In the production process of iron and steel plate products, when the blank is pressed, the surface wrinkle, the surface is not flat phenomenon, is a common punching defect.

This not only leads to the waste of raw materials, sometimes also increases the subsequent scrap, such as automotive stamping parts wrinkle, will directly lead to the welding process after welding poor quality or even welding joint cracking.So how does the wrinkling happen?

When the steel plate is pressed and deformed, it is subjected to the tensile stress in the plane drawing direction and the compressive stress in the plate thickness direction.Under certain pressure, the thinner the plate, the easier to wrinkle.

At the same time, during the processing, the maximum tangential compressive stress appears on the edge of the flange, that is, the wrinkle on the outer edge is the most obvious.

Product wrinkling mainly from three aspects to find the reasons:

1、Parts design

Is the product model reasonably taking into account the molding problem, is the press bar set too small?Does the place that crinkle easily need to add to absorb crinkle rib?

Solution: increase the bar or change the layout of the bar.Add wrinkle absorbent to scrap section.

2、Process design

A) the pressure surface is loose and tight

Solution: repair the grinding press surface.

B) unreasonable shape of filling surface

Solution: modify the shape of the feed surface to avoid the uneven material flow caused by its shape immobility.

C) reasons for blanks.The blank is too small or the blank is not positioned properly in the mold

Solution: increase the blank size.Improve the blank positioning on the mold so that the mold can accurately press the steel plate.

D) too little pressure

Solution: increase the mandrel pressure.

E) the gap between upper and lower modules is too large

Solution: adjust the gap.

F) the fillet radius of the die mouth is too large, which makes the punch unable to press the material

Solution: reduce the radius of the fillet.

G) too much grease

Solution: apply oil according to the requirements of the operation regulations to ensure the correct position and amount of oil applied

3、Materials

The yield strength of the material is not up to the standard and the material is too soft.

Solution: to ensure the product performance, the use of better formability of materials.

For different cases, specific problems need to be analyzed, but in the final analysis, it is still inseparable from the above principles.With such a train of thought, if encounter corresponding problem again, you do not need to worry about this little wrinkle again!

The so-called non-quenched steel is a new kind of steel made by adding trace alloy elements such as V, Nb and Ti into medium carbon steel.In most cases the total amount of microalloys added is generally not more than 0.25% (0.25%).

Non-quenched steel’s advantages

The world’s first non-quenched steel was introduced in 1970 by GERLACH, a German company, which produced crankshafts using CK45 steel instead of the quenched steel they had just developed.Because the use of non-tempered steel production forgings can save the tempering treatment (quenching + high temperature tempering) in the process of two heating and energy consumption, so it has the advantages of energy saving and environmental protection, known as green steel.

Cost of heat treatment

In 1973, the Middle East war broke out, the high oil price forced people.they pay more attention to energy conservation and consumption reduction. Under this background, the development and utilization of non-quenched steel.it’s set off a climax in the west.with each country successively introducing its own non-quenched steel.By 1984, from non-quenched steel,60% of Japan’s crankshafts, 50% of its connecting rods were forged.The germans say, using 49MnVS3 non-quenched steel.It can instead of quenched steel.Aichi.A Japanese company, says that using non-quenched steel can cut costs by 18%.

Strengthening mechanism

Forgings, whether made of tempered steel or non-tempered steel.It cannot be used without strengthening treatment after forging.Different steels have different strengthening mechanisms.The strengthening mechanism of quenched steel is: First through quenching.The steel is made into martensite, and then the martensite is made into tempered sostenite by tempering treatment.

Tempered sostenite is a stable structure with good comprehensive mechanical properties.

Rather than the reinforcement mechanism of quenched and tempered steel. first, in the heating process,non quenched and tempered steel V, Nb, Ti.Alloy elements in the form of alloy carbon compounds, before forging fully dissolve in the austenite. and then,in the process of cooling after forging.The carbon and nitrogen compounds from austenitic alloy precipitation.Forming numerous small, scattered alloy carbon compounds.At the same time, the fine ferrite steel can improve the strength and hardness of steel.

The development of non-quenched steel has gone through three stages.

The development of non-quenched steel has gone through three stages. The first generation of non-quenched steel is ferrite.Pearlite type non-quenched steel.The second generation is bainian type non-quenched steel.the third generation is low carbon martensionic type non-quenched steel.

Ferrite – pearlescent non – tempered steel.

At present, the largest amount of non – tempered steel, about 60% of the total amount.Compared with tempered steel, it has more strength than toughnes.So it is necessary to improve the toughness under the condition of guaranteeing the strength.

Development of non-quenched steel-Nippon steel

The Nippon steel researchers found,by properly controlling the production process.the austenite crystals were allowed to form a large number of ferrite nucleating cores.Then ferrite is formed not only in grain boundary, but also in austenitic crystal package.

These fine, evenly distributed ferrites make the steel remarkably more ductile.

Bayesian type non-tempered steel

It is a kind of strength and toughness is very good non quenched and tempered steel.In order to make the air cooling after forging can get bainite organization, after joined the molybdenum, manganese, boron in steel and other alloy elements.

The effect of manganese

When the content of it to a certain extent can make austenitic isothermal transformation curve is in the shape of epsilon to separate the steel C curve up and down;Boron can significantly delay ferrite transformation.

The combination of molybdenum of development of non-quenched steel

To boron or manganese – boron results in the bainite structure of steel over a wide cooling range.At the same time, manganese can reduce the phase change temperature.improve the toughness and enhance the strength.

Elements such as vanadium and chromium,they are usually added to low carbon bainitic steel,For makeing up for the decrease in strength caused,by the decrease in carbon content.

Martensioned non tempered steel

(1)

In 1988, an American steel company,first proposed the concept.third-generation non-tempered steel with low carbon tempered martensitic structure.

Similar to bainitic non-quenched steel, low carbon martensitic non-quenched steel has high toughness,as well as high strength.It has already been used in automobile walking parts and construction machinery.

(2)

At the same time, after the development and application of ferrite – pearlite (f-p), bainite (B), martensitic (M) non-quenched steel, ferrite – bainitic (F- B), ferrite – martensitic (F- M), composite phase non-quenched steel is gradually developed,and used because of low cost and excellent performance.

The mechanical properties of non-quenched steel depend on the microstructure of matrix and the strengthening of precipitated phase.

Non quenched and tempered steel introduction

High strength steel used in rolling or normalizing state.

Its microstructure is mainly ferrite and pearlite. The method to improve the strength of non-quenched steel is to refine the structure by adding alloying elements and rolling. Silicon and manganese, which have little effect on weldability and are cheap, are often used as the main alloying elements in non-quenched steel. Controlled rolling can also refine the microstructure and improve the strength and toughness of non-quenched steel.

The typical steel types of non-quenched steel

(1) For ordinary welding structures, which are used in much the same way as mild steel, including Bridges, gas tanks, high-pressure vessels, building components, lifting machinery and civil machinery, etc.;(2) high-strength steel for shipbuilding;(3) high strength steel for gas pipelines.

Non-quenched steel are added vanadium, titanium and niobium microalloying elements

It makes it dissolve in austenite during heating because the solid solubility of vanadium, titanium, and niobium in austenite decreases with cooling. The microalloying elements vanadium, titanium, and niobium will be separated from the ferrite and pearlite in the form of nitride of fine carbides. These precipitates maintain a coherent relationship with the parent phase, strengthening the steel.The mechanical properties of this kind of steel in hot rolling, forging or normalizing state not only shorten the production cycle, but also save energy.

Non-quenched steel can be divided into non-quenched steel for hot forging

Non-quenched steel can be divided into non-quenched steel for hot forging, it’s for direct cutting, and for cold working and high toughness quenched steel. Non-quenched steel used for hot forging (such as crankshaft, connecting rod, etc.), non-quenched steel used for direct cutting is directly processed into parts with hot-rolled parts, cold-working non-quenched steel is used for standard parts (such as nuts, etc.), and high-toughness non-quenched steel is used for parts requiring higher toughness.

The epidemic is spreading rapidly around the world, which has a huge negative impact on global public health security. The global crisis seemed to bring the world into the long night. There is no borders on the virus.

Facing the epidemic situation, it is imperative for all countries to strengthen cooperation. Governments of various countries need to learn some experience. Like take strict detection and tracking measures, actively share knowledge about epidemic prevention and control. And establish temporary hospitals, allocate resources to the places where they are most needed through monitoring. Developed countries should consider providing assistance to developing countries and countries with weak public health systems when possible. The international community should work together to reduce the infection rate so that the medical system can effectively respond to the outbreak. Then make vaccines to be developed, and allow patients to receive timely and appropriate treatment.

Each piece of dark cloud is inlaid with gold. Despite the negative impact of the epidemic, we still have to see positive results. Over the past few years, global conferences have continually called on countries around the world. That is to work together to meet the challenges posed by climate change. But some countries are not attentive. After the outbreak of the New Coronary Pneumonia, many countries have adopted “closing the city” measures. It gives us the opportunity to think more deeply about the impact of humans on the planet and take effective measures in time to protect the common homeland of humanity.

Now it is the time for mankind to work together to create a common vision. This vision will promote people’s mutual concern and arouse people’s concern for the entire planet. If human beings expect to have a bright future, they must work together. When fighting against the epidemic, even if it falls into the long night. As long as the light of the community of human destiny shines, we can fill the world with warmth and love through solidarity and cooperation.
