Abstract

PURPOSE:To perform forced-convection cooling with a small amt. of a gaseous refrigerant by introducing and replenishing the gaseous refrigerant to a heat- treating furnace while keeping prescribed pressure, carrying out forced-convection cooling, stopping the additional replenishment of the gaseous refrigerant after the temp. reaches a prescribed value, and continuing the cooling. CONSTITUTION:When heat treatment such as hardening is carried out in a vacuum heat treating furnace, etc., a gaseous refrigerant is introduced into the heat- treating furnace to keep the pressure at a prescribed value, and forced-convection cooling of a material to be heat-treated in the furnace is carried out. During said cooling, the gaseous refrigerant is appropriately replenished to keep the pressure at said specified value. When the temp. of the material to be heat-treated reaches a specified value by said cooling, the additional supply of the gaseous refrigerant is stopped, and the cooling is performed only by the gaseous refrigerant remaining in the furnace.

More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for introducing forced convection cooling gas into a vacuum heat treatment furnace or the like.

Conventionally, when quenching steel in a vacuum heat treatment furnace that performs sea bream heat treatment, etc., forced cooling is performed by introducing refrigerant gas at a certain predetermined pressure above atmospheric pressure. In this case, conventionally, additional refrigerant gas is intermittently introduced during cooling in order to keep the gas pressure constant from the beginning to the end of cooling.

This is to compensate for the drop in pressure caused by the gas becoming more concentrated due to cooling.

Generally, the rate of forced convection cooling increases approximately in proportion to the gas pressure. Recently, vacuum heat treatment furnaces capable of high-speed convection cooling have been required, and until 7 or 8 years ago, the refrigerant gas pressure was about 0.9 par, but 3 or 4 years ago, the pressure of the refrigerant gas was about 0.9 par. ~2, g s-le and 29.

Therefore, when cooling is completed after the vacuum heat treatment, gas exists in the furnace at a low temperature and a set pressure of, for example, 5 par. Then, in order to take out the hardened steel etc. from the furnace, it is necessary to release the gas at the above-mentioned set pressure into the furnace and lower the furnace pressure to atmospheric pressure. That is, a large amount of refrigerant gas χ will be disposed of here, and the large consumption of refrigerant gas will be a blessing in disguise. For this reason, it is desired to suppress the refrigerant gas as much as possible.

This is a forced convection cooling gas introduction method with 1# characteristic.

Figure 1 shows the isothermal transformation curve of the skin and the cooling continuous vertical axis Km.
degree is set. In the figure, l is the transformation curve of steel, generally called the 8 curve. 2 is the upper rapid transformation part on this 8 curve, generally called the nose of the 8 curve. In order to insert *t'm, it is necessary to cool the cooling curve so that the temperature does not exceed the nose 2K.
It is in the Jl@ range of 00 C and the temperature in the same #i range -
Therefore, even if the cooling rate is small, it does not affect the quenching itself. In the process of forced convection cooling, this invention first goes to cooling 1 with a specified gas pressure - 1 whose cooling curve is 8 curves 2? After cooling, even if the gas pressure decreases due to cooling contraction, gas introduction is stopped to save gas. In the figure, 4 is a curve showing the cooling rate of steel when using the conventional gas introduction method, 5 is a curve showing the cooling rate when using the gas introduction method according to the present invention, and 6 is a curve showing the cooling rate when using the gas introduction method according to the present invention.
Is it a curve when there is no 8 because it is hardened? It shows. The same curve 6 is 8El['s nose 2K kakatsu'' (i5f), and V'6 is not quenched. Although I mentioned the predetermined temperature, this varies depending on the heat treatment conditions, so
This can be set arbitrarily.

Next, regarding gas injection due to stopping the additional introduction of refrigerant gas, the following will occur.

If the temperature is 40℃, pressure is proportional to absolute temperature, so (300+273)/(273+40)I"=1.
83 Therefore, is the method of this invention, that is, the method of stopping the introduction of refrigerant gas into the furnace when it passes the nose 2 of the 8 curve? Compared to the conventional method, which involves intermittently introducing gas into the furnace to maintain a specified gas pressure until the end of cooling, the gas consumption is approximately 1/1.8. becomes.
