Copper-based alloys including aluminum amounting up to weight percent and, up to 10 weightpercentof various additives of which nickel may make up to 2 weight percent, iron 4.5 weight percent, and manganese 1.7 weight percent are known in the art (cf. French Pat. No. 1.176.757, cl. C22c, 1959).
As is known, the heat treatment of such alloys'results in the separation of the dispersion particles of the intermetallides (Al Ni Fe), thus making said alloys stronger and harder.
A serious disadvantage of the known alloys is that they contain an explosion and risky element iron, which markedly reduces the sphere of application of said alloys in the manufacturing of antisparking tools.
It is an object of the present invention to eliminate the abovementioned disadvantage.
Another object of the invention is to increase the strength and hardness of an alloy.
Another object of'the invention is to obtain an optimum composition of the components providing high physical and mechanical properties for alloys and precluding sparking upon impact.
The element Zr also causes a reduction of the grainsize, which positively affects the strength of the alloy and reduces tendency to overheat at hardening temperatures.
' The following is a detailed description and an exemplarly embodiment of the proposed invention.
The proposed alloy contains in weight percent aluminum- 1l.7-12.1; nickel 7.5-8.2; chromium 0.55-0.65; zirconium 0.25-0.35, with copper constituting the rest of the alloy composition.
With the aluminum amounting to 12 weight percent, the alloy tends to become more brittle, and in order to increase the viscosity of said alloy, it is necessary to raise the nickel content to 8 percent.
' The increase in the nickel content makes the sphere of the brittle Y2 phase dependent upon a higher content 0f aluminum. That means that, with such percentage of aluminum, the separation of the 7 phase occurs at a lower rate than is the case with a lower nickel content.
In nickel casting, the alloy offers the following indices for its physical andrnechanical properties:
fg? 80-85 kglmm 0 =65-68 kglmm a 2.5-3 kg/cm 8.= 3-4 percent; and H 290-310.
The alloy thus produced was subjected t0.thermal treatment to secure higher strength.
The following is a table characterizing the mechanical indices of the proposed alloy:
Mechanical indices Variations of thermal treatment kg/mm kg/mm kgm/cm for -40 min.
These and other objects of the present invention have been achieved by providing an alloy for manufacturing machine parts that does not cause sparking upon impact, and which is based on copper but also includes aluminumand nickel, with said alloy additionally containing, according to the invention, chromium and zirconium, with all of the abovementioned components taken in the following weight percentage:
aluminum 11.7-12.1 nickel 7.5-8.2 chromium 0.55-0.65 zirconium 0.25-0.35 copper the remainder In thermal treatment according to the first variation,
a-separation of the NiAl and NiAl phases are observed, as well as the Cr- Zr .In thermal treatment according to the second variation, in addition to the above phases, a partial disintegration of phase ,8 into a 'y is observed. As phase 7 is superhard, the effect of the alloy hardness increase was obvious.
Thermal treatment according to the third variation ensures a complete disintegration of phase 018 into a 1- The proposed alloy is characterized by a high ratio lq/L ratio both in the as-cast and, particularly, the thermally treated state.
Both the as-cast alloy and the thermally treated alloy do not cause sparking even in the case of an impact against a steel plate with a force of kGrn.
