  • the invention relates to a method for producing components by metal powder injection molding of metal powder parts coated with binder, with the features of the type described in the preamble of claim 1
  • Complex-shaped components in medium and high numbers of pieces have long been required in automotive engineering, in aviation as moving parts and in off-shore applications and also in medical technology, for example for implants. These are complex-shaped components with dimensions that can be up to As a rule, such complexly shaped components are manufactured using machining processes, such as milling, turning and grinding.
  • the materials used are, for example, low-alloy, high-alloy or corrosion-resistant steels, high-speed steels, superalloys, alloys with magnetic properties, hard metals and Other materials not listed in question
  • Complex component geometries require a high workload, thus increasing the stucco price. Certain complicated structures can only be realized with the help of extreme effort. This applies in particular to thin parts, such as thin axes , which are subject to the risk of damage due to the mechanical stress during milling, turning and grinding of the part.
  • Another manufacturing method for producing a complex-shaped component with small dimensions is the use of investment casting.
  • investment casting a mold production is required for each component manufactured, the production of which The amount of work required requires investment casting means that complex-shaped components with small and smallest structures that are in the range of centimeters can no longer be reproduced with certainty.
  • the surface of the complex-shaped component produced generally reacts due to the temperature of the liquid casting with the wall surface of the casting mold.
  • the reaction layer thus created on the surface of the complex-shaped component must, for example, be pickled to produce a flawless surface. This pickling, in turn, means that narrow tolerances can no longer be maintained.
  • the mechanical properties of the casting structure are achieved by investment casting are produced, inferior to the mechanical properties, if the complex-shaped component has been produced with the help of forging technology
  • complex-shaped components cannot be manufactured using the state-of-the-art processes described, such as milling, turning, grinding, investment casting, spark erosion and electrochemical processing, because of their special requirements on the component geometry, they usually switch to another material or one chooses a different design, in order to nevertheless achieve a production of the complex shaped component.
  • thermoplastic used in the injection molding process and / or use thermosetting materials practically, since they did not have sufficient mechanical properties.
  • Titanium powder for the production of heavy-duty components, such as used in motor vehicle construction, etc. Titanium is particularly advantageous as a material for complexly shaped components with small dimensions in the field of medical technology, since such components have an especially good biocompatibility as an implant.
  • Titanium powder can be used to achieve the required strength values of components with a complex-shaped structure, but, for example, in the safety-relevant areas of machines and implants, there is no safety reserve for the component made from titanium powder with regard to functionality and against irreparable damage in the event of overloading and against breakage
  • Complex components made from titanium powder and with the metal powder injection molding process break immediately when the strength limit is reached without prior plastic deformation (cracking), which, however, is not the case in most cases
  • This essential disadvantage of the complex-shaped components produced from titanium powder according to the prior art essentially results from the fact that, during the production of these components, considerable amounts of contaminants, such as oxygen, carbon, nitrogen and the like, are taken up in the material of the titanium component Complex molded components made from titanium powder do not achieve the properties of the same component when the metal powder injection molding process is used if it has been manufactured by the forging process
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of providing an inexpensive method suitable for mass production for the production of complex-shaped components, which in particular enables the sintered component to have a safety reserve against inoperability and against irreparable damage in the event of overloading and against breakage, which minimizes allows the inclusion of contaminants in the material of the components during the manufacture of the components until completion, which for the prefabricated component has a homogeneous structure, extremely high reproducibility and dimensional accuracy, which avoids post-processing of the manufactured components, which has a low surface roughness of the finished one Component enables, and this excludes a distortion of the components during the production of the complex shaped
  • the advantages of the invention lie in particular in that some of the sections of the method according to the invention for the production of complex-shaped components take place while strictly observing a high-purity protective atmosphere consisting of protective gas and / or air exclusion and / or vacuum. This prevents that during manufacture - process of the complex shaped components contaminants with respect to the given performance data of the component can no longer be tolerated by the component.
  • These individual manufacturing sections are, however, partly subdivided into subsections, whereby these subsections also contribute to the inclusion of contaminants in the material the component is always fed to a minimum, such as the metal powder parts of the selected titanium alloy and the constituents of the binder are selected in their composition such that each individual material constituent in its initial state already has the property of being low in contaminants Titanium alloy and the binder, the proportion of undesirable contaminants is set to the lowest possible base value, so that there is an inevitable increase in the amount of contamination during the process Cleaning substances of the material of the component in the final sum corresponding to the selected low basic contamination of the components of the titanium alloy and the binder are reduced
  • the production of the metal powder parts and the mixing of the metal powder parts with the binder components for feedstock production take place under the influence of high-purity protective gas, such as argon
  • high-purity protective gas such as argon
  • the sintering itself is carried out under a vacuum and the debinding is carried out in a commercial debinding bath, for example with hexane and thus with the exclusion of the presence of air and thus of oxygen, carbon, nitrogen and the like as contaminants
  • Each individual section of the manufacturing process of the complex-shaped components is subject to the goal of achieving the least possible accumulation of contaminants in each manufacturing step, as well as when the metal powder parts were produced in accordance with the invention.
  • a titanium alloy was selected for the high-quality stressing of the components produced, which has the composition T ⁇ -6Al-7Nb.
  • the metal powder parts of this titanium alloy which are low in contaminants, can be produced by two processes, namely the electrode induction melting guiding gas atomization process or the plasma melting induction guiding gas atomization process.
  • the metal powder parts for the titanium alloy mentioned are produced by means of an atomizing system with argon inert gas atomization, in which the metal powder parts which are depleted of inert gas are collected in the powder can flanged gas-tight to the atomizing system.
  • the powder can itself is gas-tight closable and is incorporated into a glove box system, which in turn is operated with argon gas, so that in the manufacture of the metal powder parts an absolutely small increase in contaminants such as oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, etc.
  • the rest of the entire mixture of binder components consists of binder components that react to higher melting, decomposition and / or evaporation temperatures compared to the low-melting binder components
  • Metal powder fractions of the titanium alloy are coated with binder components made of thermoplastic or thermoset polymers, with thermo-gelling substances, with waxes or surface-active substances or mixtures obtained therefrom.
  • a special binder has been selected for the production of the components according to the invention, which is used to reduce the entry of contaminants such as oxygen and Reduction of the residual binder in the component contributes
  • a further procedural measure in the production of highly complex components consists in the fact that during the sintering these components must not form a connection with their base during shrinking and should not be changed by contaminants which separate the base on which the components lie during sintering. the same conditions and prerequisites apply to the base for hot isostatic pressing, which can still be carried out for the components after sintering.
  • the sinter base for the components is therefore such explained that while the sintering of the components is carried out, the free slidability of the surface of the sintered base for the overlying components remains unchanged, which can be achieved, for example, by designing the surface of the sintered base with a material d he components of reduction-resistant material such as ceramic oxides happen at the same time, the material of the surface of the sintered base is selected so that the material does not emit contaminants at the sintering temperature.
  • This configuration of the sintered base is a particular advantage of the invention in order to avoid that the complex components are involved often very minimal structure on the sintered base and also during hot isostatic pressing do not warp or break by sticking to the surface and are not contaminated by contaminants with the respective base
  • Another advantage of the present invention is further provided by the selected manufacturing process of metal powder injection molding, in which the mixing of the metal powder parts with the binder components for feedstock production and also the metal molding of the feedstock in the injection molding machine take place at low temperatures, so that no reaction of the feedstock or Binder and metal parts of the feedstock with the mixer itself or, in particular, not with the injection mold in the injection molding machine, so that there are no surfaces on the complex-shaped components which react with the mold or with device parts and therefore do not need to be post-treated, that is that the surface is already in perfect condition, which enables extremely high reproducibility and dimensional accuracy and thus a near-net-shape production of a high-strength component by selecting a titanium alloy for production the metal powder injection molding process for complex

Powder can be used that has been produced by mechanical alloying or mechanical comminution he composition of individual titanium alloy components should be selected in such a way that each individual material component in its initial state already has the property of being low in impurities. The required purity of individual material components is based on the requirements placed on the finished end product component when it is used The individual material constituent of the metal powder parts must therefore already have the material properties required for the component to be produced. While the direct powder mixture was described above as the first possibility for producing metal powder parts, the exemplary embodiment in FIG. 1 assumes that pre-alloyed powder is used, for example in the form of a powder Finished alloy made of a rod.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé de production de composants par moulage par injection de poudre métallique de pièces en poudre métallique enduites d'un liant dans un moule à injection. Les pièces en poudre métallique d'un alliage de titane servent à produire des composants de forme complexe. Lors de la production des composants, on effectue les phases de production des pièces en poudre métallique destinées à l'alliage en titane, la production de la matière première avec un liant, le dégagement et le frittage exclusivement dans une atmosphère de protection ultrapure composée de gaz de protection et/ou en l'absence d'air et/ou sous vide. Les pièces en poudre métallique et les ingrédients du liant sont réalisés pauvres en impuretés. Le support de frittage des composants est conçu de telle façon que pendant le frittrage, les composants ayant une capacité de glissement libre de la surface du support de frittage destiné aux pièces posées dessus demeurent intactes. --
