Definitions
- the present invention relates to a composite tooth for equipping a machine for tillage or rocks. It relates in particular to a tooth comprising a metal matrix reinforced by particles of titanium carbide.
- teeth is to be interpreted broadly and includes any element of any size, having a pointed or flattened shape, intended in particular for working the soil, the bottom of streams or seas, rocks , on the surface or in the mines.
- EP 1 450 973 B1 discloses a strengthening of wear parts made by placing in the mold for receiving the casting metal, an insert consisting of reactive powders that react with each other thanks to the heat provided by the metal during casting at a very high temperature (> 1400 0 C). After reaction of SHS type, the powders of the reactive insert will create a relatively uniform porous cluster (conglomerate) of hard particles; once formed, this porous mass will be immediately infiltrated by the casting metal at high temperature. The reaction of the powders is exothermic and self-propagating, which allows a synthesis of the carbides at high temperature and considerably increases the wettability of the porous mass by the infiltration metal.
- the present invention discloses a composite tooth for a tillage or rock tillage tool, particularly for excavating or dredging tools, with improved wear resistance while maintaining good impact resistance.
- This property is obtained by a composite reinforcement structure specifically designed for this application, a material that alternates on a millimeter scale dense zones in fine micrometric globular particles of metal carbides with zones that are practically free of them within the metallic matrix. of the tooth.
- the present invention also provides a method for obtaining said reinforcement structure.
- the present invention discloses a composite tooth for tillage or rocks, said tooth comprising a ferrous alloy reinforced at least in part with titanium carbide in a defined geometry, wherein said reinforced portion comprises an alternating macro-microstructure of millimetric zones of millimetric zones concentrated in micrometric globular particles of titanium carbide separated by millimetric zones substantially free of micrometric globular particles of titanium carbide, micrometrically concentrated micrometric micrometric particles of micrometric titanium carbide particles in which the micrometric interstices between said globular particles are also occupied by said ferrous alloy.
- the composite tooth comprises at least one or a suitable combination of the following characteristics: said concentrated millimetric zones have a concentration of titanium carbides greater than 36.9% by volume; said reinforced portion has an overall titanium carbide content between 16.6 and 50.5% by volume; the micrometric globular particles of titanium carbide have a size of less than 50 ⁇ m; most of the micrometric globular particles of titanium carbide has a size less than 20 microns; said zones concentrated in globular particles of titanium carbide comprise 36.9 to 72.2% by volume of titanium carbide; said millimetric areas of concentrated titanium carbide have a size ranging from 1 to 12 mm; said millimetric zones concentrated in titanium carbide have a dimension ranging from 1 to 6 mm; said concentrated areas of titanium carbide have a size ranging from 1.4 to 4 mm;
- the present invention also discloses a method of manufacturing the composite tooth according to any one of claims 1 to 9 comprising the following steps: provision of a mold having the tooth impression with a geometry of reinforcement predefined; introducing, into the part of the impression of the tooth intended to form the reinforced part (5), a mixture of compacted powders comprising carbon and titanium in the form of millimetric granules precursors of titanium carbide; casting a ferrous alloy into the mold, the heat of said casting triggering an exothermic reaction of self-propagating synthesis of high temperature titanium carbide (SHS) within said precursor granules; forming, within the reinforced portion of the composite tooth, an alternating macro-microstructure of millimetric zones concentrated in micrometric globular particles of titanium carbide at the location of said precursor granules, said zones being separated from each other by millimetric zones substantially free of micrometric globular particles of titanium carbide, said globular particles being also separated within said millimetric millimetric zones of titanium carbide by micrometric interstices; infiltration
- the process comprises at least one or a suitable combination of the following characteristics: the compacted powders of titanium and carbon comprise a powder of a ferrous alloy; said carbon is graphite.
- the present invention also discloses a composite tooth obtained according to the method of any one of claims 11 to 13. Brief description of the figures
- Figures la and Ib show a three-dimensional view of teeth without reinforcement according to the state of the art.
- Figures Ic to Ih show a three-dimensional view of teeth with a reinforcement according to the invention.
- Figure 2 shows illustrative examples of tools on which the teeth according to the invention are mounted. Excavation and drilling tools.
- Figure 3a-3h shows the manufacturing method of the tooth shown in Figure Ib according to the invention.
- step 3a shows the device for mixing titanium and carbon powders;
- step 3b shows the compaction of the powders between two rollers followed by crushing and sieving with recycling of the fine particles;
- FIG. 3c shows a sand mold in which a dam has been placed to contain the granules of compacted powder at the location of the reinforcement of the tooth of the type
- FIG. 3d shows an enlargement of the reinforcement zone in which the compacted granules comprising TiC precursor reactants are found
- step 3e shows the casting of the ferrous alloy in the mold
- FIG. 3f shows the type Ib tooth resulting from the casting
- FIG. 3g shows an enlargement of the zones with a high concentration of TiC nodules - this diagram represents the same zones as in FIG. 4;
- FIG. 3h shows an enlargement within the same zone with a high concentration of TiC globules; Micrometric globules are individually surrounded by the casting metal.
- FIG. 4 represents a binocular view of a polished, unengaged surface of a section of the reinforced portion of the tooth according to the invention with millimetric zones (in light gray) concentrated in micrometric globular titanium carbide ( TiC globules).
- the dark part represents the metal matrix (steel or cast iron) filling at the same time the space between these concentrated zones in micrometric globular titanium carbide but also the spaces between the globules themselves. (See Figures 5 and 6).
- FIG. 5 and 6 show SEM electron microscope views of micrometric globular titanium carbide on polished and untouched surfaces at different magnifications. We see that in this particular case most of the globules of titanium carbide have a size less than 10 microns.
- FIG. 7 represents a view of micrometric globular titanium carbide on a fracture surface taken by SEM electron microscope. It can be seen that the globules of titanium carbide are perfectly incorporated in the metal matrix. This proves that the casting metal completely infiltrates (impregnates) the pores during casting once the chemical reaction between titanium and carbon is initiated.
- millimetric interstices filled with ferrous casting alloy generally free of particles Micrometric globular titanium carbide (dark areas) 3. Micrometric interstices between TiC nodules also infiltrated by casting alloy 4. Micrometric globular titanium carbide, in concentrated areas of titanium carbide
- dam containing compacted granules of Ti / C mixture 17.
- the term SHS or "self-propagating high temperature synthesis" reaction is a self-propagating high temperature synthesis reaction in which reaction temperatures that are generally greater than 1500 0 C, or 2000 0 C.
- reaction temperatures that are generally greater than 1500 0 C, or 2000 0 C.
- the reaction between titanium powder and carbon powder to obtain titanium carbide TiC is highly exothermic. Only a little energy is needed to initiate the reaction locally. Then, the reaction will spontaneously propagate to the entire mixture of reagents thanks to the high temperatures reached. After initiation of the reaction, one has a reaction front which is propagated spontaneously (self-propagated) and which makes it possible to obtain titanium carbide from titanium and carbon.
- the titanium carbide thus obtained is said to be "obtained in situ" because it does not come from the cast ferrous alloy.
- the reactive powder mixtures comprise carbon powder and titanium powder and are compressed into plates and then crushed in order to obtain granules whose size varies from 1 to 12 mm, preferably from 1 to 12 mm. 6 mm, and particularly preferably from 1.4 to 4 mm. These granules are not 100% compacted. They are generally compressed between 55 and 95% of the theoretical density. These granules allow easy use / handling (see Fig. 3a-3h).
- These millimetric granules of mixed carbon and titanium powders obtained according to the diagrams of FIG. 3a-3h constitute the precursors of the titanium carbide to be created and make it possible to easily fill mold parts of various or irregular shapes. These granules can be held in place in the mold 15 by means of a dam 16, for example. The shaping or assembly of these granules can also be done using an adhesive.
- the composite tooth for working the soil or rocks according to the present invention has a macro-microstructure reinforcement that can also be called alternating structure of concentrated zones in micrometric globular particles of titanium carbide separated by zones which are practically free. Such a structure is obtained by the reaction in the mold of the granules comprising a mixture of powders of carbon and titanium.
- This reaction is initiated by the heat of casting of the cast iron or steel used to sink any the part and therefore both the unreinforced part and the reinforced part (see Fig. 3e).
- the casting therefore triggers an exothermic reaction of self-propagating synthesis at high temperature of the mixture of powders of carbon and titanium compacted in the form of granules (self-propagating high-temperature synthesis - SHS) and previously placed in the mold 15.
- SHS high temperature synthesis
- This high temperature synthesis allows easy infiltration of all millimetric and micrometric interstices by cast iron or casting steel (Fig. 3g & 3h). By increasing the wettability, the infiltration can be done on any thickness or depth of reinforcement of the tooth.
- the reinforcement zones with a high concentration of titanium carbide are composed of globular micrometer particles of TiC in a large percentage (between approximately 35 and approximately 70% by volume) and of the ferrous infiltration alloy.
- micrometric globular particles are meant globally spheroidal particles which have a size ranging from microns to a few tens of microns at most, the vast majority of these particles having a size less than 50 microns, and even at 20 microns. or even 10 ⁇ m.
- TiC globules This globular form is characteristic of a method for obtaining titanium carbide by self-propagating SHS synthesis (see Fig. 6).
- the process for obtaining the granules is illustrated in FIG. 3a-3h.
- the granules of carbon / titanium reagents are obtained by compaction between rollers 10 in order to obtain strips that are then crushed in a crusher 11.
- the mixture of the powders is made in a mixer 8 consisting of a tank equipped with blades , to promote homogeneity.
- the mixture then passes into a granulation apparatus through a hopper 9.
- This machine comprises two rollers 10, through which the material is passed. Pressure is applied to these rollers 10, which compresses the material. A strip of compressed material is obtained at the outlet, which is then crushed in order to obtain the granules.
- These granules are then sieved to the desired particle size in a sieve 13.
- the apparent density of the granules is 3.75 x 0.55, ie 2.06 g / cm 3 .
- a density on the strips 90% of the theoretical density is obtained, an apparent density of 3.38 g / cm 3.
- the granules obtained from the raw material Ti + C are porous. This porosity varies from 5% for highly compressed granules, to 45% for slightly compressed granules.
- the granules obtained generally have a size between 1 and 12 mm, preferably between 1 and 6 mm, and particularly preferably between 1.4 and 4 mm. Realization of the reinforcement zone in the composite tooth according to the invention
- the granules are made as described above. To obtain a three-dimensional structure or superstructure / macro-microstructure with these granules, they are placed in the areas of the mold where it is desired to reinforce the workpiece. This is achieved by agglomerating the granules either by means of an adhesive, or by confining them in a container, or by any other means (dam 16).
- the bulk density of the stack of Ti + C granules is measured according to ISO 697 and depends on the level of compaction of the bands, the granulometric distribution of the granules and the crushing mode of the bands, which influences the shape of the granules .
- the bulk density of these Ti + C granules is generally of the order of 0.9 g / cm 3 to 2.5 g / cm 3 depending on the level of compaction of these granules and the density of the stack. Before reaction, there is therefore a stack of porous granules composed of a mixture of titanium powder and carbon powder.
- the casting metal will infiltrate: the microscopic porosity present in the spaces with a high concentration of titanium carbide, depending on the initial compaction level of these granules; the millimeter spaces between the zones with a high concentration of titanium carbide, depending on the initial stacking of the granules (bulk density);
- Granulation was carried out with a Sahut granulator.
- Reinforcement has been done by placing granules in a metal container, which is then conveniently placed in the mold where the tooth is likely to be reinforced. Then we cast the steel or cast in this mold.
- Example 1 it is intended to provide a tooth whose reinforced areas comprise an overall volume percentage of TiC of about 42%.
- a band is produced by compaction at 85% of the density theoretical of a mixture of C and Ti. After crushing, the granules are sieved to obtain a pellet size of between 1.4 and 4 mm. A bulk density of the order of 2.1 g / cm 3 (35% space between the granules + 15% porosity in the granules) is obtained.
- the granules are placed in the mold at the location of the part to be reinforced, which thus comprises 65% by volume of porous granules.
- a chromium cast iron (3% C, 25% Cr) is then cast at about 1500 ° C. in a non-preheated sand mold.
- the reaction between Ti and C is initiated by the heat of melting. This casting is done without a protective atmosphere.
- 65% by volume of zones with a high concentration of approximately 65% of globular titanium carbide is obtained, ie 42% by global volume of TiC in the reinforced part of the tooth.
- Example 2 it is intended to make a tooth whose reinforced zones comprise an overall volume percentage of TiC of about 30%.
- a 70% compaction band is made of the theoretical density of a mixture of C and Ti.
- the granules are sieved to obtain a pellet size of between 1.4 and 4 mm.
- a bulk density of about 1.4 g / cm 3 (45% of space between the granules + 30% of porosity in the granules) is obtained.
- the granules are placed in the part to be reinforced, which thus comprises 55% by volume of porous granules.
- 55% by volume of zones with a high concentration of approximately 53% of globular titanium carbide are obtained, ie approximately 30% by total volume of TiC in the reinforced part of the tooth.
- a tooth whose reinforced areas have a percentage by volume of TiC of about 20%.
- a band is made by compaction at 60% of the theoretical density of a mixture of C and Ti. After crushing, the granules are sieved so as to obtain a granule size of 1 and 6 mm. A bulk density of the order of 1.0 g / cm 3 (55% of space between the granules + 40% of porosity in the granules) is obtained. The granules are placed in the part to be reinforced, which thus comprises 45% by volume of porous granules. After reaction, in the reinforced part 45% by volume of concentrated zones with approximately 45% of globular titanium carbide is obtained, ie 20% by global volume of TiC in the reinforced part of the tooth.
- Example 4 it was sought to attenuate the intensity of the reaction between carbon and titanium by adding a ferrous alloy powder.
- a ferrous alloy powder As in Example 2, it is intended to make a tooth whose reinforced areas comprise an overall volume percentage of TiC of about 30%.
- a compaction band is produced at 85% of the theoretical density of a mixture by weight of 15% of C, 63% of Ti and 22% of Fe.
- the granules After crushing, the granules are sieved to obtain a granule size between 1.4 and 4 mm. A bulk density of the order of 2 g / cm 3 (45% of space between the granules + 15% of porosity in the granules) is obtained.
- the granules are placed in the part to be reinforced, which thus comprises 55% by volume of porous granules. After reaction, in the reinforced part, 55% by volume of zones with a high concentration are obtained. of about 3,000 by volume of total titanium carbide in the tooth-enhanced macro-microstructure.
- the proportion of mixture that has been used is:
- iron powder pure iron or iron alloy.
- millimeter granules which are crimped into the metal infiltration alloy. These millimetric granules are themselves composed of microscopic particles of TiC globular tendency also crimped in the alloy
- the cracks generally originate at the most fragile places, which are in this case the TiC particle or the interface between this particle and the infiltration metal alloy. If a crack originates at the interface or in the micrometric particle of TiC, the propagation of this crack is then impeded by the infiltration alloy which surrounds this particle.
- the toughness of the infiltration alloy is greater than that of the TiC ceramic particle. The crack needs more energy to pass from one particle to another, to cross the micrometric spaces that exist between the particles.
- the reaction between Ti and C is strongly exothermic.
- the rise in temperature causes degassing of the reagents, that is to say volatile materials included in the reagents (H 2 O in carbon, H 2 , N 2 in titanium).
- the higher the reaction temperature the greater this clearance is important.
- the granular technique makes it possible to limit the temperature, to limit the gaseous volume and allows an easier evacuation of the gases and thus to limit the gas defects. (see Fig. 7 with unwanted gas bubble).
- the coefficient of expansion of the TiC reinforcement is smaller than that of the ferrous alloy matrix (TiC expansion coefficient: 7.5 ⁇ 10 -6 / K and the ferrous alloy: about 12.0 10 " / K). This difference in the expansion coefficients has the consequence of generating tensions in the material during the solidification phase and also during the heat treatment. If these voltages are too great, cracks may appear in the room and lead to scrapping it.
- a small proportion of TiC reinforcement (less than 50% by volume) is used, resulting in less stress in the part.
- the boundary between the reinforced portion and the unreinforced portion of the tooth is not abrupt since there is a continuity of the metal matrix between the reinforced portion and the unreinforced part, which makes it possible to protect it against a complete tearing off of the reinforcement.
- test results [0060]
- the advantages of the tooth according to the present invention with respect to non-composite teeth are an improvement in wear resistance of the order of 300%.
- the following performances (expressed in tooth life for a given working volume) have been observed for the products produced according to the invention (reinforcement type Fig. 1f including, overall, a volume percentage of TiC of 30 vol% - Example 2), compared with identical hardened steel teeth.
