System of single-piece flow case hardening for high volume production

Journal Title: Archives of Materials Science and Engineering - Year 2016, Vol 79, Issue 1

Abstract

Purpose: Purpose of this paper is development of single-piece flow system to precisionthermal treatment of parts of mechanical gear using a short-pulse low-pressure carburisingtechnology (developed for a new large-chamber furnace).Design/methodology/approach: Sections of the article discuss the novel constructionsof the device in which parts being carburised flow in a stream, as well as the low-pressurecarburising experiment.Findings: The method has been found proper carburised layers on typical gear used inautomotive industry.Research limitations/implications: The short-pulse low-pressure carburising technologyneeds further investigation to fully understand its all mechanisms.Practical implications: The device resulting from the experiment can be a fully robotisedpart of a production line which can be included in a system of automatic control of aproduction process.Originality/value: The device resulting from the experiment is only known solution on the world.
