Description

La présente invention est relative à un moule de fonderie pour alliages d'aluminium, ainsi qu'à un procédé pour sa réalisation.The present invention relates to a mold for foundry for aluminum alloys, as well as a process for its realization.

Le moulage en coquille (c'est à dire au moyen d'un moule métallique) constitue un procédé éprouvé et au point sur le plan technologique, notamment pour le moulage d'alliages d'aluminium-silicium.Shell molding (i.e. by means of a metal mold) is a proven and technologically, especially for the casting of aluminum-silicon alloys.

Classiquement, pour protéger les parois du moule des interactions entre, d'une part, l'alliage liquide et, d'autre part, l'acier ou la fonte qui constituent le moule, on revêt lesdites parois d'une couche de matériau réfractaire.Conventionally, to protect the walls of the mold interactions between, on the one hand, the liquid alloy and, on the other hand, the steel or cast iron which constitute the mold, coating said walls with a layer of material refractory.

Ce revêtement est habituellement réalisé par « poteyage », c'est-à-dire par dépôt (au pinceau ou en utilisant un pistolet de projection) d'une suspension en solution, le moule ainsi revêtu étant ensuite étuvé aux alentours de 300°C pour évacuer les solvants.This coating is usually carried out by "Poteyage", that is to say by deposition (with a brush or using a spray gun) of a suspension in solution, the mold thus coated then being steamed with around 300 ° C to evacuate the solvents.

Cette couche réfractaire a plusieurs fonctions.This refractory layer has several functions.

Elle permet d'éviter l'étamage, c'est-à-dire le collage de l'alliage liquide sur les parois du moule.It avoids tinning, i.e. bonding of the liquid alloy on the walls of the mold.

Elle assure la lubrification du moule et permet de réduire les défauts de surface de celui-ci (rugosité trop importante, entailles, criques, joints d'assemblage, etc.).It provides lubrication of the mold and allows reduce its surface defects (roughness too large, nicks, cracks, joints assembly, etc.).

En outre, de par sa « friabilité », elle facilite le démoulage : quelques grains à la surface du moule sont arrachés à chaque extraction de pièce coulée, sans pour autant altérer notablement cette surface.In addition, because of its "friability", it facilitates demoulding: a few grains on the surface of the mold are torn off each time a casting is removed, without however significantly alter this surface.

Egalement, ce revêtement réfractaire protège la coquille et évite ainsi sa destruction prématurée.Also, this refractory lining protects the shell and thus prevents its premature destruction.

En particulier, ce revêtement constitue une interface entre le moule et l'alliage liquide, qui minimise les interactions.In particular, this coating constitutes a interface between the mold and the liquid alloy, which minimizes interactions.

Il constitue également une barrière thermique qui abaisse la température maximale atteinte à la surface de la coquille et prolonge ainsi la durée de vie du moule.It also constitutes a thermal barrier which lowers the maximum temperature reached on the surface of the shell and thus prolongs the life of the mold.

En outre, un tel revêtement assure certains échanges thermiques et participe à la maítrise de la solidification dirigée.In addition, such a coating ensures certain thermal exchanges and participates in the control of the directed solidification.

Cependant, la cohésion et la rugosité des revêtements réalisés par poteyage sont telles que ces revêtements se détruisent progressivement lors des cycles de fabrication des pièces de fonderie.However, the cohesion and roughness of coatings made by poteyage are such that these coatings are gradually destroyed during cycles for manufacturing foundry parts.

La technique de poteyage est de ce fait coûteuse. Elle nécessite en particulier l'immobilisation et le démontage réguliers des moules. Le poteyage a donc une incidence non négligeable sur le prix de revient des pièces.The poteyage technique is therefore expensive. In particular, it requires immobilization and regular disassembly of the molds. So poteyage has a significant impact on the cost price of rooms.

Un but de l'invention est donc de proposer un moule de fonderie pour alliages d'aluminium qui présente un revêtement réfractaire permanent, c'est-à-dire dont la durée de vie est augmentée de façon substantielle par rapport à celle des revêtements obtenus par poteyage.An object of the invention is therefore to propose a foundry mold for aluminum alloys which has a refractory coating permanent, i.e. with a longer service life substantially compared to that of coatings obtained by poteyage.

Il a déjà été proposé de remplacer les revêtements classiquement réalisés par poteyage par des couches de protection à base de Y2O3. On pourra avantageusement se référer à cet égard à la demande de brevet EP 252 862.It has already been proposed to replace the coatings conventionally produced by coating with protective layers based on Y 2 O 3 . Advantageously, reference may be made in this respect to patent application EP 252 862.

Ces couches de protection sont déposées directement sur l'acier du moule et s'avèrent d'une tenue dans le temps peu satisfaisante. Elles se détériorent rapidement du fait de la différence importante entre leur coefficient de dilatation thermique et celui du substrat sur lequel elles sont déposées.These protective layers are deposited directly on the mold steel and turn out to be unsatisfactory over time. They deteriorate quickly because of the significant difference between their coefficient of thermal expansion and that of the substrate on which they are deposited.

Le document EP A 0 212 157 décrit un moule de fonderie pour la réalisation de grilles de plomb, comportant un substrat métallique revêtu d'une couche protectrice, ladite couche présentant un revêtement réfractaire céramique, ainsi qu'une sous-couche d'accrochage à base d'un alliage de chrome, de cobalt ou de nickel, interposée entre le revêtement réfractaire céramique et le substrat métallique.The document EP A 0 212 157 describes a foundry mold for the production of grids of lead, comprising a metal substrate coated with a protective layer, said layer having a ceramic refractory lining, as well as a bonding underlayment to base of a chromium, cobalt or nickel alloy, interposed between the coating ceramic refractory and metal substrate.

Lors d'un cycle de moulage un moule de fonderie pour alliages d'aluminium est soumis à de forts écarts thermiques. Avant l'opération de coulée, il est chauffé par des brûleurs de façon à être maintenu à une température de l'ordre de 350°C. Puis, l'alliage y est coulé à une température qui est de l'ordre de 680°C dans le cas des alliages d'aluminium. Les températures des parois du moule varient donc entre 350°C et 680°C à chaque fois qu'une pièce est coulée, les cadences de coulée pouvant atteindre le rythme d'une coulée toutes les cinq minutes. Ces écarts thermiques entre le substrat et son revêtement induisent des différences de dilatation qui, par leur répétition, détruisent ledit revêtement.During a molding cycle a mold of Foundry for aluminum alloys is subject to strong thermal differences. Before the casting operation it is heated by burners of so as to be kept at a temperature of the order of 350 ° C. Then, the alloy is poured into it at a temperature which is around 680 ° C in the case of alloys aluminum. Mold wall temperatures therefore vary between 350 ° C and 680 ° C each time a part is cast, the rates of casting being able to hit the rhythm of one pour every five minutes. These thermal differences between the substrate and its coating induce differences in expansion which, by their repetition, destroy said coating.

Pour résoudre ce problème technique, l'invention propose un moule de fonderie pour alliages d'aluminium comportant un substrat métallique revêtu d'une couche protectrice, ladite couche présentant un revêtement en un matériau réfractaire inerte vis-à-vis du métal coulé, ainsi qu'une sous-couche d'accrochage interposée entre le revêtement et le substrat, caractérisé en ce que le revêtement est en un matériau choisi dans le groupe comprenant la mullite, l'oxyde d'yttrium et les mélanges MgO-Al2O3, tels que la spinelle, et en ce que la couche d'accrochage est en un alliage de nickel, de chrome, d'aluminium et d'yttrium.To solve this technical problem, the invention provides a foundry mold for aluminum alloys comprising a metal substrate coated with a protective layer, said layer having a coating of a refractory material inert with respect to the cast metal, as well a bonding sub-layer interposed between the coating and the substrate, characterized in that the coating is made of a material chosen from the group comprising mullite, yttrium oxide and MgO-Al 2 O 3 mixtures , such as spinel, and in that the bonding layer is made of an alloy of nickel, chromium, aluminum and yttrium.

L'invention propose également un procédé pour sa réalisation.The invention also provides a method for its production.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention ressortiront encore de la description qui suit. Cette description est purement illustrative et non limitative. Elle doit être lue en regard de la figure unique annexée (figure 1) sur laquelle on a représenté schématiquement, en vue en coupe, un détail avec arraché d'un moule conforme à l'invention.Other features and benefits of the invention will become more apparent from the description which follows. This description is purely illustrative and not limiting. It should be read opposite the figure single annexed (figure 1) on which is represented schematically, in sectional view, a detail with cutaway of a mold according to the invention.

Le moule 1 représenté sur cette figure comporte un substrat 2, ainsi qu'un revêtement 3. Entre le substrat 2 et le revêtement 3 est interposée une couche intermédiaire 4.The mold 1 shown in this figure includes a substrate 2, as well as a coating 3. Between the substrate 2 and the coating 3 is interposed a layer intermediate 4.

Le substrat 2 est par exemple réalisé en acier Z38CDV05, cet acier étant utilisé classiquement pour réaliser les moules de fonderie et présentant une bonne résistance aux chocs thermiques. The substrate 2 is for example made of steel Z38CDV05, this steel being conventionally used for making foundry molds with good resistance to thermal shock.

Le matériau du revêtement 3 réfractaire est choisi pour ses qualités isolantes, réfractaires, et inertes vis-à-vis des alliages coulés. Il résiste ainsi à l'agressivité chimique des alliages coulés et permet d'éviter l'étamage.The material of the refractory lining 3 is chosen for its insulating, refractory and inert qualities vis-à-vis cast alloys. It thus resists chemical aggressiveness of cast alloys and allows avoid tinning.

Le revêtement 3 est réalisé en un matériau choisi dans le groupe comprenant :

  • l'oxyde d'yttrium Y2O3,
  • la mullite, de composition 3Al2O3 - 2SiO2 ,
  • les mélanges MgO - Al2O3, et parmi ceux-ci plus particulièrement la spinelle de composition Mg Al2O4.
The coating 3 is made of a material chosen from the group comprising:
  • yttrium oxide Y 2 O 3 ,
  • mullite, of composition 3Al 2 O 3 - 2SiO 2 ,
  • MgO - Al 2 O 3 mixtures, and among these more particularly the spinel of composition Mg Al 2 O 4 .

La couche 4 intermédiaire constitue, pour le revêtement 3 réfractaire, une sous-couche d'accrochage. Elle est en un matériau qui est choisi de façon que ledit revêtement 3 réfractaire ne se détériore pas lors des cycles de moulage, par différence de dilatation thermique avec le substrat 2.The intermediate layer 4 constitutes, for the refractory lining 3, a bonding sub-layer. It is made of a material which is chosen so that said refractory lining 3 does not deteriorate during molding cycles, by difference in expansion thermal with substrate 2.

Cette sous-couche 4 d'accrochage est en un alliage de Ni Cr Al Y (Nickel Chrome Aluminium Yttrium), par exemple avec les pourcentages pondéraux suivants: 67 % Ni, 22 % Cr, 10 % W Al, 1 % Y et a un coefficient de dilatation thermique voisin de celui du substrat 2 et permettant un bon accrochage du revêtement 3 réfractaire.This bonding underlayer 4 is made of an alloy by Ni Cr Al Y (Nickel Chrome Aluminum Yttrium), by example with the following weight percentages: 67% Ni, 22% Cr, 10% W Al, 1% Y and has a coefficient of thermal expansion close to that of substrate 2 and allowing good attachment of the coating 3 refractory.

Les coefficients thermiques de dilatation de l'acier du substrat 2 et des différents constituants cités ci-dessus pour la sous-couche 4 et le revêtement 3, sont les suivants : (en m/mK) Z38CDV5 entre 12,6 et 13,2.10-6 Mullite 5.10-6 Al2O3 8.10-6 MgO 12 à 16.10-6 Spinelle 8,3.10-6 Y2O3 8.10-6 Ni Cr Al Y 15,2.10-6 (dans la composition ci-dessus) The thermal coefficients of expansion of the steel of the substrate 2 and of the various constituents mentioned above for the sub-layer 4 and the coating 3, are the following: (in m / mK) Z38CDV5 between 12.6 and 13.2.10 -6 Mullite 5.10 -6 Al 2 O 3 8.10 -6 MgO 12 to 16.10 -6 Spinel 8.3.10 -6 Y 2 O 3 8.10 -6 Ni Cr Al Y 15.2.10 -6 (in the above composition)

A titre d'exemple non limitatif, l'épaisseur de la sous-couche 4 en alliage Ni Cr Al Y peut être comprise entre 0,02 et 0,2 mm, celle du revêtement 3 entre 0,01 et 0,11 mm lorsqu'il est en alumine-magnésie et notamment entre 0,01 et 0,03 mm lorsqu'il est en spinelle.By way of nonlimiting example, the thickness of the underlay 4 of Ni Cr Al Y alloy can be included between 0.02 and 0.2 mm, that of the coating 3 between 0.01 and 0.11 mm when in alumina-magnesia and in particular between 0.01 and 0.03 mm when it is spinel.

La cohésion, la rugosité, la dureté de la couche protectrice ainsi réalisée par le revêtement 3 et la sous-couche d'accrochage 4 sont telles que l'on n'observe pas de dégradation de la surface du moule comparée à celle observée sur un moule poteyé de manière traditionnelle. Les meilleurs résultats sont obtenus avec des revêtements 3 de spinelle.Cohesion, roughness, hardness of the layer protective thus produced by the coating 3 and the undercoat 4 are such that we do not observe degradation of the mold surface compared to that observed on a poteyé mold in a traditional way. The best results are obtained with coatings 3 of spinel.

On notera que la bonne résistance du revêtement 3 vis-à-vis des alliages d'aluminium permet d'envisager d'utiliser des aciers de moins bonne qualité que l'acier Z38CDV05 pour réaliser le substrat 2 du moule 1.Note that the good resistance of the coating 3 vis-à-vis aluminum alloys allows to consider use lower quality steels than steel Z38CDV05 to make the substrate 2 of the mold 1.

Le procédé selon l'invention pour la réalisation d'un moule 1 du type de celui qui vient d'être décrit comprend la succession d'étapes suivantes:

  • a) préparation de la surface du substrat 2 métallique ;
  • b) dépôt de la sous-couche 4 d'accrochage ; et
  • c) dépôt du revêtement 3 réfractaire.
  • The method according to the invention for producing a mold 1 of the type which has just been described comprises the following sequence of steps:
  • a) preparation of the surface of the metallic substrate 2;
  • b) depositing the sub-layer 4 for attachment; and
  • c) deposit of the refractory lining 3.
  • Une préparation très méticuleuse du substrat 2 est nécessaire pour éliminer de la surface de celui-ci une éventuelle couche d'oxyde et créer des rugosités favorisant l'adhérence de la sous-couche 4 d'accrochage. Cette préparation de la surface à revêtir consiste avantageusement en un corindonage, c'est-à-dire en une projection (grenaillage) de corindon (alumine cristallisée), sur la surface du substrat 2.A very meticulous preparation of substrate 2 is necessary to remove from the surface thereof possible oxide layer and create roughness promoting the adhesion of the bonding underlayer 4. This preparation of the surface to be coated consists advantageously in a corundum, that is to say in a projection (shot blasting) of corundum (alumina crystallized), on the surface of the substrate 2.

    L'opération de corindonage est réalisée au moyen d'une machine à commande numérique. L'état de surface obtenu pour les pièces à revêtir, en particulier leur rugosité, est maítrisé de façon trés précise en jouant sur la distance entre la buse de corindonage et la pièce à revêtir, ainsi que sur l'angle d'incidence suivant lequel les particules de corindon sont projetées sur la pièce.The corundumization operation is carried out by means of a numerically controlled machine. Surface condition obtained for the parts to be coated, in particular their roughness, is very precisely controlled by playing on the distance between the corundumization nozzle and the part to to cover, as well as the angle of incidence according to which the corundum particles are projected onto the part.

    La qualité de cette préparation est primordiale pour le procédé conforme à l'invention, puisqu'elle conditionne l'accrochage mécanique des dépôts sur le substrat 2.The quality of this preparation is essential for the process according to the invention, since it conditions the mechanical attachment of deposits on the substrate 2.

    Cette préparation est préférentiellement réalisée juste avant les opérations de dépôt de la sous-couche 4 d'accrochage et du revêtement 3 réfractaire, afin de ne pas donner à la pièce revêtue le temps de s'oxyder ou de se polluer.This preparation is preferably carried out just before the deposition of the sublayer 4 hooking and refractory lining 3, so as not to not give the coated part time to oxidize or get polluted.

    Selon un mode de mise en oeuvre possible avantageux du procédé de l'invention, les opérations de dépôt sont réalisées par projection thermique par torche plasma.According to a possible mode of implementation advantageous of the process of the invention, the operations of deposition are carried out by thermal spraying by torch plasma.

    La torche plasma est manipulée par un robot et pilotée par un automate programmable, ce qui permet la répétitivité des opérations.The plasma torch is manipulated by a robot and controlled by a programmable controller, which allows repeatability of operations.

    En variante, le dépôt peut également être réalisé en utilisant un chalumeau oxy-acétylénique. La matière à déposer est placée sur le substrat 2 sous forme de cordon ou de poudre, ledit substrat 2 étant porté à haute température (de l'ordre de ou supérieure à 600°C), de façon à favoriser les liaisons chimiques entre la sous-couche d'accrochage 4 et le substrat 2.As a variant, the deposit can also be carried out using an oxy-acetylene torch. The material to deposit is placed on the substrate 2 in the form of a bead or powder, said substrate 2 being brought to high temperature (around or above 600 ° C), so as to promote the chemical bonds between the underlay attachment 4 and the substrate 2.

    Le même soin doit être apporté à la préparation du substrat 2 par corindonage, les opérations de dépôt étant également réalisées rapidement après la préparation dudit substrat 2. The same care must be taken in the preparation of the substrate 2 by corundum, the deposition operations being also carried out quickly after the preparation of said substrate 2.

    Les résultats les plus probants ont été obtenus avec la torche plasma.The most convincing results were obtained with the plasma torch.

    En variante encore, les dépôts de la sous-couche 4 d'accrochage et du revêtement 3 peuvent être réalisés par la torche plasma sur un substrat 2 porté à haute température (de l'ordre de ou supérieure à 600°C).In another variant, the deposits of the undercoat 4 for hanging and covering 3 can be produced by the plasma torch on a substrate 2 brought to high temperature (around or above 600 ° C).

    L'invention permet :

    • des gains substantiels au niveau du coût de fabrication des pièces produites en aluminium coulées en coquille ;
    • une dotation moins importante en nombre de moules pour assurer la production d'une pièce donnée du fait de la suppression du poteyage (aujourd'hui : 8 moules en fabrication, pour 2 moules en poteyage), ce qui se traduit par une réduction des investissements pour fabriquer les pièces de fonderie ;
    • une diminution de la masse des pièces produites du fait de la réduction possible des dépouilles nécessaires à l'extraction de la pièce du moule, les moules poteyés nécessitant quant à eux des dépouilles importantes de façon à éviter la dégradation rapide du poteyage à chaque démoulage de pièce ;
    • l'utilisation de matériaux moins chers que ceux utilisés actuellement pour réaliser des parties de moules du fait de la résistance des dépôts.
    The invention allows:
    • substantial savings in the cost of manufacturing parts produced from cast aluminum;
    • a lower endowment in number of molds to ensure the production of a given part due to the elimination of poteyage (today: 8 molds in production, for 2 molds in poteyage), which translates into a reduction in investments to manufacture foundry parts;
    • a reduction in the mass of the parts produced due to the possible reduction of the spoils necessary for the extraction of the part from the mold, the poteyé molds requiring large spoils in order to avoid rapid degradation of the poteyage with each release from the mold room ;
    • the use of less expensive materials than those currently used to produce parts of molds due to the resistance of the deposits.

    L'invention a été décrite pour la fonderie des alliages d'aluminium en coquille par gravité. Elle s'applique bien entendu de façon générale à tout moulage en coquille, et notamment au moulage en coquille sous haute pression ou sous basse pression. The invention has been described for the foundry of aluminum alloys in gravity shell. She of course applies generally to any molding in shell, and in particular in shell molding under high pressure or under low pressure.

    Une application avantageuse de l'invention est la fabrication de pièces pour véhicules automobiles.An advantageous application of the invention is the manufacture of parts for motor vehicles.
