Definitions

  • the invention relates to a molding composition comprising at least one sugar component, a mold for a molding process from this molding composition, and a method for molding a workpiece with a mold.
  • Molds in particular lost molds, are used in the molding of workpieces in various molding processes, for example in the production of metallic, ceramic or polymeric workpieces by press, injection molding, casting, injection molding, powder injection molding or, in the case of fiber composite workpieces, by the laminating method .
  • the shape is typically a negative of at least part of the three-dimensional design of a workpiece.
  • shape denotes a model, in particular a lost shape, a lost core or a support structure.
  • Plastics are mainly processed in the injection molding process: Usually thermoplastic, but also thermosetting or elastomeric plastic powders, granules or pastes are heated and compressed to 150 - 300 ° C in a heated cylinder with a piston or rotating screw (extruder) until they are plasticized and then injected into a shaping, water-cooled, mostly steel, two-part cavity at pressures of 500 - 2000 bar. After cooling and curing or vulcanizing, the workpiece can pass through Opening of the cavity can be removed.
  • lost molds or mold cores are also used here: These cores are made on the one hand from low-melting metal alloys (melting alloys) such as Wood's metal or Roses metal by casting, which are removed from the injection molding by melting or consist, for example, of water-soluble polyacrylate polymers, which in turn were produced by injection molding. Melt-core injection molding can also be used to manufacture fiber-reinforced plastic workpieces, see, for example, EP 1 711 334 A2.
  • powder injection molding which is also known as metal injection molding for sinterable powders such as metallic powders (typically sintered ferrous and non-ferrous metals, hard metals, metal composite materials), ceramic powders (typically ceramics (cermets) , Oxide ceramics, nitride ceramics, carbide ceramics and functional ceramics) also called ceramic injection mol ding and special polymer powders such as Teflon are used.
  • sinterable powders such as metallic powders (typically sintered ferrous and non-ferrous metals, hard metals, metal composite materials), ceramic powders (typically ceramics (cermets) , Oxide ceramics, nitride ceramics, carbide ceramics and functional ceramics) also called ceramic injection mol ding and special polymer powders such as Teflon are used.
  • Injection molding compounds consisting of metallic, ceramic or polymeric particles (or mixtures of such particles), auxiliary substances such as lubricants and (organic) binders are used.
  • the so-called green compact is largely removed by dissolving the binder in water or suitable solvents or by thermal treatment.
  • the resulting, almost binder-free brown product is then sintered to the finished workpiece in a material-specific, thermal process.
  • special binders can also remain in the green compact in order to modify the properties of the workpiece.
  • Powder injection molding can also be used to manufacture composite materials, such as fiber composite materials.
  • Sinterable metallic, ceramic or polymeric powders can also be processed into workpieces by discontinuous pressing processes, whereby composite materials, e.g. Fiber composite materials can be produced.
  • molding compounds consisting of ceramic, metallic or polymeric particles, auxiliary materials such as e.g. Lubricants and (organic) binders are produced, which are introduced into press molds (press dies) made of wear-resistant steel or hard metals.
  • the molding compounds can be processed dry (dry pressing) or wet (wet pressing), cold (cold pressing), warm (hot pressing) or hot (pressure sintering).
  • the molding compound to be pressed - usually dry and powdery - is introduced into a closable elastic mold (e.g. made of polyurethane, silicone or rubber) and usually by shaking (vibration compaction) ) pre-compressed.
  • the mold is now introduced into the so-called recipient (a pressure-tight, closable container) filled with liquid (usually water, oil or oil-water mixtures), more rarely gas, which is closed.
  • the shape is then isostatically pressed due to the even distribution of pressure in the liquid or the gas, so that the compression does not take place axially, but from the outside inside.
  • the particles to be compressed cover a much shorter distance in isostatic pressing than in axial pressing methods.
  • the resulting green compact has its highest compression and thus, after sintering, the highest strength on the surface, where it is also used in the finished workpiece, whereby the density distribution and the resulting strength distribution have a much lower gradient than in axial pressing processes .
  • Isostatic pressing is usually done cold (cold isostatic pressing), but can be used when using gases as pressure medium such as argon and elastic Molds made of metal containers (so-called capsules) can also be carried out hot (hot isostatic pressing), in which case pressure sintering is already possible in the latter case.
  • hot isostatic pressing hot isostatic pressing
  • the excess pressure of the pressure medium is released and the green body is removed from the elastic form.
  • the further treatment to the sintered end product is carried out in the same way as in the second powder injection molding, with binders being removed by subsequent process steps or being able to remain in the green body in a targeted manner.
  • molds or mold cores made of water-soluble, meltable or burnable substances can also be used in uniaxial, coaxial or isostatic pressing in order to be able to produce workpieces with cavities and undercuts.
  • mold cores also come from e.g.
  • lost models of the workpiece are produced from special meltable or water-soluble waxes (e.g. based on polyethylene glycol or polyacrylate) or burn-out thermoplastic materials (e.g. from foamed polyurethane or polystyrene), for example using injection molding technology with aluminum or steel tools.
  • a model can additionally be provided with water-soluble, meltable or burnable lost cores.
  • slip a ceramic mass for the production of a molded shell, consisting of a refractory, fine powder and a binder, for example ethyl silicate.
  • the model wetted with slip is then sprinkled with sand and dried.
  • Modern fiber-plastic composites consist of a matrix (e.g. from thermosets such as synthetic resins, more rarely from thermoplastics) and several layers of fiber fabrics, scrims, knitted fabrics, mats, tiles etc. with different main fiber directions.
  • Particularly tear-resistant fibers are used, e.g. Glass fibers, carbon fibers (carbon fibers), ceramic fibers, polyaramid fibers, steel fibers, polyamide fibers, polyester fibers, cellulose fibers, etc.
  • the fibers are placed on a shaped body and impregnated with the not yet hardened / solidified matrix. The layer is compressed, deaerated and excess matrix removed by pressing with a roller. This process is repeated layer by layer until the desired material thickness is reached. The workpiece is then cured thermally at normal pressure or in a vacuum until the matrix material has cured.
  • Other automatable lamination processes are resin transfer molding (RTM), high pressure resin transfer molding (HD-RTM) and structural reaction injection molding (SRIM).
  • lost shapes are used for complex workpiece geometries with cavities and undercuts.
  • An example of this are CFRP mountain bike handlebars, which use the CAVUS project procedure (see http://www.polyurethanes.basf.de/pu/solutions/de/content/group/innovation/concepts/Cavus and http: //www.ktm-technologies.com/ête/cavus): lost molds and cores made from sand-binder mixtures are used here to be able to produce the extremely light but high-strength, complex-shaped and internally hollow mountain bike handlebars.
  • the lost mandrel is covered with a carbon fiber knitted tube and processed to the finished workpiece in a few minutes at 200 bar in an HD-RTM process.
  • lost core is then removed in a water bath, dissolving the water-soluble binder.
  • lost molds are formed in the prior art from metals or alloys with low melting temperatures, from thermoplastic materials or from waxes. These materials per se or in their processing have a number of disadvantages:
  • Melting alloys such as Wood's metal, Roses metal etc. are reusable to a limited extent, but are toxic due to the heavy metals they contain, such as lead and cadmium.
  • the relatively high density makes handling particularly difficult with large mold core volumes due to the high weight.
  • Modern, heavy metal-free melting alloys e.g. based on indium, bismuth and tin are not toxic, but their price is significantly higher in the order of magnitude.
  • Table 1 shows the mechanical properties of such melt alloys and some of their alloy components.
  • the pure metals lead, tin and indium are i as core materials because of their softness i.
  • A. Not suitable, pure indium is far too expensive.
  • Pure bismuth is significantly harder and therefore suitable for mold cores, but, as already mentioned, also relatively expensive; it is also relatively brittle and can break relatively easily.
  • the melting alloys listed show relatively good hardness, but are either toxic (alloy components Pb, Cd) or very expensive (alloy components In).
  • Bismuth-tin alloys seem to be relatively well suited (hardness, tensile strength, toxicity), but are also in the price range of 100 - 200 euros / L.
  • indium and bismuth are also classified as "Hazardous waste according to the Ordinance on Waste Catalogs (AVV)" (http://gestis.itrust.de) according to the GESTIS database of the German Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, and thus generate disposal costs .
  • melts of the metal alloys mentioned show maximum viscosities of a few mPa s, which, when the lost molds or mold cores are melted out, together with the high density, makes it easy to drain from cavities with narrow cross sections. Nevertheless, it can be expected that metallic residues cannot be avoided, which can lead to problematic metal and metal oxide vapors (especially in the case of alloys containing heavy metals) and also the end product at the required more or less high temperatures of the various shaping processes in processing strain.
  • lost molds and mold cores made of, for example, thermoplastic materials are orders of magnitude cheaper, so that, in contrast to metals, one-time use can be economical.
  • the density of suitable plastics is in the range of approx. 0.9 to 1.2 g / cm 3 (see table 2) and thus significantly lower than that of metal alloys, which makes handling large mold cores easier.
  • the thermal removal of the lost plastic mold cores requires the post-treatment of the resulting decomposition gases, which usually contain toxic components (e.g. NOx in polyurethanes, polycyclic aromatics, monomers, etc.).
  • toxic components e.g. NOx in polyurethanes, polycyclic aromatics, monomers, etc.
  • Molded cores made of water-soluble waxes (e.g. based on polyethylene glycol) or water-insoluble waxes (e.g. paraffins) can only be used to a very limited extent at low pressures, e.g. in investment casting.
  • the object is also achieved by a mold for a molding process, the mold being a compact three-dimensional structure made up of the mold composition according to the invention.
  • a mold composition according to the invention can be used as such (without further additives) to produce a mold.
  • the invention relates to a method for shaping a workpiece, comprising the steps
  • the at least one shape is a shape according to the invention, ie is a compact three-dimensional structure made up of a shape composition according to the invention.
  • the molding composition according to the invention comprises a sugar component as an essential component, preferably in terms of quantity as the main component.
  • the sugar component is understood to mean a mono-, di- or oligosaccharide (sugar / saccharides) or a sugar alcohol derived from such a saccharide, a hydrate of a sugar or a sugar alcohol or a mixture thereof.
  • Sugar and sugar alcohols have long been known, extremely inexpensive, non-toxic and readily available substances, which are widely used in the field of food production as sweeteners or in the production of pharmaceutical preparations as e.g. find tablettable matrices or other excipients ("Pharmaceutical excipients"; Schmidt, Lang, 2013, Govi-Verlag Pharmaceutischer Verlag GmbH, Eschborn, ISBN 978-3-7741-1298-8).
  • a composition comprising a sugar component can be provided as a compact three-dimensional structure and as such is suitable as a mold for various molding processes, for example in the process according to the invention for molding a workpiece. Due to the glass-like surface, low porosity, high strength, low density and good formability, molds made from the mold composition according to the invention have proven to be suitable for transferring a three-dimensional contour when the mold comes into contact with a material to be molded, for example in the production of ceramic workpieces .
  • the shapes can be used in particular for imaging internal areas such as undercuts and cavities because they are easily melted out by the sugar component, burned out or soluble with hydrophilic solvents such as water. The shape is therefore preferably used as a lost shape.
  • the sugar components are also very inexpensive, readily available, non-toxic and easy to dispose of (commercial waste, sewage treatment plant).
  • the structure of the mold is achieved if the mold composition is provided as a (cooled) melt or a compressed material.
  • the mold composition can be shaped by melting the sugar component, mixing with the additive (or vice versa) and pouring the mold composition, e.g. by casting in appropriate silicone molds to obtain mechanically stable molds after cooling.
  • Other methods that are conceivable include injection molding, 3D printing or direct pressing without melting. These processes are known in food production (e.g. hard caramels) or in the pharmaceutical industry.
  • the mold composition according to the invention and the mold according to the invention further comprise at least one additive.
  • the additive has the surprising effect that the mold from the mold composition has an even higher mechanical strength.
  • the fracture formation and fracture continuation in a structure made from the sugar component could be reduced by adding a relatively small amount of an additive without impairing the formability or other advantageous properties compared to a shape consisting only of a sugar component.

As a result, the properties of a compact three-dimensional structure made from a mold composition containing such sugar components are less suitable for some applications. If the mold has a relatively large surface area, is exposed to moist air for a relatively short time or not at all, and / or if the application permits a tolerance, molding compositions with hygroscopic properties may also be suitable.
