Problems solved by technology

Through austenitization and isothermal aging treatment, the compound layer of the infiltrated layer is dissolved, and the following phase transformation occurs in the compound layer: austenitization process, ε-Fe 2-3 Phase transformation of N→γ-Fe(N), followed by isothermal aging, γ-Fe(N)→(α-Fe+γ′-Fe 4 The phase transformation of N) transforms the compound layer of the infiltrated layer into an ultra-fine bainite layer. This strengthening layer has excellent toughness due to fine grain strengthening, but it is found that its compactness is lower than that of the original compound layer. large drop
[0006] In addition, in the invention patent with the application number 201110026979, the sample after nitrocarburizing cooling is then subjected to subsequent heat treatment such as austenitization, which is not only cumbersome and time-consuming, but is not conducive to mass production in industrial applications, and more The biggest problem is that the "cooling treatment" after nitrocarburizing has a great negative effect on the subsequent austenitizing treatment and isothermal aging treatment, which is specifically reflected in the following two aspects: a) If it is used after nitrocarburizing Water quenching treatment (rapid cooling) will cause [N] to segregate to the surface (ε phase), which will greatly prolong the austenitizing treatment time (the time for complete decomposition of ε phase), and at the same time increase the nitrogen The degree of loss; b) If furnace cooling (slow cooling) is used after nitrocarburizing, the Fe in the subsurface layer (diffusion layer) α matrix 4 The precipitated phases such as N have all precipitated and grown up, and the subsequent artificial aging treatment for controlling the precipitated phases is meaningless
[0007] In short, the process is not only complicated and time-consuming, but also due to the denitrification behavior of the nitriding strengthening layer in the austenitizing treatment stage, a large number of holes and cracks appear on the surface of the final sample, resulting in a series of surface properties due to the hole layer. Existence but can not get a true reflection, and it is contrary to the nitriding treatment of precision workpieces with high requirements on size and surface finish, so the practical application value of this process is greatly reduced
