IGBT medium frequency induction heating equipment can effectively prevent quenching cracking defects of the 45 steel bottom bracket bowl reverse side mold

45 steel is a commonly used material in industry, but quenching cracks are prone to occur when 45 steel is quenched. In order to prevent quenching cracks in 45 steel, IGBT medium frequency induction heating equipment can be used for heat treatment. It is said that the effect is particularly good.

The A-type bowl reverse side mold of the bicycle center axis is made of 45 steel, and the technical requirements require that the hardness of the workpiece after treatment is 55-57HRC. The original heat treatment process of the workpiece is low-temperature tempering after overall quenching. The specific process is: (820-840) ℃ fire. During production, it was found that the quality of heat treatment was unstable, and many workpieces developed cracks at sharp corners where the mold size changed, seriously affecting product quality and production efficiency.

Through the analysis and practice summary of quenching cracks in 45 steel, it is proposed to improve the heat treatment process. That is, the induction quenching + low-temperature tempering process is used to replace the original heat treatment process. After the workpiece is quenched by IGBT medium frequency heating equipment, the surface hardness and strength increase, eliminating the hidden danger of quenching cracks. After the workpiece is tempered at low temperature, the residual stress generated during quenching is eliminated, the structure is stabilized, and the product performance is good.

After adopting the medium frequency induction heat treatment process, the performance of the 45 steel bottom bracket bowl reverse side mold is good, no quenching cracking defects were found, the workpiece quality is all qualified, the production runs normally, and the technical requirements and production requirements are met.
