Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Achselements für Kraftfahrzeuge.The invention relates to a method for producing an axle element for Motor vehicles.
Achselemente von Kraftfahrzeugen, insbesondere Schwenklager für die Vorderachse, sind relativ komplexe gegossene oder geschmiedete einstückig ausgebildete Bauteile, die aus einem Stahlgusswerkstoff oder auch aus Aluminium hergestellt werden. An Schwenklagern greifen erhebliche Kräfte an, weshalb diese Bauteile in der Regel aus einem Vollmaterial gefertigt werden. Aus Gründen der Gewichtsersparnis kommen zunehmend Leichtmetalle, wie Aluminium, zum Einsatz.Axle elements of motor vehicles, in particular swivel bearings for the front axle, are relatively complex cast or forged one-piece designs Components made of cast steel or aluminum getting produced. Considerable forces act on pivot bearings, which is why these components are usually made from a solid material. For reasons the weight savings come increasingly light metals, such as aluminum, for use.
Bei der schmiedetechnischen Herstellung von Schwenklagern aus Aluminium dient stranggepresstes Rundmaterial als Rohling. Fertig geschmiedete Schwenklager weisen jedoch eine sehr ungleichmäßige Massenverteilung auf, die nicht mit der zylindrischen Form des Rohlings einhergeht. Um dennoch in Bereichen, in denen mehr Masse vorhanden sein muss als in anderen Bereichen, ausreichend Material für den Schmiedevorgang zur Verfügung zu haben, werden hinreichend große Rohlinge verwendet. Der Nachteil der verwendeten Rohlinge ist, dass eine relativ große Menge Energie erforderlich ist, um den Rohling auf die zur Warmumformung erforderliche Schmiedetemperatur zu erwärmen. Andererseits ist der Abfallanteil in Bereichen mit geringeren Massenanhäufungen relativ hoch. Dies ist insbesondere kostenmäßig nachteilig, weil es sich bei Aluminium um einen vergleichsweise teuren Werkstoff handelt. Die vorstehenden Probleme gelten nicht nur für Schwenklager, sondern für Achselemente im allgemeinen.In the forging production of swivel bearings made of aluminum extruded round material serves as a blank. Fully forged However, swivel bearings have a very uneven mass distribution, which does not go along with the cylindrical shape of the blank. To still in Areas where there must be more mass than in other areas to have enough material available for the forging process, sufficiently large blanks are used. The disadvantage of the used Blanks is that a relatively large amount of energy is required to power the Heat the blank to the forging temperature required for hot forming. On the other hand, the proportion of waste is in areas with lower mass accumulations quite high. This is particularly disadvantageous in terms of cost because of it aluminum is a comparatively expensive material. The The above problems apply not only to swivel bearings, but to axle elements in general.
Der Erfindung liegt hiervon ausgehend die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Achselements für Kraftfahrzeuge aus einem stabförmigen Halbzeug aus Aluminium aufzuzeigen, bei welchem die zur Umformung zuzuführende Energiemenge vermindert ist und herstellungsbedingte Materialverluste reduziert werden.Proceeding from this, the object of the invention is to develop a method for Production of an axle element for motor vehicles from a rod-shaped To show semi-finished aluminum, in which the to be fed for forming The amount of energy is reduced and production-related material losses be reduced.
Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung liegt in einem Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Achselements für Kraftfahrzeuge, bei welchem ein stabförmiges Halbzeug aus Aluminium auf eine Umformtemperatur erwärmt und das erste Ende des Halbzeugs in einer Gravur eines Umformwerkzeugs von einem ersten Stempel aufgestaucht wird, anschließend das zweite Ende von einem zweiten Stempel in die Gravur gepresst wird, wobei das verpresste Material in eine Abzweigung der Gravur zu einem Schenkel ausgeformt wird. Hieran schließt sich dann ein Schmiedevorgang an, in dem das bereits zu einem Vorschmiedestück umgeformte Halbzeug endgeformt wird.The solution according to the invention lies in a method for producing a Axle elements for motor vehicles, in which a rod-shaped semi-finished product Aluminum heated to a forming temperature and the first end of the semi-finished product in an engraving of a forming tool upset by a first stamp , then the second end of a second stamp in the engraving is pressed, with the pressed material in a branch of the Engraving is formed into a leg. This then includes itself Forging process in which that has already been formed into a pre-forging Semi-finished product is finished.
Mit der Erfindung wird erreicht, dass die gleichmäßige Massenverteilung des stabförmigen Halbzeugs, insbesondere eines Rundmaterials, im Hinblick auf das zu fertigende Achselement dahingehend verändert wird, dass in Bereichen mit größeren Massenanhäufungen in einer Vorstufe des eigentlichen Schmiedevorgangs mehr Material bereitgestellt wird, als in anderen Bereichen und somit eine Massenverteilung ähnlich der des zu fertigenden Achselement erreicht wird.With the invention it is achieved that the uniform mass distribution of the rod-shaped semifinished product, in particular a round material, with regard to the axis element to be manufactured is changed so that in areas with larger mass accumulations in a preliminary stage of the actual forging process more material is provided than in other areas and thus achieving a mass distribution similar to that of the axis element to be manufactured becomes.
Für das Aufstauchen besitzt das Umformwerkzeug eine Gravur, die eine Materialverdickung in diskreten Bereichen ermöglicht. Hierbei kann je nach Gravur das erste Ende unmittelbar von dem Stempel aufgestaucht werden. Es kann aber auch eine Ausnehmung der Gravur im Abstand vom ersten Ende des Halbzeugs vorgesehen sein, in der sich beim Stauchvorgang eine Materialanhäufung durch verpresstes Material ergibt. Die geometrische Form der Gravur wird unter Berücksichtigung von bestimmten Durchmesser-/Stauchlängenverhältnissen festgelegt. Um Fältelungen an der Oberfläche zu vermeiden, soll die Stauchlänge ein Fünffaches des Durchmessers des Halbzeugs nicht überschreiten. Zum Stauchen wird der erste Stempel an das Halbzeug herangefahren und verfährt dann mit einer Geschwindigkeit von bis zu 150 mm/s auf die festgelegte Stauchlänge.For the upsetting, the forming tool is engraved with a material thickening in discrete areas. Depending on the engraving the first end immediately upset by the stamp. It can but also a recess of the engraving at a distance from the first end of the Semi-finished product can be provided, in which a material accumulation during the upsetting process resulting from pressed material. The geometric shape of the engraving is taking into account certain diameter / compression length ratios established. To wrinkles on the surface too should avoid the upsetting length five times the diameter of the semi-finished product do not exceed. The first stamp on the semi-finished product is used for upsetting approached and then moves at a speed of up to 150 mm / s to the specified upsetting length.
Im Anschluss an das Aufstauchen des ersten Endes wirkt ein zweiter Stempel auf das zweite Ende des Halbzeugs ein und presst dieses in die Gravur. Das verpresste Material fließt dabei rückwärts in eine Abzweigung der Gravur, die im Winkel zur Mittellängsachse des stabförmigen Halbzeugs steht. Hier wird das verpresste Material zu einem Schenkel ausgeformt. Die Abzweigung kann dabei auf halber Stauchlänge ausgebildet sein. Vorteilhaft ist die Gravur derart ausgelegt, dass eine neutrale Faser im Bereich der Mittellängsebene des ausgeformten Schenkels gebildet wird. Dadurch ist gewährleistet, dass in der anschließenden Fertigschmiedung im Gesenk diese neutrale Faser in den Grat fließt und dadurch eine einwandfreie gerichtete Gefügestruktur im Bauteil ermöglicht wird. Die neutrale Faser wird durch die Parameter Stempelgeschwindigkeit, Temperatur des Umformwerkzeugs und des Halbzeugs, Geometrie der Gravur und Friktion an der Oberfläche der Gravur in ihrem Rekristallisationsverhalten beeinflusst. Durch die optimale Wahl dieser Parameter ist die Rekristallisation auf ein Minimum reduzierbar. Following the emergence of the first end, a second stamp is effective on the second end of the semi-finished product and press it into the engraving. The pressed material flows backwards into a branch of the engraving, the is at an angle to the central longitudinal axis of the rod-shaped semi-finished product. Here will the pressed material is shaped into a leg. The junction can be formed at half the compression length. The engraving is advantageous designed that a neutral fiber in the area of the central longitudinal plane of the molded Leg is formed. This ensures that in the subsequent Finish forging in the die this neutral fiber into the ridge flows and thereby enables a flawlessly directed microstructure in the component becomes. The neutral fiber is determined by the parameters Temperature of the forming tool and the semi-finished product, geometry of the Engraving and friction on the surface of the engraving in their recrystallization behavior affected. The optimal choice of these parameters is recrystallization reducible to a minimum.
Mit dieser Erfindung werden in einem einzigen Umformwerkzeug zwei verschiedene Verfahren miteinander kombiniert. Einerseits das endseitige Aufstauchen des Halbzeugs und andererseits ein Fließpressen zur Ausbildung eines Schenkels, ohne dass das stabförmige Halbzeug zwischen diesen beiden Fertigungsschritten einem weiteren Umformwerkzeug zugeführt werden müsste.With this invention, two different are in a single forming tool Process combined. On the one hand, end upsetting of the semi-finished product and on the other hand an extrusion for training of a leg without the rod-shaped semi-finished product between these two Manufacturing steps are fed to another forming tool would.
Das derart zu einem Vorschmiedestück umgeformte Halbzeug wird anschließend in einem Schmiedevorgang endgeformt.The semi-finished product thus formed into a pre-forging is then finished in a forging process.
Die Vorteile des Verfahrens sind darin zu sehen, dass Halbzeuge, wie beispielsweise stranggepresstes Rundmaterial mit geringerem Ausgangsquerschnitt zum Einsatz kommen kann und dennoch eine zum Schmieden günstige Massenverteilung durch die Vorformung erreicht wird. Gleichzeitig ist zum Erwärmen des Halbzeugs aufzubringende Energie durch die geringere Masse des Halbzeugs niedriger. Schließlich fallen durch die endformnahe Konturgebung des Vorschmiedestücks geringere Gratverluste beim Schmiedevorgang an, so dass von vornherein weniger Ausgangsmaterial eingesetzt werden muss.The advantages of the process can be seen in the fact that semi-finished products, such as extruded round material with a smaller initial cross-section can be used and still a cheap forging Mass distribution is achieved through the preforming. At the same time is for heating of the semi-finished product energy due to the lower mass of the Semi-finished lower. Finally, the contours are close to the final shape of the pre-forging, less burr losses during the forging process, see above that less raw material has to be used from the outset.
Aus anlagentechnischer Sicht ist die sinnvolle Aufteilung der Kräfte für das Stauchen und das Rückwärtsfließpressen notwendig, wobei diese Vorgänge vorteilhafterweise in horizontaler Richtung ausgeführt werden. Um das Umformwerkzeug während des Umformprozesses geschlossen zu halten, muss die an dem Umformwerkzeug angreifende Zuhaltekraft ca. ein Zehnfaches der von dem ersten Stempel und dem zweiten Stempel aufgebrachten Kraft betragen.From a plant engineering point of view, the sensible division of forces for Upsetting and backward extrusion are necessary, these operations advantageously be carried out in the horizontal direction. To the forming tool To keep it closed during the forming process, the locking force acting on the forming tool is approximately ten times that of the force applied to the first stamp and the second stamp.
Gemäß den Maßnahmen des Anspruchs 2 wird das zweite Ende des Halbzeugs
gegen die Haltekraft des ersten Stempels in die Gravur gepresst. Das
bedeutet, dass nach dem Aufstauchvorgang des ersten Stempels dieser als
Gegenhalter fungiert und ohne Zeitverlust oder Umsetzung des Werkstücks der
Fließpressvorgang durch den zweiten Stempel initiiert werden kann. Umgekehrt
dient der zweite Stempel während des Aufstauchvorgangs ebenfalls als Gegenhalter. According to the measures of
Während Rohteile beim Warmschmieden auf eine Temperatur oberhalb der Rekristallisationstemperatur erwärmt werden, damit keine bleibende Verfestigung des Werkstückwerkstoffs auftritt, genügt es für die Fertigung eines Vorschmiedestücks aus Aluminium, dass die Umformtemperatur niedriger ist als 520 °C (Anspruch 3). Vielmehr kann eine Umformtemperatur zwischen 420 °C und 480 °C für die Umformung des Halbzeugs ausreichen (Anspruch 4). Eine Umformung bei zu niedriger Temperatur kann eine nicht abgebaute Versetzungsdichte verursachen, die bei der nachfolgenden Erwärmung auf die Schmiedetemperatur zu einer unkontrollierten und unerwünschten Grobkornbildung durch Rekristallisationsvorgänge führt.While raw parts during hot forging to a temperature above the Recrystallization temperature to be heated, so that no permanent solidification workpiece material occurs, it is sufficient for the production of a pre-forging made of aluminum that the forming temperature is lower than 520 ° C (claim 3). Rather, a forming temperature between 420 ° C and 480 ° C for forming the semi-finished product are sufficient (claim 4). A Forming at too low a temperature can result in a non-degraded dislocation density cause the subsequent heating to the Forging temperature to an uncontrolled and undesirable coarse grain formation through recrystallization processes.
Nach Anspruch 5 wird das erste Ende des vorgeformten Halbzeugs vor dem
Schmiedevorgang in einem zweiten Umformwerkzeug ein weiteres Mal gestaucht.
Dies kann insbesondere dann von Vorteil sein, wenn die vom ersten
Stempel aufgebrachten Kräfte zum Aufstauchen ein bestimmtes Maß nicht
überschreiten dürfen, damit Material nicht unkontrolliert in die Abzweigung der
Gravur fließt, sondern erst durch den Fließpressvorgang durch den zweiten
Stempel kontrolliert in die Abzweigung eingebracht wird. Ein zweites Umformwerkzeug
ermöglicht somit eine noch endformnähere Konturgebung des Vorschmiedestücks.According to
Um eine bleibende Verfestigung des Werkstückwerkstoffs zu verhindern, ist
gemäß Anspruch 6 vorgesehen, das Vorschmiedestück vor dem Schmiedevorgang
auf eine Schmiedetemperatur zu erwärmen, die zweckmäßig oberhalb
der Rekristallisationstemperatur erwärmt wird. Hier sind etwa 520 °C zweckmäßig
(Anspruch 7).To prevent permanent hardening of the workpiece material
provided according to
Das vorstehend geschilderte Verfahren eignet sich für die Herstellung unterschiedlich konfigurierter Achselemente, insbesondere aber für die Herstellung von Schwenklagern (Anspruch 8).The method described above is suitable for the production differently configured axis elements, but especially for manufacturing of pivot bearings (claim 8).

This semi-finished product 1 is shown in a not shown Production step heated to a temperature of 450 ° C and then reshaped in two steps.
Der erste Fertigungsschritt ist ein Aufstauchen des ersten Endes 2 des Halbzeugs

Halbzeugs 1 annähernd doppelt so groß ist. Die verbleibende ungestauchte
Länge L2 des Halbzeugs 1 beträgt etwas mehr als die Hälfte der Ausgangslänge
L1 des ungestauchten Halbzeugs 1.The first manufacturing step is an upsetting of the
Das Aufstauchen des Halbzeugs 1 erfolgt in einem Umformwerkzeug 3 gemäß
Figur 5. Hierzu wird das Halbzeug 1 in eine Gravur 4 des Umformwerkzeugs 3
eingelegt und von dem Umformwerkzeug 3 umschlossen. Ein erster Stempel 5
