Problems solved by technology

[0009] But this method often requires pre-sputtering before nitriding to eliminate the oxide film
At the same time, the temperature is high, and some even reach 650°C, which causes local melting of the aluminum alloy and because of the high resistance of AlN, in the ordinary DC glow discharge nitriding, with the thickening of the AlN layer, in order to maintain the discharge process, it must be changed Process parameters, thus increasing the difficulty of nitriding, etc.
[0010] In order to obtain a better nitriding effect, many researchers have improved the process and equipment, and successively proposed enhanced plasma ion nitriding, laser-induced plasma nitriding Nitrogen, ECR (electron cyclotron resonance) microwave plasma nitriding, radio frequency (high frequency) plasma nitriding, etc., but the above-mentioned nitriding processes of aluminum and its aluminum alloys have in common: high equipment requirements, high production costs, and complicated operations Difficult to control, it is difficult to obtain an ideal and uniform nitride layer for large-sized and complex-structured workpieces

Abstract

The invention relates to a two-section gas nitridation method for the surfaces of aluminum and aluminum alloy. The method comprises a surface oxidation film removing step and a surface nitridation treatment step. The step 1 comprises the following steps of: pre-treating; primarily galvanizing zinc; washing by water; removing zinc; secondarily galvanizing zinc; and drying after water washing. The step 2 comprises the following steps of: exhausting in a furnace, wherein the ammonia resolution ratio is less than 10%; primarily heating to 570-590 DEG C, wherein the ammonia resolution ratio is 15-25%; carrying out one-section nitridation, wherein the furnace temperature is 580-640DEG C, and the ammonia resolution ratio is kept at 15-25%; secondarily heating to 620-640 DEG C, wherein the ammonia resolution ratio is 40-55%; carrying out two-section nitridation, wherein the temperature is 620-640DEG C, and the ammonia resolution ratio is 40-55%; and denitriding, wherein the furnace temperature is 580-640DEG C, and the ammonia resolution ratio is controlled at 70-80%.

Description

[0001] technical field [0002] The invention relates to a heat treatment process for aluminum alloys, in particular to a two-stage gas nitriding method for the surface of aluminum and aluminum alloys. Background technique [0003] Aluminum and aluminum alloys are widely used in engineering structures and machine manufacturing, especially in the automotive industry, because they have high specific strength and small specific gravity, which can reduce the weight of engineering structures and complete machines without reducing safety and stability. At the same time, aluminum and aluminum alloys also have good machinability. However, with the development of industrial technology, the lower hardness, lower wear resistance and corrosion resistance of aluminum and aluminum alloys make it unable to meet the harsh service conditions such as high relative movement between components, high mass flow and high corrosion. requirements. [0004] At present, the commonly used surface st...
