Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for nitrocarburizing metallic workpieces by treating the workpieces in a treatment atmosphere containing nitrogen, carbon monoxide and hydrogen at a treatment temperature in a treatment room, carbon dioxide being used as the carbon donor to generate the treatment atmosphere.
- the atomic nitrogen produced during ammonia splitting reacts particularly easily with the metal to form nitrides when it comes into contact with metal surfaces (hereinafter referred to as (N) a d).
- Different nitride phases can form in connection with iron.
- nitride phases in the form of so-called ⁇ -nitride (F ⁇ 2-3N) and ⁇ '-nitride (F ⁇ 4N) or mixtures of these nitrides, for example, are preferred with regard to high hardness and wear resistance.
- the reactions taking place during the nitride formation of Fe-containing metals can be described schematically using the following chemical equations:
- the carbon dioxide contents are usually between 4 and 10% by volume.
- the carbon dioxide is metered directly into the furnace chamber of the nitriding furnace, where it partially reacts with hydrogen according to the following reaction equation:
- a carbon activity (a c, B ), which is adapted to the prevailing conditions, settles down and can be defined according to the Boudouard reaction:
- K B denotes the constant of the Boudouard equilibrium.
- the maximum carbon activity is 1, which corresponds to the activity of pure graphite.
- K N nitriding index
- the known method is characterized in that the NH 3 gas throughput is kept constant and only the operating point of the pre-splitter in which the NH 3 split gas is generated is regulated.
- a high nitriding index requires a high ammonia content in the nitriding furnace, which in turn results in a high residual ammonia content in the furnace exhaust gas, which leaves the furnace unused.
- Substance such as methanol is fed into the furnace space.
- the CO-forming components such as methanol or CO 2 are thus fed directly into the treatment room.
- carburizing or carbonitriding this is effective due to the high temperatures involved, but not at the usual, relatively low nitriding temperatures of max. 580 ° C.
- methanol does not cleave stoichiometrically, but undesirable cleavage products such as CH 4 and other higher hydrocarbons, CO 2 , aldehydes, ketones, etc. are formed, some of which are toxic and corrosive when condensed.
- the cleavage of the methanol strongly depends on the conditions in the boiler room and on the surface of the batch, so that the desired furnace gas composition cannot be reproduced. This also has the consequence that soot deposits on the batch material and the boiler room surface due to uncontrolled cracking reactions or undesired carbides are formed.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of modifying the known method for nitrocarburizing metallic workpieces using carbon dioxide as a carbon donor so that the type and extent of nitride formation can be adjusted within a wide range.
- a carbon dioxide-containing gas stream is introduced into a reactor upstream of the treatment room and is modified therein by reaction with a hydrogen donor at a reaction temperature above the treatment temperature to give a carbonization gas which has a higher carbon activity than the carbon dioxide-containing gas stream at the treatment temperature.
- the gas stream containing carbon dioxide is fed to a reactor, modified therein in the direction of a higher carbon activity and then introduced into the treatment room as carbonizing gas.
- the modification is based on a
