When using this metal capsule, a press method is generally used as a capsule sealing method. As shown in Fig. 1, in this method, the gas in the metal capsule 1 filled with the powder to be treated 2 is first degassed through the degassing tube 3, and when the inside of the capsule reaches a predetermined degree of vacuum, the degassing tube 3 is opened at a suitable position. hammer 14, 14'
This is a method of sealing by hot forging, then cutting the forged part 15 with gas or a hacksaw, and welding the cut part to seal it. It is virtually impossible to press the forging part, and it is inevitable that a vacuum leak will occur during cutting. In particular, if powder is caught in the press part, the press part is likely to become incomplete, resulting in large vacuum leaks during cutting, and it is often impossible to maintain a predetermined degree of vacuum inside the capsule. In addition, when welding a cut part, welding defects are likely to occur if powder gets caught in the forging part, and this welding defect is caused by the welding part breaking during HIP and high-pressure atmospheric gas entering the capsule. This was also a cause of failure in HIP processing.

Furthermore, if the HIP process is performed while the capsule is incompletely degassed, residual gas will create pores in the product, leading to a decline in product quality.

The incidence of HIP failure or defective products due to such degassing and sealing failures is not small during HIP processing, and this is a major factor in lowering yields and increasing costs of HIP products.

In view of the current situation, the present invention was made to improve the situation, and instead of the conventional sealing by forging, sealing by screwing the plug is adopted,
Moreover, the plug is firmly inserted into the degassing pipe to stabilize the seal, and the two are welded together so that the seal is maintained even during HIP processing.

FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing one embodiment of the method of the present invention, in which a female thread 4 and a tapered portion 5 following this are formed on the inner surface of the degassing tube 3 of the capsule 1 used in the present invention. A plug 8 to be inserted into the trachea has a male thread 6 and an edge portion 7 and a rod 1 below it.
0 is formed. When attaching the plug 8 to the deaeration pipe 3, first arrange the vacuum container 12 so as to enclose the deaeration pipe 3 as shown in the figure, and then attach the vacuum container 12 to the nozzle 16 with the inside of the container completely sealed with the packing 17. A connected vacuum pump (not shown) evacuates the inside of the capsule through the degassing pipe 3 and also removes air from the container 12.
Also evacuate the inside. This vacuum container 12 is provided with a handle 13 for holding the plug 8 inside the container, and the vacuum container 12 is provided with a guide 18 provided inside the vacuum container 12 so that the plug 8 is positioned directly above the degassing tube 3. Guided and placed.

When the inside of the capsule 1 and the inside of the vacuum container 12 reach a predetermined degree of vacuum, the handle 13 is rotated downward while maintaining the degree of vacuum, and the plug 8 is screwed into the degassing tube 3. Here, the plug 8 is made of a harder material than the material of the deaeration pipe 3, for example, the capsule and the deaeration pipe are made of a soft material such as mild steel, and the plug is made of a hard material such as stainless steel, as shown in FIG. As shown, the edge part 7 of the plug 8 is caught in the tapered part 5 of the degassing tube 3, and even if the vacuum container 12 is removed, the inside of the capsule 1 is completely sealed by the plug, the threaded part of the degassing tube, and the biting part. Therefore, there is no vacuum leak and the initial vacuum level is maintained.

Next, when the plug is attached to the deaeration pipe, the plug and the deaeration pipe are welded and integrated by circumferential welding 9, and the deaeration sealing is completed. This circumferential welding 9 may be done by TIG welding, which does not use filler metal, which is conventionally used in this type of welding, but it is important to weld the threaded parts 4 and 6 without melting them as much as possible to prevent vacuum leakage in the welding process. Since it is preferable, circumferential weld grooves 11 and 11' are formed in advance at the upper end welds of the degassing pipe 3 and the plug 8.
It is preferable to form the weld metal by MLG welding or CO 2 welding.

In addition, the rod 10 provided at the bottom of the plug 8 is
As shown in Figure 3, the plug has a length that does not penetrate into the capsule 1 when attached.
This is to prevent the degassing tube 3 from being significantly deformed and damaged by external pressure during HIP processing, and by having this rod 10 inside the degassing tube 3,
Even if the deaeration pipe is pressed and deformed during HIP, the rod 1
0 prevents large deformation of the degassing tube, thereby preventing breakage of the degassing tube and HIP failure due to this.

In addition, when degassing the capsule while heating it, not only the gas between the powder particles inside the capsule but also the gas molecules adsorbed to the powder particles are exhausted, which increases the vacuum level inside the capsule. will further improve.

(Example) A vacuum vessel shown in Fig. 2 was prepared by filling a mild steel capsule with a degassing pipe with an inner diameter of the thread part d 1 of 18.6 mm, a length of the thread part of 20 mm, a taper part length of 8 mm, and a lower inner diameter of d 2 of 10 mm. 12 to a vacuum level of 0.02 torr, and while maintaining the vacuum level, a plug made of low-alloy steel (SNCM8) with a screw length of 15 mm and an edge length of l8 mm was attached, and the plug was once brought to atmospheric pressure. When I took it out and measured the internal vacuum level, I found that the initial level of 0.02 torr was maintained.

As described above, according to the method of the present invention, the plug made of a material harder than the material of the deaeration pipe is screwed into the deaeration pipe and the two are engaged at the same time, so that the initial vacuum level inside the capsule is maintained stably. This is because the two are welded together and integrated.
Even during HIP processing, the degree of vacuum is maintained sufficiently, and there is no need to worry about insufficient degassing or poor sealing. Therefore, compared to conventional sealing methods, the yield of HIP products is significantly improved and the quality is stabilized. It is expected that this will greatly contribute to the promotion of practical application of HIP technology.
