The commonly used screw materials
in our country are No. 45 steel, 40Cr, ammoniated steel, 38CrMOAl, high
temperature alloy and so on. 1) No. 45 steel is cheap and has good
processing performance, but its wear resistance and corrosion resistance
are poor. Heat treatment: quenching and tempering HB220-270,
high-frequency quenching HRC45-48. 2) The performance of 40Cr is better
than that of No. 45 steel, but it is often plated with a layer of
chromium to improve its corrosion resistance and wear resistance.
However, the requirements for the chromium plating layer are relatively
high. If the plating layer is too thin, it is easy to wear, and if it is
too thick, it is easy to peel off. After peeling, it will accelerate the
corrosion. It has been less used. Heat treatment: quenched and tempered
HB220-270, hard chromium plating HRC>553) Nitrided steel, 38CrMoAl has
excellent comprehensive properties and is widely used. Generally, the
nitride layer reaches 0.4-0.6 mm. However, this material has low
resistance to hydrogen chloride corrosion and is relatively expensive.
4) The high temperature alloy material is superior to other materials.
The material does not require coating and is mainly used for the
halogen-free screw of the injection molding machine. The material has
high oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance. The heat treatment
is hra55`60.
