Definitions

  • German Patent application P 15 33 390. there is described a creep-resistant zinc alloy consisting of to 1% lead, 0 to 0.05% cadmium, 0 to 1.2% copper and which additionally contains titanium in an amount of 0.05 to 0.25%, aluminum in an amount of at least 0.003 but less than 0.05%, preferably in an amount of 0.01 to 0.03% in addition to highgrade zinc and/or smelter zinc and which is free of any magnesium, lithium, beryllium and calcium.
  • alloys can be identified as zinc-titanium-aluminum type alloys in which the titanium content determines the creep strength, the aluminum content the casting behavior and therewith the economy and efficiency in use. in addition to their practicality, which has been confirmed in use, the highgrade alloys of this type have also demonstrated other ad vantageous and surprising effects.
  • titanium containing zinc alloys The stability of titanium containing zinc alloys is increased by providing them with copper contents offrom 0.15 to 2%.
  • copper contents offrom 0.15 to 2%.
  • the invention therefore lies in the finding that high-grade zinc alloys consisting of 0.05 to 0.25% titanium, 0.02 to 0.20% copper, 0.005 to 0.05% aluminum, the remainder of highgrade zinc having a degree of purity of 99.9 to 99.995% are highly suitable as creep resistant and ductile alloys when cold rolled.
  • EXAMPLE 1 [A110 to 0.89; copper, 0.1 to 0.15% titanium. Aluminum maximum 0.001%, remainder high grade zino.]
  • EXAMPLE 2 [All0y0- .2 to 0.57 copper, 0.1 to 0.15% titanium. Aluminum maximum 0.001% remainder high grade zinc.]
  • the titanium-aluminum sheet alloy having high copper contents of less than 0.2% and preferably of less than 0.05 to 0.1% had a considerable resistance to creep on working without evidence of any breakage in the rolled state. This is a decisive advance in the art, as the heretofore produced alloys with higher copper contents and no aluminum lose most of their creep strength following permanent annealing, when the thusly treated sheet material was cold cast during processing, as for example by pressing.
  • the possible heat treatment of the alloy in accordance with the invention can be carried out advantageously in the tem perature range of from 120 to C. 1n the same temperature range, the alloy can also be warrnrolled.
