Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for cleaning metal components for cathode ray tubes.
- Such components e.g. Hole masks, mask frames and inner cones for color picture tubes are usually degreased by washing with halogenated hydrocarbons. These degreasing agents are harmful to the environment. There is also the risk that chlorine and carbon-containing residues remain on the components.
- the invention has for its object to provide a more environmentally friendly cleaning method that not only ensures complete degreasing, but also the required purity with respect to other contaminants.
- This object is achieved in that the metal components for 5 to 45 minutes, in particular 10 to 25 minutes in a continuous furnace to a temperature of 500 ° C to 800 ° C in a from 92 to 96% by volume nitrogen, 4 to 8 Vol.% Hydrogen existing atmosphere are heated, wherein in a heating phase a, an evaporation of oil from the surface of the metal components, in a middle phase b by water vapor introduced at a dew point of 25 ° C to -10 ° C, a weak oxidation of the surface and finally in phase C after the end temperature has been reached a reduction in the oxidized surface is brought about.
- the process according to the invention has the advantage that it is simple, reproducible, harmless and environmentally friendly. A number of treatment and transport steps are omitted, so that the risk of damage to the metal components is reduced.
- the method according to the invention not only is the oil on the surface of the metal components evaporated, but also any residues of organic material remaining on the metal surface are reduced.
- the components treated according to the invention are suitable for high-vacuum use.
- the method according to the invention has the advantage that no combustion residues remain on the metal surface.
- thermal degreasing has a positive effect on the physical-mechanical properties, e.g. on magnetism. This also applies to high-alloy materials, e.g. INVAR steels, the surface of which is contaminated with substances that are particularly difficult to remove. Thermal degreasing is also cheaper than chemical degreasing.
- Process steps b and c were carried out in an oxygen-free atmosphere of 94% by volume nitrogen and 6% by volume hydrogen.
- the dew point of the moisture was approximately 25 ° C. in process step b and a maximum of 0 ° C. in process step c.
- the temperature / time curve in the treatment of shadow masks and diaphragm parts is shown by a curve made of dashed lines, INVAR masks and shielding cones by a curve made of solid lines.
- the device shown in Fig. 2 consists of a continuous furnace 1, which is structurally connected to a blackening furnace 2.
- the continuous furnace can be heated with electric radiators 3.
- a gas mixture of 94% by volume nitrogen and 6% by volume hydrogen is passed through furnace 1 via a gas line 4.
- a corresponding amount of moisture is passed into the furnace 1 via a water vapor line 5.
- Chimneys 6 and 7 with shut-off elements 8 and 9 are used to set the pressure and flow rate in furnace 1.
- the oil-containing exhaust gas stream is either burned in a burner 10 or fed to the gas burners of the blackening furnace 2 via a line 11.
- the furnace 1 is heated to an operating temperature which is 530 to 580 ° C. for shadow masks and mask frames or mask diaphragms, 750 to 800 ° C. for masks made of INVAR steel and 700 to 750 ° C. for inner cones.
- the metal components corresponding to these temperatures are then passed through the furnace 1, which is indicated by an arrow 12.
- the residence time of the components in furnace 1 is of the order of 25 minutes.
- the components are then, as indicated by an arrow 13, passed through the blackening furnace 2, which is equipped with gas discharge lines 14 and 15 with shut-off members 16 and 17 and with gas burners 18.
