Abstract

A hollow cylindrical preform made of steel contg. at least 0.2 wt % C and at least 3 wt % carbide forming elements such as Cr, Mo and B is heated in an inert atmosphere to its austenising temp and then cooled to a metastable austenite range which is below the recrystallisation temp. and above the martensite forming temp. It is then pressure rolled to produce the required profile and rapidly cooled to below the martensite forming temp. After martensitic transformation it is tempered at 400-600 deg C to precipitate the special carbides before being cooled to room temp. Pref., the forming tool, ie the roller is preheated prior to rolling. The temp. of the preform is constantly measured during rolling and the difference between the nominal and optimal temps is used to regulate the rolling speed during forming.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Herstellen eines Hohlkörpers aus Stahl mit einer Innen- und/oder Außenprofilierung.The invention relates to a method for producing a hollow body made of steel with an inner and / or outer profile.

Die DE 37 11 927 C1 beschreibt ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von an ihrem Außenumfang in vorwiegend axialer Richtung profilierten, insbesondere gezahnten metallischen Hohlkörpern aus rotationssymmetrisch vorgeformten Hohlkörpern, wobei die Profilierung nach Zustellen wenigstens einer Profilrolle mittels dieser durch Drücken erzeugt wird und wobei schrittweise in radialer Richtung umgeformt wird.DE 37 11 927 C1 describes a process for the production of hollow hollow bodies which are profiled on their outer circumference in a predominantly axial direction, in particular toothed, from rotationally symmetrically preformed hollow bodies, the profiling being generated by pressing at least one profile roll by means of this and being stepped in the radial direction is reshaped.

Weiterhin ist aus der DD 232 210 A1 ein Verfahren zur Profilerzeugung durch Abstreckdrücken bekannt, insbesondere zur Herstellung rotationssymmetrischer Hohlkörper mit und ohne Boden sowie Innen- bzw. Außenlängsprofilen, wobei die Umformung in mehreren Umformstufen erfolgt und wobei die mindestens zwei aufeinanderfolgenden Umformstufen jeweils nach einem Wechsel der Drehrichtung mindestens eines der treibenden Werkzeugelemente, z.B. Drückrolle oder Drückdorn, durchgeführt werden.DD 232 210 A1 also discloses a method for generating profiles by ironing presses, in particular for producing rotationally symmetrical hollow bodies with and without a bottom, as well as inner and outer longitudinal profiles, the forming being carried out in several forming stages and the at least two successive forming stages each after a change the direction of rotation of at least one of the driving tool elements, for example Pressure roller or mandrel.

Schließlich beschreibt die DE-OS 22 25 390 eine Vorrichtung und ein Verfahren zur Herstellung definierter Wanddickenänderungen eines rotationssymmetrischen Hohlkörpers. Die Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens ist eine Fließdrückmaschine mit einem rotierenden, das Werkstück aufnehmenden Dorn und mit einem hierzu radial zustellbaren Drückwerkzeug, wobei zwischen Dorn und Drückwerkzeug eine gegenüber der Dorndrehung abgestimmte Relativbewegung in Richtung der Dornachse stattfindet und wobei der Drückdorn die Negativformen der auf der inneren Oberfläche des Werkstückes einzuarbeitenden Wanddickenänderungen in Form von örtlich ausgebildeten Verstärkungen oder Nuten aufweist.Finally, DE-OS 22 25 390 describes an apparatus and a method for producing defined changes in wall thickness a rotationally symmetrical hollow body. The device for carrying out the method is a flow spinning machine with a rotating mandrel that receives the workpiece and with a spinning tool that can be adjusted radially, with a relative movement between the mandrel and spinning tool taking place in the direction of the mandrel axis and the mandrel being the negative forms of the on the inner surface of the workpiece to be incorporated wall thickness changes in the form of locally formed reinforcements or grooves.

Allen vorgenannten bekannten Drückverfahren ist der Nachteil gemeinsam, daß nur Produkte von normaler Festigkeit unmittelbar hergestellt werden können. Bei besonderen Härte- und Festigkeitsanforderungen an die Produkte ist ein nachfolgendes Härten erforderlich, was einen zusätzlichen Herstellungsaufwand mit sich bringt und die Herstellungskosten erhöht. Außerdem wird die Maß- und Formgenauigkeit des Produktes durch das Härten ungünstig beeinflußt, was bei hohen Maß- und Formgenauigkeitsanforderungen eine Nachbearbeitung erfordert.All the known pressing methods mentioned above have the disadvantage that only products of normal strength can be produced directly. If the products have special hardness and strength requirements, subsequent hardening is required, which entails additional manufacturing outlay and increases the manufacturing costs. In addition, the dimensional and shape accuracy of the product is adversely affected by the hardening, which requires post-processing in the case of high dimensional and shape accuracy requirements.

Außerdem sind spanende Verfahren zum Herstellen von Hohlkörpern der im Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1 genannten Art allgemein bekannt. Insbesondere sind hier Fräsen, z.B. Abrollfräsen, und Schleifen zu nennen. Allen diesen Verfahren haftet der Nachteil an, daß sie einen hohen Arbeits- und Zeitaufwand bei ihrer Ausführung erfordern, was zu hohen Herstellungskosten der damit hergestellten Produkte führt. Nachteilig ist weiterhin, daß die Festigkeit und Härte der so hergestellten Produkte begrenzt ist. Werden besondere Festigkeitsanforderungen, z.B. bei Zahnkränzen oder Zahnrädern, gestellt, dann ist ein zusätzliches Härten des Produktes nötig, was einen weiteren Arbeitsschritt erfordert und zusätzliche Herstellungskosten verursacht. Zudem wird durch das Härten die Maß- und Formgenauigkeit negativ beeinflußt, was oft eine Nachbearbeitung, z.B. ein Nachschleifen, erfordert, um die gewünschte Maßgenauigkeit zu erhalten.In addition, cutting methods for producing hollow bodies of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 1 are generally known. Milling, for example roll-off milling, and grinding are particularly worth mentioning here. All these methods have the disadvantage that they require a lot of work and time to carry them out, which leads to high manufacturing costs of the products produced with them. Another disadvantage is that the strength and hardness of the products thus produced is limited. If special strength requirements are placed, for example on gear rings or gear wheels, then additional hardening of the product is necessary, which requires a further work step and causes additional manufacturing costs. In addition, the hardening Dimensional and shape accuracy negatively affects what often requires reworking, such as regrinding, in order to obtain the desired dimensional accuracy.

Es stellt sich daher die Aufgabe, ein Verfahren der eingangs genannten Art anzugeben, das schnell und kostengünstig arbeitet und das gleichzeitig Produkte mit großer Maß- und Formgenauigkeit sowie hoher Härte und Festigkeit liefert.It is therefore the task of specifying a method of the type mentioned at the outset which works quickly and inexpensively and which at the same time delivers products with great dimensional and shape accuracy as well as high hardness and strength.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe gelingt erfindungsgemäß durch ein Verfahren der im Patentanspruch 1 genannten Art, nämlich dadurch, daß die Verfahrenstechniken des Drückwalzens und des Austenitformhärtens in Kombination angewandt werden.This object is achieved according to the invention by a method of the type mentioned in claim 1, namely in that the process techniques of pressure rolling and austenite hardening are used in combination.

Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren bietet den Vorteil einer exakten Ausbildung der Profilierung bei sehr kurzen Bearbeitungszeiten. Die dabei erzielbaren Oberflächenhärten sind gleich oder sogar höher als die, die durch Härten erreichbar sind. Ist die Profilierung eine Verzahnung, dann wird zudem vorteilhaft eine höhere Festigkeit der Zahnkerne erzielt, als sie bei einem Einsatzstahl möglich ist. Dabei bleibt eine ausreichende Zähigkeit in jedem Fall erhalten. Ein nachgeschalteter Härteprozeß mit dem Risiko von Verminderungen der Maß- und Formgenauigkeit erübrigt sich damit, selbst bei höchsten Anforderungen an die Festigkeit des Produktes. Die hohe Qualität des Produktes wird schon mit relativ preiswerten Stählen als Material für den im Verfahren einzusetzenden Rohling erreicht, so daß auch von der Materialseite Kosteneinsparungen möglich sind. Weitere Kosteneinsparungen sind häufig möglich durch kleinere Dimensionierung der Produkte bei unverminderter Belastbarkeit und Haltbarkeit. Die hierbei gleichzeitig erzielbaren Gewichtseinsparungen sind insbesondere für die Kraftfahrzeug- und Luftfahrttechnik von Bedeutung.The method according to the invention offers the advantage of an exact formation of the profiling with very short processing times. The surface hardnesses that can be achieved are the same or even higher than those that can be achieved by hardening. If the profiling is toothing, then a higher strength of the tooth cores is advantageously achieved than is possible with case-hardening steel. Sufficient toughness is retained in any case. A subsequent hardening process with the risk of diminishing dimensional and shape accuracy is not necessary, even with the highest demands on the strength of the product. The high quality of the product is achieved with relatively inexpensive steels as the material for the blank to be used in the process, so that cost savings are also possible from the material side. Further cost savings are often possible due to the smaller dimensions of the products with undiminished resilience and durability. The weight savings that can be achieved at the same time are particularly important for automotive and aeronautical engineering.

In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens wird vorgeschlagen, daß der Rohling aus einem austenitformhärtbaren Stahl mit einem ausreichenden Gehalt an Kohlenstoff und Sonderkarbidbildnern besteht und in inerter Atmosphäre auf Austenitisierungstemperatur erwärmt und anschließend in den Bereich des metastabilen Austenits unterhalb der Rekristallisations- und oberhalb der Martensitbildungstemperatur abgekühlt wird, daß in diesem Temperaturbereich des metastabilen Austenits das Drückwalzen der Profilierung erfolgt, daß im Anschluß an das Drückwalzen der profilierte Hohlkörper schnell auf eine Temperatur unterhalb der Martensitbildungstemperatur abgekühlt wird und daß nach beendeter Martensitumwandlung der profilierte Hohlkörper zur Ausscheidung von Sonderkarbiden bei Temperaturen von 450 bis 600°C angelassen und nach beendeter Anlaßbehandlung auf Raumtemperatur abgekühlt wird. Der Temperaturbereich des metastabilen Austenits liegt bei geeigneten Stählen beispielsweise bei etwa 500°C. Bei dieser Temperatur besitzt der Stahl ein besseres Fließverhalten als im kalten Zustand, so daß mit geringerer Kraft eine verbesserte Profilausbildung, insbesondere eine exaktere Zahnkopfausbildung an dem Werkstück durch vereinfachte und verbesserte vollständige Ausfüllung der Negativformen an dem Werkzeug ermöglicht werden. Das Abkühlen auf Raumtemperatur kann an der Luft erfolgen, gegebenenfalls an bewegter Luft, die die zu kühlenden verzahnten Hohlkörper gleichmäßig bestreicht.In a preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention, it is proposed that the blank consist of an austenite-hardenable steel with a sufficient content of carbon and special carbide formers and be heated in an inert atmosphere to the austenitization temperature and then cooled in the range of the metastable austenite below the recrystallization and above the martensite formation temperature is that in this temperature range of metastable austenite the pressure rolling of the profiling takes place, that after the pressure rolling the profiled hollow body is rapidly cooled to a temperature below the martensite formation temperature and that after the martensite transformation has ended the profiled hollow body for the precipitation of special carbides at temperatures of 450 to Annealed 600 ° C and cooled to room temperature after completion of the tempering treatment. The temperature range of metastable austenite in suitable steels is, for example, around 500 ° C. At this temperature, the steel has a better flow behavior than in the cold state, so that with less force an improved profile formation, in particular a more precise tooth tip formation on the workpiece is made possible by simplified and improved complete filling of the negative molds on the tool. The cooling to room temperature can take place in air, if necessary in moving air, which evenly brushes the hollow hollow teeth to be cooled.

Ein in dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren vorteilhaft einsetzbarer Rohling besteht beispielsweise aus einem Stahl, der mindestens 0,2 - 0,6 Gew.-% Kohlenstoff und mindestens 3 Gew.-% der Elemente Chrom, Molybdän und Vanadium einzeln oder zu mehreren enthält. Ein Vertreter dieser Gruppe ist z.B. der Werkstoff 1.2344 = X 51 CrMo V 5 1 mit Gehalten von 0,5 % Kohlenstoff, 5 % Chrom, 1 % Molybdän und 0,5 % Vanadium.A blank which can advantageously be used in the process according to the invention consists, for example, of a steel which contains at least 0.2-0.6% by weight of carbon and at least 3% by weight of the elements chromium, molybdenum and vanadium individually or in groups. A representative of this group is, for example, the material 1.2344 = X 51 CrMo V 5 1 with contents of 0.5% carbon, 5% chromium, 1% molybdenum and 0.5% vanadium.

Weiter wird vorgeschlagen, daß die Werkzeuge für die Anformung der Profilierung vor dem Umformvorgang vorgewärmt werden. Hierdurch wird eine unerwünschte Abkühlung des zu profilierenden Hohlkörpers zu Beginn des Umformvorganges beim Drückwalzen vermieden.It is also proposed that the tools for the shaping of the profile be preheated before the forming process. This prevents undesired cooling of the hollow body to be profiled at the start of the forming process during the press rolling.

Schießlich besteht eine besonders vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung des Verfahrens darin, daß die Temperatur des Hohlkörpers während des Drückwalzens ständig gemessen, mit einer vorgegebenen Solltemperatur verglichen und das Ergebnis des Vergleiches zur Regelung der Drückwalzgeschwindigkeit hinzugezogen wird. Auf diese Art und Weise kann die Temperatur des Hohlkörpers während des Drückwalzens ohne weitere Kühl- oder Heizeinrichtungen im gewünschten Temperaturbereich, insbesondere im Temperaturbereich des metastabilen Austenits, gehalten werden, wobei eine Erhöhung der Drückwalzgeschwindigkeit eine erhöhte Energiezufuhr und damit eine Temperaturerhöhung und eine Verringerung der Drückwalzgeschwindigkeit eine verminderte Energiezufuhr und damit Temperaturabsenkung des Hohlkörpers bewirkt. Während des Umformvorganges gleichen sich also die durch das Drückwalzen in den Hohlkörper eingebrachte Umformenergie und die Energieabstrahlung und -ableitung aus dem Hohlkörper unter Aufrechterhaltung des gewünschten Temperaturniveaus zuverlässig aus.Finally, a particularly advantageous embodiment of the method is that the temperature of the hollow body is measured continuously during the pressure rolling, compared with a predetermined target temperature and the result of the comparison is used to regulate the pressure rolling speed. In this way, the temperature of the hollow body can be kept in the desired temperature range, in particular in the temperature range of the metastable austenite, without further cooling or heating devices, with an increase in the pressure rolling speed an increased energy supply and thus an increase in temperature and a reduction in the pressure rolling speed a reduced energy supply and thus lowering the temperature of the hollow body. During the forming process, therefore, the forming energy introduced into the hollow body by the pressure rolling and the energy radiation and dissipation from the hollow body are reliably balanced while maintaining the desired temperature level.

Drückmaschinen zur Durchführung des eigentlichen Drückwalzvorganges sind bekannt und brauchen daher nicht näher beschrieben zu werden. Sie können mit einer oder mehreren Umformrollen ausgerüstet werden.Spinning machines for carrying out the actual spinning rolling process are known and therefore do not need to be described in more detail. They can be equipped with one or more forming rolls.

Ein zur Erhitzung der Rohlinge aus einem austenitformhärtbarem Stahl auf Austenitisierungstemperatur verwendbarer Ofen ist vorteilhaft ein Schachtofen mit Schutzgas-Atmosphäre, z.B. Stickstoff, bei welchem für jeden entnommenen erhitzten Rohling ein noch nicht erhitzter Rohling eingegeben wird.A furnace which can be used to heat the blanks from an austenite-hardenable steel to the austenitizing temperature is advantageously a shaft furnace with a protective gas atmosphere, for example nitrogen, in which a blank which has not yet been heated for each heated blank removed Blank is entered.

Die Haltezeit auf Austenitisierungstemperatur und die Austenisierungstemperatur selbst ist vom verwendeten Stahltyp abhängig und beträgt ca. 20 bis 60 Minuten bei 900 bis 1050 °C.The holding time at the austenitizing temperature and the austenizing temperature itself depends on the type of steel used and is approx. 20 to 60 minutes at 900 to 1050 ° C.

Die Abkühlung von Austenitisierungstemperatur zur Umformtemperatur des metastabilen Austenits erfolgt bevorzugt unter inerter Atmosphäre.The cooling from the austenitizing temperature to the forming temperature of the metastable austenite is preferably carried out under an inert atmosphere.

Nach der Umformung erfolgt die Abkühlung an ruhender oder bewegter Luft; dabei erfolgt die Umwandlung in das martensitische Gefüge. Die sich daran anschließende Anlaßbehandlung bei Temperaturen zwischen 400 bis 600 °C erfolgt bevorzugt in einem Luftumwälzofen mit Haltezeiten zwischen einer und sechs Stunden; die sich daran anschließende Abkühlung von Anlaßtemperatur auf Raumtemperatur wird an ruhender Luft durchgeführt.After the forming, the cooling takes place in still or moving air; the transformation into the martensitic structure takes place. The subsequent tempering treatment at temperatures between 400 to 600 ° C is preferably carried out in an air circulation oven with holding times between one and six hours; the subsequent cooling from tempering temperature to room temperature is carried out in still air.

Als Beispiel für die auf die beschriebene Weise herzustellenden Teile seien folgende Abmessungen genannt:The following dimensions are mentioned as an example of the parts to be produced in the manner described:

Innenverzahnung: Innendurchmesser 10 bis 500 mm, Länge falls erforderlich bis 1500 mm, Zahnhöhe 1 bis 20 mm, Zahnbreite 1 bis 50 mm.Internal teeth: inner diameter 10 to 500 mm, length if necessary up to 1500 mm, tooth height 1 to 20 mm, tooth width 1 to 50 mm.

Es ist möglich, sowohl gerad- als auch schrägverzahnte Teile mit oder ohne Boden herzustellen.It is possible to produce both straight and helical parts with or without a bottom.
