Description
1089~B6 ~`
This invention relates to a method of making a composite part of movably interconnected dissimilar metal elements, such as a piston and connecting rod insert.
U.S. Patent 3,763,535 discloses the method for fabricating an article such~as a piston which has a cap-tured connecti~g rod journaled therein. The piston is cast around the connecting rod insert end at a pressure selected to provide, upon cooling, a clearance between the insert and the piston. The selected casting pressures are well under 2~00 psi. Die casting pressures in the order of 3000 to 10,000 psi will produce a casting in which the connecting rod insert is irretrievably locked in place.
The present invention in its broadest aspect relates to a method for making a composite part of movably inter-connected dissimilar metal elements which comprises (a) introducing into a casting die a first metal element having a bearing surface thereon; (b) casting a second metal element having a lower melting point and a higher thermal conductivity than said first metal element in said castlng die to form a composite part in which said first metal element is captured at least in part in said ~;
second metal element; (c) thermally treating said composite part to provide a temperature differential between said first metal element and said second metal element whereby to free said first metal element and ~
bearing surface from said second metal element and ;
thereby establish a clearance thetebetween; and , (d) restoring the elements of said composite part to the same temperature at which no further significant contraction or expansion of said elements occurs.
. .
~...... -.' ' ' ' . ~ , ~
More particularly it provides a method for die casting a composite article such as a piston and connect-ing rod insert, for example, in which normal die casting pressures of, for example, from 3000 psi. and higher may be used. Die casting is highly advantageous in making articles of this nature because the process is faster and less expensive than other casting processes. Though the composite casting is ejected from the die with the parts frozen together, the present invention provides a method to free them one from the other. We have found that if a composite aluminum alloy-iron alloy casting is heat treated by the method of this invention, the initially frozen parts are freed and a very satisfactory product results. In more specific terms the procedure can be as ~ollows:

housing. This step includes the application of a coating of polytetrafluoroethylene ( hereinafter referred to by its trademark " Teflon " ) to the bearing surface prior to casting.
Certain preferred embodiments of the invention are illustrated by the attached drawings in which:
Figure l is a central, vertical, sectional view of a piston having a spherical connecting rod insert cast in place:
Figure 2 is a similar view showing a cylindrical insert configuration;
Figure 3 is a section on line 3-3 of Figure 2;
Figure 4 is a diagrammatic sectional view of a part having a cast-in-place conical insert; and Figure 5 is a diagrammatic sectional view of a part having a cast-in-place double cone insert.
The present invention constitutes a method for making any composite part such as those shown in the drawings wherein a first element such as a connecting rod is designated 10. The first ~element is received in a second element such as the body of a piston 12. The composite part need not be a piston-connecting rod com-bination, but this combination lends itself to an easily understandable description of our new method. ~ ;
In manufacturing a composite member, a first element such as a connecting rod lO is provided with a bearing ll which ultimately journals the elements of the combination ~-with respect to each other. The element is inserted into a die casting die having an appropriate configuration.
If desired, and such is usually the case, the bearing end 11 of the connecting rod is ~irst given a lubricant coating .
by swabbing the exposed end of the insert with, for example, a colloidal graphite suspension. In some instances a second lubricant such as a coating of " Teflon " is sprayed on. Coating may advantageously take place outside the die casting machine as well as after the insert has been placed in the die. The exterior of the "Teflon" coating as it is applied appears to be rough in texture, but after casting it appears that the coating has been transplanted to the surrounding casting and that the first element moves with respect to the coating which, of course, has a very low coefficient of friction.
It will be assumed that the first element of the composite part is a ferrous alloy of a composition conven-tionally used for the desired part. Such an alloy may have a melting point in the range of 2500F. to 2800F. and a coefficient of thermal expansion of 8.3 x 10-6 in. per in.
per degree F.
:;`",'i , After the first element has been properly coated and inserted into the die casting machine the die halves are closed and the shot made. The die casting pressure is normally from 3000 psi. to 10,000 psi. for an aluminum alloy. ;~-The aluminum alloy is prefera~ly of a characte~ of the alloy ¦~
known commercially as 380 alloy which has a nominal composition:
.. . .
Si................. ..9% Mg........................ .2% ~-Fe................. 1.0% Al........................ Balance Cu................. 3.5%
The melting point of such an alloy is in the range of 1000F.
-~ to 1100F. and its coefficicnt of thermal expansion is 11.7 x 10 6 in. per in. per degree F. -_ 5 _ ~
:.:. , .
1089~86 By inspection of the drawings it will be seen that the cast metal surrounds more th2n 180 of the bearing part 11 of the connecting rod so that the first element is captured by the second. The parts are ejected from the die casting machine in a locked condition and are incapable of relative movement because the cast metal has shrunk around the insert.
The composite casting is ejected from the die cast-ing machine while it is still at a tcmperaturc of about 700F.
to 800F. and i9 pre~erably quenched promptly in water to cool it to room temperature.
The composite casting is then placed in a furnace held at a temperature of between 850F. and 950~. where it will be rapidly reheated. The cast-ing remains in the furnace for a period of ten to ~ twenty minutes depending upon the final clearance de-; sired for the bearing. Longer reheat time gives greater clearance for the bearing in the final product~
, ~or example, in a part in which the bearing diameter was .565 inches and a clearance of 0.0005 inches was desired a reheat time of 25 minutes was preferred.
.
A~ter reheating, the composite part is again quenched in water. -At about 600F. the surrounding aluminum alloy has a greatly reduced tensile strength and yield point and reheating has carried the aluminum alloy above this temperature. Quenching now results in a rapid contraction of the aluminum alloy around the still hot ferrous alloy element. As the aluminum cools it appears to take a permanent set at the ex-.'-.
' . ' ~ . . . ~ , ~ .
panded dimension of the ferrous alloy part which i~cooled l~ter in the quenching cycle because it has been largely insulated rom the quenching liquid by the aluminum alloy. When the ferrous ~lloy element finally reaches thc t~mperature of the quenching medium a ~lear-ance exists between the elements and the bearing is now free in its socket.
A preferred final step in the process consists in hardening the aluminum alloy by soaking at a tempera-ture of from 320F. to 350~F. for a period of about four hours. This har~ening or aging of the aluminum alloy is known to improve its resistance to wear, and its hardness, and is known as a T-5 heat treatment.
After aging the parts are again cooled and are now ready for final assembly and the bearing surface 11 is fully operative to journal one part with respect to the -other. The graphite and"Teflon"coatings have not been destroyed by the successive heating and cooling steps but -are functional to serve as inplace lubricants. The har~
dening treatment has given the aluminum alloy a Brinell hardness of approximately 100 so that minimum wear occurs.
,.' ~-As'previously noted, the "Teflon" coating appears to be stationary with respect to the body 12 and the bearing -11 moves therein. This transplanting of the "Teflon" coating from the bearing 11 to the body 12 probably takes place during the die casting operation itself.
The configuration of the insert, whether it be spheric~l, cylindrical or conical is not important since the method can be employed with any of these confiourations and others.
It has been found that instead of reheating the casting as in steps3 and 4 ctated above, a clearance between the parts can be established by immersing the casting in liquid nitrogen for a period of 15 to 30 minutes. In this case the aluminum shrinks away from the ferrous alloy part due to its high heat conductivity After the shrinkagc step the heat treatment proceeds as before. This phenomenon would give rise to the proposition that it is only necessary to establish a temperature differ~
ential between the two alloys to bring about the desired ~ ;
clearance. The time required will depend on the relative mass of the parts being treated. ;-;, --' ' !`~
