Definitions

  • the invention relates to a surface compression of a workpiece with at least one toothing made of sintered material.
  • Sintered gear elements such as powder wheels produced by powder metallurgy are used in a wide range. Sintered materials generally have a lower density compared to conventionally forged materials of, for example, steel. From the US2004 / 0177719A1 shows that a gear-shaped green compact is sintered, the sintered workpiece is shot peened in a tooth root and then the gear is calibrated.
  • Object of the present invention is to achieve an improvement of a strength profile of a metal toothed element comprising a sintered material.
  • a surface compression of a workpiece with at least one gearing of sintered material which is surface-compacted by means of a rolling process is proposed, wherein a first surface of the workpiece, an internal gearing is compacted with a different method than a second surface of the workpiece, an external toothing.
  • a first toothing of the workpiece has a different compression than a second toothing of the workpiece.
  • an outer toothing is surface-compacted by means of a rolling process, while a second surface is a bore, which is surface-compacted with another method.
  • a bore in the workpiece receives a hardened surface after surface compacting and is then brought to a final shape.
  • This allows the use of the bore for a shaft or an axle.
  • An improvement in accuracy can be achieved by surface hardening after hardening of the toothing.
  • a preform of the toothed element is produced with a locally selective oversize relative to a final dimension of the toothed element and rolled to the final dimension by means of at least one rolling tool, wherein the Gear element is compressed locally varies at least in the region of at least one flank and / or a foot of a tooth of the toothed element to produce a compacted edge layer on a surface locally.
  • a toothed element is, for example, a toothed wheel, a rack, a cam, a P-rotor, a ring gear, a sprocket or the like.
  • the compacted sintered material is produced in particular by powder metallurgy methods.
  • a metal powder is sintered under pressure in conjunction with a heat treatment.
  • metal powder is injection-molded in conjunction with plastic and in particular sintered under a pressure, preferably with a heat treatment.
  • a sintered mold is used which has at least almost the final dimension of the toothed element to be produced.
  • the preform used is preferably the workpiece resulting directly from the sintering process.
  • at least one further surface treatment step can also be connected downstream.
  • the preform has an allowance, which is to be understood as a difference to a final dimension, wherein the difference is preferably defined pointwise perpendicular to the surface.
  • a rolling tool for example, a roller is used, which is provided with a toothing, which is engageable with the toothing of the toothing element.
  • a rolling tool is in particular rolled under pressure on a surface of the toothed element.
  • two or more such rolling tools are preferably used simultaneously.
  • a gear to be produced can be arranged centrally between two rolling tools.
  • a surface compression of the sintered material of the toothing can be effected.
  • such a manufacturing method starts, for example Takeya et al, "Surface Rolling of Sintered Gears", SAE 1982 World Congress, Technical Paper 820234 or. Also from DE 33 250 37 , out U.S.
  • a first rolling tool can be used under a first pressure substantially for rough contour rolling and then a second rolling tool under a second pressure to achieve the targeted surface densification.

  • a highly stressable sintered toothing is preferably provided with a locally variable and load-adapted density profile.
  • the density profile can have a greater degree of density over a larger area, in particular in the areas subject to higher stress, in comparison to areas of lesser load which are directly adjacent to one another.
  • the respective differently densified edge layer is co-produced via a different allowance along a flank and / or tooth bottom of the preform.
  • a depth of the compacted edge layer in each case viewed perpendicular to the surface, has a maximum of the density approximately at the location of maximum stress. This can, for example, halfway up the Be tooth and steadily decrease to the tooth head and the tooth root to zero.

  • an allowance on a first flank of the tooth is selected differently than on a second flank of the tooth.
  • a force transmission direction is considered in a purpose of use of a toothing element according to the use.

  • a different compression due to a direction of rotation of a rolling tool can be compensated.
  • the oversizes are selected such that after a compression process, an identical compression profile results along the first and second tooth flanks.

  • rotational direction-dependent different loads of the two tooth flanks are taken into account.
  • a requirement-based elasticity and hardness profile is achieved. More preferably, this reduces a noise development, for example in a transmission.
  • a local allowance on a first flank of the tooth is selected larger by at least 10% than an allowance on a second flank of the tooth at the same height.
  • this achieves, for example, that an identical compression course is achieved on the first and the second tooth flank due to different pressurization during compression as a function of the direction of rotation.
  • a different compression course is achieved on the first and the second tooth flank.
  • different maximum densities, their depths as well as their location in relation to the height of the toothing can be set specifically.

  • An oversize may also be negative locally, taking into account, for example, a lateral redistribution of material. A lateral redistribution can be done by flowing material as a result of a rolling process.
  • an at least locally negative oversize can be provided, which lies locally below the final dimension.
  • the negative allowance is preferably at most 100 ⁇ m.

  • the preform and the rolling tool are rolled on each other until a final shaping movement between the toothed element produced thereby and the rolling tool is generated.

In a second step, for example, the sintering process takes place under the action of heat with or without pressure. Preferably thereafter, the dimensional and surface compression takes place by means of rollers.
