Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an aluminum-bronze-based material having high wear resistance in high-temperature environments.
  • copper alloys such as high-strength brass castings are generally used in sliding members such as exhaust valve bushes.
  • Patent Literature 1 discloses a copper-based bearing sliding material which contains 3 to 15% by mass of Al, 1 to 8% by mass of Mn, 0.05 to 5% by mass of Si, 0.5 to 5% by mass of Ni, and 1 to 10% by mass of Fe, with the remainder being unavoidable impurities and Cu, in which an Fe-Mn-Si-based hard material is dispersed.
  • Patent Literature 2 discloses a copper-based alloy containing 6.5 to 10% by mass Al, 6.0 to 12.0% by mass Mn, 1.5 to 2.5% by mass Fe, 0.8 to 2.5% by mass Si, 0.4 to 1.5% by mass Co and 1.0 to 2.0% by mass Ni.
  • Patent Literature 1 the hardness of the matrix material of the known aluminum bronze-based sliding member as disclosed in Patent Literature 1 decreases in high-temperature environments (for example, a high-temperature environment at 150°C to 350°C). Accordingly, the allowable surface pressure value is lowered, and it cannot be said that wear resistance is sufficient. Thus, a further sophisticated material is demanded to be supplied in order to reduce the replacement frequency of sliding members in industrial machines which are used in adverse environments where the replacement is not easy.
  • the present invention has been made to solve such a known problem, and an object thereof is to provide a material which has both surface pressure resistance and wear resistance not only in normal temperature environments but also in high-temperature environments.
  • the high temperature wear-resistant aluminum-bronze-based material according to the present invention is characterized in that an Al content is 9.0% by mass or more and 11.0% by mass or less, an Ni content is 1.0% by mass or more and 3.0% by mass or less, an Mn content is 8.5% by mass or more and 15.0% by mass or less, an Si content is 2.0% by mass or more and 4.0% by mass or less, an Fe content is 0.5% by mass or more and 5.0% by mass or less, and a Co content is 0.01% by mass or more and 1.5% by mass or less, with the remainder being substantially Cu.
  • a sliding member which has both surface pressure resistance and wear resistance even in high-temperature environments.
  • the reduction of the wear amount due to sliding movements enables the replacement frequency of a component such as a sliding member to be drastically reduced in industrial machines and molds of which sliding members are not easy to replace.
  • the high temperature wear-resistant aluminum-bronze-based material according to the present embodiment is a material which contains Al, Ni, Mn, Si, Fe, and Co in respective predetermined amounts in terms of % by mass, with the remainder being Cu.
  • the high temperature wear-resistant aluminum-bronze-based material according to the present embodiment has an Al content of 9.0% by mass or more and 11.0% by mass or less, and preferably 9.0% by mass or more and 10.0% by mass or less.
  • the matrix material can have an appropriate hardness of HV280 or more, thereby improving surface pressure resistance. It is noted that the hardness of the matrix material is measured by a method in accordance with JIS Z2243 2008.
  • the high temperature wear-resistant aluminum-bronze-based material according to the present embodiment has an Ni content of 1.0% by mass or more and 3.0% by mass or less, and preferably 1.5% by mass or more and 2.5% by mass or less.
  • Ni enables the solubility limit of Al in an ⁇ phase to be widened, and also the melting point of the matrix material to be increased thereby improving heat resistance.
  • the inclusion of Ni contributes to deposition of a hard material, together with Fe-Si-Mn described later.
  • the heat resistance of the matrix material is not satisfied.
  • the Ni content exceeds the above-described value range, there is the drawback that the matrix material is embrittled, and a manufactured product becomes expensive because Ni is a rare metal.
  • the high temperature wear-resistant aluminum-bronze-based material according to the present embodiment has a structure in which an Fe-Mn-Si-based hard material is dispersed, the wear resistance as a sliding member improves.
  • the high temperature wear-resistant aluminum-bronze-based material according to the present embodiment has an Mn content of 8.5% by mass or more and 15.0% by mass or less, preferably 8.5% by mass or more and 13.0% by mass or less, and more preferably 8.5% by mass or more and 10.0% by mass or less.
  • Mn content is within the above-described value range
  • Si, Mn and the like described later causes an Fe-Si-Mn-based hard material to be deposited in the matrix material, thereby improving wear resistance.
  • the matrix material can have suitable toughness.
  • the high temperature wear-resistant aluminum-bronze-based material according to the present embodiment has an Fe content of 0.5% by mass or more and 5.0% by mass or less, preferably 1.0% by mass or more and 5.0% by mass or less, and more preferably 1.5% by mass or more and 5.0% by mass or less.
  • Fe content is within the above-described value range, Fe is deposited together with Mn-Si and the like as a hard material in the matrix material, and particularly contributes to a finer structure of the above-described hard material, thereby improving the properties as a sliding member.
  • the high temperature wear-resistant aluminum-bronze-based material according to the present embodiment has an Si content of 2.0% by mass or more and 4.0% by mass or less, preferably 2.0% by mass or more and 3.0% by mass or less, and more preferably 2.5% by mass or more and 3.0% by mass or less.
  • Si content is within the above-described value range, Si, together with Mn and Fe, causes a eutectic hard material to be deposited, thereby improving sliding properties.
  • the high temperature wear-resistant aluminum-bronze-based material according to the present embodiment has a Co content of 0.01% by mass or more and 1.5% by mass or less. According to the present embodiment, the inclusion of Co improves heat resistance.
  • FIGs. 1 to 4 are each a diagram illustrating a configuration of a sliding member which adopts as a base material the high temperature wear-resistant aluminum-bronze-based material according to the present embodiment.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a plate-like sliding member 1 which is the type having no solid lubricant.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates a plate-like sliding member 2 which is the type having a plurality of pieces of a solid lubricant 3 embedded therein.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates a hollow cylindrical sliding member 4 which is the type having no solid lubricant.

It is noted that FIGs. 1 to 4 illustrate examples of the form of a sliding member, and the form of the sliding member is not limited to these embodiments .
  • a plurality of pieces of a solid lubricant having a self-lubricating action may be embedded in portions of a sliding surface formed from the high temperature wear-resistant aluminum-bronze-based material according to the present embodiment.
  • the solid lubricant according to the present embodiment to be used may include solid lubricants, such as a graphite-based solid lubricant, a PTFE-based solid lubricant, a MoS2-based solid lubricant, and a Pb alloy-based solid lubricant.
  • the provision of the sliding surface in which a solid lubricant is embedded causes the lubricant to be dispersed on the sliding surface even in high-temperature environments. Therefore, the high temperature wear-resistant aluminum-bronze-based material according to the present embodiment can have improved sliding properties, and becomes suitable as a sliding member.
  • the high temperature wear-resistant aluminum-bronze-based material according to the present embodiment have a Vickers hardness of HV280 or more, an elongation of 0.5% or more, and a tensile strength of 500 N/mm 2 or more.
