Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A control system for an electrically heated furnace for sintering powder bodies, especially bodies of hard metal, has a vacuum pump connected to the interior of the furnace chamber by a suction conduit.
  • the furnace includes a plurality of heating elements for different zones, a temperature sensitive instrument for each zone and a controlled measuring instrument for one of the zones which is the master zone. These instruments are connected to a master regulator for the furnace and slave regulators for the individual zones.
  • a throttle valve in the vacuum conduit, or a controlled tap connected to the vacuum conduit make it possible to keep the pressure in the furnace constant despite the fact that the pump runs at a constant speed.
  • a pressure-sensing member connected to the vacuum conduit is also connected to the regulators for the heating elements.
  • the present invention relates to a control system for a vacuum furnace for sintering powder bodies, preferably bodies of hard metal.
  • the control system regulates the heating of the furnace during that part of the heating process when degassing takes place.
  • the control system can be used in furnaces of the type described in Swedish published specification No. 333,437.
  • the Prior Art Bodies of hard metal are manufactured of powder containing carbides of tungsten, tantalium, titanium or vanadium or a mixture of two or more carbides of these substances and a binder which may consist of cobalt and/or nickel, or possibly iron.
  • the total carbide content is usually 70-99 percent and the content of binder 1-30 percent.
  • the powder has a great tendency to absorb or react with the gases in the atmosphere, mainly oxygen and water vapor. These substances are removed by degassing during heating, by performing the heating under vacuum. When hard metal is being degassed it is desirable to keep the pressure below a certain level during the entire degassing process.
  • the heating is usually carried out as quickly as possibly, i.e., the heating is performed with the highest power or with the highest permissible temperature gradient tolerated by the furnace or and workpiece.
  • the gas emission is usually very irregular, however, for hard metal and it has a pronounced maximum which for many composites is at about 700C. If, as is desirable, the gases are to be removed without the pressure rising above a certain level, an extremely large and expensive vacuum equipment is necessary with a' constant temperature gradient. Too much gas emission may also cause cracks in the workpiece due to the explosive action of the gases. In certain cases, therefore, the power supply has been controlled in accordance with the temperature.
  • the heating is controlled depending on the pressure in the furnace equipment is provided with pressure-sensing members to sense the pressure in the furnace or in a suction conduit and power, regulating members which, in accordance with the output signal fromsaid pressure sensing member, regulate the power supply to the heating element in the furnace.
  • Further characteristics of the invention include a control system for an electrically heated furnace for sintering powder bodies, especially bodies of hard metal, has a vacuum pump connected to the interior of the furnace chamber by a suction conduit.
  • the furnace includes a plurality of heating elements for different zones, a temperature sensitive instrument for each zone and a controlled measuring instrument for one of the zones which is the master zone.
  • a throttle valve in the vacuum conduit, or a controlled tap connected to the vacuum conduit, make it possible to keep the pressure in the furnace constant despite the fact that the pump runs at a constant speed.
  • a pressuresensing member connected to the vacuum conduit is also connected to the regulators for the heating elements.
  • the invention offers several advantages.
  • the gas emission within the temperature range where it is maximum can be limited to a maximum value adapted to a vacuum equipment and the size of the equipment can be considerably reduced, often to only 25 percent of what was previously considered suitable.
  • the control also makes it possible to very accurately determine the pressure within the temperature ranges where the gas emission is slight, so that the pressure can be held permanently above the level at which damaging gasification of components forming the hard metal is obtained, for example cobalt. In many cases it is suitable to keep a pressure of 1.10 torr in the furnace. The loss of cobalt is then negligible.
  • the control system also makes it possible in a controlled manner to regulate the pressure according to the temperature.
  • FIG. 1 shows schematically one embodiment of the invention
  • FIG. 2 a variant of a regulating means included in the means shown in FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 3 gas emission from a hard metal body weighing kg when heated with constant supply of power, i.e., with an approximately constant temperature gradient and
  • FIG. 4 shows the temperature of the workpiece as a function of the time when using the invention.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 designates a sintering furnace which is sealed with respect to the surroundings so that a vacuum can be maintained therein.
  • the furnace is connected by a conduit 2 to a pump 3.
  • a workpiece 4 which has been formed by compacting powder.
  • the furnace is a l is divided into four different zones, each with its own heating element 5a, 5b, 5c and 5d which through a cable 6 are supplied with electric power from a current source, not shown, by way of regulators 7a, 7b, 7c and 7d.
  • the cable contains conductor pairs 6a, 6b, 6c and 6d for the elements in each of the heating zones.
  • the regulators may be constructed of AC regulators with thyristors, for example ASEA type YQNA and of power regulators comprising Pl regulators, multipliers and summating means made by ASEA and designated QRTN 201, QRTF 205 and QRTF 201 and measuring units for voltage and current to the heating elements.

  • thermoelement 9 which sets the desired value for the temperature in the slave zones, which is equal to the real value in the master zone.
  • a temperature regulator 11 which is a master regulator and temperature regulators 12a, 12b and 12c which regulate the temperatures in the different zones of the furnace.
  • a regulator can be used which has a scale 13 on which a desired value can be set for the final sintering temperature to be reached.

  • the regulator 16 activates a servomotor 17 in FIG. 1 to set a throttle valve 18 in the vacuum conduit 2 so that the pressure in the furnace 1 can be kept constant in spite of a constant speed of the pump 3.
  • the equipment also includes a regulator 19 which can either be directly actuated by the output signal from the regulator or by a member which senses the position of the valve 18. In this way the regulator senses how much of the pump capacity is being used and delivers a signal dependent on this, this signal being delivered through the conduit 20 to the regulators 7a, 7b, 7c and 7d so that these increase the power supply to the furnace when the pump capacity is not fully exploited.
  • the regulator 19 may be a PI regulator, make ASEA, type QALB 210.
  • a power limiter 21 which senses the temperature derivative. This may be provided with a setting device for the desired value. The real value can be obtained by measuring the alteration of resistance in the heat coils in the master zone. When the real value exceeds the desired value the power limiter emits an output signal which is supplied to the regulators 7a, 7b, 7c and 7d so that they decrease the power supplied to the furnace.

  • the pressure in thefurnace l is regulated when the quantity of gas emitted is less than the pump capacity at the desired pressure, by letting air into the conduit 2 through a controllable valve 25.
  • This valve is operated by means of a servomotor 26 of the same type as the servomotor l7. Otherwise the equipment is in agreement with that shown in FIG. 1 and the function is the same.
