Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a piston ring. Moreover, the present invention relates to a method for producing the piston rings according to the invention.
  • piston rings seal the gap between the piston head and the cylinder wall with respect to the combustion chamber.
  • piston piston ring slides on the one hand with its outer peripheral surface in constant resilient engagement against the cylinder wall, on the other hand slides the piston ring, due to the tilting movements of the piston, oscillating in its Kolbenringnut, with its edges alternately at the top or bottom Abut groove flank of the piston ring groove.
  • sliding against each other occurs depending on the material, a more or less severe wear, which can lead to so-called scuffing, scoring and finally to a destruction of the engine in a dry run.
  • Piston rings For the production of highly stressed parts of internal combustion engines, such as piston rings, usually cast iron materials or cast iron alloys are used. Piston rings, particularly compression rings, are subject to increasing loads in highly stressed engines, including compression peak pressure, combustion temperature, EGR, and lubricating film reduction, which significantly affect their performance characteristics, such as wear, fire resistance, microwelding, and corrosion resistance.
  • cast iron materials according to the prior art have a high risk of breakage, so that it often comes to ring breaking when using existing materials. Increased mechanical-dynamic loads lead to shorter lifetimes of piston rings. Likewise, it comes to heavy wear and corrosion on the tread and flank.
  • piston rings made of high-quality steel tempered and high-alloyed, such as material 1.4112.
  • high-quality steel tempered and high-alloyed, such as material 1.4112.
  • ferrous materials with less than 2.08 wt .-% carbon as steel If the carbon content is higher, this is referred to as cast iron.
  • Steel materials have better strength and toughness properties compared with cast iron, since there is no disturbance due to free graphite in the basic structure.
  • Cast iron has a much lower melting temperature than steel. The difference can be up to 350 ° C, depending on the chemical composition. Cast iron is therefore easier to melt and pour, as a lower melting temperature means a lower casting temperature and thus a smaller shrinkage due to shrinkage, whereby the cast material has fewer voids or hot and cold cracks. A lower casting temperature also leads to a lower load on the molding material (erosion, gas porosity, sand inclusions) and the furnace and lower melt costs.
  • the melting temperature of the iron material depends not only on its carbon content, but also on the "degree of saturation".
  • S c C / 4 . 26 - 1 / 3 Si + P ,
  • a saturation level of 1.0 is usually desired, wherein the cast iron has a melting temperature of 1150 ° C.
  • the degree of saturation of steel is about 0.18, depending on the chemical composition.
  • Eutectic steel has a melting temperature of 1500 ° C.
  • the degree of saturation can be significantly influenced by the Si or P content. For example, a 3% by weight higher content of silicon will be similar to a 1% higher C content. It is thus possible to produce a steel material with a C content of 1% by weight and 9.78% by weight of silicon, which has the same melting temperature as cast iron with a degree of saturation of 1.0 (C: 3.26% by weight). -%, Si: 3.0 wt .-%).
  • Piston rings of high silicon steel cast material are known in the art. However, the silicon present in higher amounts adversely affects the hardenability of the material as its austenite transformation temperature "Ac3" is increased.
  • piston rings with the features of claim 1. Furthermore, the present invention provides a method having the features of claim 3 to produce such a piston ring. Preferred embodiments are described in the dependent claims.
  • the piston rings according to the invention comprise, as the base body, a steel material composition which contains the following elements in the stated proportion: C: 0.5 - 1.2 Wt .-% Mn: 3.0 - 15.0 Wt .-% Si: 2,0 - 10,0 Wt .-% and optional Cr: 0 - 3.0 Wt .-%, al: Max. 0.02 Wt .-%, P: Max. 0.1 Wt .-%, B: Max. 0.1 Wt .-%, S: Max. 0.05 Wt .-%, Cu: Max. 2.0 Wt .-%, Sn: Max. 0.05 Wt .-%, Not a word: Max. 3.0 Wt .-%, Ti: Max. 1.5 Wt .-%, Nb: Max. 0.05 Wt .-%, V: Max. 1.5 Wt .-%, Ni: Max. 4.0 Wt .-%, W: Max. 1.5 Wt .-%,
  • Residual iron at least 72 wt .-% and common impurities, wherein the sum of the proportions of Nb, Ti, V and W is at most 1.5 wt .-%, and the steel material composition of the invention only elements selected from the group consisting of Al, B, C, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn , Mo, Nb, Ni, P, S, Si, Sn, Ti, V and W, the sum of these elements being 100 wt%.
  • the contained manganese functions as an austenite former that expands the gamma region and shifts the austenite transition temperature Ac3 upwards. In this way, an improved hardenability of the steel material is achieved according to the invention.
  • the piston rings according to the invention have a reduced tendency to change their shape under high heat and thus have a permanently high performance and also reduce the oil consumption.
  • the steel piston rings according to the invention furthermore have the advantage that their production with the machines and technologies necessary for the production of cast iron workpieces is made possible.
  • the production costs are equivalent to those of cast iron piston rings, which offers the manufacturer a cost advantage and a better added value.
  • material parameters can be set freely by the supplier.
  • starting materials for example, steel scrap, circulation material and alloying materials can be used.
  • the melting process takes place in an oven, preferably a cupola. Subsequently, a blank is produced with solidification of the melt.
  • the piston ring can be cast with methods known in the art, such as centrifugal casting, continuous casting, stamp pressing, croning or preferably green sand molds.
  • the mold After cooling the piston ring, the mold is ejected and the blank obtained cleaned.
  • the quenching medium used is preferably oil.
  • nitriding of the resulting piston ring can take place after the aforementioned method steps. This can be done for example by gas nitriding, plasma nitriding or pressure nitriding.
  • a piston ring was produced from a steel material composition according to the invention of the following composition: al: 0,002 Wt .-% P: 0.03 Wt .-% B: 0.1 Wt .-% S: 0.009 Wt .-% C: 0.7 Wt .-% Si: 3.0 Wt .-% Cr: 2.0 Wt .-% Sn: 0.001 Wt .-% Cu: 0.05 Wt .-% Ti: 0,007 Wt .-% Mn: 5.0 Wt .-% V: 0,015 Wt .-% Not a word: 0.5 Wt .-% W: 0.011 Wt .-% Nb: 0,002 Wt .-% Fe: rest
