Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for processing surface of a metal part, and more particularly, a method of surface hardening by enriching carbon or boron with surface layer located near a surface of the part.
- a surface treatment of a metal part has been described in which a gas atmosphere containing an element is brought into contact with a surface of the part brought to a temperature between 270 and 550 ° C. interstitial such as carbon or nitrogen, in the ionized state, at a pressure below 1.33.10 -2 mbar (10 mtorr). Due to the low pressure of the gaseous atmosphere, the interstitial content of the surface layer remains low even for treatment times of several hours.
- these compounds In the case of surface treatment of a steel part stainless, these compounds contain chromium which is taken up in the surface layer of the stainless steel part. This results in a degradation of the part's resistance to corrosion.
- An object of the present invention is to remedy this drawback by proposing a method for hardening the surface of a part metallic which does not deteriorate its resistance to corrosion.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a treatment of the surface of a metal part which can be used industrially, under favorable conditions with regard to costs and duration of treatment.
- the gaseous compound can consist of a hydrocarbon aliphatic or aromatic or by a cyclan.
- the gaseous compound can also consist of methane and in this case, the gaseous atmosphere can contain from 5 to 30% in methane volume.
- the gaseous compound can also consist of a derivative boron gas, for example, a diborane.
- the gaseous atmosphere may also contain nitrogen or a gaseous derivative of nitrogen such as ammonia.
- the process applies, in particular, to alloy parts metallic whose structure is face centered cubic, centered cubic or tetragonal, more particularly, to stainless steel parts austenitic or martensitic, with nickel-based alloy parts and to cobalt-based alloy parts.
- the process can also be applied to alloy parts metallic based on aluminum or based on titanium.
- the metal part obtained has a surface layer hardened by an interstitial element consisting of at least one of the carbon and boron elements, and optionally, additionally, with nitrogen; the surface layer consists of a homogeneous solid solution free of precipitates containing 5 and 50 atom% and preferably between 10% and 30% interstitial.
- the part is placed in the enclosure of a treatment furnace surface by plasma.
- the enclosure is placed under vacuum and then introduced into the enclosure a mixture of gases, the pressure of which is lower than the pressure atmospheric can be between 0.5 and 200 mbar.
- the mixture of gas consists of a reactive gas on the one hand, and dilution gas on the other parts which are, for example, hydrogen and argon.
- the reactive gas is a gaseous compound either of carbon or of boron; for example, a aliphatic hydrocarbon, an aromatic hydrocarbon or a cyclane, and, in particular methane, or, for example, a diborane.
- the mixture gas may also contain a small proportion of a compound nitrogen gas.
- the gas mixture creating a cold plasma.
- ionization of the gas mixture creates ions which, by bombarding the surface of the part, can passivate it to make it reactive and heat, and, on the other hand, creates very reactive species of carbon or of boron, which are atoms of which certain electron layers are excited. Highly reactive carbon or boron species react with the surface and penetrate inside by diffusion to form a interstitial solid solution free of precipitates.
- the surface temperature must be sufficient, and preferably above 300 ° C. But to avoid the formation of precipitated the surface temperature must remain below 460 ° C. So that the penetration of the active elements in the metal takes place satisfactorily it is also necessary that the production of element active on the surface of the part is not too important. Indeed, with the carbon, for example, if the production of active carbon is too fast, it a harmful carbon black deposit forms on the surface of the part for the treatment. To avoid this, the active gas content of the product is limited. gas mixture in order to balance the kinetics of production of active element on the surface of the part, and the kinetics of penetration of the active element in the room.
- the active gas when the active gas is methane, its content in the gas mixture, is between 5 and 30% and, from preferably around 10%.
- the gaseous atmosphere in contact with the surface of the part is maintained at a pressure which must be higher at 0.5 and which can go up to 200 mbar.
- the plasma can be a so-called “discharge plasma", that is to say a plasma generated by an electric discharge between an anode and a cathode, the part to be treated being brought to a cathodic potential and which can itself be the cathode.
- discharge plasma that is to say a plasma generated by an electric discharge between an anode and a cathode, the part to be treated being brought to a cathodic potential and which can itself be the cathode.
- the ions are accelerated, they bombard the surface of the part which heats it up enough so that there is no need to provide a means of additional heating.
- the plasma can also be a plasma generated by a electromagnetic wave generator, or microwave generator, or a "post-discharge" plasma, that is to say a plasma transferred from a plasma generator to the enclosure in which it is located the room.
- a plasma generated by a electromagnetic wave generator, or microwave generator or a "post-discharge" plasma, that is to say a plasma transferred from a plasma generator to the enclosure in which it is located the room.
- bombardment of the workpiece surface may be insufficient to cause the necessary heating.
- we heats the surface of the room for example, by radiation.
- the duration of the treatment depends on the thickness of the layer treated we want to obtain, this duration can vary between 1 hour and a few tens of hours.
- the solid solution contains a high proportion of element interstitial, between 5 and 50 atom% and, generally between between 10 and 30 atom%. According to the conditions of implementation of the treatment and in particular, depending on the duration of treatment, it is possible to obtain a hardened surface layer with a thickness of 1 to 60 ⁇ m.
- the surface layer of the part may present after the treatment of a Vickers Hv hardness greater than 800.
- This treatment which is applicable to a very wide variety of metal alloys and, in particular, to alloys with a structure face centered cubic, centered cubic or tetragonal (for example, austenitic, ferritic or martensitic stainless steels), allows to obtain a layer 1 to 60 ⁇ m thick, of a solid solution saturated, or even supersaturated, with carbon or boron, homogeneous, that is to say free of carbide or boride precipitates, the hardness of which can be greater than 800 Vickers or even 1000 Vickers and that is very resistant to corrosion. Carbon can be combined with nitrogen to form the layer of solid solution.
- the alloy is an austenitic steel, the carburetted layer cannot be attacked by chemical reagents commonly used in metallography and has a resistance to attack by salt spray greater than 1000 hours.
- a second phase we submit the parts to an atmosphere containing carbon in activated form at a temperature generally lower than the treatment temperature during the first phase and for example, between 300 and 350 ° C.
- the surface layer of the parts is loaded with carbon, so so that a solid solution of carbon in the steel of the nitrogen-laden part, during the first phase.
- the martensitic steel parts then have both a high wear resistance and very good corrosion resistance.
- This treatment in two successive phases applies in particular highly stressed martensitic steel mechanical parts such as than parts used in the field of oil drilling or tools or cutting blades.
- the treatment according to the invention which allows obtain very hard, wear-resistant surface layers and very resistant to corrosion, can be performed on all kinds of parts, and in particular, on any mechanical part subject to wear in corrosive environment (for example: food industry, chemical industry, nuclear industry, marine environment, biomedical applications); mostly austenitic steel container to resist scratching, for example austenitic stainless steel dishes that can be coated before forming; on the blades of sharp stainless steel objects martensitics such as knives and scalpels; on implants orthopedic; on valves; on turbine parts or condensers subject to pitting corrosion.
- the treatment can, also, be made on a strip or on a metal blank, set work after treatment.
- the treatment applies in particular, in the case of panels in decorative austenitic stainless steel, for example, with polished panels and / or colored by a process such as anodization.
- the hardening of the surface of the panels by formation of a solution homogeneous solid of carbon in a surface layer of panels avoids the risk of scratches and degradation of the aesthetic appearance of the panels.
