Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for boronizing parts made of ferrous materials by covering the surfaces to be boronized with a powder, a granulate or a paste of a borating agent and heating the batch under protective gas to temperatures of 850 ° C. and higher in a continuous furnace.
- Boronizing for wear protection of parts made of iron and steel has been a well-known process.
- dense, uniform layers of the respective boride are formed, on iron e.g. the borides FeB and Fe2B.
- the borides have significantly changed properties; in particular, most borides are very hard, corrosion-resistant and therefore extremely wear-resistant.
- the boride layers are firmly connected to the base material by diffusion.
- the boronization temperatures for iron materials are usually between 850 and 950 ° C, the usual layer thicknesses between 30 and 150 ⁇ m. Since the two borides Fe2B and FeB have different properties and multiphase layers usually have worse properties than monophase, efforts are made to produce monophase layers during boronizing.
- boriding in solid boriding agents is used almost exclusively.
- the parts to be treated are packed in iron boxes in a boron-releasing powder, usually mixtures of boron carbide, aluminum oxide, silicon oxide and the like, with activating additives such as ammonium fluoride or potassium borofluoride (e.g. DE-A-1 796 212).
- activating additives such as ammonium fluoride or potassium borofluoride (e.g. DE-A-1 796 212).
- the boxes are tightly sealed and annealed for a while, the desired boride layers being formed in direct solid-to-solid reactions or by transporting the boron over the gas phase.
- Boring with a paste is also known, the borating agent being applied to the parts in paste form.
- Paste boriding is carried out under protective gas, preferably in a continuous furnace, the parts being exposed to temperatures of up to 900 ° C.
- Fe2B iron boride
- This object is achieved in that the parts are first heated to a temperature of 550 to 600 ° C, then wait for a temperature equalization within the batch without further temperature increase and then heated as quickly as possible to the boronizing temperature of 850 ° C and higher .
- the batch is preferably held at a temperature of 550 to 600 ° C. for 8 to 20 minutes and the subsequent heating of the batch to the boronizing temperature of 850 ° C. and higher is advantageously carried out in a period of at most 15 minutes.
- Sheet metal parts made of C 45 steel were packed in boxes made of heat-resistant material in a borating agent consisting of boron carbide, silicon carbide and potassium borofluoride.
- the boxes filled with the borating agent and the parts therein and closed with a lid were placed on the conveyor belt of a continuous furnace and heated as follows: from room temperature to 580 ° C. within 30 minutes. Hold at this temperature until the temperature inside the box has equalized (9 minutes). Warm up to 880 ° C within 8 minutes, hold above this temperature for 32 minutes, then cool to room temperature within 68 minutes.
- a mixture of nitrogen and hydrogen was used as the protective gas in the continuous furnace.
- the layer obtained in the manner described had an average thickness of 33 ⁇ m with scatterings of ⁇ 3 ⁇ m. The layer only had individual FeB teeth on the edges and was otherwise FeB-free.
- Screw wheels made of 42 CrMo4 steel were packed in a box in the boron material as in Example 1 and the boxes placed on the conveyor belt of the continuous furnace. Treatment conditions:
