Definitions
- the present invention relates to a tool comprising a partial area, which consists of a plastic, in which a material with sliding properties is embedded.
- Tools made of steel or gray cast iron are conventionally used in forming processes, for example in deep drawing.
- at least partially plastic forming tools have become known, which are used for certain applications, e.g. B. come into consideration for small series.
- DE 199 00 597 A1 describes a sheet metal forming tool and a method for its production, in which the tool is produced from layers of plastic films which are glued one after the other.
- Plastic powder can also be filled in layers in a work area and then sintered using a laser beam.
- the methods described in this document are relatively complex on the one hand and, moreover, such tools can only be used for the forming of workpieces which are produced in small series with a limited number of production pieces.
- the object of the present invention is to create a tool consisting of an alternative material with advantageous properties compared to conventional tools.
- the tool is a forming tool and is made of plastic
- the existing section, in which a material with sliding properties is embedded in the plastic is a forming area of the tool.
- Said partial area of the tool consisting of a plastic, in which a material with sliding properties is embedded preferably comprises a front layer of the tool.
- This part of the tool can contain graphite, for example, as a material with sliding properties.
- the plastic of the tool preferably contains graphite powder in this partial region, in particular graphite powder with a grain size of between approximately 50 and approximately 250 ⁇ m.
- the thickness of said front layer in the forming area of the tool, in which the plastic contains a material with sliding properties is preferably at least about 5 mm. For example, the thickness of this front layer is in a range between approximately 5 and approximately 15 mm.
- a preferred development of the task solution according to the invention provides that not only the forming area of the tool is made of plastic, but that the tool also has a rear structure consisting essentially of plastic.
- the entire tool can accordingly consist of plastic, but only the sub-area forming the forming area has to consist of a plastic in which a material with sliding properties is embedded.
- a cheaper material can be used for the rear triangle.
- the rear of the tool preferably consists of a plastic containing a filler. Fillers such. As aluminum and / or cast iron and / or sand, preferably in powder form.
- the rear triangle thus consists of a material that has sufficient pressure resistance.
- the rear triangle can consist, for example, of full casting, including the plastic and the filler or fillers.
- the front layer of the tool which serves as the forming area, has, on the one hand, increased pressure resistance in the areas which come into contact with the workpiece to be formed, whereby the incorporated material with sliding properties also provides the slidability in the area of the contact surface. It is quasi in the forming area, i. That is, a self-lubricating effect is achieved in the area of the front surface of the tool, through which the use of conventional lubricants can be completely or largely eliminated.
- the production of deep-drawing tools is preferred.
- These can be stamps, sheet metal holders or dies, for example, especially for deep-drawing metal parts.
- the deep-drawing tools according to the invention are particularly suitable for forming metal parts such. B. for automotive or aircraft construction. By storing the material with sliding properties, it is prevented that z. B. a metal sheet, which is stressed in a pulling direction perpendicular to the direction of movement of the deep-drawing tool, particles, in particular filler particles, are torn out of the plastic matrix and cracks thereby arise in the tool.
- plastic tools made from the materials according to the invention compared to conventional steel tools lie in the material costs, for example, which are up to about 70% lower.
- the plastics used for the production of the tools are easier to process and as a result the mechanical use in the production of the tools is lower.
- the energy and power requirements in machine work for the manufacture of the tools can be z. B. reduce by 65%.
- the training period is also up to 60% shorter, for example, than with steel tools.
- the use of plastics according to the invention for the manufacture of the tools leads to a considerable weight reduction of, for example, up to 60% and thus to a lower load on the crane systems.
- the tools can be changed more flexibly and cost-effectively, which in turn saves a lot of money, time and energy.
- the tools are also suitable for recycling since they can be completely reused as fillers for the production of new plastic tools, which means that there are no disposal costs.
- the elastic behavior of the plastics leads to an increase in the quality of the formed workpieces.
- Embedding graphite in the plastic of the tools creates a self-lubricating effect on the contact layers of the tool. If it is still necessary to use liquid lubricants during the forming process, then the amount of lubricants required can be reduced significantly, for example by approx. 3 g / m 2 .
- the friction conditions during deep drawing are improved by introducing graphite powder into the plastic.
- the elimination or reduction of liquid lubricants during deep drawing significantly reduces pollution in the work area and thus relieves the environment.
- the preferred modular design of the plastic tools according to the invention comprising the front layer (forming area) and the rear structure, enables a large proportion of the tools to be reused.
- the material with sliding properties into the front layer and the resulting (largely) elimination of liquid lubricants, there is usually no need to degrease the finished drawn parts.
- FIG. 1 shows a highly schematically simplified perspective illustration for explaining a deep-drawing process by means of a tool according to the invention
- FIG. 2 shows a second schematically simplified view in section to explain the deep-drawing process
- FIG. 3 shows a schematically simplified perspective view of a tool according to the invention installed in a deep-drawing device
- Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a finished part, which was deep-drawn using a tool according to the invention.
- FIG. 1 shows a highly schematically simplified perspective illustration of an arrangement of tools for deep-drawing a sheet metal part 10.
- An upper tool part 8 is provided for forming the sheet metal part 10 in the deep-drawing process, and a corresponding lower tool part 9 in the form of a die receiving the upper tool part 8.
- the upper tool part 8 consists of a rear structure 12 made of plastic and a front layer 11 forming the forming area, which also consists of plastic, but a graphite powder 7 is embedded in this plastic to achieve a self-lubricating effect when the sheet metal part 10 is formed.
- the plastic forming the rear end 12 of the tool usually also contains fillers, but these can be conventional fillers in order to impart certain desired properties to the tool, for example in order to ensure sufficient pressure resistance of the rear end 12.
- the lower tool part 9 is also made of plastic, whereby a conventional plastic can also be used here, provided that it does not concern the forming areas. However, it is recommended that those areas, which come into contact with the sheet 10 to be deep-drawn during the forming process, also made of a plastic with the lower part 9 of the tool to produce stored sliding material. This is specified in more detail below with reference to FIG. 2, which illustrates the forces acting during the deep-drawing process in a schematically simplified illustration.
- Figure 2 shows the position of a sheet metal part 10 between the front layers 11 of an upper tool part 8 and a lower tool part 9.
- the plastic front layers 11 contain embedded graphite powder 7 to achieve the sliding effect.
- the arrow indicates that during the deep-drawing process a shear force acts on the sheet 10 as well as on the front surfaces of the two tools, which acts in principle perpendicular to the direction of movement of the tools.
- This stress on shear between the sheet 10 and the front layers 11 of the upper tool part 8 or lower tool part 9, each provided with embedded graphite results in a sliding effect which is due to the lubricating properties of the graphite. This eliminates the use of a liquid lubricant. It was also found that the inclusion of the graphite in the respective front layers 11 of the tools also increases their compressive strength at the contact surface.
- FIG. 3 shows a more detailed perspective view of a detail from a deep-drawing device, in which one recognizes the plastic rear end 12 of the tool, which is attached to an upper plate 20 of the device, which is lowered during the deep-drawing process. This lowering of the plate 20 and the tool made of plastic takes place in a tool guide 14 of the device, which will not be explained in more detail here.
- the front layer 11 of the tool which is also made of plastic and provided with graphite inclusions, and the sheet metal holder 13 of the device underneath it can be seen.
- FIG. 4 shows a perspective view of a metal part which was deep-drawn from a metal sheet using a tool of the type according to the invention.
- This is a shielding plate 15 for a motor vehicle.
- points the shielding plate 15 after the shaping process has convex areas 18 and concave areas 19.
- the shielding plate 15 also has various punched-out areas 16 and forming areas introduced in the deep-drawing process, for example the bead-like depression 17 that can be seen in the drawing. It was found that metal parts of this type can be deep-drawn in excellent quality.
