Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for quenching workpieces, in particular for hardening steels and steel alloys, using an aqueous quenching liquid, in particular using an aqueous solution of at least one polymer, at least from the group of polyalkylene glycols (PAG), modified polyalkylene glycols, polyacrylates (ACR ), of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), by reactive immersion in a quenching tank
- PAG polyalkylene glycols
- ACR polyacrylates
- PVP polyvinylpyrrolidone
- Polymer solutions as quenching liquids have a number of advantages over quenching oil: they are inexpensive, non-flammable, do not produce smoke when quenched, do not require complicated cleaning processes for workpieces that produce emulsions, and do not cause the soil contamination that can be observed when quenching with hard oils Environment of the hardening furnaces.
- the aqueous polymer solutions have the disadvantage that at the usual operating temperatures of the quench baths, which are between about 30 and 60 ° C, considerable amounts of water vapor are released, which have the tendency to penetrate into the furnace chamber and any pre-chamber. In such a case, corrosion of functionally essential furnace parts is the result, if appropriate protective measures are not taken by costly measures such as the use of stainless steel.
- the quenching tank is arranged under the furnace or its pre-chamber and surrounded concentrically by a storage tank, the quenching liquid in the quenching tank and in the storage tank being of the same height due to the principle of the communicating tubes.
- the quenching tank is usually open at the top.
- a long vertical shaft is arranged between the quenching container and the furnace chamber, which is surrounded by a cooling jacket above the quenching area in order to condense the water vapor. Above this cooling jacket there is a suction opening for uncondensed vapors.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a quenching method of the type described at the outset, in which all the advantages of quenching by aqueous solutions of polymeric substances are retained, but in which the furnace space and any antechambers are very effectively protected against the ingress of water vapor.
- the object is achieved in that the quenching container is emptied into a storage tank outside the quenching phase.
- the essence of the invention is therefore to store the polymer solution in an external tank and to fill it into the quenching tank only when the quenching process is to be carried out.
- the quenching phase has a negligible duration compared to a conventional heat treatment phase.
- carburizing the workpieces in a gas phase process takes between 240 and depending on the size of the workpieces and the degree of carburization of the workpiece surface 600 minutes, the deterrence itself, however, a maximum of only about 10 minutes, usually even less than 5 minutes.
- the volume of the storage tank can be kept relatively small: For the quenching liquid, a volume is required that is approximately twice as large as the batch volume. For example, 10 liters of quenching liquid per kilogram of the batch are sufficient to carry out the quenching process.
- the quenching phase can be carried out in the following ways: In a first method, the workpieces are lowered into the quenching container before flooding, and the quenching liquid is then conveyed into the quenching container at a predetermined speed.
- the quenching tank is at least partially, but preferably up to a predetermined liquid level, filled with the quenching liquid before the workpieces are lowered, and the workpieces are then lowered into the quenching liquid at a predetermined speed.
- the quenching process can be controlled in a very targeted manner, either by increasing the liquid level or by lowering the batch.
- the workpieces are washed in the quenching tank with a washing liquid which consists of at least 90%, preferably at least 95%, water. In this way, the workpieces are already sufficiently cleaned from the quenching furnace.
- the quenching liquid is passed through a filter in the quenching phase.
- the wash water with the specified low polymer content can, for example, be used again to replenish the water content of the quenching liquid.
- the invention also relates to a device for carrying out the method specified at the beginning.
- this device is characterized in that the quenching container is assigned at least one storage tank with a feed pump for the quenching liquid.
- the capacity of the at least one storage tank is a multiple of the capacity of the quenching container.
- the quenching conditions can be influenced by the choice of a suitable polymer and / or by the choice of a suitable concentration of the polymer in the water.
- quenching container is assigned two storage tanks for different quenching liquids.
- different quenching liquids is understood to mean those which differ in the type of polymer or polymers and in the concentration of the polymer or polymers.
- a feed pump being arranged in each of the circuits, preferably also at least one shut-off element in the form of a liquid valve.
- 1 shows the lower part of a heat treatment furnace or its prechamber, from which or from which a batch 2 can be lowered into a quenching container 4 by means of a support member 3, which is only indicated schematically.
- the quenching container 4 has in its interior a partition 5 surrounding the charge 2, through which the quenching container 4 is divided into an interior space 6 and an exterior space 7 surrounding it.
- a riser pipe 9 is connected to the bottom 8 of the quenching container 4 in the middle thereof and a discharge pipe 10 is connected in the area of the outer space 7.
- a perforated plate 11 is located between the bottom 8 and the batch 2 in order to even out the upward flow into the interior 6 indicated by arrows.
- the quenching liquid flows down again over the edge of the partition 5 in the direction of the discharge line 10, as is indicated by further arrows.
- the riser 9 two storage tanks 12 and 13 are connected, in which there are different quenching liquids 14 and 15, of which the quenching liquid 14 has, for example, a polymer concentration of 15% and the quenching liquid 15 has a polymer concentration of 30%.
- the storage tanks 12 and 13 are usually not arranged one above the other, but next to one another; the graphic representation was chosen only for the sake of clarity.
- the storage tank 12 is connected to the riser 9 via a feed pump 16 and a feed line 17, while a return line 18 leads back from the discharge line 10 to the storage tank 12.
- a shut-off device 19 is arranged in the feed line 17, a shut-off device 20 and a filter 21 in the return line 18.
- a first circuit is produced between the quenching container 4 and the storage tank 12 through the lines 9, 10, 17, 18. This circuit can be shut off by the shut-off devices 19 and 20.
- the storage tank 13 is connected to the riser 9 via a feed pump 22 and a feed line 23, while the discharge line 10 is connected to the storage tank 13 via a return line 24.
- a shut-off device 25 is located in the feed line 13, while a further shut-off device 26 and a filter 27 are located in the return line 24.
- the lines 9, 10, 23, 24 also form a flow circuit between the quenching container 4 and the storage tank 13 in this case.
- the two storage tanks 12 or 13 can optionally be connected to the quenching container 4.
- the volume of the quenching tank is usually between about 1 and 2 m3, while the volume of the storage tanks 12 and 13 is usually about 10 m3.
