Definitions
- the present invention relates to a composite heat treatment method and a hardened steel member for producing a hardened steel member used as a machine structural part having excellent mechanical strength such as surface pressure strength, wear resistance, and bending fatigue strength.
- steel and cast iron mechanical structural parts such as shafts, gears, pistons, shafts, and cams are nitrided to improve mechanical strength such as surface pressure strength, wear resistance, and bending fatigue strength.
- Surface hardening treatment such as treatment, soft nitriding treatment, carburizing quenching, induction hardening is applied.
- a nitrogen compound layer formed on the surface of a steel substrate by nitriding or soft nitriding is known to have excellent slidability, resistance to wear, and high seizure resistance (hereinafter referred to as this). This will be referred to as effect I by the nitrogen compound layer.)
- This nitrogen compound layer is formed by diffusing and penetrating nitrogen into the steel substrate by performing nitriding treatment or soft nitriding treatment on the surface of the steel substrate.
- the steel materials that contain diffused nitrogen have a fine martensite structure that is obtained after quenching in a state containing diffused nitrogen, which increases the hardness and improves hardenability.
- the formation of a nitrogen diffusion layer by nitriding treatment or soft nitriding treatment can also be used as a nitrogen diffusion penetrating treatment that increases the hardness of the steel material (hereinafter referred to as effect II by the nitrogen compound layer). ).
- This effect II is not due to the action of the nitrogen compound layer itself, but due to the action of diffused nitrogen in the steel material immediately below the nitrogen compound layer generated when the nitrogen compound layer is formed.
- Formation of a nitrogen diffusion layer by nitriding or soft nitriding causes an increase in surface pressure strength and fatigue strength in addition to an increase in steel hardness.
- the martensitic structure containing diffusion nitrogen obtained by quenching is due to the fact that it has resistance to temper softening and resistance to crack initiation / growth in addition to the above-mentioned increase in hardness and improvement in hardenability. It is known to have high surface pressure strength and high fatigue strength.
- the quenching temperature needs to be at least the temperature Ac3 transformation point at which an austenite structure is formed, and is usually selected from a temperature range of 750 to 1050 ° C.
- the nitrogen compound layer formed at a nitriding temperature of 570 ° C. is a combination of iron and nitrogen, and is oxidized and decomposed when reheated to 650 ° C. or higher in the air atmosphere. Then, it is released as nitrogen gas and the nitrogen compound layer disappears. This has been reported for a long time (Non-Patent Document 1).
- the combined heat treatment technology by nitriding and quenching usually uses only the effect II caused by the nitrogen diffusion layer obtained in the surface layer portion of the steel material by nitriding treatment, and nitrogen formed in the surface layer portion of the steel material by nitriding treatment
- the characteristic (effect I) of excellent slidability, high wear strength, and high seizure resistance resulting from the fact that the compound layer has diffused nitrogen is not utilized. That is, the nitrogen compound layer does not stop disappearing during quenching, which is a subsequent process of nitriding.
- the composite heat treatment described in Patent Documents 1 to 5 can be mentioned.
- Patent Document 6 discloses a composite heat treatment method in which a nitriding treatment is performed at a temperature of 600 ° C. or higher to form a nitrogen compound layer having a thickness of 5 ⁇ m or less, followed by induction hardening to obtain a quenched member having a nitrogen compound layer having a thickness of 2 ⁇ m or less. ing.
- the reason why the nitriding conditions are set to a high temperature of 600 ° C. or higher in this composite heat treatment method is that a higher concentration of nitrogen diffusion can be expected toward the deeper side of the steel material at higher temperatures.
- a nitrogen compound layer obtained at a nitriding temperature exceeding 600 ° C. is a nitrogen compound layer having a low hardness and having no effect I. That is, this composite heat treatment method is only expected to have the effect II by the nitrogen compound layer, and the remaining nitrogen compound layer of 2 ⁇ m or less may be omitted.
- the nitrogen compound layer is not oxidized or decomposed during induction hardening.
- a hardened steel material is manufactured by coating with a protective film having a thickness of 1 to 3 mm comprising a gas nitriding / ion nitriding inhibitor, carburizing inhibitor and antioxidant containing silicon oxide as a component, followed by quenching.
- This method solves the problem of damage and disappearance of the nitride layer caused by high-temperature heating by induction hardening of the nitride layer formed on the surface of the steel material as it is, and is a method of combining effects I and II.
