Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for carburizing metallic workpieces in a furnace at high temperatures and in an atmosphere containing CO and H 2 , in which the atmosphere is formed by reacting an oxygen-containing hydrocarbon medium, in particular an alcohol, with carbon dioxide.
- the invention proposes that the atmosphere is formed on the basis of ethanol and carbon dioxide and the anoder Depletion of the atmosphere, i.e. the setting of a certain carbon level, by adjusting the stoichiometric ratio accordingly of ethanol and carbon dioxide.
- this primarily results in an atmosphere formation reaction in accordance with C 2 H 5 OH + CO 2 ---> 3 CO + 3 H 2 .
- the accumulation or reaction of the water and carbon dioxide formed during the carburizing process which is usually achieved by CH 4 or C 3 H 8 , is achieved according to the invention by adjusting the stoichiometric ratio of ethanol and carbon dioxide, because if there is an excess supply of ethanol, 2 C 2 H 5 OH + 1 CO 2 ---> CH 4 + 2 CO + 2 CO + 4 H 2 also a methane content in the product gas, which takes over the task of the enrichment gas, which is otherwise supplied independently.
- the preparation of an enrichment gas is therefore not necessary in the method according to the invention.
- an atmospheric gas with a CO to H 2 ratio of exactly 1: 1 is produced, which primarily serves to accelerate carburization.
- the ethanol-carbon dioxide system with regard to its reaction properties offers favorable conditions. It already reacts at about 800 ° C in the desired way and ethanol and carbon dioxide can therefore - according a preferred process variant - for atmospheric formation without further measures directly into a carburizing furnace. A procedure with a standalone atmosphere generator can still work in some Applications may be required.
- the "ethanol and carbon dioxide" system also results in a two-component system, that is comparatively easy to regulate.
- the procedure is such that the carbon level in the carburizing furnace is measured continuously and the adjustment of the stoichiometric ratio of ethanol and changing carbon dioxide according to the desired carbon level.
- Atmospheric formation one component is constantly fed into the system, and the other, depending on a carbon level measurement, supplied in a controlled manner becomes.
- a carburizing plant according to the invention is specified in claim 1 and is characterized in that the associated carburizing furnace for the purpose of atmosphere formation only an ethanol source (A) and a carbon dioxide source (C) served and therefore with this is connected, and that a measuring device (M) for measuring the carbon level is present in the furnace, which in turn has a quantity control unit in the ethanol feed line and / or the carbon dioxide feed line is connected.
- the invention is explained in more detail below in connection with the attached figure using an exemplary embodiment.
- the figure shows a system design according to the invention with regulated CO 2 supply.
- a carburizing furnace O is first to be coupled to an ethanol source A and to a carbon dioxide source C via suitable lines and actuators.
- the ethanol supply consists of an ethanol pump P and a line 1, which opens into a atomization unit V before reaching the carburizing furnace.
- a carbon dioxide feed line 2d likewise opens into the atomization unit.
- the carbon dioxide feed line 2d divides upstream of the atomization unit V into a parallel circuit section with two lines 2b and 2c, in each of which an actuator - S1 and S2 - is provided for quantity control.
- the parallel connection is connected to the CO 2 source C via a line section 2a and a main valve H.
- the carburizing furnace O is equipped with a measuring device M for measuring the carbon level in its interior.
- the measuring device M in turn is connected to a control device S, which in turn acts on the actuator S2 in the bypass line 2c of the parallel connection.
- a procedure according to the invention of this system is that the starting media ethanol and carbon dioxide are introduced in certain basic quantities into the furnace O which is at a temperature and which are determined by suitable adjustment of the pumping power of the ethanol pump P and of the actuator S1.
- the feed quantities are to be adjusted so that one mole of ethanol comes to one mole of CO 2 , with an excess of ethanol generally being provided in the variant shown.
- an atmosphere is obtained from these starting media, essentially containing 1: 1 CO and H 2 , the carbon level of which is determined by the measuring device M, for example an oxygen probe or a C-flow probe. Since in the described case, in principle an excess of ethanol is used, a relatively high C level arises in the basic setting of the system.
- the correspondingly programmed control device S triggers the opening of the actuator S2 and thus increases the CO 2 supply. As a result, the C level drops until, when a lower limit to be defined is reached, actuator S2 is closed again. In this way, a relatively simple, extremely efficient, C-level controlled carburizing atmosphere is obtained.
