Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for the heat treatment of metallic workpieces by heating up the workpieces and then quenching, the Quenching is performed with a cooling gas.
- a generic method for the heat treatment of metallic workpieces is known from DE-PS 37 36 501. This is done in the furnace where the heat treatment takes place during quenching with helium, hydrogen or a Mixture of helium and hydrogen as cooling gas a cooling gas pressure p between 1 and 4 MPa set.
- the cooling gas velocity v is set so that the product of the cooling gas pressure p and the cooling gas speed v between 10 and 250 MPa m / sec.
- the heat treatment in a heat treatment furnace for example in a vacuum furnace, downstream quenching can either be in the furnace itself or a gas-tight chamber.
- EP-A 0 869 189 describes a method for quenching metallic workpieces after a heat treatment, in which a cooling gas pressure p in the furnace or Quench chamber greater than 4 MPa (40 bar), preferably greater than 4 MPa and up to 5.5 MPa. This method also comes as cooling gas the gases or gas mixtures listed, and nitrogen or nitrogen-containing ones Mixtures for use.
- the object of the present invention is a method for heat treatment specify metallic workpieces, especially with regard to the quenching process is optimized and by means of which the quality of the heat-treated metallic workpieces can be increased.
- this is achieved by using CO, CO 2 , O 2 , H 2 S, H 2 O vapor, H 3 N, NO 3 , methanol, a saturated and / or unsaturated hydrocarbon as the cooling gas.
- the method according to the invention is proposed that the Cooling gas nitrogen, helium, hydrogen or a mixture of helium and hydrogen is added.
- the cold chamber coupled to a carburizing furnace particularly advantageous with a gas mixture consisting of half each Hydrogen and carbon monoxide.
- a gas mixture consisting of half each Hydrogen and carbon monoxide.
- excellent quenching behavior is not only achieved, it also arises during quenching itself a reducing effect on the quenched Workpiece.
- This has not only improvements in terms of purity and Functionality of the workpiece surface, but also offers the advantage that the gas or gas mixture used for quenching without aftertreatment can be fed directly to a furnace as carbonization gas.
- the H 2 / CO gas mixture mentioned is to be regarded as advantageous not only with regard to the quenching process but also with regard to the carburizing process, since this gas mixture represents an optimal atmosphere for carburizing case-hardening steels.
- thermochemical treatment required reactive gas component in a concentration up to 50 vol .-%, preferably up to 15 vol .-% is added.
- Carbon dioxide / helium cooling gas mixture has a reducing effect and through that Add 10 vol.% Carbon dioxide to nitrogen or 4 vol.% Oxygen to Hydrogen has an oxidizing effect.
- the quenching process can be optimized and the quality of the heat treated metallic workpieces can be improved.
- the required plant engineering Effort compared to the prior art processes not significantly enlarged.
