Definitions

  • the subject invention relates to a multilayer metal molded body with a metal foam matrix, in which a one- or multi-part insert element is embedded, wherein the metal foam matrix and the insert element are positively connected to each other, and a method for producing such a metal molding.
  • Such a metal molded body is eg from the DE 20313 655 U1 which discloses an aluminum foam bullet resistant member having a net-like reinforcement embedded in the aluminum foam, the reinforcement being formed as a mesh or woven fabric of a steel wire.
  • a mesh is a braid in which a plurality of continuous wires are connected to a braid. The contact points between the individual wires can be rigid or loose. Under bombardment, these continuous wires are subjected to high tensile stresses and strains by the projectile or projectile to be stopped, so that either a high-strength and high-tensile steel wire is required, or the steel wire must be dimensioned accordingly. Although a good shot resistance can be achieved thereby, the cost of such a metal molding can be driven upwards.
  • the object of the present invention is thus to provide a metal mold body which does not have the above disadvantages and moreover an even better strength against penetrating or impacting bodies, such as impact of a body, e.g. by an obvious explosion, or by a projectile possesses.
  • the insert element is designed as a push-soft ring mesh with loosely connected rings.
  • An inventive method for producing a multilayer metal molded article is characterized by the following steps: providing a mold for the metal molding; Arranging at least one single or multi-part insert element in the form of a push soft ring mesh with loosely connected rings in the mold; Melting a metal; Introducing gas into the molten metal to foam the molten metal to produce a flowable metal foam; Introducing the flowable metal foam into the mold; and cooling the metal in the mold, wherein the metal solidifies to form the metal mold.
  • a metal molding according to the invention thus a very lightweight component with the highest bullet class B7 can be achieved.
  • a metal molding can be used, for example, as armor for vehicles or buildings, but also as a shield for persons.
  • the effect can be further increased if in the metal foam matrix a plurality of annular braids are arranged next to or behind each other, wherein the ring braids can also be arranged offset to one another.
  • the metal foam matrix may have a substantially monomodal bubble size distribution.
  • the bubble sizes of the metal foam matrix may also gradually increase from one side surface of the metal molding to the opposite side surface, whereby the strength of the metal molding can be further increased.
  • a further increase in the strength of the metal molding is achieved by a bias of the ring mesh in the metal foam matrix.
  • a further layer of a homogeneous and / or isotropic material such as a stone foil is applied to a side surface of the metal molded body, since this breaks up the impacting projectile and changes the path of the projectile and thus its effect is reduced. For such an application, it is convenient to turn this layer to the bombardment.
  • Fig. 1 shows a rigid, sheet-like, multilayer metal shaped body 1, wherein the length, height and width ratios are advantageously selected according to the relationship 1, h >> b, with which one obtains a flat metal shaped body 1 with a large-area side surface 2.
  • the metal shaped body 1 can be designed as a plate, disc or shell with any curvature and with any cross-section.
  • the metal molded body 1 consists essentially of a metal foam matrix 4, preferably aluminum foam, in which one or more single or multi-part insert elements 3 are embedded. Metal foam 4 and insert element (s) 3 are positively connected with each other and form a composite part. Due to the nature of the production of the metal shaped body 1 (by a casting method), it can also come through the adhesion to a certain material connection, but only to about max. 30% based on the breaking strength and pullout strength.
  • the insert elements 3 can be arranged almost arbitrarily, as in the FIGS. 2 to 4 indicated. For example, only a single insert element 3 may be provided at the edge or in the middle of the metal molding 1. However, it is also possible for a plurality of insert elements 3 arranged next to one another or one behind the other to be provided. Likewise, it is conceivable not to arrange insert elements 3 substantially parallel to a side surface 2, but at a certain angle thereto. Exactly so can be provided to bias one or more insert element (s) 3 before embedding in the metal foam matrix 4 with a certain force F.
  • an additional layer 5 made of a homogeneous and / or isotropic material can be applied to a side surface 2 by a suitable method, such as eg by material bond or material closure by a surface bonding, preferably a thin stone film, for example of granite or the like.
  • This layer 5 has a positive effect in particular when used as a shot-resistant rigid molded part, since this increases the permissible firing class and the blasting effect can be reduced or even eliminated.
  • This layer 5 is to turn to the bombardment.
  • By such a layer 5 is a The impacting bullet is broken open and the trajectory of the bullet is changed (essentially by spinning it on impact), thus reducing the effect.
  • a possible inventive shaped metal body 1 could be formed from an aluminum (or other suitable metal) metal foam matrix 4, in which a ring mesh of steel, titanium, or aluminum rings is embedded.
  • the rings can have an outside diameter of 3 - 20mm (depending on the application) and the bubble size of the metal foam matrix 4 is chosen depending on the application, eg up to 30mm bubble size.
  • the ring thicknesses can be chosen between 1 and 2mm, for example.
  • the ring mesh may also be surface treated and cured.
  • the bias of a ring mesh in the metal foam matrix 4 may be for example 1 kN.
  • Such an arrangement is suitable as a shot-resistant metal molding for 1 kg TNT at 5m distance or 15kg plastic explosive at 15m distance.
  • Fig. 7 describes by way of example the production of a metal molding 1 according to the invention.
  • a two-part mold 10 In a two-part mold 10, one or more, single or multi-part insert element (s) 3 in the form of a push-soft ring mesh with loosely connected rings 6 in the desired position within a cavity 12, which dictates the outer shape of the metal molding arranged.
  • the insert element 3 can also be biased with a certain force.
  • metal eg aluminum
  • the cavity 12 of the mold 10 is connected to the furnace 14 via a filler opening 11 and a filler 13 (or similar device).
  • the filler 13 dips into the liquid metal bath 16 in the oven 14.
  • a foaming device 18, such as a nozzle arrangement or an impeller is further provided.
  • Suitable foaming devices and foaming processes are, for example, in the patents EP 1 288 320 B1 and EP 1 419 835 B1 the applicant described.
  • the foaming device 18 is supplied via a feed line 20 gas, preferably air, which exits via the foaming device 18 into the liquid metal bath 16 and forms bubbles 22 in the metal bath. These bubbles 22 rise in the metal bath 16 and in the filler 13 (indicated by the arrow in FIG Fig. 7 In this way, the foaming process is carried out until the entire cavity 12 is filled with bubbles 22 or with metal foam 4.
  • the metal foam can be pressed into the cavity 12 of the mold 10, for example by a pressure on the metal bath 16 is applied.
  • the insert part (s) 3 is surrounded, at least partially, but preferably completely, with liquid metal foam and embedded in the metal foam matrix 4.
  • liquid metal foam and embedded in the metal foam matrix 4.
  • necessary vents between mold 10 or the oven 14 and the outside world may be provided to effect a pressure equalization during filling.
  • the cavity 12 can be closed and the mold 10 can be removed for cooling.
  • metal foam can be produced in a separate device, such as a furnace 14, e.g. according to conventional known methods, and this metal foam with a suitable device, such. a creator or a trowel, are conveyed to a separate mold 10. There, the liquid metal foam can be filled in the cavity 12 of the mold 10. This can e.g. take place, in which the liquid metal foam is pressed in the cavity 12 of the mold, e.g. by means of a stamp.
