Definitions
- the present invention relates to a cast iron material, in particular piston rings, which have as base body such a cast iron material.
- the present invention relates to a new cast iron material comprising needle-like ferrite with certain proportions of austenite and / or martensite.
- Cast iron materials can be in various microstructures that can be adjusted by using specific composition and / or process parameters.
- the basic structure contains lamellar to nodular graphite precipitates to provide runflat properties.
- a process for producing a pearlitic and / or ferritic cast iron is described in US 3,565,698.
- the starting material is mixed with molten metal in the melt and poured into a blank.
- the blank after annealing is annealed at a temperature in the range of 900 ° C. to 1050 ° C. to dissolve the cementite to produce the black malleable cast iron.
- the annealing time can be reduced by adding sulfur in a significant amount to the starting material.
- Cast iron materials or cast iron alloys are used to produce highly stressed parts of internal combustion engines, such as piston rings.
- Piston rings are subject to an increasing load in highly stressed engines, such as compression pressure, combustion temperature, reduction of lubricating film, which significantly influence their functional properties such as wear, fire resistance, microwelding, and corrosion resistance.
- Piston rings seal the gap between the piston head and the cylinder wall with respect to the combustion chamber.
- the piston ring slides on the one hand with its outer peripheral surface in constant resilient engagement against the cylinder wall, on the other hand slides the piston ring, due to the tilting movements of the piston, oscillating in its piston ring groove, wherein its flanks alternately bear against the upper or lower Nutenilanke the Kolbenringnut.
- sliding against each other occurs depending on the material, a more or less severe wear that can lead to so-called munching, scoring and finally to a destruction of the engine in a dry run.
- Compression rings in highly stressed engines such as diesel engines or 2-stroke diesel engines, for example, preferably as cast piston rings with a tread coating, such as chrome-ceramic coating, PVD layer, thermal spray coating or inlet layer, designed.
- a tread coating such as chrome-ceramic coating, PVD layer, thermal spray coating or inlet layer, designed.

- a spherulitic material is obtained.
- this cast iron material must have a matrix of pearlite with small amounts of ferrite in order to experience optimum heat treatment which improves the mechanical properties of the cast iron material.
- the heat treatment produces a bainitic-austenitic matrix structure, but here there is the disadvantage of softening at higher use temperatures, where the bainitic-austenitic structure transforms into bainitic-fine-pearlitic structures. This effect prevents the use of this material in internal combustion engines, as this essential properties such as the tangential force are adversely affected.
- Object of the present invention is to provide a cast iron material having an increased wear resistance, without the production costs are increased and to provide a piston ring, which has a reduced risk of breakage and increased mechanical-dynamic load, the further functional behavior over long lifetimes guaranteed.
