Abstract

Generally, sintered products are nitrided for surface hardening. As a method of nitriding the product for surface hardening, there are a gas nitriding process and a plasma nitriding process.
In the sintered product, since the internal density is low and the gas easily enters the interior, it is difficult to obtain a nitrogen compound having a high nitrogen concentration with a high hardness on the outermost surface through the gas nitriding process.
Thus, the sintered product forms a high-hardness nitrogen compound layer on the surface of the product through the plasma nitridation process. At this time, it is necessary to clean and degrease the product in order to optimize the process.
However, in the case of the sintered product, the oil component remains inside, which is not completely removed by the cleaning and the atmospheric pressure degreasing process.
Accordingly, plasma is unstable due to the oil vapor generated by the oil remaining in the sintered product in the plasma nitridation process, and the plasma nitriding process becomes longer.
In addition, there is a problem that it takes a lot of time and cost to contaminate the plasma nitrification facility and the vacuum facility due to the vapor, and to maintain and repair the same.

3 and 4, a method of controlling a degassing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a product loading step S100 for charging a sintered product into a chamber and closing the door, A heating step (S300) for heating the chamber by operating a heating unit provided in the chamber; and a heating step (S300) for heating the chamber when the chamber reaches a predetermined temperature, And a vacuum cooling step (S400) for turning the chamber to a vacuum by operating a vacuum pump.
Here, the heating step S300 may include opening a vapor exhaust line (S310) for opening a vapor exhaust line valve provided in a pipe connecting the vapor storage tank and the dust collection unit to store the vapor discharged from the chamber, A pump line closing step S310 for closing a pump line valve provided in a pipe connecting a tank and a vapor cooling unit for cooling the vapor discharged from the vapor storage tank, And operating the heating unit to raise the temperature to 450 DEG C (S330).
