quenching are greatly improved, but the plasticity and toughness are significantly reduced, and the actual working conditions of the parts require good strength and toughness. After selecting an appropriate tempering temperature for tempering, the required mechanical properties can be obtained

② Stable organization, stable size

③ Elimination of internal stress

 

(1) Low temperature tempering

The hardened steel parts are heated to 150-50°C, and held at this temperature for a certain period of time, and then cooled in the air. Low-temperature tempering is mostly used for cutting tools, measuring tools, molds, rolling bearings and carburized parts.

Don't.

(1) medium temperature tempering

Heat the quenched steel to 350~450%, and cool it down after a period of time. It is generally used for all kinds of springs and hot stamping dies and other parts.

The steel to obtain a higher elasticity, a certain degree of toughness and hardness

 

(1) high temperature tempering

The quenched steel parts are heated to 500~650°C, and cooled after heat preservation. They are mainly used for important structural parts that require high strength and high toughness, such as spindles, crankshafts, cams, gears and connecting rods, etc.

The steel to obtain better comprehensive mechanical properties, that is, high strength and toughness and sufficient hardness, to eliminate the steel due to quenching and internal stress

5. Quenching and tempering

The quenched steel parts are tempered at high temperature (500~600°C) and are mostly used for important structural parts, such as shafts, gears, connecting rods and other quenching and tempering are generally carried out after rough machining.

Grain refinement, so that the steel to obtain high toughness and sufficient strength, so that it has good comprehensive mechanical properties.

(1) Artificial aging

The quenched steel is heated to 100~160 ℃, after a long time of insulation, and then cooled.

Eliminate internal stress, reduce part deformation, and stabilize dimensions. It is more important for parts with higher precision requirements

(2) Natural aging

Place castings in the open air; steel parts (such as long shafts, lead screws, etc.) placed in sea water or long-term suspension or gently tapping to be naturally aged parts, it is best to roughing first

7. Chemical heat treatment

Put the steel parts into a chemical medium containing some active atoms (such as carbon, nitrogen, chromium, etc.), and make some atoms in the medium penetrate into the surface of the steel parts by heating, heat preservation, cooling and other methods, so as to change the chemical composition of the surface of the steel parts and make the surface of the steel parts have some special properties.
