Effect of Ageing Annealing on Strength Properties of Carbon Steel

The advantages of cold drawn carbon steel include high precision, high mechanical properties, which are widely used in the automotive industry. The mechanical properties of this type of cold drawn steel are strict, and it has strong tensile strength compared with ordinary carbon steel. And the yield strength, elongation after break, hardness and other performance indicators are higher than the national standard. The strength index of the production process after annealing, straightening, drawing and polishing according to the conventional process route can reach 550 MPa or more. Many users require higher performance steel to increase the life of the workpiece. By improving the surface reduction rate before the finished product is processed, the performance index can reach 720 MPa, especially the tensile strength reaches 750 MPa or more. According to the previous process route, the tensile strength of the finished product is up to 700MPa, which is for the production of high mechanical tensile strength 735MPa to 900MPa, yield strength ≥430MPa, elongation after fracture ≥7%, hardness HB210-HB265, such as cold drawn steel material C45.
The steel after cold drawing deformation is heated to a certain temperature after aging heat treatment for heat preservation. Since the steel after cold drawing has a metastable structure, the mechanical properties and physical properties of the steel change with the increase of the holding time at a certain temperature, and there is no significant change in the microstructure of the steel to achieve improvement to improve mechanical properties and reach the purpose of stabilizing steel size and shape. The strength of the cold drawn steel after aging is improved, and it is considered that the fine particles such as cementite and oxide which are decomposed in the ferrite inside the steel strengthen the steel. Regarding the aging treatment temperature, the furnace and the steel type in the production process can be used according to the specific conditions, and some adopt aging treatment at 200°C to 300°C or 380°C to 400°C, and also adopt higher temperature. When the steel material is heat-treated, the steel material heat-treated by the same heat treatment system can be treated in the same furnace for convenience, and the mechanical properties of India and steel are analyzed by representative samples, and the analysis is continuously improved to help users obtain the products they need.

Study on Cooling Method of SUP9 Spring Flat Steel

Study on Cooling Method of SUP9 Spring Flat Steel Hot rolled spring flat steel bar is mainly used for the automotive industry, and it’s the raw material for automobile leaf spring  manufacturing. The main varieties of spring steel include 60Si2Mn spring steel,  SUP9 spring steel flat bar , 55SiMnVB spring steel. SUP9 spring steel flat bar is produced in accordance with the Japanese standard. At present, many leaf spring manufacturers mostly use SUP9 spring steel as the raw material for manufacturing automotive leaf springs. Compared with 60Si2Mn, SUP9 spring steel has good hardenability and low decarburization tendency, so the mechanical properties and fatigue properties of the leaf springs produced with SUP9 spring steel are better than that of 60Si2Mn steel. However, due to the good hardenability of  SUP9 steel , the hardness is often too high during actual rolling production and cooling. The reheating, quenching and tempering treatment are carried out in...

Development of A32 and A36 High Strength Shipbuilding Steel Plates

Development of A32 and A36 High Strength Shipbuilding Steel Plates Since the 1990s, China’s  shipbuilding steel plates  industry has entered the international market on a large scale, and the shipbuilding steel plates industry has gradually become one of the pillar industries in China. With the development of shipbuilding steel plates in the direction of large-scale and light-weight, the general strength ship plates can no longer meet the needs of the hull, and the proportion of high-strength ship plates will continue to increase. Therefore, the development of high-strength shipbuilding plates has broad market prospects. Structural steel for hull can be divided into general strength steel and high strength steel. A32 and A36 are one type of structural steel for high strength hull. With the development of the shipbuilding industry, the requirements for materials are becoming more and more demanding. At present, in the factory approval, besides the certification of the ...
