Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a card clothing wire having a foot portion and having teeth.
  • the teeth each have a front surface and other surfaces.
  • Carding is a process of opening and cleaning fibers.
  • the carding process separates fibers from each other, lays them parallel and condenses them into singular untwisted bunches or strands.
  • the carding process can be done by hand or by machines. If done by means of machines, the working components are formed either by needles or by saw toothed steel wires.
  • the present invention relates to such a saw toothed steel wire or card clothing wire.
  • Card clothing wires are present in various types of geometry depending upon the eventual application. The tolerances on particularly the teeth of the card clothing wire are limited in order to guarantee a qualitative carding process. During the carding process, however, the card clothing wire is subject to severe abrasion.
  • Abrasion of small particles, even the smallest, from the teeth of the card clothing wire must be avoided not only because of the proper functioning of the carding process but also because a number of critical applications, such as cotton yarns for the medical industry do not tolerate particles present between the cotton fibers.
  • a card clothing wire having a foot portion and having teeth.
  • the teeth each have a front surface. At least the front surface of the teeth is substantially free from oxides.
  • the terms 'substantially free from oxides' refer to a surface where oxides are only present in amount not exceeding 5% of the total surface, e.g. not exceeding 3
  • Oxides if present, can be visually or at least optically detected. A picture can be taken of the surface and enlarged in order to quantify the amount of oxide free surface.
  • the front surface of the teeth is the most active surface during carding and is most subject to abrasion. So it is important that the front surface is substantially free of oxides. Preferably, however, the all the other surfaces of the teeth are also substantially free of oxides. The absence of oxides facilitates meeting the narrow tolerances.
  • At least the front surface of the teeth of the card clothing wire has a coating of a diamond-like carbon DLC having an amorphous network of carbon and hydrogen.
  • the other surfaces of the teeth, and possibly other parts of the card clothing wire also have a coating of a diamond-like carbon DLC having an amorphous network of carbon and hydrogen.
  • DLC coatings are a mixture of sp2 and sp3 bonded carbon atoms with a hydrogen concentration between 0 - 80%, e.g. between 10% and 75%.
  • this DLC coating ranges from 0.5 ⁇ m to 10 ⁇ m, e.g. from 1 ⁇ m to 5 ⁇ m.
  • This DLC coating combines the advantages of having a high degree of surface hardness with hardness values above 10 GPa (nano indentation) and a low coefficient of friction with values ranging from 0.10 to 0.20 (dry steel ball on disc test, 10
  • the high hardness increases the resistance against abrasion.
  • the low coefficient of friction may increase the speed of the carding process without harming its quality.
  • the fact that the substrate under the DLC coating is substantially free of oxides is advantageous for the adhesion of the DLC coating to the steel substrate of the teeth.
  • a method of manufacturing a card clothing wire comprises the following steps: a) providing a saw-toothed profiled steel wire having a front surface; b) providing this front surface oxide free.
  • providing the front surface oxide free can be done basically in three different ways: a) removing in a mechanical way; b) removing in a chemical way; c) avoiding the oxides during processing.
  • At least the the front surface of the teeth is coated by a diamond-like carbon having an amorphous network of carbon and hydrogen.
  • FIGURE 1 is perspective and enlarged view of part of a card clothing wire
  • FIGURE 2 is cross-section of part of a tooth of card clothing wire.
  • a card clothing wire can be made as follows.
  • Starting product is a wire rod (usual diameters 5.5 mm or 6.5 mm) with a steel composition along the following lines: a carbon content ranging from 0.30 % to 2.0 %, e.g. from 0.5 to 1.2 %; e.g. from 0.6 to 1.1 %; -A-
  • a silicon content ranging from 0.10 % to 2.5 %, e.g. from
  • a manganese content ranging from 0.10 % to 2.0 %, e.g. from 0.50 to 0.90 %; - a chromium content ranging from 0.0 % to 2.0 %, e.g. from
  • a vanadium content ranging from 0.0 % to 2.0 %, e.g. from
  • 0.05 % to 0.60 % e.g. from 0.10 % to 0.50 %; a tungsten content ranging from 0.0 % to 1.5 %, e.g. from 0.1 % to 0.70 %.
  • compositions either chromium or vanadium is present. In some other compositions both chromium and vanadium are present.
  • the amounts of sulfur and phosphorous are preferably kept as low as possible, e.g. both below 0.05 %, e.g. below 0.025 %.
  • the wire rod is cold and dry drawn until the desired non-round profile is reached. Rolling can be carried out by means of Turks heads or by means of rolls. Drawing can be done by means of profile drawing dies.
  • the profile depends upon the application can be square, rectangular, or take an L-form.
  • the basis leg of the L forms the foot and the top leg of the L will house the eventual teeth.
  • the teeth are formed in the profile wire by means of a laser operation, a cutting operation or a punching operation.
  • the teeth may take various forms and have varying pitches, depending upon the application.
  • the forming of the teeth may be followed by a deburring operation.
  • the formed saw toothed wire is subjected to some heat treatments, which aim at stress-relieving the foot of the saw-toothed wire and at hardening the teeth. Therefore, the entire saw toothed wire is heated until a temperature in the neighborhood of 600 0 C and the teeth get an additional heating until they reach a temperature of about 900 0 C. Thereafter the entire wire is quenched so that the foot is stress relieved and the teeth are hardened since the teeth are subjected to a much greater jump in temperature.
  • the global heating until 600 0 C can be done by means of induction heating or by means of a gas burner.
  • the heating of the teeth until 900 0 C can be done by means of an additional gas burner, or by passing the teeth through a plasma arc or torch.
  • the quenching operation can be done in an oil bath or in a bath of polymers.
  • card clothing wire 10 an example of which is shown in perspective on FIGURE 1. Following parts can be distinguished on a card clothing wire 10: - the foot 12;
  • the surfaces are made oxide free in a mechanical way. This can be done e.g. by post-treatments such as sand blasting, glass blasting, or brushing.
  • the surfaces are made oxide free in a chemical way. This can be done by etching the card clothing wire in HCI or in H 2 SO 4 and carefully rinsing and drying the card clothing wire afterwards.
  • a third alternative is just to avoid the creation and presence of oxides. This can be achieved, e.g. by carrying out the most critical steps of the processing in an oxide free environment, e.g. under a protective gas atmosphere.
  • FIGURE 2 shows schematically a cross-section of a part of a tooth 14 of a card clothing wire 10.
  • the steel front surface 16 is covered by a DLC coating 20.
  • the card clothing wire 10, or at least part of the teeth 14 of the card clothing wire 10, can be covered with a DLC coating by means of a chemical vapor deposition process (CVD) or by means of a plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition process (PACVD).
  • CVD chemical vapor deposition process
  • PSVD plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition process
  • a PACVD process for deposition of DLC mainly occurs as follows.
  • the card clothing wire 10 with the oxide free surfaces is placed in a vacuum chamber.
  • a liquid organic precursor containing the elements C and H in suitable proportions is introduced in the vacuum chamber.
  • a plasma is formed from the introduced precursor by an electron assisted DC- discharge using a filament with a filament current of 50-150 A, a negative filament bias DC voltage of 50-300 V and with a plasma current between 0.1 and 20 A and a composition is deposited on the card clothing wire, to which a negative DC- bias or negative RF self- bias voltage of 200 to 1200 V is applied, in order to attract ions formed in the plasma.
  • the base pressure in the vacuum chamber is 3xlO "7 mbar and the typical working pressure is maintained at IxIO "4 to IxIO "3 mbar by diffusions pumps.
  • the card clothing wire 10 can be cleaned by an in-situ (Ar-) plasma etching process prior to deposition. This plasma etching may last for 3 to 30 minutes.
  • the card clothing wire 10 temperature does generally not exceed 200 °C during the deposition process.
