1. Introduction
Bearings are widely used in a variety of mechanical transmission modes, including motor vehicles, and is widely used in all kinds of machinery and equipment. At present, modern bearing and its parts need to be heat-treated, such as deep nitriding treatment, ultra-high-temperature tempering of bearing steel rings, carburizing and quenching treatment of bearing steel etc., which realizes the superior performance and life expectancy of various bearing products. In order to meet the application requirements of the bearing industry, the new generation of controllable atmosphere heat treatment furnace has come into being, which has the advantages of high temperature uniformity, good repeatability, high adaptability, suitable for all kinds of bearing heat treatment process and so on.
2. Characteristics and Advantages of the Controllable Atmosphere Heat Treatment Furnace
The controllable atmosphere heat treatment furnace is a new type of furnace with advanced technology and process control.

In addition, it is easy to be controlled and adjusted, and has a high degree of automation, making it highly efficient and fast, which can greatly improve the quality of the bearing.
Moreover, the controllable atmosphere heat treatment furnace can also be used in different working parameters, such as constant current heating, air cooling, forced cooling and other working conditions, to guarantee the bearing processing quality and production efficiency. The controllable atmosphere heat treatment furnace provides a unique, safe, accurate and controllable working environment for the heat-treatment process, which greatly improves the production efficiency and products quality and safety of the bearing industry.
3. Technical Parameters and Its Application Process
The controllable atmosphere heat treatment furnace mainly consists of three parts: furnace housing, heating chamber and controlling system. The furnace housing is designed with high-grade steel, which has a heat resistance of up to 300 degrees Celsius, and has a fully sealed structure, which can reduce heat loss and save energy. The heating chamber is designed with infrared radiation tubes, which has a high degree of energy saving and efficiency. The temperature controller can accurately control the temperature within the furnace, which makes the heating uniformity improved by 25%.
The controllable atmosphere heat treatment process mainly includes the following steps: degreasing, cleaning, hardening, quenching, tempering and so on. Through the adjustment of the furnace body temperature and cooling rate, the required physical and chemical properties of the bearing steel can be obtained, such as hardenability, surface corrosion resistance, impact toughness, fatigue strength. In addition, the controllable atmosphere heat treatment furnace can also be used to control the oxidation and decarbonization of the bearing, improve the surface adhesion of the bearing, reduce the stress concentration and minimize the risk of deformation.
4. Application Characteristics and Trends
The controllable atmosphere heat treatment furnace has been widely applied in the bearing industry due to its superior performance and convenience of operation. In terms of bearing heat treatment process, the controllable atmosphere heat treatment furnace can be used to directly control the temperature and atmosphere of the bearing, which greatly improves the quality of the bearing and its performance. In terms of production efficiency and cost, the controllable atmosphere heat treatment furnace is characterized by high automation, good repeatability, high temperature uniformity, fast response, and convenient and simple operation, which greatly reduces the cost and time of the bearing heat treatment.
With the development of the bearing industry and the improvement of the bearing manufacturing technology, the controllable atmosphere heat treatment furnace technology will be further developed and improved, which will fully realize intelligent control, automated operation and data acquisition for bearing heat treatment process, and further improve the bearing heat treatment process, thereby improving the production efficiency and rationality.
