Abstract

PURPOSE:To bring the whole faces of parts into contact with degreasing atmosphere and to uniformly degrease the whole body of the parts by laying the injection-molded parts on a treating table, spouting gas from surface of the treating table and heating and degreasing while introducing gas on the surface which comes into contact with the table. CONSTITUTION:The injection-molded parts (not shown in figure) are laid on the treating table 10 and heated in the air or the atmospheric gas to execute the degreasing treatment. In the above method, the treating table 10 is constituted of porous bodies 1 having smooth and flat surface and an outer frame 2 for supporting the outside part. The porous bodies 1 are formed by sintering fine particles of metal, ceramic, etc., and the plural fine holes are arranged so as to exposure communicating voids 1a on the surface. The air or the same quality gas as the degreasing atmospheric gas supplied from gas introducing pipes 3 arranged at the outer frame 2 through these communicating voids 1a is spouted from the surface of the treating table 10, and the gas is introduced to the face of the injection-formed parts in contact with the treating table 10. By this method, the whole surface of the above parts are brought into contact with the degreasing atmosphere and the whole body of the parts can be uniformly heated and degreased.

(Prior Art) Generally, in the process of molding metal powder by injection molding to produce mechanical parts, etc., a degreasing process is performed to remove the binder contained in the molded product after molding. As a simple method for degreasing, atmospheric degreasing or atmospheric gas degreasing, which is similar to that used for ceramic molded products, is adopted. For materials that require prevention of oxidation, the atmospheric gas may include N, gas, Ar gas,
H8 gas or the like is used. In either case, the product is placed on a processing table, heated and degreased, but the surface of the product in contact with the processing table does not come into contact with the atmosphere or atmospheric gas, so it is difficult to degrease, especially binders such as NO gas and Ar gas. This phenomenon is noticeable in atmospheres that do not cause decomposition reactions, and in some cases, the binder may melt and the product may adhere to the processing table.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) As mentioned above, in the atmospheric degreasing treatment of molded products, the method of providing a wire mesh or unevenness on the processing table to bring the atmospheric gas into contact with the bottom of the product may cause the product to degrease during the degreasing process. Because it softens, it has the disadvantage that the shape of the mesh of the wire mesh supporting the product or the unevenness of the processing table is transferred onto the product surface. On the other hand, with a processing table that has a smooth surface that does not transfer onto the product surface, there is a problem that atmospheric gas does not enter between the product and the processing table, resulting in uneven degreasing.

(Means for Solving the Problems) Therefore, the present invention aims to uniformly degrease the entire product by bringing the entire surface of the product into contact with a degreasing atmosphere without transferring the shape of the mounting surface of the processing table onto the product surface. Specifically, in a degreasing method for injection molded parts in which the injection molded part is placed on a processing table and heated in the atmosphere or atmospheric gas, a gas of the same quality as the atmosphere or the degreasing atmospheric gas is The gas was ejected from the surface of the processing table and heated and degreased while being introduced into the contact surface between the processing table and the injection molded part.

The processing table 10 having such a configuration is installed in a degreasing furnace, the molded product 4 is placed on the upper surface of the porous body of the processing table 10, and the inside of the furnace is exposed to air or a degreasing atmosphere gas such as N8 gas, Ar gas, H, gas, etc. Further, the same gas as the atmosphere inside the furnace is supplied from the gas introduction pipe 3, and heat treatment is performed. The air or gas sent from the gas introduction pipe 3 passes through the porous body 1 and is ejected from the top surface of the porous body 1, passes through the interface between the bottom surface of the molded product 4 and the porous body 1, and enters the degreasing atmosphere in the furnace, as shown in Fig. 2. released 6
When the temperature inside the furnace stops rising, the binder inside the molded product reacts with the degreasing atmosphere inside the furnace and the gas ejected from the surface of the porous body, decomposes, and is removed in the form of a gas flow. In this case, the decomposition reaction of the binder progresses from almost the entire surface of the molded product 4 to the center of the interior, as shown in FIG. 3, and the thickness of the entire molded product decreases uniformly.
Complete debinding or degreasing is achieved in a short time.

FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing the degreasing reaction state of the molded product 6 when a conventional processing table is used. In this case, the molded product 6 is placed on a solid processing table 7 and degreased. Therefore, as shown in the figure, degreasing progresses from the upper side of the molded product 6 that is exposed to the atmosphere or atmospheric gas, and the degreasing speed is slow (at the same time, the bottom of the molded product 6 that is in contact with the processing table 7 does not come into contact with the atmospheric gas, This tendency to leave an incompletely degreased part 8 in this area is more noticeable in atmospheric gas degreasing such as Nt gas or Ar gas than in the atmosphere.In order to bring the bottom of the molded product into contact with the atmospheric gas, If unevenness is formed on 7, this uneven pattern will be transferred to the molded product.

As mentioned above, in the present invention, gas is brought to the supporting interface of the molded product through the communicating pores of the porous body 1, so that the porous body 1 has a smooth surface to the extent that no surface transfer occurs to the molded product. can be formed. Figure 5 (a), ■)
Both are enlarged cross-sectional views showing examples of inappropriate porous material surface properties. The figure (a) shows a case where the surface of the porous body 5 itself has large irregularities 9, and the figure (b) shows the case where the surface of the porous body 5 is flat, but the openings of communicating pores are exposed on the surface of the porous body. This is an example in which the diameter of the opening 5a is large and the shape of the opening 5a is transferred to the molded product 4. In order to prevent such surface transfer, the surface of the porous body is processed or a porous body with an appropriate opening diameter is selected and used. In FIG. 1, the 30 gas introduction pipes for supplying gas to the porous body 1 and their installation positions are determined by the size and shape of the processing table 10, the porosity of the striated porous body, pressure drop, etc. Ru.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, according to the present invention, a molded article is placed on a porous body with a smooth surface, and the same gas as the degreasing atmosphere is introduced to the molded article placement surface through the porous body. As a result, degreasing progresses from all sides of the molded product to the inside, which prevents uneven degreasing from occurring at the bottom of the molded product, allowing for complete degreasing in a short time.Contact between the molded product and the porous body Since an atmospheric film is formed on the surface, there is no problem of the binder melting and sticking during the degreasing process.
