Abstract
A vacuum solid solution method for nickel-free high manganese and nitrogen is provided and relates to the technical field of metal material heat treatment. By vacuumizing, heat homogenizing, keeping the temperature in the final temperature range, deoxidation, and rapid cooling treatment, the present method forms a single austenitic structure from the raw materials, and promotes full and uniform dispersion of nitrogen carbide, providing a nickel-free high nitrogen stainless steel with more stable comprehensive performance and wider range of application.
Claims5
A vacuum solid solution method for stainless steel, comprising:
- step 1:
- placing a workpiece comprising nickel-free manganese and nitrogen stainless steel to be heat treated into a vacuum heat treatment furnace, vacuumizing to 1.0E−2 Pa, initially heating to 650° C. at a speed of 5-15° C./min, and maintaining a temperature of 650° C. for 30-90 min, wherein the nickel-free manganese and nitrogen stainless steel has a nitrogen content of greater than or equal to 0.70 wt % and a manganese content of 10.0-12.0 wt %;
- step 2:
- heat homogenizing the workpiece, comprising heating the workpiece at a speed of 5-15° C./min from 650° C. to a final temperature range of 1150-1185° C. in stages, wherein a whole process of heating from 650° C. to the final temperature range is protected under nitrogen;
- step 3:
- maintaining a temperature of 1150-1185° C. for 60-150 min;
- step 4:
- deoxidizing a surface of the workpiece;
- and
- step 5:
- performing a rapid cooling treatment, comprising cooling the workpiece in nitrogen or argon with pressure greater than or equal to 6 Mpa to 450° C. or below by a cooling speed of 150° C./min or above during a temperature range of 1150-850° C., and by a cooling speed of 80° C./min or above during a temperature range of 650-450° C.
