INDUCTION HEAT TREATMENT METHOD FOR CUTTER RING OF DISK CUTTER, AND CUTTER RING MANUFACTURED BY SUCH METHOD

摘要

The present invention relates to a method of performing heat treatment for a cutter ring of a disk cutter, capable of significantly improving impact resistance and abrasion resistance with respect to the cutter ring of the disk cutter provided in a TBM cutter head used to mechanically perform a full-surface excavation for a tunnel having a circular section, and the cutter ring of the disk cutter manufactured by the same method. The present invention provides a method of performing heat treatment for a cutter ring of a disk cutter, wherein the sectional cutter ring of the disk cutter comprises: a preform part (10) coupled with a rotational shaft and a hardening part (20) having a width narrower than that of the preform (10) and protruding radially and longitudinally. The method of the present invention comprises sequentially performing a quenching process for an entire portion of the cutter ring (1), a tempering process for the entire portion of the cutter ring (1), a process of heat treatment and high-frequency treatment for the hardening part (20) by an additional high frequency at a temperature of 1000-1050°C, and a forcible air-cooled process. Accordingly, the shock buffer region having hardness higher than that of the preform part (10) and lower than that of the hardening part (20) is formed between the preform part (10) and the hardening part (20).
