Problems solved by technology

[0007]The above scheme has developed the nitriding process to a certain extent, but the ionized nitriding layer is shallow, and it is difficult to ensure a uniform layer for metal parts with complex structures. Moreover, the equipment is complex and the initial investment is large, and its wide-scale promotion and application are limited.

Abstract

The invention discloses an electric arc plasma auxiliary low-voltage nitriding method for the surface of a hot-working die. The method includes the steps that firstly, ion etching is performed on the surface of the hot-working die through Ar+ generated by electric arc-enhanced glow discharge, so that oxide on the surface of the material is removed; then a certain flow of high-purity N2, high-purity H2 and high-purity Ar are continuously introduced to a furnace, the temperature ranging from 300 DEG C to 600 DEG C and the air pressure ranging from 0.2 Pa to 1.0 Pa in the furnace are kept constant, a workpiece rotation platform is connected with the negative electrode of a pulse power source, and plasma nitridation is performed; the depth of a nitriding layer in 2h nitridation ranges from 15 micrometers to 40 micrometers, the thickness of a compound layer in the nitriding layer ranges from 0 to 3 micrometers, the hardness ranges from 1000 HV<0.1> to 1300 HV<0.1>, and the brittleness level and the looseness level are both smaller than 1. In addition, the surface of a workpiece is effectively bombarded and activated in real time through argon ions, so that nitrogen atomic diffusion channels are increased, the nitriding process is accelerated, and finally the high-strength and high-tenacity nitriding surface layer is obtained.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of material surface modification, and in particular relates to a low-pressure nitriding method assisted by electric arc plasma on the surface of a hot work mold, which is suitable for surface strengthening of hard alloy cutters, molds and metal parts. Background technique [0002] Plasma nitriding is an important chemical heat treatment technology, which has the advantages of low treatment temperature, fast speed, no pollution, good process controllability, etc., and can significantly improve the surface hardness and wear resistance of metal materials. Nitriding methods are usually divided into gas nitriding, liquid nitriding, solid nitriding and ion nitriding. Among them, ion nitriding has been widely used because of its high efficiency, low pollution, easy control, and small deformation of workpieces. [0003] At present, the commonly used ion nitriding technologies include direct current ion nitriding, pulse direc...
