Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of heat treatment equipment, and in particular relates to a controllable atmosphere pit-type nitriding furnace capable of suspending a plurality of machine tool spindles. Background Art

[0002] At present, when the spindle of a machine tool is commonly gas nitrided in a nitriding furnace, a traditional vertical tooling is generally placed in a standing position for nitriding treatment. During the heating process, cooling process and long-term heat preservation, because the parts stand on the tooling, the bottom of the workpiece contacts the tray, and the top of the workpiece contacts the side wall of the tooling, there is a certain resistance to the elongation and contraction of the workpiece under temperature changes and high temperature environments. The elongation and contraction are limited, resulting in the workpiece being unable to stretch and contract freely. At the same time, the non-axial gravity under high temperature conditions will cause the shaft parts to deform, and then a certain degree of bending will occur. After nitriding, straightening is required to meet the requirements. The straightening process will destroy the local nitriding layer and form new stress, which will ultimately lead to a decrease in product qualification rate.

[0003] Therefore, it is urgently necessary to design a nitriding furnace that can ensure that the machine tool spindle does not deform during nitriding. Utility Model Content
