Nitriding method for stainless steel parts of steam turbine and gas turbine
The technical field is as follows:
the invention relates to a nitriding process of stainless steel parts.
Background art:
the passivation film hinders the penetration of nitrogen atoms due to the passivation film on the surface of the stainless steel. The removal of the passivation film is one of the keys to nitridation. The original methods for removing the passive film comprise four methods of sand blasting, acid washing, ammonium chloride adding and electrolytic gas phase catalysis, wherein the passive film removal by sand blasting requires that the passive film is immediately put into a furnace after sand blasting, the operation of large pieces is difficult, and operators are easy to suffer from occupational diseases; the cost of adding ammonium chloride to remove the passive film is high, and the excessive ammonium chloride can corrode the surface of a workpiece to generate pits; pickling to remove the passive film has certain danger to the body of an operator and requires immediate furnace entry; the electrolytic gas phase catalysis is adopted to remove the passive film, and the mixture of concentrated sulfuric acid and salt is very easy to threaten the personal safety of operators.
The invention content is as follows:
the invention aims to provide a nitriding method for stainless steel parts of steam turbines and gas turbines, which can improve the corrosion resistance and surface hardness of stainless steel parts by removing a passive film on the surface of stainless steel to easily form a nitrided layer on the surface of stainless steel, and has the advantages of simple operation, capability of reducing the personal damage to operators, low cost, stable nitriding quality and stable product quality. The invention is carried out according to the following steps: a. dividing pill granules or medicinal powder into three equal parts, and respectively placing into an iron box, wherein the addition amount of the pill is 0.1-0.3 g/Kg stainless steel, and the main chemical component of the pill granules or medicinal powder is polyvinyl chloride resin (CH) with various types2CHCl)n(ii) a b. Placing the iron box with the three equally-divided pill particles or medicinal powder on the upper, middle and lower parts of a nitriding tool or a nitriding furnace; c. continuously feeding ammonia gas into the furnace, and heating the stainless steel part in a nitriding atmosphere at 540-640 ℃ for 6-80 hours to form a nitriding layer with the thickness of 0.1-0.7 mm on the surface layer of the stainless steel part. The nitriding process of the invention comprises the following steps: continuously introducing ammonia gas into the furnace, and enabling ammonia molecules to migrate to the metal surface and be adsorbed on the metal surface; ammonia molecules are continuously decomposed on a phase interface to form nitrogen atoms and hydrogen atoms; the active atoms are compounded into molecules, and continuously pass through the diffusion layer boundary of phase interface reaction and continuously pass through the furnaceRemoving nitrogen atoms adsorbed on the surface of the metal, dissolving the nitrogen atoms in α -Fe, diffusing the nitrogen atoms from the surface of the metal to the inside of the metal to generate a corresponding concentration gradient, starting to form nitrides on the surface when the solubility in α -Fe is exceeded, growing the nitrides in the vertical direction and the parallel direction of the surface of the metal, forming a gamma' phase and an epsilon phase on the surface of the metal in sequence, continuously thickening the nitride layer, and removing the nitrogen atoms from the nitridesThe layer diffuses into the metal. The reaction mechanism is as follows: decomposing the pills at 540-640 ℃, and reacting with ammonia gas to generate ammonium chloride, hydrogen chloride gas and methane gas; hydrogen chloride gas and oxide film (Cr)2O3) Reacting to generate chromium trichloride and water vapor; reacting chromium trichloride with ammonia gas to generate chromium nitride and hydrogen chloride gas; while the above reaction is completed, the step of the basic process of nitriding is also performed, and the chemical reaction formula is as follows:
