Description

Ion nitriding method for ultrahigh-strength stainless steel gear
Technical Field
The invention relates to an ion nitriding method for an ultrahigh-strength stainless steel gear, belonging to the technical field of chemical heat treatment.
Background
The ultrahigh-strength stainless steel is a metal structural material with highest tensile strength, best toughness and other comprehensive mechanical properties at present, is widely applied to the fields of aviation, aerospace and other high technologies, and becomes an irreplaceable material for main bearing members such as fighters, missiles, rocket shells, engines, precision mechanical transmission gears and the like. The requirements for ultra-high strength steels in gear applications include primarily ultra-high strength, high toughness, and corrosion resistance, among others, to meet their needs for reduced structural mass, reduced volume, extended life, and reliable service.
The gears can bear loads with different speeds and different sizes in the working process, and the gears can continuously generate mutual abrasion. Once the abrasion is too large, the gear meshing has errors, and the normal operation of a mechanical system is influenced. In order to ensure the normal work of the gear, the gear needs to be subjected to ion nitriding, so that the surface hardness is improved, the requirement on wear resistance is met, and the service life of a gear part is ensured.
The ion nitriding is to utilize the rarefied nitrogen-containing gas to generate glow discharge to bombard and heat the surface of the metal material and form nitride for strengthening. For the ultra-high strength stainless steel gear, the nitriding surface strengthening has obvious difficulty: 1) the content of alloy elements is high, the anti-infiltration effect is obvious, and the thickness of a nitriding layer is difficult to obtain. 2) The nitriding process can generate shielding phenomenon, so that the gear nitriding layer is not uniform. According to the ion glow discharge principle, during ion nitriding, the surface of a cathode workpiece is covered with a glow discharge layer. The modulus of the ultra-high strength stainless steel gear is 1, and the distance between teeth below a reference circle is smaller than the thickness of a cathode pressure drop layer, so that partial shielding phenomenon exists between the teeth below the reference circle, the diffusion of nitrogen atoms is inhibited, and finally the distribution of a gear tooth profile nitriding layer is uneven. 3) The conventional detection sample is generally a real object or a cylindrical test block with the diameter of 20 mm-25 mm and the height of 8 mm-10 mm. For the ultrahigh-strength stainless steel gear, a material object is used as a test piece, so that the cost is high; the test block is adopted as a test sample, and the structure of the test block cannot represent the actual nitriding effect of the tooth part.
