Description

Carbon steel nitrocarburizing surface porosity improvement method
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of metal heat treatment, and relates to a carbon steel nitrocarburizing surface porosity improving method.
Background
The process of simultaneously permeating nitrogen and carbon into the surface of a workpiece within the temperature range of 500-600 ℃ is called ferrite nitrocarburizing, and is a low-temperature chemical heat treatment process which is widely applied at present. The carbon steel has no alloy elements for generating alloy nitrides, and the hardness of a diffusion layer of the carbon steel is not high after nitrocarburizing, so that the carbon steel has little contribution to the wear resistance. So the main purpose of the carbon steel after nitrocarburizing is to form a compact white layer of about 6-20um on the outer surface to obtain good corrosion resistance.
One of the main factors affecting the corrosion resistance of the bright layer is the looseness of the bright layer. The porosity refers to the density of micropores in a white layer on the surface of a nitrided piece, and is a defect structure generated in the nitrocarburizing process. The AMS 2759/12A nitrocarburizing standard divides the loosening grade into 2 grades, and the loosening grade 1 means that the loosening thickness does not exceed 15% of the thickness of the white layer; by loose grade 2 is meant that the loose thickness exceeds 10% of the thickness of the white layer but does not exceed 50% of the thickness of the white layer. The mechanism of the loosening is generally considered to be that the nitrocarburizing process parameters are not proper, and the nitrogen concentration in the epsilon phase of the surface layer generates large fluctuation, so that nitrogen atoms are easy to combine into nitrogen molecules to escape from the surface to form holes. The surface porosity grade of carbon steel after the existing nitrocarburizing process is 2 grades, and how to reasonably set and control nitrocarburizing process parameters for improving the surface porosity can prevent the nitrogen atoms in the white and bright layer from diffusing outwards as little as possible, which is a big difficulty of the existing nitrocarburizing process.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the defects of the prior art, the invention provides a method for improving the surface porosity of carbon steel nitrocarburizing, which effectively solves the problem of the poor level of surface porosity generated by the original nitrocarburizing process and improves the corrosion resistance of the carbon steel after nitrocarburizing.
The technical scheme adopted by the invention is as follows:
a carbon steel nitrocarburizing surface porosity improving method comprises the following steps: putting a workpiece made of carbon steel into a gas nitriding furnace at the temperature of 560-; the nitrocarburizing treatment comprises a displacement stage, a nitrocarburizing stage and a cooling stage, and is characterized in that: introducing N in the replacement stage2Replacing air in the furnace and then introducing cracked NH3To N in the furnace2Carrying out replacement; NH is introduced at the nitrocarburizing stage3、N2And CO2To obtain the desired nitrogen potential; NH is firstly introduced in the cooling stage3And cracking NH3After the temperature is reduced to 380 +/-10 ℃, N is introduced2Until the workpiece made of carbon steel is discharged.
The carbon steel is carbon tool steel.
The displacement stage is preceded by N at low temperature2And evacuating the air in the furnace. The temperature in the furnace is raised to 450 +/-10 ℃, and cracked NH is introduced3To furnace N2Evacuation is carried out and it is ensured that no white bright layer is formed on the surface during the temperature rise phase.
The nitrocarburizing stage is the main process of nitrocarburizing treatment, and the gas is N2、NH3And CO2The temperature of nitrocarburizing is 560-.
Introducing cracked NH at the same time in the cooling stage3And a small flow NH3And a certain nitrogen potential is still kept in the atmosphere at the cooling stage, and the nitrogen concentration difference between the nitrogen concentration on the surface of the part and the nitrogen potential of the atmosphere is reduced.
An intelligent nitrogen potential control system is installed in the gas nitriding furnace, and comprises a laser nitrogen potential sensor and an intelligent flow controller; the laser nitrogen potential sensor measures the ammonia partial pressure and the hydrogen partial pressure in the furnace in real time and calculates the nitrogen potential by using the results of the ammonia partial pressure and the hydrogen partial pressure; the intelligent flow controller accurately controls and adjusts the gas flow and accurately controls the nitrogen potential in the furnace.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following advantages: NH cracking at the temperature rising stage3Has two advantages: firstly, N in the furnace is put in advance2Displacement, reducing the time for atmosphere establishment during the nitrocarburizing stage. And secondly, surface nitriding is avoided in the temperature rise stage, and a brilliant layer with uncontrollable nitrogen concentration is formed. The nitrocarburizing stage adopts lower nitrogen potential, thereby avoiding the too big fluctuation of the nitrogen potential caused by too high nitrogen potential and influencing the too big fluctuation of the nitrogen concentration of the white bright layer. Introducing cracked NH in the cooling stage3And a small flow NH3To maintain a certain nitrogen potential in the atmosphere and prevent NH from being suddenly cut off3The nitrogen potential of the atmosphere drops too fast, which leads to loosening caused by the diffusion of nitrogen atoms in the white layer to the outside of the atmosphere. Meanwhile, the invention also adopts an intelligent nitrogen potential control system, wherein the laser nitrogen potential sensor is particularly suitable for introducing N into nitrocarburizing atmosphere2The measurement of the nitrogen potential of the atmosphere solves the problem of the prior NH3、N2And CO2The problem that the nitrogen potential cannot be accurately calculated by using only a hydrogen probe or only a bubble bottle in the nitrocarburizing atmosphere. The intelligent flow controller is used for controlling the flow of NH3、N2And CO2The flow is precisely controlled and adjusted, and the nitrogen potential of the atmosphere is always controlled within the nitrogen potential range required by the process.

When the furnace temperature rises to 570 +/-5 ℃, 50 percent of NH is simultaneously introduced3、45%N2And 5% C02And (3) carrying out nitrocarburizing, automatically controlling the nitrogen potential to be 1.6-2 by an intelligent nitrogen potential control system, and keeping the temperature for 3.5H.
After the nitrocarburizing is finished, the quick cooling fan is turned on, and CO is turned off2And N2Continuously introducing cracked NH3And a small flow NH3Cooling is carried out, NH3Flow 2m3H, cracked ammonia flow 3m3/h。
Cooling the furnace to 380 +/-5 ℃, and closing NH3And cracking NH3While simultaneously turning on N2,N2Flow 2m3/h。
Cooling to 150 +/-5 ℃, turning off the quick cooling fan and N2And discharging the carbon tool steel workpiece.

The graph of the nitridation process is shown in fig. 1.
Result detection
The samples produced by the two processes of example 1 and comparative example 1 are taken, metallographic detection is carried out on the samples produced by the two processes according to the AMS 2759/12A nitrocarburizing standard, the metallographic result of the process of example 1 shows that the surface porosity grade is 1 grade, and a specific metallographic structure detection photo is shown in FIG. 4. The metallographic result of the conventional process, namely comparative example 1, shows that the surface porosity level is 2, and a specific metallographic structure detection photograph is shown in fig. 3.
Analysis shows that cracked NH3 is used to replace NH3 in the temperature raising stage, so that nitrogen atoms are prevented from permeating into the surface of the workpiece, and a white bright layer with uncontrollable nitrogen concentration is avoided in the temperature raising stage. In the nitrocarburizing stage, the accurate measurement and control of the nitrogen potential of the atmosphere are performed by the intelligent nitrogen potential control system, the error zone that the nitrogen potential of the nitrocarburizing atmosphere is controlled by the traditional method of measuring and controlling the decomposition rate by using a bubble bottle alone is corrected, and the process adopts lower nitrogen potential in the nitrocarburizing stage, reduces the fluctuation of the nitrogen potential and is beneficial to the stability of the nitrogen concentration on the surface of a workpiece. Cracked NH3 and NH3 are introduced into the cooling section at the same time, so that the difference between the nitrogen concentration on the surface of the workpiece and the nitrogen potential of the atmosphere is further reduced, and the possibility that nitrogen atoms in the white layer diffuse outwards to form porosity is reduced. The surface porosity grade of the carbon steel after nitrocarburizing is improved from the original grade 2 to the grade 1, so that the corrosion resistance of the carbon steel material can be effectively improved.
The technical solutions and concepts described above are only simple words for describing the design idea of the present invention, and are not limitations of the design idea of the present invention, and any combination, addition, or modification that does not exceed the design idea of the present invention falls within the protection scope of the present invention.
