Definitions
- the invention relates to a muffle for furnaces operating in a continuous or impact process for the heat treatment of materials under protective gas with an elongated, heat-resistant jacket provided with an opening at least at one end.
- the material to be subjected to heat treatment under protective gas can e.g. B. be continuously moved through the muffle by means of a conveyor belt.
- a muffle open at both ends is required for this.
- the conveyor belt lies on the bottom of the muffle, or it is guided by an intermediate layer provided in the muffle.
- muffles can also be used in burst operation, the material to be treated being introduced into the muffle from one end in steel or graphite glow boxes or on ceramic pusher plates and removed to the other end after the required treatment time.
- These molds can also be used in chamber furnaces with only one opening.
- Muffles are already known which are cast from heat-resistant metal alloys or made from corresponding metal sheets. Since such muffles are subjected to temperatures of up to approximately 1150 ° C., the durability of such metal muffles is limited. Such muffles have the advantage, however, that they can be made gas-tight with the exception of the ends required for introducing or discharging the material to be treated.
- Muffles made of ceramic material are also known. Such a material withstands the thermal stress that occurs much better than a metallic muffle.
- it is disadvantageous for a muffle made of ceramic material that it cannot be made gas-tight, in particular not if it is e.g. B. must be assembled from several parts due to the required dimensions, so that transverse to the longitudinal direction or other joints result.
- the object of the present invention is to create a muffle of the type mentioned at the outset, which combines the advantageous features of the metal muffle with those of the muffle made of ceramic material.
- the invention provides that the jacket has an inner body made of ceramic material, which is enclosed by a shell made of sheet steel.
- the high heat resistance of ceramic material for the inner body is combined with the gas tightness of steel sheet in an advantageous manner, so that a muffle results which is characterized by long durability and high gas tightness. Only a small wall thickness is required for the sheet steel jacket.
- the muffle can be designed such that the shell surrounding the inner body is welded in a gas-tight manner.
- the muffle can be designed such that the inner body is composed of pieces that follow one another in the axial direction. According to this proposal, muffle constructions of almost any length can be realized without further notice.
- the muffle can be designed so that the inner body consists of one piece in its cross section. Such a structure of the muffle is particularly indicated when its width is relatively small.
- the muffle can be designed such that the cross section of the inner body is composed of at least two pieces.
- Such a design means that the inner body can be assembled from simple ceramic elements even with a relatively wide muffle, without the course and number of joints being able to impair the gas-tightness of the entire muffle.
- the continuous furnace 1 shown in FIG. 1 has a heating chamber 2.
- a muffle 3 is arranged in this heating chamber, which has a flat tubular cross section. It has a horizontal bottom surface 4, which is adjoined on both sides by substantially perpendicular upward side walls 5. These in turn are followed by slightly roof-shaped sloping ceiling walls 6.
- the muffle 3 shown in Fig. 2 has an inner body 7, which consists of ceramic material.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Muffel für im Durchlauf- oder Stoßverfahren arbeitende Öfen zur Wärmebehandlung von Materialien unter Schutzgas mit einem gestreckten, mindestens an einem Ende mit einer Öffnung versehenen hitzebeständigen Mantel.The invention relates to a muffle for furnaces operating in a continuous or impact process for the heat treatment of materials under protective gas with an elongated, heat-resistant jacket provided with an opening at least at one end.
Das unter Schutzgas einer Wärmebehandlung zu unterziehende Gut kann z. B. mittels eines Förderbandes kontinuierlich durch die Muffel hindurchbewegt werden. Hierfür ist dann selbstverständlich eine an beiden Enden offene Muffel erforderlich. Das Förderband liegt dabei auf dem Boden der Muffel auf, oder aber es wird von einer in der Muffel vorgesehenen Zwischenlage geführt. Muffeln können aber auch im Stoßbetrieb eingesetzt werden, wobei das zu behandelnde Gut von dem einen Ende her in Glühkästen aus Stahl oder Graphit oder auf keramischen Schubplatten in die Muffel eingebracht und nach der erforderlichen Behandlungszeit zum anderen Ende hin entnommen wird. Ebenfalls können diese Muffeln in Kammeröfen mit nur einer Öffnung eingesetzt werden.The material to be subjected to heat treatment under protective gas can e.g. B. be continuously moved through the muffle by means of a conveyor belt. Of course, a muffle open at both ends is required for this. The conveyor belt lies on the bottom of the muffle, or it is guided by an intermediate layer provided in the muffle. However, muffles can also be used in burst operation, the material to be treated being introduced into the muffle from one end in steel or graphite glow boxes or on ceramic pusher plates and removed to the other end after the required treatment time. These molds can also be used in chamber furnaces with only one opening.
Es sind bereits Muffeln bekannt, die aus hitzebeständigen Metallegierungen gegossen oder aus entsprechenden Blechen gefertigt sind. Da derartige Muffeln Temperaturen bis zu etwa 1150° C unterworfen werden, ist die Haltbarkeit derartiger Metallmuffeln begrenzt. Derartige Muffeln haben aber den Vorteil, daß sie mit Ausnahme der zum Einbringen bzw. zum Ausbringen des zu behandelnden Gutes erforderlichen Enden gasdicht ausgeführt werden können.Muffles are already known which are cast from heat-resistant metal alloys or made from corresponding metal sheets. Since such muffles are subjected to temperatures of up to approximately 1150 ° C., the durability of such metal muffles is limited. Such muffles have the advantage, however, that they can be made gas-tight with the exception of the ends required for introducing or discharging the material to be treated.
Es sind ferner Muffeln aus keramischem Material bekannt. Ein solches Material hält der auftretenden thermischen Beanspruchung weit besser stand als eine metallische Muffel. Nachteilig ist aber für eine Muffel aus keramischem Material, daß sie nicht gasdicht ausgeführt werden kann, insbesondere dann nicht, wenn sie z. B. aufgrund der erforderlichen Abmessungen aus mehreren Teilen zusammengesetzt werden muß, so daß quer zur Längsrichtung oder anderweitig verlaufende Fugen sich ergeben.Muffles made of ceramic material are also known. Such a material withstands the thermal stress that occurs much better than a metallic muffle. However, it is disadvantageous for a muffle made of ceramic material that it cannot be made gas-tight, in particular not if it is e.g. B. must be assembled from several parts due to the required dimensions, so that transverse to the longitudinal direction or other joints result.
Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht nun darin, eine Muffel der eingangs erwähnten Art zu schaffen, welche die vorteilhaften Merkmale der Metallmuffeln mit denen der aus keramischem Material bestehenden Muffeln kombiniert.The object of the present invention is to create a muffle of the type mentioned at the outset, which combines the advantageous features of the metal muffle with those of the muffle made of ceramic material.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe sieht die Erfindung vor, daß der Mantel einen aus keramischem Material bestehenden Innenkörper aufweist, der von einer Hülle aus Stahlblech umschlossen ist.To achieve this object, the invention provides that the jacket has an inner body made of ceramic material, which is enclosed by a shell made of sheet steel.
Bei dieser Muffel wird die hohe Hitzebeständigkeit von keramischem Material für den Innenkörper mit der Gasdichtigkeit von Stahlblech in vorteilhafter Weise verbunden, so daß sich eine Muffel ergibt, die sich durch lange Haltbarkeit und hohe Gasdichtigkeit auszeichnet. Für den Mantel aus Stahlblech wird nur eine geringe Wandstärke benötigt.With this muffle, the high heat resistance of ceramic material for the inner body is combined with the gas tightness of steel sheet in an advantageous manner, so that a muffle results which is characterized by long durability and high gas tightness. Only a small wall thickness is required for the sheet steel jacket.
Gemäß einem weiteren Vorschlag der Erfindung kann die Muffel so ausgebildet sein, daß die den Innenkörper umschließende Hülle gasdicht verschweißt ist.According to a further proposal of the invention, the muffle can be designed such that the shell surrounding the inner body is welded in a gas-tight manner.
Gemäß einem weiteren Vorschlag der Erfindung kann die Muffel so ausgebildet sein, daß der Innenkörper aus in axialer Richtung aufeinanderfolgenden Stücken zusammengesetzt ist. Gemäß diesem Vorschlag lassen sich ohne weiteres Muffelkonstruktionen nahezu beliebiger Länge realisieren.According to a further proposal of the invention, the muffle can be designed such that the inner body is composed of pieces that follow one another in the axial direction. According to this proposal, muffle constructions of almost any length can be realized without further notice.
Gemäß einem weiteren Vorschlag der Erfindung kann die Muffel so ausgebildet sein, daß der Innenkörper in seinem Querschnitt aus einem Stück besteht. Ein solcher Aufbau der Muffel ist insbesondere dann angezeigt, wenn deren Breite relativ gering ist.According to a further proposal of the invention, the muffle can be designed so that the inner body consists of one piece in its cross section. Such a structure of the muffle is particularly indicated when its width is relatively small.
Gemäß einem weiteren Vorschlag der Erfindung kann die Muffel so ausgebildet sein, daß der Innenkörper in seinem Querschnitt aus mindestens zwei Stücken zusammengesetzt ist. Eine solche Ausbildung führt dazu, daß der Innenkörper auch bei relativ breiter Muffel aus einfachen keramischen Elementen zusammengefügt werden kann, ohne daß Verlauf und Anzahl der Fugen die Gasdichtigkeit der gesamten Muffel beeinträchtigen könnten.According to a further proposal of the invention, the muffle can be designed such that the cross section of the inner body is composed of at least two pieces. Such a design means that the inner body can be assembled from simple ceramic elements even with a relatively wide muffle, without the course and number of joints being able to impair the gas-tightness of the entire muffle.
