Definitions

  • the invention relates to the use of an iron-based alloy with a special composition as a material for the powder metallurgical production of parts with high corrosion resistance, high wear resistance and high toughness and pressure resistance, preferably for plastic molds, machine parts and tools for non-cutting shaping.
  • parts with high corrosion resistance, high wear resistance and high toughness and pressure resistance preferably for plastic molds, machine parts and tools for non-cutting shaping.
  • shaping parts are exposed to chemical and abrasive stresses at the same time, these parts having to have high material toughness, high pressure resistance and special material homogeneity due to the mechanical stresses.
  • Such requirements are placed, for example, on materials that are used in devices for pressing fiber-reinforced or filler-containing plastics.
  • Austenitic steels or chrome steels with a chromium content of approx. 18%, for example alloys according to DIN material no., are used for mechanical components such as screws etc. and also for forming and pressing tools, which are particularly exposed to corrosive stresses. 1.4528. Although such materials have sufficient corrosion resistance, the wear behavior is usually unsatisfactory in practical operation.
  • the invention is based on the object of avoiding the above disadvantages and, in particular, of creating materials which can be used advantageously for the plastics processing industry and which, due to a special composition when using certain manufacturing processes, provide high corrosion resistance, high wear resistance and high pressure resistance have good toughness properties.
  • the invention therefore relates to the use of an iron-based alloy with a composition in% by weight.
  • the matrix has a chromium content of at least 13% after hardening and tempering and the carbide content is at least 25% by volume, of which at least 5% by volume of the carbides are formed as MC carbides, the carbide grain size being less than 14 ⁇ m.
  • the material has a niobium content of 0.2 to 3.0 and / or a titanium content of 0.2 to 3.5 and / or a boron content of 0.001 to 0.002. It is particularly preferred if the value is formed from
  • the alloy according to the invention from a minimum value which takes into account the concentrations and the respective effect with the mutual influence of the carbide-forming elements chromium, vanadium, niobium and titanium and by which the wear resistance of the material in particular is determined, in certain narrow Limits set carbon contents and when using powder metallurgical manufacturing processes, materials that have high corrosion resistance, high wear resistance, high pressure resistance and high toughness at the same time and are advantageous, especially for the construction of plastic molds, can be used, the hardened and tempered state of the Chromium content in all areas of the matrix and the proportion as well as the composition and the grain size of the carbides can be adjusted according to the invention.
  • an alloy powder was produced in the gas atomization process. After the powder had been poured into a capsule with a diameter of 250 mm and the capsule had been evacuated and sealed gas-tight, it was thermoformed at 1110 ° C. using a 6-fold degree of deformation. After soft annealing at 880 to 900 ° C and slow cooling, plastic molds were made from the forging rod. The hardness of the material was approx. 280 HB. The parts were hardened after heating to a temperature of 1140 ° C. by cooling in a warm bath, whereupon a hardness value of 61 HRC was measured. After tempering at 540 ° C the material hardness was 59 HRC.
  • the wear behavior of the part was tested in the grinding wheel test, in which a steel disc rotates in a corundum-water mixture, against which the sample is pressed. The following wear conditions were applied:
