Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine aushärtbare Kupferlegierung als Werkstoff zur Herstellung von Gießformen.The invention relates to a hardenable copper alloy as a material for production of molds.
Das weltweite Ziel, insbesondere der Stahlindustrie, Halbzeug möglichst endabmessungsnah zu gießen, um Warm- und/oder Kaltverformungsschritte einzusparen, hat seit etwa 1980 zu einer Reihe von Entwicklungen, beispielsweise in Ein- und Zweiwalzen-Stranggießverfahren geführt.The worldwide goal, especially the steel industry, semi-finished products as possible pour close to the final dimensions for hot and / or cold forming steps Saving has led to a number of developments since about 1980, for example in Single and two-roll continuous casting process.
Bei diesen Gießverfahren treten an den wassergekühlten Walzen oder Rollen beim Gießen von Stahllegierungen, Nickel, Kupfer sowie Legierungen, die sich nur schwer warm walzen lassen, im Eingießbereich der Schmelze sehr hohe Oberflächentemperaturen auf. Diese liegen z.B. beim endabmessungsnahen Gießen einer Stahllegierung bei 350°C bis 450°C, wobei die Gießwalzenmäntel einen CuCrZr-Werkstoff mit einer elektrischen Leitfähigkeit von 48 Sm/mm2 und einer Wärmeleitfähigkeit von etwa 320 W/mK aufweisen. Werkstoffe auf CuCrZr-Basis wurden bisher vornehmlich für thermisch hoch beanspruchte Stranggießkokillen und Gießräder eingesetzt. Die Oberflächentemperatur fällt bei diesen Werkstoffen durch die Kühlung der Gießwalzen zyklisch bei jeder Umdrehung kurz vor dem Eingießbereich auf etwa 150 °C bis 200 °C ab. Auf der gekühlten Rückseite der Gießwalzen bleibt sie dagegen während des Umlaufs weitgehend konstant bei etwa 30 °C bis 40 °C. Der Temperaturgradient zwischen Oberfläche und Rückseite in Kombination mit der zyklischen Änderung der Oberflächentemperatur der Gießwalzen bewirkt thermische Spannungen im Oberflächenbereich des Mantelwerkstoffs.With these casting processes, very high surface temperatures occur on the water-cooled rolls or rolls when casting steel alloys, nickel, copper and alloys that are difficult to hot-roll in the pouring area of the melt. These lie, for example, when casting a steel alloy close to the final dimensions at 350 ° C to 450 ° C, the casting roll shells having a CuCrZr material with an electrical conductivity of 48 Sm / mm 2 and a thermal conductivity of about 320 W / mK. CuCrZr-based materials have so far been used primarily for thermally highly stressed continuous casting molds and casting wheels. With these materials, the surface temperature of these materials drops cyclically to about 150 ° C to 200 ° C with every revolution just before the pouring area. On the cooled back of the casting rolls, however, it remains largely constant at around 30 ° C to 40 ° C during circulation. The temperature gradient between the surface and the back in combination with the cyclical change in the surface temperature of the casting rolls causes thermal stresses in the surface area of the jacket material.
Gemäß Untersuchungen des Ermüdungsverhaltens an dem bisher verwendeten CuCrZr-Werkstoff bei verschiedenen Temperaturen mit einer Dehnungsamplitude von ± 0,3 % und einer Frequenz von 0,5 Hertz - diese Parameter entsprechen etwa einer Umdrehungsgeschwindigkeit der Gießwalzen von 30 U/min - ist beispielsweise bei einer maximalen Oberflächentemperatur von 400 °C, entsprechend einer Wanddicke von 25 mm oberhalb der Wasserkühlung, im günstigsten Fall eine Lebensdauer von 3000 Zyklen bis zur Rißbildung zu erwarten. Die Gießwalzen müssen daher bereits nach einer relativ kurzen Betriebszeit von etwa 100 Minuten zwecks Beseitigung von Oberflächenrissen nachgearbeitet werden. Die Standzeit zwischen den Nacharbeiten ist dabei unter anderem wesentlich von der Wirksamkeit der Schmier-/Trennmittel an der Gießfläche, der konstruktiv und prozeßbedingten Kühlung sowie der Gießgeschwindigkeit abhängig. Für das Auswechseln der Gießwalzen muß die Gießmaschine angehalten und der Gießvorgang unterbrochen werden.According to investigations of the fatigue behavior on the previously used CuCrZr material at different temperatures with an expansion amplitude of ± 0.3% and a frequency of 0.5 Hertz - these parameters correspond approximately a rotation speed of the casting rolls of 30 rpm - is for example at a maximum surface temperature of 400 ° C, corresponding to a Wall thickness of 25 mm above the water cooling, in the best case one Life expectancy of 3000 cycles until cracking. The casting rolls must therefore already after a relatively short operating time of about 100 minutes reworked to remove surface cracks. The service life Between the reworking, among other things, the effectiveness is essential the lubricant / release agent on the casting surface, the design and process-related Cooling and the casting speed dependent. For replacing the Casting rolls must stop the casting machine and interrupt the casting process become.
Ein weiterer Nachteil des bewährten Kokillenwerkstoffs CuCrZr ist die relativ geringe Härte von etwa 110 HBW bis 130 HBW. Bei einem Ein- oder Zweiwalzen-Stranggießverfahren ist es aber nicht vermeidbar, daß bereits vor dem Eingießbereich Stahlspritzer auf die Walzenoberflächen gelangen. Die erstarrten Stahlpartikel werden dann in die relativ weichen Oberflächen der Gießwalzen gedrückt, wodurch die Oberflächenqualität der gegossenen Bänder von etwa 1,5 mm bis 4 mm Dicke erheblich beeinträchtigt wird. Another disadvantage of the proven mold material CuCrZr is the relatively low Hardness from about 110 HBW to 130 HBW. With a one- or two-roll continuous casting process But it is unavoidable that even before Pour the steel splash area onto the roller surfaces. The froze Steel particles are then in the relatively soft surfaces of the casting rolls pressed, resulting in the surface quality of the cast tapes of about 1.5 mm up to 4 mm thickness is significantly impaired.
Auch die geringere elektrische Leitfähigkeit einer bekannten CuNiBe-Legierung mit einem Zusatz von bis zu 1 % Niob führt im Vergleich zu einer CuCrZr-Legierung zu einer höheren Oberflächentemperatur. Da sich die elektrische Leitfähigkeit etwa proportional zur Wärmeleitfähigkeit verhält, wird sich die Oberflächentemperatur im Mantel einer Gießwalze aus der CuNiBe-Legierung im Vergleich zu einer Gießwalze mit einem Mantel aus CuCrZr mit einer maximalen Temperatur von 400 °C an der Oberfläche und 30 °C auf der Rückseite auf etwa 540 °C erhöhen.Also the lower electrical conductivity of a known CuNiBe alloy An addition of up to 1% niobium leads to a CuCrZr alloy a higher surface temperature. Since the electrical conductivity is about behaves proportionally to the thermal conductivity, the surface temperature in the Coating of a casting roll made of the CuNiBe alloy compared to a casting roll with a jacket made of CuCrZr with a maximum temperature of 400 ° C at the Increase the surface and 30 ° C on the back to about 540 ° C.
Ternäre CuNiBe- bzw. CuCoBe-Legierungen weisen zwar grundsätzlich eine Brinellhärte von über 200 HBW auf, jedoch erreicht die elektrische Leitfähigkeit der aus diesen Werkstoffen hergestellten Standard-Halbzeuge, wie beispielsweise Stangen zur Fertigung von Widerstandsschweißelektroden bzw. Blechen und Bändern zur Herstellung von Federn oder Leadframes, allenfalls im Bereich von 26 Sm/mm2 bis etwa 32 Sm/mm2 liegende Werte. Unter optimalen Bedingungen wäre mit diesen Standardwerkstoffen lediglich eine Oberflächentemperatur am Mantel einer Gießwalze von etwa 585 °C zu erreichen.Ternary CuNiBe or CuCoBe alloys generally have a Brinell hardness of over 200 HBW, but the electrical conductivity of the standard semi-finished products made from these materials, such as rods for the production of resistance welding electrodes or sheets and strips for the production of springs or Lead frames, at most values in the range from 26 Sm / mm 2 to approximately 32 Sm / mm 2 . Under optimal conditions, these standard materials would only achieve a surface temperature of around 585 ° C on the surface of a casting roll.
Auch für die aus dem US-Patent 4,179,314 grundsätzlich bekannten CuCoBeZr- bzw. CuNiBeZr-Legierungen ergeben sich keine Hinweise, daß bei gezielter Auswahl der Legierungskomponenten Leitfähigkeitswerte von > 38 Sm/mm2 in Verbindung mit einer Mindesthärte von 200 HBW erreichbar sind.Also for the CuCoBeZr or CuNiBeZr alloys known in principle from US Pat. No. 4,179,314, there are no indications that if the alloy components are specifically selected, conductivity values of> 38 Sm / mm 2 in conjunction with a minimum hardness of 200 HBW can be achieved.
Im Umfang der EP 0 548 636 B1 zählt femer zum Stand der Technik die Verwendung einer aushärtbaren Kupferlegierung aus 1,0 % bis 2,6 % Nickel, das ganz oder teilweise durch Kobalt ersetzt sein kann, 0,1 % bis 0,45 % Beryllium, wahlweise 0,05 % bis 0,25 % Zirkonium und gegebenenfalls bis zu maximal 0,15 % mindestens eines Elements aus der Niob, Tantal, Vanadium, Titan, Chrom, Cer und Hafnium umfassenden Gruppe, Rest Kupfer einschließlich herstellungsbedingter Verunreinigungen und üblicher Verarbeitungszusätze mit einer Brinellhärte von mindestens 200 HBW und einer elektrischen Leitfähigkeit über 38 Sm/mm2 als Werkstoff zur Herstellung von Gießwalzen und Gießrädern.Within the scope of EP 0 548 636 B1, the state of the art also includes the use of a hardenable copper alloy made from 1.0% to 2.6% nickel, which can be replaced in whole or in part by cobalt, 0.1% to 0.45% Beryllium, optionally 0.05% to 0.25% zirconium and optionally up to a maximum of 0.15% of at least one element from the group comprising niobium, tantalum, vanadium, titanium, chromium, cerium and hafnium, the rest of copper including production-related impurities and more Processing additives with a Brinell hardness of at least 200 HBW and an electrical conductivity above 38 Sm / mm 2 as a material for the production of casting rolls and casting wheels.
Legierungen mit diesen Zusammensetzungen, wie beispielsweise die Legierungen CuCo2Be0,5 oder CuNi2Be0,5 weisen aufgrund des . relativ hohen Legierungselementgehaltes Nachteile in der Warmumformbarkeit auf. Es sind jedoch hohe Warmumformgrade erforderlich, um, ausgehend vom grobkörnigen Gußgefüge mit mehreren Millimetern Korngröße, ein feinkörnigeres Erzeugnis mit einer Korngröße < 1,5 mm (nach ASTM E 112) zu erreichen. Insbesondere für großformatige Gießwalzen sind bislang nur mit sehr hohem Aufwand genügend große Gußblöcke mit ausreichender Qualität herstellbar; kaum verfügbar sind jedoch technische Umformeinrichtungen, um mit einem vertretbaren Aufwand eine ausreichend hohe Warmdurchknetung zur Umkristallisation des Gußgefüges in ein Feinkorngefüge zu realisieren.Alloys with these compositions, such as the alloys CuCo2Be0.5 or CuNi2Be0.5 have due to the. relatively high Alloy element content disadvantages in hot formability. However, there are high degrees of hot forming are required, based on the coarse-grained cast structure with a grain size of several millimeters, a more fine-grained product with a Grain size <1.5 mm (according to ASTM E 112). Especially for Large-format casting rolls have so far been sufficient only with very great effort large cast blocks can be produced with sufficient quality; are hardly available, however technical forming equipment, with a reasonable effort sufficiently high hot kneading to recrystallize the casting structure in one Realize fine grain structure.
Der Erfindung liegt - ausgehend vom Stand der Technik - die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine aushärtbare Kupferlegierung als Werkstoff zur Herstellung von Gießformen zu schaffen, welche auch bei hohen Gießgeschwindigkeiten gegenüber wechselnden Temperaturbeanspruchungen unempfindlich ist bzw. die eine hohe Ermüdungsbeständigkeit bei der Arbeitstemperatur für eine Gießform aufweist.Starting from the prior art, the invention is based on the object a hardenable copper alloy as a material for the production of casting molds create which even at high casting speeds compared to changing Temperature stress is insensitive or high Fatigue resistance at working temperature for a mold.
Diese Aufgabe wird mit den im Patentanspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmalen gelöst.This object is achieved with the features specified in claim 1.
Durch die Verwendung einer CuCoBeZr(Mg)-Legierung mit gezielt abgestuftem niedrigem Co- und Be-Gehalt kann einerseits eine noch ausreichende Aushärtbarkeit des Werkstoffs zur Erzielung hoher Festigkeit, Härte und Leitfähigkeit sichergestellt werden. Andererseits sind nur geringe Warmumformgrade zur vollständigen Umkristallisation der Gußstruktur und Einstellung eines feinkörnigen Gefüges mit ausreichender Plastizität erforderlich. By using a CuCoBeZr (Mg) alloy with specifically graded A low Co and Be content can on the one hand still ensure adequate hardenability of the material to achieve high strength, hardness and conductivity become. On the other hand, only low degrees of hot forming are complete Recrystallization of the cast structure and setting of a fine-grained structure with sufficient plasticity required.
Dank eines derart ausgebildeten Werkstoffs für eine Gießform gelingt es, die Gießgeschwindigkeit um mehr als das Doppelte gegenüber der herkömmlichen Gießgeschwindigkeit zu steigern. Außerdem wird eine deutlich verbesserte Oberflächenqualität des abgegossenen Bands erzielt. Auch ist eine erheblich längere Standzeit der Gießform gewährleistet. Unter Gießformen sollen nicht nur stationäre Gießformen, wie z.B. Platten- oder Rohrkokillen, sondern auch mitlaufende Kokillen, wie beispielsweise Gießwalzen verstanden werden.Thanks to such a material for a casting mold, the Casting speed more than twice that of the conventional one Increase casting speed. In addition, a significantly improved Surface quality of the cast strip achieved. It is also a much longer one Tool life guaranteed. Casting molds are not only meant to be stationary Casting molds, e.g. Plate or tube molds, but also moving molds, such as casting rolls can be understood.
Eine weitere Verbesserung der mechanischen Eigenschaften der Gießform, insbesondere eine Erhöhung der Zugfestigkeit, kann nach Patentanspruch 2 vorteilhaft dadurch erzielt werden, daß die Kupferlegierung 0,03 % bis 0,35 % Zirkonium und 0,005 % bis 0,05 % Magnesium enthält.Another improvement in the mechanical properties of the mold, in particular an increase in tensile strength, according to claim 2 can be advantageously achieved in that the copper alloy 0.03% to 0.35% Contains zirconium and 0.005% to 0.05% magnesium.

Insbesondere beträgt nach Patentanspruch 5 dieses Verhältnis von Kobalt zu Beryllium 2,2 bis 5.In particular, according to claim 5, this ratio of cobalt to Beryllium 2.2 to 5.
Die Erfindung läßt es zu, daß entsprechend den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 6 die Kupferlegierung neben Kobalt bis zu 0,6 % Nickel enthält.The invention allows that according to the features of claim 6 the copper alloy contains up to 0.6% nickel in addition to cobalt.

Hierbei kann jeder Mantel mit einer die Wärmedurchlässigkeit reduzierenden Beschichtung versehen sein. Dadurch kann die Produktqualität des abgegossenen Bands aus einem Nichteisenmetall, insbesondere jedoch aus Aluminium bzw. einer Aluminiumlegierung, noch mehr gesteigert werden. Die Beschichtung wird gezielt aufgrund des Betriebsverhaltens des Mantels aus einer Kupferlegierung bei insbesondere einem Aluminiumband dadurch bewirkt, daß sich zu Beginn eines Abgieß- und Walzvorgangs aus dem Zusammenwirken von Kupfer mit Aluminium auf der Oberfläche des Mantels eine Adhäsionsschicht bildet, aus der dann im weiteren Verlauf des Gießverfahrens Aluminium in die Kupferoberfläche eindringen und dort eine stabile widerstandsfähige Diffusionsschicht ausbilden, deren Dicke und Eigenschaft durch Gießgeschwindigkeit und Kühlbedingungen wesentlich bestimmt sind. Hierdurch wird die Oberflächenqualität des Aluminiumbands verbessert und folglich die Produktqualität deutlich erhöht.Each jacket can have a thermal permeability reducing Coating should be provided. This can affect the product quality of the cast Bands of a non-ferrous metal, but especially of aluminum or one Aluminum alloy, can be increased even more. The coating is targeted due to the operating behavior of the jacket made of a copper alloy causes an aluminum strip in particular that at the beginning of a Casting and rolling process from the interaction of copper with aluminum forms an adhesive layer on the surface of the jacket, from which it is then further developed During the casting process, aluminum penetrate the copper surface and form a stable, resistant diffusion layer there, the thickness and Property largely determined by casting speed and cooling conditions are. This improves and improves the surface quality of the aluminum strip consequently the product quality increased significantly.

(= Querschnitt des Gußblocks / Querschnitt der Preßstange) von 5,6:1 auf einer
Strangpresse bei 950 °C zu Flachstangen verpreßt. Die Legierungen wurden danach
einer mindestens 30minütigen Lösungsglühung oberhalb 850 °C mit nachfolgender
Wasserabschreckung unterzogen und anschließend 2 bis 32 h im Temperaturbereich

Wie den Eigenschaftskombinationen zu entnehmen ist, erreichen die erfindungsgemäßen Legierungen, insbesondere zur Herstellung eines Mantels einer Gießwalze, das angestrebte rekristallisierte Feinkorngefüge mit einer entsprechend guten Bruchdehnung. Bei den Vergleichslegierungen H bis J liegt eine Korngröße über 1,5 mm vor, wodurch die Plastizität des Materials reduziert wird.As can be seen from the combinations of properties, those according to the invention achieve Alloys, in particular for the manufacture of a jacket Casting roller, the desired recrystallized fine grain structure with a corresponding good elongation at break. A grain size lies in the comparison alloys H to J over 1.5 mm, which reduces the plasticity of the material.
Eine zusätzliche Festigkeitssteigerung läßt sich durch Kaltumformung vor der
Aushärtung erreichen. In der nachfolgenden Tabelle 3 sind Eigenschaftskombinationen
zu den Legierungen A bis J wiedergegeben, die durch Lösungsglühen
des gepreßten Materials von mindestens 30 Minuten oberhalb von 850 °C mit
nachfolgender Wasserabschreckung, 10 % bis 15 % Kaltwalzung (Querschnittsreduktion)
und anschließender Aushärtung von 2 bis 32 Stunden im
Temperaturbereich zwischen 400 °C und 550 °C erreicht werden.
Die erfindungsgemäßen Legierungen A bis G zeigen wiederum gute Bruchdehnungen und eine Korngröße unter 0,5 mm, während die Vergleichslegierungen H bis J ein grobes Korn mit einer Korngröße über 1,5 mm und niedrigere Bruchdehnungswerte aufweisen. Somit besitzen diese Kupferlegierungen eindeutige Verarbeitungsvorteile bei der Herstellung von Mänteln, insbesondere für größere Gießwalzen von Zweiwalzengießanlagen, wodurch es möglich wird, ein feinkörniges Endprodukt mit für den Anwendungsbereich optimalen Grundeigenschaften zu erzeugen.Alloys A to G according to the invention again show good elongations at break and a grain size below 0.5 mm, while the comparative alloys H to J a coarse grain with a grain size over 1.5 mm and smaller Have elongation at break values. So these copper alloys have unique Processing advantages in the manufacture of coats, especially for larger ones Casting rolls of two-roll casting machines, which makes it possible to have a fine-grained End product with optimal basic properties for the area of application produce.
