Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of surface protection of iron-based powder metallurgy parts, and relates to a steam treatment process of iron-based powder metallurgy parts.

The steam treatment process is a chemical reaction generated between superheated steam and an iron matrix, and is represented by the following formula:
3Fe+4H2O==Fe3O4+4H2
Wherein, the generation of Fe 3O4 is a key factor affecting the hardness, wear resistance and air tightness of the iron-based powder metallurgy part, and the temperature, atmosphere (steam and hydrogen ratio) and charging amount can greatly influence the progress of the steam treatment process. It can be observed from the chemical equation that the consumption and generation ratio of the water vapor to the hydrogen is 1:1, and when the hydrogen in the steam treatment furnace is accumulated to a certain concentration, the reaction dynamics process is slowed down, so that the preparation efficiency is greatly influenced. The existing steam treatment process is to directly and continuously introduce steam into the furnace at a specific temperature for oxidation reaction, directly exhaust the gas in the furnace through a bypass, the ratio of the steam to the hydrogen in the furnace is not controllable, and the exhaust mode can not effectively exhaust the hydrogen in the furnace according to the actual production process, so that the steam treatment reaction rate can be gradually reduced along with the time. In addition, hydrogen cannot be smoothly discharged out of the furnace body, and defects in the steam treatment layer can be caused, so that the quality of the film layer is reduced.
Therefore, a new steam treatment process for iron-based powder metallurgy parts needs to be developed, and the requirements of high preparation effect, good wear resistance and good air tightness are met.

3) Then heating to the formation temperature of the steam treatment layer, preserving heat, vacuumizing at intervals in the heat preservation process, requiring the vacuum degree of the relative atmospheric pressure to be lower than-10 kPa, and introducing steam again for steam treatment, wherein the cycle number is more than or equal to 1;
