Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf das Gebiet der Materialwissenschaften und betrifft hochfeste, bei Raumtemperatur plastisch verformbare und mechanische Energie absorbierende Formkörper aus Eisenlegierungen. Derartige Formkörper sind einsetzbar als Schneid-, Stanz- und Spaltwerkzeuge, in der Flugzeugindustrie, der Raumfahrt, der Fahrzeugindustrie und allgemein im Maschinen- und Gerätebau, sowie für Gewinnungswerkzeuge, z.B. Baggerzähne, wenn besonders hohe Anforderungen an die mechanische Belastbarkeit, die Oberflächenbeanspruchung (Verschleiß) und insbesondere an das Vermögen mechanische Energie zu absorbieren gestellt werden.The invention relates to the field of materials science and relates to high-strength, at room temperature plastically deformable and energy absorbing mechanical body of iron alloys. Such moldings can be used as cutting, punching and splitting tools, in the aerospace industry, aerospace, the automotive industry and generally in mechanical engineering, as well as for mining tools, e.g. Dredger teeth, if particularly high demands on the mechanical loadability, the surface stress (wear) and in particular on the ability to absorb mechanical energy are provided.

Bekannt ist, dass bestimmte mehrkomponentige metallische Werkstoffe, z.B. FeCuNbSiB ( Y. Yoshizawa, et al: J. Appl. Phys. 64 (10), (1988) 6044-6046 ) durch rasche Erstarrung in einen metastabilen glasartigen Zustand überführt werden können (metallische Gläser), um vorteilhafte (z.B. weichmagnetische, mechanische, katalytische) Eigenschaften zu erhalten. Meist sind diese Werkstoffe wegen der erforderlichen Abkühlrate der Schmelze nur mit geringen Abmessungen in mindestens einer Dimension z. B. dünne Bänder oder Pulver herstellbar. Damit sind sie als Konstruktionswerkstoff nicht geeignet ( T. Masumoto: Mater. Sci. Eng. A179/180 (1994) 8-16 ).It is known that certain multicomponent metallic materials, eg FeCuNbSiB ( Y. Yoshizawa, et al .: J. Appl. Phys. 64 (10), (1988) 6044-6046 ) can be converted by rapid solidification in a metastable glassy state (metallic glasses) to obtain advantageous (eg soft magnetic, mechanical, catalytic) properties. Most of these materials are because of the required Cooling rate of the melt only with small dimensions in at least one dimension z. B. thin bands or powder produced.

Vorteilhafterweise sind ferritische und/oder bainitische Phasen vorhanden.Advantageously, ferritic and / or bainitic phases are present.

Weiterhin vorteilhafterweise beträgt der Volumenanteil der martensitischen Phase 50 bis 70 %.Further advantageously, the volume fraction of the martensitic phase is 50 to 70%.

Ebenfalls vorteilhafterweise beträgt der Volumenanteil der austenitischen Phase 5 bis < 30 %, noch vorteilhafterweise 10 bis 20 %.Also advantageously, the volume fraction of the austenitic phase is 5 to <30%, more preferably 10 to 20%.

Und auch vorteilhafterweise beträgt der Volumenanteil der boridischen und/oder carbidischen und/oder nitridischen und/oder oxidischen Phasen 5 - 15 Vol.-%.And also advantageously, the volume fraction of the boridic and / or carbidic and / or nitridic and / or oxidic phases is 5 to 15% by volume.

Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren zur Herstellung von hochfesten, bei Raumtemperatur plastisch verformbaren und mechanische Energie absorbierenden Formkörpern aus Eisenlegierungen werden die Legierungselemente gemischt, aufgeschmolzen und anschließend in eine Gussform gegossen, wobei die Abkühlung der Legierung in der Gussform mit einer Geschwindigkeit von > 20 K/s realisiert wird und die Abkühlungsgeschwindigkeit in Abhängigkeit von der einzustellenden Phasenzusammensetzung gewählt wird, wobei höhere Abkühlgeschwindigkeiten die Bildung der martensitischen Phase fördern.In the inventive method for producing high-strength, at room temperature plastically deformable and mechanical energy-absorbing moldings made of iron alloys, the alloying elements are mixed, melted and then poured into a mold, wherein the cooling of the alloy in the mold at a rate of> 20 K / s is realized and the cooling rate is chosen depending on the phase composition to be set, with higher cooling rates promote the formation of the martensitic phase.

Vorteilhafterweise wird zur Realisierung von boridischen und/oder carbidischen und/oder nitridischen Phasen im Gefüge das Aufschmelzen und Formgießen unter Ausschluss von Sauerstoff durchgeführt wird,Advantageously, in order to realize boridic and / or carbidic and / or nitridic phases in the microstructure, the melting and casting is carried out with the exclusion of oxygen,

Ebenfalls werden zur Realisierung der Abkühlgeschwindigkeiten Gussformen mit einer geringen Dicke des herzustellenden Formkörpers eingesetzt, wobei Gussformen mit einer Dicke des herzustellenden Formkörpers von 1 bis 30 mm, noch vorteilhafterweise von 10 bis 20 mm oder von 12 bis 20 mm, eingesetzt.Also molds are used to realize the cooling rates with a small thickness of the molded article to be produced, wherein molds having a thickness of the molded article of 1 to 30 mm, more preferably from 10 to 20 mm or from 12 to 20 mm used.

Die erfindungsgemäßen Formkörper weisen derartig verbesserte Eigenschaften gegenüber Formkörpern aus metallischen Gläsern oder aus metallischen Legierungen auf, die aufgrund der zum Teil geringen Änderungen in der Zusammensetzung und/oder im Herstellungsverfahren nicht zu erwarten gewesen sind.The shaped bodies according to the invention have improved properties compared to shaped bodies made of metallic glasses or of metallic alloys, which were not to be expected due to the sometimes small changes in the composition and / or in the production process.

Es war überraschend, dass gerade die erfindungsgemäßen Zusammensetzungen und ihre erfindungsgemäße Herstellung aus der nahezu unendlichen Anzahl an möglichen Zusammensetzungen von metallischen Gläsern oder kristallinen Legierungen diese vorteilhaften Eigenschaften aufweisen. Legierungszusammensetzungen auch nahe bei den erfindungsgemäßen Zusammensetzungen zeigen deutlich schlechtere Eigenschaften.It was surprising that it is precisely the compositions according to the invention and their preparation according to the invention which have the almost infinite number of possible compositions of metallic glasses or crystalline alloys having these advantageous properties. Alloy compositions also close to the compositions according to the invention show markedly poorer properties.

Hervorzuheben sind bei den verbesserten Eigenschaften der erfindungsgemäßen Formkörper insbesondere, dass sie bei Raumtemperatur in unerwarteter Art und Weise plastisch verformbar sind und gleichzeitig deutlich mehr mechanische Energie absorbieren können. Dies führt zusammen zu einer signifikanten Festigkeitssteigerung der Formkörper.It should be emphasized in the improved properties of the shaped bodies according to the invention in particular that they occur at room temperature in an unexpected manner and Are plastically deformable and at the same time can absorb significantly more mechanical energy. This together leads to a significant increase in strength of the moldings.

Diese deutlich verbesserten Eigenschaften sind neben der konkreten Legierungszusammensetzung vor allem durch Einstellung der erfindungsgemäßen Gefügestruktur erreicht worden. Die homogene Mikrostruktur weist dabei erfindungsgemäß einen relativ hohen Volumenanteil (40 bis 80 Vol.-%) an martensitischer (trz - tetragonal raumzentriert) Phase auf. Dieser hohe Volumenanteil an martensitischer Phase führt zu den bekannten Eigenschaften von Eisenlegierungen allgemein.These significantly improved properties have been achieved in addition to the concrete alloy composition, especially by adjusting the microstructure according to the invention. In accordance with the invention, the homogeneous microstructure has a relatively high proportion by volume (40 to 80% by volume) of martensitic (tetragonal, body-centered) phase. This high volume fraction of martensitic phase leads to the known properties of iron alloys in general.

Durch den erfindungsgemäßen Volumenanteil (5 bis 35 Vol.- %) an austenitischer (kfz - kubisch flächenzentriert) Phase, und durch die weiterhin vorhandenen boridischen und/oder carbidischen und/oder nitridischen und/oder oxidischen Phasen werden dann deutlich verbesserten Eigenschaften erreicht.By virtue of the volume fraction (5 to 35% by volume) according to the invention of austenitic (kfz-cubic face-centered) phase, and by the boridic and / or carbidic and / or nitridic and / or oxidic phases which are still present, significantly improved properties are then achieved.

Dabei ist zu berücksichtigen, dass im Falle einer Legierungszusammensetzung mit einem geringen Anteil an einem oder mehreren Elementen der Gruppe Cr, V, Mo, W, Ti, Ta, Zr, Hf und Nb der Volumenanteil an austenitischer Phase ansteigen muss. Das ist dadurch bedingt, da diese Elemente der austenitischen Phase Kohlenstoff entziehen und carbidische Phasen bilden.It should be noted that in the case of an alloy composition with a small proportion of one or more elements of the group Cr, V, Mo, W, Ti, Ta, Zr, Hf and Nb, the volume fraction of austenitic phase must increase. This is because these elements withdraw carbon from the austenitic phase and form carbide phases.

Ist jedoch der Kohlenstoffgehalt in der austenitischen Phase entsprechend hoch und wird dieser nicht durch die carbidbildenden Elemente entzogen, so führt dies zu einer Austenitstabilisierung durch den Kohlenstoff.However, if the carbon content in the austenitic phase is correspondingly high and is not removed by the carbide-forming elements, this results in austenite stabilization by the carbon.

Die erfindungsgemäßen Formkörper werden erfindungsgemäß hergestellt durch Mischen der Legierungsbestandteile und anschließendem Aufschmelzen. Dabei sollten durch die Legierungsbestandteile und das Schmelzgefäß möglichst wenige Zusätze und Verunreinigungen eingebracht werden.The shaped bodies according to the invention are produced according to the invention by mixing the alloy components and then melting. The alloy components and the melting vessel should contain as few additives and impurities as possible.

Nach dem Aufschmelzen wird die Schmelze in eine Form gegossen. Die Abkühlung der Schmelze in der Form muss dabei erfindungsgemäß mit einer Abkühlgeschwindigkeit von > 20 K/s, vorteilhafterweise zwischen 20 und 200 K/s realisiert werden, damit die erfindungsgemäße Gefügestruktur erreicht werden kann. Dabei wird durch die Wahl von höheren Abkühlgeschwindigkeiten die Bildung der martensitischen Phase gefördert.After melting, the melt is poured into a mold. The cooling of the melt in the mold must be realized according to the invention with a cooling rate of> 20 K / s, advantageously between 20 and 200 K / s, so that the microstructure according to the invention can be achieved. The choice of higher cooling rates promotes the formation of the martensitic phase.

Im Fall, dass im Gefüge keine oxidischen Phasen eingestellt werden sollen, ist es erforderlich, dass das Aufschmelzen und Formgießen der Legierung zu Formkörpern unter Ausschluss von Sauerstoff durchgeführt wird. Im diesem Falle wird bei Erschmelzen und Gießen des Formkörpers eine Schutzgasatmosphäre, beispielsweise bestehend aus Argon, eingesetzt.In the event that no oxide phases are to be set in the structure, it is necessary that the melting and casting of the alloy is carried out to form bodies in the absence of oxygen. In this case, a protective gas atmosphere, for example consisting of argon, is used during melting and casting of the shaped body.

Weiterhin kann vorteilhafterweise die Abkühlungsgeschwindigkeit der geschmolzenen Legierung durch die Wahl der Abmessung der Gussform gesteuert werden. Dabei spielen die Breite und Länge der Gussform und auch des herzustellenden Formkörpers nur eine untergeordnete Rolle. Entscheidend für die Steuerung der Abkühlgeschwindigkeit ist vor allem die Dicke des herzustellenden Formkörpers. Dabei gilt, je geringer die Dicke des herzustellenden Formkörpers ist, umso größer ist die Abkühlgeschwindigkeit. Daher kann auch mit den Abmessungen der entsprechenden Gussform die Abkühlgeschwindigkeit gesteuert werden. Vorteilhafte Dicken der herzustellenden Formkörper liegen im Bereich von 1 bis 30 mm, vorteilhafterweise im Bereich von 10 bis 20 mm oder 12 bis 20 mm. Dementsprechend können Gussformen ausgewählt werden, die solche Abmessungen aufweisen.Furthermore, advantageously, the cooling rate of the molten alloy can be controlled by the choice of the size of the mold. The width and length of the casting mold and also of the shaped body to be produced play only a minor role. Decisive for the control of the cooling rate is above all the thickness of the shaped body to be produced. In this case, the smaller the thickness of the shaped body to be produced, the greater the cooling rate. Therefore, the cooling rate can also be controlled with the dimensions of the corresponding mold. Advantageous thicknesses of the shaped bodies to be produced are in the range of 1 to 30 mm, advantageously in the range of 10 to 20 mm or 12 to 20 mm. Accordingly, molds having such dimensions can be selected.

Vorteilhafterweise bestehen solche Gussformen aus Kupfer, sogenannte Kupferkokillen. Typische Abmessungen derartiger Kokillen sind 70 x 120 x 14 mm3.Advantageously, such molds made of copper, so-called copper molds. Typical dimensions of such molds are 70 x 120 x 14 mm 3 .

Das Aufschmelzen der Legierungsbestandteile kann weiterhin vorteilhafterweise in einem Induktionsofen durchgeführt werden, wobei als Tiegelmaterial auch vorteilhafterweise Al2O3 eingesetzt wird.The melting of the alloy constituents can furthermore advantageously be carried out in an induction furnace, Al 2 O 3 also advantageously being used as the crucible material.

Die eingesetzten Legierungsbestandteile sollen vorteilhafterweise möglichst frei von Verunreinigungen und Zusätzen sein und durch das Aufschmelzen und Gießen der Legierung sollen ebenfalls möglichst wenig Verunreinigungen und Zusätze in die Schmelze und damit in den Formkörper eingebracht werden.The alloy constituents used should advantageously be as free as possible of impurities and additives, and as a result of the melting and casting of the alloy, as few impurities and additives as possible should also be introduced into the melt and thus into the shaped body.

Die Legierungsbestandteile werden vorteilhafterweise bis auf Temperaturen von 1400 - 1900 °C erwärmt und bei Temperaturen zwischen 1400 und 1500 °C in die Form gegossen.The alloy components are advantageously heated to temperatures of 1400-1900 ° C and poured at temperatures between 1400 and 1500 ° C in the mold.

Weiterhin ist es vorteilhaft, dass durch das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren anschließende Wärmebehandlungen überflüssig werden, da der erfindungsgemäße Formkörper seine besonderen mechanischen Eigenschaften bereits im Gusszustand aufweist.Furthermore, it is advantageous that subsequent heat treatments become superfluous as a result of the method according to the invention, since the shaped body according to the invention has its particular mechanical properties already in the cast state.

Der Nachweis der austenitischen, der martensitischen, der boridischen und/oder carbidischen und/oder nitridischen und/oder oxidischen Phasen und die Bestimmung der Größe und des Volumenanteils dieser Phasen kann über Röntgenbeugung, Rasterelektronenmikroskopie oder Transmissionselektronenmikroskopie erfolgen.The detection of the austenitic, the martensitic, the boridic and / or carbidic and / or nitridic and / or oxidic phases and the determination of the size and the volume fraction of these phases can be carried out by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy or transmission electron microscopy.
