Definitions

  • the invention relates to an iron-based alloy for use at elevated temperatures, in particular hot-work steel for tools for non-cutting hot forming of metals and alloys, for example iron, copper or aluminum alloys containing at least the elements carbon, silicon, manganese, chromium, molybdenum and / or tungsten, Vanadium as well as manufacturing-related steel companions and impurities.
  • the invention relates to a tool, in particular for the non-cutting hot forming of metals and alloys.
  • Iron-based alloys that can be used at elevated temperatures are characterized by the fact that the tools made from them have a hardness that is essentially the same as at room temperature, even at working temperatures of 400 ° C to 500 ° C, after appropriate thermal treatment.
  • the high hot hardness or the secondary hardness formed when the hardened material is tempered is achieved by the alloy elements chromium, molybdenum and tungsten and in particular vanadium and possibly also niobium.
  • metal carbides are formed again at low cooling rates or the time available for high atomic rates is or carbon diffusion is not sufficient for carbide formation, so that the lattice with carbon atoms small atomic volume distorted, folded into an alpha configuration without diffusion, forming a hard martensite structure, with cubic surface-centered remaining areas, so-called remaining parts, being retained.
  • a material of this type is often brittle and, due to the residual austenite content, may have low or increased hardness.
  • Hot-work steels such as an iron-based alloy in accordance with DIN material no.1.2343 or in accordance with AISI Type H 11, are the experts in terms of composition, manufacture and the required thermal tempering parameters for the highest achievable hardness, strength and toughness values at operating temperatures up to approx. 500 ° C known.
  • the invention is based on the object of specifying an iron-based alloy for use at elevated temperature, in particular a hot-working steel for tools for non-cutting hot forming of metals and alloys, which, in comparison with known alloys, permits higher working temperatures and has improved material properties.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a tool, in particular for non-cutting hot forming of metals and alloys, which has favorable mechanical characteristics, improved performance properties and an increased service life at operating temperatures of over 500 ° C.
  • Nickel above 0.35% by weight probably deteriorates the temperability of the material by stabilizing the remaining austenite.
  • a particularly high property level is achieved when using a tempered tool in the temperature range from 450 ° C to 570 ° C and beyond.
  • a niobium content in the range of 0.03 to 0.1% by weight not only results in a fine grain of the material with its advantageous effects but also supports the formation of the secondary hardness hump when the hardened material is tempered and its shift to higher temperatures. Titanium concentrations of up to 0.09% by weight promote fine granularity, higher contents reduce the hardness of the alloy. Oxygen contents higher than 0.006% by weight have an unfavorable effect on the mechanical high-temperature properties and in particular impair the polishability of the material.
  • a sulfur content in the range from 0.05 to 0.16% by weight is advantageous for improved mechanical processing thereof.
  • the highest notched impact strength values are achieved even at high application temperatures of the iron-based alloy if, furthermore, as can be provided in a favorable manner, a low phosphorus concentration in the steel of at most 0.01% by weight is set.
  • the total concentration of the important ferrite-forming elements in the material has a decisive influence on the formation of the structure of the tempering structure and thus on the performance properties of the part. If, as in a further embodiment of the invention, if the total Cr content, Mo, Si and Al of the alloy have values between 7.6 and 8.8% by weight, an extremely safe, largely process-insensitive conversion behavior is achieved with a particularly fine microstructure during hardening and tempering of the material.
  • the further aim of the invention is achieved in a tool of the type mentioned at the outset if it has a chemical composition of the material according to one of claims 1 to 4 and a material hardness of at least 53, preferably at least 54, HRC, a tensile strength of at least 1195, preferably of at least 1200, N / mm 2 , a 0.2% proof stress of at least 1060, preferably of 1070, N / mm 2 , an elongation and contraction of at least 18.5 or 60%, preferably of at least 20 or 66 %, at a temperature of 500 ° C to 550 ° C.
  • the alloy according to the invention is thermally tempered to at least the values indicated above, an optimum property level of the hot working tool is achieved. This applies not only to the mechanical values at high working temperatures but also to lower heat wear, increased creep rupture strength, reduced susceptibility to fire cracking and less tendency to stick, for example, of the forging blank on the die. Although exact scientific data are still lacking, the hot work steel is likely to form an oxide layer on the work surfaces due to the intended high aluminum content in high-temperature operation, which in combination with other alloy elements has high adhesion and abrasion resistance and reduces the tendency to stick to the workpiece.
  • a nitriding layer with high hardness has proven to be particularly advantageous for this because, on the one hand, an increased aluminum content of the material promotes absorption of nitrogen or the formation of a nitriding layer and a hard layer can be formed in a particularly simple manner, on the other hand the layer with increased hardness has an increased volume and thereby generates compressive stresses in the area of the tool near the work surface and significantly reduces the tendency to crack will.
  • the nitrogen in the air probably causes a further nitriding of the surface in the case of a tool with a high working temperature due to the aluminum content of the material, so that the thickness of the hard layer is largely retained even if there is little abrasion in practical use.
