宝钢连铸轴承钢的发展及质量水平 李 铮 裘旭迪 刘湘江 （宝山钢铁股份有限公司研究院，上海 201900 ） 1 摘 要 本文对比了连铸坯大方坯、小方坯、模铸三种工艺生产高碳铬轴承钢的质量。结果表明，采用末端轻压下+ 铸坯高温扩散+1350 轧机开坯工艺可显著提高轴承钢的中心碳偏析水平，且能够满足钢材的质量要求（ASTM E381 S/R/C≤2.0）。经轻压下和高温扩散大方坯的中心碳偏析指数明显优于小方坯质量。低倍试验结果表明，已达到了 模铸钢锭的水平。采用末端轻压下+铸坯高温扩散工艺生产的轴承钢棒材的疲劳寿命与模铸材相当，线材可用作钢 球的生产，已被越来越多的用户认可。 关键词 轴承钢 中心碳偏析 疲劳寿命 连铸 The Development and Quality of Continous Bearing Steel Casting in Baosteel Li Zheng Qiu Xudi Liu Xiangjiang （Research Institute, Baoshan Iron Steel Co., Ltd., Shanghai ,201900 ） Abstract The comparisons of bearing steel quality produced by continuous bloom and billet casting, as well as ingot casting, have been investigated in the present paper. The results showed that the central carbon segregation of bloom, which satisfied the quality requirement (ASTM E381 S/R/C≤2.0), has been improved through the optimized process, including soft reduction, high-temperature diffusion and 1350mm hot rolling. Furthermore, the central carbon segregation and fatigue life of bloom produced by soft reduction, high-temperature diffusion were identical to ingot casting, which were better than the billet casting.,Therefore, the wire rods have been applied to produce bearting balls and accepted by more and more customers.
