Abstract

Abstract: Using the actual production of punching and stripping materials from 04Cr13Ni5Mo steel runner wheel forgings, and specimens were taken from the surface and the center, respectively. Heat treatments under different processes (960 ℃ primary normalizing+590 ℃ primary tempering, (990 ℃+960 ℃) double normalizing+590 ℃ primary tempering, and (990 ℃+960 ℃) double normalizing+(550 ℃+590 ℃) double tempering) were carried out. And inclusions and grain sizes before and after heat treatment were compared and analyzed to determine the optimal heat treatment process. Finally, actual production verification was carried out. The results show that after three different heat treatments, there are no obvious changes in the grain size and inclusion of the 04Cr13Ni5Mo steel forgings compared with those before heat treatment. The grain size remains at grade 4.0 to 4.5. Increasing the number of tempering times during heat treatment can significantly refine the width of the martensite lath bundles in the 04Cr13Ni5Mo steel forgings, and make the microstructure more uniform. In actual production, after heat-treated by double normalizing (990 ℃+960 ℃) and double tempering (550 ℃+590 ℃), the grain size of the 04Cr13Ni5Mo steel forging products is grade 3.5, the KV₂ at 0 ℃ is 235.1 J, which is 195.9% of the standard lower limit value (120 J), far exceeding the design requirements, the inclusion is class D, with a grade of 1.0, and meets the requirements of GB/T 10561—2023 standard, and the tensile properties basically meet the technical requirements.
