Description
L'invention concerne une méthode de préparation d'échantillons métalliques de référence pour analyse spectrographique.The invention relates to a method for preparing reference metal samples for spectrographic analysis.
Les échantillons métalliques de référence sont généralement préparés par coulée classique et écroûtage ou par métallurgie des poudres (mdp) et compactage. Ils se présentent généralement sous forme de cylindres dont la section droite usinée est soumise à l'excitation d'analyse (étincelle, rayons X, etc...).The reference metal samples are generally prepared by conventional casting and peeling or by powder metallurgy (mdp) and compacting. They are generally in the form of cylinders, the machined cross section of which is subjected to analysis excitation (spark, X-rays, etc.).
La qualité principale de ces échantillons est une homogénéité chimique aussi parfaite que possible sur l'ensemble de cette surface circulaire. De plus, un grand nombre d'échantillons de référence étant prélevés dans un produit donné, tel qu'une barre, issue d'une même billette coulée, il importe que l'homogénéité chimique soit aussi assurée entre les différentes positions, en particulier entre la tête et le pied de la barre initiale.The main quality of these samples is chemical homogeneity as perfect as possible over the whole of this circular surface. In addition, a large number of reference samples being taken from a given product, such as a bar, from the same cast billet, it is important that chemical homogeneity is also ensured between the different positions, in particular between the head and the foot of the initial bar.
Ces difficultés ont jusqu'ici été résolues en partie par l'utilisation effective de la seule partie centrale du produit écroûté obtenu à partir d'une billette coulée ou par la métallurgie des poudres; cependant, dans le premier cas, une élimination par usinage d'une partie externe importante du produit coulé conduit à une mise au mille importante et à un prix élevé; dans le deuxième cas, la mise en oeuvre est délicate, compliquée et coûteuse (voir Analytical Chemistry, vol.49, n° 4, avril 1977, p.679). De plus, dans ce cas, l'amorçage de l'étincelle est difficile du fait de la teneur en oxydes plus élevée (typiquement entre 2000 et plus de 3000 »g/g d'oxygène pour la mdp contre moins de 200 »g/g par pulvérisation-dépôt et typiquement, moins de 100 »g/g).These difficulties have hitherto been resolved in part by the effective use of the only central part of the peeled product obtained from a cast billet or by powder metallurgy; however, in the first case, elimination by machining of a large external part of the cast product leads to a significant mileage and a high price; in the second case, the implementation is delicate, complicated and costly (see Analytical Chemistry, vol.49, n ° 4, April 1977, p.679). In addition, in this case, the ignition of the spark is difficult because of the higher oxide content (typically between 2000 and more than 3000 "g / g of oxygen for the mdp against less than 200" g / g by spray-deposition and typically less than 100 ”g / g).
La méthode selon l'invention consiste donc à élaborer une préforme sensiblement cylindrique par pulvérisation-dépôt, puis à consolider cette ébauche sous forme d'une barre de diamètre approprié, et enfin de découper les échantillons de référence. Par pulvérisation-dépôt, on entend un procédé dans lequel le métal est fondu, atomisé par un jet de gaz neutre à haute pression sous forme de fines gouttelettes liquides qui sont ensuite dirigées et agglomérées sur un substrat de manière à former un dépôt massif et cohérent contenant une faible porosité fermée. Cette technique est également désignée par procédé "Osprey". Dans le cas de l'invention, le dépôt se présente essentiellement sous forme de billettes. La pulvérisation-dépôt a lieu sous gaz neutre ou inerte. Le taux de corroyage lors de la consolidation doit être suffisant pour permettre d'éliminer la porosité fermée induite par le procédé. La consolidation peut être obtenue par tout moyen connu tel que filage, forgeage, laminage, martelage, etc...The method according to the invention therefore consists in developing a substantially cylindrical preform by spray-deposition, then in consolidating this blank in the form of a bar of appropriate diameter, and finally in cutting the reference samples. By spray-deposition is meant a process in which the metal is melted, atomized by a jet of neutral gas at high pressure in the form of fine liquid droplets which are then directed and agglomerated on a substrate so as to form a massive and coherent deposit containing a low closed porosity. This technique is also designated by the "Osprey" process. In the case of the invention, the deposit is essentially in the form of billets. The spray-deposition takes place under neutral or inert gas. The rate of wrinkling during consolidation must be sufficient to allow the closed porosity induced by the process to be eliminated. Consolidation can be obtained by any known means such as spinning, forging, rolling, hammering, etc.
Cette méthode possède les avantages suivants par rapport aux méthodes de l'art antérieur :
- elle permet d'obtenir des préformes de grande dimension (par exemple ⌀ 200 x 500 mm) de grande homogénéité chimique en raison de l'absence de ségrégation majeure;
- la composition des alliages peut être facilement ajustée, en particulier les hautes teneurs en éléments d'alliages, en l'absence de la ségrégation majeure observée lors de la coulée classique;
- la pulvérisation-dépôt sous gaz neutre permet d'obtenir des alliages pratiquement exempts d'inclusions d'oxydes (ce qui est très difficile à éviter en mdp) même avec des éléments fortement oxydables tels que Ti Li, Na, etc...
- Comme déjà indiqué, elle permet d'obtenir moins de 200 »g/g et typiquement moins de 100 »g/g d'oxygène.
- it makes it possible to obtain large preforms (for example ⌀ 200 x 500 mm) of high chemical homogeneity due to the absence of major segregation;
- the composition of the alloys can be easily adjusted, in particular the high contents of alloying elements, in the absence of the major segregation observed during conventional casting;
- spraying-deposition under neutral gas makes it possible to obtain alloys practically free of oxide inclusions (which is very difficult to avoid in mdp) even with highly oxidizable elements such as Ti Li, Na, etc.
- As already indicated, it makes it possible to obtain less than 200 »g / g and typically less than 100» g / g of oxygen.
L'invention sera mieux comprise à l'aide des exemples suivants relatifs à des alliages à base d'Al dont les compositions chimiques (en poids %) sont les suivantes :
