Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of metal heat treatment, specifically relating to a system that can perform metal oxidation, vibration and quenching experiments. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of science and technology, metal heat treatment is widely used in industrial production; however, current heat treatment systems can only perform metal heat treatment processes in a single way and cannot simultaneously conduct metal oxidation, vibration and quenching experiments, making their experimental functions relatively limited. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this invention is to provide a system that can perform metal oxidation, vibration and quenching experiments simultaneously.

[0004] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0005] A system for performing metal oxidation, vibration, and quenching experiments includes a profile frame, a heating furnace mounted on the profile frame, an alumina tube positioned at the center of the heating furnace, a steam generator and a preheating furnace positioned on the left side of the profile frame; steam generated by the steam generator exits the preheating furnace and enters an inlet pipe located inside the heating furnace, and the steam interacts with the material after exiting the inlet pipe to cause oxidation;

[0006] A stainless steel material rod is provided on the profile frame, and a linear module is provided at the right end of the profile frame. The linear module is used to drive the stainless steel material rod to slide linearly. A quartz rod is fixed on the stainless steel material rod, and a material support frame is provided at the end of the quartz rod. By controlling the operation of the linear module, the material to be sintered can be transported into the heating furnace. By controlling the linear module, the reciprocating motion of the material can be realized, thereby completing the vibration experiment.

[0007] The heating furnace is equipped with upper and lower electric water-cooled gate valves on the right side, forming a material cooling chamber between the upper and lower electric water-cooled gate valves. A quenching tank is located below the material cooling chamber. A stepper motor is installed on the linear module, and a first pulley is fixed on the drive shaft of the stepper motor. A second pulley is installed on the stainless steel material rod, and a belt connects the second pulley to the first pulley. When the stepper motor runs, it can drive the material support frame to rotate, thereby unloading the heat-treated material into the quenching tank to achieve quenching.

[0008] Furthermore, after the steam exits the preheating furnace, a heating belt is wrapped around the pipe to prevent it from liquefying due to cooling during transmission.

[0009] Furthermore, the intake pipe is spiral-shaped, allowing water vapor to be fully heated and vaporized within the intake pipe.

[0010] Furthermore, a condensate drain outlet is provided on the pipe between the steam generator and the preheating furnace to discharge liquid condensate.

[0011] According to the system for realizing metal oxidation, vibration and quenching experiments as described in the claim, the left end of the heating furnace is provided with a left-end corundum tube clamping device, a left-end flange is provided on the left side of the left-end corundum tube clamping device, and a left-end graphite sealing gasket is provided between the left-end flange and the left-end corundum tube clamping device, thereby achieving sealing of the left end of the heating furnace.

[0012] Furthermore, a solenoid valve is provided on the left side of the heating furnace. The solenoid valve opens when a vacuum is drawn and closes when positive pressure is applied inside the furnace tube, thereby enabling oxidation, heat treatment, and vibration experiments on metal materials at high temperature and normal pressure.

[0013] Furthermore, a water vapor condenser is provided on one side of the material cooling chamber. The water vapor condenser is used to treat residual water vapor. The two ports of the water vapor condenser are respectively connected to the water inlet and outlet of the water chiller, so that the water temperature of the condenser is controlled at a certain temperature, and the water vapor is effectively condensed.

[0014] Furthermore, a right-end silicon carbide tube clamping device is provided at the right end of the heating furnace, and a right-end flange is provided on the right side of the heating furnace. A right-end graphite sealing gasket is provided between the right-end silicon carbide tube clamping device and the right-end flange, thereby achieving a seal on the right end of the heating furnace.

[0015] Furthermore, the stainless steel material rod is fitted with a compressible weldable corrugated tube on its outer side.

[0016] Furthermore, a thermocouple is installed at one end of the quartz rod to monitor the temperature of the material in real time.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0018] 1. By setting up a steam generator and a preheating furnace, steam is delivered to the heating furnace, where it interacts with the materials inside and causes oxidation. A linear module is set on the left side of the profile frame to drive the material to be sintered back and forth between the heating furnace and the cooling chamber, thereby completing the vibration test. A stepper motor and belt are set on the linear module to realize the flipping control of the material support frame, so that the sintered material can be unloaded into the quenching tank to complete the quenching.

[0019] 2. By wrapping heating tape around the pipe between the preheating furnace and the heating furnace, the liquefaction of water vapor during cooling is prevented;

[0020] 3. A water vapor condenser is installed on one side of the material cooling chamber to treat residual water vapor and liquefy it. Attached Figure Description
