The invention discloses a
carbonitriding heat treatment technique under a new
atmosphere. The technique comprises the following steps that (a), a multi-purpose chamber furnace suitable for
carburizing treatment is selected; (b), a
nitrogen, methyl
alcohol,
ammonia gas and dimethylmethane
carburizing medium is adopted, and an
oxygen probe is adopted to control the
carbon potential, so that control over the
carbon potential of the
atmosphere in the furnace is achieved; (c), according to a charging mode, charging
layers are chosen according to the heights of workpieces, and gaps are kept between the workpieces of each layer to guarantee the uniformity of infiltration
layers; (d), according to technological parameters, the
carbonitriding temperature is 815 DEG C-825 DEG C, the
carbon potential is 1.20%-1.30%, and strong infiltration is conducted for 3 h-3.5 h; in the
diffusion period, the temperature is 815 DEG C-825 DEG C, the carbon potential is 1.10%-1.20%, and
diffusion is conducted for 3 h-3.5 h; KR-218 fast bright
quenching oil is used for
quenching, and cooling is conducted for 8 min-15min; and
air cooling is conducted after
tempering; and (e), steel foil is used for carbon determination during strong infiltration of each furnace. According to the
carbonitriding heat treatment technique under the new
atmosphere, a carbonitriding layer with a certain depth can be obtained in a relatively short time, and higher
hardness is achieved.
