Description

Die Erfindung betrifft gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1 ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Leichtmetall-Verbundgussteils. Ferner betrifft die Erfindung ein Leichtmetall-Verbundgussteil gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 6.The invention relates according to the preamble of claim 1, a method for producing a light metal composite casting. Furthermore, the invention relates to a light metal composite casting according to the preamble of claim 6.

Verfahren zur Herstellung von Verbundgussteilen sind allgemein bekannt. Beispielsweise beschreibt die DE 101 03 596 A1 die Herstellung eines Kurbelgehäuses einer Brennkraftmaschine, bei welchem Zylinderlaufbuchsen aus einem Graugusswerkstoff mit einem Leichtmetallwerkstoff umgossen werden. Besondere Bedeutung wird der Kontaktschicht zwischen den Verbundwerkstoffen beigemessen, welche nicht nur durch eine formschlüssige Verbindung, sondern auch durch einen metallischen Werkstoffverbund gekennzeichnet ist.Methods of making composite castings are well known. For example, this describes DE 101 03 596 A1 the production of a crankcase of an internal combustion engine, in which cylinder liners are cast from a cast iron material with a light metal material. Particular importance is attached to the contact layer between the composite materials, which is characterized not only by a positive connection, but also by a metallic composite material.

Aus DE-A-197 46 167 ist ein Leichtmetallbauteil aus Magnesium-Druckguß bekannt, bei dem in einem Anbaubereich eine Gewindebuchse aus gehärtetem Aluminium beim Gießen des Leichtmetallbauteiles von diesem teilweise umschlossen ist. Aus DE-A-197 46 167 ist bekannt, die Einlegeteile zu beschichten, um eine Erhöhung der Haftung zwischen Einlegeteil und Gussmaterial zu bewirken.Out DE-A-197 46 167 a light metal component of magnesium die-casting is known in which in a growing area a threaded bush made of hardened aluminum during casting of the light metal component is partially enclosed by this. Out DE-A-197 46 167 It is known to coat the inserts in order to increase the adhesion between the insert and the casting material.

Bei Verbundgussteilen, bei welchen ein Ausgangsgussteil aus einem ersten Gusswerkstoff in einem Gießprozess mit einem weiteren Gusswerkstoff verbunden wird, entsteht demgemäss ein Verbund zwischen den Materialien, wobei im Kontaktbereich eine Verbindungsschicht gebildet wird.In composite castings, in which an output casting of a first casting material in a casting process with another casting material Accordingly, a bond between the materials is formed, wherein in the contact region, a bonding layer is formed.

Insbesondere falls es sich bei den Materialien um Leichtmetalllegierungen, beispielsweise auf Aluminium- oder Magnesiumbasis, handelt, kommt es während des Gießprozesses temperaturbedingt zu einer Reaktion an der Oberfläche des Ausgangsteils; es entsteht eine Verbindungsschicht, die aus einer Kombination der beiden Materialien besteht.In particular, if the materials are light alloys, for example based on aluminum or magnesium, a temperature-related reaction occurs on the surface of the starting part during the casting process; The result is a bonding layer, which consists of a combination of the two materials.

Derartige Materialien auf Aluminium- oder Magnesiumbasis bilden eine Verbindungsschicht, welche einen hohen Anteil an spröden Magnesium-Phasen, beispielsweise Al12Mg17, enthält; diese Phasen bewirken nachteiligerweise eine geringe mechanische Belastbarkeit der Verbindungsschicht.Such aluminum- or magnesium-based materials form a tie layer containing a high proportion of brittle magnesium phases, for example Al12Mg17; These phases disadvantageously cause a low mechanical strength of the connecting layer.

Des weiteren kommt es, insbesondere falls es sich bei einem der Gusswerkstoffe um eine übereutektische Aluminiumlegierung, wie AlSi17Cu4Mg, handelt, bei Verbundgussteilen zu einer verstärkten Rissneigung, so dass aufgrund thermischer und/oder mechanischer Beanspruchungen am Übergang bzw. in der Verbindungsschicht ausgehend von den dort vorhandenen kantigen Si-Partikel Risse entstehen, die den werkstofflichen Verbund zerstören.Furthermore, in particular if one of the cast materials is a hypereutectic aluminum alloy, such as AlSi17Cu4Mg, in the case of composite cast parts an increased tendency to crack occurs, so that, due to thermal and / or mechanical stresses at the transition or in the connecting layer, starting from there existing edged Si particles cracks, which destroy the composite material.

Zwischen den Leichtmetalllegierungen soll eine isolierende, duktile Zwischenschicht gebildet werden, welche zum einen eine ausreichende Festigkeit sowie eine ausreichende Streckengrenze besitzt, um Spannungen zwischen den beiden Verbundmaterialien durch plastische Deformation auszugleichen und zum anderen eine Rissinitiierung beispielsweise an scharfkantigen Silizium-Partikeln einer Aluminiumlegierung und eine Rissfortsetzung durch spröde Phasen einer Magnesiumlegierung durch eine Trennung der Si-Partikel von den Magnesium-Phasen verhindert.Between the light metal alloys an insulating, ductile intermediate layer should be formed, which on the one hand sufficient Strength and a sufficient line limit has to compensate for stresses between the two composite materials by plastic deformation and on the other a crack initiation, for example, on sharp aluminum particles of an aluminum alloy and crack propagation through brittle phases of a magnesium alloy by a separation of the Si particles from the magnesium phases prevented.

Ferner soll ein Leichtmetall-Verbundgussteil umfassend eine erste Leichtmetalllegierung, insbesondere eine Aluminiumlegierung, sowie eine mit dieser verbundene zweite Leichtmetalllegierung, insbesondere eine Magnesiumlegierung, bereitgestellt werden, welches im Verbindungsbereich zwischen den Leichtmetalllegierungen eine derartige Zwischenschicht aufweist.Furthermore, a light metal composite casting comprising a first light metal alloy, in particular an aluminum alloy, as well as a second light metal alloy connected thereto, in particular a magnesium alloy, is to be provided, which has such an intermediate layer in the connection region between the light metal alloys.

In Hinblick auf das Leichtmetall-Verbundgussteil wird die Aufgabe gemäß den Merkmalen des Anspruch 6 gelöst, wobei eine duktile, plastisch deformierbare Zwischenschicht zwischen erster und zweiter Leichtmetallegierung gebildet ist.With regard to the light metal composite casting, the object is achieved according to the features of claim 6, wherein a ductile, plastically deformable intermediate layer between the first and second light metal alloy is formed.

Diese Ausgangsteil, welches durchaus auch mehrteilig sein kann und gegebenenfalls außenseitig mit einem beispielsweise waffelartigen Strukturmuster versehen ist, wird in einem folgenden Arbeitsgang oberflächenbehandelt. Gemäß der vorliegend beschriebenen Weiterbildung des Verfahrens wird eine mechanische Strahlbehandlung mit einem Strahlmittel wie Korund durchgeführt. Alternativ oder zusätzlich können jedoch auch andere bzw. weitere beispielsweise auch chemische Oberflächenbehandlungen durchgeführt werden.This output part, which may well be in several parts and optionally provided on the outside with an example waffle-like structure pattern is surface-treated in a subsequent operation.

Die Beschichtung ist mit dem Ausgangsteil primär mechanisch aufgrund von Verbindungen im Mikrobereich verbunden und weist zumindest außenseitig eine poröse Struktur auf; die Beschichtung weist eine Dicke von ca. 10 bis 500 µm, insbesondere von ca. 100 bis 140 µm, auf.The coating is primarily mechanically connected to the output part due to micro-region connections and at least on the outside has a porous structure; The coating has a thickness of about 10 to 500 .mu.m, in particular from about 100 to 140 .mu.m.

Das beschichtete Ausgangsteil wird zur Vermeidung von Rissen und um eine bessere Anbindung des nachfolgend aufzubringenden Magnesiumgusses zu gewährleisten, auf eine Temperatur von ca. 400 bis 550°C, insbesondere auf ca. 480°C, vorgewärmt.The coated starting part is preheated to a temperature of about 400 to 550 ° C, in particular to about 480 ° C, to avoid cracks and to ensure a better connection of the subsequently applied magnesium casting.

Die Verbindung des beschichteten Ausgangsteils erfolgt in einem Gusswerkzeug, in welches das Ausgangsteil eingelegt wird, wobei zwischen Werkzeug und Ausgangsteil ein oder mehrere Formräume gebildet sind, in welche ein schmelzflüssiger Gusswerkstoff eingebracht wird. Das Ausgangsteils kann dabei Stellenweise an der Werkzeugwand anliegend und/oder mittel auflösbarer Kernelemente gehalten sein.The connection of the coated starting part takes place in a casting tool, in which the output part is inserted, wherein between the tool and the output part one or more mold spaces are formed, in which a molten casting material is introduced.

Vorliegend wir das beschichtete Ausgangsteil mit einer schmelzflüssigen Magnesiumlegierung, wie MgAl6Sr2 mit der Bezeichnung AJ62, im Gießprozess bei einer Temperatur von ca. 600 bis 800°C, insbesondere bei ca. 680°C bis 720°C und unter einem Druck von ca. 500 bis 1200 bar, insbesondere ca. 850 bis 900 bar, verbunden, wobei die schmelzflüssige Magnesiumlegierung sich sehr vorteilhaft mit der porösen Beschichtung verbindet und die Beschichtung zugleich unter dem hohen Druck auf ca. 70 bis 90%, insbesondere auf ca. 80%, ihrer ursprünglichen Dicke komprimiert wird. Temperatur- und Druckbedingt entsteht zwischen der Magnesiumlegierung und dem beschichteten Ausgangsteil eine stoffschlüssige Verbindung.In the present case, the coated starting part with a molten magnesium alloy, such as MgAl6Sr2 with the designation AJ62, in the casting process at a temperature of about 600 to 800 ° C, especially at about 680 ° C to 720 ° C and under a pressure of about 500 up to 1200 bar, in particular about 850 to 900 bar connected, wherein the molten magnesium alloy combines very beneficial with the porous coating and the coating at the same time under the high pressure to about 70 to 90%, in particular to about 80% of their original thickness is compressed.

Ein Schliffbild 100 eines gegossenen Ausgangsteiles 102 aus der Aluminiumlegierung AlSi17Cu4Mg mit der Bezeichnung A390, welches in Vorbereitung für eine gießtechnische Verbindung mit einer Leichtmetalllegierung bereits mit einer Beschichtung 104 aus AlSi12 versehen ist, ist in Fig. 1 dargestellt. Deutlich erkennbar sind Cu-Phasen 110 sowie Si-Primärkristalle 108 in der Aluminiumlegierung 102, wohingegen die Beschichtung 104 eine wesentlich feinere, poröse Struktur aufweist.A micrograph 100 of a cast aluminum alloy AlSi17Cu4Mg starting component 102, designated A390, which is already provided with a AlSi12 coating 104 in preparation for a casting connection with a light metal alloy, is disclosed in US Pat Fig. 1 shown.

Fig. 2 zeigt ein Schliffbild eines Leichtmetall-Verbundgussteiles 200 aus der übereutektischen Aluminiumlegierung AlSi17Cu4Mg mit der Bezeichnung A390 und der Magnesiumlegierung MgAl6Sr2 mit der Bezeichnung AJ62 mit Zwischenschicht. Erkennbar ist, wie die schmelzflüssige Magnesiumlegierung 206 in die poröse Beschichtung eingedrungen ist (212) und unter Druck die Zwischenschicht 204 gebildet wurde. Die Zwischenschicht 204 ist gegenüber der ursprünglichen porösen Beschichtung komprimiert, wobei die Magnesiumlegierung 206 und die Zwischenschicht 204 stoffschlüssig miteinander verbunden sind. Der Übergang von der Zwischenschicht 204 zur Aluminiumlegierung 202 des Ausgangsteiles ist wesentlich weniger fließend, was den eher formschlüssigen Charakter dieser Verbindung zeigt. Fig. 2 shows a micrograph of a composite aluminum casting 200 from the hypereutectic aluminum alloy AlSi17Cu4Mg A390 and the magnesium alloy MgAl6Sr2 with the name AJ62 with intermediate layer. It can be seen how the molten magnesium alloy 206 has penetrated into the porous coating (212) and under pressure, the intermediate layer 204 has been formed.
