    摘要: A process for forming a carburized steel article includes carburizing a steel material containing not more than 0.10% silicon and less than 1.1% chromium to form an austenitic surface matrix having a high density of carbides dispersed therein. After quenching, the carburized steel article is characterized by an outer surface having a high ratio of carbides and is substantially free of intergranular oxides. As a result of preventing undesirable surface oxide formations and simultaneously providing a beneficial surface carbide structure, the bending fatigue strength, wear properties, and contact fatigue strength of articles such as gears, shafts, bearings and couplings are greatly enhanced.

    摘要: A steel article is formed of a steel material containing from about 0.08 to about 0.35 carbon and is characterized by having a plurality of carbides dispersed on at least one pre-selected surface area of the article, with the surface carbides being dispersed within a predominantly lower bainitic matrix. A method for forming the steel article having high hardness and higher toughness includes carburizing the article at a temperature and for a period of time, in an atmosphere having a carbon potential, sufficient to form carbides and austenite on at least one preselected surface of the article, and then quenching the carburized article to a temperature below the Ar.sub.1 temperature and above the M.sub.s temperature of the steel material for a time sufficient to transform a major portion of the austenite in the preselected surface area microstructure to lower bainite. The steel article has an equivalent Knoop 500 gram maximum particle hardness of at least 900 and a Charpy unnotched, room temperature toughness of at least 50 Joules, thereby providing an article having both high hardness and improved toughness properties.

    摘要: Dissociated ammonia carrier gas used as a reference gas is obtained from an ammonia dissociator which also provides dissociated ammonia carrier gas to a nitriding furnace whereby the source of ammonia supply gas is the same. An oxygen probe is used to regulate the nitriding potential of a nitriding furnace and atmosphere for process control and high quality nitrided parts. The method further includes correlating the probe mV output signal to a nitriding potential and adjusting the ratio of ammonia supply gas to dissociated ammonia carrier gas at the inlet of the nitriding furnace.

A plurality of processing chambers, each having at least one part position, are adapted to simultaneously process a plurality of parts each for a respective predetermined processing time. A memory device stores first records representing processing times associated with each of the parts within each processing chamber, second records representing a desired processing path associated with each part through at least one processing chamber, and third records representing the number and location of occupied part positions within each processing chamber. A computerized control center calculates desired processing times associated with at least one processing chamber for a new part to be processed in the processing chamber.
