Background
There is known a technique of forming a surface layer made of chromium nitride on the surface of an iron-based metal to improve the wear resistance, oxidation resistance, corrosion resistance, and the like of the iron-based metal. Regarding such a technique, the present applicant has developed a technique shown in patent document 1 below.

Patent document 2: japanese patent laid-open publication No. 2011-
In patent document 1, a surface layer made of chromium carbonitride is formed by nitriding an iron alloy material in advance and then chromizing the iron alloy material.
The patent document 1 mentioned above describes the following.
The method for modifying the surface of a metal according to claim 1 of the present invention is a method for preparing a base material of an iron-based metal or a nickel-based metal. The surface of the iron-based metal or the nickel-based metal is covered with an oxide film and a passivation film. When an oxide film or a passivation film is present on the surface, diffusion and permeation of nitrogen atoms are generally easily inhibited. The base material is subjected to nitriding treatment by heating and holding in an atmosphere containing a nitrogen source gas. By this nitriding treatment, nitrogen atoms are diffused and penetrated to the surface of the base material activated by the halogenation treatment. Thereafter, the nitrided base material is subjected to chromizing treatment in which the nitrided base material is present in a powder containing a metal chromium powder and is heated and held at a temperature of 850 to 1200 ℃. By this chromizing treatment, chromium atoms diffuse and penetrate to the surface layer portion diffused and penetrated with nitrogen atoms, and a surface-modified layer is formed.
Fig. 5(a) and 5(b) show the distribution of elements in the surface modified layer formed in the example. In the measurement, the concentration distribution of the cross section of the material was measured by EPMA (electron probe X-ray microanalysis).
Fig. 5(a) shows a surface-modified layer formed by applying a fluorination treatment, a soft-nitriding treatment, and a chromizing treatment to an SUS304 base material. The soft nitriding treatment was carried out at 570 ℃ for 2 hours.
Fig. 5(b) shows a surface modified layer formed by applying a fluorination treatment, a nitriding treatment, and a chromizing treatment to an SUS304 base material. Nitriding treatment was conducted at 570 ℃ for 30 minutes.
Both layers can be formed with a high Cr and N concentration and a low Fe concentration at a thickness of about 50 μm on the front surface side. Which can be considered as a chromium nitride layer. In this chromium nitride layer, about 82 wt.% chromium and about 11 wt.% nitrogen can be identified as Cr2And N is added. Further, a layer having a low nitrogen concentration and a high Fe and Cr concentration can be formed in a thickness of about 60 μm below the layer. This can be considered as a chromium-densified layer in which chromium is diffused and infiltrated in the base material.
Patent document 2 describes forming an intermediate layer composed of a carbide complex of an element to be coated and iron of a base material when forming a carbide coating layer on an iron-based base material, so as to prevent the coating layer from cracking due to a difference in thermal expansion coefficient between the base material and the coating layer.
Patent document 2 describes the following.
Taking a Cr coating as an example, a sliding member according to the present invention is characterized in that a chromium carbide layer is coated on a steel member via an intermediate layer composed of a composite carbide (Fe, Cr) C of iron and chromium. This layer structure is shown in fig. 1 (a). … … shown in FIG. 1(a) can prevent film cracking.
The present invention is also a method for manufacturing a sliding member in which a chromium carbide layer is coated on a steel part through an intermediate layer made of a composite carbide (Fe, Cr) C of iron and chromium by diffusion infiltration treatment, and the method includes the steps ofCharacterized in that the steel structure contains cementite in advance, and the diffusion and permeation treatment is carried out in an austenite + cementite area on a Fe-C phase diagram. If the structure of the surface of the steel member is in the austenite + cementite state, Fe is present in the austenite + cementite region3C is stably present, and therefore, Cr is supplied from the outside to react with Fe3The reaction of C can reliably produce an intermediate layer of (Fe, Cr) C as shown in FIG. 1 on the surface of the steel member.
Disclosure of Invention
Problems to be solved by the invention
In the metal product obtained by the technique of patent document 1, an austenitic metal is subjected to nitriding treatment and then chromizing treatment. Thereby forming Cr of the surface layer2N layer and chromium-densified layer inside the N layer. The parent material exists further inside.
The above Cr2The N layer is a ceramic with a small coefficient of thermal expansion of 9X 10-6V. C. The thermal expansion coefficient of the austenite base material existing at the innermost portion is 17X 10-6V. C if it is in combination with Cr as defined above2The N layer ratio is about 2 times. In addition, nitrogen is substantially absent in the chromium-enriched layer. Therefore, the thermal expansion coefficient of the chromium-densified layer does not significantly change from that of the austenite base material. Therefore, Cr is the outermost layer2The difference in thermal expansion coefficient between the N layer and the chromium-densified layer and the base material existing as the lower layer is large and significantly differs. In such a layer structure, when used at a high temperature of 1000 ℃ or higher, for example, Cr may occur under thermal stress caused by repeated alternation of heating and cooling2Peeling and cracking of the N layer. Therefore, the available metal products have limitations in terms of usable environment and use.
The iron-based sliding member obtained by the technique of patent document 2 is subjected to diffusion infiltration treatment of Cr or the like using an iron-based material as a base material, which is a steel structure containing cementite beforehand. This results in the formation of a carbide layer on the surface layer and an intermediate layer made of a composite carbide of iron, Cr, or the like on the inside thereof. The parent material exists further inside.
In this method, the base material needs to contain cementite in advance, that is, an iron-based material containing 0.6 wt% or more of carbon. Therefore, the intermediate layer cannot be formed in a material having high corrosion resistance and containing a small amount of carbon, such as stainless steel or heat-resistant steel. Therefore, there is a problem that it is not suitable for environments and uses where corrosion resistance is also required.
The compound precipitated in the intermediate layer is carbide such as Cr-based carbide, and is more easily decomposed when heated to a high temperature than Cr-based nitride. Therefore, there is also a problem that the performance is easily deteriorated when used in a high-temperature environment.
The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and provides a metal product and a method for manufacturing the same, which have the following objects.
A metal product having a surface layer with high resistance to repeated thermal stress, heat resistance, corrosion resistance and wear resistance, and a method for producing the same are provided.
Means for solving the problems
The metal product according to invention 1 has the following configuration to achieve the above object.
The surface-modified steel sheet is provided with a base material of an iron-based metal or a nickel-based metal, and a surface-modified layer formed on the surface of the base material,
the surface modification layer includes:
a chromium compound layer present on the surface side;
a deposition layer which is present between the chromium compound layer and the base material and deposits a chromium compound in a base metal constituting the base material.
The metal product according to invention 2 has the following configuration in addition to the configuration according to invention 1.
In the deposition layer, the amount of the chromium compound deposited is increased as the chromium compound layer on the front surface side is closer.
The metal product according to invention 3 has the following structure in addition to the structure according to invention 1 or 2.
The base material is any one of stainless steel, heat-resistant steel, and nickel-based alloy having a carbon concentration of 0.6 wt% or less, and the chromium compound is chromium nitride.
In order to achieve the above object, the method for manufacturing a metal product according to invention 4 employs the following configuration.
For the base material of iron-based metal or nickel-based metal,
performing nitriding treatment by keeping and heating the base material in an atmosphere containing a nitrogen source gas,
performing a chromizing treatment in which the base metal subjected to the nitriding treatment is present in a powder containing chromium metal powder and is held by heating,
thus, a surface modification layer including the following layers is formed on the surface of the base material:
a chromium compound layer present on the surface side;
a deposition layer which is present between the chromium compound layer and the base material and deposits a chromium compound in a base metal constituting the base material.
The method for producing a metal product according to invention 5 employs the following configuration in addition to the configuration described in invention 4.
In the nitriding treatment, a nitrided layer having a thickness of at least 1.5 times or more the thickness of the chromium compound layer included in the surface modified layer to be finally formed is formed.
The method for producing a metal product according to invention 6 employs the following configuration in addition to the configuration described in invention 5.
The chromizing treatment is performed for a time period for the nitrided layer formed in the nitriding treatment to have a predetermined thickness.
Effects of the invention
The metal product according to invention 1 includes a base material of an iron-based metal or a nickel-based metal, and a surface-modified layer formed on a surface of the base material. The surface-modified layer includes a chromium compound layer present on the surface side and a precipitation layer present between the chromium compound layer and the base material. In other words, a precipitation layer is present between the chromium compound layer, which is a hard ceramic layer, and the base material, which is an iron-based or nickel-based metal. The deposition layer is formed by depositing a chromium compound in the base metal constituting the base material.
Therefore, the thermal expansion coefficient of each layer becomes larger from the surface to the depth in the order of chromium compound layer < precipitation layer < base material. Therefore, the difference in thermal expansion coefficient between the respective layers is smaller than in the conventional art in which the thermal expansion coefficient is greatly different between the chromium compound layer on the surface and the chromium-thickened layer and the base material. Thus, the surface layer has higher resistance to repeated thermal stress than conventional ones, and can maintain the characteristics of heat resistance, corrosion resistance and abrasion resistance of the surface layer. The environment and the application range of the product can be more extensive than before.
In the metal product according to invention 2, the precipitation amount of the chromium compound is larger in the chromium compound layer on the surface side of the precipitation layer.
Thus, the thermal expansion coefficient of the precipitation layer increases from the surface to the depth. Therefore, the thermal expansion coefficient continuously changes from the chromium compound layer on the surface side toward the base material in a non-stepwise manner. Thus, the surface layer has higher resistance to repeated thermal stress than conventional ones, and can maintain the characteristics of heat resistance, corrosion resistance and abrasion resistance of the surface layer. The environment and the application range of the product can be more extensive than before.
The metal product according to invention 3, wherein the base material is any one of stainless steel, heat-resistant steel and nickel-based alloy having a carbon concentration of 0.6 wt% or less.
With respect to such a base material, a metal product having excellent characteristics can be obtained by forming a surface modification layer including 2 layers of a chromium compound layer and a precipitation layer. Stainless steel, heat-resistant steel, and nickel-based alloy having a carbon concentration of 0.6 wt% or less do not include carbon having a high concentration such as cementite in the base metal. Therefore, when only the diffusion and infiltration treatment of chromium is performed, the carbide layer of the surface layer and the intermediate layer made of a composite carbide of iron, Cr, or the like cannot be formed. For example, a deposition layer in which chromium nitride is deposited in the base metal can be formed by performing nitriding treatment to diffuse and permeate nitrogen atoms and then performing chromium diffusion treatment to form a chromium nitride layer as a chromium compound layer on the surface and to alleviate a difference in coefficient of thermal expansion between the chromium nitride layer and the base metal.
The metal product has extremely high hardness, excellent heat resistance and corrosion resistance, and excellent performance in environments such as high-temperature oxidation, high-temperature corrosion, erosion, cavitation and the like. The metal product exhibits excellent performance even in an acid or alkali environment or a neutral environment, and also in a corrosive environment such as a chloride of seawater. The metal product can be applied to a part requiring heat resistance and wear resistance in a turbocharger, for example, if the metal product is an automobile part. In addition, for example, in a die for die casting of aluminum, magnesium, zinc, or the like, melting loss to the alloy can be prevented, and excellent performance can be maintained. Further, the present invention can be applied to a large number of parts such as leaf sheets, valves, and pumps in the chemical industry, thermal power generation, and alternative energy environments. In addition, the present invention can be applied to materials and parts used in corrosive environments such as acid, alkaline, neutral, and chlorides of seawater.
In the method for producing a metallic product according to invention 4, a nitriding treatment for heating and holding a base material of an iron-based metal or a nickel-based metal in an atmosphere containing a nitrogen source gas is performed, and a chromizing treatment for heating and holding the nitrided base material in a powder containing a metal chromium powder is performed. Thereby, a surface-modified layer is formed on the surface of the base material. The surface modification layer includes: a chromium compound layer present on the surface side; a deposition layer existing between the chromium compound layer and the base material. The precipitation layer is configured such that a chromium compound is precipitated in a base metal constituting the base material.
Therefore, the thermal expansion coefficient of each layer is chromium compound layer < precipitation layer < base material, and becomes larger from the surface to the depth. Therefore, the difference in thermal expansion coefficient between the respective layers is smaller than in the conventional technique in which the thermal expansion coefficient is greatly different between the chromium compound layer on the surface and the chromium-densified layer and the base material. Thus, the surface layer has higher resistance to repeated thermal stress than conventional ones, and can maintain the characteristics of heat resistance, corrosion resistance and abrasion resistance of the surface layer. The environment and the application of the device can be more extensive than the prior art.
The method for producing a metal product according to invention 5 is a method for producing a nitrided layer having a thickness of at least 1.5 times or more the thickness of the chromium compound layer included in the surface-modified layer to be finally formed, by the nitriding treatment.
This enables the deposition layer to be formed reliably.
The method for manufacturing a metal product according to invention 6, wherein the nitriding layer formed by the nitriding treatment is subjected to the chromizing treatment for a predetermined time.
This enables the deposition layer to be formed reliably.

Detailed Description
Next, a mode for carrying out the present invention will be described.
Original Commission of exploitation
Surface Cr2The N layer is a ceramic layer, the chromium-densified layer and the base material inside the N layer are alloy layers, and the difference in thermal expansion coefficient is a problem at the interface between the ceramic layer and the alloy layer. In other words, in Cr2Nitrogen is not present in the chromium-enriched layer of the alloy layer present between the N layer and the base material. Therefore, the thermal expansion coefficients of the layer interfaces are deviated from each other, and the resistance to repeated thermal stress is insufficient.
Therefore, it is thought that Cr is interposed between2In the alloy layer between the N layer and the base material, a chromium compound as a ceramic is precipitated. In other words, in Cr2A thermal expansion coefficient layer of an intermediate level between the ceramic layer and the alloy layer is formed between the N layer and the base material. This alleviates the difference in thermal expansion coefficient between the layer interfaces, thereby solving the problem.
In addition, as the chromium compound, it is preferable to precipitate chromium nitride instead of carbide such as chromium carbide. This is because nitrides have a higher decomposition temperature than carbides, and are less likely to decompose even at high temperatures during heating, and therefore, when used in a high-temperature environment, the performance of mitigating the thermal expansion coefficient deviation of the precipitation layer is not deteriorated, but is effective.
Fig. 1 is a schematic view illustrating the difference between the above-described conventional product and the present invention. (A) Is an existing product, and (B) is the invention of the application.
As shown in FIG. 1(A), Cr is contained in the conventional products2The coefficient of thermal expansion of the N layer is very different from that of the chromium densified layer (high chromium alloy layer). Nitrogen is not present in the chromium-densified layer of the alloy layer, and a difference in thermal expansion coefficient occurs at the layer interface.
As shown in FIG. 1(B), in the present invention, nitrogen is present in the precipitate layer and Cr is removed from the precipitate layer2N layer via precipitation layer (Cr)2N precipitation layer) toward the base material, the thermal expansion coefficient gradually changes. The deviation of the thermal expansion coefficient at the layer interface is alleviated.
In the graph of the thermal expansion coefficient in fig. 1, the thermal expansion coefficient increases below the vertical axis.
Metal product
The metal product of the present embodiment includes a base material of an iron-based metal or a nickel-based metal, and a surface-modified layer formed on a surface of the base material.
[ parent metal ]
The base metal constituting the base material is an iron-based metal or a nickel-based metal.
As the iron-based metal, various iron and steel materials and iron-based alloys can be used. As the iron-steel material and the iron-based alloy, for example, various steel types such as carbon steel, alloy steel, nickel-chromium-molybdenum steel, chromium-molybdenum steel, manganese steel, tool steel, stainless steel, heat-resistant steel, nitriding steel, case-hardened steel, and the like can be applied.
As the nickel-based metal, a nickel-based alloy can be used. As the nickel-based alloy, for example, an alloy having a nickel content of 50 wt% or more can be used. Specifically, nickel-copper (Monel), nickel-chromium (inconel), and nickel-molybdenum (Hastelloy) are used.
As the base metal, any of stainless steel, heat-resistant steel, and nickel-based alloy having a carbon concentration of 0.6 wt% or less is particularly preferably used. For example, the following can be suitably used: ferritic stainless steel such as SUS410L and SUS 430; martensitic stainless steels such as SUS410 and SUS420J 2; duplex stainless steels such as SUS821L1, SUS323L, SUS329J31, SUS329J3L, SUS329J4L, and SUS327L 1; austenitic stainless steels such as SUS304, SUS316, and SUS310S, and ferritic heat-resistant steels such as SUH21 and SUH 409; martensitic heat-resistant steels such as SUH3 and SUH 11; austenitic heat-resistant steels such as SUH35 and SUH 660; heat-resistant cast steel such as SCH21 and SCH 22; nickel-based ALLOYs such as ALLOY625 and ALLOY 800H.
In such a stainless steel, a heat-resistant steel, and a nickel-based alloy having high corrosion resistance, which do not include cementite in the base metal, a chromium nitride layer is formed as a chromium compound layer on the surface by, for example, nitriding to diffuse and infiltrate nitrogen atoms and then diffusion and infiltration of chromium, and a difference in thermal expansion coefficient between the chromium nitride layer and the base metal is alleviated, so that a deposition layer in which chromium nitride is deposited in the base metal can be formed.
[ surface-modified layer ]
The surface-modified layer includes a chromium compound layer present on the surface side and a precipitation layer present between the chromium compound layer and the base material.
The surface-modified layer can be formed on the surface of the base material by nitriding and chromizing the base material, as will be described later. In this case, the halogenation treatment is carried out before the nitriding treatment as necessary.
[ chromium compound layer ]
The chromium compound layer is formed by combining nitrogen atoms of a nitrided layer formed on the surface of the base metal by the nitriding treatment and chromium atoms infiltrated into the nitrided layer by the nitriding treatment. The nitrided layer is an iron nitride layer on the surface and a nitrogen diffused layer in the depth thereof. The iron nitride layer on the surface may not be formed depending on conditions such as nitriding treatment.
The chromium compound constituting the chromium compound layer is preferably Cr2And N is added. The chromium compound layer can be formed to a thickness of about 5 to 50 μm from the viewpoint of performance and economy.
[ precipitation layer ]
The deposition layer is formed by depositing a chromium compound in the base metal constituting the base material.
The precipitate layer is formed as follows: in the nitrogen diffusion layer in which nitrogen atoms are diffused into the base metal by the nitriding treatment, chromium atoms are infiltrated by the chromizing treatment. In other words, the chromium atoms penetrating deeper than the chromium compound layer form a chromium compound with the nitrogen atoms present in the nitrogen diffusion layer and precipitate. Since the nitrogen atom concentration in the nitrogen diffusion layer is low on the deeper side of the surface, the chromium compound does not form a layer as in the case of the chromium compound layer, and a particulate chromium compound is precipitated.
By providing the precipitation layer between the chromium compound layer and the base material, the thermal expansion coefficient of each layer is made larger from the surface to the depth in the order of chromium compound layer < precipitation layer < base material. Therefore, the difference in thermal expansion coefficient between the layers becomes small. This increases the resistance of the surface layer to repeated thermal stress.
The precipitation layer is preferably such that the precipitation amount of the chromium compound is larger as the chromium compound layer on the front surface side is closer. In other words, the precipitation layer preferably has a smaller precipitation amount of the chromium compound as the base material is located deeper.
The chromium compound is not a carbide such as chromium carbide, but is preferably chromium nitride. This is because nitrides have a higher decomposition temperature than carbides, and are less likely to decompose even at high temperatures during heating, and therefore, when used in a high-temperature environment, the performance of mitigating the difference in the thermal expansion coefficient of the precipitation layer is less likely to deteriorate.
In other words, the precipitation layer preferably has a higher nitrogen concentration closer to the chromium compound layer on the front surface side and a lower nitrogen concentration closer to the base material in the deep part. Thus, the thermal expansion coefficient of the precipitation layer gradually increases from the surface to the depth. Therefore, the thermal expansion coefficient between the layers gradually increases from the chromium compound layer on the surface to the base material at a deep position. Thereby, the surface layer is more resistant to repeated thermal stresses. In other words, by absorbing the strain generated by the thermal stress, peeling and cracking can be prevented.
The deposited layer may have a thickness of about 5 to 100 μm in a portion having a nitrogen concentration of 5 atomic% or more from the viewpoint of performance and economy. A more preferable range of the thickness of the deposition layer is 8 to 50 μm. The intention is not to form a chromium compound layer (Cr) on the surface by making nitrogen permeated by nitriding treatment not penetrate2N layer) is completely consumed, and the remaining nitrogen concentration is 5 atomic% or more in the portion as the deposition layer. As a result, nitrogen combines with Cr whose concentration decreases toward the inside, and Cr whose precipitation amount decreases toward the inside is formed2And N, forming the precipitation layer of the invention. In such a precipitation layer, the hardness gradually decreases toward the inside.
[ Effect of the embodiment ]
The metal product of the above embodiment exhibits the following effects.
The metal product of the present embodiment includes a base material of an iron-based metal or a nickel-based metal, and a surface-modified layer formed on a surface of the base material. The surface-modified layer includes a chromium compound layer present on the surface side and a precipitation layer present between the chromium compound layer and the base material. In other words, a precipitation layer is present between the chromium compound layer, which is a hard ceramic layer, and the base material, which is an iron-based or nickel-based metal. The precipitation layer is formed by precipitating a chromium compound in a base metal constituting the base material.
Therefore, the thermal expansion coefficient of each layer is chromium compound layer < precipitation layer < base material, and becomes larger from the surface to the depth. Therefore, the difference in thermal expansion coefficient between the respective layers is smaller than in the conventional technique in which the thermal expansion coefficient is greatly different between the chromium compound layer on the surface and the chromium-densified layer and the base material. Thus, the surface layer has higher resistance to repeated thermal stress than conventional ones, and the properties of heat resistance, corrosion resistance and abrasion resistance possessed by the surface layer can be maintained. The environment and the application range of the product can be more extensive than before.
In the metal product of the present embodiment, the precipitation amount of the chromium compound is larger as the precipitation layer is closer to the chromium compound layer on the front surface side.
Thus, the thermal expansion coefficient of the precipitation layer increases from the surface to the depth. Therefore, the thermal expansion coefficient continuously changes from the chromium compound layer on the surface side to the base material in a non-stepwise manner. Thus, the surface layer has higher resistance to repeated thermal stress than conventional ones, and can maintain the characteristics of heat resistance, corrosion resistance and abrasion resistance of the surface layer. The environment and the application range of the product can be more extensive than before.
In the metal product of the present embodiment, the base material is any one of stainless steel, heat-resistant steel, and nickel-based alloy having a carbon concentration of 0.6 wt% or less.
By forming a surface modification layer including 2 layers of a chromium compound layer and a precipitation layer on such a base material, a metal product having excellent characteristics can be obtained. Stainless steel, heat-resistant steel, and nickel-based alloy having a carbon concentration of 0.6 wt% or less do not include carbon having a high concentration such as cementite in the base metal. Therefore, the carbide layer of the surface layer and the intermediate layer made of a composite carbide of iron, Cr, or the like on the inner side cannot be formed merely by performing diffusion infiltration treatment of chromium. For example, a deposition layer in which chromium nitride is deposited in the base metal can be formed by performing nitriding treatment to diffuse and permeate nitrogen atoms and then performing chromium diffusion treatment to form a chromium nitride layer as a chromium compound layer on the surface and to alleviate the difference in coefficient of thermal expansion between the chromium compound layer and the base metal.
The metal product has extremely high hardness, excellent heat resistance and corrosion resistance, and excellent performance in environments such as high-temperature oxidation, high-temperature corrosion, erosion, cavitation and the like. The metal product exhibits excellent performance even in an acid or alkali environment, a neutral environment, and a corrosive environment such as a chloride of seawater. The metal product can be applied to a part requiring heat resistance and wear resistance in a turbocharger, for example, if the metal product is an automobile part. In addition, for example, in a die for die casting of aluminum, magnesium, zinc, or the like, melting loss to the alloy can be prevented, and excellent performance can be maintained. Further, the present invention can be applied to a large number of parts such as leaf sheets, valves, and pumps in the chemical industry, thermal power generation, and alternative energy environments. In addition, the present invention can be applied to materials and parts used in corrosive environments such as acid, alkaline, neutral, and chlorides of seawater.
Method for producing metal product
In the method for manufacturing a metal product according to the present embodiment, a base material of an iron-based metal or a nickel-based metal is nitrided and chromized.
The nitriding treatment is performed by heating and holding the base material in an atmosphere containing a nitrogen source gas.
The chromizing treatment is performed by heating and holding the base metal subjected to the nitriding treatment in a powder containing the metal chromium powder.
In the method for producing a metal product according to the present embodiment, the nitriding treatment may be preceded by a halogenation treatment.
[ halogenation treatment ]
The halogenation treatment is performed by heating and holding the base material in an atmosphere gas containing halogen by using a heating furnace capable of controlling the atmosphere.
As the halogen used for the above-mentioned atmosphere gas, for example, F can be used2、Cl2、HCl、NF3And the like halogen gas or halide gas.
The atmosphere gas may be a mixed gas containing 0.5 to 20 vol% of halogen and the balance of nitrogen, hydrogen, an inert gas, or the like.
The halogenation treatment is carried out by heating the base material at 200 to 550 ℃ for about 10 minutes to 3 hours in the atmosphere gas to activate the surface.
[ nitriding treatment ]
The nitriding treatment is performed by heating and holding the halogenated base material in an atmosphere containing a nitrogen source gas, if necessary.
As the nitriding treatment, any of gas nitriding treatment, gas soft nitriding treatment, salt bath soft nitriding treatment, vacuum nitriding treatment, and ion nitriding (plasma nitriding) treatment can be applied.
The gas nitriding or gas soft nitriding can be carried out in a nitriding or soft nitriding atmosphere, i.e., NH3As a nitrogen source, and if necessary, N2、CO、CO2、H2And the base material after the halogenation treatment is heated and held in a mixed atmosphere.
The salt bath nitriding can be performed by heating and holding the base material in a salt bath containing cyanide or cyanic acid as a main component.
Ion nitriding (plasma nitriding) is performed by applying a dc voltage of several hundred volts to a workpiece as a cathode in a nitrogen mixed gas atmosphere of 0.1 to 10Pa to generate glow discharge, accelerating ionized gas components to a high speed, colliding the ionized gas components with the surface of the workpiece, heating the workpiece, and nitriding the workpiece by sputtering or the like.
The heating temperature and the holding time can be appropriately determined according to the nitriding method to be used and the properties of the target surface-modified layer. For example, the heating is carried out at a predetermined temperature in the range of 350 to 900 ℃ (preferably 350 to 650 ℃) and for a predetermined time.
By the nitriding treatment, a nitrogen diffusion layer having a high nitrogen concentration is formed on the surface layer portion of the base material. Thereafter, by performing the chromizing treatment, the chromium atoms diffused and permeated by the chromizing treatment are bonded to the nitrogen atoms existing in the nitrogen diffusion layer, and a chromium nitride layer is generated as a chromium compound layer.
When soft nitriding is performed as the nitriding treatment, a carbon-nitrogen diffusion layer having high nitrogen concentration and carbon concentration is formed on the surface layer portion of the base material. Thereafter, by performing the chromizing treatment, the chromium atoms diffused and permeated by the chromizing treatment are bonded to the nitrogen atoms and the carbon atoms existing in the carbon-nitrogen diffusion layer, and a chromium carbonitride layer is generated as a chromium compound layer.
In the method for modifying a metal surface according to the present embodiment, it is preferable that a diffusion layer in which nitrogen is diffused is formed by the nitriding treatment so that the nitrogen concentration is 10 atomic% or more and the thickness is 5 μm or more.
After the nitriding treatment, a treatment for normalizing the surface can be performed as necessary before the chromizing treatment. As the normalization process, for example, a process such as shot peening or barrel polishing can be employed.
The nitriding treatment is performed as follows: the chromium compound layer (Cr) contained in the finally formed surface-modified layer is formed2N layer) of at least 1.5 times or more the thickness of the nitride layer (compound layer + diffusion layer).
[ chromizing treatment ]
The chromizing treatment is a process of heating and holding the nitrided base metal in a powder containing a metal chromium powder. By the chromizing treatment, chromium atoms can be diffused and penetrated from the surface of the base material subjected to the nitriding treatment.
The chromizing treatment is performed for a time period until the nitrided layer (compound layer + diffusion layer) formed by the nitriding treatment reaches a predetermined thickness.
This enables the formation of Cr2The inside of the N layer has a precipitation layer having an inclined concentration gradient of N and Cr.
The chromizing treatment can be performed by a powder embedding method. The powder embedding method is performed as follows: a base material in which nitriding treatment is completed is embedded in a treatment agent powder filled in a heat-resistant container, and the heat-resistant container is placed in an atmosphere furnace and heated and held while a gas for promoting a reaction is circulated. By doing so, the following processing is performed: chromium atoms are diffused and penetrated from the surface of the base material subjected to the nitriding treatment.
As the treating agent powder, a powder containing metallic chromium or iron-chromium alloy, and Al for preventing sintering can be used2O3Powder and trace amount of NH added for promoting reaction4Cl or NH4F, powder agent.
As the gas for promoting the reaction, H can be used2Or Ar.
The heating is maintained at a predetermined temperature in the range of 850 to 1200 ℃ (preferably 900 to 1200 ℃) for a predetermined time. By doing so, chromium atoms are diffused and penetrated from the surface of the base material subjected to the nitriding treatment, and a surface modified layer is formed.
[ surface-modified layer ]
In the method for manufacturing a metal product according to the present embodiment, a surface-modified layer is formed on the surface of the base material by nitriding and chromizing the base material.
The surface-modified layer includes, as described above, a chromium compound layer present on the surface side and a precipitation layer present between the chromium compound layer and the base material. The precipitation layer is formed by precipitating a chromium compound in a base metal constituting the base material.
The chromium compound forming the chromium compound layer is preferably Cr2And N is added. Here, Cr2The inner precipitate layer of the N layer can be in other words Cr2N layers of oblique tissue. Such a precipitation layer can form Cr in a layer form in a thermodynamic state without reaching a nitrogen concentration2The degree of N. However, to make Cr2Nitrogen concentration to the extent that N is partially precipitated. Further, as the nitrogen concentration decreases, Cr is more concentrated2The amount of N deposited decreases. Moreover, Cr cannot be precipitated in the end2Nitrogen concentration of N. Thus, the precipitation layer becomes Cr2An inclined N precipitate layer. In addition, the above Cr2Since N has a higher decomposition temperature than carbide and is hardly decomposed even at high temperature during heating, the performance of mitigating the thermal expansion coefficient deviation of the precipitation layer is hardly deteriorated when used in a high-temperature environment.
[ Effect of the embodiment ]
The method for manufacturing a metal product according to the above embodiment exhibits the following effects.
In the method for manufacturing a metal product according to the present embodiment, a nitriding treatment for heating and holding a base material, which is an iron-based metal or a nickel-based metal, in an atmosphere containing a nitrogen-containing source gas is performed, and a chromizing treatment for heating and holding a base material subjected to the nitriding treatment in a powder containing a metal chromium powder is performed. Thereby, a surface modification layer is formed on the surface of the base material. The surface-modified layer includes a chromium compound layer present on the surface side and a precipitation layer present between the chromium compound layer and the base material. The precipitation layer is formed by precipitating a chromium compound in a base metal constituting the base material.
Therefore, the thermal expansion coefficient of each layer is chromium compound layer < precipitation layer < base material, and becomes larger from the surface to the depth. Therefore, the difference in thermal expansion coefficient between the layers is smaller than in the conventional art in which the thermal expansion coefficient of the chromium compound layer on the surface is greatly different from that of the chromium-densified layer and the base material. Thus, the surface layer has higher resistance to repeated thermal stress than conventional ones, and can maintain the characteristics of heat resistance, corrosion resistance and abrasion resistance of the surface layer. The environment and the application range of the product can be more extensive than before.
Examples
Hereinafter, examples will be described together with comparative examples.

The layers are formed with high Cr and N concentrations and low Fe concentrations at a thickness of about 10 to 20 μm on the surface side. This can be seen as a chromium nitride layer. The chromium nitride layer was about 80% by weight of chromium and about 10% by weight of nitrogen in the measurement of the weight concentration ratio in FIG. 2 (A). Also in the measurement of the atomic number concentration ratio in fig. 2(B), chromium was about 60 atomic% and nitrogen was about 30 atomic%. Thus, it can be identified as Cr2And N is added. Further, a layer having a high concentration of Fe and Cr is formed in a thickness of about 10 to 60 μm below the layer. This is a chromium-densified layer in which chromium diffuses and penetrates into the base material. The surface of FIG. 2(A) indicates the positions where Cr and N rise.
In comparative example 1, Cr is present2Nitrogen was not detected in the high Cr concentration layer below the N layer, and nitrogen was substantially absent.
In example 1, Cr is added2Below the N layer, there is a layer of a gradient composition in which the Cr concentration and the N concentration gradually decrease. The layer of the inclined composition is the precipitate layer of the present invention.
Fig. 3(a) is a sectional photomicrograph of the surface layer portion of comparative example 1.
Fig. 3(B) is a sectional photomicrograph of the surface layer portion of example 1.
Comparative example 1 Cr on the surface was clearly observed2The interface of the N layer, the high Cr diffusion layer and the base material.
In example 1, Cr2The interface between the N layer and the underlying precipitate layer and the base material was not clearly observed as compared with comparative example 1.
Fig. 4 is a result of measuring the sectional hardness of comparative example 1 and example 1.
In comparative example 1, the hardness was as high as MHv1500 or more at about 10 μm from the surface, but the hardness was drastically reduced to about MHv500 or less at a depth of 20 μm and beyond from the surface. This part is substantially free of nitrogen and substantially free of Cr2And (4) precipitating N.
In example 1, there was a layer having a high hardness of about 20 μm from the surface, and a hardness gradient layer in which the hardness gradually decreased from about MHv1400 to about MHv500 or less toward the base material side was formed. In other words, a chromium compound layer having a hardness of a chromium compound layer is formed at about 20 μm from the surface, a portion having a depth of about 50 μm or more from the surface is a base material layer having a hardness of a base material, and a hardness gradient layer having a gradually decreasing hardness is formed between the chromium compound layer and the base material layer.
In the hardness-graded layer, the chromium concentration and the nitrogen concentration are gradually decreased. At least 5 atomic% or more of nitrogen atoms are combined with chromium by chromizing treatment at 850 ℃ or higher to form Cr2And N is added. Therefore, in Cr2Under the N layer, a layer in which the chromium concentration and the nitrogen concentration gradually decrease is formed. The layer being Cr2N is dispersed and precipitated, and the amount of N precipitated gradually decreases toward the base material side.
Next, the surfaces of comparative example 1 and example 1 were subjected to shot blasting (glass frit: 0.4MPa), thereby performing an impact force test.
Fig. 5(a) is an appearance observation photograph of comparative example 1 after shot blasting for 10 seconds.
FIG. 5(B) is an appearance observation photograph of example 1 after shot blasting was performed for 30 seconds.
In the surface of comparative example 1, a large number of peelings occurred due to the impact of the shot peening in the portions indicated by several arrows as an example.
Such peeling, cracking, and the like did not occur on the surface of example 1.
Further, a test was performed in which heating and cooling from 1000 ℃ to room temperature were repeated 100 times.
Fig. 6(a) is an appearance observation photograph of comparative example 1.
Fig. 6(B) is an appearance observation photograph of example 1.
In addition to a large amount of separation, cracks were generated in the portion surrounded by the circular shape in the surface of comparative example 1 in the portions indicated by several arrows as an example.
Such peeling, cracking, and the like did not occur on the surface of example 1.
[ example 2 ]
As example 2, a duplex stainless steel SUS329J4L was used as a base material, and fluorination treatment, nitriding treatment, and chromizing treatment were performed under the following conditions.
Very good fluorination treatment
Atmosphere: fluorine-based gas (NF)3:10vol%+N2:90vol%)
Temperature: 400 deg.C
Time: 60 minutes

Atmosphere: NH (NH)3:H2:N2=30:20:50
Temperature: 590 deg.C
Time: 20 hours
Chromizing very good
Treating agent: metal Cr particles or Fe-Cr alloy particles + Al for preventing sintering2O3+ small amount of NH for promoting the reaction4Cl
Airflow: hydrogen or argon
Temperature: 1050 deg.C
Time: 5 hours
FIG. 7 is a photomicrograph of a cross-section of the surface layer portion of example 2.
Example 2 also the N concentration is at Cr2The inner side of the N layer rises and the austenite is stableAfter the quantification, no σ layer was observed.
FIG. 8 is a diagram showing the element distribution of the surface-modified layer of example 2.
Example 2 also clearly confirmed that Cr was added2The N layer is formed with a sloped composition region on the inner side.
In the case of a duplex stainless steel such as SUS329J4L, the conventional treatment technique involves Cr in the surface layer2The sigma layer is precipitated in the high Cr alloy layer inside the N layer. Therefore, in Cr2When the N layer is peeled off, there is a risk that the corrosion resistance may be deteriorated.
In example 2, it is found that the duplex stainless steel of SUS329J4L has a structure in which the σ phase is suppressed from being precipitated and the separation is hardly caused.
FIG. 9 is a photograph showing the appearance of the steel sheet obtained in example 2 after the shot peening test (glass frit: 0.4 MPa. times.30 seconds) was performed.
Fig. 10 is a photograph showing the appearance of example 2 after the test in which heating and cooling from 1000 ℃ to room temperature were repeated 100 times.
In this case, peeling, cracking, and the like do not occur.
The treatment conditions, the thicknesses of the respective treatment layers, and the presence or absence of peeling or cracking of the examples 1 to 8 and comparative examples 1 to 4 are shown in the following table 1. The atmosphere for the fluorination treatment is a fluorine-based gas (NF)3:10vol%+N2: 90 vol%) of NH as regards the atmosphere of the nitriding treatment3:H2:N2Comparative example is NH at 30:20:503:N2=50:50。

Not the precipitated layer of the present invention, but the thickness of MHv 500-1400 is specified based on the cross-sectional hardness measurement
With respect to the thickness of the precipitated layer shown in Table 1, Cr is present in the invention2The interface between the N layer and the underlying precipitate layer and the base material is unclear, but Cr2The hardness of the N layer is MHv1400 so as toIn addition, Cr is dispersed and precipitated in a region of MHv1400 or less and MHv500 or more2N increases the hardness to form a hardness gradient layer, and therefore the thickness of MHv500 to 1400 is specified from the results of the cross-sectional hardness measurement and expressed as the deposition layer thickness. In the comparative examples, the deposition layer of the present invention was not present, but the thickness of MHv 500-1400 was specified and expressed from the results of the sectional hardness measurement.
In examples 1 to 8, as shown in Table 1, the thickness of the nitrided layer (compound layer + diffused layer) formed by the nitriding treatment was the chromium compound layer (Cr) included in the surface-modified layer to be finally formed2N layer) of at least 1.5 times the thickness of the substrate. On the other hand, in comparative examples 1 to 4, the nitrided layer formed by the nitriding treatment was the chromium compound layer (Cr) finally formed2N layer) of 1.5 times or less.
Summarize
By mixing Cr2The inclined composition of N is set in Cr2Between the N layer and the base material, as shown in FIG. 1, Cr is absorbed2The difference in thermal expansion coefficient between the interface of the N layer and the base material reduces the thermal stress generated.
As described above, the treatment according to the present application significantly improves the resistance to peeling and cracking due to thermal stress and impact force.
