Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for connecting an electrode of a spark plug with a noble metal according to the closer defined in the preamble of claim 1.
- Spark plugs having an electrode such as e.g. A center electrode in which the forward end of the center electrode is provided with a noble metal tip or in which a noble metal is circumferentially disposed in a region has been known for some time from the prior art.
- the EP 0 637 113 B1 describes a spark plug having a center electrode having a heat and erosion resistant nickel alloy, the forward end of the center electrode being formed with a noble metal tip of iridium or ruthenium.
- the nickel alloy has a thermal conductivity of about 30 Wm -1 K -1 or greater.
- the noble metal tip has a disk-like shape and is concentrically arranged at the front end of the electrode metal.
- laser beams are applied to a noble metal tip / front end interface of the electrode metal, with the noble metal tip pressed against the front end of the electrode metal, whereupon the noble metal is to be deposited, with a corresponding force.
- EP 0 575 163 B1 describes the welding of a noble metal chip on a center electrode of a spark plug, wherein the weld is at the periphery of the interface between the noble metal leaflets and the end surface of the center electrode.
- a YAG laser is used for welding.
- the EP 0 691174 A1 to derive a method in which a noble metal wire is applied to an electrode body by means of a pulsed or a continuous laser beam, wherein the noble metal wire is completely melted.
- the material to be fastened to one another ie the electrode and the noble metal, is melted and solidified intermittently. This means that no continuous melt pool is generated.
- a nickel alloy is used as the material for the electrode. Connecting by means of a pulsed laser beam produces unwanted, nickel-rich and thus less resistant to erosion and corrosion alloy areas.
- the proposed method for bonding an electrode of a spark plug to a noble metal wherein the noble metal is locally connected to a generated by a continuous laser beam heat input to the electrode in a connection region, wherein the laser beam (3) is directed to the connection region, and wherein Noble metal is not completely, but only in the connection area is melted, in contrast the advantage that the surface irregularities are reduced.
- the service life of the component during operation can be increased since such weak points can be avoided or at least minimized.
- connection partners in the contact zone avoids the solidification cracks which are known when using pulsed laser beams, the corrosion attack along these cracks is also avoided, thus preventing a premature failure of the connection. This is particularly important when using the spark plugs in the engine area.
- the heating and cooling rate of the melt zone region can be adjusted to the particular materials and the type of compound desired, thereby also achieving a particular phase composition in the bond region.
- a further advantage of the invention is that the spectrum of melt zone geometries achievable with a continuous laser beam is much wider than is the case with a pulsed laser.
- the precious metal insert is applied circumferentially over a certain width like a ribbon on the electrode.
- Such produced electrodes are used for example in so-called Gleitfunkenkerzen or Heilgleitfunkenkerzen.
- the precious metal insert is applied to an end face of the center electrode.
- the noble metal insert When applying the noble metal insert on the front side of the center electrode, the noble metal part is not completely melted, but only in their connection area.
- a spark plug electrode is provided with a tip of wear-resistant precious metal.
- a diode laser can be used in addition to a Nd: YAG or CO2 laser.
- FIG. 1 a schematic representation of a bonding method in which a noble metal is supplied to an electrode as a wire material
- FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B in each case a schematic representation of a method step of a method according to the invention for connecting an electrode to a noble metal insert in the manner of a roof electrode.
- FIG. 1 For example, a single-stage coating process of an electrode, ie, a method of bonding a spark plug electrode 1 to a noble metal 2, is shown.
- noble metal 2 according to the present invention, a pure noble metal or any noble metal alloy can be understood, which is suitable for the particular application.
- FIG. 1 shows in particular a section through the spark plug electrode 1, which here represents a center electrode which is filled in the region of a prefabricated groove 6 with a molten precious metal 2 and for example finds application in a Gleitfunkenkerze or Heilgleitfunkenkerze.
- the section through the center electrode 1 according to FIG. 1 is carried out along the groove 6.
- a continuous laser 3 is used, wherein, for example, a Nd: YAG or a CO2 or diode laser can be used.
- a diode laser is particularly suitable since it is significantly more advantageous in terms of investment and operating costs than an Nd: YAG or CO2 laser today.
- the noble metal 2 which may be platinum here, for example, is permanently supplied according to the preferred embodiment shown as a wire material and melted with the continuous laser beam 3 in the region of the prefabricated groove 6 on the center electrode 1 and filled as a melt 5 in the groove 6, so that the noble metal 2 is wound on the electrode 1 as it were.
- the base material of the center electrode 1 is also melted, and an alloy of a small proportion of the melted base material of the center electrode 1 and of the material of the noble metal wire 2 is formed.
- the heating and cooling rate can be adjusted, whereby the cracking in the melting zone and the electrode base material is further prevented or minimized. It is also possible by the variation of the heating and cooling rate, a wide variation in alloy compositions.
- FIGS. 2A and 2B Now is a manufacturing process for a further type of electrode, namely a so-called roof electrode shown.
- a continuously operating laser beam (continuous wave or CW laser), preferably a Nd: YAG laser, is used to weld the connection between the noble metal 2 and the nickel alloy of the electrode 1 '.
- a part of precious metal 2 preferably in a cylindrical shape, on a front side of the electrode 1 ', which here represents a center or ground electrode of a spark plug, placed or inserted into a recess 6 thereof.
- the recess 6 in the end face of the electrode 1 ' is preferably formed such that upon insertion of the noble metal part 2, this fixed to the electrode 1' is connected.
- connection partner namely noble metal 2 and spark plug electrode 1 'with a matched to the amount of energy of a CW laser speed in the direction of arrow 7.
- the laser beam 3 is focused on the rotating, to be welded zone and switched on and off according to an energy lamp tuned to the connection partners with respect to the melting point, heat capacity, etc.
- spark plug electrode 1 ' which tip consists of a noble metal 2 or a precious metal alloy, which is permanently connected to the nickel alloy of the electrode 1' via a uniform melting zone.
- the noble metal 2 should not be completely melted, but only in its connection region in such provided with a precious metal electrode 2 1 ', a so-called roof electrode.
