Definitions
- the invention relates to the field of metallurgy and relates to a process for carburizing and carbonitriding steels with carbon monoxide ensuring an improved speed of transfer of carbon in steel and avoiding the surface oxidation of the cemented and carbonitrided layers. .
- the object of the invention is to reduce the adsorbed oxygen layer in order on the one hand to obtain the maximum carbon transfer speed, by reducing the transfer resistance, and on the other hand to avoid any super-granular surface oxidation .
- the invention therefore aims to make the initial transient phase as short as possible and to implement it on a steel surface where the adsorbed oxygen is removed by a powerfully reducing agent.
- This objective is achieved, in accordance with the invention, by the introduction of atomic hydrogen into the atmosphere at the start of the treatment, before the carbon potential of the atmosphere has reached a very high value.
- atomic hydrogen is obtained by the thermal decomposition of a gaseous molecule with at least transient formation of atomic hydrogen. This decomposition occurs at the temperature chosen for carbon enrichment and on condition that the other species resulting from the decomposition of the molecule do not react with steel.
- atomic hydrogen is obtained by the decomposition of gas mixtures containing molecular hydrogen in an electric or electromagnetic field in the form of cold plasmas or hot plasmas obtained using various modes of excitation, arc, microwave, radio frequency for example and this in discharge or post discharge.
- the steel parts are introduced into the furnace where they are heated to the carbon enrichment temperature. This is at least equal to 920 ° C.
- the atmosphere of the furnace consists of nitrogen chemically inert with respect to the steel during this heating phase,
- the fuel mixture carbon monoxide - hydrogen
- the fuel mixture carbon monoxide - hydrogen
- This concentration makes it possible to regulate the carbon potential of the atmosphere to a value equal to the saturated carbon concentration of the austenite corresponding to the chosen enrichment temperature, - at the end of the enrichment phase, we replace the furnace atmosphere with nitrogen.
- the carbon flux transferred to the interface is then zero.
- the temperature and the duration of this diffusion phase in the steel with zero transferred flow are chosen to obtain the desired surface carbon concentration profile.
- This diffusion phase ends at the temperature chosen for quenching the parts.
- This mixture is highly reducing at these temperatures. It makes it possible to avoid the formation of oxides during the short period of growth of the carbon potential at the time of the introduction of the CO - H2 mixture used for enrichment.
- the processing of the invention makes it possible to control the transfer of material in a rigorous manner, and therefore to control and simulate in real time the profiles of concentration obtained.
- each phase of the treatment corresponds to rigorous boundary conditions: during the heating the carbon flux is naked, during the enrichment phase the carbon transfer is at a constant surface concentration equal to the saturation concentration of the austenite , during the diffusion phase the carbon flux is zero.
- the process of the invention has the following advantages: the carbon is transferred at the maximum speed, there is no surface oxidation, it allows rigorous control of the transfer of carbon by controlling and regulating the carbon potential of the atmosphere, it simulates and controls carbon concentration profiles at all times thanks to the control of interface boundary conditions for each phase of the treatment.
- the analyzes show that there is no nitrogen introduced into the steel, the concentrations measured over the first 100 microns are less than 0.02% which is in accordance with thermodynamic forecasts.
- a controlled flow of ammonia is introduced at a temperature below 880 ° C. during the diffusion phase with zero carbon flow so as to create a nitrogen concentration gradient.
- This operation is carried out in accordance with the usual practices of carbonitriding according to the following operating mode:
