Definitions
- the present invention relates to a component for media-carrying gas or water pipes, in particular fitting or fitting for drinking water pipes, wherein the component consists at least partially of a lead-free copper alloy.
- the materials used to protect consumers must comply with very narrow limits, which are regulated by the Drinking Water Ordinance.
- the in the EP 1 798 298 A1 described alloy shows a comparison with a conventional gunmetal improved migration behavior for lead, nickel, copper and zinc ions.
- the alloy can be subjected to a heat treatment after casting in order to achieve a high proportion of ⁇ -mixed crystal and thus a particularly favorable migration behavior of the alloy.
- Lead is practically insoluble in copper and has a low melting point. As a result, it is the last solidifying element in copper-tin alloys.
- This constitutional behavior leads to lead being present in the structure at the end of the solidification in the form of evenly distributed, small, drop-shaped particles between the dendrite arms.
- These fine, teardrop-shaped particles act as chipbreakers without affecting the original properties of the material. This is particularly evident in the corrosion resistance, since the lead particles are present as incoherent phases and thus can not interact with the surrounding matrix. Also, the uniform distribution of small, teardrop-shaped lead particles ensures that similar mechanical characteristics are consistently to be expected over a uniform cross section.
- Patent US 8,470,101 B2 a lead-free alloy is described, which in addition to copper and unavoidable impurities from 0.1 wt .-% to 0.7 wt .-% sulfur, up to 8 wt .-% tin and up to 4 wt .-% zinc, and in the task of the lead over sulfur phases in the form of sulfide particles are fulfilled.
- these sulfides do not have the property of forming themselves inevitably at the end of the solidification in the form of small, distributed phases.
- an unfavorably chosen composition of in Patent US 8,470,101 B2 Alloy described may lead to unfavorable sulfide formation in the structure.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a lead-free copper alloy for the production of components for media-carrying gas or water lines, which in comparison with a conventional gunmetal alloy, such as, for example, CuSn5Zn5Pb2, a corrosion-resistant matrix, good strength properties with good machining properties, high pressure tightness and improved migration behavior.
- a conventional gunmetal alloy such as, for example, CuSn5Zn5Pb2
- the lead-free copper alloy should have a good casting behavior, eg. In sand or continuous casting.
- the lead-free copper alloy shows no dezincification or similar selective corrosion attack. Therefore, the lead-free copper alloy has improved corrosion resistance over the entire frame prescribed by the Drinking Water Ordinance (hereinafter referred to as "TWVO"). Accordingly, the present invention preferably represents a component for media-carrying gas or water pipes, in particular a fitting or a fitting for drinking water pipes, wherein the component consists at least partially of the lead-free copper alloy according to the invention.
- the tin content has an influence on the strength, corrosion resistance and on the phase distribution and, in the claimed range from 3.5% by weight to ⁇ 4.8% by weight, achieves an optimally balanced, economical ratio of the properties described above.
- a tin content of more than 4.8% by weight the strength and corrosion resistance in the matrix continue to increase, but under normal cooling conditions in sand casting, the distribution of the sulfides becomes coarser and the size increases.
- At levels below 3.5% by weight of tin there is insufficient corrosion inhibition.
- a high tensile strength can be achieved at levels above 4.8% by weight of tin, the elongation values of the material are reduced. Contents of well over 4.8 wt .-% tin lead to the formation of a structure which embrittlement and unfavorable effect on the processing.
- the sulfur content of 0.25 wt .-% to 0.65 wt .-% determines the volume fraction of the sulfides with. From 0.25 wt .-% sulfur, an amount of sulfide particles is produced, which ensures sufficient machinability of the alloy. Sulfur content above 0.65 wt% sulfur can lead to the formation of undesirable coarse sulfide particles. In addition, due to the high content of sulfide particles, the load transmitted cross section, i. the cross-section of the component which receives voltages from the outside, reduce so much that it leads to a deterioration of the mechanical characteristics, such. Elongation at break and the like comes.
- the metal sulfides are present in such a sulfur content in the lead-free copper alloy as an incoherent, finely divided, disperse phase in the form of finely divided particles. This offers the advantage that any corrosion occurring only to a small extent locally on these particles and not along contiguous, larger, individual phases of the alloy structure takes place, as is the case for example with standard brass. Due to the small size of the particles no significant corrosive attack takes place.
- the proportion of phosphorus (P) in the lead-free copper alloy according to the invention is 0.015 wt .-% to 0.1 wt .-%. Below 0.015% by weight of phosphorus, there is no sufficient deoxidation of the melt, which has a negative effect on the phase formation of the alloy. On the other hand, if the phosphorus content exceeds 0.1 wt%, the lead-free copper alloy tends to have adverse effects on the mechanical properties such as reduced elongation at break. From these viewpoints, the weight proportion of phosphorus in the lead-free copper alloy is preferably in the range of 0.02 wt% to 0.08 wt%, more preferably in the range of 0.04 wt% to 0.06 wt%. -%.
- the term "lead-free copper alloy” means a copper alloy containing, in particular, lead as an unavoidable impurity in an amount of not more than 0.25 wt%, but preferably 0.09 wt%, more preferably not more than 0 , 05 wt .-% includes.
- the lead content is at most 0.25 wt .-%, preferably at most 0.09 wt .-% and particularly preferably at most less than or equal to 0.05 wt .-%.
- the alloy shows no signs of increased lead delivery in the first few weeks.
- the low lead content in the alloy used in the invention thus leads to a significant reduction of metal ion migration in drinking water, the low lead content has no negative effects on the chip breaking and thus on the machinability of the alloy used in the invention.
- the nickel content in the alloy used in the invention is at most 0.4 wt .-%, preferably, the nickel content is at most 0.3 wt .-%.
- the addition of nickel increases the corrosion resistance of the alloy, without being in conflict with hygienic safety. Similar to lead, the values of nickel migration are far below the legally required limit when tested according to DIN EN 15664-1.
- an antimony content of at most 0.1% by weight with respect to the properties of the drinking water migration is not critical.
- the alloy may furthermore have an iron content of at most 0.3% by weight.
- the lead-free copper alloy may also contain fractions of the elements iron (Fe), zirconium (Zr) and / or boron (B) alone or in a combination of at least two of said elements as grain refiner. It is preferred that iron in a weight fraction of up to 0.3 wt .-%, zirconium in a weight fraction of up to 0.01 wt .-% and / or boron in a weight fraction of up to 0.01 wt. -% are contained in the lead-free copper alloy.
- the grain finers avoid hot cracking and affect the mechanical properties, such as e.g. Tensile strength, material hardness and the like positive.
- the copper content of the lead-free copper alloy is at least 90% by weight, preferably more than 91% by weight.
- the sulfides of the lead-free copper alloy are homogeneously distributed in the structure.
- the number of sulfide particles should be high and their average size should be low in order to ensure uniform mechanical properties, good corrosion resistance, improved machinability and high pressure tightness over the entire microstructure.
- copper sulfide is preferable. because the presence of copper sulphide allows to substitute the volume of lead with a much lower content of sulfur.
- the component according to the invention at least partially has a wall thickness in the range of 0.5 mm to 6.0 mm, since the thin wall thickness leads to suitable for the formation of copper sulfides cooling rates. Furthermore, it is preferred if the entire component according to the invention has a wall thickness within the ranges of 0.5 mm to 4.0 mm, since a wall thickness in this range results in a particularly increased formation of the desired sulfide particles. A wall thickness below 0.5 mm could not have sufficient mechanical strength of the component according to the invention due to the small cross section. From these points of view, it is preferred that the component according to the invention at least in sections has a wall thickness in the range of 1.0 mm to 4.0 mm.
- At a wall thickness of less than 6 mm in the transverse section of the component according to the invention at least a proportion of 1.6 area percent sulfide particles and / or a surface area factor ASP% is less than 1000.
- Such values result in sulfur sulfides being present as an incoherent, finely divided, disperse phase. As a result, deep trough and / or hole-shaped attacks, in particular corrosion attacks, are avoided on the components according to the invention.
- the term "Area Property Code ASP%" is the mathematical description for the measure of the shape and location of a bell curve, which is a plot of the averages of the area classes (abscissa) in combination with the percent distribution of the sulfide particles in those area classes (ordinates ) yields (cf. Fig. 1 ).
- the value of the surface content index ASP% is obtained by measuring the area of the respective particles, for example from an enlarged image of a micrograph, the percentage allocation of the particles detectable in the image in classes, the multiplication of the percentage values of the allocation with the mean of the class and the formation of a large average from the resulting averages of the classes, with the large mean being taken as the "area key figure ASP%".
- the alloy used in the invention has the excellent property of forming a topcoat very rapidly on the inner, water-wetted surface.
- the cover layer has a thickness of preferably at least 2 ⁇ m, more preferably of at least 3 microns, on. This covering layer increases the corrosion resistance and ensures the longevity of the components made of this material, since further corrosion is prevented. Migration from the material to the drinking water can only take place if corrosion processes take place in the material.
- the top layer thus acts as a protective layer and limits the further metal delivery to the drinking water to a minimum.
- the copper content in the described alloy is higher than in conventional gunmetal alloys, such. As CuSnZn5Pb2, only a reduced copper metal release takes place.
- the term "component for media-carrying gas or drinking water pipes” is to be understood in particular as those components which come into contact with a domestic installation pipe system with water, in particular with drinking water, wherein fitting and fittings of such domestic installation pipe systems are preferred according to the invention.
- a fitting is in particular from the EP 2 250 421 A1 to call known connector.
- Fig. 2 shows a Turner diagram for the test waters used in the thermal aging test.
- the carbonate hardness (as a measure of water hardness) is plotted against the chloride ion content of the test water.
- the line labeled "Turner Classic” represents the corrosion characteristic of dezincification developed by Turner (" The Influence of Water Composition on the Dezincification of Duplex Brass Fittings ", 1965 ). According to the usual interpretation of the world of corrosion, there is no dezincification in the area below this line. Above this line, however, there is a very high risk that a damage due to dezincification of the relevant component occurs.
- the points shown give an overview of the different test waters that were used in the described hot swapping test.
- test specimens For the production of test specimens, half cylinders with a wall thickness of 5 mm were cast from the alloys 1 and 2. Thereafter, the test specimens were on the outside by means of a turning to a roughness Rz of max. Machined 25 ⁇ m and on the inside by means of a drilling with a through hole of roughness Rz of max. 40 ⁇ m provided. This special surface treatment is intended to allow comparability of the specimens with real manufactured components.
- test specimens The surface of the specimens was cleaned with acetone. Subsequently, the test specimens were placed freely hanging in a test container. The test containers were then placed in a 90 ° C oven for five months with the test medium changed at seven-day intervals.
- test media were each 21 different test water with different pH values and carbonate hardness (the carbonate hardness (KH) is that proportion of calcium and magnesium ions for which an equivalent concentration of bicarbonate ions is present in the unit volume), in addition, different levels of chloride ions and / or sulfate ions.
- KH carbonate hardness
- Table 2 ⁇ u> Table 2: ⁇ / u> water number PH value Carbonate hardness in ° dH Chloride in mg / l Sulfate in mg / l 1 8th 0.5 10 - 2 8th 0.5 100 - 3 8th 0.5 250 - 4 8th 0.5 1000 - 5 8th 1.5 15 - 6 8th 1.5 60 - 7 8th 1.5 140 - 8th 8th 3.0 30 - 9 8th 3.0 100 - 10 8th 5.5 80 - 11 8th 5.5 120 - 12 8th 5.5 250 - 13 7 9.0 100 - 14 7 9.0 160 - 15 7 14.0 140 - 16 7 18.0 40 - 17 7 18.0 100 - 18 7 18.0 250 - 19 8th 0.5 250 250 20 8th 5.5 250 250 21 7 18.0 250 250 250
- test containers After completion of the five-month test period, the test containers are removed from the oven, cooled to room temperature, taken the test specimens from the respective test containers, dried, cut open and the cut surface is examined by appropriate optical microscopy.
- Alloys 1 and 2 showed over the entire area of the drinking water ordinance tested in hot aging an outstanding formation of a protective, adherent, closed covering layer required for copper alloys which has a thickness of at least 2 ⁇ m in the hot aging test and thus an improved covering layer with respect to a conventional lead-containing copper alloy based on a CuSnZn alloy (eg CuSn5Zn5Pb). Furthermore, this layer is virtually free of defects or defects and thus unfolds their full protection by avoiding a deeper, local corrosion attack (see Fig. 4 and Fig. 6 ).
- Fig. 4 shows the behavior of the cover layer formation of a lead-free copper alloys (alloy 1 and alloy 2) used according to the invention after a five-month hot aging test for the respective test waters. It turns out that it only comes to the formation of a protective topcoat. There is no visible selective corrosion attack.
- the thickness of the formed, adherent, protective cover layer is at least 4 microns.
- FIG. 5 is a photograph of the standard brass (CuZn40Pb2) microstructure as a result of an exemplary corrosive attack after the 5 month hot aging test, based on Turner, with a chloride content of 250 mg / l and a carbonate hardness of 5.5 ° dH.
- a non-uniform, partially disturbed structure of the cover layer and the selective corrosion attack in the form of a dezincification is clearly visible.
- FIG. 6 a photograph of the microstructure of a result of the five-month hot aging test, based on Turner, with a chloride content of 250 mg / l and a carbonate hardness of 5.5 ° dH, on an inventive component of the alloy 2 (Alloy 1 shows an analogous behavior ) was carried out.
- microstructure shows in the component according to the invention after an identical heat aging test no selective corrosion attack, but a uniform, homogeneous structure of a protective, adherent cover layer with a thickness of 4 microns to 23 microns.
- the alloy in the hot aging test carried out here is free from selective corrosion attacks (eg dezincification and stress corrosion cracking) and almost all other corrosion phenomena.
- Fig. 7 represents a thermal analysis in a temperature-time diagram, which can be used to detect thermal effects on metals (for example, release of latent heat), which can occur in solid-to-liquid or phase-to-solid phase transformations.
- Plotted is the cooling temperature of the alloy and the first time derivative of the measurement signal against the time, which is described as the cooling rate.
- a change in the peak in the cooling rate curve corresponds to a thermal effect in the material.
- sulfide formation should be aimed for shortly before the end of solidification at low temperature, since in this way the sulfides, like the lead, are distributed more homogeneously in the microstructure.
- the cooling rate in Fig. 7 corresponds to the typical solidification process of a copper-tin alloy to 5 wt .-% tin in sand casting.
- alloy 3 at about 400 s, an early thermal effect occurs during the course of solidification, which is due to sulfide formation.
- the sulfide formation takes place delayed, shortly before the end of the solidification.
- the fact that both samples have been cooled under identical conditions is underpinned by the further cooling rate profile of the samples, which is identical after phase formation.
- the varying time of phase formation is thus due to the different zinc content in the alloys.
- Early sulfide formation affects the sulfide form and distribution in the microstructure.
- the early formation of sulfide in alloy 3 leads to a heterogeneous, partial phase distribution, which adversely affects the mechanical characteristics such as elongation.
- the material composition is adjusted in a way that avoids premature sulfide formation and promotes homogeneous distribution.
- Des shimmer was recognized that the cooling conditions of the melt to a component according to the invention, have an influence on the sulfide formation.
- a high cooling rate which is preferred for a thin wall, results in a fine-meshed dendritic network with fine residual melt areas, from which a globular formation of the sulfides is supported.
- rapid cooling is preferred according to the invention.
- Fig. 10 and Fig. 11 shows micrographs of components according to the invention of an identical melt which has been cooled under varying conditions. In a rapid cooling, the micrograph in Fig. 11 a structure that leads to higher mechanical characteristics, such as tensile strength, elongation at break and the like.
- the particles were examined and characterized by means of image analysis on microstructures of the test specimens.
- the volume of sulfides and the surface area can be determined by means of this image analysis.
- the alloys used in accordance with the invention can be characterized by a surface area factor ASP% of less than 1000.
