열처리 방법을 크게 구분하면 주조나 단조 후의 편석 및 잔류응력 등을 제거하여 균질화시키거나 또는 연화(軟化)를 목적으로 하는 어닐링(annealing), 결정립을 미세화하여 기계적 성질이나 피삭성을 향상시키기 위한 노멀라이징(normalizing), 경화(硬化)를 위하여 행하는 켄칭(quenching), 그리고 강인화를 위한 템퍼링(tempering) 처리 등으로 나눌 수 있다.When the heat treatment method is largely divided, it is possible to remove the segregation and residual stress after casting or forging, and to homogenize or soften the annealing and crystal grains for the purpose of softening to improve mechanical properties and machinability. It can be divided into normalizing, quenching for hardening, and tempering for toughening.
이 가운데 노멀라이징은 결정립을 미세화시켜서 강도증가를 꾀하고, 켄칭이나 어닐링을 위한 재가열시에 균일한 오스테나이트 상태로 만들어 주며, 주조품이나 단조품에 존재하는 편석을 제거하여 균일한 조직을 만들어 주는 열처리 방법으로서 보통 오스테이나이트 범위(A3 또는 Acm점보다 30∼50℃ 정도 높은 온도)로 가열하고 서서히 대기 중에서 냉각하거나 송풍하여 냉각하는 방법을 사용한다.Among these, normalizing is a heat treatment method that refines grains to increase strength, makes uniform austenite state when reheating for quenching or annealing, and removes segregation present in castings or forgings. Usually, a method of heating to an austenite range (a temperature of 30 to 50 ° C. higher than the A3 or Acm point) and gradually cooling in the air or blowing is used.

In general, slabs or ingots are cut and heated to the size of the product, and then pressed. The first forging is carried out to produce rough shaping. Next, the heat is re-heated to perform secondary forging to determine dimensions and shapes, and to perform heat treatment such as normalizing, quenching, and tempering to homogenize the structure and secure mechanical properties.
이때 상기와 같은 대형 링 단조품을 노멀라이징에 의해 열처리하고 냉각시킬 때 통상적으로 공기 중에서 공랭시키기 때문에 몇 가지 문제점이 있다.At this time, there are some problems because such a large ring forged product is usually air-cooled in air when heat-treated and cooled by normalizing.
도 1은 종래 노멀라이징 열처리시 냉각상태를 나타내는 연속냉각변태 그래프이다.1 is a continuous cooling transformation graph showing a cooling state in the conventional normalizing heat treatment.
도시된 바와 같이 시간에 대해 비례적으로 서서히 온도가 감소하므로 오스테나이트(austenite)로부터 페라이트(ferrite) 및 펄라이트(pearlite)와 같은 2차 조직으로의 변태는 매우 높은 온도(800℃ 이상)에서 일어나므로 조직의 결정입자가 커지게 된다. 이로 인해 노멀라이징이 완료된 제품의 인장강도나 저온충격특성 등의 기계적 성질이 다소 저하된다.As shown, since the temperature decreases slowly in proportion to time, the transformation from austenite to secondary tissues such as ferrite and pearlite occurs at very high temperatures (above 800 ° C). The grains in the tissue become large. As a result, mechanical properties such as tensile strength and low temperature impact characteristics of the finished product are slightly lowered.
상기와 같은 문제해결을 위해 송풍장치를 이용하여 어느 정도 급속냉각시킨 후 낮은 온도에서 페라이트 및 펄라이트 변태를 유도할 수는 있으나, 상기의 방법은 부품, 강판, 공구 등과 같은 소형 단조품에는 적합하나 대형의 링 단조품은 보통 직경이 5 ~ 6m 이상이고 두께가 두꺼워 단위질량당 표면적이 판재에 비해 상대적으로 작기 때문에 송풍장치로는 급속냉각이 어렵다. 왜냐하면 표면은 급속냉각되지만 중심부는 서냉되므로 표면과 내부를 동시에 저온으로 냉각시켜 저온에서 변태가 일어나도록 하기는 어렵다. In order to solve the above problems, it is possible to induce ferrite and pearlite transformation at a low temperature after rapid cooling to some extent by using a blower, but the above method is suitable for small forgings such as parts, steel sheets, tools, etc. Ring forgings are usually more than 5 ~ 6m in diameter and thick, so that the surface area per unit mass is relatively small compared to the plate material, it is difficult to rapidly cool the blower. Because the surface is rapidly cooled, but the central portion is slow cooling, it is difficult to cool the surface and the interior at the same time at low temperature, so that transformation at low temperature occurs.
이러한 문제 때문에 종래의 냉각장치 가운데 표면에 물을 분사하여 급속냉각시키는 장치가 있지만 이러한 장치를 사용하면 오히려 표면만 급랭되어 표면에 마르텐사이트(martensite) 조직이 생성되기 때문에 원하는 기계적 특성을 도리어 해칠 가능성이 있고 정밀한 물 분사량, 분사시간 및 냉각속도의 제어가 어렵다. Because of this problem, there is a device that rapidly cools by spraying water on the surface of the conventional cooling device, but using such a device rather than quenching only the surface to produce martensite (martensite) structure on the surface it is likely to harm the desired mechanical properties It is difficult to control precise water injection amount, injection time and cooling rate.
뿐만 아니라 중공관 형상의 제품의 경우 내주면에는 물이 분사되지 않아 냉각효율이 낮은 단점이 있다.In addition, in the case of the hollow tube-shaped products there is a disadvantage that the cooling efficiency is low because the water is not sprayed on the inner peripheral surface.

또 다른 목적은 노멀라이징 열처리물의 표면온도에 따라 냉각수 분사량 및 분사시간을 제어하여 저온에서 페라이트 및 펄라이트로 변태가 일어나게 함으로써 2차 조직의 결정입자를 미세하게 형성할 수 있는 중공관 형상의 열처리물 급속 워터냉각장치를 제공하는 것이다.Another purpose is to control the cooling water spraying amount and the spraying time according to the surface temperature of the normalizing heat treatment product, so that the transformation occurs into ferrite and pearlite at low temperature, so that the hollow tube-shaped heat treatment product rapid water can form fine crystal grains of the secondary structure. It is to provide a cooling device.

본 발명은 도시된 바와 같이 크게 냉각수 공급부(10), 분사부(20), 승강수단(30), 제어부(40)로 이루어진다.As shown in the present invention, the cooling water supply unit 10, the injection unit 20, the lifting unit 30, and the control unit 40 are largely shown.

That is, the coolant stored in the coolant tank 12 is supplied to the injection unit 20 to be described later through the hose 14 by the pump, and the opening and closing and supply amount adjustment are performed by the valve 16.
다음은 도 2와 도 3을 참조하여 상기 분사부(20)에 대해 설명하기로 한다. Next, the injection unit 20 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.
도 3은 도 2에 도시된 분사부를 나타내는 사시도이다.3 is a perspective view illustrating the spray unit illustrated in FIG. 2.
상기 분사부(20)는 열처리된 중공관 형상의 대형 단조품(이하 '열처리물')에 물을 분사하여 냉각시키는 것으로서 열처리물(w)의 외주면에 분사하는 외부분사체(22)와, 내주면에 분사하는 내부분사체(24)로 이루어지며, 상기 외부분사체(22)와 내부분사체(24)는 상호 연통되도록 연결체(26)로 연결된다.The injection unit 20 is to cool the water by spraying a large heat forged product (hereinafter referred to as 'heat treatment') of the hollow tube heat-treated heat-treated to the outer peripheral surface 22 and the inner peripheral surface It is made of an inner injection body 24 for injection, the outer injection body 22 and the inner injection body 24 is connected to the connecting body 26 to communicate with each other.
도 3에 나타난 바와 같이 상기 외부분사체(22)와 내부분사체(24)는 동일한 형상을 가지되, 상기 외부분사체(22)는 열처리물(w)의 외주면을 감싸도록 구성되고, 상기 내부분사체(24)는 열처리물(w)의 내부공간에 배치된다.As shown in FIG. 3, the outer sprayer 22 and the inner sprayer 24 have the same shape, but the outer sprayer 22 is configured to surround the outer circumferential surface of the heat treatment material w. The partial carcass 24 is disposed in the inner space of the heat treatment material w.
좀더 자세하게 설명하자면, 상기 외부분사체(22)의 구조는 열처리물(w)의 외주면을 둘러싸도록 파이프가 환형을 이루는 형상을 가지면서 상하 일정간격으로 다수개가 적층된 수평분사관(22a)과, 상기 수평분사관(22a)들을 상하 일정간격으로 고정하는 동시에 상호 연통되도록 상기 수평분사관(22a)에 수직 결합되는 직관 형상의 수직분사관(22b)과, 상기 수평분사관(22a)과 수직분사관(22b) 상에 등 간격으로 형성되는 다수개의 노즐(22c)로 구성된다.In more detail, the structure of the external injector 22 has a horizontal injector pipe 22a in which a plurality of layers are stacked at regular intervals while having a pipe-shaped annular shape so as to surround the outer circumferential surface of the heat treatment material w; A vertical injection pipe 22b having a straight pipe shape that is vertically coupled to the horizontal injection pipe 22a so that the horizontal injection pipes 22a are fixed at a predetermined interval up and down and communicate with each other, and the vertical injection pipe 22a is perpendicular to the horizontal injection pipe 22a. It consists of the several nozzle 22c formed at equal intervals on the yarn pipe 22b.
이러한 형상은 중공관 형상의 열처리물(w) 표면에 골고루 냉각수를 분사하여 균일한 냉각속도를 얻기 위한 것으로서 상기 노즐(22c)은 각각 열처리물(w)의 외주면을 향하도록 상기 수평분사관(22a) 및 수직분사관(22b)의 내측으로 설치된다.  This shape is to obtain a uniform cooling rate by spraying the cooling water evenly on the surface of the heat treatment material (w) of the hollow tube shape, the nozzle 22c is directed toward the outer peripheral surface of the heat treatment material (w), respectively, the horizontal injection pipe (22a) ) And the vertical injection pipe 22b.
바람직한 것은 상기 노즐(22c)은 다양한 종류가 결합될 수 있는데, 분사방식의 변경이 가능하도록 교체 가능한 구조를 가지는 것이 좋다. 왜냐하면 정밀한 냉각속도 제어를 위해서는 물을 안개와 같이 분무하는 노즐이 필요하기 때문이다.Preferably, the nozzle 22c may be combined in various kinds, and it is preferable to have a replaceable structure to change the injection method. This is because precise cooling rate control requires a nozzle that sprays water as fog.
따라서, 일반적인 냉각의 경우 스프레이와 같이 물을 분사하는 노즐을 설치하지만 정밀한 냉각을 요하는 경우 분무가 가능한 노즐로 교체하여 냉각하는 것이 효과적이다.Therefore, in the case of general cooling, it is effective to install a nozzle for injecting water like a spray, but when precise cooling is required, the nozzle is cooled and replaced with a nozzle capable of spraying.
그래서 상기 노즐(22c)을 용이하게 교체하기 위해 상기 수평분사관(22a), 수직분사관(22b) 상에 홀이 형성되도록 하고 각 홀에 각각의 상기 노즐(22c)을 나사결합 방식으로 고정하는 것이 일반적일 것이나 이에 한정되는 것은 아니다.In order to easily replace the nozzle 22c, holes are formed on the horizontal injection pipe 22a and the vertical injection pipe 22b, and the respective nozzles 22c are fixed to each hole by screwing. Will be common, but is not limited to such.
상기 내부분사체(24)의 구조 역시 동일하나 열처리물(w)의 내부에 수용되어야 하므로 수평분사관(24a)의 직경이 열처리물(w)의 내경보다 작아야 한다.The structure of the internal spraying body 24 is also the same, but the diameter of the horizontal spray pipe 24a should be smaller than the inner diameter of the heat treating material w because it must be accommodated inside the heat treating material w.
이때 상기 내부분사체(24) 상에 형성된 노즐(24c)은 열처리물(w)의 내주면을 향하도록 상기 수평분사관(24a) 및 수직분사관(24b)의 외측으로 설치되며 역시 다른 타입으로 교체 가능하게 결합된다. At this time, the nozzle 24c formed on the inner spray body 24 is installed outside the horizontal spray pipe 24a and the vertical spray pipe 24b so as to face the inner circumferential surface of the heat treatment material w and is also replaced with another type. Possibly combined.
한편, 상기 외부분사체(22)와 내부분사체(24)는 연결체(26)로 상호 연통되는데, 상기 연결체(26)는 파이프가 바람직하며 도시된 바와 같이 그 형상이 '∩' 로 이루어질 수 있고 맨 상측에 있는 상기 수평분사관(22a, 24a)을 상호 연결한다. 물론 다수개가 일정간격으로 원을 그리며 배치되는 것이 바람직하다.On the other hand, the outer sprayer 22 and the inner sprayer 24 are connected to each other by a connecting body 26, the connecting body 26 is preferably a pipe, as shown in the shape of the '∩' And the horizontal injection pipes 22a and 24a at the top. Of course, it is preferable that a plurality is arranged in a circle at regular intervals.
또한 상기 연결체(26) 다수개 중 어느 하나의 상측에는 상기 호스(14)와 연결되어 상기 냉각수 공급부(10)로부터 냉각수가 공급된다.In addition, the upper side of any one of a plurality of the connecting body 26 is connected to the hose 14 is supplied with the cooling water from the cooling water supply unit (10).
이와 같이 상기 외부분사체(22), 내부분사체(24), 연결체(26)가 상술한 바와 같은 구조를 가지므로 중공관 형상의 열처리물(w)이 상기 분사부(20)의 내부로 수용되면서 상기 외부분사체(22)와 내부분사체(24) 사이에 위치하게 되어 냉각수 분사가 이루어지며 균일한 냉각을 수행할 수 있다.As described above, since the outer sprayer 22, the inner sprayer 24, and the connecting body 26 have the above-described structure, the heat-treated material w of the hollow tube shape is introduced into the spray unit 20. While being accommodated, it is positioned between the outer sprayer 22 and the inner sprayer 24, so that cooling water is sprayed and uniform cooling can be performed.
도 4를 참조하여 상기 분사부의 다른 실시 예를 설명한다. 도 4는 본 발명의 분사부의 다른 실시 예를 나타내는 사시도이다.Another embodiment of the injection unit will be described with reference to FIG. 4. 4 is a perspective view showing another embodiment of the injection unit of the present invention.
상기 내부분사체(24)는 다른 형태로 실시될 수 있는데, 도시된 바와 같이 양측이 밀폐된 파이프 형상의 중심분사관(24d) 외면에 다수개의 노즐(24c)이 결합된 형태이다.The internal spraying body 24 may be implemented in other forms. As shown in the drawing, a plurality of nozzles 24c are coupled to the outer surface of the central injection pipe 24d having a sealed pipe shape on both sides thereof.
상기 중심분사관(24d)과 상기 외부분사체(22)의 수평분사관(22a)은 연결체(26)로 연결되는데 직선형태의 파이프 형상을 가질 수 있다.The central injection pipe 24d and the horizontal injection pipe 22a of the external injection body 22 are connected to the connection body 26 and may have a straight pipe shape.
또한 상기 호스(14)는 상기 중심분사관(24d)의 상측에 연결되어 상기 중심분사관(24d)으로 물이 공급되게 한다.In addition, the hose 14 is connected to the upper side of the center injection pipe 24d to allow water to be supplied to the center injection pipe 24d.
여기서, 열처리물(w)의 내경이 큰 경우에 상기 중심분사관(24d)과 열처리물(w)의 내주면 사이의 거리가 멀기 때문에 상기 중심분사관(24d)의 노즐(24c)에서 분사되는 냉각수가 열처리물(w)의 내주면에 잘 전달되지 않게 된다. 따라서, 도 4의 확대도에 나타난 바와 같이 상기 중심분사관(24d)의 노즐(24c)을 분리하고 파이프 형상의 분사연장관(28)을 장착할 수 있는데, 상기 분사연장관(28)의 단부에 분리한 노즐(24c)을 결합시켜 냉각수 분사거리를 연장할 수 있다. 이렇게 함으로써 열처리물(w)의 내주면에 근접하여 냉각수를 분사할 수 있으므로 좀더 냉각효율을 높일 수 있을 것이다.Here, when the inner diameter of the heat treatment material w is large, the distance between the center injection pipe 24d and the inner circumferential surface of the heat treatment material w is large, so that the coolant sprayed from the nozzle 24c of the center injection pipe 24d. Is hardly transferred to the inner circumferential surface of the heat treatment product (w). Therefore, as shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 4, the nozzle 24c of the central injection pipe 24d can be separated and a pipe-shaped injection extension tube 28 can be mounted, which is separated at the end of the injection extension tube 28. One nozzle 24c may be combined to extend the cooling water injection distance. By doing so, the cooling water may be injected close to the inner circumferential surface of the heat treatment product (w), thereby further increasing the cooling efficiency.
한편, 본 발명에서 상기 분사부(20) 외측에는 도 2에 도시된 것 처럼 에어블로워(50)가 더 구비될 수 있다. 상기 에어블로워(50)는 압축공기를 열처리물(w)의 외주면 특히, 열처리물(w)의 상단 부분에 분사하여 잔존하는 냉각수를 불어 제거한다.On the other hand, in the present invention, the air blower 50 may be further provided on the outside of the injection unit 20 as shown in FIG. The air blower 50 blows compressed air to the outer circumferential surface of the heat treated material w, in particular, the upper end of the heat treated material w to blow out the remaining cooling water.
중공관 형상의 열처리물(w)의 두께가 큰 경우(약 50mm) 냉각수를 분사하여 냉각할 때 상단부에 수분이 잔존하게 되는데, 이것은 균일한 냉각을 방해할 가능성이 있다. 따라서, 상기 에어블로워(50)로 수분을 제거하게 된다.When the thickness of the hollow tube-shaped heat-treated material w is large (about 50 mm), water remains at the upper end when cooling by spraying the cooling water, which may interfere with uniform cooling. Therefore, the air blower 50 removes moisture.
상기 에어블로워(50)는 다양한 형상을 가질 수 있으며, 바람직하게는 상기 외부분사체(22)와 유사한 형상을 가지고 압축공기가 분사될 수 있게 구성될 수 있는데, 도시된 바처럼 다양한 열처리물(w)의 높이에 대응하도록 상하로 복수개의 에어노즐이 형성되게 하는 것이 좋을 것이다.The air blower 50 may have various shapes. Preferably, the air blower 50 may have a shape similar to that of the external spraying body 22, and may be configured to allow compressed air to be injected. As shown in FIG. It may be good to have a plurality of air nozzles formed up and down to correspond to the height of).
다음으로 도 2를 참조하여 승강수단(30)에 대해 설명하자면, 상기 승강수단(30)은 상기 분사부(20)를 열처리물(w) 상측에 위치하게 하고 상하로 이송되게 하는 것으로서 도시된 바와 같이 상기 분사부(20) 양측으로 직립 설치된 가이드(32)와, 상기 분사부(20) 일측에 고정되고 상기 가이드(32)에 삽입된 상태로 상하 이동이 가능한 승강지지구(34), 상기 분사부(20) 상측에 설치된 모터(36), 상기 분사부(20) 상부에 결합되는 체인(38) 및 웨이트밸런싱(39)으로 이루어질 수 있다.Next, the lifting means 30 will be described with reference to FIG. 2. As shown in FIG. 2, the lifting means 30 moves the spraying part 20 above the heat treatment material w and moves up and down. As described above, the guide 32 installed upright on both sides of the injection part 20, and the lifting support 34 which is fixed to one side of the injection part 20 and can be moved up and down in the state inserted into the guide 32, the minute It may be composed of a motor 36 installed on the upper part of the sand 20, the chain 38 and the weight balancing 39 coupled to the upper portion of the injection unit 20.
상기 분사부(20)의 승강은 상기 가이드(32)를 따라 이루어지는데, 상기 가이드(32)는 레일방식에 의해 승강을 유도하며, 승강을 위해서 모터(36)를 사용하는데, 상기 모터(36)는 후술하는 제어부(40)에 의해 정, 역회전이 가능하고 체인(38)이 감겨진 상태이다. 그리고 상기 체인(38)의 일단은 상기 분사부(20)의 연결체(26) 상부에 결합, 고정되고, 타단은 상기 모터(36)를 경유하여 무게추에 해당하는 웨이트밸런싱(39)에 결합된다.The lifting and lowering of the injection unit 20 is made along the guide 32. The guide 32 induces the lifting by the rail method, and uses the motor 36 for the lifting. The motor 36 Is a state in which forward and reverse rotation are possible by the control unit 40 to be described later, and the chain 38 is wound. One end of the chain 38 is coupled to and fixed to an upper portion of the connection body 26 of the injection part 20, and the other end is coupled to the weight balancing 39 corresponding to the weight via the motor 36. do.
따라서, 상기 모터(36)의 구동에 의해 상기 분사부(20) 전체가 상하로 이동가능하며 이때, 상기 웨이트밸런싱(39)은 무게추로 작용하여 내려가면 상기 분사부(20)가 상승하게 되고 올라가면 상기 분사부(20)가 하강하게 될 것이다.Accordingly, the entire spraying unit 20 is movable up and down by the driving of the motor 36. At this time, when the weight balancing 39 acts as a weight, the spraying unit 20 is raised. If you go up, the injection unit 20 will be lowered.
한편, 상기 모터(36)는 제어부(40)에 의해 회전이 제어되어 상기 분사부(20)를 오실레이션(oscillation) 시킬 수 있다. 다시 말해, 상기 분사부(20)를 일정 간격을 두고 반복적으로 상하 왕복하게 할 수 있다. 이것은 노즐에서 분사되는 냉각수는 방사형으로 퍼지기 때문에 열처리물(w)의 표면에 분사되는 양이 각 지점 마다 차이가 난다. 따라서, 상술한 바와 같이 오실레이션을 주면 열처리물(w) 표면에 골고루 냉각수가 분사되는 효과를 거둘 수 있다.On the other hand, the motor 36 may be controlled by the control unit 40 to oscillate the injection unit 20. In other words, the injection unit 20 may be repeatedly reciprocated up and down at a predetermined interval. This is because the cooling water sprayed from the nozzle is radially spread, and the amount sprayed on the surface of the heat treatment material (w) is different at each point. Therefore, when the oscillation is performed as described above, the cooling water may be evenly sprayed on the surface of the heat treatment material w.
다음으로 제어부(40)에 대해 설명한다.Next, the control part 40 is demonstrated.
상기 제어부(40)는 상기 냉각수 공급부(10)에서 상기 호스(14)를 통해 공급되는 공급량을 제어하여 상기 노즐(22c, 24c)을 통해 분사되는 냉각수 분사량 및 분사시간을 제어하는 것으로 광학온도센서(42)와 프로그램이 내재된 컴퓨터(44)로 구성된다.The control unit 40 controls the amount of the water supplied through the nozzles 22c and 24c by controlling the amount of water supplied through the hose 14 from the coolant supply unit 10 to control the amount of injection and the injection time of the optical temperature sensor ( 42) and the computer 44 in which the program is embedded.
상기 광학온도센서(42)는 물체의 표면의 온도를 측정하는 센서로서, 물체에 접촉하지 않고 설치하여 측정하는 센서이며 공지된 구성이다. 도시된 바와 같이 상기 열처리물(w)에서 일정거리 이격된 곳에 설치되어 온도를 측정한다.The optical temperature sensor 42 is a sensor for measuring the temperature of the surface of the object, the sensor is installed and measured without contacting the object and is a known configuration. As shown in the heat treatment (w) is installed at a predetermined distance spaced apart to measure the temperature.
그리고 상기 컴퓨터(44)는 상기 광학온도센서(42)로부터 측정된 열처리물(w)의 온도 측정값에 따라 냉각수의 분사량과 분사시간을 제어하도록 내부에 프로그램이 되어 있다.The computer 44 is programmed therein to control the injection amount and the injection time of the coolant according to the temperature measurement value of the heat treatment product w measured by the optical temperature sensor 42.
보충 설명하자면, 시간에 따라 냉각속도를 제어하기 위해 급속냉각이 필요한 시점에는 냉각수 분사량 및 분사시간을 늘이고 서냉이 요구될 경우 분사량과 분사시간을 적절하게 줄이는 식의 제어를 실시한다. 또한 열처리물(w)의 형상, 크기, 종류에 따라 분사량과 분사시간을 결정하도록 프로그램화되어 있다.Supplementally, when rapid cooling is required to control the cooling rate according to the time, control is performed to increase the cooling water injection amount and the injection time and to appropriately reduce the injection amount and the injection time when slow cooling is required. It is also programmed to determine the injection amount and the injection time according to the shape, size and type of the heat treatment product w.
이러한 제어는 상기 냉각수 공급부(10)의 밸브(16)를 개폐하거나 공급량을 조절함으로써 가능한데 공지된 방법이므로 자세한 설명은 생략한다. Such control is possible by opening or closing the valve 16 of the cooling water supply unit 10 or adjusting the supply amount, and thus a detailed description thereof will be omitted.
도 5는 본 발명의 센터링수단을 나타내는 평면도이다.5 is a plan view showing a centering means of the present invention.
본 발명에서 상기 분사부(20) 일측에는 열처리물(w)의 중심과 분사부(20)의 중심이 일치하도록 열처리물(w)의 위치를 조정할 수 있는 센터링수단(60)이 더 구비될 수 있다.In the present invention, one side of the injection unit 20 may be further provided with a centering means 60 that can adjust the position of the heat treatment (w) so that the center of the heat treatment (w) and the center of the injection unit 20 to match. have.
현장에서 대형 열처리물(w)은 지게차와 같은 장비로 이송하여 상기 분사부(20)의 하측에 위치시킬 때 열처리물(w)의 중심과 분사부(20)의 중심이 일치시키는 것이 매우 어렵다. 서로 중심이 일치하지 않으면 냉각작업시 열처리물(w)의 표면에 분사되는 냉각수의 양이나 세기에 차이가 발생하므로 균일한 냉각이 어렵다.It is very difficult to match the center of the heat treatment material (w) and the center of the injection unit 20 when the large heat treatment material (w) in the field is transferred to the equipment such as a forklift and positioned below the injection unit (20). If the centers do not coincide with each other, uniform cooling is difficult because a difference occurs in the amount or intensity of the cooling water sprayed on the surface of the heat treatment material w during the cooling operation.
따라서, 도시된 바와 같이 열처리물(w)을 위치시키는 곳 일측에 'V'자 형상의 고정구(62)와 상기 고정구(62)를 전후로 구동하는 구동실린더(64)로 구성될 수 있는 센터링수단(60)이 구비된다.Thus, as shown in the centering means which may be composed of a 'V' shaped fixture 62 and a drive cylinder 64 for driving the fixture 62 back and forth on one side where the heat treatment material (w) is located ( 60).
즉, 열처리물(w)의 외경에 의해 상기 고정구(62)의 위치를 결정한 다음 상기 구동실린더(64)를 전후로 구동하여 상기 고정구(62)를 원하는 위치에 정지시킨다. 그리고 상기 열처리물(w)의 외주면이 상기 고정구(62)에 밀착되도록 위치시키면 정확하게 중심을 맞출 수 있게 된다.That is, the position of the fixture 62 is determined by the outer diameter of the heat treatment material w, and then the drive cylinder 64 is driven back and forth to stop the fixture 62 at a desired position. When the outer circumferential surface of the heat treatment material (w) is positioned to be in close contact with the fixture 62, the center can be accurately aligned.
참고로 상기 분사부(20) 상측에는 상기 분사부(20) 내에서 열처리물(w)에 냉각수가 분사될 때 수증기가 다량 발생되는데, 이러한 수증기를 흡입하여 배출하거나 다른 열교환기에 재활용할 수 있도록 수증기 배출구(70)가 더 구비되는 것이 바람직하다.For reference, a large amount of water vapor is generated when the cooling water is injected into the heat treatment material (w) in the injection part 20 above the injection part 20. The water vapor can be sucked out and discharged or recycled to another heat exchanger. It is preferable that the outlet 70 is further provided.
이하에서는 도 5를 참조하여 본 발명에 의한 열처리물을 냉각하는 방법 및 열처리물의 기계적 특성 시험결과에 대해 언급하고자 한다.Hereinafter, referring to FIG. 5, the method of cooling the heat treated material and the mechanical property test result of the heat treated product will be mentioned.
도 6은 본 발명에 의한 열처리시 냉각상태를 나타내는 연속냉각변태 그래프이다. 여기서 연속냉각변태 그래프(continous cooling transformation diagram)는 시간에 따라 열처리물의 냉각상태를 온도로 나타낸 곡선으로 냉각경로에 따라 변태시점을 알 수 있는 그래프이다.6 is a continuous cooling transformation graph showing a cooling state during the heat treatment according to the present invention. Here, the continuous cooling transformation diagram is a graph showing the cooling state of the heat treated material with temperature as a time graph showing the time of transformation according to the cooling path.
먼저, 열처리물(w)을 900℃ 이상으로 가열하여 오스테나이트화한 후 상기 분사부(20) 하측에 설치한다. 이때, 열처리물(w)의 외경에 의해 상기 고정구(62)의 위치를 결정하고 고정시킨 다음 열처리물(w)을 상기 고정구(62)에 밀착시켜 열처리물(w)의 중심과 상기 분사부(20)의 중심을 일치시킨다. 그리고 상기 승강수단(30)을 작동하여 상기 분사부(20)가 하강하여 열처리물(w)이 상기 분사부(20) 내에 수용되도록 한다.First, the heat treatment material (w) is heated to 900 ° C or more to austenite, and then installed below the injection unit (20). At this time, the position of the fixture 62 is determined and fixed by the outer diameter of the heat treated material w, and then the heat treated material w is brought into close contact with the fixture 62 so that the center of the heat treated material w and the injection unit ( 20) coincide with the center. Then, the lifting means 30 is operated so that the spraying part 20 is lowered so that the heat treatment material w is accommodated in the spraying part 20.
이때 상기 광학온도센서(42)에서 열처리물(w)의 온도를 감지하고 상기 컴퓨터(44)에 프로그램화된 대로 냉각수 분사량과 분사시간을 결정하여 전기적 신호로 출력하면 상기 밸브(16)의 작동에 의해 냉각수가 상기 호스(14)를 통해 고압으로 상기 분사부(20)의 연결체(26)에 공급된다.At this time, the optical temperature sensor 42 detects the temperature of the heat treatment material (w), and determines the amount of cooling water injection and the injection time as programmed in the computer 44 and outputs the electrical signal to the operation of the valve 16 Cooling water is thereby supplied to the connecting body 26 of the spraying unit 20 at high pressure through the hose 14.
상기 연결체(26)에 유입된 냉각수는 상기 외부분사체(22) 및 내부분사체(24)로 각각 공급되고 상기 노즐(22c, 24c)을 통해 열처리물(w)을 향해 분사된다.Cooling water introduced into the connecting body 26 is supplied to the outer sprayer 22 and the inner sprayer 24, respectively, and sprayed toward the heat-treated material w through the nozzles 22c and 24c.
도 6에 도시된 바와 같이 초기시간(약 10s) 동안 열처리물(w)은 서냉되도록 냉각수를 약하게 분사하여야 하는데, 만일 다량의 냉각수를 분사하여 급랭되면 바로 마르텐사이트 조직으로 변태가 발생하기 때문에 이것을 방지해야 한다.As shown in FIG. 6, during the initial time (about 10 s), the heat-treated material w should be sprayed weakly so that the cooling solution is slow cooled. If a large amount of coolant is sprayed and quenched, the transformation occurs to the martensite structure. Should be.
그리고 10s 정도부터 냉각수를 다량으로 강하게 분사하여 열처리물(w)의 온도가 550℃ ~ 600℃ 가 될 때까지 급랭시킨다. 이러한 급속냉각으로 인해 그래프에 도시된 바와 같이 냉각곡선은 낮은 온도에서 페라이트(723℃ 이하) 및 펄라이트(600℃ 이하)로의 변태가 진행된다. 낮은 온도에서 변태가 발생하도록 함으로써 2차 조직의 결정입자의 성장이 지연되고 변태 핵생성 사이트가 증가하여 입도가 미세하게 형성된다. 따라서 미세한 조직으로 인해 기계적 강도와 인성이 크게 증가한다.Then, about 10 s, a large amount of cooling water is strongly sprayed and quenched until the temperature of the heat treatment product w reaches 550 ° C to 600 ° C. Due to this rapid cooling, the cooling curve is transformed into ferrite (723 ° C. and below) and pearlite (600 ° C. and below) at low temperatures. By causing transformation at low temperature, the growth of crystal grains in secondary tissues is delayed and the transformation nucleation site is increased to form fine grains. Therefore, the microstructure increases the mechanical strength and toughness significantly.
짧은 시간 내에 급속냉각시킨 후 약 1000s까지 지속적으로 냉각수를 약하게 분사하여 항온을 유지한다. 왜냐하면 대형 단조품의 경우 두께가 두꺼워 표면과 달리 내부는 빨리 냉각되지 않아 표면보다 온가 높으므로 냉각수를 분사하지 않으면 표면의 온도가 다시 올라갈 수 있으므로 550℃ ~ 600℃ 구간에서 항온을 유지하기 위해 상기 컴퓨터(44)에 프로그램된 대로 적절하게 냉각수를 분사한다. 결국 이 항온구간에서 표면뿐 아니라 내부까지 변태가 이루어진다.After rapid cooling in a short time, the cooling water is continuously sprayed lightly to about 1000 s to maintain a constant temperature. Because large forgings have a thick thickness, unlike the surface, the inside is not cooled quickly, so it is warmer than the surface. Therefore, if the coolant is not injected, the temperature of the surface may rise again. Spray coolant as appropriate in 44). As a result, transformation occurs not only on the surface but also inside.
상기와 같은 항온구간이 지나면 다시 냉각수를 좀 더 분사하여 냉각을 마무리한다.After the constant temperature section as described above, the cooling water is sprayed again to finish cooling.
이러한 냉각경로를 거치면 저온에서 변태가 발생하여 미세한 입자의 강(steel)이 얻어지며 이로 인해 종전에 대기 중에서 서냉되면서 고온에서 변태가 이루어져 얻어진 강보다 인장강도나 인성에 있어서 더 우수하다.Through the cooling path, transformation occurs at low temperature to obtain fine grain of steel, which is superior in tensile strength or toughness than steel obtained by transformation at high temperature while being slowly cooled in the air.
이러한 결과는 인장강도 실험 및 저온충격실험을 통해 비교해 볼 수 있는데 그 결과는 다음과 같다.These results can be compared through tensile strength test and low temperature impact test. The results are as follows.

여기서, 저온충격시험은 'V' 노치 시험편을 -50℃로 냉각시켜 충격을 가하는 시험을 나타내는데 기존에 비해 인장특성이 현저하게 상승됨을 알 수 있다.Here, the low temperature impact test represents a test in which the 'V' notched test piece is cooled to -50 ° C. and subjected to an impact, and it can be seen that the tensile properties are significantly increased compared with the conventional one.
또한, 도 7은 종래 열처리물의 표면조직을 확대한 사진, 도 8은 종래 열처리물의 내부조직을 확대한 사진, 도 9는 본 발명에 의한 열처리물의 표면조직을 확대한 사진, 도 10은 본 발명에 의한 열처리물의 내부조직을 확대한 사진이다.In addition, Figure 7 is an enlarged photograph of the surface texture of the conventional heat treatment, Figure 8 is an enlarged photograph of the internal structure of the conventional heat treatment, Figure 9 is an enlarged photograph of the surface texture of the heat treatment according to the present invention, Figure 10 is the present invention This is an enlarged photo of the internal structure of the heat treatment material.
종래의 경우 도 7과, 도 8에서 볼 수 있듯이 조직이 비교적 조대하며 표면과 내부의 조직도 결정립의 크기가 크게 차이 남을 볼 수 있다. 즉, 내부는 급속 냉각되지 못하여 조직이 더 조대화 된 상태인 것이다.In the conventional case, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the tissues are relatively coarse, and the size of the grains on the surface and the inside tissues can be seen to be significantly different. In other words, the inside is not rapidly cooled and the tissue is more coarse.
그러나 본 발명에 의한 경우 도 9와 도 10에서 볼 수 있는 바와 같이 종래에 비해 조직이 매우 미세화되어 있음을 알 수 있을 뿐 아니라 표면과 내부의 조직 크기도 크게 차이가 없다. 즉, 표면과 내부가 균일하게 냉각이 이루어져 기계적인 특성이 매우 향상되었음을 짐작할 수 있다. However, in the case of the present invention, as can be seen in Figures 9 and 10 it can be seen that the tissue is very fine compared to the conventional as well as the size of the surface and the internal tissue is not significantly different. That is, it can be assumed that the surface and the inside are cooled uniformly, and thus the mechanical properties are greatly improved.
이상과 같이 본 발명은 중공관 형상의 대형 단조제품을 열처리(노멀라이징)할 때 내외주면에 냉각수를 분사하여 냉각하고 컴퓨터에 의해 냉각속도를 제어함으로써 기계적 특성을 향상시킬 수 있는 중공관 형상의 열처리물 급속 워터냉각장치를 제공하는 것이며 도면을 참조하여 설명한 것은 단지 일 실시 예에 지나지 않으므로 본 발명의 진정한 기술적 보호범위는 청구범위에 의해 판단되어야 할 것이다.As described above, in the present invention, when heat treatment (normalizing) a large forging product having a hollow tube shape, a hollow tube-shaped heat treatment product which can improve mechanical properties by spraying cooling water on the inner and outer circumferential surfaces and controlling the cooling rate by a computer.
