Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for treating parts, in particular steel and / or cast parts.
  • Steel parts are heated to the respective austenitizing temperature in a furnace using protective gases such as nitrogen, nitrogen / propane mixture, endogas, exogas and the like and hardened by quenching agents at any quenching rate.
  • protective gases such as nitrogen, nitrogen / propane mixture, endogas, exogas and the like and hardened by quenching agents at any quenching rate.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a method for bluing parts during curing.
  • a subsequent oxidation treatment can be dispensed with by the invention, since the steel and / or castings receive a uniform, thin oxide layer (iron oxide) by introducing or atomizing a reducing and at the same time oxidizing reaction gas in the furnace chamber during the hardening process at the respective hardening temperature.
  • the simultaneous blueing and hardening of the parts increases the efficiency of the process.
  • the amounts of hydrocarbons used to generate the flame curtain could be almost halved by feeding in the reaction gas.
  • the soot formation is greatly reduced by incomplete combustion of the flame gases, for example the propane, so that the cleaning intervals of the furnace space are also increased.
  • a reducing and at the same time oxidizing reaction gas is fed into a hardening furnace via a known injector spray lance, thereby creating a gas atmosphere which has a slightly oxidizing effect.
  • the pure, liquid substances methanol and water as well as gaseous nitrogen are preferably mixed with the help of the injector spray lance and reach the hot part of the furnace, finely atomized, through the outlet holes. Due to the high furnace temperature, the liquid substances evaporate, whereby gaseous methanol splits into two parts hydrogen and one part carbon monoxide. Methanol fission gas is the reducing component, while water vapor is the oxidizing component.
  • Nitrogen is used to atomize the liquid substances and to dilute the oxidizing and reducing components of the gas atmosphere.
  • the hardened material is placed outside the furnace on a transport system and transported to the furnace chamber.
  • the parts are heated to the respective austenitizing temperature (860 - 940 ° C) and then suddenly fall into a quenching bath, especially an oil or salt bath.
  • a quenching bath especially an oil or salt bath.
  • the surface of the parts is easily oxidized by the water vapor in the gas atmosphere of the furnace. So that the oxidation of the parts does not already take place at low temperatures, the flame curtain, which is located in the lower part of the furnace inlet, is optimally adjusted, i.e.
  • the amount of propane or natural gas (hydrocarbons) is matched to the amount of reaction gas fed in so that the flame curtain binds oxygen, thus preventing early oxidation of the parts to be hardened.
  • the flame curtain is installed across the conveying direction.
  • the amounts of propane are 100 - 2000 l / h and the reaction gas amounts are 2 - 20 m3 / h.
  • the new process made it possible to achieve uniform and well-adhering layers (blue color) when hardening steel parts. No blistering was found.
