Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for producing a maraging steel according to the preamble to claim 1 .
  • So-called maraging steels are steels whose alloy is virtually carbon-free.
  • the maraging steels on the one hand, have high strength and on the other, have good toughness along with good processing and welding properties. They are used as tool steels for use at elevated temperatures, e.g. with intricately shaped die-cast or injection-molded plastic tools and for producing knives and blades for the sport of fencing.
  • maraging steels are the hot-working steels 1.2709 and 1.6356.
  • DE 603 19 197 T2 has disclosed a maraging steel, which contains at most 0.01% C, 8 to 22% nickel, 5 to 20% cobalt, 2 to 9% molybdenum, between 0 and 2% titanium, at most 1.7% aluminum, between 0 and 10 ppm magnesium, less than 10 ppm oxygen, less than 15 ppm nitrogen, and the rest iron and random impurities; this maraging steel contains nitride inclusions with a maximum length of 15 ⁇ m and oxide inclusions with a maximum length of 20 ⁇ m; the oxide inclusions include spinel-type inclusions and aluminum oxide inclusions, and in the total content of spinel-type inclusions with a length of at least 10 ⁇ m and Al 2 O 3 with a length of 10 ⁇ m, the percentage of spinel-type inclusions with a length of at least 10 ⁇ m is greater than 0.33. The intent of this is to take into account the objective of significantly reducing the non-metallic inclusions.
  • EP 1 222 317 B1 has disclosed a high-strength, stainless machining steel; it is produced by powder metallurgy and should contain a precipitation-hardenable stainless steel alloy; this alloy contains at most 0.03% carbon, at most 1% manganese, at most 0.75% silicon, at most 0.04% phosphorus, 0.01 to 0.05% sulfur, 10 to 14% chromium, 6 to 12% nickel, at most 6% molybdenum, at most 4% copper, 0.4 to 2.5% titanium, and other minor alloy additives; the rest should be composed of iron and the usual impurities; a powder metallurgy product is to be produced from this, which should contain a fine dispersion of tiny sulfide particles whose major dimension is no greater than about 5 ⁇ m. It can also be used to produce a wire.
  • EP 0 607 263 B1 has disclosed a precipitation-hardenable martensitic steel, which in addition to the usual small amounts of metals added to the alloy, also contains 10 to 14% chromium, 7 to 11% nickel, 2.5 to 6% molybdenum, and 0.5 to 4% copper; in this case, it can also contain up to 9% cobalt, the rest consisting of iron and the usual impurities.
  • EP 2 631 432 B1 has disclosed a steam turbine rotor, a corresponding steam turbine, and a turbine power plant;
  • the steam turbine rotor is a steam turbine low-pressure last stage long blade, which is composed of a precipitation-hardenable martensitic stainless steel, which contains less than 0.1% carbon and 9 to 14% chromium as well as 9 to 14% nickel, 0.5 to 2.5% molybdenum, and 0.5% or less silicon.
  • additive production processes have already become very widespread in the industrial sector.
  • additive production processes enjoy very widespread use today.
  • Additive production processes are production processes in which printing data are generated by means of CAD data or from CAD data and articles can be printed, for example from plastics, using suitable printers.
  • Such processes are also referred to as generative production processes.
  • Suitable powder bed processes include selective laser melting (SLM), selective laser sintering (SLS), selective heat sintering (SHS), binder jetting, and electron beam melting (EBM).
  • SLM selective laser melting
  • SLS selective laser sintering
  • SHS selective heat sintering
  • EBM electron beam melting
  • a powder bed is produced and in the regions in which an article is to be produced out of metal, energy is introduced with the corresponding means (laser or electron beam), which selectively melts the powder of the powder bed in that region. After the melting, another powder layer is applied and is in turn melted. The melting bonds this melted powder layer to the underlying powder layer, which has already been melted and solidified again or which is still in the molten phase, so that an article can be produced layer by layer, so to speak.
  • the corresponding means laser or electron beam
  • the object of the invention is to create a method for producing an article out of a maraging steel, which enables an optimal ratio of hardness to toughness.
  • Another object is to produce an article out of a maraging steel, which has an optimal ratio of hardness to toughness.
  • Another object is to produce a steel powder for use in an additive production process, which produces an article with an optimal ratio of hardness to toughness.
  • a metal powder produced using the alloy concept according to the invention is printable and exhibits the required mechanical values after the aging alone so that an additional, usually required solution annealing step can be eliminated.
  • an alloy concept is used, which is essentially based on nickel, aluminum, titanium, and silicon as hardening elements.
  • the focus was placed on two points, namely on the one hand, increasing the hardness and strength values by modifying precipitation densities and types.
  • the content of the precipitation-promoting elements aluminum and titanium was increased.
  • FIG. 1 shows the influence of the titanium content
  • FIG. 2 shows the influence of the molybdenum content
  • FIG. 3 shows a time/temperature diagram of a heat treatment, which consists of a solution and washing procedure followed by an air-cooling to room temperature and an aging process.
  • FIG. 4 shows the phase diagram of iron/nickel in equilibrium
  • FIG. 5 shows the hysteresis of conversion temperatures of martensite and austenite 20 during heating and cooling
  • FIG. 6 shows the hardness as a function of the aging temperature for different alloys
  • FIG. 7 shows the austenite content as a function of the aging temperature for different alloys
  • FIG. 8 shows the hardness curve as a function of the aging temperature in a printed, aged material according to the invention and in a solution annealed, aged material.
  • Nickel is the most important alloying element in maraging steels. Since the carbon content is low in maraging alloys, the addition of Ni to Fe results in the formation of a cubic Fe—Ni martensite. Controlling the Ni content is also important because Ni is an austenite-stabilizing element and Ni is thus decisive for the formation of retransformed austenite. Ni forms intermetallic precipitations with numerous elements such as Al, Ti, and Mn and therefore plays an additional decisive role as a precipitation-promoting element.
  • Aluminum is added to maraging steels as a precipitation element. It increases the solid solution strengthening and, particularly with Ni, forms intermetallic precipitations. A higher Al content can lead to the presence of ⁇ ferrite in the microstructure, which has a negative impact on the mechanical properties and on the corrosion resistance.
  • Titanium appears to be one of the most active elements in maraging steels. It precipitates out during the aging and can be considered the most important alloying element for the formation of precipitations in maraging steels. It was used as a precipitation-promoting element in the first maraging steels that were developed and is used today in complex alloying systems.
  • the greatest advantage is the rapid precipitation; titanium is thus much more active, for example, than Mo in C-type and T-type maraging steels in the early stages of precipitation.
  • the enormous influence of the Ti content on the tensile strength 18% Ni and Co-containing maraging steels is shown in FIG. 1 .
  • small quantities of Ti are added to Ti-free maraging steels in order to form carbides.
  • the objective is to bind to the carbon C so that no other precipitation elements can form carbides.
  • the influence of the Ti content is shown in FIG. 1 .
  • Mo forms intermetallic compounds with Ni.
  • the precipitation behavior of Mo is strongly influenced by other elements, especially by cobalt (Co), among others.
  • Co cobalt
  • the addition of Co decreases the solubility of Mo in the matrix and Mo is also forced to form precipitations. This leads to an increase in the hardness ( FIG. 2 ).
  • Mo also increases the solid solution strengthening ( FIG. 2 ) and improves the corrosion resistance of high Cr-containing maraging steels.
  • Chromium is added to improve the corrosion resistance of maraging steels. This yields steels that can be used, for example, as plastic mold steels, which are exposed to a chemical attack during the production of plastics.
  • the addition of Cr to the alloy promotes the precipitation of the Laves phase. But higher Cr contents can lead to the formation of the ⁇ phase, which has a negative effect on the mechanical properties.
  • spinodal segregation into Fe-rich and Cr-rich phases can occur, which reduces the notch impact strength.
  • Mn was sometimes used to replace the more expensive Ni. Consistent with Ni, Mn forms a Mn martensite, but has less of an austenite-stabilizing effect and thus a significant quantity of ⁇ ferrite is present in Fe—Mn alloys. This b ferrite has a negative effect on the mechanical properties and on the corrosion resistance.
  • Carbon is not an alloying element of a maraging steel. Because maraging steels cannot obtain their high strength from carbides, the carbon content is kept as low as possible during the production of the steel. For this reason, the carbon content of a maraging steel is in the range of 1/100%.
  • Cu acts as a precipitation-promoting element in maraging steels; it does not, however, form a compound with other elements. At the beginning, it precipitates out with a cubic, body-centered structure in the Fe matrix. During the aging, it develops a 9R structure and in the end, it forms its cubic face-centered structure in equilibrium. The role of copper is to rapidly precipitate out and serve as a nucleation site for other precipitations.
  • Silicon is usually considered an impurity element in steels. But in maraging steels, Si forms intermetallic phases and particularly in alloys that contain Ti, it forms the so-called Ni16Si7Ti6 G phase.
  • G phase is used because the phase was discovered for the first time at grain boundaries; this is not the case, however, in maraging steels.
  • the good mechanical properties of maraging steels can be attributed to a two-stage heat treatment.
  • FIG. 3 shows an example of a time/temperature plan of such a heat treatment, which consists of a solution annealing procedure followed by an air-cooling to room temperature and an aging process.
  • Ni-martensite is formed, which can be easily machined and cold-worked if need be.
  • the subsequent aging is typically carried out in a temperature range of 400° C. to 600° C. During the aging process, three reactions occur:
  • the phase diagram of Fe—Ni in equilibrium is shown in FIG. 4 . It clearly shows that Ni decreases the conversion temperature from austenite to ferrite and that in the alloys that contain more than a few percent Ni, the structure in equilibrium at room temperature consists of austenite and ferrite.
  • the material does not decompose into a composition of austenite and ferrite in equilibrium. Instead, the austenite, with further cooling, is transformed into a cubic martensite.
  • the aging of the martensitic structure is possible due to the influence of Ni in maraging steels, which leads to a hysteresis of the conversion temperatures of martensite and austenite during the heating and cooling ( FIG. 5 ). With an increasing Ni content, the conversion temperature of heating and cooling decreases. In this connection, the difference between the conversion temperatures depends on the Ni content.
  • the material After the solution annealing, the material is transformed to a martensite if it is cooled to below the conversion temperature. Depending on the Ni content and the other alloying elements, a certain percentage of austenite can be retransformed at room temperature. If the microstructure is reheated again to below the ⁇ - ⁇ conversion temperature, then the martensite decomposes into an equilibrium structure composed austenite and ferrite. The speed of this reconversion reaction depends on the temperature used. Fortunately in maraging steels, this conversion is slow enough that precipitations of the intermetallic phases from the oversaturated solution form before the reconversion reaction dominates.
  • the alloy is heated to above the ⁇ - ⁇ conversion temperature, then the martensite is retransformed due to annealing processes.
  • the alloy concept according to the invention is essentially based on a concept that is built on Ni, Al, Ti, and Si (see FIG. 6 ) as hardening elements.
  • a powder with chemical compositions according to FIG. 7 and a grain fraction of 15-45 ⁇ m is produced by means of gas atomization.
  • bar stock which has been melted in the vacuum induction furnace and possibly remelted by means of ESR electroslag remelting) or VAR (vacuum arc remelting) is melted with the identical composition in a vacuum induction furnace and then atomized by means of inert gas (Ar, He, N).
  • the powder fraction is adjusted by means of subsequent straining.
  • the resulting powder fraction is then processed to produce sample bodies in a 3D printer, which functions according to the principle of selective laser melting.
  • the printed material is then characterized in different heat treatment states with regard to its structure, hardening/aging behavior, and mechanical properties.
  • the state “as printed+aged” is compared to the state “printed+solution annealed+aged.”
  • the solution annealing was carried out at 1000° C. for 1 h and the aging was carried out 3 h at 525° C.
  • the hardness was then determined using the Rockwell method.
  • the mechanical properties were determined by means of tensile testing.

  • the alloys V21, V311, V321, and V322 according to Table 1 correspond to the alloys according to the invention.
  • FIG. 6 shows that the corresponding alloys according to the invention lie in the upper range of hardness of all of the alloys and thus have absolutely sufficient hardness properties.
  • FIG. 7 shows the percentage of austenite as a function of the aging temperature.
  • different percentages of retransformed austenite were produced, the retransformed austenite being responsible for the toughness of the material.
  • the alloys according to the invention are all very close to one another, particularly with an aging temperature of 525° C., and the percentages of austenite are absolutely sufficient for the high level of toughness.
  • the invention enables a particularly successful combination of hardness and toughness.
  • the hardness after the aging is greater than 50 HRC.
  • the results of the mechanical testing turn out differently between “printed+aged” and “printed+solution annealed+aged.”
  • the printed and aged material that is not according to the invention has mechanical properties that lag those of conventionally heat-treated, solution annealed, and aged material.
  • Table 3 shows the tensile strength and hardness values for printed, heat treated materials that are not according to the invention.
