Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Pumpenkolben für Axialkolbenpumpen bestehend aus einem Keramikkolben und einem Antriebselement aus metallischem Werkstoff.The invention relates to a pump piston for axial piston pumps consisting of a ceramic piston and a drive element made of metallic material.

Kraftschlüssige, formschlüssige und stoffschlüssige Verbindungen zwischen keramischen und metallischen Werkstoffen sind bekannt. Die beiden ersten Verbindungsarten weisen jedoch verschiedene Nachteile auf. So unterliegen die verwendbaren Kleber Alterungserscheinungen, die eine Versprödung der Verbindung zur Folge haben. Der Einsatz geklebter Verbindungen ist beschränkt, da sich die organischen Kleber bei höheren Temperaturen zersetzen. In einigen Fällen können Klebeverbindungen auch aufgrund ihrer gegenüber manchen Chemikalien geringen Beständigkeit nicht eingesetzt werden. Geklemmte oder geschrumpfte Verbindungen können sich während der Betriebsdauer durch Setzungserscheinungen lockern. Formschlüssige Verbindungen haben den Nachteil, daß geometrisch komplizierte Teile mit höchster Präzision gefertigt werden müssen. Diese Forderung erschwert insbesondere die Fertigung der keramischen Komponenten.Non-positive, positive and material connections between ceramic and metallic materials are known. However, the first two types of connection have different disadvantages. The adhesives that can be used are subject to signs of aging, which result in the connection becoming brittle. The use of bonded connections is limited because the organic adhesives decompose at higher temperatures. In some cases, adhesive bonds cannot be used due to their low resistance to some chemicals. Clamped or shrunk connections can become loose during the operating period due to signs of settlement. Positive connections have the disadvantage that geometrically complex parts have to be manufactured with the highest precision. This requirement complicates the manufacture of ceramic components in particular.

Bei der stoffschlüssigen Verbindung wird der keramische Werkstoff mit einer Molybdänmanganmischung oder Wolfram metallisiert und anschließend mit geeigneten Loten in einem weiteren Arbeitsgang mit einem oder mehreren Metallpartnern verbunden. Direktes Löten ohne vorherige Metallisierung ist ebenfalls bekannt. Hierfür müssen allerdings Lote mit Titan, Zirkonium oder Hafnium-Anteilen verwendet werden. Zur Reduzierung der zwischen Metall und Keramik auftretenden Spannungen, die durch unterschiedliche Ausdehnungskoeffizienten hervorgerufen werden, ist allerdings die Verwendung von Metallen erforderlich, die in ihrem Ausdehnungsverhalten der Keramik angepaßt sind oder es werden spezielle Konstruktionen verwendet, die ebenfalls zu einem Spannungsabbau führen. So ist nach der US-A-4 778 345 das metallene Element, das mit dem keramischen Element verbunden wird, bezüglich seiner Härte H speziell an dieses angepaßt. Nach der EP-B-0 111 989 ist eine Verbindung zwischen einem keramischen Element und einem metallenen Element bekannt, bei der zwischen beiden Elementen ein Metallpuffer mit einem Wärmeausdehnungskoeffizienten von weniger als 14 x 10⁻⁶ pro °C angeordnet ist. Die Konstruktionen ertragen jedoch nur geringe mechanische Beanspruchung.In the integral connection, the ceramic material is metallized with a molybdenum manganese mixture or tungsten and then connected with suitable solders in a further work step with one or more metal partners. Direct soldering without prior metallization is also known. However, solders with titanium, zirconium or hafnium components must be used for this. To reduce the stresses between metal and ceramic caused by different Expansion coefficients are caused, however, the use of metals that are adapted in their expansion behavior of the ceramic is required, or special constructions are used, which also lead to a reduction in stress. According to US Pat. No. 4,778,345, the metal element which is connected to the ceramic element is specially adapted to it with regard to its hardness H. According to EP-B-0 111 989 a connection between a ceramic element and a metal element is known in which a metal buffer with a coefficient of thermal expansion of less than 14 x 10⁻⁶ per ° C is arranged between the two elements. However, the constructions can only withstand little mechanical stress.

Die aufgezeigten Mängel werden durch einen Pumpenkolben behoben, der dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, daß der Keramikkolben eine Stirnfläche aufweist, von der 20 bis 50 %, insbesondere 25 bis 60 % als Fügefläche für eine Lötverbindung mit dem Antriebselement ausgebildet ist.The deficiencies shown are remedied by a pump piston, which is characterized in that the ceramic piston has an end face of which 20 to 50%, in particular 25 to 60%, is designed as a joining surface for a soldered connection to the drive element.

Dabei spielt es keine Rolle, welche Teilflächen der Stirnfläche als Fügefläche ausgebildet sind. Hierfür eignen sich einzelne, individuelle Bereiche oder ringförmige Bereiche der Stirnfläche gleichermaßen, wobei diese Bereiche sich als erhabene oder zurückgesetzte Flächen von der Stirnfläche absetzen können. Die Verbindung Keramik-Metall kann durch Aktivlöten oder Passivlöten erfolgen. Für ersteres eignen sich Lote mit Anteilen von Titan, Zirkonium, Hafnium und ähnlichem; für letzteres Lote auf der Basis von Edelmetallen, Kupfer oder Legierungen hieraus oder auf Basis von Blei, Zinn, Zink oder Legierungen hieraus. Die Lötspalte können kleiner als 500 µm sein. Bei passivem Löten muß die Fügefläche metallisiert werden, wofür sich Molybdän, Molybdän-Mangan oder Wolfram eignet. Um die Benetzung für das Lot zu verbessern, können die metallisierten Flächen mit einer Nickelschicht versehen werden. Der Keramikkolben kann aus Aluminiumoxid mit Al₂O₃ - gehalten zwischen 80 und 100 % - oder Siliziumcarbid bestehen; der Antriebsteil aus Eisen - oder Nichteisenmetallen, wie z.B. legiertem oder unlegiertem Stahl, Austenit, Messing, Kupfer, Titan oder ähnlichem.It does not matter which part of the end face is designed as a joining surface. Individual, individual areas or annular areas of the end face are equally suitable for this purpose, these areas being able to stand out from the end face as raised or recessed areas. The ceramic-metal connection can be made by active soldering or passive soldering. For the former, solders with proportions of titanium, zirconium, hafnium and the like are suitable; for the latter solders based on precious metals, copper or alloys thereof or based on lead, tin, zinc or alloys. The soldering gaps can be smaller than 500 µm. With passive soldering, the joining surface must be metallized, for which molybdenum, molybdenum-manganese or tungsten is suitable. In order to improve the wetting for the solder, the metallized surfaces can be provided with a nickel layer. The ceramic piston can consist of aluminum oxide with Al₂O₃ - held between 80 and 100% - or silicon carbide; the drive part made of ferrous or non-ferrous metals, such as alloyed or unalloyed steel, austenite, brass, copper, titanium or the like.

Die Figur zeigt einen Pumpenkolben, bei dem der Keramikkolben (1), der teilweise geschnitten ist, durch Löten mit dem metallischen Antriebsteil (3) verbunden ist. Die Fügefläche bzw. die Lötfläche (2) ist in diesem Beispiel ringförmig ausgebildet.The figure shows a pump piston in which the ceramic piston (1), which is partially cut, is connected to the metallic drive part (3) by soldering. The joining surface or the soldering surface (2) is ring-shaped in this example.

Der Tabelle kann die Haftfestigkeit der Lötverbindung in Abhängigkeit von der Größe der Fügefläche entnommen werden. Alle Versuche wurden an Lötverbindungen von Stahlscheiben (ST 52) mit 27 mm Durchmesser und 3 mm Dicke und Keramikkolben (Aluminiumoxid) mit 20 mm Durchmesser durchgeführt.
