Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for surface processing the inside of hollow bodies, especially cylinder bores, in preparation for applying a thermal sprayed layer, part of which forms the inside Material removed and a surface with a defined Structure and / or quality is generated.
  • a generic method is known from EP 0 716 158 A1.
  • the engine block is first cast from a metal and then Debris from the walls of the cast cylinder bores be removed so that at least one annular cleaned fresh metal surface is provided. Then will a plasma sprayed layer on this prepared surface deposited and reworked.
  • the cylinder bores are usually prepared by machining with corundum blasting and subsequent degreasing.
  • the goal is to obtain a grease-free surface with an R z value of approximately 25 to 65 ⁇ m.
  • the problem here is that the cylinder bores have to be represented in the correct position by the preparation, since after casting the position of the cast cylinder bore can deviate considerably from the prescribed value.
  • the casting process can cause inhomogeneities, especially in the lower region of the cylinder bores. Voids or pores can form in the material due to a shrinking process during casting (so-called shrinking voids).
  • the object of the present invention is therefore a method to provide the above type, the simplest possible Such as grease-free surfaces of a certain surface quality provides on which the thermally sprayed layers simply and are easy to apply.
  • the solution is that the inside in one process step is machined dry without lubricant using tool with a defined and / or undefined surface profile is used.
  • Lubrication machining is understood to mean that none Lubrication is carried out or that at most minimal lubrication in a volume flow of less than 150 ml / h, at the chips or surface are declared dry, is made.
  • the bores dry, e.g., by spindling, brushing, knurling, circular milling or combinations of one or more of these methods.
  • the tool can have a defined surface profile, so that by machining a surface with a defined one Structure results. Subsequent degreasing or cleaning and roughening is eliminated. After finishing the surface can immediately a layer can be applied by thermal spraying.
  • the tool can be made of cubic boron nitride, polycrystalline Diamond, a coated or uncoated hard metal or consist of a ceramic.
  • As a knurl can be any coated or uncoated surface profiles made of hard metal or MSS or ceramic.
  • On Tool with a defined surface profile can e.g. B. a Cutting tool or one equipped with one or more rolls Tool, the rollers made of hard metal, ceramic or MSS, either coated or uncoated, exist.
  • a Cutting tools with a defined surface profile are preferred one or more cutting devices made of cubic boron nitride, polycrystalline diamond, a coated or uncoated Tungsten carbide or a cutting ceramic is used.
  • the hard metal can in particular be based on titanium carbide or tungsten carbide.
  • the cutting ceramic can in particular consist of silicon nitride or aluminum oxide.
  • the cutting tool can be an indexable insert, for example, with a defined one Be surface texture.
  • the cutting tool can, for example. also a tool equipped with several indexable inserts, For example, be a cutting spindle.
  • a cutting tool with undefined A cutting device, for example, can also have a surface profile made of steel wire with or without coating or a ceramic or a hard material can be used.
  • the method according to the invention therefore makes it possible, in particular Cylinder bores dimension and position tolerant with defined Surface quality for coating with a thermally sprayed Prepare layer.
