Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a process for rendering a steel piece superficially hard and corrosion resistant; it also concerns the piece obtained by the carrying out of this process and the use of the latter.
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy this drawback and to provide a process for simultaneously hardening such steels and make them corrosion resistant.
  • the process of the invention is characterized by the fact that an intermediate or first layer of at least one passive metal is applied onto the steel piece, said layer difiusing at least partially into the base metal, and that a hardening layer consisting of a metal carbide, nitride, boride, or silicide is thereafter applied chemically in the gas-phase.
  • passive metal is utilized as defining a metal characterized by resistance to corrosion-socalled passivity to chemical attack-and is to be interpreted as such when reference is made thereto throughout the specification and in the claims.
  • the piece obtained by the carrying out of this process is characterized by the fact that it is made of a steel base coated with an intermediate or first layer of a passive metal diifusing at least partially into the base metal, this layer being itself coated with a hardening layer consisting of a metal carbide, nitride or silicide.
  • the above mentioned first layer of at least one passive metal is deposited, as is the hardening layer, in the gas-phase.
  • the metal used can be chromium, tantalum, aluminum, silicon and nickel, the latter being only considered, however, when the second or hardening layer 3,796,588 Patented Mar. 12,, 1974 does not consist of titanium carbide.
  • chromium experiments have shown that the metal deposited forms, together with the carbon of the steel, chromium carbides which fit particularly well, in a carbide containing base, for the subsequent deposition of the titanium carbide hardening layer.
  • the starting material is a chromium halide, for instance chromium trichloride known in the trade under the name of CrCl Hexahydrate, written CrCl in Equations I and II for simplification, but which comprises actually chromium halides corresponding to numbers 2 and 3 of the chromium valences.
  • the reducing agent of reaction I is hydrogen which is progressively added to the chromium halide, whereas in Equation 11, the reducing agent, which is generally identical with the base metal, is iron.
  • the chromium layer which forms on the surface of the sample diffuses partially or entirely into it.
  • Deposition temperatures will be preferentially above 800 C. for having a high enough chromium chloride pressure.
  • austenite steels or steels containing elements taking part to the formation of the austenite phase e.g. Ni, Mn, Cu and N, the diffusion is strongly decreased.
  • Gaseous 'HCl can also be reacted with Cr metal to form CrCl which will be reduced thereafter to a layer of Cr metal.
  • a :1 to 20:1 mixture of argon and HCl is reacted, at a temperature above 800 C. (preferentially at 850 C.) on granulated or pulverized chromium evenly dispersed in a container entirely made of alumina.
  • the equilibrium reaction I applies there, but in the opposite direction.
  • the mixture obtained above, Cr/Ar/H /remainder of HCl is allowed to react with the substrate, either directly or diluted with H
  • Large volumes of gas under atmospheric or reduced pres sure (preferentially 50 to 100 torr) are used for eliminating, as quickly as possible, the gaseous products which are normally HCl and FeCl;.
  • the first layer with several metals, e.g. by the deposition of a first layer of Si and a second with Cr.
  • the final hardening coating that is the second layer, which is known as well as the methods for obtaining it,
  • titanium carbide a titanium compound such as TiCl is progressively evaporated from an evaporator for liquids and continuously added to a gaseous flow of hydrocarbons.
  • a titanium compound such as TiCl is progressively evaporated from an evaporator for liquids and continuously added to a gaseous flow of hydrocarbons.
  • hydrocarbons such as methane, acetylene or ethylene, which are added in their normal gaseous state, and dicyclopentadiene which must be vaporized beforehand.
  • a 1:1:100 to 5:5 :100 gaseous mixture of CH TiCl and H can be used on the base-material in an Inconel reactor, avoiding carefully all iron parts.
  • the said second layer can also be made of an alumina layer or, further, of a composite layer, e.g. of chromium carbide and titanium carbide or of titanium carbide and nitride for having color hues varying from golden to silvered.
