Abstract:
The quantification of the single or combined variation of the process parameters specific to a thermochemical treatment is the key to a full factorial experiment and a first step in the development of computer-aided process engineering. Powdery solid media are frequently used in the practice of thermochemical treatments when the number of processed products is reduced, additional investments are not justified, or when there are no technological alternatives. The control of the process carried out in such powdery solid media involves both the control of the thermal and temporal parameters of the process on the layer growth kinetics and its phase composition, as well as the ratio of the powdery solid mixture mass percentage (active and neutral components, reaction activators, and components with the role of blocking the sintering tendency of the medium particles). In this paper, using the specific full factorial experiment (that is, a first-order complete factorial experiment (CFE)), the full model of the regression equation of the interactions between the specific process parameters of the silicide layer formation in a powdery solid media, applied to the low alloy P265GH steel grade and used in the petrochemical industry, were evaluated. Fe-ARMCO was chosen as the reference in the experimental research carried out.
