SPECIFIC EMBODIMENTS

(7) The present invention is described in detail below with reference to the design idea, the exemplary embodiments and the accompanying figures.

(8) The special-shaped rolls involved in the invention are the curved-surface type and special-shaped rolls with large diameters of two ends of the rolls and small mid diameters of the rolls. The structure of such special-shaped roll is the separation type of roll and shaft, which means there are central holes, and it is used by installing on the rack after a shaft is installed in the central hole. The special-shaped rolls are subjected to friction and impact under a large compressive stress in the production equipment of steel pipes and cold-bend section steel, and undertake the rapid heating and cooling action of high-temperature rolling material and cooling water. At the same time, it will be repaired by repeated lathing and grinding in use. Thus, the roll is required to have a sufficiently thick working layer to meet the special requirements of adverse conditions. Namely, in the case of saving material and processing costs, the casting method should be designed according to the quality requirements of curved surface rolls with large diameters of two ends and small mid diameters. Such special-shaped rolls are also required to equip with a sufficiently thick working layer with a high strength, high toughness core. The special-shaped roll under the ideal condition is a bimetal composite structure that satisfies two different requirements. Thus, the present invention provides a simple and practical two-molten metal two-cast mold casting method with guarantee quality for the preparation of the composite structure of the shaped roll. At the same time, the casting method with guarantee quality of special-shaped roll is provided for the single-metal casting the special-shaped roll.

(9) The casting method of the present invention is more similar to the finished product than the forging method, and more alloying elements can be added compared with the forging forming method, thereby improving the technical performance of the roll. Since the casting method can greatly save materials and energy and improve the service life of the roll for steel pipe production, the casting method can more and more meet the demand of steel pipe industry and further promotes the technical progress of the casting industry.

(10) Referring to FIGS. 1 to 6, the design idea of the present invention is embodied by the specific implementation of the following technical solutions.

(11) The invention relates to a technical scheme of a composite casting special-shaped roll. The body of the roll is a curved surface with a large diameter of two ends of the roll and a small mid diameter of the roll. The curved surface is composed of two parts of the inner layer and the outer layer. A shape of a composite combination layer of the outer layer of the roll and the inner layer of the roll has an inner curved surface which is bent inward and has a diameter that is gradually reduced from the bottom to the top of the roll. There is a central hole along the central axis of roll that is used when installing the shaft.

(12) The composite casting special-shaped roll of the present invention is realized by the two-molten metal and two-cast mold casting method and the steps.

(13) Referring to FIG. 3, designing a blank having an outer curved surface, an upper end face, and a lower end face according to an outer curved surface, an upper end face, and a lower end face of a finished roll plus machining allowances, wherein:

(14) according to the outer curved surface of the blank, a shape of a central hole of the blank is designed as an inner curved surface which bends inward and has a diameter that is gradually reduced from a bottom to a top of the central hole, so that the cross-sectional area of the entire blank gradually increases or substantially keeps the consistent shape, which allows the progressive solidification without casting defects during the casting. Thus, the problems of casting defects in the conventional casting method are solved.

(15) According to the requirement of working layer thickness required by the specific working conditions, the blank is designed as inner layer and outer layer, and the composite combination layer of outer layer 3-2 and inner layer 3-1 has an inner curved surface which is bent inward and has a diameter that is gradually reduced from the bottom to the top of the blank, the diameter of designed division curved surface 3-4 at an intersection of the inner layer of the blank and the outer layer of the blank gradually decreases from the bottom up with smooth transition to ensure mold unloading smoothly. The thickness of the outer layer of the blank can be increased by 5 mm20 mm on the basis of the reserved machining allowances, so as to fully guarantee the amount of repair when the rolls being remachined. In order to ensure the quality of metallurgical bonding of the inner layer and the outer layer of the blank, a weight ratio of the outer layer and inner layer of the blank is designed to equal to or be more than 1.2:1. In the blank design, the division curved surface 3-4 at an intersection of the inner layer of the blank and the outer layer of the blank disappears after the casting melting into one, forming the composite bonding layer that which is formed by the melting together of two kinds of metals of the outer layer and inner layer. The broken line 3-3 in FIG. 3 illustrates the finished roll products actually required, and the central hole of the finished roll is machined into a cylindrical central hole.

(16) Referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, providing a cast mold that is designed according to a shape of the outer curved surface and the central hole of the blank and the machining allowances, wherein: the cast mold comprises an inner cast mold and an outer cast mold, the outer cast mold comprises an outer cast mold of the inner layer of the blank and an outer cast mold of the outer layer of the blank, a cavity space of the inner layer of the blank formed by combination of the inner cast mold 4-2 and the outer cast mold of the inner layer of the blank 4-1 is designed according to a shape and size of the inner layer of the blank, and a composite combination layer cavity space formed by combination of the outer cast mold of the outer layer of the blank 5-1 and the inner cast mold is designed according to a shape and size of a combination of the inner layer of the blank and the outer layer of the blank; the outer cast mold is sleeved onto the inner cast mold from above down, the outer cast mold of the inner layer of the blank 4-1 and the inner cast mold 4-2 is assembled to form the cavity space of the inner layer of the blank 4-3. After the outer cast mold of the outer layer of the blank 5-1 is assembled with the pouring and solidified inner layer 3-1 and the inner cast mold 4-2, the cavity of the outer layer of the blank 5-3 is formed. The boundary curved surface of solidified inner layer 3-1 forms the the division curved surface at an intersection of the inner layer of the blank and the outer layer of the blank 5-2, thereby forming the entire blank mold.

(17) At the same time, two kinds of molten metal for the inner layer of the blank and the outer layer of the blank is smelted when smelting the special-shaped roll. The composites used in smelting are designed for two kinds for casting the products with different materials. One is the composite material wherein the outer layer of the blank is high chromium cast iron and the inner layer of the blank is cast steel, and the other type is the composite material wherein the outer layer of the blank is alloy nodular cast iron and the inner layer of the blank is ductile cast iron. These two composite materials can make the casting shrinkage of the inner layer of the blank and outer layer of the blank same or similar with each other, making the solidification bonding rate of the inner layer of the blank and outer layer of the blank uniform.

(18) During the casting, firstly assembling the outer cast mold of the inner layer of the blank 4-1 and the inner cast mold 4-2, by sleeving the outer cast mold of the inner layer of the blank 4-1 onto the inner cast mold 4-2 from above down to form the cavity of the inner layer of the blank 4-3, Seal the cavity of the inner layer of the blank 4-3 by the sealing device 4-4 and the cast positioning device 4-5. Then pouring molten metal of the inner layer of the blank into the cavity space of the inner layer of the blank 4-3; after solidification of the molten metal of the inner layer of the blank, moving the outer cast mold of the inner layer of the blank away when the solidification temperature of the metal is maintained at 850 C.-950 C. and rapidly mounting the outer cast mold of the outer layer of the blank 5-1 to form a cavity space of the outer layer of the blank 5-3 with the pouring and solidified inner layer 3-1 and the inner cast mold 4-2 and sealing the cavity space of the outer layer of the blank 5-3 well by 5-4 and 5-5, and then pouring the molten metal of the outer layer of the blank into the cavity space of the outer layer of the blank 5-3, after the molten metal of outer layer of the blank solidifies, moving the outer cast mold of the outer layer of the blank 5-1 away then finish the casting process of special-shaped roll. Since the molten metal of the outer layer of the blank is poured into the cavity when molten metal of the inner layer of the blank has been solidified and still keeps the temperature at 850-950 C., the composite bonding layer where two metals on the outer layer and inner layer mutually melt are formed. A temperature detector is arranged in the sand mold of the cast mold, and the metal solidification temperature of the inner layer of the blank can be obtained by the temperature detector. The casting with a piece weight of less than 500 kg can also be judged by detecting the temperature of the metal liquid in the dead head. Since the cross-sectional area of the designed inner layer of the blank and the outer layer of the blank gradually increases or substantially keeps uniform from bottom to top, the molten metal is solidified in order, thus obtaining the ideal bimetal composite casting roll blank.

(19) The present invention can also modify the roll with a small residual ratio after many times of reconditioning into the single metal roll blank. The inner cast mold is assembled with the outer cast mold of the outer layer of the blank, and the progressive solidification can be realized to obtain the ideal roll blank only by smelting and casting the molten metal of the outer layer of the blank. In the same way, the roll with light piece weight or high requirements for the thickness of the working layer can be modified into the single metal roll blank, which simplifies the production process and ensures the quality of the casting blank.

(20) Referring to FIG. 6, another technical scheme of the present invention provides a single metallic material casting special-shaped roll. The casting special-shaped roll is also a curved surface of said roll is with large diameter of two ends of the roll and small mid diameter of the roll, and has a central hole along the central axis of the roll, which is realized by the following preparation method: designing a blank having an outer curved surface, an upper end face, and a lower end face according to an outer curved surface, an upper end face, and a lower end face of a finished roll plus machining allowances, wherein: according to the outer curved surface of the blank, a shape of a central hole of the blank is designed as an inner curved surface which bends inward and has a diameter that is gradually reduced from a bottom to a top of the central hole, and from the bottom to the top of the blank, section areas of the above two designs of the blank gradually increases or keeps uniform.

(21) Casting mold design and casting of single metal material: providing a cast mold that is designed according to a shape of the outer curved surface and the central hole of the blank and the machining allowances, the cast mold comprises an inner cast mold 6-2 and an outer cast mold 6-1, the inner cast mold 6-2 is formed by an inner curved surface which is bent inward and has a diameter that is gradually reduced from the bottom to the top of the blank and a lower end face, the outer cast mold 6-1 is formed by an outer curved surface of blank which is bent inward and has a diameter that is gradually reduced from the bottom to the top of the blank and an upper end face. The molten single molten metal is poured into the cavity of the blank 6-3, which is formed by assembling the outer cast mold 6-1 and the inner cast mold 6-2, and positing and sealing it by the cast positioning device 6-5 and the sealing device 6-4. After the molten metal is solidified, the casting process of single metal casting special-shaped roll is finished. In the single-metal material casting special-shaped roll of the present invention, the cross-sectional areas of the blank and the central hole are gradually increased or keeps the consistent shape from bottom to top, which allows the progressive solidification during the casting and improves the casting quality of the curved surface shape of the roll body of single metal material is with a large diameter of two ends and a small mid diameter and reduces the casting defects.

(22) After the casting is finished, the casting blanks of the special-shaped rolls formed by a composite casting method and the casting special-shaped rolls are subjected to the conventional processing, namely annealing, rough machining, appropriate heat treatment and finish machining to obtain the finished rolls, and the isothermal quenching heat treatment is carried out when the alloy nodular cast iron is adopted.

(23) In order to increase the strength of the outer cast mold, a plurality of protruding iron pieces can be arranged on the inner wall of an iron-made sand box of the outer cast mold, so as to increase the connection strength of the sand box and a sand mold. The steel skeleton can also be provided in the outer sand mold to increase the strength of the sand mold. To increase the solidification rate, moderate graphite powder particles or magnesia powder is added to the cast mold, or a slight amount of tellurium powder is added in the coating.

(24) The special shaped roll formed by a composite casting method in this present invention adopts a composite material with the outer layer which is made of high chromium cast iron and the inner layer which is made of cast steel, the advantages are that high chromium cast iron has good wear resistance, impact resistance, rapid heating and cooling action resistance and good hardenability, cast steel has high strength and high toughness, and both have the same or similarly casting shrinkage, which makes it possible to combine the inner layer and outer layer of the composite casting very well. The mass percentage of specific composition of the composite is as following:

(25) For the high chromium cast iron: C: 2.0%2.6%, Si: 0.2%0.5%, Mn: 0.6%1.0%, Cr: 11.0%18.0%, Ni: 0.5%1.5%, Mo: 0.5%1.5%, W: 0.5%1.5%, Zr: 0.1%0.3%, Nb: 0.05%0.15%, Ti: 0.05%0.15%, RE: 0.05%0.15%, P: 0.030%, S: 0.025%, the rest compositions are Fe and unavoidable impurities. The content of Mo+W+Zr is greater than or equal to 1.2% and less than or equal to 2.2% by mass percent; the content of Nb+Ti+RE is greater than or equal to 0.10% and less than or equal to 0.40% by mass percent. The mass percentage of Mo, W and Zr in total is greater than or equal to 1.2% and less than or equal to 2.2%, while the mass percentage of Nb, Ti and RE in total is greater than or equal to 0.10% and less than or equal to 0.40%. The inner layer of cast steel is cast carbon steel or low alloy cast steel.

(26) Wherein, C and Cr are the most basic and important alloying elements in high chromium materials. The amount of its content determines the number of carbides, the relative amount of carbide M.sub.7C.sub.3 and the total carbide, the hardness and the toughness, and the hardenability of the material. Mo element enters into Mo.sub.2C about 50% of each phase of high chromium material, and about 25% enters into M.sub.7C.sub.3 carbide. It can effectively improve the hardness and wear resistance of materials. In addition, about 23% is dissolve into the matrix, and the hardenability of the material is obviously improved. The binding force of W atom and C atom is large, and the stability of decomposition of martensite at high temperature is improved, thus the red hardness is improved. During high temperature quenching, partial W carbide is dissolved into the matrix and the hardenability of the material is improved. The Ni element strengthens the matrix and improves the comprehensive properties of the material, and the hardenability could be improved. The addition of Zr can effectively improve the strength, hardness and red hardness of the materials. Ti can refine its eutectic structure and form a stable small nucleus of TiC. The addition of Nb can precipitate the hard phase Nb (CN) particles with high hardness (2000 HV), high melting point, shape regular and small granularity, and uniform distribution. It can effectively control the solidification segregation of alloy, improve its comprehensive performance, and play a role in saving Ni or Cr.

(27) According to the specific high-chromium cast iron composition, the inner layer composition of cast steel can be made of conventional engineering cast carbon steel or low alloy cast steel. The special-shaped rolls made of the composite material composed of out layer of high chromium cast iron and the inner layer of cast steel are mainly used in the equipment such as pipe mill, cold bend section mill, steel pipe straightener and so on.

(28) Another composite material used in the invention is an out layer of alloy nodular cast iron and inner layer of ductile cast iron. The isothermal quenched ductile cast iron has good wear resistance, impact resistance, rapid heating and cooling action resistance and good hardenability, cast steel has high strength and high toughness, and both have the same or similarly casting shrinkage. The mass percentage of specific composition of the composite is as following:

(29) The mass percentage of out layer which is made of alloy nodular cast iron is: C: 3.0%3.8%, Si: 1.4%1.8%, Mn: 0.35%, Ni: 2.5%, Cu: 0.4%1.0%, Mo: 0.3%1.0%, Cr: 0.1%0.3%, B: 0.08%, Mg: 0.04%0.10%, Bi: 0.0004%0.0005%, Sb: 0.0002%0.0003%, P: 0.04%, S: 0.02%, the rest compositions are Fe and unavoidable impurities; Wherein, the mass percentage of Ni and Cu in total is greater than or equal to 0.4% and less than or equal to 2.5%, while the mass percentage of Cr and B in total is greater than or equal to 0.05% and less than or equal to 0.25%. The mass percentage of inner layer of ductile cast iron is: C: 3.0%3.8%, Si: 2.2%2.7%, Mn: 0.35%, Cu: 0.4%0.6%, Mg: 0.04%0.10%, P: 0.04%, S: 0.02%, the rest compositions are Fe and unavoidable impurities.

(30) Wherein, in that alloy spheroidal graphite cast iron, C is a graphitization element, and when the content of C is raise, on the one hand, the precipitation of cementite is hindered, on the other hand, the number of graphite cores is increased, and the graphite can be refined, and the roundness of the graphite ball is improved. However, that content of C is too high and easy to form graphite float, and the content of C is too low that increase shrinkage tendency. Therefore, the C content which is selected as 3.0%3.8% is suitable. Si can not only improve the eutectoid transition temperature, but also widen the temperature range of eutectoid transformation, shorten the incubation period of pearlite and bainite. The performance of bainite ductile iron increases with the increase of silicon content, and the increase of silicon content can make the spheric diameter of graphite be even fine, and silicon can promote bainite transformation, form fine acicular bainite, thus improve the comprehensive properties of acicular structure. However, when that amount of silicon is too high, it will promote the formation of ferrite, and therefore, Si is selected at 1.4%1.8% according to specific condition of the roll. Mn is an anti-graphitization element, which is combined to form MnS and MnO with sulfur and oxygen in ductile iron of alloy. Therefore, the main function of Mn is to eliminate the harmful effects of sulfur and oxygen in molten iron. On the other hand, Mn is a very easy segregation element. In the state of incomplete isothermal quenching, the mixture of martensite and retained austenite will appear on the grain boundary of the eutectic colony. This kind of organization greatly deteriorates the plasticity of ductile iron. The practice has showed that a small amount of Mn is advantageous to stabilize and refine the spherical body, so Mn is set to 0.35%. The tendency of P to form regional segregation is large, especially in thick ductile iron. The production practice proves that the average P content reaches 0.1%, there will be 2%3% of the eutectic of P. Because of its low melting point, the eutectic group that grows when solidified moves to the periphery of the eutectic. Therefore, the phosphorus eutectic eventually appeared on the grain boundary of the eutectic colony, and it was a polygonal hard eutectic phosphorus eutectic, which was easy to cause stress concentration, and thereby reduce the strength, plasticity and toughness of the material. Thus P is set to 0.04%. S is an anti-graphitization element, and high S inevitably consumes much of nodulizing agent because nodulizing element is strong desulfurizer, they are added first to desulfurization, and then play a role in nodulizing effects. It is proved that even adding magnesium, calcium, zirconium and rare earth elements when the content of S is higher, it is impossible to obtain better nodulizing effect, leading to performance degradation. The S content of ductile iron should be as low as possible, so S is set to 0.02%. Cr is one of the strongest carbide forming elements, and the number of carbides increases with the increase of Cr content, thus increasing the hardness and deepening the depth of the hard layer, thus increasing the abrasion resistance accordingly, when multi-component alloying at the same time by adding elements such as nickel and molybdenum, this phenomenon is very prominent. However, Cr is also an anti-graphitization element, and an excessively high Cr content affects the overall performance of nodulizing. That Cr is set to 0.1%0.3% is suitable. B forms a high hardness boron carbide, which can remarkably improve the wear resistance of the alloy ductile iron, but B is also an anti-graphitization element, and B is set to 0.08% according to the experimental results. Considering the effects of Cr and B and the experimental results, the content of Cr+B is set to. 0.05% and 0.25% by mass percentage. Ni is the main alloying element to enlarge the phase and form and stabilize austenite. Ni does not form carbide with carbon, but is dissolved in iron to stabilize and refine the pearlitic structure. It is proved that Ni is effective in increasing the pearlite content in section ductile iron and improving the tensile strength of core. In practice, that combination of Ni and other alloy element can obtain better effect than when Ni is added separately. When the content of Ni is higher, bainite can be obtained stably, while the bainite is refined, and the plasticity and toughness of acicular iron structure can be remarkably improved. However, Ni is a rare precious metal, and the content of Ni is too high to increase the cost greatly, which makes the market difficult to accept, it should be determined according to the specific conditions of different roll service, so Ni is set to 2.5%. Cu promotes graphitization in the eutectic transformation, and its graphitization capacity is about 30% of silicon, which can reduce the critical temperature of austenite transformation and promote the formation of pearlite. It is beneficial to reduce or eliminate the free cementite, and greatly reduce the tendency of chill in the thin wall of castings, improve the toughness of the spheroidal graphite cast iron and strengthen and refine the ferrite in the pearlite and pearlite, thus improving the hardness and strength of the casting. When Cu is combined with Mo and Mn, it is better to improve hardenability. However, too high a Cu content tends to increase the tendency of the material to crack when operating in a hot state, and therefore, Cu is set at 0.4%1.0%. Considering the effect of Ni and Cu and the experimental results, the content of Ni+Cu is set to 0.4% and 2.5% by mass percentage. Mo is a powerful pearlite forming agent, which has important influence on the basic structure of ductile iron. When the content of Mo in cast iron is more than 0.5%, the matrix is transformed all into pearlite. After increasing the content of Mo, the austenite decomposition of the alloy spheric iron is restrained and the acicular bainite structure is formed. Mo also belongs to rare precious metal. The high Mo content increases the cost greatly, which makes the market difficult to accept. It should be determined according to the specific service conditions of different rolls, so Mo is set to 0.3%-1.0%. The trace addition of Bi and Sb can effectively improve the nodulizing quality, especially for single heavy rolls, can obviously improve the nodulizing rate of graphite and improve the roundness of graphite nodule.

(31) The special-shaped rolls produced by the composite material composed of out layer of alloy nodular cast iron and inner layer of ductile cast iron are mainly used in the sizing mill and reducing mill of the hot-rolled seamless steel pipe.

(32) The invention relates to a steel pipe prepared by the invention and a special-shaped roll for cold-bend steel production. A simple and practical casting method is adopted, and the roll blank is changed into a structure for facilitating the casting sequence solidification by using the central hole of the roll, and the bimetal composite casting is realized by adopting double-cast mold casting. The method is simple and convenient and has good effect, the special-shaped roll at the same time is provided with a sufficiently thick working layer which is wear-resistant, impact-resistant and shock-resistant, and a high-intensity and high-toughness core part, and it is fully satisfied with the use requirement. Due to the low alloying of the core, not only the alloying elements of Cr, Ni, Mo, W are saved, but also the mechanical performance of the core are increased. The work layer of special-shaped roll adopts series of high chromium cast iron and alloy nodular cast iron, which satisfies the requirements of different service conditions in the production of steel pipe and cold bend mill. Similarly, the single metal casting special-shaped roll of the present invention has good sequence solidification during casting due to reasonable design, reduces casting defects, improves casting quality, and meets various performance requirements of rolling mill.
