Abstract

The scholarly literature records information related to the performance increase of the cutting tools covered by the superficial layers formed “in situ” when applying thermochemical processing. In this context, information is frequently reported on the carbamide role in processes aiming carbon and nitrogen surface saturation. Sulfur, together with these elements adsorbed and diffused in the cutting tools superficial layers, undoubtedly ensures an increase of their operating sustainability. The present paper discusses the process of sulfonitrocarburizing in pulverulent solid media of high-speed tools steel (AISI T1, HS18-0-1) and its consequences. The peculiarity of the considered process is that the source of nitrogen and carbon is mainly carbamide (CON2H4), which is found in solid powdery mixtures together with components that do not lead to cyan complex formation (non-toxic media), and the sulfur source is native sulfur. The kinetics of the sulfonitrocarburizing process, depending on the carbamide proportion in the powdered solid mixture and the processing temperature, was studied. The consequences of the achieved sulfonitrocarburized layers on the cutting tools’ performance are expressed by the maximum permissible cutting speed and the maximum cut length. An interesting aspect is highlighted, namely the possibility of using chemically active mixtures. Their components, by initiation of the metallothermic reduction reaction, become able to provide both elements of interest and the amount of heat needed for the ultrafast saturation of the targeted metal surfaces.
