DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a soft nitriding method for cast iron materials, and more specifically, the cast iron material is pre-oxidized before soft nitriding treatment, and the growth rate of the nitrided layer formed by the soft nitriding treatment is increased to increase the nitrided layer. The thickness is increased.

Cast iron, which is used for side housings of rotary engines and the like and is required to have wear resistance, is subjected to soft nitriding treatment to form a soft nitrided layer on its surface.

Conventionally, the soft nitriding treatment described above is performed by cleaning the surface of the material with a cleaning solution and then putting it into a nitriding furnace, but the nitriding speed is slow and it takes a long time to obtain a nitrided layer of the required thickness, making it unsuitable for mass production. There was a certain drawback.

Furthermore, the base of cast iron is pearlite (especially in areas that require wear resistance such as sliding surfaces), and it is difficult to form a soft nitrided layer on this pearlite base, so it is generally difficult to form a soft nitrided layer on the surface of cast iron. It was thought that it could not be produced in a mass-produced manner.

The inventors of the present invention conducted various experiments to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, and found that after cleaning the cast iron material with an anti-rust cleaning solution, the cast iron material was heated to coat the surface before being put into the nitriding furnace.
By forming an oxide film whose main component is Fe 2 O 3 and at the same time converting the pearlite on the surface of the base into ferrite, the nitriding speed becomes faster when placed in a nitriding furnace. It has been found that when nitrided, a considerably thick (approximately 30% thicker) nitrided layer can be obtained.

This invention was made based on the above results, and after cleaning the surface of a cast iron material with an anti-rust cleaning solution, the cast iron material is heated to 400 to 500°C to form an iron oxide film on the surface. , Decompose the barite on the surface of the base to turn it into ferrite, and remove the cleaning liquid before or during the heat treatment, and then nitrocarburize the cast iron material to form a nitrocarburide layer on the surface. The present invention aims to provide a soft nitriding method for cast iron materials, which is characterized by the following.

The present invention will be described in detail below. First, the surface of the cast iron material is cleaned with a cleaning solution such as Perclean or Triclean, and the rust-preventing cleaning solution on the surface is completely removed.
Alternatively, a mineral oil emulsion type detergent may be used as the anti-rust cleaning solution. If the mineral oil emulsion type is used, it can be completely combusted in the next heating step, so there is no need to wash it with perclean, trichlene, or the like.

After cleaning the surface of the above cast iron material, heat the cast iron material to 400℃.
Heat at ~500℃ for 1 to 2 minutes and apply it to the surface of cast iron.
Forms an iron oxide film whose main component is Fe 2 O 3 .
When a mineral oil emulsion type cleaning liquid is used during this heating, the cleaning liquid is completely burned and removed before the oxide film is formed.

The above heating temperature is 400°C to 500°C.
If the temperature is below .degree. C., the pearlite base will not be converted into ferrite quickly, and as shown in the table of FIG. 2, the formation of an oxide film will also be insufficient.

On the other hand, when the temperature exceeds 500°C, there is an extreme difference in the ability to form a nitrocarburized layer at the boundary between the graphite structure on the surface of the cast iron and the matrix, causing the surface of the cast iron to become rough and deformed. This heat treatment may be stopped after 1 to 2 minutes and allowed to cool. It should be noted that holding the oxide film at the treatment temperature for a long time is not preferable because the oxide film becomes too thick and the surface becomes rough and deformed. Note that an appropriate value for this time is selected depending on the components and size of the material.

After forming the above-described oxide film, the cast iron material is charged into a gas soft nitriding furnace. At this time, the effect of the oxide film is the same whether the material is charged into the furnace immediately after the heating or once cooled before being charged into the furnace. However, the former is advantageous in that the effect of the heat treatment before nitriding becomes more pronounced. Further, the reason why the nitriding rate increases when an iron oxide film is formed and nitrided is as follows. In the gas nitrocarburizing furnace, iron oxide is decomposed into iron and oxygen again to produce fresh iron, and as fresh iron is prepared, this iron easily combines with C and N in the furnace. As a result, Fe
It is thought that the -CN layer (soft nitrided layer) will be formed quickly, and the formation property of the soft nitrided layer will be improved. Note that the soft nitriding method is not limited to the above-mentioned gas soft nitriding method, but the same effect can be obtained even if a salt solution nitriding method is used.

() A test piece measuring 80 mm x 60 mm x 5 mm was cast using cast iron material FC 30 , and the test piece was washed with a mineral oil-based emulsion type anti-rust cleaning solution, and then heated for 30 minutes from room temperature to 500°C. After raising the temperature to 500°C, it was immediately cooled to room temperature, and then subjected to soft nitriding treatment in a gas soft nitriding furnace (NH 3 gas:Rx gas = 60:40). The correlation between the soft nitriding treatment time and the thickness of the soft nitrided layer formed is as shown in a of FIG.

After cleaning the test piece with the anti-rust cleaning solution, it was placed in a gas soft-nitriding furnace without heating and subjected to soft-nitriding treatment. In this case, the correlation between the soft-nitriding treatment time and the thickness of the soft-nitrided layer is as shown in FIG. 1b.

As is clear from the relationship between a and b above, if an oxide film is formed by heating before nitrocarburizing, compared to the case where an oxide film is not formed, the nitrocarburizing treatment time is approximately 60% lower than when an oxide film is not formed. The thickness of the nitrocarburized layer becomes thicker. Therefore, a thick soft-nitrided layer can be obtained by applying the same soft-nitriding time as conventional methods,
The wear resistance of the surface of the cast iron material is greatly improved, and on the other hand, when obtaining a soft nitrided layer with the same thickness as before, the time required for soft nitriding treatment can be greatly shortened.

() The same cast iron test piece as in () above was cast, washed with a mineral oil-based emulsion type anti-rust cleaning solution, and then oxidized by changing the heating temperature as shown on the horizontal axis of the graph in Figure 2. After that, the test piece was cooled down to room temperature in a gas soft nitriding furnace (NH 3 gas: Rx gas = 60:40).
Soft-nitriding treatment was performed at 570°C for 4 hours. The thickness of the nitrocarburized layer at that time was as shown in parentheses in FIG. That is, heating at 400° C. or lower does not increase the thickness of the nitrocarburized layer, and there is almost no difference from the case without heating. It can be seen that when the temperature exceeds 400°C, the effect of increasing the thickness of the nitrocarburized layer increases rapidly. However, when the temperature exceeds 500°C, as mentioned above, the surface of the cast iron material becomes noticeably rough at the interface between the matrix and the graphite, and the difficulty of finishing increases, making it impractical. () in FIG. 2 shows the case where the material was charged without being cooled after the heat treatment, and the thickness of the nitrocarburized layer was larger than that in the case where the material was cooled after the heat treatment.

As is clear from the above explanation, according to the soft nitriding method of the present invention, the preliminary oxidation treatment is performed before the soft nitriding process, so the soft nitriding process is approximately 30% softer than the conventional soft nitriding process for the same soft nitriding time. This has the advantage that the thickness of the nitrided layer is increased, the quality is improved, and the processing time can be greatly shortened, resulting in cost reduction.
