Abstract

PURPOSE:To stabilize atmosphere in furnace, by arranging an oxygen sensor in furnace to detect oxygen concn. in furnace and controlling air supplying quantity basing on the signal. CONSTITUTION:A fixed quantity of material gas is always supplied into an atmospheric heat treating furnace 1 from a material gas source 2. Oxygen enters at opening or closing door or from door sealing part. Furnace inside oxygen partial pressure is obtd. from electromotive force from the oxygen sensor 6 arranged in the furnace 1 and furnace inside temp. measured by a thermocouple 7. At a controller 8, air quantity required to material gas supplied quantitatively and furnace inside oxygen quantity are compared and calculated. The deficit air is supplied in the furnace 1 from an air supplying source 4. By this method, disturbance of atmosphere in the furnace 1 is prevented and complete sealing of the furnace 1 is made unnecessary.

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Graduation Field of Application] ° The present invention provides an atmospheric gas that is particularly effective when heat treatment is performed by supplying raw material gas and air or oxygen directly into the furnace without using a shift furnace. It is related to the control method of the door, and it is not necessary to completely prevent air from entering when opening/closing the door or from the door seal part, so there is no need to make the S section completely sealed (it is economical - and it also reduces the atmosphere). It is possible to prevent the disturbance of

Carburizing is carried out using the CO, but the conventional general method is that the atmosphere inside the furnace is heated at a rate of 5 to 50% per hour to prevent disturbances in the furnace atmosphere or dangers such as explosions.
This is different from the case where a large amount of endothermic gas (>) carrier gas is supplied to maintain the furnace pressure so that it can be replaced 10 times, and enrichment gas is further supplied as necessary.

Since the amount of gas supplied into the furnace is extremely small, when the inlet door, intermediate door, and outlet door are opened and closed for charging, transporting, etc. to be processed, the inside of the furnace becomes negative pressure, and the door and There was a phenomenon where air was sucked in from the door seal, etc.

その結果、炉内の酸素濃度が必要以上となり。As a result, the oxygen concentration in the furnace becomes higher than necessary.

5. It is possible to control the atmosphere and prevent disturbance of the atmosphere, and furthermore, the door seal part etc. need only have a relatively rough construction similar to that of conventional furnaces, and it is economical.
[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention supplies a constant raw material gas into the furnace, and uses an oxygen sensor placed in the furnace to detect gas entering the furnace when the door is opened or closed or from the door seal. The amount of air supplied into the furnace is controlled to be reduced based on the detection signal.

〔作 用〕[For production]

本発明によれば、原料ガスの供給が常に定量とされる。 According to the present invention, the raw material gas is always supplied in a constant quantity.

したがって、炉内に入る時間当りのガス量が一定となり
、炉内雰囲気の安定化が図られる。
Therefore, the amount of gas entering the furnace per hour becomes constant, and the atmosphere inside the furnace is stabilized.

In other words, the atmosphere inside the furnace can also be controlled by the amount of raw material gas supplied, but in that case, if the seal on the door etc. is poor, the gas supply amount is increased, and if the seal is good, the amount of raw material gas is increased. Operations such as reducing the supply amount are required, and the amount of gas entering the furnace per hour is not constant, so the air supply amount must also be controlled.

正確な雰囲気制御が困難である。Accurate atmosphere control is difficult.
