Description

Golf club head alloy and manufacturing method of golf club head
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a golf club head alloy, and more particularly, to a golf club head alloy having high strength, and a method for manufacturing a golf club head using the same.
Background
Titanium alloy (e.g., ti-72S) is widely used as an alloy for golf club heads because it has excellent strength, corrosion resistance and heat resistance, and for example, the alloy for golf club heads of Ti-72S comprises 6.5 to 7.5% by weight of aluminum, 1.55 to 1.95% by weight of iron, 0.12 to 0.16% by weight of silicon, 0.11 to 0.15% by weight of oxygen, and the balance of titanium and inevitable impurities, so that the golf club heads made of the conventional alloy for golf club heads can have a predetermined strength to provide a proper feel to users.
However, in the process of casting the conventional golf club head alloy, segregation of the golf club head alloy is easily caused due to the specific metal ratio composition in the golf club head alloy, that is, in the golf club head made of the golf club head alloy, the distribution of atoms formed inside the crystal grains of the golf club head is easily uneven, so that the segregation is easily generated when the golf club head is cast from the golf club head alloy, and the strength of the golf club head is reduced, thereby reducing the production yield of the golf club head.
In view of the above, there is a need for an improved golf club head alloy.
Disclosure of Invention
To solve the above problems, it is an object of the present invention to provide a golf club head alloy that can improve the strength of a golf club head made of the alloy.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a golf club head, which can improve the yield of the golf club head.
The use of the terms "a" or "an" or "the" or similar referents in the context of describing the invention is for convenience and to provide a general sense of the scope of the invention; in the present invention, it is to be understood that the singular includes plural unless it is obvious that it is meant otherwise.
The golf club head alloy of the present invention comprises: 7 to 8 percent of aluminum, 2 to 3 percent of molybdenum, 1.4 to 2.0 percent of chromium, 0.5 to 1.1 percent of vanadium, 0.35 to 1 percent of silicon, and the balance of titanium and inevitable impurities.
Accordingly, the golf club head alloy of the present invention can precipitate more second phases through the composition ratio of aluminum, molybdenum, chromium, vanadium and silicon, so that the golf club head alloy of the present invention has better tensile strength, yield strength and hardness, so that the golf club head manufactured by the golf club head alloy has better strength, and through the composition of the golf club head alloy of the present invention (for example, chromium replaces iron in the existing golf club head alloy, and contains molybdenum and vanadium), the non-uniform phenomenon of the atomic arrangement in the alloy crystal can be avoided, so as to avoid the defects of segregation phenomenon, dislocation slippage and the like, which is helpful for improving the strength of the golf club head alloy, so that the golf club head (or a face plate thereof) manufactured by the golf club head alloy is not easy to deform or break during striking, thereby realizing the effect of improving the quality of the golf club head. In addition, when the golf club head alloy is used for manufacturing the golf club head, the defects of the manufactured golf club head can be avoided, and the high-strength golf club head can be manufactured, so that the effect of improving the production yield of the golf club head can be realized.
The method for manufacturing a golf club head of the present invention comprises: manufacturing a golf club head from the golf club head alloy; and heating the golf club head at 400-700 ℃ for 0.5-1.5 hours for aging treatment.
Another method for manufacturing a golf club head according to the present invention comprises: making a striking plate from the golf club head alloy; welding the striking plate to a club head body to form a golf club head; welding the striking panel to a club head body to form a golf club head; and heating the golf club head at 400-700 ℃ for 0.5-1.5 hours for aging treatment.
Therefore, the method for manufacturing the golf club head of the invention can avoid the segregation phenomenon and the dislocation slippage and other defects of the manufactured golf club head by manufacturing the golf club head by using the alloy of the invention, can manufacture the high-strength golf club head, and can realize the effect of improving the production yield of the golf club head.
Wherein, the golf club head alloy can contain 2.2 to 2.8 weight percent of molybdenum. Therefore, the alloy of the golf club head can have high yield strength by adjusting the molybdenum, and has the effect of being capable of being made into a high-strength golf club head.
Wherein the molybdenum equivalent of the golf club head alloy can be between-6.20 and-1.38. Thus, by adjusting the molybdenum equivalent, the golf club head alloy can generate beta phase, and the effect of forming alpha + beta phase when the golf club head alloy is made into the golf club head is achieved.
Wherein the aluminum equivalent of the golf club head alloy can be 7.7-8.7. Thus, by adjusting the aluminum equivalent, the golf club head alloy can generate beta phase, and the effect of forming alpha + beta phase when the golf club head alloy is made into the golf club head is achieved.
Wherein the phase structure of the aged golf club head may comprise 70-90% of alpha phase, 5-15% of beta phase and 10-26% of Ti 3 An Al phase. Thus, the golf club head alloy can contain a second phase except for the alpha phase and the beta phase, and has the effects of increasing yield strength and increasing hardness.

In order to make the aforementioned and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention comprehensible, preferred embodiments accompanied with figures are described in detail below:
a preferred embodiment of the golf club head alloy of the present invention comprises: the alloy for a golf club head preferably contains, in terms of weight percentage, 7 to 8% of aluminum (Al), 2 to 3% of molybdenum (Mo), 1.4 to 2.0% of chromium (Cr), 0.5 to 1.1% of vanadium (V), 0.35 to 1% of silicon (Si), and the balance of titanium (Ti) and unavoidable impurities, and the alloy for a golf club head preferably contains 2.2 to 2.8% of molybdenum, and the unavoidable impurities may contain at least one element selected from tungsten (W), tin (Sn), oxygen (O), niobium (Nb), tantalum (Ta), nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co), manganese (Mn), and zirconium (Zr).
In particular, the chromium, silicon, molybdenum and vanadium can provide the golf club head alloy with a predetermined strength, and the molybdenum and vanadium can provide the golf club head alloy with a better plasticity for subsequent processing and casting operations, and in addition, the molybdenum and vanadium can prevent segregation during processing and casting of the golf club head alloy.
Wherein the molybdenum equivalent ([ Mo ]] eq ) And aluminum equivalent ([ Al ]] eq ) The molybdenum equivalent and the aluminum equivalent refer to different metal elements which can produce the same effect with molybdenum metal or aluminum metal, and are respectively expressed by a multiplying factor as follows, when the elements which can produce the same effect with molybdenum metal or aluminum metal are contained in an alloy, the weight percentages of the elements are respectively multiplied by the multiplying factor and added, and the total effect which can be realized by the molybdenum metal or the aluminum metal in the alloy is obtained. The molybdenum equivalent of the golf club head alloy is shown as formula 1.
Formula 1:
[Mo] eq =1Mo+1.25V+0.59W+0.28Nb+0.22Ta+1.93Fe+1.84Cr+1.5Cu+2.46N i+2.67Co+2.26Mn+0.3Sn+0.47Zr+3.01Si-1.47Al
the aluminum equivalent of the golf club head alloy is shown in formula 2.
Formula 2:
[Al] eq =1Al+1/3Sn+1/6Zr
the molybdenum equivalent is-6.20 to-1.38, the aluminum equivalent is 7.7 to 8.7, and the molybdenum equivalent and the aluminum equivalent can increase the beta phase of the golf club head alloy to form an alpha + beta phase, so that the golf club head with high yield strength can be manufactured from the golf club head alloy, and the golf club head with good strength can be formed.
In order to confirm that the golf club head made of the alloy for golf club head of the present invention has good strength, the mechanical properties of the conventional Ti-72S alloy (group 1) and the golf club head made of an embodiment of the present invention (group 2) after aging at an aging temperature of 600 ℃ for 1 hour were measured as shown in table 1, and the results are shown in table 2.
TABLE 1 composition ratio of the golf club head alloys of each group in this test
Group of Al Mo V Cr Si O N Fe Ti
1 7.25 - - - 0.14 0.13 0.01 1.83 Bal
2 7.41 2.54 0.76 1.62 0.35 0.13 0.02 - Bal
TABLE 2 mechanical Properties of the alloys of the respective groups
Group of Tensile strength (ksi) Yield strength (ksi) Young's modulus (Gpa)
Group 1 155~175 145~165 110~130
Group 2 176~185 170~180 110~130
According to the above test results, it can be seen that the tensile strength and yield strength of the golf club head made of the alloy of the present invention are higher than those of the conventional golf club head made of Ti-72S, indicating that the golf club head made of the alloy of the present invention has high strength.
It is noted that the alloy has two isomers in the solid state, namely an alpha phase at normal temperature and a beta phase at high temperature, and a phase transition between the alpha phase and the beta phase is formed during the heating of the alloy, and when the alloy is subjected to heat treatment at a predetermined aging temperature, a second phase other than the alpha phase and the beta phase, which is a general term for the phases other than the alpha phase and the beta phase, can be precipitated from the alloy, and the presence of the second phase contributes to increase the yield strength to increase the hardness of the material, namely Precipitation hardening (Precipitation hardening), and it is observed that the alloy for the golf club head of the present invention has a phase structure after being heated at the aging temperature of 600 ℃, and the alloy for the golf head comprises 70 to 90% of the alpha phase, 5 to 15% of the beta phase and 10 to 26% of Ti 3 Al phase, and a phase structure obtained by heating at an aging temperature of 500 ℃ to obtain a golf club head alloy containing 60 to 80% of an alpha phase, 5 to 15% of a beta phase, and 15 to 26% of Ti 3 Al phase, so that the golf club head alloy can precipitate 10-25% of Ti 3 The Al phase has good yield strength and hardness. Further, the precipitation of the second phase was observed by continuing to observe the phase structure ratio formed at the aging temperatures of 600 ℃ and 500 ℃ for the conventional Ti-72S alloy and the golf club head alloy of the present invention, and the results are shown in Table 3.
TABLE 3 comparative examples of the alloys of the respective groups
Figure BDA0003099348430000061
From the above results, it can be seen that the conventional alloy for a golf club head Ti-72S (group 1) precipitates only 0.5% of the second phase (Ti) 5 Si 3 ) While the second phase precipitated from the alloy for golf club head of the present invention has a composition of 12.8-28.8% (Ti) 3 Al、Ti 5 Si 3 And Laves phase) shows that the golf club head alloy of the present invention can actually precipitate moreTwo phases and has high strength. In addition, the Dislocation movement of crystal lattice arrangement caused by local irregular arrangement of atoms in the alloy crystal is called Dislocation slip (Dislocation), which is regarded as a defect in the alloy and can cause deformation of metal, if the Dislocation slip can be avoided, the metal can be hardened, therefore, the golf club head alloy of the invention has better strength, namely, the alloy composition of the golf club head of the invention can also avoid Dislocation slip to reduce the occurrence of alloy defects, and compared with the existing Ti-72S alloy, the golf club head alloy of the invention can form better mechanical properties (tensile strength and yield strength) when being manufactured into the golf club head, and the manufactured golf club head can be prevented from having the defects of segregation phenomenon, dislocation slip and the like, so that the quality of the golf club head made of the golf club head alloy is improved.
For example, the golf club head alloy of the present invention can be used to manufacture a golf club head or a part of the components of the golf club head, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Continuously welding the striking plate to a club head body to form the golf club head, heating the golf club head at 400-700 ℃ for 0.5-1.5 hours for aging treatment, preferably at 450-550 ℃ for 0.5-1.5 hours, thereby changing the mechanical properties and plasticity of the striking plate, so that the striking plate has a tensile strength of 176-200 ksi, a yield strength of 170-190 ksi and a yield strength of 4.39-4.43 g/cm 3 Has good mechanical properties. In addition, the striking panel is welded on the club head body and then subjected to aging treatment, so that the striking panel can be prevented from changing in size and being incapable of being welded on the club head body.
TABLE 4 mechanical Properties at different ageing temperatures
Aging temperature Tensile strength (ksi) Yield strength (ksi) Young's modulus (Gpa)
600℃ 176~185 170~180 110~130
500℃ 186~200 181~190 131~150
In addition, the mechanical properties of the golf club head according to one embodiment of the present invention (set 2 in table 1) were measured after aging at aging temperatures of 500 ℃ and 600 ℃ for 1 hour, and the results are shown in table 3. When the golf club head was heated at 500 ℃ for 1 hour for aging, the mechanical properties of the golf club head were better than those of the golf club head subjected to aging at an aging temperature of 600 ℃ for 1 hour.
In summary, the golf club head alloy of the present invention can separate out more second phases through the composition ratio of aluminum, molybdenum, chromium, vanadium and silicon, so that the golf club head alloy of the present invention has better tensile strength, yield strength and hardness, and the golf club head manufactured by the golf club head alloy has better strength. In addition, when the golf club head alloy is used for manufacturing the golf club head, the defect of the manufactured golf club head can be avoided, and the high-strength golf club head can be manufactured, so that the effect of improving the production yield of the golf club head can be realized.
