3. Manufacturing Techniques for SA 723 الصلب الهيكلي

Producing SA 723 requires precision to meet ASTM A723’s strict standards. إليك انهيار خطوة بخطوة:

عمليات صناعة الصلب

يتم استخدام طريقتين رئيسيتين, depending on volume and component type:

1. فرن الأكسجين الأساسي (bof): The most common method for large-scale production (على سبيل المثال, عوارض الجسر, pipeline sections). Molten iron is mixed with alloying elements (كر, شهر, في), then oxygen is blown in to remove impurities. Fast and cost-effective for bulk orders.
2. فرن القوس الكهربائي (EAF): Ideal for small batches or custom parts (على سبيل المثال, specialized gears or shafts). Scrap steel is melted using electric arcs, and alloying elements are added to hit SA 723’s chemical specs. Offers tighter control over composition for high-precision parts.

المعالجة الحرارية

Heat treatment is critical to unlocking SA 723’s strength and toughness. Key processes:

• التطبيع: Heats to 880–950°C, holds for 1–2 hours, then air-cools. Refines grain structure and prepares the steel for tempering.
• تبريد وتهدئة: After normalizing, the steel is quenched (water-cooled) to 200°C, then tempered at 600–680°C for 2–4 hours. This forms a “tempered martensite” structure that boosts قوة الشد و صلابة.
• الصلب: Heats to 820–870°C, يبرد ببطء. Reduces stress after forming (used for precision parts like gears or shafts).

تشكيل العمليات

SA 723 is shaped into final products using techniques that preserve its strength:

• المتداول الساخن: Heats to 1150–1250°C, لفات في الحزم, الأنابيب, أو لوحات. The main method for construction components (على سبيل المثال, I-beams or wide-flange columns).
• المتداول البارد: Used for thin-walled pipes or precision parts (على سبيل المثال, التروس الصغيرة). Creates smooth surfaces but requires post-heat treatment to restore ductility.
• تزوير: Hammers or presses hot steel into complex shapes (على سبيل المثال, turbine shafts or custom machine parts). Improves grain alignment, تعزيز القوة.
• البثق: Pushes heated steel through a die to make hollow parts (على سبيل المثال, pipeline segments or machine housings). Fast for custom shapes.
• ختم: Rarely used for SA 723—most applications need thickness, which stamping can’t provide.

المعالجة السطحية

لتعزيز المتانة ومقاومة التآكل:

• الجلفنة: الانخفاضات في الزنك المنصهر. Ideal for outdoor parts (على سبيل المثال, bridge railings) — lasts 30+ سنوات بدون صدأ.
• تلوين: Applies high-temp epoxy or polyurethane paint. Used for marine components or industrial machinery to resist saltwater or chemicals.
