2 (g) N (in Fe) + 3 / 2H 2 (g) = NH 3 (g) Various proposals have conventionally been made to efficiently perform these finishing heat treatments. For example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 57-58401 discloses a method of performing decarburization and deoxidation in hydrogen containing steam using a moving bed furnace, and Japanese Patent Publication No. 58-482 discloses a moving bed furnace. A method has been proposed in which decarburization or deoxidation is preferentially performed by changing the amount of water vapor in hydrogen using a furnace.

A method of positively performing denitrification by gradually cooling at 00 to 550 ° C. is disclosed. Further, JP-A-61-110701 discloses that the inside of a continuous moving bed furnace is divided in the traveling direction to make each processing step independent, and then the atmosphere gas is supplied from the position on the moving bed where the raw material powder sinters. A method is disclosed in which a reaction is promoted by stirring with a fan to prevent the reaction product gas in the furnace from staying (stagnating) on the raw material powder.

However, these methods all relate to the atmosphere above the raw material powder, and the reaction between the raw material powder on the surface of the raw material powder layer and hydrogen or water vapor in the atmosphere is promoted. However, the reaction with the raw material powder inside the raw material powder layer was delayed, resulting in insufficient productivity.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS As described above, it is known that deoxidation, decarburization or denitrification proceeds according to the following reaction formula. FeO (s) + H 2 ( g) = Fe (s) + H 2 O C (in Fe) + H 2 O (g) = CO (g) + H
2 (g) N (in Fe) + 3 / 2H 2 (g) = NH 3 (g) According to the present invention, the heat treatment time can be shortened and the productivity is improved. By adding moisture to the raw material layer, the moisture penetrates into the raw material powder layer, thereby promoting the decarburization reaction of the raw material powder inside the layer during the heat treatment, and the hydrogen generated by this reaction further deoxidizes and / or deoxidizes. It is thought to be to promote the nitridation reaction.

The reason why the amount of water added is 0.5 to 20% by weight is as follows.
If it is less than 5 wt%, decarburization is insufficient, and if it exceeds 20 wt%, deoxidation is insufficient. As for the method of adding water, it is only necessary to add water to the raw material powder before charging into the heat treatment furnace. For example, when heat treatment is performed in the finishing heat treatment apparatus (continuous moving bed furnace) 20 shown in FIG. 1, for example, watering means (watering pipe) 31 is provided on the inlet side of the furnace.
And spraying water on the raw material powder 7 in the hopper 8 is suitable. 1, 1 is a partition wall, 2 is a decarburization zone, 3 is a deoxidation zone, 4 is a denitrification zone, 6 is an exhaust gas pipe, 9 is a belt, 10 is a wheel, 11 is a radiant tube, 51 and 52. Is a gas injection pipe. Of course, it is also possible to use the conventional method in which steam is blown into the furnace.

As the water, any of distilled water, pure water, factory ring water, etc. may be used. According to experiments by the present inventors, it is more effective to use an acid aqueous solution containing an acid as a water in a concentration range of 0.1 wt% or more and less than 20 wt%. If the acid concentration is less than 0.1 wt%, there is no difference in effect from the case of water alone, and if it is 20 wt% or more, erosion of the heat treatment furnace auxiliary equipment cannot be ignored. It is desirable that the acid does not contain components such as B, P, and S that are harmful even if a trace amount remains in the iron powder, and that the exhaust gas does not contain environmental pollutants such as NOx, SOx, and chlorine gas. Therefore, it is preferable to use an acid composed only of C, O and H, for example, carbonic acid, formic acid, acetic acid, benzoic acid, oxalic acid and the like.
