Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the strength in the joint part of metallic parts at a low cost by brazing with the min. amt. of the gold brazer to be used. CONSTITUTION:A printing wire 3 and the front end of a printing lever 2 constituting a pair of metallic parts are brazed by applying silver brazer thereto and heating the wire and the front end as a 1st stage. The gold brazer is then applied in the extreme neighborhood of a joint part 4 after the 1st stage and the joint part is brazed as a 2nd stage. The amt. of the gold brazer is previously so adjusted that the concn. ratio to form the alloy having high strength is attained by the intrusion of the gold brazer into the silver brazer. The part where the gold brazer intrudes into the silver brazer and the high-strength alloy is formed is made very near the joint part 4 by the 2nd stage. Since the heating is in a short period of time, there is no time the gold brazer diffuses sufficiently and the concn. of the gold brazer is higher only in this part. The strength is higher as well in the part where the concn. of the gold brazer is higher. The joint part is intensified by the brazing using the gold brazer in just the slight amt. The strength in the joint part of the metallic parts of precision equipment, etc., is improved.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a brazing structure for a metal part in which a print lever and a print wire constituting a print head of a dot impact type printer are joined by brazing and a brazing method thereof. is there.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, when joining a pair of metal parts such as joining a print wire to a print lever that constitutes a print head, a brazing method using silver brazing is mainly used. Silver solder has excellent properties such as strength over a wide range and has advantages such as easy brazing work, so that it is now a typical hard solder for joining metal parts. ing.

[0003]

However, as typified by the above-mentioned print head, the recent technological progress requires extremely high speed and high density, and the wave is generated by many precision instruments. It is not possible to deal with all the metal parts that make up the above, even if the conventional configuration is used.
This can be applied to the case of a print head.By using maraging steel as the print lever instead of the conventional carbon tool steel material and by using cemented carbide wire as the print wire instead of the conventional alloy steel wire, downsizing can be achieved. , And covers strength. However, in contrast, the brazing material that joins the two has a smaller brazing area due to miniaturization, but since the brazing material is joined with a silver braze of the same strength as the conventional one, the joint has a strong strength. It is not possible to deal with and is often damaged there. This is covered to some extent by increasing the brazing area, but this is also limited.

As a measure against this, it has been considered to increase the strength of the joint by using an alloy brazing material in which a silver brazing material is mixed with a gold brazing material at a constant ratio. However, since the price of gold is orders of magnitude higher than that of silver, it is costly to include gold in the whole brazing material used. For maraging steel and cemented carbide,
There is also a problem that the brazing process is troublesome, for example, a gold brazing material has poor wettability, and a pre-treatment is required to apply nickel plating in advance to improve the wettability.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to enable the joining of metal parts which can withstand a high load at low cost by brazing.

[0006]

To achieve the above object, in the brazing structure for metal parts in the present invention, a pair of metal parts are joined by a silver braze and a gold braze, and The concentration of gold wax is higher than in other parts.

Further, the method for brazing metal parts according to the present invention comprises a first step of applying silver brazing to a portion including a joint portion of a pair of metal parts and brazing by heating.
After the first step, a second step of applying a gold braze in the immediate vicinity of the joint and brazing by heating is included.

[0008]

By adopting the above means, the joining portion of the pair of metal parts is brazed by silver brazing in the first step to join the joining portions, and in the second step, the joining portion is brought close to the joining portion. A small amount of gold brazing is brazed to increase the concentration of the gold brazing in the part where the load is the largest, and an alloy of silver brazing and gold brazing having a high strength in this part is made.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS As an embodiment of the present invention, a brazing structure of a print lever and a print wire which constitutes a print head of a high speed and high density dot impact printer and a brazing method thereof will be described with reference to the drawings. To do. First, the print lever and the print wire that form a pair of metal parts will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the print lever 2 is joined to the tip of the armature 1 by brazing. A print wire 3 is joined to the tip of the print lever 2 by brazing a silver solder and a gold solder 5. The printing lever 2 is made of thin plate maraging steel having a thickness of 0.2 mm and a width of 2 mm, and the surface thereof is nickel-plated. The printing wire 3 is made of a cemented carbide wire having a diameter of 0.2 mm and having a predetermined length. The joint portion 4 of the pair of metal parts 2 and 3 is formed by placing the base portion of the printing wire 3 at a right angle to the tip portion of the print lever 2 with a predetermined brazing gap. The tip portion of the print lever 2 has a plating layer scraped off by polishing in order to adjust the mounting position of the print wire 3, and the surface of the maraging steel is exposed.

Next, a method of brazing the metal component having the above-mentioned structure will be described. First, as a first step, silver solder is applied to the joint portion 4 and its periphery, and 850 is applied at a high frequency.
The print wire 3 is brazed to the tip of the print lever 2 by heating at a temperature of 3 ° C. for 3 seconds. As the silver wax, an alloy powder of copper, zinc or the like and a flux in a paste form are used. The silver solder has good wettability to maraging steel and cemented carbide, and as described above, even if the nickel plating on the tip of the print lever 2 is scraped off, both can be easily joined. Therefore, this alone already has the conventional strength.

Next, as a second step, after the first step, a gold solder is applied in the immediate vicinity of the above-mentioned joining portion 4 and is heated and melted to mix the gold solder into the silver solder. As the gold wax, an alloy powder containing gold as a main component is used together with a flux in a paste form. The brazing is performed by heating with a high frequency at a temperature of 850 ° C. for 3 seconds as in the first step. The amount of the gold wax is set to 1 mg of the gold wax to 6 mg of the silver wax so that the gold wax is mixed in the silver wax to form an alloy having high strength.

By the first step and the second step described above, an alloy portion is locally formed in the vicinity of the joint portion 4 by mixing gold solder into silver solder. However, since the heating is for a short time, there is no time required for the gold wax to diffuse into the silver wax, and since the gold wax has solidified before sufficiently diffusing, as shown in the lower part of FIG. In addition, the concentration ratio of the gold braze of the alloy at the joint has a peak, and the concentration of the gold braze decreases sharply with increasing distance from this, and the concentration of the gold braze becomes 0% (mass ratio) at a position slightly away from it. Has become. The concentration distribution of the gold wax is about 25% at the peak.
(Mass ratio). The shear strength when the concentration of the gold wax is maximum is about 1.5 times the shear strength of the portion joined by the silver wax, and the strength of the joint portion 4 that bears the most shearing force during printing becomes large. It indicates that Gold brazing is inferior in wettability to maraging steel and cemented carbide, but since it is already covered with silver brazing in the second step, the problem of wettability does not occur.

In the present embodiment, the pair of metal parts is applied to the print lever and the print wire. However, the present invention brazes various metal parts, and particularly strength of a precision instrument part is locally improved. If you apply it to what you need, you get this feature. Further, the heating method, numerical values, and the like shown in the examples are mere examples, and different ones can be appropriately set depending on the case.

[0014]

As described above, according to the brazing method of the present invention, after a pair of metal parts are brazed with silver solder in the first step, a second step is performed in the vicinity of the joint. Since a small amount of gold brazing is brazed and locally alloyed to increase the strength, the most loaded part is reinforced and the cost is low. In addition, since the silver solder having good wettability is first brazed to the metal whose wettability of the gold solder is deteriorated, no trouble occurs in the brazing work, so that the efficiency is not lowered. It is effective in brazing work. Further, in the brazing structure of the present invention thus obtained, the joint portion is reinforced by the gold brazing, and the durability is excellent.
