The invention relates to the technical field of
quenching processes, in particular to a
casting multi-stage
quenching process which comprises the following steps: putting a
casting into a
vacuum furnace, heating and preserving heat, then opening a furnace door, and continuously preserving heat in an air environment at the same temperature to obtain a pretreated
casting; the pretreated casting is immersed in a
quenching medium, ultrasonic treatment is applied during the period, the pretreated casting is taken out after being cooled and then air-cooled to the
room temperature, and a quenched casting is obtained; the quenched casting is subjected to shot blasting treatment, then heated and subjected to heat preservation, and after the quenched casting is cooled to the
room temperature, a
surface layer low-carbon casting is obtained; and then
nitriding treatment and post-oxidation treatment are carried out in sequence. According to the method, the medium-carbon casting is firstly heated in the
vacuum furnace at a high temperature, then the medium-carbon casting is subjected to short-time high-temperature oxidation and
decarburization in the air environment to reduce the carbon content of the
surface layer of the casting, and
nitrogen diffusion is prevented from being inhibited due to excessive carbon, so that the thickness of a
nitriding layer is increased, the problem that the
nitriding layer is thin and brittle is avoided, and the
hardness,
wear resistance and
impact resistance of the finished casting are improved.
