Definitions
- An electrode for a spark plug according to the preamble of the independent claim is known, for example, from DE 10 2014 225 402 A1. Furthermore, a method for its production is known from this prior art.
- the production of the electrode and the connection of the base body to the wearing part according to the prior art require the use of strong laser beams at flat angles to the workpiece surface and are therefore comparatively complex.
- the electrode according to the invention can be produced comparatively simply and robustly using the method according to the invention.
- connection is strengthened overall, or the requirements to be made of the welded connection as such are relaxed, although the electrode is still in operation and is able to reliably withstand the stresses that occur in tests over the long term.
- the wear part can have the shape of a truncated cone, ie the shape of a body that is created when all points of a flat base are connected in a straight line with a tip and then through the area of the tip removes a section along a section plane that is parallel to the base.
- the base can be circular, in which case it is a truncated cylinder.
- the line connecting the center of the circle of the base with the tip can be perpendicular to the base, in which case it is a straight truncated circular cylinder, which is particularly preferred within the scope of the invention.
- the base body can have an undercut recess, that is to say a recess which widens in the direction from the surface towards the interior of the base body.
- the positive connection between the wearing part and the base body can result in particular from the fact that a part of the wearing part encompassing the base of the truncated cone is arranged in the undercut recess and a part of the truncated cone encompassing the cut surface of the truncated cone protrudes, with the truncated cone completely filling the undercut recess .
- the base body can be welded to the wearing part on parts of the edge surface of the recess or on the entire edge surface of the recess.
- the truncated cone starts from a right circular cone, so that it has an axis that is perpendicular to the base and the intersection of the truncated cone, and has a base radius rg and has a radius of intersection rs and has a height h.
- the base body has a flat surface on the side next to the recess, which is parallel to the base surface and the intersection surface of the truncated cone, and the base surface is spaced apart from the surface by a melting length lin in the axial direction, i.e. by the melting length lin lies beneath this surface. The wearing part is then in particular as it were accommodated in the base body or melted into the base body.
- 3mm>rg>2mm can be chosen.
- 1 mm>h>0.2 mm can be selected.
- the base body has a peripheral welding bead between the recess and the flat surface, which bears laterally on the outer surface of the wearing part, which increases the contact surface between wearing part and base electrode and thus improves the material bond.
- the nickel-based alloy contains predominantly nickel in relation to parts by weight. It can be NiAIxSiy or NiAIxSiyY, each with 4 > x+y > 1, e.g. NiAllSil.
- the iridium-based alloy predominantly contains iridium.
- it can consist entirely of precious metals. It can be IrRhzReu with 16 > z+u > 3, e.g. lrRh8Re3.
- the invention also relates to a spark plug which has at least one such electrode. It can be a center electrode and/or a ground electrode. Is.
- the ground electrode can be a roof electrode, side electrode and/or bracket electrode.
- Such electrodes or spark plugs can be produced using the following method steps produce:
- the method can be carried out in such a way that the electric current causes heating which is always lower than the melting temperature of the iridium-based alloy, for example always lower than 1600°C.
- the shape of the pre-wearing part then merges unchanged into the shape of the wearing part and a form fit between the base electrode and the wearing part can be produced in a particularly pronounced manner.
- the pre-wear part quickly penetrates into the pre-base body and it can the manufacturing process can be carried out in a short time.
- Figure 1 shows an example of a spark plug.
- FIG. 2 shows an example of an electrode according to the invention.
- FIG. 3 shows an example of the production of a center electrode according to the invention.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of a spark plug 1.
- the spark plug 1 has a metallic housing 2 with a thread 3 for mounting the spark plug 1 in an engine block.
- An insulator 4 is arranged inside the housing 2 .
- a center electrode 5 and a terminal bolt 7 are arranged inside the insulator 4 and electrically connected via a resistance element not shown here. In the example, the center electrode 5 protrudes beyond the combustion chamber side of the insulator 4.
- a ground electrode 6 is arranged on the combustion chamber end of the housing 2 . Which together with the center electrode 5 forms an ignition gap.
- the ground electrode 6 can be designed as a roof electrode, side electrode or bracket electrode.
- the bracket electrode has two legs, each of which is welded to the housing 2 with its leg 16 .
- the legs are at an angle of 30° to 180° to one another.
- the bracket electrode can be constructed in one piece or in several parts, with the individual parts being connected to one another by a material connection such as welding in the case of a multi-part construction.
- FIG. 2a shows a perspective view
- FIG. 2b shows a side view (left) or a section (right) of an electrode 5, 6 according to the invention.
- Figure 2c shows a separate view of wear part 10.
- the electrode 5, 6 has a base body 8 made from a nickel-based alloy and a wearing part 10 made from an iridium-based alloy.
- the wear part 10 is arranged on the base body 8 in such a way that it forms the ignition gap together with the opposite electrode 6, 5 or a second wear part arranged on the opposite electrode 6, 5.
- the wearing part 10 has the shape of a straight truncated cone of height h.
- the radius of the base g is rg and the radius of the cut surface s is rs.
- the ground electrode 8 has an undercut recess 9, i.e. the recess 9 tapers towards the outer surface 13 of the ground electrode
- a part (Ti) of the wearing part 10 encompassing the base area g of the truncated cone is arranged in the recess 9, and a part (Tv) of the truncated cone enclosing the cut surface s of the truncated cone protrudes from the recess 9 (towards the outside/above in FIG. 2b). .
- the truncated cone fills the undercut recess 9 completely and the base body 8 is welded to the wearing part 10 on the edge surface of the recess 9 .
- the outer surface 13 of the base body 8 is formed laterally next to the recess 9 as a flat surface which is parallel to the base g and the sectional area s of the truncated cone.
- the base area g is spaced apart from the flat surface in the axial direction by the melt-down length lin.
- the base body 8 consists of the material NiAllSilY and the wear body 10 consists of the material lrRh8Re3.
- the material of the welding bead 11 is the material of the base body 8, which was displaced in the production of the electrode 5, 6, in the formation of the recess 9 by the melting (English: “Inmelting") of the wear part 10 in the base body 8.
- the electrode 5, 6 described in this example can be produced as follows:
- Step VI providing a pre-base body with a planar surface made of a nickel-based alloy
- Step V2 providing a frustoconical pre-wear part made of an iridium base alloy
- Step V4 Electrical contacting of the pre-wear part and the pre-base body
- Step V5 Introduction of an electric current that flows between the pre-wear part and the pre-base body, so that the pre-base body heats up in the area of the support of the pre-wear part (for example, a maximum of 1400° C.), and melts; simultaneously
- step V6 Introduction of a mechanical force that acts between the pre-wear part and the pre-base body (step V6), for example 500 Newtons, resulting in:
- Step V7 Penetration of the pre-wear part into the pre-base body, with the material of the pre-base body displaced by the penetration being at least partially deposited on the peripheral surface of the pre-wear body as a welding bead, with the pre-wear part subsequently forming the wear part 10 and the preliminary body forms the body 8 .
