(Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a wear-resistant nitriding steel, particularly a wear-resistant nitriding steel forming a porous compound layer. (Prior art) Nitriding is a type of surface hardening method, but A 1
Since the process is carried out at a temperature below the transformation point, generally in the temperature range of about 500 to 580°C, it does not cause large heat treatment distortions in the object, unlike carburizing and quenching. For this reason, nitriding treatment is widely applied to mechanical structural parts, wear-resistant parts, and the like. Conventionally, JIS-SCM435 was used as the steel for nitriding.
(0.35C−0.75Mn−1.1Cr−0.2Mo) and SACM645
(0.45C−0.4Si−1.5Cr−0.2Mo−1.0Al), but since the required hardening characteristics could not be obtained, many types of steel specifically for nitriding have recently been proposed (e.g. Japanese Patent Publication No. 59-16949, No. 59-31850
No. 59-50158, No. 58-171558, Special Publication No. 1971
−3424 etc.). However, the main focus of these nitrided steels has been on increasing the hardening depth and surface hardness in order to improve fatigue strength, pitting resistance, and wear resistance. In particular, efforts have been made to improve surface hardness when increasing wear resistance. Therefore, C, which reduces surface hardness, is regarded as a harmful element, and the C content is kept to the minimum necessary. From this point of view, C was never contained in an amount exceeding 0.5%. On the other hand, as is well known in the past, the hardened layer produced by nitriding includes a diffusion layer that is hardened by solid solution strengthening due to intruding N and precipitation strengthening of nitrides, and a diffusion layer that is hardened by solid solution strengthening due to intruding N and precipitation strengthening of nitrides. It consists of a nitride layer or compound layer of Fe and alloying elements (Cr, Al, V, etc.). In this regard, as already mentioned, in conventional nitrided steels, emphasis was placed only on the hardness of the hardened layer, such as surface hardness and hardening depth, and little consideration was given to the properties of the compound layer. (Problems to be solved by the invention) As described above, in conventional nitrided steel, the properties of the compound layer are not considered, and only improvements in the compound layer hardness (surface hardness) and hardening depth are made. Because of the emphasis placed on these, the content of C, which causes these deteriorations, was limited to 0.5% or less, as mentioned above. For this reason, the ductility and toughness of the compound layer are poor,
Also, the core was not sufficiently hard. (Means for solving the problem) Therefore, the inventors of the present invention aimed to develop nitrided steel with even better wear resistance, and as a result of conducting intensive research,
It has been found that the wear resistance of nitriding steel is not simply determined by the surface hardness, but is also affected by the density of the compound layer, that is, whether the compound layer is porous. In other words, the compound layer made of nitride produced by nitriding has a porous structure, so
They discovered that if the lubricant is retained in these pores and an appropriate lubrication effect is performed, the wear resistance can actually be improved. As is well known, the surface hardness of the nitriding steel, that is, the hardness of the compound layer, decreases as the C content increases, and the wear resistance tends to deteriorate. However, according to the findings of the present inventors, the density of the compound layer, that is, the degree of porousness, increases as the C content increases, and the lubricating action of the lubricant improves, which tends to improve the wear resistance. be. Of course, if the density becomes extremely low, the structure itself becomes weak and the wear resistance deteriorates again. Regarding nitride-forming elements such as Cr, Al, and V, as their content increases, the composition of the compound layer becomes harder and wear-resistant because the proportion of each nitride of Cr, Al, and V increases. This improves hardness, but at the same time it also makes it more brittle. Thus, the present inventors added C in a larger amount than before to make the compound layer porous to improve wear resistance, and at the same time, controlled the content of alloying elements such as Cr, Al, and V within appropriate ranges. The present invention has been completed based on the finding that by limiting the amount of heat to the nitrided steel, embrittlement of the compound layer can be prevented and a nitrided steel with significantly improved wear resistance than conventional nitrided steel can be obtained. Here, the present invention provides, in weight%, C: more than 0.5% and 0.8% or less, Si: more than 0.5% and 1.2% or less, Mn: 0.6 to 1.5%, Cr: 0.2 to 1.5%, V: 0.02 to 0.25%, sol.Al: 0.02~0.25%, further as required, S: 0.04~0.13%, Pb:
0.03-0.35% and Ca: 1 out of 0.001-0.01%
It is a wear-resistant nitriding steel that contains one or more types of iron and the remainder is Fe and unavoidable impurities. Here, nitriding steel means steel suitable for nitriding treatment, and nitriding treatment refers to any nitriding treatment that produces a compound layer consisting of nitrides, such as gas nitriding, ion nitriding, and gas soft nitriding. , liquid nitrocarburizing treatment, etc. "Abrasion resistance" as referred to in the present invention is a property exhibited by retaining a lubricant in a porous compound layer formed on the surface. In addition, as mentioned above, the steel of the present invention has a higher C content than the conventional steel, so it is inferior in terms of pure hardening depth;
In fact, because the core hardness has been significantly improved, the apparent hardening depth is equal to or greater than that of conventional products, and the fatigue strength is also greater than that of conventional products, making it suitable for mechanical structural members. (Function) Next, the reason why the composition range of the steel of the present invention was limited as described above will be described below. In addition, unless otherwise specified, "%" in this specification refers to "% by weight".
It is. C (Carbon): As mentioned above, as C increases, the hardness of the compound layer decreases and the wear resistance tends to deteriorate. Abrasion resistance in combination with additives tends to be better. Therefore, there is an appropriate range of C content for wear resistance, and according to the present invention, that range is 0.5%.
Super, 0.8% or less. That is, if the content is less than 0.5%, the compound layer will have a high density, that is, it will not be sufficiently porous, resulting in a low lubricant retention ability and poor wear resistance. On the other hand, if it exceeds 0.8%, the density of the compound layer becomes too small, resulting in structural brittleness, and the hardness of the compound layer becomes extremely low, resulting in poor wear resistance. Furthermore, since the steel of the present invention has an absolutely low surface hardness, it is necessary to increase the apparent hardening depth by increasing the core hardness and improve the fatigue strength. For this purpose, a C content of more than 0.5% is necessary, but if it exceeds 0.8%, the mixture of reticular pro-eutectoid cementite into the base structure becomes severe, resulting in a significant deterioration of toughness. For the above reasons, the C content is over 0.5% and 0.8%.
The following was made. Preferably it is 0.6-0.7%. Si (silicon): Si is usually added as a deoxidizing agent, but in the present invention, Si is also effective in improving solid solution strengthening and temper softening resistance, and as a result increases the core hardness after nitriding treatment. added for. Therefore, the higher the amount added, the better, but 1.2%
If it exceeds 1.2%, the nitriding properties (surface hardness, hardening depth) begin to deteriorate, so the upper limit was set at 1.2%. 0.5 to ensure the specified solid solution strengthening and tempering softening resistance.
Add more than %. Preferably it is 0.60-1.20%. Mn (manganese): Mn is essential as a deoxidizing agent during steel manufacturing, and is also effective in improving the strength and toughness of the core, and a minimum of 0.6% is required to ensure the performance of nitrided products. However, since the effect is small even when added in excess of 1.5%, the lower limit was set to 0.6% and the upper limit to 1.5%. Cr (Chromium): Cr forms extremely hard Cr nitride in the compound layer on the outermost surface of the nitrided product. becomes higher. In addition, since Cr nitride is also generated in the diffusion layer, the hardening depth increases. Therefore, the greater the amount of Cr added, the better the wear resistance, but for this purpose at least 0.2% is necessary. However, if too much is added, for example, more than 1.5%,
When the embrittlement of the compound layer becomes significant and the nitrided product is deformed, cracks occur and the compound layer is likely to peel off. Moreover, if it is added in excess of 1.5%, the hardening depth will actually decrease. Based on the above, the lower limit was set at 0.2% and the upper limit was set at 1.5%. Preferably it is 0.7-1.2%. V (vanadium): Similar to Cr, V creates V carbonitride in the compound layer and diffusion layer of the nitrided product, increasing the hardness of the compound layer and increasing the hardening depth. . In particular, although V has a smaller effect on improving the hardness of the compound layer than Cr, it has an extremely large effect on increasing the hardening depth. However, the effect not only does not increase any further, but also causes the compound layer to become brittle, so the lower limit was set at 0.02% and the upper limit was set at 0.25%. preferably 0.05
~0.20%. sol.Al (acid soluble aluminum): Like Cr, Al also forms nitrides in the compound layer and diffusion layer of the nitrided product, increasing the hardness of the compound layer and increasing the hardening depth. Al is
Compared to Cr, the effect of improving the hardness of the compound layer is greater than the effect of improving the hardening depth, and in particular, the effect does not decrease at all even when the C content is high, so the addition of Al is essential. For this at least 0.02%
However, if it is added in excess of 0.25%, the compound layer will become significantly brittle and there is concern that surface cracks will occur during deformation. For the above reasons, the lower limit
0.02%, with an upper limit of 0.25%. Preferably 0.05~
It is 0.20%. S, Pb, Ca: These components are optionally added components and are effective in improving machinability when cutting is performed before nitriding treatment. In particular, the steel of the present invention has a high C content and the machinability of the matrix is poor, so one or more of these elements may be contained depending on the degree of required machinability. These elements have no effect on the hardness or hardening depth of the compound layer. The minimum amounts added to improve machinability are S: 0.04%, Pb: 0.03%, and Ca: 0.001%. In addition, when S exceeds 0.13% and Pb exceeds 0.35%, the strength and pitting resistance decrease significantly.
It is difficult to add more than 0.01% of Ca due to the melting process. For the above reasons, the lower limit for S is 0.04.
%, upper limit 0.13%, lower limit 0.03% for Pb, upper limit
0.35%, lower limit for Ca is 0.01%, upper limit is 0.01%
limited to. Note that in the invention described in claim 1, S is not actively added, but S: 0.01 to 0.01 as an unavoidable impurity.
Approximately 0.03% is mixed in. Next, the present invention will be further explained with reference to Examples. Example Steel having the composition shown in Table 1 was melted in the atmosphere in a high-frequency melting furnace, made into a steel ingot, hot forged into a round bar with a diameter of 30 mm, and normalized at 950°C for 1 hour.

The measurement was performed on the end face of the wear test piece. Steel types No. 1 to No. 11 are steels according to the present invention, and the steel types
No. 12 to No. 14 have C content, and steel No. 15 and 16 have
In terms of Cr content, steel grades No. 17 and 18 are comparative steels that are outside the scope of the present invention in terms of V content, and steel grades No. 19 and 20 are out of the scope of the present invention in terms of sol.Al content. As can be seen from the results in Table 1, the steel of the present invention:
In each case, the specific wear amount is 5.9 mg/cm 2 or less, the limit deflection is 2.3 mm or more, and the hardening depth is 0.13 mm or more, which shows that all the properties are excellent. On the other hand, the comparative steel is extremely inferior in any one of specific wear amount, limit deflection amount, and hardening depth. Next, for steel types No. 12, 13, 1, 2, 3, and 14, which can be considered to have substantially the same composition except for the C content, we calculated the specific wear amount and critical deflection of the samples subjected to gas nitrocarburizing treatment. When sorted by amount, the results are as shown in Figure 3, and it can be seen that the specific wear amount is the smallest within the C content range of 0.5 to 0.8%, and that the limit deflection amount does not decrease within this range. (Effects) As described above, according to the present invention, a nitriding steel with excellent wear resistance and at the same time excellent ductility of the hardened layer can be obtained, and it can be seen that the present invention has made a large contribution to this field.
