(1) technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of metallic substance thermal treatment process, particularly a kind of gear carburizing quenching process for heavy-duty automobile.
(2) background technology
The heavy-duty car gear can change interior tissue by carburizing and quenching, improves wear resistance, intensity and the safe range of stress of part, gives full play to the potential performance of material.Traditional carburizing quenching process, its process generally are divided into carburizing, spread, drop to quenching temperature Ac
3More than (Ac
3+ (30~50) ℃), insulation, quench 5 stages; Or adopt carburizing diffusion back air cooling reheat to quenching temperature, be incubated, quench; Or adopting Qa technology, these technologies or solved inherent liver mass problem separately or solved product heat treatment deformation problem separately do not solve the inherent liver mass and the external problem on deformation of carburized gears simultaneously.The deficiency of such technology be part behind carburizing and quenching, obtain interior inhomogeneous in metallographic structure, rank is higher even overproof; Irregular control, the often present situation of appearance distortion off technical requirement of being difficult to of external distortion.Cause the gear performance to reduce and early fatigue occurs damaging.
(3) summary of the invention
The present invention is directed to the deficiency of the existing carburization process of heavy-duty car gear, a kind of product inner quality, the irregular distortion tendency of reduction product, strong, reliable and stable gear carburizing quenching process for heavy-duty automobile of controllability of improving is provided.
In order to solve the problems of the technologies described above, the present invention includes the following processing step that carries out successively: carburizing, spread, be cooled to Ac
1-(30~50) ℃, be warming up to Ac
3+ (30~50) ℃ insulation, quenching.
For making workpiece can obtain inner quality and external quality preferably, diffusion temperature is 920 ± 10 ℃, and soaking time is 60-90min, and carburizing uses carburizing agent to be nitrogen-methyl alcohol-propane or Sweet natural gas-RX gas.
Implementation of processes of the present invention can be according to the following steps:
A. work out the carburizing quenching process program according to the workpiece technical requirements by process curve of the present invention.
B. by PVH carbon control instrument system input carburizing quenching process program and numbering.
C. workpiece shove charge.
D. part carburizing and quench treatment are carried out in the carburizing quenching process program number of selected establishment and execution, and the process time in each stage is determined according to the case depth that gear technique requires.
E. the carburizing quenching process program is finished, and sends end signal, and part is come out of the stove.Finish the workpiece carbonization quenching technology.
Beneficial effect of the present invention is: the present invention is cooled to Ac after employing carburizing, the diffusion in the workpiece carbonization quenching process
1Below be Ac
1-(30~50) ℃ are raised to Ac again
3More than be Ac
3+ (30~50) ℃ insulation is quenched then.This technology directly drops to Ac for 920 ± 10 ℃ from carburizing, diffusion temperature
1-(30~50) ℃, because cooling rate is very fast, the workpiece tissue can access good refinement, and workpiece inside and infiltration layer scope exist uniform perlite and tiny blocky ferrite, and this is organized in and is raised to Ac
3More than be Ac
3Quench after+(30~50) ℃ and the insulation, the carbide of superfine length is easy to dissolve, diffuse to form tiny granular carbide, the homogenizing of while perlite and ferritic structure, make that the carbide that dissolved is saturated in the austenite is tiny, obtain the granular carbide that fine acicular martensite and disperse distribute after the quenching.Because the influence of structural stress and thermal stresses reduces, thereby reduced the distortion in the quench cooled process, it is inside and outside in quality to have improved product, has overcome traditional technology or inner quality difference or the overproof weakness of external distortion.Carburizing quenching process of the present invention, workpiece can obtain good inner quality and external quality, and workpiece can obtain higher work-ing life in the process under arms.

(5) embodiment
This specific embodiment is the carburizing quenching process of a heavy-duty car driven bevel pinion as shown in Figure 1, and single-piece weight is 9Kg, and modulus is 10, and the number of teeth is 33, and material is 22CrMoH, and it is Ac that the austenite of this material begins transition temperature

3It is 785 ℃.Product technology requires: effectively carburized layer depth is 0.9-1.2mm, and quenching rear surface hardness is HRC59-63, and centre hardness is HRC33-48, and metallographic structure meets ZBJ04001-88 automobile gear metallographic carburizing standard, and external distortion as shown in Figure 1.
As shown in Figure 2, this specific embodiment comprises the following processing step that carries out successively: the intensification exhaust, see a stage among Fig. 2; The b of b in the stage among Fig. 2 seen in carburizing
1Stage; B among Fig. 2 is seen in diffusion
2Stage; Be cooled to Ac
1The c stage among Fig. 2 is seen in-(30~50) ℃; Be raised to quenching temperature Ac
3The d stage among Fig. 2 is seen in+(30~50) ℃ insulation; Quench, see the f stage among Fig. 2.
This specific embodiment use equipment is a controlled atmosphere sealed-box type multipurpose furnace, and batch is 84.Parameters such as time, carbon potential, temperature can be set in the program of PVH system and carry out.Time is controlled by the time relay; Carbon potential is controlled by carbon control instrument; Power is by the control of KT series power regulating eqiupment, and by the power regulating eqiupment temperature control, temperature signal is by the thermopair transmission; Carburizing agent is nitrogen, methyl alcohol and propane, and wherein nitrogen and methyl alcohol are thinner, and the amount of dripping is 3000ml/h during carburizing; Propane is enriched gas, maintains 4-6L/min during carburizing; 920 ± 10 ℃ of carburizing temperatures are cooled to 690 ± 10 ℃, and quenching temperature is 825 ± 10 ℃.The tooth piece that test block employing and product material, modulus, processing mode be identical, have 3 teeth.By carburizing quenching process program shown in the process curve establishment table 1 shown in Figure 2, carry out then, up to EP (end of program), finish carburizing quenching process automatically.
This furnaceman's part cuts open inspection through the processing of aided processes such as cleaning, tempering, surface-conditioning to tooth piece and 1 product, checks all qualified and obvious raisings of inner quality.To the external distortion inspection of all the other 83 follow-up pulleys, meet have 79 of Fig. 1 technical requirements, promptly adopt this process distortions qualification rate to reach 95%, effect is significantly better than the level of common carburizing quenching process qualification rate 50-70%.But all the other 4 second-heating are reprocessed with Quenching press.
