ABSTRACT:
A carburization and quenching apparatus includes: a plurality of carburizing chambers for carburizing thin plate parts; a gas cooling chamber for cooling the thin plate parts carburized in the carburizing chambers; and a reservoir tank 3 connected to the gas cooling chamber for delivering a cooling gas into the gas cooling chamber. The plurality of carburizing chambers are positioned at an approximately equal distance from the gas cooling chamber to surround the gas cooling chamber.
In a continuous furnace, thin plate parts can be transported successively at least between a carburizing chamber and a pressurized cooling chamber. The thin plate parts are carburized in the carburizing chamber and then rapidly quenched in the pressurized cooling chamber by cooling the thin plate parts with a pressurized gas which can be e.g. inert gas.
