Definitions
- An improved furnace of the rotating type comprises a rod-shaped or tubular heating core of graphite or carbonaceous material fixedly arranged in the central portion of the furnace.
- a rotaryvcylinder having an inner wall of graphite or carbonaceous material is secured to rotate around the heating core.
- a casing is provided with means for rotatably holding the rotary cylinder, an opening for feeding a raw material, means for supplying electric power, an opening for discharging a product and a gas flow opening and is secured to hold an atmosphere of carburization inside the furnace.
- This invention relates to a furnace for carburization, and more particularly it is concerned with a rotary furnace for carburization, which is suitable for the production of carbides of elements of Groups lV-A, V-A and VI-A of Periodic Table, actinide elements, boron and silicon.
- this method has a disadvantage that, since the reaction of forming these carbides is accompanied by the generation of heat, an abnormal generation of heat takes place in the lower portion of the boat, resulting in a localized grain growth, and the degree of cementation differs between the upper portion and lower portion of the boat in the carburization in hydrogen, being accompanied by cementation, resulting in unevenness of the quantity of carbon combined.
- it is necessary to advance the reaction in a continuous manner with agitation of the reactants.
- the accompanying drawings are to illustrate the principle and merits of the invention in more detail.
- FIG. 1 shows schematically one form of the rotary furnace for carburization according to the invention.
- FIG. 2. shows a cross sectional view of the furnace of 7 FIG. 1 at the central portion thereof.
- heating core 1 Located at the center of furnace body 18 is heating core 1, around which rotating cylinderv 10 and fixed cylinder 11 are arranged.
- FIG. 3 shows a dispersion of the quantity of carbon in tungsten carbide powder carburized by the prior art furnace.
- a rotary furnace for carburization which comprises a rod-shaped or tubular heating core of graphite or carbonaceous material fixedly positioned in the central portion of the furnace, a rotary cylinder having an inner wall of graphite or carbonaceous material and positioned to rotate coaxially around the heating core, and a casing provided with means for rotatably supporting the rotary cylinder, an opening for feeding a raw material, means for supplying electric power, an opening for discharging a product and a gas flow opening and being constructed to maintain an atmosphere of carburization within the furnace.
- the most important aspect of this furnace lies in that rotation of the rotary cylinder is independent of the fixed heating core and, consequently, sliding electrical contacts are unnecessary. Since the furnace'is of an internal heating type, an outer wall for shielding hydrogen gas can be kept at normal temperature by inserting a heat insulating mate rial between the inner and outer walls, and the problems of insulating materials can thus be solved.
- the rotating cylinder is modified into a double structure of a rotating cylinder and fixed cylinder.
- the fumace comprises a rod-shaped or tubular heating core of graphite or carbonaceous material fixedly positioned in the central portion of the furnace, a rotary cylinder having an inner wall of graphite or carbonaceous material and positioned to rotate coaxially around the heating core, a fixed cylinder fixedly positioned to surround the rotary cylinder, and a casing provided with means for rotatably supporting the rotary cylinder, means for fixedly supporting the fixed cylinder, an opening for feeding a raw material, means for supplying electric power, an opening for discharging a product, a gas flow opening, and being constructed to maintain an atmosphere of carburization with the furnace.
- carbides of high melting point metals such as tungsten, titanium, tantalum, columbium, hafnium, zirconium, vanadium, chromium and molybdenum having a substantially stoichiometric amount of combined carbon and a very narrow grain size distribution are economically produced from the high melting point metals or oxides thereof.
- high melting point metals such as tungsten, titanium, tantalum, columbium, hafnium, zirconium, vanadium, chromium and molybdenum having a substantially stoichiometric amount of combined carbon and a very narrow grain size distribution
- the furnace is of the internal heating type with a heating core provided therein, it is relatively easy to maintain high temperatures, the raw material is directly exposed to the heat radiation from the heating core, and the furnace can be adapted for the continuous production of hard carbides without the us e of expensive heat insulating materials.
- the heating core is fixedly arranged in the central portion of the furnace, the thermal efficiency is raised and a large electric current can be supplied independently of the rotating mechanism of the cylinder.
- the cylinder is of a double structure of a rotary cylinder and fixed cylinder, rotation of the cylinder can smoothly be effected, and accordingly, feeding of powdered raw materials can be carried out corresponding to movement of the powder in the cylinder. Moreover, leakage of hydrogen gas can be prevented.
- the furnace structure is so simple that the driving mechanism is composed of shafts only.
- Reactants fed into the rotary furnace of the invention flow down between the inner wall and the heating core little by little in the form of powder or granules.
- the diameter of the heating core and the inner diameter of the rotary cylinder may be varied with the quantity of reactants and reaction temperature. When it is further desired to increase the surface area of the heating core, it may be tubular shaped. Moreover, the inclination of the furnace body may be varied depending on the desired reaction speed.
- carbon heating core 1 is fixed by copper electrode 2 and furnished with a large electric current through bus bar 3, which is fixed by insulator 4 and supported by metal fitting 5. Copper electrode 2 is cooled by water supplied by conduit 8.
- Rotary cylinder or tube is located coaxially around heating core 1 and rotated within and in'contact with fixed cylinder or tube 1 1 and carbon ring 12. That is to say, rotary cylinder or tube.
- furnace 10 is set by carbon ring 12 and moved in fixed cylinder or tube 11.
- Fixed cylinder or tube 11 is positioned in the center of the furnace by carbon disk 13.
- the driving mechanism of rotary cylinder 10 consists of stainless steel gears 14 supported by carbon bearings 15 and shafts 17 in gear box 16, the driving being effected through shafts 17.
- the above mentioned mechanism is enclosed in furnace body or casing 18.
- the space between fixed cylinder ll and furnace body 18 is filled with heat insulating material 19 so that the temperature of the central portion may be raised up to 2,200C.
- l-Iydrogen gas enters hydrogen inlet 20 and leaves from hydrogen outlet 21.
- Teflon 22 is used for the purpose of insulation and preventing leakage of hydrogen from around bus bar 3.
- Furnace body 18 is provided with cooling water tube 23 on the outer surface thereof to prevent it from overheating.
- carbon tube pyrometer 31 for measurement of the outer surface temperature of rotary cylinder 10 is positioned to extend through furnace body 18 and fixed cylinder 11.
- Furnace body 18 is mounted on support frame 32 in such a manner that its inclination may be varied in accordance with the desired reaction speed.
- a raw material powder is charged in hopper 24 from a feed opening (not shown) of hopper cover 25 and moved downwardly by screw 26 upon rotation of shaft 27.
- EXAMPLE 2 Tungsten powder of 0.711. was mixed with 6.25 of carbon powder in a ball mill and the granulated powder having a grain size distribution of 1 mm to 0.02 mm was obtained. The resulting granulated powder was subjected to carburization reaction by the use of a rotary v furnace for carburization according to the invention as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, to obtain WC powder.
- the various conditions of the furnace are as follows:
- WC powder was added 7 of cobalt powder and mixed with acetone for 100 hours in a ball mill having an inner diameter of 200 mmqb and cylinder length of 270 mm, followed by drying by heating at 100 C.
