Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for plasma carburizing metallic workpieces in a furnace, the furnace atmosphere containing a carbon carrier which under the process conditions of plasma carburizing with the release of pure Carbon is split.
- thermochemical treatment processes for case hardening metallic Workpieces have become conventional in recent years
- Gas carburizing is increasingly the carburizing process in vacuum plants enforced, because only with these processes a carburization free of edge oxidation is feasible.
- These carburizing processes in vacuum plants are concerned low pressure and plasma carburizing. Because with these carburizing processes one can work without oxygen-containing reaction gases there is no C level control; the decisive parameter for the carbon transition in these processes, the carbon mass flow density is is defined as the amount of carbon per unit of time and area in the Material passes over.
- This carbon required for the carburization is extracted from an in carbon carrier in the furnace atmosphere - usually one Hydrocarbon - provided under the given process conditions is split with the release of pure carbon.
- propane C 3 H 8
- propane pyrolysis the carbon carrier, which is split in the course of the so-called propane pyrolysis according to the following reaction equations: C 3 H 8 ⁇ CH 4 + C 2 H 4 C 2 H 4 ⁇ 2C + 2H 2 CH 4 ⁇ C + 2H 2
- methane (CH 4 ) is usually used as the carbon carrier, which is obtained by methane pyrolysis according to the equation CH 4 ⁇ C + 2H 2 is split.
- propane instead of methane.
- methane or propane as a carbon carrier is in each case with various advantages and disadvantages.
- propane due to its larger number of carbon atoms - 3 carbon atoms in the Propane versus 1 carbon atom in methane - a more effective carbon carrier as methane.
- propane has the disadvantage that propane is already split thermally in the temperature range above 600 ° C, whereby A carburization already takes place in the furnace, which leads to the furnace becoming sooty.
- methane only has one carbon atom, but it is the methane molecule so stable that it is not already at the necessary carburizing temperature is split. Rather, the splitting takes place only in the plasma and therefore really only on the workpiece surface. Since the carbon mass flow density at Cleavage of methane is very low, large batches can only be Carburize evenly with methane.
- the object of the invention is to provide a process for the plasma carburization of metallic workpieces which ensures carburization with a high carbon mass flow density without there being a risk of sooting the furnace at the same time.
- the furnace atmosphere consists of a mixture of methane and propane serving as carbon support, wherein the methane-propane mixture to .- contains about 60% by volume of propane, and that the gas pressure of the furnace atmosphere is below 10 mbar.
- the inventive method is characterized in that the increase the carbon mass flow density while avoiding soot formation is achieved in that an existing only of methane and propane Gas mixture with a propane content of up to 60 vol.% At a gas pressure in the furnace atmosphere of less than 10 mbar is used. At a gas pressure of Thermal splitting of the methane is almost impossible below 10 mbar. The Adding further gases such as hydrogen to the methane-propane mixture is to avoid soot formation among the Process parameters according to the invention are not necessary.
