Definitions

  • the invention relates to an iron-based alloy for use with increased Temperature, especially hot working 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, aluminum, if appropriate Sulfur as well as manufacturing-related steel components and impurities.
  • metals and alloys for example iron, copper or Aluminum alloys containing at least the elements carbon, silicon, Manganese, chromium, molybdenum and / or tungsten, vanadium, aluminum, if appropriate Sulfur as well as manufacturing-related steel components and impurities.
  • the invention relates to a tool, in particular for non-cutting Hot forming of metals and alloys.
  • Hot working steels are characterized by the fact that they are made from them Tools with the appropriate thermal tempering also for Working temperatures from 400 ° C to 500 ° C an essentially equally high hardness as at room temperature.
  • the high warm hardness or that when starting of the hardened material is formed by the secondary hardness Alloy elements chromium, molybdenum as well as tungsten and in particular vanadium and possibly also reached niobium.
  • Warning steel such as an iron-based alloy according to DIN Material no. 1.2343 or according to AISI Type H 11 are regarding the Composition, manufacture and the required thermal Remuneration parameters for highest achievable hardness, strength and Toughness values at operating temperatures up to approx. 500 ° C are known to the person skilled in the art.
  • the invention is based on the object of an iron-based alloy Use at elevated temperature, especially a hot-work steel for Tools for non-cutting hot forming of metals and alloys, indicate which or which higher in comparison with known alloys Permits working temperatures and has improved material properties.
  • Temperature of over 500 ° C increases the working hardness, the fire crack resistance improved and the material toughness increased.
  • a tool, in particular for a chipless hot forming of Metals and alloys which can be used at operating temperatures of over 500 ° C favorable mechanical parameters, improved performance properties and has an increased lifespan.
  • Nickel and nitrogen are of particular importance.
  • Nickel over 0.35% by weight probably deteriorates the temperability of the material a stabilization of the remaining austenite.
  • a nitrogen concentration greater than 0.015% by weight causes the formation of aluminum nitride, which has grain boundaries accumulated a disproportionate decrease in the toughness values of the material can cause.
  • the material has the following elements in% by weight: carbon 0.30 to 0.50 Silicon (Si) 0.75 to 1.60 manganese 0.30 to 0.80 chrome 3.20 to 6.50 Molybdenum (Mo) 0 to 1.65 Tungsten (W) 0 to 3.00 (Mon + W / 2) 0.95 to 1.65 Vanadium 0.25 to 1.20 Aluminum (Al) 0.75 to 1.60 (Al + Si) 1.60 to 2.60 niobium 0 to 0.15 titanium 0 to 0.15 nickel max 0.35 nitrogen max 0.015 Remainder iron and accompanying elements.
  • the iron-based alloy for use at elevated temperature particularly preferably has contents of essentially the following elements in% by weight: carbon 0.35 to 0.40 Silicon (Si) 0.90 to 1.20 manganese 0.35 to 0.55 chrome 4.50 to 5.50 Molybdenum (Mo) 0.75 to 1.50 Tungsten (W) 0 to 1.50 (Mon + W / 2) 1.20 to 1.50 Vanadium 0.30 to 0.60 Aluminum (Al) 0.80 to 1.25 (Al + Si) 1.85 to 2.40 niobium 0.03 to 0.1 titanium 0 to 0.09 nickel max 0.18 nitrogen max 0.009 oxygen max. 0.006 as an accompanying element
  • a Niobium content in the range of 0.03 to 0.1% by weight not only results in fine grain of the material with its beneficial effects but also supports the Formation of the secondary hardness hump when tempering the hardened material and its shift to higher temperatures. Titanium concentrations up to 0.09 % By weight promotes fine-grainedness, higher contents reduce one Hardness assumption of the alloy. Oxygen contents higher than preferably 0.006% by weight act adversely affect the mechanical high temperature properties and deteriorate in particular a polishability of the material.
  • Iron based alloy for use at elevated temperature Sulfur in the range of in wt .-% 0.05 to 0.16 advantageous for an improved mechanical processing of the same.
  • 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 preferred embodiment of the invention, the total content of Cr, Mo, Si and Al of the alloy has values between 7.6 and 8.8% by weight, an extremely safe, largely process-insensitive conversion behavior with a particularly fine microstructure achieved when hardening and tempering 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% Yield strength of at least 1060, preferably of 1070, N / mm 2 , has 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 values marked above will be an optimal property level of the Hot work tool reached. This affects not only the mechanical values at high working temperature but also less warm wear, increased creep rupture strength, reduced fire crack sensitivity and less For example, the forging blank tends to stick to the die. Although exact scientific data is still missing, the hot-work steel is likely to be provided high aluminum content in high temperature operation an oxide layer form on the work surfaces, which in association with other alloy elements has high adhesion and abrasion resistance and the tendency to stick to Workpiece reduced.
