Abstract

PCT No. PCT/EP94/03401 Sec. 371 Date Jun. 26, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Jun. 26, 1995 PCT Filed Oct. 15, 1994 PCT Pub. No. WO95/12692 PCT Pub. Date May 11, 1995Special-steel alloys for high-load-bearing chains and corresponding chain parts containing portions of carbon, silicon, manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, chromium, molybdenum, nickel and aluminum. In order to impart a higher strength and toughness for this purpose to the special-steel an additional alloy proportion of tungsten is used in a given weight ratio.

Description

TECHNISCHES GEBIETTECHNICAL AREA

Die Erfindung betrifft die Verwendung einer Edelstahl-Legierung mit Anteilen von Kohlenstoff, Silicium, Mangan, Phosphor, Schwefel, Chrom, Molybdän, Nickel, Aluminium und Eisen mit herstellungsbedingten Verunreinigungen als Rest gemäß den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs als Werkstoff zur Herstellung von Ketten und Kettenbauteilen.The invention relates to the use of a stainless steel alloy with proportions of carbon, silicon, manganese, Phosphorus, sulfur, chromium, molybdenum, nickel, aluminum and Iron with production-related impurities as the rest according to the features of the claim as a material for Manufacture of chains and chain components.

STAND DER TECHNIKSTATE OF THE ART

Grundsätzlich ist eine solche Legierung aus der US-PS 4,729,872 bekannt. Dies gilt allerdings nicht für die Verwendung einer solchen Legierung für Ketten oder Kettenbauteile.Basically, such an alloy is from US-PS 4,729,872 known. However, this does not apply to the use of such an alloy for chains or chain components.

Ein konventioneller Werkstoff für Ketten und Kettenbauteile hat bezüglich der wesentlichen Nebenbestandteile folgende chemische Zusammensetzung: C Si Mn P S Cr 0,20-0,26% < 0,25% 1,10-1,40% < 0,020% < 0,020% 0,40-0,60% Mo Ni Al Cu N 0,50-0,60% 0,90-1,10% 0,020-0,050% < 0,25% < 0,012% A conventional material for chains and chain components has the following chemical composition with regard to the essential secondary components: C. Si Mn P S Cr 0.20-0.26% <0.25% 1.10-1.40% <0.020% <0.020% 0.40-0.60% Mon Ni Al Cu N 0.50-0.60% 0.90-1.10% 0.020-0.050% <0.25% <0.012%

Man hat zur Optimierung dieses bekannten Werkstoffs zum Teil eine Einengung der angegebenen Toleranzgrenzen und zum Teil eine Überschreitung der Toleranzgrenzen für die Legierungsanteile vorgenommen, im wesentlichen jedoch die Zusammensetzung unverändert gelassen, weil neben der Festigkeit auch die notwendige Warmbehandlung der Edelstähle bei der Herstellung von Ketten und Kettenbauteilen berücksichtigt werden muß, denn insbesondere bei der Herstellung von Kettengliedern muß mit Abbrenn- und Widerstandsschweißen gearbeitet werden. Hier kommt es darauf an, daß auch in der Schweißzone der Kettenglieder die erforderlichen technologischen Eigenschaften des Werkstoffes erhalten bleiben. Außerdem muß bei der Warmbehandlung der fertigen Kette ein Kompromiß zwischen der Härte, also der Materialfestigkeit, und dem Verschleißwiderstand gefunden werden, um der bei höherer Festigkeit allgemein verminderten Zähigkeitseigen- schaften Rechnung zu tragen.One has to optimize this known material for Part of a narrowing of the specified tolerance limits and partly exceeding the tolerance limits for the Alloy proportions made, but essentially the Composition left unchanged because in addition to the Strength also the necessary heat treatment of the stainless steels in the manufacture of chains and chain components must be taken into account, especially in the case of Manufacture of chain links must be with flash-off and resistance welding be worked. Here it comes down to it indicates that also in the welding zone of the chain links required technological properties of the material remain. In addition, the heat treatment the finished chain a compromise between the Hardness, i.e. the material strength, and wear resistance to be found at higher strength generally reduced toughness properties to wear.

Um den steigenden Anforderungen an Rundstahlketten und -zubehör für den Bergbau, den sogenannten Bergbauketten, gerecht zu werden, hat man durch Geometrieveränderungen an den Kettengliedern und den Kettenbauteilen höhere Standzeiten erzielt. Man stößt dabei jedoch schnell an die geometrischen Randbedingungen, die von den Einsatzfällen vorgegeben werden. Bei Förderketten werden mit größerer Dimension größere Kettenräder erforderlich, die eine entsprechende Bauhöhe bedingen. Vor allem im Untertagebetrieb kommt es bei Förderanlagen auf die Einsparung von Einbauhöhe an, wozu man in der geometrischen Gestaltung der Kettenglieder und Kettenschlösser schon zu unterschiedlichen Mitteln, wie Abflachung von Kettengliedern oder unterschiedliche Teilungen der vertikal- und der horizontallaufenden Kettenglieder, gegriffen hat. To meet the increasing demands on round steel chains and -Accessories for mining, the so-called mining chains, One has to do justice by changing the geometry the chain links and chain components have a longer service life achieved. However, one quickly comes across the geometric ones Boundary conditions specified by the application will. Conveyor chains are larger Dimension larger sprockets required that have a corresponding Require overall height. Especially in underground operations the saving of Installation height, which is why in the geometric design the chain links and chain locks are too different Means such as flattening chain links or different divisions of the vertical and the horizontal chain links.

DIE ERFINDUNGTHE INVENTION

Die Erfindung beruht auf der Verwendung einer verbesserten Werkstofflegierung für die Kettenbauteile und das Kettenzubehör. Man erreicht mit der erfindungsgemäß zu verwendenden Legierung wegen des zusätzlichen Legierungsanteils von Wolfram eine höhere Festigkeit und Zähigkeit des für Ketten und Kettenzubehör vorgesehenen Edelstahls, ohne daß die Schmiede- und Schweißfähigkeit sowie die Warmbehandlungseigenschaften der Kette beeinträchtigt sind, was für hochfeste Ketten und Kettenbauteile, insbesondere für Bergbauketten und -zubehör eine unerläßliche Forderung ist.The invention is based on the use of an improved one Material alloy for the chain components and chain accessories. One achieves with the one to be used according to the invention Alloy because of the additional alloy content of tungsten for higher strength and toughness Chains and chain accessories provided stainless steel without the ability to forge and weld as well as the heat treatment properties the chain are compromised what for high-strength chains and chain components, especially for Mining chains and accessories are an essential requirement is.

Die erfindungsgemäß verwendete Edelstahl-Legierung für Ketten und Kettenzubehör ermöglicht bei gleichen geometrischen Abmessungen der Kettenglieder oder der Kettenbauteile ein verbessertes Leistungsvermögen, umgekehrt kann man bei gleichem Leistungsvermögen den Materialeinsatz bei Ketten und Kettenzubehör reduzieren. So ergibt sich ferner im Vergleich zu den bisher erzielten Leistungssteigerungen bei Ketten und Kettenbauteilen durch Geometrieveränderungen eine Energie- und Rohstoffeinsparung.The stainless steel alloy used according to the invention for Chains and chain accessories allow for the same geometric Dimensions of the chain links or chain components an improved performance, vice versa you can use the material with the same performance reduce chains and chain accessories. So results further compared to those achieved so far Performance increases for chains and chain components Geometry changes save energy and raw materials.
