Abstract

The invention relates to a preparation method of an ultra-high strength spring steel having high plasticity. The preparation method of the ultra-high strength spring steel having the high plasticity includes: when designing alloy compositions of the spring steel, adding moderate alloy elements V and Nb based on the 55SiCr steel sort, and enabling the spring steel to contain 0.1-0.25wt% of the V and 0.005-0.03wt% of the Nb; in a heat treatment process, first performing austenitizing treatment on the spring steel workpiece, and then performing tin bath low temperature isothermal quenching treatment, wherein conditions of the tin bath low temperature isothermal quenching treatment are as following: an isothermal quenching furnace is heated to 235-250 DEG C, the spring steel workpiece after passing through the austenitizing treatment is placed in the isothermal quenching furnace, a tin bath is used as the isothermal quenching furnace, quenching speed is 200-300 DEG C.s<-1>, the spring steel workpiece is fetched out after 30-480min of isothermal heat preservation, and then is cooled to room temperature in water at 15-25 DEG C, and cooling speed is 200-300 DEG C.s<-1>.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of alloy materials, in particular to an ultra-high-strength spring steel with high plasticity and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] At present, the development principle of steel for automobiles is to increase the strength of steel and maintain or improve its plasticity. Increasing the strength can reduce the weight of the car to meet the needs of energy conservation and environmental protection, while the maintenance or improvement of toughness and plasticity can meet the design of the model and improve driving safety. The automobile suspension spring is an elastic element in the suspension, which is used to ease the impact suffered by the vehicle while it is running. It is subjected to high-frequency reciprocating compression movement during work, so the design stress and quality are very important for the stability of the vehicle and the occupants. Safety and comfort play a vita...
