Research on Tempering Process of LZ20Mn2 Seamless Pipe for Axle

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to find out the effects of tempering process on properties of axle steel, the thesis analyzes the change trend of properties of LZ20Mn2 axle steel pipe with variation of tempering temperature. And SEM was used to observe and analyze the fracture. The results show that the strength and hardness of LZ20Mn2 axle steel drop gradually and its toughness and plasticity are increased when tempering temperature goes up. Change of material properties trends to slow down after tempering at 570 °C. From point view of toughness, the technology for the best quality LZ20Mn2 axle pipe steel is the one with quenching at 880 °C with temperature holding for 30min, and tempering at 530 °C with 90min holding temperature. After heat treatment, the microstructure is fine grain size tempered sorbite structure and has good plasticity and toughness, so it can meet the requirement of both high strength and high toughness for axle.
