摘要:
A metal ring made of maraging steel is heated in the presence of a halogen compound gas, so as to eliminate an oxide film from the surface of the metal ring and to form a halogenous compound film. Thereafter, the metal ring is heated under a vacuum or reduced pressure atmosphere to eliminate the halogenous compound film, and then it is maintained under an atmosphere comprising ammonia at a processing temperature ranging between 450° C. and 500° C. for a processing time ranging between 30 and 120 minutes, so as to carry out a nitriding processing. The above nitriding processing comprises the steps of: placing the above metal ring into a heating furnace and raising the temperature inside the heating furnace to the above processing temperature; introducing a first mixed gas consisting of 50% to 90% ammonia byvolume, 0.1% to 0.9% oxygen by volume, and a residual volume consisting of nitrogen into the heating furnace, and maintaining the above processing temperature, so as to form a nitrided layer on the surface of the metal ring; and when the one-third to one-half of the processing time has passed, replacing the atmosphere inside the heating furnace by a second mixed gas consisting of 0% to 25% ammonia by volume and a residual volume consisting of nitrogen, and maintaining the above processing temperature until the remaining processing time passes.
摘要:
Provided are a conveying jig, a method of manufacturing the conveying jig, and a method of heat-treating metal rings using the conveying jig. The conveying jig is provided with a base and ten holding shafts raised from the base. Ridges and grooves are alternatively provided in the side wall of each holding shaft. The metal rings are held in position by being engaged in the grooves in the holding shafts. The space enclosed within the holding shafts is communicated with the atmosphere, and this allows, when the metal rings held by the conveying jig are subjected to heat treatment in a heat treatment furnace, an atmospheric gas to circulate in the space enclosed within the holding shafts.

摘要:
Elastic metal rings are pushed between plural shelf members which have an opening, are provided parallel to each other in a vertical direction and are spaced a predetermined interval from each other, the opening having an inner periphery of which total sides are longer than a periphery of each elastic metal ring. Each of all the metal rings is deformed into an approximately polygonal shape, which allows all the metal rings to pass through the opening, from arrangement condition of the metal rings, and all the metal rings are pressed and held from insides thereof and are extracted from the opening. A heat treatment jig, which has the same opening as that of the shelf member and enables the metal rings to be mounted parallel to each other in a vertical direction and to be spaced the above predetermined interval from each other, is used. All the metal rings, which are held from the insides thereof in the arrangement condition, are inserted from the opening of the heat treatment jig into the heat treatment jig, all the metal rings are released from being held from the insides thereof, and all the metal rings are mounted in the heat treatment jig. The metal rings and the heat treatment jig are subjected to a heat treatment, and the metal rings are extracted from the shelf members.

In an alignment stocker having an opening and plural shelf members, metal rings are pushed between the plural shelf members. The meta rings are deformed into an approximately polygonal shape to pass through the opening, in an arranged State of the metal rings, by pressing and holding from insides thereof, and are extracted from the opening. Using a heat treatment jig, which has the same opening as that of the shelf member and enables the metal rings to be mounted parallel to each other in a vertical direction and to be spaced the predetermined interval from each other, the metal rings held from the insides thereof in the arranged state, are inserted from the opening of the heat treatment jig into the heat treatment jig, are mounted in the heat treatment jig by releasing the inside holding, and then are heated and extracted from the shelf members.
摘要:
This invention provides a process for producing a high-concentration carburized steel which can realize dispersion of a large amount of fine and spherical carbides without causing lowered service life of a furnace, deformed steel products, and lowered working efficiency. The production process comprises (i) a primary carburization step for carburizing a steel product having a predetermined composition at a primary carburization temperature (T1) (° C.) until the surface carbon concentration (C) reaches a predetermined carbon concentration, (ii) a cooling step of, after the completion of the primary carburization step, cooling the steel product at a cooling rate of not less than 1° C./min to Ar1 point or less, (iii) a secondary carburization initial step of raising the temperature of the steel product to a secondary carburization start temperature (T2s), which is at least 100° C. below the primary carburization temperature (T1), and carburizing the steel product at a secondary carburization temperature (T2), (iv) a secondary carburization late step of, subsequent to the completion of the secondary carburization initial step, raising the temperature of the steel product to a quench hardening temperature (Tq) and further carburizing the steel product at the quench hardening temperature (Tq), and (v) a quench hardening step of, after the completion of the secondary carburization late step, quench hardening the steel product.
摘要:
Disclosed are a conveyance rack for retaining and conveying resilience-memory metal rings and a method for retaining the metal rings. The conveyance rack is provided with a base and a plurality of retaining shafts which extend parallel to each other, being erected on the base, and which are provided with, on the side walls thereof, a plurality of protrusions abutting on the lower end surfaces of the metal rings. The protrusions abut on the lower end surfaces of the metal rings by point contact.
