た、方法（２）の夏（。However, the above method () has the disadvantage of requiring a large initial equipment cost. For this reason, methods (2) and (3) are becoming more common these days.The CO gas addition method in method (2) is currently several thousand yen to 11/rrrN. It is extremely expensive, which increases running costs, and it is necessary to install highly dangerous CO gas piping at the furnace mouth, which poses operational safety issues. There is a problem that it easily turns into soot. Also, method (2) summer (.
ガス添加法においてはＨ，ガスが炉内の酸素と結合して
水分を生成させるために炉内雰囲気の露点を上昇させる
という問題がある。In the gas addition method, there is a problem in that the H gas combines with oxygen in the furnace to generate moisture, thereby raising the dew point of the atmosphere in the furnace.

うな間８点があった。In addition, in method (3), the additives are highly flammable, so there is a risk of explosion when overwriting the furnace, and it requires a controller and sensor to prevent explosions, making it difficult to operate, and it requires changing the atmospheric conditions inside the furnace. There was a score of 8 for the long waiting time required.

is a gas supply pipe that supplies nitrogen gas into the furnace body 1 via the flow cap meter 6. The inside of the furnace body 1 becomes a nitrogen gas atmosphere supplied by this gas supply pipe, but the commercially available nitrogen gas filled in the cylinder that is the gas source contains oxygen in the range of several pprn to several hundred ppin. Further, when the processed product 3 is charged into the furnace body 1, # elements brought in from the outside and a trace amount of oxygen generated by scale reduction on the surface of the processed product remain in the furnace body 1. Incidentally, the oxygen in the furnace reacts with the carbon debris 2 to generate carbon monoxide. Therefore, the oxygen partial pressure (ATM) in the furnace becomes low, and decarburization of the processed product 3 is prevented.

られた。Further, in the furnace body 1 shown in FIG. 3, a carbon heater 8 is provided in the furnace, and the heater 8 is caused to react with oxygen in the furnace. When used in a heater in this way, the carbon itself is heated to a high temperature, which has the advantage of making the reaction with the oxygen in the furnace more active, and the amount of carbon wear can be detected by changes in the heater's electrical resistance, allowing replacement. It has the advantage of being easy to set a guideline for. 535C-355C as a processed product in the furnace body l by the carbon heater 8 shown in FIG.
As a result of supplying nitrogen gas with an oxygen partial pressure #go-ha Lm into the furnace body 1 and annealing according to the temperature curve shown in Fig. 4, the oxygen partial pressure in the furnace was io''''a t. Ferrite decarburization D + y + F of treated product 3, which is maintained below m, has zero ferrite decarburization D m T, and the total decarburization D m T is 3/100 to 4/100.
It was possible to suppress the value of tm to a very low value, and a processing result with no color loss was obtained compared to the conventional method (2).
