Effect of Heat Treatment on the Structure and Properties of the Carburized Layer of the Legs of Three-Ball Drill Bits

Abstract:

The effect of time-temperature parameters of heat treatment on the structure and properties of carburized case and the core of 19CrMnNiMo steel was studied. The critical points were determined by dilatometric analysis: Ac₁ = 740°C, AC₃ = 835°C. It was established, that after carburizing at 940 °C, prequench to 890 °C with oil cooling, quenching at 790 °C and tempering at 180 °C, martensite structure of carburized case with uniformly distributed carbides and the least amount of retained austenite is formed. The hardness of carburized case decreases smoothly from the surface into the depth, in proportion to the decrease in the carbon concentration and amounts to 60-50 HRC. The technological process of heat treatment of drill bit legs made of 19CrMnNiMo carburized steel providing minimal amount of retained austenite in structure, absence of carbide network and combination of optimum mechanical properties which is proved by a real on-site experiment is developed. Temperature conditions of carburizing, quenching and low tempering are recommended for the production of legs of roller bits.
