Definitions
- the present invention relates to a mechanical process for generating nanostructures on metal parts and a mechanical device for generating nanostructures.
- Nanocrystalline materials are characterized by typically ultra fine grains of less than .100 nm in at least one dimension. These materials are produced by known methods such as, for example, IGC (inert gas condensation and consolidation) by condensation and consolidation in an inert gas, SPD (severe plastic deformation) intense plastic deformation, etc. These methods have the disadvantage to generate materials which are not without porosity, contamination and of sufficient size for industrial applications.
- the aim of the process of the invention is to create a layer of this same material on the surface of the material, having component grains of a few tens of nanometers forming what is commonly called a layer of nanoscale microstructures or nanostructures.
- Shot peening of the surface of a material for example metallic, consists in projecting on this surface projectiles, for example balls, of small dimension, at speeds of between 5 and 100 m / s.
- the balls are projected using a jet of compressed air.
- the balls are not immediately reused and pass through a recycling device before replenishing the jet lance or the absence of a process recycling device requires a large quantity of balls.
- each incident jet on the part is unidirectional at a determined angle for a given surface.
- continuous workpiece scanning is required during shot blasting to obtain a homogeneous surface.
- the results obtained show that the surface of the treated part comprises little or no nanostructures.
- the only advantage of the conventional shot-blasting process is that it is possible to obtain higher ball speeds than in the projection of balls by ultrasound. Indeed, the projection of balls by ultrasound makes it possible to obtain ball speeds between 5 and 20m / s, while shot peening by pneumatic gun makes it possible to obtain ball speeds between 10 and 100m / s.
- the displacement speeds envisaged in this patent application are only a few tens of centimeters per second and the amplitudes of the transmitter of 100 ⁇ m.
- the known operating mode does not allow a layer to be created without obtaining a nanometric structure over a significant depth.
- the present invention therefore aims to overcome the drawbacks of the prior art by proposing a process for generating nanostructures making it possible to obtain a layer of nanostructures over a determined thickness of the surface of a part to be treated by a mechanical device using a limited quantity of beads in a closed volume.
- This process is also called surface nanocrystallization by ball milling.
- This first object is achieved by a mechanical process of nanostructures to obtain on a surface of a metal part a layer of nanostructures of defined thickness characterized in that it comprises:
- the speed of the circular movement and the frequency and amplitude of the vibratory movement being determined as a function of the physical characteristics of the balls to communicate to them a kinetic energy sufficient for the creation of nanostructures on the material of the part to be treated.
- Another object of the invention consists in proposing a mechanical device for generating nanostructures making it possible to obtain a layer of nanostructures over a thickness determined by a mechanical device using a limited quantity of beads in a closed volume.
- This object is achieved thanks to the mechanical device for generating nanostructures on a metal part comprising at least one closed enclosure for the size of the beads containing a determined quantity of perfectly spherical beads of determined size, a means of connecting the enclosure to means generating a vibration communicated to the enclosure, the enclosure assembly, vibration means being mounted by damping means (31) on a turntable (30) with a determined speed.
- FIG. 2A shows in section an alternative embodiment of the invention with application of constraints
- FIG. 2B shows in section a top view of the wedge used in the alternative embodiment of the invention with application of constraints;
- FIG. 4A and 4B show the curve representing the rate and penetration of nitrogen during a treatment by ionic nitriding in a part treated according to the mechanical process of generation of nanostrutures according to the invention, respectively for a temperature of 550 and 350 ° C.
- the principle of the invention is to carry out a treatment of the surface of a metal part in order, on the one hand to modify the mechanical characteristics of the metal part, and on the other hand to modify the properties of diffusion in the surface layer of the treated surface.
- the mechanical properties of nanoscale microstructures or of nanostructure are well known.
- current research aims to develop manufacturing processes allowing parts to be obtained which consist solely of nanostructures.
- the object of the invention is quite different, it consists, by means of a process for generating nanostructures (described later) to produce a surface layer of nanostructures giving, the surface of the part, the properties, for example mechanical properties desired, this being sufficient to guarantee the properties targeted for the part (resistance to fatigue, wear, friction, corrosion).
- the size of the metal grains on the surface of the part must be reduced. Initially, for a part, for example made of pure iron, the grains have a dimension of the order of 100 ⁇ m. At the end of the treatment according to the invention, the size of the grains is no more than of the order of a few tens of nanometers.
- Figure 1 shows a diagram of a mechanical device for generating nanostrutures by ball milling.
- the principle of generation of nanostructures by ball milling according to FIG. 1, is to put a determined quantity of perfectly spherical balls (22) in motion and determined speed to communicate kinetic energy to them allowing them to go and impact. at the same point on the surface to be treated at varying angles of incidence and sufficient energy to create nanostructures.
- the balls (22) chosen to strike the surface (10) to be treated are perfectly spherical and of high quality.
- the balls (22) chosen are ball bearing balls. Given their quality, their use is carried out in a determined quantity.
- the use of perfectly spherical steel, green or ceramic balls (22) avoids the localized accumulation of stresses which, upon impact of the ball, would damage the material. This perfect sphericity therefore makes it possible to generate plastic deformation of the surface of the material during the process of forming the layer of nanostructures. The repetition of multidirectional plastic deformations then leads to a fractionation of the grains of the metal or of the alloy of the part to be treated and therefore a reduction in their sizes.
- An embodiment of the invention shown in Figure 1 consists of an arm or tray (32) carrying at least one end a bowl, in this case in the figure two bowls are shown at two ends of the arm (32).
- This arm (32) is linked to a structure (35) comprising a non-visible motor driving an axis (33) on which is mounted an inertial part (34) consisting, for example, of a mass in the form of a circular sector (34 ).
- the motor driving the axis (33) gives this inertial mass a speed V which, taking into account the asymmetry, will generate within the structure (35) a vibration which is communicated by its connection with the arm (32). This vibration is transmitted by the arm (32) to each bowl (20a, 20b).
- This structure consisting of the arm of the inertial system and at least one bowl is mounted on one or more damping means (31a, 31b), in this case, in the exemplary embodiment, damping means are arranged below each of the bowls so as to give symmetry of movement and thus more easily control the vibrations generated.
- damping means (31a, 31b) are supported by a plate (30), which is actuated in a rotary movement in a direction by means of rotation drive not shown.
- the vibratory movement communicated by the inertial system (33, 34, 35) or bowls (20a, 20b) is of direction substantially perpendicular to the plane of the plate or in other words, parallel to the axis of rotation of the plate.
- the frequency of the vibrations as well as the amplitude of these vibrations are adapted as a function of the speed of rotation of the plate, so as to communicate to the balls a determined speed allowing them to acquire sufficient kinetic energy for the creation of nanostructures.
- the balls (22) derive their energy from the movement of the bowl and will strike the surface of the part (10) a large number of times according to variable and multiple angles of incidence, creating at each impact a plastic deformation of the grains formed, of an agglomerate of matter or alloy molecules.
- the ball having lost its energy in contact with the part (10) falls on the walls of the bowl (20) to acquire a new speed in a direction which, seen from the part, seems random but determined by physical laws.
- the bowl (20) can be closed, either by the part (10a) which then constitutes a cover for the bowl, or by a cover (203a, 203b) on which the part (10a) is fixed.
- This last variant allows to realize in the enclosure closed constituted by the bowl (20a respectively 20b) and its associated cover (203a respectively 203b) an orifice (204a respectively 204b) making it possible to create a vacuum inside this enclosure to promote the movement of the balls.
- the enclosure is perceived as closed for the sizes of the balls.
- the inertial system (33, 34, 35) can be replaced by a sonotrode communicating to the arm (32) a vibration of sufficient amplitude and frequency.
- a sonotrode communicating to the arm (32) a vibration of sufficient amplitude and frequency.
- the surface to be treated can be put under mechanical stress, for example by clamping the part (10) with suitable gripping means (21).
- gripping means are, for example, constituted by a sole (21.2) on which are mounted clamps (21.1) to clamp the part against a protective wedge (21.3) interposed between the part (10) and the sole (21.2) ).
- a rod (21.4) passing through the holes (21.21 and 21.31) of the sole (21.2) and the shim (21.3) applies a force to the part (10) retained by the flanges (21.1).
- the pressure force can be obtained by threading the rod 21.4 and screwing it into a threaded hole (21.21) formed in the sole (21.2).
- the invention is not limited to the embodiments described but includes any mode for applying mechanical stresses in one or more places in a part.
- several rods can be provided to apply different stresses in several places to obtain different thicknesses of nanostructures proportional to the value of the stresses applied at the respective points.
- traction means on each of the ends of the part make it possible to stress it.
- These means consist, for example, of an upper plate (31) and a lower plate (32) kept spaced apart by an adjustable distance by three tie rods (33) arranged at 120 ° and stressing the ends of the part in traction. made integral with each tray.
- the part can, for example, pass through each plate through orifices and come to bear against the surface of each plate facing outwards by means of rings forming shoulders and made integral with the ends of the part by a transverse locking screw. to the ring.
- the plates, in particular that (32) oriented towards the projectile emission zone, are provided, as shown in FIG.
- the applied stress may be thermal.
- the surface to be treated is heated, either entirely to obtain a uniform thickness of nanocrystalline structures over the entire surface of the part subjected to the bombardment of beads, or locally to obtain variations in thickness of nanocrystalline structures.
- radiant or conduction heating means are installed in the bowl or on the workpiece or in the machine's acoustic enclosure.
- Nanostructures are then obtained over a thickness of several hundred microns.
- the increase in the thickness of the nanostructure layer can be achieved by seeking a compromise between the value of the stress and the temperature rise.
- the choice of the different parameters involved in the process of generating nanostructures is important.
- experiments have shown that the larger the beads used, in a dimension range of the order of a few hundred microns to a few millimeters, the larger the layer of nanostructure obtained.
- the processing time is used to determine the thickness of the nanostructure.
- the general principle for choosing the parameters of the process for generating nanostructures according to the invention is that, the greater the kinetic energy of the beads, the greater the level of stress generated in the sublayer.
- the upper limit of the kinetic energy is defined, in particular by heating caused by the release of this kinetic energy during the impact on the surface to be treated and by the resistance mechanical of the balls and of the material constituting the part. This drawback can be reduced or eliminated by cooling the enclosure or the room with a cooling system. Indeed, as explained above, the rise in temperature tends to make the metal grains magnify, and the material must not crack.
- the hardness of the balls plays a role, in particular in the transfer of the kinetic energy from the ball to the surface of the part.
- the acoustic pressure generated by the sound waves also influences the process of generating the nanostructure.
- the generation of nanostructures by ultrasound or the projection of jets of balls can be carried out in a medium containing a specific gas modifying the mechanical behavior or the chemical composition of the surface of the material during impact of the balls .
- the surface to be treated must be exposed to a generation of nanostructures by ultrasound for 2 to 3 min with beads 3mm in diameter.
- the surface to be treated must be exposed to a generation of nanostructures by ultrasound for approximately 400 s with balls of 300 ⁇ m in diameter.
- the treatment time per generation of nanostructures is between 30 and 1300 s for conventional metallic materials (Fe, Ti, Ni, Al, Cu, etc.). The total time required can be extended or reduced depending on the material.
- the diameter of the beads used is between 300 ⁇ m and 3mm.
- the duration of generation of nanostructures is determined as a function of the thickness of nanostructures desired by the user.
- the whole mechanism can be placed inside an acoustic enclosure (25) allowing noise to be reduced so as to make it compatible with standards. acceptable for work.
- This enclosure (25) can be sealed and provided with means (26) for diffusion or vaporization (shown in dotted lines) allowing the performance of one or more of the chemical or thermochemical treatments described below.
- the bowl thanks to its circulation channel (204a, 204b), allows the penetration of chemical or thermochemical treatments.
- the part to be treated it may be useful to treat it, either initially under vacuum or in an inert atmosphere, for example to avoid oxidation, then in a second time with the diffusion of specific chemical compounds allowing to obtain the mechanical, physical or chemical properties interesting for the part.
- the generation of nanostructures on the treated surface of the part (10) causes a modification of the law of diffusion in the zone treated by multiplication of the number of borders between the grains, these borders then constituting as many nanometric channels allowing the diffusion of chemical compounds having a size of the order of a few atoms. This allows better penetration of chemical compounds.
- FIGS. 4A and 4B represent the curve representing the rate and the penetration of nitrogen during ionic nitriding for a temperature of 550 ° C. and 350 ° C.

- the nitrogen content decreases rapidly to a rate corresponding to the rate obtained according to the nitriding process of the prior art.
- the rate of nitrogen is 17 times higher than the rate of the piece not surface treated. Then, the nitrogen level decreases slowly in the thickness of the part comprising the nanostructure, in the end being equal to the rate obtained according to the nitriding process of the prior art when the layer of the part no longer comprises nanostructures. It should be noted that the nitriding process according to the prior art is carried out only from a certain temperature, close to 550 ° C., for a steel or carbon part.
- the pretreatment of the part makes it possible not only to obtain a good structure on the surface of a part, but also to lower the treatment temperature while retaining, in the case of treatment at 350 ° C., a nitrogen level higher than the rate obtained without treatment by generation of nanostructures according to the invention.
- nitriding must be carried out at a temperature of approximately 550 ° C., however at this temperature a metal part necessarily undergoes deformations. For parts whose geometric precision is essential, such deformations are not admissible, which consequently prohibits nitriding according to the method of the prior art.
- the process for generating nanostructures according to the invention it is therefore possible to lower the treatment temperature and therefore to reduce or eliminate the deformations of the part. Consequently, precision parts can undergo nitriding, which was impossible according to the prior art.
- the preliminary treatment according to the process for generating nanostructures of the invention also makes it possible to reduce the duration of the treatment.
