E'RQCESS 0F CARBUIIIZIHG HOLLOW ARTICLES.
Application filed Eanuary 9, 1922.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that l, HARRY W. MOQUAID, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Canton, county of Stark, and State of @hio, have invented a new and useful linprovement in Processes of Carburizing Hollow Articles, of which the following is a specification.
Heretofore, when it has been desired to harden only the inner or the outer surface or a hollow article, it has been common practice to coat one surface with a varnish or other compound that would not interfere with cementatiou or carburizing, and then dip the article thus coated into a solution of copper for the purpose of coating with cop per the unvarnished portion and thereby protecting such copper-coated portion against carburization when the article is packed and heated in the presence of the carburizing material. The principal object of the presout process is to wholly dispense with the preliminary operation of varnishing the surface to be hardened and also with the operation of cop er-coating or otherwise protecting the ,ot er surfaces against carburizing. The invention consists principally in assembling the uncarburized articles axially into the form of tubes with substantially tight joints between successive sections and w1th means for substantially excluding air and carburizing gases from access to the surface that is to be left unhar'dened. It also consists in the construction and arrangement hereinafter described and claimed. I
In the accompanying drawing, wherein like reference numbers refer to like parts wherever they occur,
Fig. l is a vertical section of a number of roller bearing cones assembled conformable to my invention preparatory to the casehardening thereof on their outer surfaces;
Fig. 2 is a similar view showing alternate cones oppositely disposed, the cones being shown in side elevation.
Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 1 showing a group of worm gears that are spaced apart by copper washers.
Fig. l is a longitudinal view of a group of oppositely disposed roller bearing cups assem led in condition for carburization of their inner surfaces, together with the holding tube arranged to exclude air and gases rom the exterior surfaces thereof; and
tight for the purpose.

Fig. 5 is a detail view of the spider washer at the upper end of the assembly shown in Fig. 4. i The article illustrated in Fig. 1 is the inner bearing member or cone 1 of a roller bearing. Both ends of this article are accurately finished prior to the heat treatment and it requires to be carburized only on the outer surface. According to my inventron, such cones are assembled axially in the form of a sectional tube of convenient length; and are held in assembled relation by means of a bolt 2 which extends axially through them and whose ends are provided with washers 3, of steel, copper or other suitable material, that are large enough to lap the ends of the endmost cones and serve as reaction members for the bolthead and nut, Th nut a on the threaded end of the bolt is then turned until the assembled cones are held suiiiciently tight to prevent being displaced during the heat treatment. When thus assembled, the inner surfaces of the cones are suiliciently protected to escape carburization during the heat treatment; for the hollow interior of the assembled tube is adequately protected from carburizing gases by the washers at the end and by the joints between successive articles being suiliciently Accordingly, when such an assembly is packed in the carburizing material and subjected to the usual heat treatment, the cementation or carburization is practically limited to the exterior surfaces of the cones.
In the assembly illustrated in Fig. 1, all of the cones are arranged in the same position, whereby the small end of one cone is in contact with the large end of the next cone. In this arrangement, a portion of the large end of each cone is exposed to carburizing action. In the assembly of Fig. 2, alternate cones are reversed, so that the large end of each cone abuts against the large end of the next cone, while its small end also abuts a ainst the small end of the adjacent cone. .n this arrangement, both. the large end and the small end are better protected against carburizing than is the case in the assembly of Fig. l.
The article illustrated in Fig. 3 is a worm. gear 5 which requires to be hardened only on its outer surface. The ends or faces of such gear are not usually finished with the same degree ct accuracy as the roller bear til) ing cone illustrated in Fig. 1; and therefore, in order to make an adequately tight joint between successive gears, a washer 6 of copper or other suitable soft metal is interposed between successive gears. Otherwise the assembly illustrated in Fig. 3 is similar to that of Fig. 1. In assembling article with rough ends or faces, as in Fig. 2, the nut 4 should be turned tight enough for the soft washers 6 to conform to the surfaces of the gears in contact therewith and thereby form a substantially tight joint between successive gears. In this way carburizing gases will be substantially excluded from the inside or bore of the gear.
The article illustrated in Fig. 4 is a roller bearing cup 7 that requires to be hardened on its interior surface only. For the purpose of treating such articles, they areassembled axially inside a metal tube or shell 8 whose ends are closed by caps 9. The cups are held in assembled relation by means of a bolt 10 whose ends are provided with washers l1 and 12 that lap the ends of the endmost cups and serve as reaction members for clamping nuts 13. The lowermost washer 11 closes the lower end of the control bore of the assembled tube; and the uppermost washer 12 isshown in the form of a spider, whereby the carburizing material may be readily inserted into said control bore through the openings in said spider. The annular space between the upper end of the shell and the ends of the uppermost cup is closed by means of a flanged imperforate portion 14: of the uppermost washer, which portion engages the interior surface of the casing 8 and the uppermost cap 9, thereby excluding the carburizing gases from the annular space outside of the cups.
The threaded ends of the tightening bolt 10 extend through the caps 9 and are provided with nuts 15 which engage said caps and hold them in place. The ends or the cups are usually sufiiciently well finished to dispense with the use of copper washers between successive cups; but with articles that are not sowell finished, it is preferable to use soft washers to make a sutficiently tight joint, the inner diameter of such washers being suiliciently large to permit free circulation of the carburizing gases. With this assembly, the -carburizing material may be readily inserted into the central bore through the openings in the spiders; and when the assembly is submitted to the usual heat treatment, the cementation or casecarburizing is limited to the inner surfaces of the roller bearing cups, the outer surfaces being only slightly adected or not at all.
@ne of the principal advantages of my present process is that it dispenses wholly with the preliminary steps heretofore commonly practiced; that is, it dispenses with the copper coating of the portion of the surfaces that is to be left unhardened and it also dispenses with the varnishing of the surface that is to be hardened: and in dispensing with these two operations it saves the material and labor involved therein. Obviously the process is not limited to the treatment of the articles specified above but is applicable generally to hollow articles that are to be carburized on only the inner or the outer surface, as the case may be. Obviously also the simple mechanical devices herein illustrated admit of considerable variation without departing from my invention.
What ll claim is:
l. The improvement in the process of carbu'rizing the inner or outer surface of hollow articles without carburizing the other surface thereof which consists in as sembling such articles axially and clamping the same togethe in assembled relation by means that will exclude carburizing agent from such other surface without inert packing. 2. The improvement in the process of carburizing the outer surfaces of hollow articles without carburizing the inner surface thereof which consists in assembling such articles axially and clamping the same together in assembled relation by means that will exclude carburizing gases from the interior thereof.
