The bainite/martensite complex-phase wear-resistant steel comprises the following chemical components in percentage by mass: 0.45-0.65% of C, 1.5-2.3% of Si, 0.5-1.5% of Mn, 1.2-2.7% of Cr, 0.27-0.55% of Mo, 0.05-0.25% of V, 0.02-0.15% of Ti, 0.75-1.9% of Ni, 0.75-1.35% of W, 0.01-0.15% of Al, 0.025% of P, 0.015% of S, 0.0001% of O, 0.0003% of N, 0.00001% of H, and the balance of Fe and unavoidable impurities.
Preferably, the bainite/martensite complex-phase wear resistant steel comprises the following chemical components in percentage by mass: 0.48-0.60% of C, 1.6-2.1% of Si, 0.6-1.2% of Mn, 1.6-2.5% of Cr, 0.35-0.50% of Mo, 0.12-0.22% of V, 0.04-0.12% of Ti, 0.9-1.5% of Ni, 0.85-1.20% of W, 0.03-0.11% of Al, 0.015% of P, 0.01% of S, 0.0001% of O, 0.0003% of N, 0.00001% of H, and the balance of Fe and unavoidable impurities.
Preferably, the bainite/martensite complex-phase wear resistant steel comprises the following chemical components in percentage by mass: 0.52-0.58% of C, 1.8-2.0% of Si, 0.7-0.9% of Mn, 1.9-2.25% of Cr, 0.39-0.47% of Mo, 0.15-0.2% of V, 0.06-0.1% of Ti, 1.0-1.20% of Ni, 0.95-1.05% of W, 0.05-0.09% of Al, 0.01% of P, 0.005% of S, 0.0001% of O, 0.0003% of N, 0.00001% of H, and the balance of Fe and unavoidable impurities.
Cr can improve the hardenability of steel and the strength, hardness and wear resistance; mo can obviously improve the hardenability of steel, inhibit the quenching brittleness and improve the tempering stability. The quenching degree can be ensured by the combined action of Cr and Mo, and the mass ratio of Cr to Mo in the chemical components of the bainite/martensite complex-phase wear-resistant steel is 4.2-4.8:1, so that the excellent quenching degree of round steel with the diameter of 60mm can be ensured by the content of Cr and Mo meeting the ratio. When the bainite/martensite complex-phase wear resistant steel with larger size is prepared, in order to ensure the hardenability, the content of Cr and Mo in the chemical components of the bainite/martensite complex-phase wear resistant steel can be increased according to the mass ratio of Cr to Mo of 4.5 to 1 more preferably.
V can refine the crystal grains of the steel and improve the strength and toughness; ti densifies the structure of the steel, refines grains, and reduces the aging sensitivity and brittleness of the steel. In the invention, when V+Ti=0.25-0.3%, the V, ti combination has the best effect and the best economical efficiency. Therefore, the bainite/martensite complex-phase wear resistant steel is preferable, and the mass percentage of V+Ti in the chemical components is 0.25-0.3%.
The bainite/martensite complex-phase wear-resistant steel has the following functions of easy rest chemical components: the content of C is increased, and the yield strength and the tensile strength of the steel are increased, so that the wear resistance of the steel can be improved; si can obviously improve the elastic limit, yield point and tensile strength of steel; mn improves the hardenability of the steel; w further refines the fine grain to a certain extent, and can be combined with C to form WC, so that the wear resistance of the steel is remarkably improved, and the segregation of the steel is aggravated due to the fact that the W content is too high, so that the maximum W content in the steel is limited to be 1.35%; ni can improve the strength of steel and can keep good plasticity and toughness of steel; al is the most effective element for deoxidizing, and a small amount of aluminum in the steel can refine grains and improve impact toughness.
P increases the cold brittleness of the steel, and the phosphorus content of the alloy steel must be low; s, the steel is thermally brittle and is easy to form various sulfide inclusions with other elements, the hot working of the steel is affected, the ductility and toughness of the steel are reduced, and the sulfur content of alloy steel is required to be low; the O and certain elements in the steel form oxide inclusions, so that the mechanical property of the steel is obviously reduced, and the oxygen content in the steel is not more than 10ppm; n obviously reduces the toughness and plasticity of the steel, and the nitrogen content in the steel is not more than 30ppm; h tends to cause hydrogen embrittlement in the steel, and the hydrogen content in the steel of the present invention should not be more than 1ppm.
The bainite/martensite complex-phase wear-resistant steel comprises 0.25-0.3% of V+Ti by mass percent in chemical components.
The metallographic structure of the bainite/martensite complex-phase wear-resistant steel contains 80-85% of martensite and 15-20% of lower bainite, wherein the martensite is in the shape of short needles and hidden needles.
Further, when the total content of martensite and lower bainite in the metallographic structure of the wear-resistant steel is less than 100%, a trace amount of austenite is also contained.
The bainite/martensite complex phase wear resistant steel is obtained through the steps of electric furnace smelting, external refining, vacuum refining and casting forming, or through the steps of electric furnace smelting, external refining, vacuum refining, continuous casting steel billet and rolling, and then through the steps of normalizing, complete annealing, quenching and tempering.
Preferably, the specific preparation method of the steel comprises the following steps:
a. weighing a certain amount of scrap steel, adding the scrap steel into an electric furnace, and simultaneously adding a slag former with the proportion of 10% of the scrap steel, wherein the slag former is required to have good P removing capability;
b. arc starting smelting, and introducing oxygen for blowing in the smelting process; detecting the temperature of molten steel at the blowing end point, sampling and testing the P content in the molten steel, and carrying out the next step if the P content is less than 0.05%, otherwise, re-slagging and removing P again;
c. pulling out P slag, and making smelting slag into a reduction period; deoxidizing with aluminum rod, and sequentially adding ferrosilicon, ferromanganese and other alloy raw materials according to the molten steel amount, wherein the content of C is controlled to be 0.15-0.2% lower than the target C content;
d. entering an LF furnace, introducing Ar for refining, and adjusting the component C to reach a target component; introducing the mixture into a VD furnace for degassing treatment;
e. continuously casting into billets, and casting into finished products in a casting mode;
f. rolling the billet into a product.
Preferably, the heat treatment method of the bainite/martensite complex phase wear resistant steel comprises the following steps:
in the normalizing process, the steel is heated to 40-50 ℃ above the temperature A3, then is insulated for 1 hour according to the heat insulation time of every 20mm thick, and then is air-cooled to room temperature, so as to refine grains and reduce the band-shaped tissue generated in the rolling process;

in the quenching process, heating the steel processed in the complete annealing process to 20-30 ℃ above the A3 temperature, preserving heat for 1h according to the time of preserving heat every 20mm thick, cooling to 85-90 ℃ through quenching oil at the cooling rate of 10-20 ℃ after the heat preservation is finished, and then air-cooling to 50-60 ℃;
in the tempering process, the steel processed in the quenching process is subjected to heat preservation for 4 hours at 195-205 ℃ and then is discharged from a furnace for air cooling, so that tempered martensite is obtained, and the toughness, hardness and wear resistance of the steel are further improved.

As can be seen from examples 1 to 4, the components and the heat treatment process of examples 1 to 4 all adopt the technical scheme of the invention, and the physical properties and the wear resistance of the finally prepared bainite/martensite complex phase wear resistant steel are equivalent, wherein the component proportion adopted in examples 3 to 4 is the most preferable component proportion of the invention, and the finally prepared bainite/martensite complex phase wear resistant steel has the most excellent physical properties and wear resistance, so that the bainite/martensite complex phase wear resistant steel prepared by the technical scheme of the invention has excellent comprehensive properties.
As is clear from comparative examples 1 to 3, in comparative example 1, the wear-resistant steel prepared finally has low hardness and poor wear resistance due to the lower contents of C, cr and Si; in the comparative example 2, the lower Ni content is adopted, the adopted quenching cooling medium is water, and the cooling rate is higher, so that the prepared wear-resistant steel has high hardness and wear resistance, but has poor toughness, and has no practical application significance; the W added in comparative example 3 was extremely low, and the physical properties of the finally obtained wear-resistant steel were comparable to those of examples 1 to 4, but the wear resistance was greatly lowered and the overall properties were poor. The composition ratios of comparative examples 4 to 7 were the same as in example 4, but the mechanical properties and wear resistance index were reduced under different heat treatment process parameters.
The metallographic structure diagrams of examples 1 to 4 and comparative examples 1 to 7 are shown in FIGS. 1 to 11, respectively, and it is understood that the metallographic structures of examples 1 to 4 and comparative example 3 are substantially identical with each other by the same heat treatment process, and the obtained metallographic structures are lower bainite+martensite+very little retained austenite, and the martensite is in the form of short needles and hidden needles, wherein the martensite accounts for about 83% and the lower bainite accounts for about 15%. With the change of the heat treatment process parameters, metallographic structures are in different forms, and undissolved ferrite exists in the quenching structure in the comparative example 1 under lower normalizing stability; comparative example 2 has a fully martensitic structure due to an excessively high cooling rate; comparative example 4 had a relatively coarse structure and a large amount of retained austenite due to an excessively high heat treatment temperature.
