19、s shall meet the requirements of AMS2769. 3.1.2.3 Heating Media Protective atmospheres shall be used whenever heat treating temperature is above 1550 F (843 C) unless parts will have sufficient surface material removed after heat treatment to eliminate high temperature atmospheric effects, such as o

20、xidation, alloy depletion, and carburization. Certain of the alloys listed in 8.2 require protective atmospheres for heat treatments under 1550 F (843 C) and these requirements are noted with the detailed heat treating instructions for these alloys. Acceptable protective atmospheres include argon, h

21、elium, hydrogen, vacuum, and vacuum with partial pressure of any of these three gases. In addition, for non-age-hardening alloys, neutral salt baths and exothermic gas atmospheres are acceptable protective atmospheres when approved by the cognizant engineering organization (see 8.4.6). Direct fired

22、furnaces shall be controlled so that there is no direct flame impingement on the parts. SAE INTERNATIONAL AMS2774E Page 4 of 31 3.1.2.3.1 Argon, Helium, and Hydrogen Gases Shall meet the composition requirements of MIL-A-18455 (argon), CGA G-11.1, Grade C (argon), MIL-PRF-27407 (helium), CGA G-9.1,

The dew point of the gas shall be -60 F (-51 C) or lower as the gas enters the furnace. Atmospheres of any of these gases in the furnace work zone shall have sufficient purity to

24、 avoid contamination or degradation of any part surfaces which will not have surface material removed after heat treatment. 3.1.2.3.2 Vacuum and Partial Pressure Atmospheres Shall be sufficient to avoid contamination or degradation of any part surface which will not have surface material removed aft

25、er heat treatment. Unless otherwise specified by the cognizant engineering organization, as a minimum, vacuum furnaces shall have a cold leak rate of a maximum of 20 microns (20 m) per hour, which shall be determined 15 to 60 minutes after closing the vessel and evacuation to 50 microns (50 m) or lo

26、wer, and shall be operated at pressures not higher than 10 microns (10 m) of mercury unless argon, helium, hydrogen, or a mixture of argon and helium gas conforming to 3.1.2.2.1 is used to provide a partial pressure. 3.1.2.3.2.1 Argon or helium conforming to 3.1.2.3.1 or a mixture of the two, may be

27、 used to achieve partial pressures whenever necessary to avoid surface alloy depletion by sublimation of high vapor pressure elements such as aluminum and chromium. 3.1.2.3.2.2 Cooling may be accelerated by back-filling with argon or helium conforming to 3.1.2.3.1 or nitrogen conforming to either MI

28、L-PRF-27401, Grade C or CGA G-10.1, Grade L, or combinations thereof, meeting the dew point requirements of 3.1.2.3.1. 3.1.2.3.3 Salt Baths Acceptable only for non-age-hardening alloys and, when approved by the cognizant engineering organization, shall be neutral with respect to the alloy being trea

29、ted so as to avoid contamination or degradation of any part surfaces which will not be machined after heat treatment. 3.1.2.3.4 Exothermic Atmospheres Acceptable only for non-age-hardening alloys and, when approved by the cognizant engineering organization, shall be produced by the combustion of fue

32、 for each alloy. Acceptable cooling media may include air, oil, water, water-polymer solutions, salt, brine (nominally 10% by weight NaCl), argon, helium, hydrogen, nitrogen, and vacuum. The medium selected shall not contaminate or degrade any part surface which will not be machined after heat treat

33、ment. When air cooling (AC) (see 8.4.15) or rapid air cooling (RAC) (see 8.4.16) is specified, cooling media shall be used which will provide protection, if required, to avoid contamination or degradation of finished surfaces; cooling rates shall be achieved that will be equivalent to, or faster tha

34、n, rates that would be achieved by AC or RAC, as specified. SAE INTERNATIONAL AMS2774E Page 5 of 31 3.1.4.1 Quenching Quenching baths shall permit complete immersion of parts and free movement of the quenchant adjacent to all surfaces of parts. Equipment shall agitate or circulate the quenchant and/

36、greases, oils, inks, pencil marks, and metal particles produced by machining or forming operations. 3.2.1.2 After Heat Treatment Parts which have been heat treated in molten salt or cooled in oil, molten salt, brine or water-polymer solution shall be thoroughly cleaned to remove all residues of thes

37、e materials. 3.2.2 Racking 3.2.2.1 Except as permitted in 3.2.2.2, parts shall be racked to ensure uniform heating and cooling throughout the load. Parts shall not be nested unless tests with load thermocouples have demonstrated that the arrangement will not affect uniformity of heating and cooling

38、and will not reduce cooling rate below minimum requirements. 3.2.2.2 Rivets, bolts, nuts, and other small parts may be racked or heated and soaked in baskets or in a continuous furnace. Parts shall not be nested. Maximum thickness of layers, and minimum space between layers, shall be 1 inch (25 mm).

39、 3.2.3 Control Instruments Shall be set either at the set temperature (see 8.4.5) specified or at the offset temperature (see 8.4.5) based on the last temperature uniformity determination. The offset temperature shall be within 5 F (3 C) for precipitation treatments, and 10 F (6 C) for other treatme

40、nts, of the specified set temperature and shall be posted on the instrument. The offset temperature shall be selected to optimize the temperature distribution within the furnace so that the highest and lowest temperatures are equidistant from the set temperature. 3.2.3.1 The posting of the offset te

41、mperature shall include, or consist of, a statement of both the “desired” temperature and the corresponding “set” temperature; e.g., “When 1000 F is desired, set at 1004 F.” 3.2.4 Heat Treatment Shall be performed as follows unless an alternate treatment has been specified by the purchase order or b
