Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for carburizing metallic workpieces in a vacuum furnace, the furnace atmosphere being a carbon carrier contains, under the process conditions of carburization with the release of pure carbon is split.
- thermochemical case hardening treatments metallic workpieces have been in addition to the conventional gas carburizing is increasingly the carburizing processes in Vacuum systems enforced, because only with these procedures Carburization free of edge oxidation is feasible.
- these Carburizing processes in vacuum systems are the vacuum and plasma carburizing. Since in these carburizing processes without oxygen-containing reaction gases is working, no C level control respectively; the key parameter for the carbon transition is at this method the carbon mass flow density, which as The amount of carbon is defined per unit of time and area in the Material passes over.
- This carbon required for carburization is from a carbon carrier in the furnace atmosphere - usually one Hydrocarbon - provided at the given Process conditions with the release of pure carbon is split.
- Vacuum carburizing processes are, for example, from the elements SU-A-668978, WO-A-96/3056 and GB-A-226127.
- 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 mostly 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 associated with various advantages and disadvantages.
- propane due to its larger number of carbon atoms - 3 carbon atoms for propane versus 1 carbon atom for methane - a more effective carbon carrier as methane.
- propane has the disadvantage that it is already thermally split in the temperature range above 600 ° C, which leads to Sooting of the oven and tar formation in the oven can result.
- methane only has one carbon atom, but it is the methane molecule so stable that it is not already necessary Carburizing temperature is split. Rather, the split takes place only in Plasma and therefore really only on the workpiece surface. Since the Carbon mass flow density is low when splitting methane, For large batches, large quantities of process gas must be sent to the furnace be fed.
- Partial pressure of the carbon carrier pulsates towards higher partial pressures vary so that the increasing the carbon mass flow density Partial pressure of the carbon carrier only briefly to increase the Carburizing effect is available, but then decreases again, so that the soot formation can be kept within limits. Because of the partial high partial pressure of the carbon carrier of up to 100 mbar however, even in this method operated with pressure pulses gradual sooting of the furnace so that it still closes Cleaning purposes must be switched off.
- the invention has for its object to provide a method for carburizing metallic workpieces in a vacuum furnace, which ensures a constant carburization with a high carbon mass flow density, without the risk of sooting the furnace .
- the carbon carrier is a hydrocarbon with a carbon-hydrogen ratio of 1: 1 is used, preferably acetylene, under the conditions stated in claim 1.
- a partial pressure of the carbon carrier of less than 20 mbar, preferably 10 mbar, observed in order to achieve a high without soot formation Carbon mass flow density or carbon transfer rate achieve.
- Carburizing the partial pressure of the carbon carrier pulsating can be varied, the partial pressure of the carbon carrier values from to reached to 50 mbar.
- the furnace atmosphere can also contain other gases, in particular Contain hydrogen and / or argon, which additionally as the inert gases Prevent oxidation of the workpieces.
- the Splitting of the carbon carrier can be supported by a plasma.
- Vacuum carburization with the carbon carriers propane and ethane took place at 860 ° C and with a partial pressure of the carbon carrier of 10 mbar.
- the vacuum carburization with the carbon carrier acetylene was carried out at 930 ° C and a partial pressure of the carbon carrier of 10 mbar a carburizing and diffusion phase period of 260 min.
- the above-described uniform carburization on the outer and The inner surface of the test workpiece is also shown in the illustrations 2 to 4, in which the surface hardness and the case hardening depth (HV 1.0) is shown at different measuring points.
- a comparison of the graphics 3 and 4 shows that when using acetylene as a carbon carrier not just an almost constant surface hardness along the inner and outer workpiece surface is achieved, but also the Case hardening depth (HV 1.0) on the inner and outer Workpiece surface coincides almost at all measuring points.
