Definitions
- the invention relates to a copper-based alloy with zinc as the next most common alloy component.
- Alloys of this type generally referred to as brass, are used for the production of very different technical devices and components.
- different alloying components are added to the brass alloys in order to obtain very specific properties that correspond to the respective intended use.
- the element lead is usually added to them in amounts of approximately 1 to 3% by weight.
- the lead means that the chips produced during machining are short-lived. This property is indispensable especially when machining workpieces on automatic machines.
- these alloys have a comparatively wide solidification range of around 150 ° C. In connection with the relatively high cooling rates during permanent mold casting, this leads to increased hot brittleness of the cast parts. Therefore, the alloys mentioned can practically only be used for sand casting processes.
- Another disadvantage of the known alloy is that a relatively high proportion of bismuth is necessary to enable machining.
- the object of the invention to provide a low-lead or lead-free alloy which is suitable for the production of components for drinking water installations and which does not have the disadvantages mentioned above.
- the alloy should also have the casting and mechanical properties necessary for the intended use.
- Water fittings should, for example, have a polishable surface and sufficient pressure tightness for the pressure ranges prevailing in drinking water supply systems, properties that depend directly on the fine-grained structure of the castings.
- the components produced with the alloy according to the invention can be classified as practically toxicologically safe.
- Bismuth is not known to have a cumulative toxic effect corresponding to lead.
- the toxicity of bismuth to lead is considerably lower, so that at the concentrations that occur when bismuth is transferred into drinking water, a comparatively very low health risk potential is likely to arise.
- bismuth has about 10 times less toxicity on these organisms than lead.
- Another indication of the relative non-toxicity of bismuth can be seen in the fact that bismuth is classified as not harmful to health in the DE Hazardous Substances Ordinance and is also not mentioned in standard regulations such as the TVO, in contrast to lead.
- the alloy according to the invention can depend on the degree of purity of the alloy used Alloy components may lead to minor contamination with lead. However, these usually only reach values of at most about 0.3% by weight and are therefore rather negligible compared to the deliberately added lead additives in brass alloys containing lead.
- compositions of an alloy according to the invention are specified in subclaims 2 and 3. It should be emphasized here in particular that the addition of boron in an amount of 5 to 15 ppm can reduce the average grain size of the structure.
- alloys according to claims 4 and 5 are resistant to dezincification. Due to this property, drinking water fittings manufactured with it can also be used in areas with high water aggressiveness and generally have a longer service life.
- the structure of the specimens examined was essentially globulitic and had an average grain size of approximately 30 ⁇ m.
- the length of the spiral was determined (according to Schneider) at a temperature of 1000 ° C to 1005 ° C. The determined values were between 522 mm and 531 mm and thus in the range of the values known from Gk Ms 60 Fk (500 mm - 600 mm).
- a dezincification sample was produced in accordance with ISO standard 6509-1981 (E).
- the dezincification test itself was carried out according to the Australian standard No. 2345-1980.
- the dezincification depths found were consistently greater than 100 ⁇ m, but were in the ranges known from Gk Ms 60 Fk.
- This exemplary embodiment relates to an alloy with the following composition (% by weight): Cu: 63.00%, Bi: 0.8%, Mn: 0.45%, Si: 0.5%, Al: 0.5%, Sb: 0.1%, B: 10 ppm, Pb: ⁇ 0.10%, Sn: ⁇ 0.10%, Fe: ⁇ 0.10%, Ni: ⁇ 0.10%, Zn: balance
- cross sections were cold-cut out of water fittings manufactured with the alloy according to the invention (sample P III in Table 2) and subjected to a test according to ISO 6509 (Corrosion of metals and alloys / Determination of decincification resistance of brass -, edition 1981). The casting temperature was 1000 ° C.
- sample dezincification depth of 60 ⁇ m was found in sample III, while the samples consisting of conventional Gk Ms 60 Fk had significantly higher dezincification depths.
- sample PIII is dezincification-resistant.
- the permissible depth of dezincification according to BS for castings is 100 ⁇ m, according to the Swedish building standard R 8 200 ⁇ m.
- castings were cast under normal manufacturing conditions. These castings were first subjected to machine cylindrical grinding, finish and fine grinding by hand and finally to a polishing which was carried out both mechanically and by hand.
- the parts were introduced into normal production and weighed raw and after each of the processes mentioned.
- the material removal by machine grinding was significantly less.
- the surface quality of the parts produced with the alloy according to the invention was better than that of conventional castings, which resulted from a lower number of complaints after the first grinding or polishing process.
- the above-mentioned PIV and PV samples were also subjected to fracture tests in order to examine the microstructure for voids and "sponge areas". All samples were free from such structural defects.
- the microstructure of the alloy corresponding to PIV and PV was determined using conventional metallographic methods.
- the structure had an essentially globulitic grain structure with an average grain size of approximately 35 ⁇ m.
- the maximum grain size was below 100 ⁇ m.
