Description

本発明は、自動車、産業機械、農業機械等々の各種機械構造物において用いられる機械要素のうち歯車として利用される歯面強度に優れた歯車の製造方法および歯面強度に優れた歯車に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a manufacturing method of a gear excellent in tooth surface strength used as a gear and a gear excellent in tooth surface strength among mechanical elements used in various machine structures such as automobiles, industrial machines, agricultural machines and the like. is there.

この種の歯車においては、歯面での耐ピッティング性,耐摩耗性(あるいは、耐スコーリング性)に優れていることが要求されるが、このような歯面での耐ピッティング性,耐摩耗性(あるいは、耐スコーリング性)を向上させる場合には、浸炭焼入れや浸炭窒化焼入れなどの表面硬化処理を施すことによって、表面硬さを上昇させたり、硬化深さを増大させたりする方法が広く採用されている。   This type of gear is required to have excellent pitting resistance and wear resistance (or scoring resistance) on the tooth surface. To improve wear resistance (or scoring resistance), surface hardening treatment such as carburizing quenching or carbonitriding quenching is performed to increase the surface hardness or increase the curing depth. The method is widely adopted.

そして、このような表面硬化処理を施した場合に、表面からの深さとC量およびN量との関係は、例えば、図2に示すように、最表面のC量(0.7〜0.9重量%)は深さ方向に次第に減少するものとなっており、また、最表面のN量(0.1〜0.3重量%)は深さ方向に急激に減少するものとなっていた。   When such a surface hardening treatment is performed, the relationship between the depth from the surface, the C amount and the N amount is, for example, as shown in FIG. 9% by weight) gradually decreases in the depth direction, and the N amount (0.1 to 0.3% by weight) on the outermost surface decreases sharply in the depth direction. .

そこで、近年では、歯車に対する面圧負荷がさらに増大する傾向にあり、その対策として、焼入れ性の良くない異常組織を低減するために、含クロム鋼を浸炭処理し、浸炭処理後に温度を若干降下させて引続き窒化処理に移行するようにしたり、窒化処理前に再加熱処理するようにした方法(特許文献1および2)や、浸炭窒化処理により生成させた残留オーステナイトを加工硬化させて負荷能力を向上させるようにした方法(特許文献3)などが考えられた。

Therefore, in recent years, the surface pressure load on gears tends to increase further. As a countermeasure, chrome-containing steel is carburized to reduce abnormal structures with poor hardenability, and the temperature is slightly lowered after carburizing. Then, the load capacity can be improved by making a transition to nitriding treatment, reheating treatment before nitriding treatment (Patent Documents 1 and 2), and work hardening of retained austenite generated by carbonitriding treatment. An improved method (Patent Document 3) has been considered.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Sho 62-33755 (Japanese Patent Publication No. 7-13293) Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Sho 62-33757 (Japanese Patent Publication No. 7-13294) JP 49-10124 A (Japanese Patent Publication 54-17699)

しかしながら、面圧負荷はさらに高まる傾向となっており、接触表面において従来以上の発熱(例えば、300℃以上の発熱)を伴う場合もみられるようになっており、このような場合には、従来のごとき異常組織の低減や残留オーステナイトの加工硬化による活用だけでは、耐ピッティング性,耐摩耗性(あるいは、耐スコーリング性)の向上に対しては十分でないという問題点があり、このような問題点を解決することが課題としてあった。   However, the surface pressure load tends to increase further, and there is a case where the contact surface is accompanied by more heat generation than conventional (for example, heat generation of 300 ° C. or more). There is a problem that the reduction of abnormal structure and the utilization of residual austenite by work hardening are not sufficient for improving the pitting resistance and wear resistance (or scoring resistance). The problem was to solve the problem.

本発明は、このような従来の課題に着目してなされたものであって、歯面における耐ピッティング性,耐摩耗性(あるいは、耐スコーリング性)がさらに向上した歯面強度に優れた歯車の製造方法および歯面強度に優れた歯車を提供することを目的としている。   The present invention has been made by paying attention to such conventional problems, and has excellent tooth surface strength with further improved pitting resistance and wear resistance (or scoring resistance) on the tooth surface. An object of the present invention is to provide a gear manufacturing method and a gear excellent in tooth surface strength.

本発明者は、面圧負荷がさらに高まり、接触表面において従来以上の発熱(例えば、300℃以上の発熱)を伴う場合もみられるようになってきていることにかんがみ、このような場合においても耐ピッティング性,耐摩耗性(あるいは、耐スコーリング性)をより一層十分なものとするためには、300℃前後においても軟化のしにくい表面硬化層を形成させることが有効であることを見い出し、窒素をさらに活用した浸炭窒化に着目し、この際、焼き戻し軟化抵抗の向上に有効な窒素の深さ方向の最適分布を求めると共に、このような最適分布が得られる熱処理方法を開発して本発明に至ったものである。   In view of the fact that the surface pressure load is further increased and the contact surface has been accompanied by heat generation more than conventional (for example, heat generation of 300 ° C. or more), even in such a case, It has been found that it is effective to form a hardened surface layer that is difficult to soften even at around 300 ° C in order to further improve pitting and wear resistance (or scoring resistance). Focusing on carbonitriding that further utilizes nitrogen, we have developed an optimal distribution in the depth direction of nitrogen that is effective in improving temper softening resistance and developed a heat treatment method that can provide such an optimal distribution. The present invention has been achieved.

It is said.

また、本発明に係わる歯面強度に優れた歯車は、請求項3に記載しているように、Crを0.3〜3.0重量%含有させた機械構造用はだ焼鋼を素材とし、最表面のC量が0.5重量%以上0.9重量%以下であり且つ最表面のN量が0.3重量%以上0.8重量%以下であって、N量をC量並みとすると共に、Nの侵入深さが、硬さHv550が得られる深さである有効硬化深さの少なくとも80%の深さにまで達しており、表面硬化組織が、CのみでなくNをも固溶した緻密なマルテンサイト組織を有することを特徴としている。   Further, as described in claim 3, the gear having excellent tooth surface strength according to the present invention is made of case-hardened steel for mechanical structure containing 0.3 to 3.0% by weight of Cr.

It is characterized by having a dense martensite structure in solid solution.

本発明に係わる歯面強度に優れた歯車の製造方法および歯面強度に優れた歯車において、その素材としては、SNC415,SNC815等のニッケル・クロム系,SNCM220,SNCM415,SNCM420,SNCM616,SNCM815等のニッケル・クロム・モリブデン系,SCr415,SCr420等のクロム系,SCM415,SCM418,SCM420,SCM421,SCM822等のクロム・モリブデン系,SMn420,SMnC420等のマンガンおよびマンガン・クロム系などの機械構造用合金はだ焼鋼が使用される。   In the manufacturing method of the gear excellent in tooth surface strength and the gear excellent in tooth surface strength according to the present invention, the material thereof is nickel-chromium such as SNC415, SNC815, SNCM220, SNCM415, SNCM420, SNCM616, SNCM815, etc. Alloys for mechanical structures such as nickel / chromium / molybdenum, chromium such as SCr415 and SCr420, chromium / molybdenum such as SCM415, SCM418, SCM420, SCM421, and SCM822, manganese such as SMn420 and SMnC420, and manganese / chromium alloys Hardened steel is used.

この場合、クロムを含有する機械構造用はだ焼鋼においては、Cr含有量が0.3〜3.0重量%であるものを用い、Crはこの種のはだ焼鋼において焼入れ性の向上に寄与する作用を有していることから、このような作用を得るために0.3重量%以上とすることが望ましいが、多すぎると靭性を低下させることとなるので3.0重量%以下とすることが望ましい。   In this case, in the case-hardened steel for mechanical structure containing chromium, the one having a Cr content of 0.3 to 3.0% by weight is used, and Cr improves the hardenability in this kind of case-hardened steel. In order to obtain such an action, it is desirable to be 0.3% by weight or more, but if it is too much, the toughness will be reduced, so 3.0% by weight or less Is desirable.

また、バナジウムを含有する機械構造用はだ焼鋼においては、V含有量が0.1〜0.5重量%であるものを用いることがより望ましく、Vはこの種のはだ焼鋼において靭性を向上させる作用を有していることから、このような作用を得るために0.1重量%以上とすることが望ましいが、多すぎても効果の向上はみられずかえって靭性を低下させることとなるので0.5重量%以下とすることが望ましい。   Further, in the case-hardening steel containing vanadium, it is more desirable to use a V content of 0.1 to 0.5% by weight, and V is toughness in this kind of case-hardening steel. In order to obtain such an action, it is desirable to make it 0.1% by weight or more, but even if it is too much, the effect is not improved and the toughness is lowered. Therefore, the content is preferably 0.5% by weight or less.

そして、このほか、C,Si,Mn,P,S,Ni,Mo等についてもこの種のはだ焼鋼に適する範囲とすることが望ましいことはいうまでもない。   In addition to this, it goes without saying that C, Si, Mn, P, S, Ni, Mo, and the like are also preferably in a range suitable for this type of case-hardened steel.

また、その他、結晶粒微細化作用があるAl,Ti,Zr,Nb,N等を含有させたり、被削性向上作用があるPb,S,Ca,Se,Te,Bi等を含有させたりしたものであってもよい。   In addition, Al, Ti, Zr, Nb, N, etc., which have a grain refinement effect, or Pb, S, Ca, Se, Te, Bi, etc., which have a machinability improving effect, are included. It may be a thing.

そして、このようなCrを0.3〜3.0重量%含有させた機械構造用はだ焼鋼を用いて、塑性加工や切削加工などを行うことによって歯車素材に加工したあと、この歯車素材に対し、800℃以上950℃以下の温度で浸炭処理と同時に浸窒処理を行ったのち冷却することにより、表面硬化組織が、CのみでなくNをも固溶した歯面強度に優れた歯車を製造する。   And after processing into gear material by performing plastic working, cutting, etc., using a case-hardened steel containing 0.3 to 3.0% by weight of Cr, this gear material On the other hand, a gear having excellent tooth surface strength in which not only C but also N is dissolved in the surface hardened structure by cooling after performing a nitriding process at the same time as a carburizing process at a temperature of 800 ° C. or more and 950 ° C. or less Manufacturing.

さらに説明すれば、歯車素材に対し、800℃以上950℃以下の温度で浸炭処理と同時に浸窒処理を行ったのち冷却し、さらに800℃以上930℃以下のオーステナイト化温度にまで再加熱して再び浸窒処理を行ったのち焼入れする。   More specifically, the gear blank is cooled at the temperature of 800 ° C. or more and 950 ° C. or less at the same time as the carburizing treatment and then cooled, and further reheated to an austenitizing temperature of 800 ° C. or more and 930 ° C. or less. After nitriding again, quench.

このようにして、例えば図1に示すように、最表面のC量が0.5重量%以上0.9重量%以下であり且つ最表面のN量が0.3重量%以上0.8重量%以下であって、N量をC量並みとすると共に、Nの侵入深さが、硬さHv550が得られる深さである有効硬化深さの少なくとも80%の深さにまで達している表面硬化組織を有する歯面強度に優れた歯車を得る。   Thus, for example, as shown in FIG. 1, the C amount on the outermost surface is 0.5 wt% or more and 0.9 wt% or less, and the N amount on the outermost surface is 0.3 wt% or more and 0.8 wt% or less. %, And the amount of penetration of N reaches the depth of at least 80% of the effective hardening depth, which is the depth at which the hardness Hv550 is obtained. A gear having a hardened structure and excellent tooth surface strength is obtained.

この場合、より好ましくは、表面硬化組織は、CのみでなくNをも固溶した緻密なマルテンサイト組織からなっているものとすることがより望ましい。   In this case, more preferably, the surface hardened structure is made of a dense martensite structure in which not only C but also N is dissolved.

本発明に係わる歯面強度に優れた歯車の製造方法によれば、Crを0.3〜3.0重量%含有させた機械構造用はだ焼鋼を素材とし、最表面のC量が0.5重量%以上0.9重量%以下であり且つ最表面のN量が0.3重量%以上0.8重量%以下であって、N量をC量並みとすると共に、Nの侵入深さが、硬さHv550が得られる深さである有効硬化深さの少なくとも80%の深さまで達しており、表面硬化組織が、CのみでなくNをも固溶した緻密なマルテンサイト組織を有する歯車を得ることができ、接触面圧が高くかつ滑り率が大きく変動するような負荷においても優れた耐ピッティング性および耐摩耗性(あるいは、耐スコーリング性)を有し、歯面強度に優れたものにできると共に、再加熱焼入れを行うことで、N量が多いにもかかわらず残留オーステナイト(γR)量が少なく、硬さの低下が小さい長寿命の歯車を製造することが可能であるという著大なる効果がもたらされる。さらに、本発明では、素材としてCrを0.3〜3.0重量%含有させた機械構造用はだ焼鋼を用いているので、焼入れ性の向上に寄与する作用が得られると共に、靭性を低下させないという更なる効果を有する。   According to the method for manufacturing a gear having excellent tooth surface strength according to the present invention, a case-hardened steel containing 0.3 to 3.0% by weight of Cr is used as a raw material, and the amount of C on the outermost surface is 0. 0.5 wt% or more and 0.9 wt% or less, and the N amount on the outermost surface is 0.3 wt% or more and 0.8 wt% or less. Has reached a depth of at least 80% of the effective hardening depth, which is the depth at which the hardness Hv550 is obtained, and the surface hardening structure has a dense martensite structure in which not only C but also N is dissolved. Gears can be obtained and have excellent pitting resistance and wear resistance (or scoring resistance) even in loads where the contact surface pressure is high and the slip rate fluctuates greatly. In addition to being able to make it superior, reheating and quenching increases the amount of N Less residual austenite ([gamma] R) amount irrespective results in Chodai Naru effect that it is possible to produce a gear reduction is small long life hardness. Furthermore, in the present invention, since the machine-structured case-hardened steel containing 0.3 to 3.0% by weight of Cr is used as a material, an effect contributing to improvement of hardenability can be obtained and toughness can be obtained. It has the further effect of not lowering.

本発明に係わる歯面強度に優れた歯車によれば、 接触面圧が高くかつ滑り率が大きく変動するような負荷においても優れた耐ピッティング性および耐摩耗性を有し、歯面強度に優れたものにでき、また、Crを0.3〜3.0重量%含有させた機械構造用はだ焼鋼を素材としているので、焼入れ性が良く且つ靭性を低下させずに製造し得ると共に、表面硬化組織が、CのみでなくNをも固溶させた緻密なマルテンサイト組織であって、組織が緻密であるため、クラックの進展抵抗が大であり、長寿命であるという著大なる効果がもたらされる。   According to the gear having excellent tooth surface strength according to the present invention, it has excellent pitting resistance and wear resistance even under a load in which the contact surface pressure is high and the slip ratio greatly fluctuates. It can be made excellent, and because it is made of a case-hardened steel containing 0.3 to 3.0% by weight of Cr, it can be manufactured with good hardenability and without reducing toughness. The surface hardened structure is a dense martensite structure in which not only C but also N is dissolved, and since the structure is dense, the resistance to crack propagation is large and the life is remarkable. The effect is brought about.
