Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a metal matrix composite based on boron steel and produced by spray forming.
  • Boron steel is a type of steel that is well known for exhibiting good wear resistance. Therefore boron steel is typically used when extra resistance towards mechanical stress is needed, e.g. in gear-shift levers, agricultural machines and the like.
  • Ceramic particles typically used are carbides, oxides, and nitrides.
  • the metal matrix composite according to the invention is based on boron steel, defined as containing at least 0.0010 % boron by weight, preferably 0.001-0.1 % boron, more preferably 0.0015-0.02 % boron, and most preferably 0.002-0.004 % boron by weight.
  • the carbon steel may preferably be hardened and tempered.
  • the metal matrix composite may be produced by any conventional kind of spray forming, however, it is preferred that the metal matrix composite is produced by the method according to the invention.
  • the metal matrix composite comprises ceramic particles, which should preferably exhibit a considerable hardness, i.e. the ceramic particles should exhibit a hardness greater than 800 HV, preferably greater than 1200 HV, more preferably greater than 1800 HV.
  • the ceramic particles may be selected from a group of materials consisting of A1_0 3 , A1N, BeO, B 4 C, CeO_, Cr 3 C_, MgO, MoSi., Mo_C, NbC, Si 3 N 4 , SiO_, ThO_, TiB_, TiC, VC, WC, WSi_, ZrB_, ZrC, and ZrO_.
  • the ceramic particles are selected among A1:0 3 , TiC, ZrO , VC, MgO, WC, and SiO : .
  • the amount of ceramic particles added has great influence on the wear resistance.
  • the optimal amount may depend on the combination of materials in the matrix, the actual condition for use of the matrix, as well as the average particle size.
  • the average distance between two ceramic particles may influence the wear resistance, as it is more difficult for a particle in the material which is worn against the present material, hereinafter named as a wearing particle, to dig into the surface of the matrix between the ceramic particles, if the average distance between the particles is less than the average particle size of the wearing particle.
  • a high content of ceramic particles with a small particle size in combination with a short distance between them therefore provides a preferred embodiment.
  • the amount of ceramic particles added may e.g. be up to 30 ' -- (v/v) , preferably from 4 to 30 % (v/v) , more preferably from 8 to 25 % (v/v) , most preferably from 10 to 20 % (v/v) . If the matrix material itself is too soft, wearing particles of a larger size than the ceramic particles may be able to dig out the ceramic particles from the surface of the matrix. If, however, the matrix is sufficiently hard, the wearing particle will not be able to dig into the material, and the ceramic particles will actually crack the wearing particles.
  • the wearing particle will, provided the hardness of the matrix is sufficient, be unable to remove the ceramic particle.
  • the average size of the ceramic particles is therefore selected m view of the final use of the product.
  • the average size of the ceramic particles may be from 0.1 ⁇ m to 1 mm, preferably from 0.2 ⁇ m to 500 ⁇ , more preferably from 20 ⁇ m to 180 ⁇ m.
  • the composite material is based on steel, which is a suitable material exhibiting the desired properties, such as malleability, capability of being tempered to a hardness sufficient to support the ceramic particles when they are subjected to hard wear and sufficiently ductility.
  • the matrix material is able to be work hardened m order to minimize any spreading of possible crackings .
  • compositions of the steel may be influenced by the composition of the steel, depending of the type of ceramic used.
  • Preferred embodiments comprise metal matrix composites based on boron steel with nominal compositions as follows :
  • the metal matrix composite according to the invention may further comprise impurities, such as minor amounts of Cu, Ti, Al, Ni, P, or S.
  • the metal matrix composite may further comprise one or more alloy elements selected among Al, Ti, Li, Mg, Ca, Zr, Ni, V, Y, Nb, S, and P, preferably selected among Ti, Li, and Mg .
  • the total amount of alloy elements may be between 0.1 and 10.5 % by weight, preferably between 0.15 and 6 % by weight, more preferably between 0.2 and 4 % by weight .
  • the invention further relates to a method for preparing a metal matrix composite comprising the steps of:
  • boron steel containing at least 0.0010 % boron by weight, preferably with a nominal composition of 0.1-0.65 % C, 0.0-2.0 % Mn, 0.0-0.5 % Si, 0.0-1.0 % Cr, and 0.001-0.02 % B,
  • the ceramic particles are selected from a group consisting of A1_0 3 , A1N, BeO, B 4 C, CeO_, Cr 3 C_, MgO, MoSi_, Mo_C, NbC, Si 3 N 4 SiO_, ThO_, TiB_, TiC, VC, WC, WSi_, ZrB_, ZrC, ZrO_.
  • the boron steel may of course have a different nominal composition, e.g. one of the above-mentioned compositions .
  • the ceramic particles should exhibit a hardness greater than 800 HV, preferably greater than 1200 HV and most preferably greater than 1800 HV.
  • the melted steel may optionally be divided into two or more streams; preferably the steel is divided into 2 streams .
  • the ceramic particles are mixed with a gas essentially free of oxygen, which gas may be e.g. nitrogen, argon, and helium.
  • a gas essentially free of oxygen which gas may be e.g. nitrogen, argon, and helium.
  • the distance between the point of atomising and the substrate is adjustable.
  • the temperature of the droplets should preferably be sufficiently high to keep the droplets melted m the initial contact with the substrate, so as to amalgamate on the substrate.
  • the temperature of the droplets should preferably be sufficiently low to allow for a fast solidification of the material.
  • the pressure within the reaction chamber is held above atmosphere pressure.
  • the distribution of the particles is sufficiently homogenous. Further, the porosity of the material should be sufficiently low.
  • the invention also relates to a metal matrix composite produced by the method according to the invention.
  • Figure 1 shows a spray-forming unit suitable for the process according to the invention.
  • Figure 2 shows a system of gas nozzles.
  • a spray-forming unit comprises a closed container (1) with a separate melting chamber (2) and an atomisation chamber (3) . Inside the melting chamber (2) there is a crucible (4) for melting the metal equipped with an outlet (7) and a stopper rod (5) . In the atomisation chamber (3) the substrate (6) is arranged. At the bottom of the container (1) there is an outlet (8) for gasses and excess powder.
  • Figure 2 shows a system of gas nozzles consisting of three rings for inlet of primary gas (12), secondary gas (13), and particle gas (14) arranged around the outlet (11) from a crucible (not shown in the figure) .
  • a boron steel with the following composition was spray formed with addition of A1 : 0 3 particles with a median size of 135 ⁇ m.
  • a spray forming unit according to figure 1 was used. First, the chambers were evacuated and then filled with nitrogen until the pressure was larger than that of the surroundings. In the melting chamber the metal was melted in a crucible. When the melt reached 1630°C (measured in the centre of the stopper rod) , the stopper rod was lifted and the melt was let out through the bottom of the crucible. Around the outlet from the crucible three rings of gas nozzles were arranged as described in Fig. 2. As primary gas, used to stabilise the melt stream, nitrogen was used. As the secondary gas, the atomisation gas, nitrogen was used, in order to split the gas into droplets. The particle gas, for carrying the particles into the spray cone, was nitrogen. Other parameters, such as gas pressure and spray distance were as follows:
  • the particles are mixed with the gas before they are injected into the chamber.
  • the droplets were collected on a rotating substrate where they amalgamated. Because of the fast solidification, the matrix retained the particles and they were distributed homogeneously throughout the main part of the cross section area.
  • the metal matrix composition produced was tested for tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, abrasive wear, and hardness by standard methods.
  • the specific content was determined to be 8.9 and 6.2 % pr. volume, respectively, for each sample of the material.
  • the wear test is an ASTM G65 standard abrasive test with modified abrasive particles. The results therefore cannot be compared to other values achieved by that standard.
  • the hardness of the material has not been significantly decreased by the addition of particles, and especially the elongation value is considerably higher than it could be expected for a metal matrix composite.
