Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur pulvermetallurgischen Herstellung von verbesserte Isotropie der mechanischen Eigenschaften aufweisendem Material mit rechteckigem oder flachelliptischem Querschnitt, sogenannten Breit-Flach-Material, insbesondere Vormaterial für die Herstellung von Schneid-, Stanz- und Umformwerkzeugen, bei welchem Verfahren ein mit Gas hergestelltes, insbesondere mit Stickstoff verdüstes Pulver einer Legierung in eine Kapsel eingebracht, verdichtet und diese, gegebenefalls nach einem Evakuieren, verschlossen wird, wonach ein Erwärmen und isostatisches Pressen (HIP-en) der Pulverkapsel erfolgen und der derart hergestellte heißisostatisch gepreßte Rohling einer Verformung durch Schmieden und/oder Walzen unterworfen wird.The invention relates to a method for the powder metallurgical production of improved isotropy of the material having mechanical properties rectangular or flat-elliptical cross-section, so-called wide-flat material, especially raw material for the production of cutting, punching and Forming tools, in which method a gas-made in particular a nitrogen-atomized powder of an alloy in a capsule introduced, compressed and this, if necessary after an evacuation, is closed, after which heating and isostatic pressing (HIP-en) of the Powder capsule and the hot isostatically pressed blank produced in this way is subjected to deformation by forging and / or rolling.

Um in Dickenrichtung des Querschnittes bei einer Längsbeanspruchung hohe Zähigkeitseigenschaften zu erzielen, ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, daß ein Rohling mit einer derart rechteckigen oder flachelliptischen Querschnittsform erstellt und einer Umformung unterworfen wird, daß bei dieser der Unterschied zwischen der Verformung in Richtung der Breite und der Verformung in Dickenrichtung des Querschnittes des Breit-Flach-Materials höchstens das 2-fache, vorzugsweise höchstens das 1,5-fache des niedrigeren Verformungswertes beträgt oder daß der heißisostatisch gepeßte Rohling in Richtung der Längserstreckung einer Stauchumformung mit einem mindestens zweifachen Stauchgrad unterworfen wird, wonach eine Reckumformung des gestauchten Rohlings unter Ausformung des Breit-Flach-Materials erfolgt, oder daß der heißisostatisch gepreßte Rohling einer Diffusionsglühbehandlung mit einer höchsten Temperatur von 20°C unterhalb der Solidustemperatur der Legierung und einer Mindestglühdauer von 4 Stunden unterworfen wird, wonach dieser durch Reckumformung zu einem Breit-Flach-Material geschmiedet und/oder gewalzt wird.To be high in the thickness direction of the cross section with a longitudinal stress To achieve toughness properties, the invention provides that a Blank with such a rectangular or flat elliptical cross-sectional shape created and is subjected to a transformation that the difference between the deformation in the width direction and the deformation in the thickness direction of the Cross-section of the wide-flat material at most 2 times, preferably is at most 1.5 times the lower deformation value or that the hot isostatically pressed blank in the direction of the longitudinal extent of a Is subjected to upsetting with at least twice the amount of upsetting, whereupon a stretch forming of the compressed blank while shaping the Wide flat material takes place, or that the hot isostatically pressed blank one Diffusion annealing treatment with a maximum temperature of 20 ° C below the Solidus temperature of the alloy and a minimum annealing time of 4 hours is subjected, after which this by stretching to a Wide flat material is forged and / or rolled.

Ein erfindungsgemäß hergestelltes Material ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Zähigkeit des Werkstoffes gemessen in jeglicher Richtung, insbesondere in Dickenrichtung des Querschnittes des Materials, größer ist als jene des Werkstoffes im heißisostatisch gepreßten umverformten Zustand.A material produced according to the invention is characterized in that the Toughness of the material measured in any direction, especially in Thickness direction of the cross section of the material is larger than that of the material in the hot isostatically pressed, deformed state.
