Description

Blast processing projection material and blast processing method using the same {BLASTING MATERIAL FOR BLASTING PROCESS AND METHOD USING THEREOF}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a metal-based projection material (grinding material) used for cleaning the casting surface (sand drop, etc.), cleaning the steel surface, roughening the surface, etc. by blasting. .

In the present specification, the particle size of the projection material (particle body) is according to the particle size classification symbol of shot or grit in JIS Z 0311, unless otherwise specified. The particle diameter of the cutting wire is not specified in JIS, but conforms to JIS Z 0311.

Blast processing in the surface treatment field is rapidly spreading and developing in recent years. Most of the cleaning work of casting products, the fall of steel scales (rust, etc.) and the peening of springs and gears are performed by shot blasting. In addition, blasting is widely used in the surface treatment field, such as etching of rolls and trimming (deflushing) of various parts.

The purpose of the blasting treatment is to obtain various workpieces (surface processed products) having the desired surface roughness and / or removal of deposits on the surfaces of the various workpieces (workpieces) as described above.

In the blasting process, it is required to be able to efficiently remove deposits or to surface-treat from the viewpoint of productivity, and to reduce the consumption rate of the projection material.

In general, in order to remove the deposit efficiently, the hardness of the projection material is generally higher. This is because it is difficult to deform the projection material itself, and it is easy to give kinetic energy to the attachment (the momentum preservation rule is based on a perfect rigid body). However, when the hardness of the projection material increases, fracture (cracking) is likely to occur. When the crushing occurs, the projection material becomes finer, so that the microprojection material having no cleaning effect is included, and thus it is necessary to remove it out of the circulation system of the projection material. When the fine projection material is removed more than a predetermined amount and the circulation amount decreases, new projection material is periodically replenished. This increases the consumption rate of the projection material.

In view of the above, it is an object of the present invention to provide a blast treatment projection material and a blast treatment method capable of increasing the surface cleaning efficiency and the like without substantially increasing the consumption rate of the projection material in the blast treatment.

MEANS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM As a result of making an effort to develop an example in order to solve the said subject, it came to imagine to the blasting projection material of the following structure.

In the metal-based projection material used in cleaning the casting surface, cleaning the surface of steel materials, roughening, etc. by blasting treatment,

The projection material has a standard particle size (main particle body) of a recommended particle size corresponding to the purpose of blasting (except pinning processing), and a diameter smaller than one or more kinds of the classified recommended particle body, and also performs surface cleaning. It is characterized in that it is a mixture of particles (subsidiary particles) more than the limit diameter indicating.

With the above configuration, in the blasting process, the cleaning efficiency can be increased with almost no increase in the consumption rate of the projection material. It cannot be concluded, but it is estimated as follows.

By adding a small diameter secondary particle to the injection body, the projection effective area ratio (transmissive area ratio: actual throwing trace area of the projection material per fixed area) is increased as compared with the injection body alone. This increases the cleaning efficiency relatively. In addition, since the secondary particles have a smaller diameter than the injection bodies, the amount of the secondary particles discharged out of the projection material circulation system is large when they are worn or broken. However, when the secondary particles have the same hardness, they are less likely to be damaged and finer than the injection bodies due to their small diameters. That is, when a large diameter projection material is crushed (broken) during operating (at the time of blasting), its fracture surface is uneven, and because it has sharp surface defects (cracks, etc.), it is more different than an uncrushed projection material of the same diameter. Fracture and micronization are particularly easy to promote.

Therefore, even if the small particle secondary particle is contained, the consumption rate of the mixed projection material of this invention hardly increases. This has been confirmed by the inventors (see Table 3 · 4).

It is also known empirically that the ballast after the blasting treatment for a predetermined period has a higher surface cleaning efficiency than before the initial projection of the projection material. That is, it is known that the projection material of the so-called operating mixed state in which the crushed projection material is included together with the uncrushed projection material has a high surface cleaning efficiency.

However, as far as the inventors know, there is no blasting projection material in which the injection itself is actively mixed with a small diameter secondary particle like the present invention. That is, the present invention is based on the new knowledge that the mixed projection material in which the small particle diameter particle is mixed with the injection body is higher in surface cleaning efficiency than the projection material composed only of the injection body, and further, the consumption rate of the mixed projection material is hardly increased. It shows a remarkable effect.

The shape of the projection material in the above configuration is not particularly limited, and any one of a shot, a grit, a cutting wire, or a plurality of them may be used.

Among these, when the injection itself is made into a grit which is easy to be broken, and the subsidiary body is made into a shot which is less likely to be broken compared to the grit, it is expected that the fracture is less likely to be promoted and the increase in the consumption rate of the projection material can be suppressed.

When the projection material (especially the cutting wire) of the form which is hard to be crushed and hard to be in an operating mixing state is used as the mixed projection material of the present invention, the surface cleaning effect can be increased more than the case of only the injection itself.

In addition, the effect of the present invention becomes more remarkable that the particle size of the injection body is 120 or more (JIS Z 0311). If the particle size of the injection itself is too small, it is not expected to increase the cleaning efficiency or the like even if a small diameter particle body is added.

The projection material distribution preferably has at least a first acid (high acid) based on the injection itself and a second acid (low acid) based on small diameter particle bodies, and substantially does not have an overlap thereof. If the first acid and the second acid have a large overlap, the increase of the projection effective area ratio is small, and the increase of the surface cleaning action and the like cannot be expected very much.

The ratio of the height of the second mountain to the first mountain is 6/4 to 8/2. When the ratio of the first acid is too small, the removal efficiency of the main deposit is lowered. On the contrary, when the ratio of the first acid is too large, an increase in the projection effective area ratio is not expected very much, and an increase in surface cleaning efficiency or the like cannot be expected.

The projection material of this embodiment is a metallic projection material used for cleaning the casting surface and cleaning and roughening the steel surface (hereinafter referred to as "surface cleaning", etc.) by blast processing.

Examples of the metal material include cast iron, cast steel (steel), stainless steel, aluminum, zinc, and the like.

And the form of the projection material to which this invention is applied selects any 1 type, or multiple types of a shot, a grit, and a cutting wire.

Here, "short" and "grit" refer to the following as defined by JIS Z 0311.

Short: A ball-shaped particle (shape abbreviation 'S') having a ridge angle, a crushed surface, or other sharp surface defects, and having a long diameter of less than twice the short diameter, before use.

Grit: An angular shape with ridges (shape abbreviation "G") as a state before use.

The "cutting wire" is not defined in JIS, but refers to particles formed by cutting the linear body of the metal material as described above substantially equal to the diameter of the linear body.

In the above configuration, in the present embodiment, the projection material (blast material) has a standard particle size (main particle body) of a recommended particle size corresponding to the purpose of blasting (except for pinning processing), and one or more kinds of classified chiefs. It is a mixture of particles (subsidiary particles) having a diameter smaller than the particles and larger than or equal to the limit diameter showing surface cleaning action.

"Blast processing" is the JIS B 0311, "In the impact of the grinding material having a large kinetic energy to the steel surface to be treated to finely cut and hit the steel surface, to remove and clean the oxides or deposits on the steel surface, In addition, in this specification, the object and the action are also slightly broader than this. That is, the concept includes not only the cleaning work of casting products and the scale drop of steel (including rust removal) but also the trimming (de-flushing), descaling, and etching of various parts.

Among various blasting treatments (surface finishing), excluding pinning is a method of applying residual compressive stress to the surface layer of a workpiece (work) for the purpose of improving fatigue strength, and the injection itself is distributed. This is because a narrower width is preferable. In other words, the amount of kinetic energy in projection is small in the secondary particle (small diameter particle) and it is difficult to apply a desired residual compressive stress distribution to the work surface layer.

Here, the standard particle size of the recommended particle size forming the injection body is based on having a distribution specified in JIS Z 0311.

Here, the injection is made into particle size number 120 (about 0.7 mm) or more, preferably particle size number 170 (about 1.2 mm) or more. If the particle size of the injection itself is too small, it is impossible to increase the cleaning efficiency or the like even if adding the subsidiary particles (small diameter particles).

Further, the particle size of the secondary particle is not particularly limited as long as it is equal to or larger than the limit diameter showing the surface cleaning action. For example, it is conceivable to combine sub-particles of various diameters as appropriate in the range of each mass%, as shown in Tables 1 and 2, for the injection bodies of various particle diameters.

In addition, as shown in Table 2, when the injection body is formed in the shape of the injection body, it is preferable that the shape of the secondary particle is short (or cut wire). This is because, when the subsidiary particles are made into a shot hard to be broken as compared with the grit, the crushing is difficult to be promoted, and the increase in the consumption rate of the projection material can be suppressed.

Similarly, in the case where the injection body is made of a cutting wire which is relatively hard to be broken, when the subsidiary particles are mixed, the surface cleaning effect can be expected to be further increased as compared with the injection body alone.

In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, not only the minor particle having a small diameter is mixed with the injection body, but also a standard particle body having a larger diameter side than the injection body is mixed as necessary (Examples 2 to 12 and 20). 21).

The present inventors have confirmed that a small amount (at a rate of 30% or less) of a large diameter side is added, and the cleaning efficiency and the like increase depending on the type of surface treatment.

The distribution of the projection material preferably has at least the first acid (high acid) based on the injection itself and the second acid (low acid) based on the small-diameter particle body, and it is preferable to have substantially no overlap thereof (Fig. 5). (a) · see FIG. 6 (a))]. If the first acid and the second acid have a large overlap, the increase of the projection effective area ratio is small, so that the surface cleaning action cannot be expected very much.

The ratio of the height of the second mountain to the first mountain is 6/4 to 8/2 (preferably 6.5 / 3.5 to 7.5 / 2.5). If the ratio of the first acid is too small, the removal efficiency of the main deposit is lowered. On the contrary, if the ratio of the first acid is too large, the increase of the projection effective area ratio is not expected very much, and the increase in surface cleaning efficiency and the like cannot be expected very much.

Here, the mixing ratio (mass ratio) between the injection body and the small diameter particles is usually 50% or more for the injection body, and less than 50% for other small or large diameter particles (see Table 1 and 2).

Usually, the injection body / other particle body (small diameter particle body) = 85/15 to 55/45, preferably 75/25 to 65/35.

In addition, although the hardness of an injection | pouring body and a subsidiary particle is the same normally, it is also possible to use what changed suitably. And the range of hardness is used for the case of steel shot, Vickers hardness (JIS B 7725) as that of HV300 to 800 [H _RC of about 30 to 64 on the Rockwell (C)].

Next, the method of surface-processing using the said projection material (shot) is demonstrated. In addition, the blast processing method of this invention is not limited to the said method.

An example of a shot blasting apparatus is shown in FIG. The shot blasting apparatus basically includes an impeller unit 12 for projecting the projection material, a circulator 14 for circulating the projection material, a separator 16 for separating the projection material and sand or scale and a dust collector, not shown but basically It is a component part.

The impeller unit 12 is provided with a projection material (charged) via a hopper (short) 18. In addition, the circulation device 14 is disposed between the chamber (projection chamber) 20 and the separator 16 so as to be disposed below the bottom of the chamber 20 and above the separator 16, respectively. It is the structure which consists of the conveyors 22 and 24 and the bucket elevator 26 arrange | positioned and arrange | positioned between the delivery outlet and the delivery entrance of both screw conveyors 22 and 24. As shown in FIG. 28 in the drawing examples are screens.

The projection material is injected into the impeller unit 12 from the hopper 18. And the projection material injected into the impeller unit 12 is accelerated in the impeller unit 12, and is projected to the workpiece | work (workpiece | work) W in the chamber (projection room) 20. As shown in FIG. In this manner, surface processing such as descaling is performed on the work.

The projected projection material is recovered by the circulator 14 for use in projection again.

The separator 16 is a device which separates the projection material effective for blasting (surface cleaning), sand, scale, and consumed differential projection materials. In the remaining state of sand, scale and the like, not only the efficiency of the blasting process is lowered, but also the consumption of the impeller unit (blast apparatus) 12 is accelerated, and consequently, the operation cost is increased.

The separator 16 plays a role of maintaining the operating mix. In order to contain the projection material of the particle size showing the surface cleaning action in the circulating projection material without discarding it together with the dust, it is necessary to adjust the separator 16 to maintain an effective operating mixing state.

In addition, the separator 16 separates projection materials and other unnecessary objects using an airflow such as air. The separated usable projection material is returned back into the hopper 18, and unusable sand, scale, consumable projection material, etc. are discharged out of the device.

In addition, when the consumption amount of the projection material (short, etc.) increases and the usable short amount decreases, the mixed mixed projection material is automatically replenished to the hopper 18 by determining relative to the load current value of the drive motor of the impeller unit 12.

Hereinafter, each test example performed about the following Example and the comparative example in order to confirm the effect of this invention is demonstrated.

(1) The steel short form of the Example and the comparative example used for each test example is as follows. Also of any steel shot or hardness H _RC 45 (HV446).

Example 1: The former / the latter (weight ratio) of "S200" and "S100" = 7/3 mixed steel shot

Comparative Example 1: Steel Shot of `` S200 ''

Example 2 The former / the latter (weight ratio) of "S140" and "S80" = 7/3 mixed steel shot

Comparative Example 2: Steel Shot of "S140"

Example 3: The former / the latter (weight ratio) of "S120" and "S60" = 7/3 mixed steel shot

Comparative Example 3: Steel Short of 「S120」

(2) Descale (rust removal) of the steel plate [SS400 (formerly SS41)] was performed using each said shot (projection material). The shot projection speed was 73 m / s, and the projection amount was 38 kg / min. In addition, the shot blasting device used "Shortton Blast STB-1RC" manufactured by Shinto Industrial Co., Ltd.

First, as for preparation, both of the examples and the comparative examples were subjected to continuous empty projection for 1 week while supplying shorts for consumption, thereby generating a steady-state operating mix. Thereafter, projection was started on the steel sheet under a stable operating mixture, and the degree of decontamination and surface roughness of the steel sheet were measured every three minutes from the start of the projection. In addition, decontamination degree and particle size distribution were measured by the following method.

Proposal degree: The following procedure was performed.

① Apply 5 to 10% hydrochloric acid on the blast surface of the test piece.

② Put hydrochloric acid coated surface on magnifier and observe at 10 times magnification.

③ The part where scale (rust) is removed becomes white, and the part where rust remains is left black.

④ Obtain the degree of recommendation against the standard photograph (sample measured by integration of rust removal rate).

Particle size distribution: It measured by JIS Z 8815 using the net body prescribed | regulated to JIS Z 8801.

(3) Measurement result

2, 3 and 4 showing the relationship between the degree of application of the projection time can be seen from the following.

It can be seen that the increase in rust removal is better in the examples of the mixed shots. In particular, it can be seen that Example 1, which has a larger particle size, has a larger difference in degree of decontamination than in Examples 2 and 3. In addition, in the drawing example, each example and the comparative example overlap in the latter half of the projection, but this is an apparent phenomenon caused by the fact that the measurement accuracy of the degree of wetting is 5% pitch (visual) and the rate of wetting follows the parabolic law. It is easily inferred that the time of each embodiment has less time (or the amount of projections) before reaching a higher degree of clarity than the comparative example.

5 and 6 showing the particle size distribution can be seen from the following.

It can be seen that the operating mix shows a slight particle size increase at the site of the added shot, but exhibits approximately the same particle size distribution.

Moreover, when economic evaluation was computed about each Example and the comparative example, it became as shown in Table 3, Table 4.

Table 3 and Table 4 show that the economic effect is also great. In particular, when the present invention is applied to a large diameter of the injection itself, it can be seen that the effect is remarkable.

In addition, although not submitted as data, the surface roughness of each Example which used the 30 mass% admixture of subparticulate bodies compared with each comparative example of single use of the injection itself was slightly finely finished.

(3) Sanding of the wear-resistant cast iron was performed using the steel shots used in Examples 1, 2, Comparative Examples 1 and 2, respectively. The blasting conditions were the same as in Example 1 except for changing the workpiece.

As a result, it was confirmed that Example 1 and Example 2 had better sand dropping than that of Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, respectively, so that a good finished surface could be obtained.

As described above, the present invention can provide a blast treatment projection material and a blast treatment method capable of increasing the surface cleaning efficiency and the like without substantially increasing the consumption rate of the projection material in the blast treatment.
