Definitions
- the invention relates to an electrode for electrical discharges, in particular spark plug electrodes, with an electrode base made of metal and a method for their production.
- Common spark plugs generally have a center electrode and a ground electrode, the tips of the two electrodes being arranged with respect to one another in such a way that a spark gap is left free. Due to the constant generation of sparks between the two electrodes, the tips are subject to considerable wear. This problem places high demands on the temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and thermal expansion characteristics of the electrode tip. Spark erosion and oxidation phenomena also lead to considerable stress.
- the present invention takes advantage of the known IP materials (intermetallic phases) made of nickel aluminides.
- Intermetallic phases are compounds of metals with ordered atomic distributions. These intermetallic phases are high even Temperatures are stronger than metal alloys, more resistant to oxidation than non-precious metal alloys and more malleable than ceramics. This means that their properties lie between metal and ceramic.
- Intermetallic phases are, for example, titanium aluminides and nickel aluminides.
- the electrode can consist entirely of the IP material or can have a tip made of IP material on an electrode body made of otherwise customary electrode material.
- an IP material i.e. an intermetallic phase itself
- an IP material i.e. an intermetallic phase itself
- nickel aluminides such as NiAl3, Ni2Al3 or the like.
- the connection to the electrode base body is then carried out by known methods, such as welding or high-temperature soldering.
- Another advantageous possibility is, however, to apply a material to the electrode base body to form an intermetallic phase and then to produce a high-melting, oxidation-resistant intermetallic phase there.
- Aluminum or an aluminum alloy, for example, are suitable as materials.
- the material is preferably joined by alloying.
- This alloying takes place, for example, using the known laser technology.
- aluminum or aluminum alloys or aluminum-containing intermetallic phases such as NiAl3, Ni2Al3 or the like.
- Ni4b5, Inconel or similar alloys or also applied to two-substance electrodes with appropriate cladding materials the specified goal in any case is the production of NiAl, if necessary.
- additional alloying elements such as chromium, manganese, silicon, molybdenum or the like ..
- Alloy formation or alloying can also take place using the aluminothermic effect, the heat of reaction being used in the oxidation of aluminum to form the alloy. In this case, a cermet material with connections of corundum particles is created.
- the intermetallic phase should also contain alloy additives. It is possible, for example, to reduce the electron work function by adding alkaline earth metals.
- alloy additives can be added to the material before alloying, which make this material ductile or deformable. This can also be done by appropriate pretreatment. This includes, for example, the addition of boron, with boron preferably evaporating during the alloying. If, for example, chrome is added, the corrosion resistance of the electrode can be improved.
- the material is placed as a plate, cap or the like on the electrode base body and then, for example, alloyed on. This manufacturing process is simple and inexpensive.
- the invention is also intended to include, for example, the use of an intermetallic phase in the manufacture of electrodes, in particular spark plug electrodes.
