Abstract

PURPOSE:To cool and harden uniformly and quickly a material to be treated after heating and to produce a heat-treated product having good quality by providing a heating chamber, gas cooler for cooling the material to be treated and fan for circulating a cooling gas in a vacuum heat treatment furnace. CONSTITUTION:The heating chamber 6 consisting of a heat insulating material 5 such as carbon fibers is disposed in a vacuum tank 1 and a rotatable stage 17 on which the material A to be treated is imposed is placed thereon. The gas cooler 7 and the fan 8 for circulating the gas are installed behind the chamber 6. The inside of the vacuum tank is evacuated to a vacuum through a discharge port 4 and thereafter the material to be heated on the rotating stage 17 is heated to the intended temp. by the heater 9 in the chamber 6. Gas such as N2 is introduced through a gas introducing port 3 into the chamber and is cooled by the cooler 7. The cooling gas is circulated by the fan 8 so as to pass through an inlet 11 to an outlet 12 of the chamber 6, by which the material A is quickly and uniformly cooled and hardened. The material is thus heat- treated to the product having good quality without uneven hardening.

Vacuum heat treatment equipment is used when heat treating metal products. For example, when quenching a steel product, this equipment heats the object under vacuum conditions in a vacuum tank, and then heats it by forcedly circulating atmospheric gas such as nitrogen gas introduced into the vacuum tank. This is a device that cools the next heated object by repeatedly bringing it into contact with the object.

<Prior art and its problems> Conventionally, the following various types of equipment have been proposed as vacuum heat treatment equipment, which are equipped with a heating chamber surrounded by a heat insulating material, a gas cooler, and a gas fan in an openable and closable vacuum tank. ing. For example, a gas inlet is provided at the front of the heating chamber, and a gas outlet is provided at the rear of the heating chamber, and doors that can be opened and closed by a drive device are attached to the gas inlet and the gas outlet. The object to be heated in the heating chamber is heated under vacuum conditions with the door closed, and when the object to be heated after heating is cooled, the door is opened and the gas introduced into the vacuum tank is sequentially introduced into the heating chamber. While cooling with a gas cooler, the gas is forced to circulate with a gas fan and the gas is repeatedly ventilated into the heating chamber from the inlet to the outlet, and at this time, the gas comes into contact with the heated object in the heating chamber. There is a device that cools the heated object. Another example is a device in which a heat shield is fixed by setting a gap in front of the inlet and behind the outlet to prevent heat diffusion while only allowing gas to pass through, without adding a door as described above. Instead of the door driven by the drive device as described above, a type of floating door is attached, and during heating, this floating door closes the gas inlet and gas outlet by its own weight, but when cooling, the floating door closes the gas inlet and gas outlet by its own weight. A device that opens the gas inlet and gas outlet by lifting the door with the gas blowing force (Special Publication No. 58-39
888) etc.

However, in these conventional devices, when a heated object is gas-cooled, the cooling gas comes into contact with the object placed still in the heating chamber only from a predetermined direction. There is a problem that the cooling of hot objects is uneven and slow. When the conventional apparatus is used to harden steel products, for example, these problems not only impair processing efficiency but also seriously affect the quality of the final product.

In this case, if the mounting table 17 is rotated by the operation of the drive device 18, and therefore the heated object A placed on the mounting table 17 is rotated, the heated object A is forcedly circulated while being cooled. The nitrogen gas that is repeatedly passed through the heating chamber 6 is brought into contact with the entire surface of the object to be heated A, so that the object to be heated is
is cooled evenly and quickly.
