Definitions
- the present invention relates to a mobile hardening method and a mobile hardening apparatus.
- induction hardening is widely used to improve the surface hardness, wear resistance, and fatigue resistance of parts.
- various induction hardening devices have been proposed. For example, when induction hardening a long member such as a steel shaft, so-called displacement hardening is performed. Traverse hardening is a method of hardening while moving a high-frequency induction heating coil (also referred to as a high-frequency coil) and a cooling means relative to the shaft-like body along the axial direction of the shaft-like body. .
- a high-frequency induction heating coil also referred to as a high-frequency coil
- the shaft-like body In moving hardening, the shaft-like body is locally heated by a high-frequency coil until at least the surface layer of the shaft-like body becomes an austenite phase. Next, by using a cooling means that follows the high-frequency coil, a cooling medium such as a cooling liquid is injected onto the surface of the heated shaft-shaped body to rapidly cool it in a short period of time, thereby converting the surface layer of the shaft-shaped body into a desired phase such as a martensite phase.
- the structure has hardness.
- the outer diameter of the shaft-shaped body may not be constant in the direction along its axis (also referred to as the axial direction). That is, in the axial direction of the shaft-like body, there is a shaft-like body having a small diameter portion having a relatively small outer diameter and a large diameter portion having a relatively large outside diameter. Further, the small diameter portion and the large diameter portion are connected by a step portion whose outer diameter gradually changes in the axial direction. For example, in the technology disclosed in Patent Document 1 or Patent Document 2, by moving split coils back and forth in the radial direction of the shaft-like body that is the heated object, changes in the outer diameter of the shaft-like body are accommodated. .
- variable diameter coil method has the advantage of simplifying the equipment configuration, it is important to appropriately control the moving speed of the coil.
- the reason is as follows. In order to uniformly heat the stepped portion of the shaft-like body in the axial direction, it is desirable to keep the moving speed along the surface as constant as possible when trying to move the coil along the radial direction of the shaft cross section. If the speed of movement of the coil in the axial direction is constant instead of the speed of movement along the surface, heating will be concentrated at the corners of the step, and the heating in the recesses of the step will be conversely reduced.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and provides a mobile hardening method and a mobile hardening device that can perform desired hardening on the step portion and the vicinity thereof in a shaft-shaped body whose outer diameter is not constant in the axial direction.

- the distance may be smaller than the distance between the high frequency coil and the cooling section in the axial direction when passing through the small diameter section or the large diameter section.
- the cooling unit injects a cooling medium,
- the injection amount or injection pressure of the cooling medium when the high-frequency coil passes through the stepped portion is determined from the injection amount or injection pressure of the cooling medium when the high-frequency coil passes through the small diameter portion or the large diameter portion. You can also make it smaller.

- the temperature of the surface of the shaft-like body at the boundary between the large diameter part and the stepped part was 1176°C. Further, the depth from the surface of the region heated to 800° C. or higher at the location was 5 mm.

- Example 3 In this example experiment, we will verify the hardening state when moving hardening is performed on a cylindrical shaft-like body made of carbon steel and having a constant outer diameter (170 mm) using a moving hardening device equipped with multiple high-frequency coils. For this purpose, we conducted an analysis using numerical simulation. The shape of the high-frequency induction part of the high-frequency coil was set along the outer diameter of the shaft-like body, and the number of high-frequency coils was three.
- the method for evaluating surface hardness and hardening depth is to obtain the temperature distribution of the shaft-shaped body through magnetic field analysis and heat transfer analysis, and to estimate the phase transformation from the time-series changes in the temperature distribution of each part of the shaft-shaped body.

- the hardness due to quenching tends to decrease when the moving speed of the high-frequency coil and the cooling section becomes slower, but the hardness due to quenching tends to decrease by improving the cooling capacity of the cooling section. can suppress the decrease in For this reason, the injection amount or injection pressure of the cooling medium when the high-frequency coil passes through the stepped portion is made smaller than the injection amount or injection pressure of the cooling medium when the high-frequency coil passes through the small diameter portion or the large diameter portion. It can be seen that the quenching hardness can be guaranteed by this.

軸状体10は、大径部11(大径部11A及び大径部11B)と、軸線Cに沿った方向において大径部11A及び大径部11Bの間に設けられた小径部12とを備えている。大径部11A、大径部11B及び小径部12は、それぞれ円柱状に形成されている。大径部11A、大径部11B及び小径部12のそれぞれの中心軸は、共通する軸線である軸線Cに一致するように配置されている。本実施形態においては、軸線Cを軸状体10の中心軸とする。以下では、小径部12に対して軸線Cに沿った方向の一方側D1に配置された部分を、第1大径部11Aとも称する。小径部12に対して軸線Cに沿った方向の他方側D2に配置された部分を、第2大径部11Bとも称する。
なお、軸状体10が備える大径部11や段差部13等の数は、図1の例に限定されない。小径部12、大径部11、段差部13の数はそれぞれ、1、2又は3でもよいし、4以上であってもよい。例えば、本実施形態の移動焼入れ方法及び移動焼入れ装置の対象となる軸状体は、1つの大径部と1つの小径部とを備える軸状体であってもよい。
移動焼入れ装置100は、加熱部110と、冷却部120と、支持部130と、加熱部移動装置140と、冷却部移動装置150と、制御部160とを備えている。図1に示すように、加熱部110は、複数の高周波コイル111(高周波コイル111A及び高周波コイル111B)を備えている。加熱部110は、移動手段である加熱部移動装置140に接続されている。冷却部120は、冷却環121を備えている。冷却部120は、移動手段である冷却部移動装置150に接続されている。支持部130は、上方センター131と、下方センター132と、を備えている。上方センター131は、軸状体10の第1大径部11Aを第1大径部11Aの上方から支持している。下方センター132は、軸状体10の第2大径部11Bを第2大径部11Bの下方から支持している。上方センター131と下方センター132は、軸線C方向の一方側D1が上方、他方側D2が下方となるように軸状体10を支持している。なお、軸状体10は、上方センター131と下方センター132によって支持された状態で、軸線Cを中心とした軸状体10の周方向に回転可能である。上方センター131と下方センター132を介して、駆動装置(図示せず)によって、移動焼き入れ時に軸状体10を軸状体10の軸周りに回転させることができる。軸状体10を軸周りに回転させるとは、軸状体10の軸線Cを中心とする周方向のいずれかに軸状体10を回転させることを意味する。上方センター131の中心と下方センター132の中心とを結ぶ線は移動焼入れ装置100の上下方向(上下方向とも称する)となる。
本実施形態の加熱部110は、複数の高周波コイルを備えている。図2に、加熱部110が備える高周波コイル111A及び高周波コイル111Bと軸状体10とを軸線Cに沿った方向に図1のA-A方向(軸方向と平行な方向)から見た模式的な平面図を示す。図2において軸状体10は小径部12の途中で破断した状態で示されている。図2に示すように、加熱部110が備える高周波コイル111A及び高周波コイル111Bは、軸状体10の軸線Cに沿った方向から見た平面視で、その一部が軸状体10を囲むようにC字形に形成された高周波誘導部112A及び高周波誘導部112Bを有している。高周波誘導部112Aはその端部で導電部113a及び113bへ接続されている。高周波誘導部112Bも同様に、その端部で導電部113c及び113dへ接続されている。
高周波コイル111は、非磁性で渦電流損が生じにくく、電気抵抗が小さくジュール損も生じにくい材料であるという理由から、銅などの材料で形成されていることが好ましい。なお、高周波コイル111の間もしくは高周波コイル111と軸状体10が接触しても短絡しないように、高周波コイル111の表面を耐熱性があり絶縁性が高いベークライトやシリコンなどの素材で覆ってもよい。
冷却部120は、加熱部110の相対的な移動方向の後方に配置されている。相対的な移動方向とは、移動焼入れ時に加熱部110が軸状体10に対して軸方向に相対的に移動する方向を意味する。本実施形態の場合は、加熱部110は図1のD1の方向へ移動しながら移動焼入れを実施するため、図1に示すように、冷却部120は加熱部110の下側に配置されている。図6に、本実施形態における軸状体10に対する加熱部110と冷却部120の位置関係を例示する。
V12=V1x2+V1z2 ・・・式A
ここで、V1xは高周波コイル111が段差部13を通過するときのX座標成分の速度であり、V1zは高周波コイル111が段差部13を通過するときのZ座標成分の速度である。
V0z2≦V1x2+V1z2 ・・・式B
高周波コイル111に流す電流によって被加熱体である軸状体10に生じる渦電流により、被加熱体の表面が発熱するが、上記のように単位時間あたりの移動距離を一定に保つことにより軸状体10の表面単位長さにおける単位時間あたりの該発熱エネルギーも一定となる。
V02≦Vs2+Vc2 ・・・式1
Vsは上記のV1zと同じであり、Vcは上記のV1xと同じである。
また、複数の高周波コイル111は、横平面において、互いに同じ速度で移動することが好ましい。
冷却の態様としては、CCT曲線上での冷却速度が、硬度変化が生じない範囲に抑えられるように、冷却媒体Clの噴出量もしくは噴出圧力を調整して冷却能を制御することが望ましい。より具体的には、高周波コイル111の軸方向の移動速度が速い場合は、冷却媒体Clの噴出量を多くするか又は冷却媒体Clの噴出圧力を強くし、加熱コイルの軸方向の移動速度が遅い場合は、冷却媒体Clの噴出量を少なくするか又は冷却媒体Clの噴出圧力を弱くする。熱伝達係数hと噴射水量(水量密度)Wの関係は、例えば、hはWのn乗(nは水冷条件によって決まる定数)に比例することが示されている(三塚:高温鋼材の冷却技術,鉄と鋼/79巻6号,p.N405-N416(1993))。ここで、冷却部120の移動速度が速いと、単位時間あたりの冷却能力が速度に反比例して落ちるため、速度上昇率の分だけ熱伝達係数hが大きくなるようにWnの噴射水量Wを決める。このようにすると、冷却部120の移動速度によらず冷却能力を一定に保てるため、被加熱体の冷却速度を望ましい範囲に保つことができる。
V02≦Vs2+Vc2 ・・・式1
上述の移動焼入れ装置の使用においては、制御部が、高周波コイルが段差部を通過するときの軸方向における高周波コイルと冷却部との距離を、高周波コイルが小径部又は大径部を通過するときの軸方向における高周波コイルと冷却部との距離よりも小さくなるように制御可能であってもよい。
上述の移動焼入れ装置の使用においては、制御部が、高周波コイルが段差部を通過するときの冷却媒体の噴射量又は噴出圧力を、高周波コイルが小径部又は大径部を通過するときの冷却媒体の噴射量又は噴出圧力よりも小さくなるように制御可能であってもよい。

実験例1と同様の数値シミュレーションによる解析を行った。本実験例では、実験例1と同じ軸状体と高周波コイルを採用した。軸状体の軸方向と軸方向に垂直な方向における高周波コイルの移動速度を制御することで、高周波コイルの軸状体の表面からの距離が一定となるようにした点は実験例1と同様である。
本実験例では、複数の高周波コイルを備える移動焼入れ装置を用いて、炭素鋼製、一定の外径(170mm)を有する円柱状の軸状体に移動焼入れを行ったときの焼入れ状態を検証するために、数値シミュレーションによる解析を行った。高周波コイルの高周波誘導部の形状は軸状体の外径に沿ったものとし、高周波コイルの数は3とした。
