- the thermomechanical processing step can comprise any suitable step of thermomechanical transformation of the Pd-In alloy.
- the thermomechanical processing step can include performing hot pressing under vacuum (vacuum hot pressing or VHP), hot pressing under a protective gas (such as a noble gas) or of hot isostatic pressing (HIP), hot rolling, extrusion, forging, or continuous casting. More generally, the heating temperature can be between 900°C or 1000 °C and the melting point of the alloy.
- the step of hot pressing can be performed at controlled deformation rate of 0.1 to 100 mm/h, typically 0.1 to 10 mm/h, and more specifically 0.5 to 2 mm/h.
- the applied resulting load lies between 1 and 500 MPa, typically 10 to 100 MPa.
- the mechanical press can also be carried out at controlled load in the above-mentioned ranges.
- the step of hot pressing can be performed in an electrically heated furnace that is evacuated prior to heating. Heating can be performed at a rate of 5 to 20 K/min up to a heating temperature between 900°C and 1200°C, or preferably between 1000°C and 1200°C. At the heating temperature, the Pd-In alloy is ductile. After the heating temperature has been reached, the Pd-In alloy is uniaxially pressed and deformed at the constant heating temperature. After deformation, the component is cooled under vacuum down to 500 °C within approximately one hour and then in free cooling until room temperature is reached.
- the step of hot pressing can be performed at a heating temperature between 1050 and 1150°C.
- the step of hot pressing can be performed at constant deformation rate.
- the hot-pressing step comprises extruding thew alloy by passing it through a die, or mold, such as to form a wire having a diameter between 1 and 5 mm.
- a component having an initial diameter of about 10 mm can be extruded to yield a final diameter of about 4 mm.
- the Pd-In alloy typically has irregular grain size with a columnar structure representing up to 50% of the crystal structure.
- the expression "as-cast condition" has its usual meaning and refers to the Pd-In alloy that has not received finishing or treatment of any kind including heat treatment or hardening treatment, after casting
- the as-cast Pd-In alloy has coarse-grained and irregular microstructure with grains having different size and shape. Moreover, the microstructure at the surface differs from the microstructure the center of an as-cast Pd-In alloy.
- the as-cast Pd-In alloy further a significant amount of porosity significantly greater than 1 % and shows shrinkage-related porosity.
- the shrinkage-related porosity is caused by sections of a casting that solidify later than the surrounding sections, and do not have enough metal flow into the section to completely fill.
- the irregular and porous microstructure of the as-cast alloy results in poor and inhomogeneous mechanical properties of the alloy.
- the as-cast Pd-In alloy has fine precipitations in primary crystals. Thus, the as-cast Pd-In alloy is brittle.
- thermomechanical processing step modifies the granular structure of the Pd-In alloy and significantly reduces the zones with columnar structure, the porosity and the crystallographic inhomogeneities. The cohesion and the mechanical strength of the thermomechanically processed Pd-In alloy are thus strongly increased.
- the method further comprises a step of obtaining an injected component by injecting the thermomechanically processed Pd-In alloy into a die or a mold at an injection temperature that is above the heating temperature and below the liquidus temperature (homologous temperature Tm).
- the injected component retains the improved structure of the thermomechanically processed Pd-In alloy. Re-initiating the crystallization process in the Pd-In alloy is avoided.
- the step of obtaining an injected component is particularly interesting for the manufacture of serial parts in jewelry or watchmaking.
- Table 1 reports the composition of different components that were prepared by the method disclosed herein. The possible other elements contained in the Pd-In alloy at a maximum of 1.5 wt% are not reported in Table 1.
- Figs. 1a-f show SEM micrographs of metallographic cross sections of Pd-In alloys in the as-cast condition and made of a Pd-In alloy: 1H ( Fig. 1a ), 2A ( Fig. 1b ), 2B ( Fig. 1c ), 2ABCD ( Fig. 1d ), 2E ( Fig. 1e ), and 2F ( Fig. 1f ), showing the different microstructures depending on the composition.
- the different Pd-In alloys show a coarse-grained and irregular microstructure.
- the grain shapes are equiaxed ( Figs. 1a-1c , and 1e ) or columnar ( Figs. 1d and 1f ).
- Differences in the microstructure at the surface and the center of can be observed in the as-cast Pd-In alloys. Furthermore, the microstructure in the as-cast Pd-In alloys can show shrinkage porosity. Such irregular and porous structure has poor and inhomogeneous properties.
- Figs. 2a -f show SEM micrographs of metallographic cross sections of the components made of Pd-In alloys that have been submitted to the vacuum hot-pressing step at a heating temperature of 1100°C. More particularly, the different microstructures are shown for the component compositions: 1H ( Fig. 2a ), 2A ( Fig. 2b ), 2B ( Fig. 2c ), 2ABCD (Fig. 2db), 2E ( Fig. 2e), and 2F (Fig. 2e ). In the absence of Ru, the components 2E and 2F have large grain size (larger than 1000 ⁇ m). The presence of Ru in the alloy composition allows for decreasing the grain size.
- Components 1H, 2A, 2B and 2ABCD have grain size below 100 ⁇ m. More particularly, grain size between 30-50 ⁇ m was estimated for the component 2A, grain size of about 20 ⁇ m was estimated for the component 2B, grain size of about 100 ⁇ m was estimated for the component 1H, and grain size larger than 100 ⁇ m was estimated for the component 2ABCD.
- Component 2B comprising 1.5 wt% Al and 0,41 wt% Ru has the smallest grain size. The presence of Ru-precipitates in the Pd-In alloy inhibit grain growth.
- the grain size of the components listed in Table 1 were estimated using optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) measurements of metallographic cross sections.
- the component made of the Pd-In alloy has a modified microstructure. More particularly, the Pd-In alloy is deformed by the high heating temperature hot pressing step and recrystallizes. This results in a homogenization of the microstructure of the component ( Figs. 2a-f ).
- the grains have similar size and regular shape. The columnar grains disappear, and the pores are closed such that the component has a porosity of less than about 1%.
- the composition of the Pd-In alloy also influences the microstructure of the component as discussed below.
- Vacuum hot pressing significantly closes the shrinkage pores. Hot isostatic pressing can fully close the pores
- the hardness and the modulus of indentation were measured for the components listed in Table 1.
- the hardness was measured by using the hardness HV1 that corresponds to a Vickers hardness measured with a load of 1 kg (9,81N) using the measurement method defined in ISO 6507.
- the modulus of indentation was measured by using instrumented indentation with 500mN load, following the test specification DIN EN ISO 14577.
- Table 2 reports the hardness HV1 and modulus of indentation measured of different components that were prepared by the method whereby the components were submitted to a vacuum hot-pressing step at a heating temperature of 1100°C.
- Fig. 3 shows a graph reporting the hardness HV1 as a function of the Al content in the Pd-In alloy for the as-cast Pd-In alloy (squares) and for the component (circles).
- the measurements show that hardness HV1 increases linearly with increasing Al content for the as-cast Pd-In alloy and for the component.
- the hardness reaches a value of above 280 HV1 for Al contents of 1,5% or more for the as-cast Pd-In alloy and for the component.
- the modulus of indentation measurement remains unchanged.
- the component comprising between 46 and 56 wt% Pd, between 44 and 54 wt% In, and a maximum of 1.5 wt% of the other elements, after being subjected to the step of hot pressing, has non-columnar crystalline microstructure, and has a porosity of less than about 1%.
- the crystalline microstructure has grain size between 20 ⁇ m and 1000 ⁇ m.
- the presence of Ag in the Pd-In alloy decreases the hardness and increases the ductility of the alloy.
- the component comprising between 46 and 56 wt% Pd, between 44 and 54 wt% In, between 1 and 10 wt% Ag, and a maximum of 1.5 wt% of the other elements has a hardness of about 200 HV1
- the presence of Al in the Pd-In alloy increases the hardness of the alloy.
- the Pd-In alloy comprising between 46 and 56 wt% Pd, between 44 and 54 wt% In, between 0.5 and 2 wt% Al, was shown to yield a hardness HV1 between 220 and 320 HV1.
- the same component but comprising between 1.5 and 5 wt% Al has a hardness HV1 that is above 280 HV1.
- the increased hardness observed for the component obtained by the present method can be due to any one, or a combination, of: grain refinement (Hall-Petch-relationship), formation of a solid solution, precipitation, or/and dislocations. It should be noted that the hardness is not simply related to the grain size since solid solution, precipitates and dislocations can increase the hardness in coarse grains.
- the Pd-In alloy has homogeneous mechanical properties.
- the Pd-In alloy comprising between 46 and 56 wt% Pd, between 44 and 54 wt% In, between 0.05 and 2 wt% Ru, and a maximum of 1.5 wt% of the other elements has grain size below 100 ⁇ m. In the absence of Ru, grain size strongly increases up to 1000 ⁇ m.
- Fig. 4 illustrates a set-up of the bending test device 1.
- the test component 10 is placed on two supporting pins 20 a set distance D apart, against a support 40, and is subject to a load F concentrated at its centre (exerted on a loading pin 30).
- test components 10 were prepared in form of bars of about 3 x 3 x 25 mm and were loaded in the three-point bending test device 1 until breakage.
- the surface of each test component 10 was finely grounded to 1200 grain.
- Fig. 5 reports values for the maximum bending stress measured by using the three-point bending test according to DIN EN ISO 9693, as a function of the deflection d ef of the test components when the load F is applied on the test component.
- the bending stress is measured for three test components as-cast (No. 1-3) and three vacuum hot-pressed test components (No. 4-6), i.e., hot-pressed test components after the step of hot pressing under vacuum.
- Table 3 reports the maximum bending force and maximum bending stress measured with the three-point bending test according to DIN EN ISO 9693 for three test components as-cast (No. 1-3) and three vacuum hot-pressed test components (No. 4-6). Table 3 shows that the maximum bending force and the maximum bending stress measured for the vacuum hot-pressed test components increase about three to four times compared to the maximum bending force and the maximum bending stress measured for the test components as-cast. Table 3 No maximum bending force (N) maximum bending stress (MPa) cross-sectional area of test component 1 137 13.4 9.80 2 264 28.5 8.81 3 162 17.4 9.33 4 679 70.4 9.21 5 687 73.6 9.30 6 869 93.4 9.30
- the grains When the alloy of the vacuum hot-pressed test component comprises 0.2 wt% Ru, the grains have homogeneous size and distribution, and are non-columnar and their size varies between 100 ⁇ m and 500 ⁇ m. When the alloy of the vacuum hot-pressed test component comprises 0.5 wt% Ru, the grains have a size of 50 ⁇ m and without Ru the size was up to 1 mm.
- test components made of 50.5 wt%, Pd, 48.5 wt% In, 0.8 wt% Al and 0.2 wt% Ru corresponds to a hardened alloy, but embrittled by the presence of aluminum. In the absence of aluminum, the improvement in bending strength is superior because the alloy is less brittle, less hard and more ductile.
- thermomechanical processing step it is possible to obtain a component (made of the thermomechanically processed Pd-In alloy) that has bending stress that is at least two time greater that the bending stress of the Pd-In alloy in the as-cast condition.
- the bending stress is measured with the three-point bending test according to DIN EN ISO 9693 until breakage.
- the thermomechanically processed Pd-In alloy has a non-columnar crystalline microstructure and has a porosity of less than about 1%.
- Color properties of the component were measured by using the CIE Standard Illuminant D65 and a 10° observer (hereafter D65/10) on metallographically polished sample of the component.
- D65/10 CIE Standard Illuminant D65 and a 10° observer
- L stands for lightness
- a* is the green / red axis
- b* is the blue / yellow axis.
- the color difference (Delta E or ⁇ E) is the difference between two colors designated as two points in the Lab color space.
- a ⁇ E value smaller than 0.5 corresponds to almost imperceptible difference
- a ⁇ E value between 1 and 2 corresponds to a slight color difference
- a ⁇ E value between 2 and 4 corresponds to perceived color difference
- a ⁇ E value greater than 5 corresponds a different color.
- Table 4 reports the color values measured for the different components reported in Table 1. The ⁇ E value is determined by reference with component 1H.
- the component can have a color in the CIELAB color space of L* between 73 and 75, a* between 9.4 and 9.8, and b* between 9 and 10.5.
