冷作模具钢淬火裂纹的搭桥修复
Lapping Repair for Quenching Crack inside a Cold Die Steel

摘要: 低合金冷作模具钢多属于高碳钢,淬火中易出现淬火裂纹。对于尺寸较大、形状复杂、加工精度高的冷作模具,因出现淬火裂纹而报废,损失是十分惨重的。如何修复已出现淬火裂纹的模具,是工业生产中急需解决的问题。针对这一情况,提出了对已形成淬火裂纹的冷作模具进行搭桥修复的新思想,并进行了试验研究。即首先对淬火裂纹尖端进行脉冲放电,钝化裂纹尖端,阻止裂纹在焊合过程中扩展;然后,对模具表面裸露的淬火裂纹顶部用YG8电极进行火花放电修复,相当于在裂纹顶部搭上一座"桥"。修复后,由于焊合层的内侧也存在类似裂纹尖端的区域,会使模具在工作时引起应力集中,因此修复后再对焊合层与裂纹连接处进行第二次脉冲放电钝化止裂,使焊合层下的裂纹尖端钝化且变成拱形,极大地提高了焊合层的承载能力,实现了对淬火裂纹搭桥式的修复。Abstract: Low alloy cold die steel belongs to high carbon steel, so the quenching crack is easy to appear when it is hardened. The cold die with a large dimension、complicated structure and high precision will soon have to be scrapped because of there exists the quenching crack in it. How to repair the cold die with quenching crack is badly needed in industrial productions. The method of lapping repair for quenching crack inside the cold die steel has been studied in this paper in order to prevente the crack. The experimental research has been done. Firstly, the crack prevention has been executed around the tip of quenching crack inside the cold die of 9SiCr steel through pulse current discharge, the curvature of the crack tip will be increased after the crack prevention, so the crack can be prevented from extending. Secondly, the spark discharge is applied to the crack in surface with YG8 electrode, a reinforced layer which covers the crack can be formed, and it could be considered as a bridge in the tip of crack. After the lapping repair, the stress concentration can be caused in the die since there exists the similar area inside the reinforced layer. So the tip of crack under reinforced layer is treated with on the second pulse current discharge and the lapping repair for quenching crack inside cold die steel can be obtained.
