Metal powder injection molding vacuum degreasing fritting furnace cleaning by degreasing technique
Technical field
The present invention relates to metal powder injection molding vacuum degreasing fritting furnace, particularly relate to a kind of metal powder injection molding vacuum degreasing fritting furnace cleaning by degreasing technique.
Background technology
Metal current powder injection-molded vacuum degreasing fritting furnace furnace interior primary structure is except calandria and heat-insulation layer, also be provided with an airtight hopper, hopper is provided with safety valve, and hopper inside communicates with degreasing pipeline, and furnace interior communicates with the gas ducting be arranged on body of heater.In skimming processes, calandria heats, and vavuum pump is constantly bled by degreasing pipeline, and gas ducting is constantly filled with protective gas, makes hopper inside and outside formation pressure reduction, impels gas unidirectional to flow.Along with the rising of skimming temp, binding agent changes into gaseous state, arrives piece surface by spreading and penetrating through pore.Uniform air flow energy removes most of binding agent, but still has a small amount of binding agent to stay some position in inside parts or hopper.There is no cleaning step in original degreasing process, cannot thoroughly remove residual binding agent, can carbon be cracked in the sintering process stage, thus performance after affecting part sintering.
Summary of the invention
The present invention is directed to and cannot thoroughly remove residual binding agent in prior art and affect the shortcoming that part sinters rear performance, provide and a kind ofly improve the density after part sintering, thus obtain the metal powder injection molding vacuum degreasing fritting furnace cleaning by degreasing technique of good performance.
In order to solve the problems of the technologies described above, the present invention is solved by following technical proposals:
Metal powder injection molding vacuum degreasing fritting furnace cleaning by degreasing technique, the first valve is arranged on gas ducting, and the second valve is arranged on degreasing pipeline, comprises the following steps:
A. standard defatting step;
Step one: the calandria heating of furnace interior, vavuum pump is constantly bled to hopper inside, protective gas constantly enters furnace interior by gas ducting, and enter hopper inside by crack between a door and its frame and safety valve, discharged by degreasing pipeline again, binding agent is collected by the trap be arranged on degreasing pipeline, and hopper inside and outside differential pressure is in poised state;
Step 2: calandria continuous heating, binding agent is converted into gaseous state binding agent, and protective gas and part gaseous state binding agent form mist, and mist is discharged by degreasing pipeline again;
B. cleaning step;
Step 3: after standard degreasing process completes, now furnace interior is still in heated condition, vavuum pump is also in running status, and hopper inside and inside parts still have a small amount of gaseous state binding agent not to be pulled away, and now part external pressure P is equal with inside parts pressure P 0, close the second valve, open the first valve, vavuum pump work but not to hopper internal air exhausting, protective gas is still maintained by gas ducting and enters furnace interior, pressure reduction now inside and outside hopper increases, protective gas accelerates to enter hopper, enter the gaseous state binding agent that hopper afterflush is residual, and be mixed to form mist with gaseous state binding agent, instantaneous part external pressure P ' is greater than inside parts pressure P 0 ', because the pressure reduction inside and outside part increases, partial protection gas penetrates into inside parts and the gaseous state binding agent residual with inside parts is mixed to form mist,
Step 4: after the pressure of furnace interior reaches setting value, this setting value is P2, and part external pressure and inside parts pressure also reach balance; Close the first valve, open the second valve, vavuum pump is to hopper internal air exhausting, the mist of hopper inside is discharged by degreasing pipeline, instantaneous part external pressure P " be less than inside parts pressure P 0 ", now the mist of inside parts is to external diffusion, and is together pulled away along with the mist of the air pump hopper inside of vavuum pump; After the pressure of furnace interior reaches setting value, this setting value is P1, and part external and internal pressure reaches balance again;
As preferably, repeat step 3 and step 4, the time of repetition, the gaseous state binding agent that repeatedly, the inner each corner of hopper and inside parts remain was eliminated gradually between 0.5 ~ 3h.
As preferably, the setting range of P1 is: 1 ~ 30KPa.
As preferably, the setting range of P2 is: 11 ~ 80KPa.
As preferably, wherein P2-P1 >=10KPa.
As preferably, the pressure rise curve slope of furnace interior and decline curve slope are by the first valve and the second valve regulated.
The present invention increases cleaning step in degreasing process, changed up and down by the instantaneous of furnace interior pressure, also pressure reduction variation can certainly will be formed inside and outside hopper and inside and outside part, thus the residual gaseous state binding agent protected property gas continuous " flushing " realizing hopper each position inner and inside parts is taken away, until make the gaseous state binding agent that hopper is inner and inside parts is residual thoroughly be taken away, avoid binding agent affect in the cracking of sintering process stage part sinter after performance; Control, promote density and control chemical composition at accessory size as helpful in the carbon content control in stainless steel etc.
