The invention discloses a
carburizing and
quenching distortion control method for a
bevel gear of an automobile transmission, and belongs to the technical field of heat treatment. The method sequentially comprises the following steps: pre-oxidation treatment: preserving heat at 450 DEG C to form a
catalytic oxidation film on the surface of the
bevel gear;
carburizing treatment:
carburizing at 915 + / -5 DEG C after two-stage preheating;
quenching treatment is conducted, specifically, cooling is conducted in
quenching oil at the temperature of 830 + / -5 DEG C, and the
delay time from furnace discharging to oil feeding is controlled
not to exceed 30 seconds;
cryogenic treatment and
tempering treatment are conducted, specifically, after quenching, the workpiece is subjected to
cryogenic treatment and then subjected to
tempering treatment in the same equipment. Through the synergistic effect of the pre-oxidation, the optimized carburizing and quenching parameters and the cryogenic
tempering integrated process, the quenching
distortion problem caused by the uneven section of the
bevel gear is effectively solved, the maximum tooth shape deformation is smaller than or equal to 0.02 mm, meanwhile, the surface
hardness of 60-63 HRC, the carburizing layer depth of 0.8-1.0 mm and the high
bending fatigue strength are guaranteed, and the service life of the bevel gear is prolonged. And the product precision and the performance consistency are obviously improved.
