Description
本発明は、ゴルフクラブヘッドの合金に関するもので、特に高強度、高硬度と重りの功能を有するゴルフクラブヘッドの合金に係るものである。 The present invention relates to a golf club head alloy, and more particularly to a golf club head alloy having high strength, high hardness, and weight.
従来のゴルフクラブヘッドの合金としては、通常としてASTM304規格のステンレス鋼の合金を鋳材とする。しかし、上記材質はASTM304規格のステンレス鋼そのものの合金性質を受けることにより、鋳造により製造されるヘッド本体とフェース板は約5.30897×108 Pa(約77ksi)の引張強度と約2.55106×108 Pa(約37ksi)の降伏強度しか達することができないため、その応力の受ける能力はやや不足になる。このように、フェース板に十分な応力の受ける能力を有し、そして永久な塑性変形を生じないように確保するべく、鋳造の製造工程においてフェース板は少なくとも3.3mmより大きくなるような安全な肉厚を有するように設計しなければならない。しかし、厚過ぎるフェース板ではゴルフクラブヘッドの全体の重量を相対的に高めるだけではなく、ゴルフクラブヘッドの全体の重心の位置を調整するのに不利になると共に、比較的薄い周壁部を有する超大型のゴルフクラブヘッドの製造には不適である。また、上記材質の硬度はHRB80から90しか達していないため、ヘッド本体の耐摩損性が相対的に減ってしまう。その他に、上記材質の比重は7.82しか達していないため、ゴルフクラブヘッドに重量調整の功能を提供することができないなどの問題点があった。 As an alloy of a conventional golf club head, an ASTM 304 standard stainless steel alloy is usually used as a casting material. However, since the above material is subjected to the alloy properties of ASTM 304 standard stainless steel itself, the head body and the face plate manufactured by casting have a tensile strength of about 5.30897 × 10 8 Pa (about 77 ksi) and about 2.55106. Since only a yield strength of × 10 8 Pa (about 37 ksi) can be reached, the ability to receive the stress is somewhat insufficient. Thus, in order to ensure that the face plate is capable of undergoing sufficient stress and that permanent plastic deformation does not occur, the face plate must be at least as safe as 3.3 mm in the casting manufacturing process. It must be designed to have a wall thickness. However, a face plate that is too thick not only increases the overall weight of the golf club head, but is also disadvantageous for adjusting the position of the overall center of gravity of the golf club head, and has a relatively thin peripheral wall. It is not suitable for manufacturing a large golf club head. Further, since the hardness of the above material reaches only 90 from HRB 80, the wear resistance of the head body is relatively reduced. In addition, since the specific gravity of the above material has reached only 7.82, there is a problem that it is not possible to provide the golf club head with the ability to adjust the weight.
このように、もしステンレス鋼合金そのものの引張強度、硬度と比重などの機械性質を相対的に高めることができるならば、同時に応力の受ける能力を高め、耐摩損性を増やし、さらに重心配置の功能を提供することができるという利点を有することになる。このように、上記のような従来のゴルフクラブヘッドの合金をさらに改良しなければならない。 Thus, if the mechanical properties such as tensile strength, hardness and specific gravity of the stainless steel alloy itself can be relatively enhanced, the ability to receive stress at the same time is increased, the wear resistance is increased, and the center of gravity arrangement is further improved. Will have the advantage that it can be provided. Thus, the conventional golf club head alloys as described above must be further improved.

再び表1を参照すると、従来のASTM 304規格のステンレス鋼合金の合金組成物の成分と比較すると、本発明のステンレス鋼合金にはタングステンの成分(5.0%から15.0%)と微量な添加物(1%以下のモリブデンと1%以下の銅)が含まれる。表1、2、3と写真1を比較して知ることができるように、本発明における炭素、シリコン、マンガン、クロム、燐、硫黄、ニッケル、タングステンとその他の金属成分の作用と利点は下記のとおりである。 Referring back to Table 1, the stainless steel alloy of the present invention has a tungsten component (5.0% to 15.0%) and a trace amount as compared with the components of the conventional ASTM 304 stainless steel alloy composition. Additive (1% or less molybdenum and 1% or less copper). As can be seen by comparing Tables 1, 2, 3 and Photo 1, the effects and advantages of carbon, silicon, manganese, chromium, phosphorus, sulfur, nickel, tungsten and other metal components in the present invention are as follows. It is as follows.
a)本発明の炭素の成分の比率は0.08%以下で、例えば選択的に0.07%、0.06%、0.05%または0.04%などである。このように、硬度と引張強度を増やすことができる。 a) The proportion of the carbon component of the present invention is 0.08% or less, for example, 0.07%, 0.06%, 0.05% or 0.04%, for example. Thus, hardness and tensile strength can be increased.
b)本発明のシリコンの成分の比率は0.5%から2.0%の間にあり、例えば選択的に0.7%、0.9%、1.1%、1.4%または1.7%などである。このように、溶融時の注入の流動性を増やすと共に、時効過程においてフェライト相から炭素化物を析出するのに役立つことができ、さらに鋳物の引張強度を6.20528×108 Pa(90ksi)から7.58424×108 Pa(110ksi)の間(表2に示すように)まで高めることができるため、フェース板の応力の受ける能力を相対的に増やし、さらにフェース板の肉厚の需要性を相対的に薄く抑えることができる。このように、フェース板の肉厚が薄くなることで節約される重量は全体のゴルフクラブヘッドのその他の部位に配置することができるため、ゴルフクラブヘッドの全体の重心位置を低く調整することができる。また、本発明をヘッド本体に応用される時、本発明は従来のステンレス鋼より比較的高い比重を有するため、ヘッド本体の慣性モーメントを高めることができ、さらにゴルフクラブヘッドの打球の性能を相対的に増やすことができる。 b) The proportion of the silicon component of the invention is between 0.5% and 2.0%, for example 0.7%, 0.9%, 1.1%, 1.4% or 1 selectively. 7%. In this way, it is possible to increase the fluidity of the injection at the time of melting, to help precipitate the carbonized product from the ferrite phase during the aging process, and to further reduce the tensile strength of the casting from 6.20528 × 10 8 Pa (90 ksi). Since it can be increased to 7.58424 × 10 8 Pa (110 ksi) (as shown in Table 2), the face plate's ability to receive stress is relatively increased, and the demand for the wall thickness of the face plate is further increased. It can be kept relatively thin. In this way, the weight saved by reducing the thickness of the face plate can be placed in other parts of the entire golf club head, so that the overall center of gravity position of the golf club head can be adjusted low. it can. In addition, when the present invention is applied to a head body, the present invention has a relatively higher specific gravity than conventional stainless steel, so that the moment of inertia of the head body can be increased, and the performance of a golf club head hit ball is relatively Can be increased.
c)本発明のマンガンの成分の比率は0.5%から2.0%の間にあり、例えば選択的に0.7%、0.9%、1.1%、1.4%または1.7%などである。このように、オーステナイト相を強化することができるため、均一な耐蝕性を増やすと共に、伸展性を高めることができ、さらにゴルフクラブヘッドの鋳造に役立ち、後続におけるホーゼルの角度調整の自由度を増やし、打球時の強靭性を高めることができる。 c) The proportion of the manganese component according to the invention is between 0.5% and 2.0%, for example 0.7%, 0.9%, 1.1%, 1.4% or 1 selectively. 7%. Since the austenite phase can be strengthened in this way, the uniform corrosion resistance can be increased, the extensibility can be increased, and further, it is useful for casting of a golf club head, and the degree of freedom for adjusting the angle of the hosel is increased. The toughness at the time of hitting can be improved.
d)本発明のニッケルの成分の比率は5.0%から15.0%の間にあり、例えば選択的に7.0%、9.0%、11.0%または13.0%などであり、さらにクロムの成分の比率は15.0%から30.0%の間にあり、例えば選択的に17.0%、19.0%、21.0%、24.0%または27.0%などである。このように、パーライト(Pearlite)の組織の発生を抑制することができるため、ステンレス鋼合金そのものの耐蝕性(酸化により錆びたり、孔蝕したり或いは均一に錆びたりするのができ難い)を形成することができる。 d) The proportion of the nickel component of the present invention is between 5.0% and 15.0%, such as selectively 7.0%, 9.0%, 11.0% or 13.0%. And the proportion of the chromium component is between 15.0% and 30.0%, for example 17.0%, 19.0%, 21.0%, 24.0% or 27.0 selectively. %. In this way, since the formation of pearlite structure can be suppressed, the corrosion resistance of stainless steel alloy itself (it is difficult to rust, pitting or uniformly rust due to oxidation) can do.
e)本発明のクロムの成分の比率は15.0%から30.0%の間にあり、例えば選択的に17.0%、19.0%、21.0%、24.0%または27.0%などである。このように、パーライト(Pearlite)の組織の発生を抑制することができると同時に、クロムの元素はフェライト相の安定の元素で、凝固することによってオーステナイト相とフェライト相との二相の組織に形成させ、フェライト相が晶界に存在すると、応力腐食割れ(Stress Corrosion Crack,SCC)はキーイング効果(keying effect)を有することにより、伝播が難しくなるため、亀裂の模様の成長が停止される。また、フェライト相が存在すると、オーステナイト相の凝固の柱状晶の組織の排列方式を変えてしまい、すなわち元の直線晶界の排列から交錯排列の晶界に変化することにより、比較的大き目の機械応力を受けることができると同時に、異種材が高強度鋼(例えば基地相マルテンサイト系)である溶接の希釈比を許容することができ、特に不充填の溶接に適用することができる。 e) The proportion of the components of the chromium of the present invention is between 15.0% and 30.0%, for example selectively 17.0%, 19.0%, 21.0%, 24.0% or 27 0.0%. In this way, the generation of pearlite structure can be suppressed, and at the same time, the element of chromium is a stable element of the ferrite phase and is formed into a two-phase structure of austenite phase and ferrite phase by solidifying. When the ferrite phase is present at the crystal boundaries, stress corrosion cracking (SCC) has a keying effect, which makes it difficult to propagate, so that the growth of the crack pattern is stopped. Also, the presence of the ferrite phase changes the arrangement of the austenite solidified columnar crystal structure, that is, by changing from the original linear boundary arrangement to the interlaced arrangement boundary. At the same time it can be stressed, it can tolerate dilution ratios for welds in which the dissimilar material is high strength steel (e.g. matrix phase martensite), and is particularly applicable to unfilled welds.
f)本発明のタングステンの成分の比率は5.0%から15.0%の間にあり、例えば選択的に7.0%、9.0%、11.0%または13.0%などである。このように、凝固時において、先ずフェライト相(Ferrite)を析出することにより、高温において熱膨張の係数を相対的に低く抑えるため、熱応力の発生を避けることができる。その他に、フェライト相により比較的多い不純物を固溶することができるため、晶界において欠陥が生じるのを避けることができる。また、フェライト相が晶界に存在すると、キーイング効果(keying effect)を有することにより、亀裂の成長が停止される。さらに、フェライト相が存在すると、オーステナイト相の凝固の柱状晶の組織の排列方式を変えてしまい、すなわち元の直線晶界の排列から交錯排列の晶界に変化することにより、比較的大き目の機械応力を受けることができると同時に、異種材が高強度鋼(例えば基地相マルテンサイト系)である溶接の希釈比を許容することができ、特に不充填の溶接に適用することができる。その他に、タングステンの成分により全体の合金組成物の比重を相対的に高めることができるため、ゴルフクラブヘッドの部材の製造時における重心配置の功能を提供することができる。 f) The proportion of the tungsten component of the present invention is between 5.0% and 15.0%, such as selectively 7.0%, 9.0%, 11.0% or 13.0%. is there. Thus, during solidification, the ferrite phase (Ferrite) is first precipitated, so that the coefficient of thermal expansion is kept relatively low at high temperatures, so that generation of thermal stress can be avoided. In addition, since a relatively large amount of impurities can be dissolved in the ferrite phase, it is possible to avoid the occurrence of defects at the crystal boundaries. Also, if the ferrite phase is present at the crystal boundaries, the growth of cracks is stopped by having a keying effect. In addition, the presence of the ferrite phase changes the arrangement of the austenite solidified columnar crystal structure, that is, by changing from the original linear boundary arrangement to the interlaced arrangement boundary. At the same time it can be stressed, it can tolerate dilution ratios for welds in which the dissimilar material is high strength steel (e.g. matrix phase martensite), and is particularly applicable to unfilled welding. In addition, since the specific gravity of the entire alloy composition can be relatively increased by the component of tungsten, it is possible to provide the ability to arrange the center of gravity at the time of manufacturing the golf club head member.
g)本発明のモリブデンの成分の比率は1%以下で、例えば選択的に0.9%、0.8%、0.7%、0.6%、0.5%または0.4%などである。このように、フェライト相を強化し安定させることができるため、ステンレス鋼合金が溶接時における溶接の熱亀裂の敏感性を低く抑えることができ、さらに製造し得るフェース板は比較的高い異種材溶接の互換性を有するように形成されるため、溶接による組立の製造工程に適用することができる。 g) The proportion of the molybdenum component of the present invention is 1% or less, such as selectively 0.9%, 0.8%, 0.7%, 0.6%, 0.5% or 0.4%, etc. It is. In this way, the ferritic phase can be strengthened and stabilized, so the stainless steel alloy can keep the thermal cracking susceptibility low during welding, and the face plate that can be manufactured has a relatively high dissimilar material weld Therefore, it can be applied to the manufacturing process of assembly by welding.
h)本発明においては製造工程と原料の異なりにより、下記のように微量の添加物が含まれる。例えば、銅の成分の比率は1%より小さく、例えば0.9%、0.8%、0.7%、0.6%、0.5%または0.4%などで、本発明において良好な機械性質を維持することができ、さらに材料が粉砕化になるのを避けることができる。また、硫黄の成分の比率は0.04%以下で、例えば選択的に0.03%、0.02%または0.01%などであり、燐の成分の比率は0.04%以下で、例えば選択的に0.03%、0.02%または0.01%などである。このように、硫黄と燐の成分を適当な範囲に制御することにより、溶接の熱亀裂性(hot cracking)の欠陥の発生を避けることができるため、ステンレス鋼合金の成分を確保することができる。 h) In the present invention, trace amounts of additives are included as described below due to differences in the production process and raw materials. For example, the ratio of the copper component is smaller than 1%, such as 0.9%, 0.8%, 0.7%, 0.6%, 0.5%, or 0.4%, which is good in the present invention. Mechanical properties can be maintained, and the material can be prevented from becoming pulverized. Further, the ratio of the sulfur component is 0.04% or less, for example, 0.03%, 0.02%, or 0.01% selectively, and the ratio of the phosphorus component is 0.04% or less. For example, 0.03%, 0.02%, or 0.01% is selectively used. Thus, by controlling the sulfur and phosphorus components to an appropriate range, the occurrence of hot cracking defects in welding can be avoided, so that the components of the stainless steel alloy can be secured. .
上述の如く、従来のASTM 304ステンレス鋼合金には相対的に比較的低い引張強度、降伏強度と硬度を有するため、ゴルフクラブヘッドの応力を受ける能力と耐摩損性が相対的に低くなるという問題点があったが、本発明のゴルフクラブヘッドの合金によれば、ステンレス鋼合金の成分内に特定の比率のタングステンの成分を加え、さらに選択的に微量の添加物(モリブデン、銅、燐と硫黄)を加えることにより、オーステナイト相の基材においてフェライト相を生じることができるため、確実にゴルフクラブヘッドの機械性質を相対的に高めると共に、重心配置の功能を高めることができる。 As described above, the conventional ASTM 304 stainless steel alloy has a relatively low tensile strength, yield strength and hardness, so that the golf club head's ability to receive stress and wear resistance are relatively low. However, according to the golf club head alloy of the present invention, a specific proportion of tungsten component is added to the stainless steel alloy component, and a small amount of additive (molybdenum, copper, phosphorus and the like) is selectively added. By adding (sulfur), the ferrite phase can be generated in the austenite phase base material, so that the mechanical properties of the golf club head can be relatively improved and the ability of the center of gravity arrangement can be improved.
