Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for rapid cooling of a hot isostatic press according to the preamble of claim 1 and a hot isostatic press according to the preamble of claim 13.
  • Hot isostatic presses or autoclave ovens are used today for a variety of applications.
  • solid workpieces or molding compounds consisting of powder are compacted in a die under high pressure and high temperature. In this case, similar but also different materials can be interconnected.
  • the workpieces are placed in an oven with a heater, which in turn is surrounded by a high pressure vessel.
  • a complete isostatic pressing is performed by the all-round pressure of a fluid or inert gas, usually argon, until the workpieces are optimally compressed.
  • This process is also used to re-densify components, for example, ceramic ones Materials, eg for hip joint prostheses, for aluminum cast components in automotive or engine construction, as cylinder heads of car engines, or precision castings made of titanium alloys, such as turbine blades to effect.
  • components for example, ceramic ones Materials, eg for hip joint prostheses, for aluminum cast components in automotive or engine construction, as cylinder heads of car engines, or precision castings made of titanium alloys, such as turbine blades to effect.
  • the pores formed in the previous manufacturing process are closed, existing imperfections are connected and the microstructural properties are improved.
  • Another area of application is the production of powdered components close to the final contours, which are compacted and sintered during the process.
  • HIP cycles usually take a long time, from several hours to several days. A significant part of the cycle costs are caused by the machine hourly rate due to the capital tie-up.
  • the relatively long cooling times from operating temperature to a permissible temperature at which the press installation can be opened without risk usually make up more than one third of the cycle time and are not of any use in terms of process technology.
  • the cooling also plays an essential role for the material properties of the parts to be produced. Many materials require compliance with a certain maximum cooling rate for reasons of material quality.
  • Autoclaves with hot gas circulation with or without mechanical aids, such as blowers, are sufficiently known from the prior art.
  • mechanical aids such as blowers
  • the natural convection and the redistribution of the gas in the autoclave are used by existing or promoted temperature differences (heating or cooling on external walls). It drops colder fluid down and hotter fluid rises.
  • vanes Through the use of vanes, such fluid flows can be used in a controlled manner to provide uniform heating or cooling recirculation in the autoclave.
  • guide or convection sleeves which consist of a pipe open at the top and bottom. When heated, heat sources in the oven provide power and the flow will commence depending on the location of the heat source.
  • the cooling fluid between the convection sleeve and the cooling outer wall falls down, pushing the warmer fluid inside the sleeve past the workpieces upwards.
  • the incoming flow from below pushes the fluid towards the outside and thus drops the fluid between the outer wall and the sleeve back down. This again creates a corresponding cooling whereby the continuous cooling process is maintained.
  • An embodiment for the rapid cooling of a HIP system is, for example, with the DE 38 33 337 A1 known.
  • a gas circulation between the hot space inside the insulating hood and the cold room outside the insulating produced by valves in the bottom space of the circuit is opened.
  • In the upper lid of the insulating constantly open holes are available through which the hot fluid can escape.
  • a disadvantage of this embodiment is that very cold fluid from below flows back into the hot room and comes directly into contact with the loading of the furnace or the workpieces. The hot room is thus filled from bottom to top with cold gas. This has the disadvantage that on the one hand a sudden cooling can occur with too uncertain einberichtbaren parameters and that no uniform cooling rate over the entire batch space is achieved.
  • the problems described above, such as distortion, cracks or destruction can occur due to the uneven cooling.
  • the object of the present invention is now to provide a method for rapid cooling of a hot isostatic press and to provide a hot isostatic press suitable for carrying out the method, which allow uniform cooling of the loading space or the loading, with a colder fluid brisk with hot fluid in the Loading space of the hot isostatic press is mixed and at the same time a sufficiently fast and above all ensured circulation of the fluid in the entire pressure vessel, but especially in the loading space is achieved in order to achieve a uniform cooling of the entire load.
  • the solution of the task for the method according to claim 1 is that in the interior of the loading space of a pressure vessel to form a rotational flow via at least one nozzle fluid is injected, wherein the fluid mixes with fluid from the vicinity of the load during the passage of the rotary flow in the vicinity of the insulation, and wherein the fluid exiting the nozzle has a lower temperature than the fluid in the loading space and / or the loading.
  • the solution to the problem for the hot isostatic press for carrying out the method according to claim 13 is that within the pressure vessel at least one line is arranged with connection to at least one nozzle in the interior of the loading space, wherein the conduit with fluid at a lower temperature than the fluid in the loading space and / or the load is supplied.
  • the teaching of the invention is that a rotational flow within the loading space is formed by the targeted injection of cool fluid in the upper region of the pressure vessel. Due to the injection at high speed at the upper end of the loading space creates a cyclone effect within the loading space, that is, cooler fluid from the The nozzle is moved in a circle along the insulation by the rotation and sinks downwards due to the higher fluid density. Lack of separation from the loading space causes mixing between the hot fluid near the load and the cyclonic cold fluid. The case falling down fluid hereby pulls hot fluid from the inner region of the loading space with it creating a mixing temperature. Due to the optimal mixing and ensured for physical reasons securing the load from too cold fluid an optimal and uniform cooling gradient of the individual loading parts is ensured.
  • the rotational movement of the fluid in the interior of the loading space also ensures that rising and falling fluid no temperature niches in the loading space due to undercuts of the load or a load carrier can arise. Niches with normally stagnant fluid are due to the rotating fluid and the resulting additional turbulence on, for example, undercuts still sufficiently mixed to compensate for temperature differences perfectly.
  • the pressure vessel 1 shown in the figures has a loading area 19, which is usually located on the inside, and an insulation 8 arranged therebetween. Within the insulation 8 heating elements 4 are arranged and a load 18 is usually placed on a load carrier plate 6 or by means of a load carrier (not shown) on the Loading carrier plate 6 is provided.
  • the pressure vessel 1 has the rest of the closure lid 2 and 3 for loading and unloading of the pressure vessel 1 are used, but which are further considered to simplify the description of the pressure vessel 1 as belonging.
  • at least one nozzle 13 is arranged in the loading space 19 through which fluid 23, preferably at high speed, is flowed through to form a rotational flow 23.
  • the fluid has a lower temperature than the fluid in the loading space 19 and / or the load 18 itself and is forced by rotation to the inner wall of the insulation 8 due to physical laws.
  • the outside rotating fluid mixes with warmer fluid from the vicinity of the load 18.
  • the highest fluid Temperature In a vertical section to the central axis 26 of the pressure vessel 1 is thus found in the vicinity of the central axis 26, the highest fluid Temperature.
  • the temperature decreases during a current rotational flow 23 continuously in the direction of insulation 8 from.
  • the fluid is expelled horizontally to the central axis 26 of the pressure vessel 1 from the nozzle 13.
  • Optimal is also a tangential Ausdüsung of the fluid to the central axis 26 of the pressure vessel 1.
  • the fluid is either removed from the bottom space 22 at a lower temperature by means of a circulating device 5 and fed directly into the conduit 12, or it may as in the FIGS. 1 and 4 represented via an outlet 24 outside of the pressure vessel 1 to a fluid cooler 10 and then fed via an inlet 25 into the conduit 12.
  • the cooled fluid returned to the pressure vessel 1 via the inlet 25 is fed into the line 12 via an ejector pump, comprising a sparger 15 and a venturi 16, with the admixing of fluid from the floor space 22 ( FIG. 1 ).
  • the fluid from the perforations 7 can enter directly into the bottom space 22 from the loading space 19 and / or from the second annular gap 17.
  • This is a structural design and is defined by the cooling rates to be achieved, because the fluid from the loading space 19 is significantly warmer than from the second annular gap 17.
  • an outer circulation circuit 20 is established by means of natural convection in two mutually parallel annular gaps 9, 17, wherein the circulation circuit 20 is disposed completely outside the insulation 8.
  • the fluid of the outer circulation circuit 20 and the rotating fluid from the loading chamber 19 can exchange and mix with each other below the loading space by means of openings 14 in the insulation 8.
  • Hot gas from the rotary flow 23 can in this case pass through the openings 14 in the outer circulation circuit 20, where it is first mixed with the outer circulation flow and is further cooled by the circulation of the pressure vessel wall 1 and can flow as cooled gas through the openings 14 back below the loading space 19.
  • the fluid is injected via the nozzle 13 in or above a guide device 27 in the loading space 19.
  • This guide device 27 can be used as a simple or double horizontally arranged disc ( FIG. 4a ) or ring ( FIG. 4b ), which ensures that the cooler fluid exiting from the nozzle 13 before entering the rotational flow 23 to the outer edge of the loading space 19, here formed by the insulation 8, passes. This avoids an uncontrolled flow of cooler fluid into the middle of the loading space 19.
  • the guide device 27 may additionally as a horizontally arranged double sheet or double ring, as after the execution in FIG. 4a .
