HIGH-STRENGTH BOLTING STEEL AND PREPARATION METHOD THEREFOR
100011 This application claims the benefit of priority to Chinese Patent
Application No.
201410091577.8, titled "HIGH STRENGTH BOLTING STEEL AND PREPARING
.. METHOD THEREOF", filed with the Chinese State Intellectual Property Office
on March 13,
2014.
FIELD
[0002] The present application relates to the field of metal, and in
particular to a high
strength bolting steel and a preparing method for the high strength bolting
steel.
BACKGROUND
[0003] In recent years, strong wind disasters, such as typhoon, frequently
attack the
southeast costal areas of China, causing damage to a number of electric
transmission and
transformation equipments and severely affecting a safe operation of a power
grid. Since the
southeast costal areas are developed areas of China and an electric load is
concentrated there,
the strong wind disasters often cause inestimable social damage and economical
loss for the
local areas. A high voltage power arrester in a substation is an important
device for power
supplying of a power system, which has a relatively low inherent frequency,
and a part of the
.. inherent frequency at low level is close to a main frequency range of a
strong fluctuating wind,
such as typhoon. The device will vibrate due to the strong fluctuating wind,
causing stress
concentration in different positions. In the case that the device resonates
due to the motivation,
the stress concentration areas of the device will rupture and fail.
[0004] Bolts of the power arrester device are generally arranged in the stress
concentration
areas of the device for supporting, fixing and connecting. In the case that
the vibrations
caused by wind causes stress concentration in the device, the bolts are apt to
distort when
suffering pulling stress and bending stress. Further, due to the supporting by
the bolts, upper
porcelain knobs will distort due to the distortion of the bolts, thereby
causing failure of the
whole device in the strong wind.

[0005] In recent years, it is found by practice that adding RE (rare earth)
elements to an
alloy steel can efficiently improve a mechanical property of the alloy steel
and improve
various performance indexes of the material in different degrees. The
performances of the
material can be optimized by separately preparing the RE elements and the
alloy steel, and
mixing the RE elements with the alloy steel. Thus, currently, it is of great
importance to
optimize the components and improve performances of the bolting alloy steel
dedicated for
the arrester device in the wind resistance field of the power arrester.

is provided, which includes:
RE 0.05w0/0-0.5wt%;
0.35wt%-0.45wt%;
Cr 1.2wt%-1.8wt%;
Si 0.17wt%-0.37wt%;
Mo 0.4wV/0-0.8wt%;
V 0.2wt%-0.4wt%;
Nb 0-0.005wt%;
with remainder being Fe,
where the RE is at least one of La and Ce.
[0021] Lanthanum (La) and Cerium (Ce) each are RE elements. In the present
application,
La, Ce or a mixture of La and Ce is added into the bolting steel, and La or
Ce, which, as an
active element, can refine grain structures of the bolting steel efficiently,
thereby reducing a
content of hydrogen and diffusion and permeation of hydrogen in the steel,
decreasing grain
boundary segregation of hydrogen, sulphur and other harmful elements, and
improving the
strength, stiffness and plasticity of the steel. In the present application, a
content of La, Ce or
the mixture of La and Ce is 0.05wt%-0.5wt%. In this range, martensite and
austenite
structures increase obviously in the steel, and mechanical properties of the
steel are optimized.
In the case that the content of La, Ce or the mixutre of La and Ce is less
than 0.05wt%, the
generated effect is limited due to a less content, thereby influencing wind
resistance
performance of the material. In the case that the content of La, Ce and the
mixture of La and
Ce exceeds 0.5%, metal inclusions containing La, Ce or the mixture of La and
Ce enlarge and
increase in the material structure, and the material performance is
influenced, thereby causing
that a wind resistance requirement of the power arrester can not be met
gradually. The content
of La, Ce or the mixture of La and Ce is preferably in a range of 0.08wt%-
0.5wt%, more
preferably in a range of 0.10wV/0-0.48wt%, most preferably in a range of
0.12wt%-0.40wt%,
and most preferably in a range of 0.25wt%-0.35wt%.
[0022] Carbon (C), as an added element in the present application, can improve
the strength,
hardness and hardenability of the material. In the case that a content of C is
less than 0.35wt%,
- 5 -

CA 02941276 2016-08-31
English translation of PCT/CN2014/081896
OP1614-09-0442
the bolting steel has good toughness and plasticity, but the strength,
hardness and
hardenability of the steel will be limited to a certain degree. In the case
that the content of C is
greater than 0.45w1%, the toughness and plasticity of the material is reduced
significantly, and
brittle fracture will occur easily. Thus, the content of C should be in a
range of
0.35wt%-0.45wt%. The content of C is preferably in a range of 0.37wt%-
0.42wV/o, and more
preferably in a range of 0.35wt%-0.40wt%.
[0023] Chromium (Cr) is added to the bolting steel, thereby efficiently
improving
antioxidation and anticorrosion capability of the material, and improving the
hardenability of
the material to increase the strength of the material. In the case that a
content of Cr is less than
1.2wt%, the above effect is difficult to be achieved; or in the case that the
content of Cr is
higher than I .8wt%, the toughness of the material will be reduced, thus the
content of Cr
should be in a range of 1.2wV/0-1.8wt%. The content of Cr is preferably in a
range of
1.3wt%-1.6wt%, and more preferably in a range of 1.4wt%-1.55wt%.
[0024] Silicon (Si) is a good deoxidizer for the material, and Si is added
into the bolting
steel, thereby improving strength of a solid solution of the bolting steel,
which is beneficial to
increase tempering stability of the material. In the case that a content of
silicon is higher than
0.37wt%, plasticity of the material will be reduced, or in the case that the
content of silicon is
less than 0.17wt%, the function of the deoxidizer and solid solution
strengthening of silicon
will be weakened. Thus, the best effect can be achieved only when the content
of silicon is in
a range of 0.17wt%-0.37wt%. The content of silicon is preferably in a range of

0.20wt%-0.32wt%, more preferably in a range of 0.23w0/0-0.30wt%, and most
preferably in
a range of 0.25wt%-0.28wt%.
[0025] Molybdenum (Mo) can strengthen grain boundary of the material, improve
hardenability of the material, increase temping stability and improve
toughness of the material.
In the case that a content of molybdenum is less than 0.4wt%, the above effect
is difficult to
be achieved; or in the case that the content of Mo is higher than 0.8wt%, a
cost of the bolting
steel is increased and the optimal economy can not be realized. Thus, a good
effect can be
achieved only when the content of molybdenum in the bolting steel is in a
range of
0.4wt%-0.8wt%. The content of Mo is preferably in a range of 0.48wt%-0.72wt%,
more
preferably in a range of 0.54wt%-0.68wt%, and most preferably in a range of
0.60wt%-0.65wt%.
- 6 -

[0026] Vanadium (V) can efficiently restrain diffusion of hydrogen, refine
grains, and
improve a mechanical property of the material. In the case that a content of V
is less than
0.2wt%, the above effect is difficult to be achieved; or in the case that the
content of V is
higher than 0.4wt%, the beneficial effect to the material structure will not
be improved but the
mechanical property of the material will be influenced as the content
increases. Thus, the
content of vanadium should be in a range of 0.2wt%-0.4wt%. The content of
vanadium is
preferably in a range of 0.25wt%-0.38vvt%, more preferably in a range of
0.28wt%-0.35wt%,
and most preferably in a range of 0.30wt /0-0.32wt%.
[0027] Niobium (Nb) can improve toughness of the material and refine
grain structures
efficiently. Niobium is a trace element contained in the material. In the case
that a content of
niobium is too high, the above effect can not be achieved, and the economy
will be influenced
greatly. Thus, the content of niobium should be in a range of 0-0.005wt%. The
content of
niobium is preferably in a range of 0.002wt%-0.0048wt%, and more preferably in
a range of
0.0035wt%-0.0040wt%.
[0028] "I he high strength bolting steel provided according to the present
application
includes: rare earth 0.05wV/0-0.5wV/0, carbon 0.35wt%-0.45wt%, chromium
1.2wt%-1.8wt%, silicon 0.17wt%-0.37wt%, molybdenum 0.4wt%-0.8wt%, vanadium
0.2wt%-0.4wt%, niobium 0-0.005wt%, with remainder being Fe, wherein the rare
earth is at
least one of lanthanum and cerium. In the bolting steel according to the
present application,
the added active element lanthanum and cerium can efficiently refine grain
structures of the
bolting steel, reduce the content of hydrogen and diffusion and permeation of
hydrogen in the
steel, reduce grain boundary segregation of the harmful elements, and improve
strength of the
steel. The added chromium can efficiently improve the antioxidation and
anticorrosion
capability of the material, arid improve the hardenability of the material to
increase the
strength. The added Mo can strengthen the grain boundary of the material,
improve the
hardenability of the material, increase the tempering stability and improve
the toughness of
the material. Carbon, vanadium, niobium and Fe are further added into the
bolting steel

100321 During the process of preparing the bolting steel ingot, the
smelting is
performed by ways well-known for those skilled in the art, and preferably the
smelting is
performed in a vacuum induction furnace.
[0033] After the bolting steel ingot is prepared, in the present
application, the bolting
steel ingot is forged, so as to eliminate structure defect generated during
the casting process
and break big grains in the bolting steel ingot sufficiently, thereby
obtaining fine internal
grains. The forging is performed by ways well-known for those skilled in the
art. The steel
ingot is hot-rolled at 1150 C to obtain a hot-rolled bar, then the hot-rolled
bar is forged within
a range of 900 C to 1030 C. That is, the bolting steel is hot formed on a
horizontal forging
machine, such that a metal flow line is continuous along components, and a
fiber flow line is
complete. The forged bolting steel is cooled slowly and then annealed. The
annealing can
eliminate residual stress generated in the forging process, which prepares for
the subsequent
heat processing. The annealing is preferably performed at a temperature of 650
C to 700 C,
and the duration of heat preservation for the annealing is preferably 2-3
hours.
[0034] According to the present application, after the bolting steel is
annealed, the
bolting steel is quenched. The quenching is preferably performed at a
temperature of 800 C
to 900 C, and the duration of heat preservation for the quenching is
preferably 1-2 hours.
Finally the quenched bolting steel ingot is tempered, the tempering is
preferably performed at
a temperature of 500 C to 600 C, and the duration of the tempering is
preferably 1-2 hours.
In the present application, after the quenching and tempering, the bolting
steel ingot obtains
internal structures with uniform and fine grains. After the tempering, the
bolting steel obtains
martensite structures and a parc cf austenite sEtuctures.
100351 According to the present application, a method for preparing the
high strength
bolting steel is further provided. During the process of preparing the bolting
steel, in the
present application, firstly the bolting steel ingot is prepared, and then the
bolting steel ingot
is forged, such that grains in the bolting steel ingot are broken sufficiently
to obtain structures
with fine and uniform grains; the forged bolting steel ingot is annealed,
which eliminates
stress generated in the forging process; and finally the annealed bolting
steel ingot is
quenched and tempered, thereby obtaining martensite structures and a part of
austenite
structures having fine and uniform grains, which improves the strength and
plasticity of the
material efficiently.

[0036] According to the elements of the bolting steel, element contents
and the
preparing method, the bolting material in the present application has high
tensile strength and
plasticity, thereby providing strong supporting, fixing and connecting for a
power arrester
device, efficiently resisting stress concentration and deviation behavior of
the arrester device
in a strong wind, and protecting a safe operation of the device. For the
material components of
the bolting steel provided by the present application, little precious metal
is contained, the
mechanical property is good, and cost-effectiveness is high. In addition, the
preparing process
for the material is simple and is convenient to apply, which may be promoted
in a large scale.
According to the present application, the strength and stiffness of the
material are improved,
thereby changing a natural frequency of the arrester device at a certain
degree, avoiding
resonance of structures due to the motivation of a strong wind, reducing
vibration amplitudes
of structures of the device, and guaranteeing a normal operation of the power
arrester device.
