Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a material wire for the production of moldings made of wear-resistant and tribologically favorable aluminum / silicon alloys thermal spraying method, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such Material wire is e.g. from DE 19 841 619 A1 or EP 987339 A known.
  • Alloys of this type are known per se, in particular as surface coatings. You will find in particular as cylinder liners of cylinder housings in Reciprocating machines or internal combustion engines use.
  • Coatings Aluminum / silicon alloys are known for example from US 50 22 455 A. In layers of molten aluminum and silicon particles are described, the be sprayed separately onto the surface to be coated. Although such Coatings can be applied in a variety of ways to surfaces of substrates thermal spray processes are particularly suitable, for example Plasma spraying or wire arc spraying. When plasma spraying is in the flame melted powdered starting material used in the Wire arc spraying is a metallic starting material in the form of a material wire. Wire arc spraying is particularly preferred because of its high cycle times a large application rate of the coating allows and with regard to the material as well is inexpensive with regard to the system.
  • the wire has a solid core conductive metal and a shell in which solid lubricant particles and wear-resistant Particles suspended homogeneously in a conductive metal corresponding to the solid core are.
  • a composite wire is relatively complex to manufacture and expensive and not suitable for all applications.
  • JP 53-149 832 is a wire with a sub-entectic Al / Si alloy known.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a material wire of the above type to deliver, which has a good and precise eligibility and, an even Distribution of the alloying elements.
  • a tube made of casing material is filled with filler material and then subjected to drawing and / or rolling processes to the diameter of the Reduce wire.
  • Magnesium is preferably added to the aluminum alloy of the shell. Because by that is the surface of the shell of the during the drawing and rolling processes in the manufacture Cored wire solidified. This results in a good and precise eligibility of the Material wire.
  • the ratio of the proportions in the resulting alloy to that to be produced Shaped body can be adjusted and controlled.
  • Addition of boron as a component of the fill is preferred to improve fluidity to improve the molded body to be produced.
  • the silicon content is preferably about 15% by weight to about 40% by weight.
  • a silicon content of between approximately 20% by weight and approximately 30 is more preferred Wt .-%.
  • the material wire is preferably composed of sheath and filling such that in addition to Aluminum and silicon together further portions of the molded body to be produced less than about 2% by weight.
  • the wire preferably has a filling, the components of which have a statistical average Grain size between 300 and 600 ⁇ m exhibit.
  • This version relates in particular to fillings that are silicon or im contain substantial silicon or at least a silicon portion.
  • the filling contains essentially silicon, while the casing in contains essential aluminum, the content of silicon based on the Total wire weight between 20 and 26, more preferably between 21 and 25 and am most preferred is between 22 and 24% by weight, the rest i.w. Is aluminum.
  • the silicon content due to enrichment by Al burn, between 22 and 29, more preferably between 24 and 28 and most preferably between 25 and 27% by weight.
  • the filling preferably contains up to max. 1% by weight boron, up to max. 10% by weight A1 and the rest Silicon, while the shell up to max. 1 wt% Si, max. 2% by weight of Mg and max. to 4 % By weight of Mn and A1.
  • the material wire according to the invention is preferably used in wire arc spraying processes Use. And preferred here for the production of cylinder liners from Internal combustion engines.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic sketch of the material wire 10 according to the invention, the one Cover 12 and a filling 14 comprises.
  • the shell 12 comprises an alloy Aluminum with the alloy components silicon, magnesium, manganese. From the shell 12 includes the filling 14, the other powdery components for a resulting alloy of a molded body to be produced, which with the Material wire according to the invention by an arc spraying method on a substrate can be applied.
  • the filling contains the alloy components silicon, boron and Aluminum.
  • the manufacturing process provides for the provision of a closed seamless tube as a sheath 12.
  • the shell 12 comprises an aluminum-based alloy with at least one further alloy component.
  • magnesium, silicon and manganese are added to the aluminum.
  • the tube of the sleeve 12 can be drawn, welded, or extruded.
  • the casing 12 is then filled with a filling material 14.
  • the components of the filling 14 are in the form of a coarse powder.
  • a powder mixture is used which has silicon, aluminum and boron. Even if a coarse powder is used, the maximum grain size is about 600 ⁇ m.
  • the silicon content of the wire is about 23%, with the rest being aluminum.
  • the filling 14 is compressed by directional shaking when filling.
  • the powder of the filling 14 is crushed, which leads to a dense filling and has a positive effect on the uniform distribution in the layer. Therefore, no organic or inorganic binders have to be used in the production of the material wire according to the invention, which furthermore has a positive effect on a low porosity in the layer. This represents a significant improvement compared to surface coatings produced by plasma spraying, since only fine agglomerated and therefore expensive powders can be used here.
  • the silicon portion of the spray layer formed is between 25 and 27% by weight due to an Si enrichment caused by Al erosion during the spraying process.
  • the diameter of the wire before drawing is about 10-11 mm, preferably about 10.4 mm, 6.4 mm for the filling and 4.0 mm for the casing. After pulling the wire has a diameter of 3.6 to 4 mm, of which about 2-3 mm on the filling omitted.
  • composition of the alloy of the spray layer or of the shaped body formed is max. 2% by weight B, max. 5% by weight Mn, max. 3% by weight of Mg, between 15-40% by weight Si and between 60-85 wt .-% Al.
  • the Mg content can be higher due to Al burnup preferred Al content is about 75%, the preferred Si content is about 25%.
