Definitions

  • the invention relates to a corrosion-resistant alloy according to the preamble of claim 1. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for producing cutlery with high hardness and great flexural strength according to the preamble of claim 4.
  • Corrosion-resistant alloys in particular for cutlery, are required in the food and luxury food industry, which have to withstand chemical attacks particularly well and must not cause any changes in taste and shorten the shelf life of dishes and the like.
  • the highest possible corrosion resistance and good polishability of the material used is also required for medical instruments. Both types of use also require high material toughness, hardness and good burr-free sharpenability, although there are no particularly high demands on the wear resistance of the material.
  • Stainless steels i.e. iron-based alloys with a Cr content of around 13%, e.g. DIN material No. 1.4110, are successfully used for cutlery.
  • alloys with approx. 18% Cr content e.g. material No. 1.4112, are also used, which have an increased resistance to chemical substances due to a higher Cr concentration To have an attack.
  • Alloys with approx. 18% Cr and over 0.85% C have the disadvantage, however, that the flexural toughness and the polishability can be reduced, in particular by coarse carbide precipitations, with increased wear resistance and hardness of the material. Attempts have already been made to use a steel with approx.
  • the object of the invention is now to provide a particularly corrosion-resistant alloy which is compatible with skin contact and has a high hardness, good polishability and, in particular, a high flexural toughness with high fracture resistance, which can also be used in media containing chlorine ions.
  • the invention further aims to provide a method for producing corrosion-resistant cutlery for the food industry and for medical instruments, with which the disadvantages of the known cut parts are eliminated.
  • the advantages achieved by the invention consist in particular in that the composition of the alloy with a low total carbide content ensures small carbide grain sizes as well as a high matrix hardness and thus good grinding and polishing properties and in particular good bending toughness. It is important that the sum of the carbon and nitrogen contents is in a certain range within the concentration limits. It was surprisingly found that for a steel with a chromium content of approximately 17.5% Chromium concentration in the matrix is increased by alloying with nitrogen and the corrosion resistance can thus be improved, the carbon concentration being able to be reduced without sacrificing hardenability.
  • the advantages achieved by the invention can be seen essentially in the fact that alloys can be produced economically and the best performance properties of the parts can be achieved by heat treatment of the knives and instruments made therefrom. It is important that the alloying requirements are met and that a solution structure treatment results in a homogeneous structure. Also of particular importance is a soft annealing of the material around the A3 point of the alloy before austenitizing, in order to even out the precipitation and transformation kinetics during subsequent cooling with increased intensity. A subsequent tempering treatment is carried out at a comparatively low temperature and is used in particular to relax the material.
  • At least one deep-freeze treatment of the material is carried out after hardening, in order to also convert any portion of residual austenite remaining in the structure into martensite.
  • Table 1 lists test materials and Table 2 shows a summary of the performance characteristics of the cutlery made from the materials when using different heat treatment parameters.
