VERFAHREN ZUM HERSTELLEN EINES BAUTEILS IN EINER FUNKENPLASMASINTERANLAGE Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Herstellen eines Bauteils in einer Spark-Plasma-Sintering-Anlage . The invention relates to a method for producing a component in a spark plasma sintering system. 2. Discussion of the Related Art
Die Herstellung von Bauteilen, die aus mehreren für den Hochtemperatureinsatz geeigneten Materialien zusammengesetzt sind, erfolgt beispielsweise durch druckloses Sintern bei 2.000 °C bis ca. 2.300 °C, durch heißisostatisches Pressen (HIP) bei 1.700 °C bis ca. 2.300 °C oder durch Spark-Plasma- Sintern bei 2.000 °C bis ca. 2.300 °C. Hierzu gehören unter anderem gradierte Keramiken, in denen eine Abfolge von unter- schiedlichen Materialen (z.B. verschiedene Wärmeausdehnungskoeffizienten) aufeinander folgt. Auch Drehanoden mit einem Grundkörper, einem Energiespeicher und einer Brennbahn gehören zu dieser Art von Bauteilen. Die Herstellung der Bauteile erfolgt jeweils einzeln, d.h. jedes Werkstück wird aus Pul- vern grob in eine der Zielkontur nahe Form gebracht und dann bei hohen Temperaturen in einer Vorrichtung gesintert. The production of components that are composed of several materials suitable for high temperature use, for example, by pressureless sintering at 2000 ° C to about 2300 ° C, by hot isostatic pressing (HIP) at 1700 ° C to about 2300 ° C or by Spark plasma sintering at 2,000 ° C to about 2,300 ° C. These include, among others, graded ceramics in which a succession of different materials (e.g., different coefficients of thermal expansion) follow each other. Rotary anodes with a base body, an energy storage and a focal path also belong to this type of components. The production of the components takes place individually, i. Each workpiece is roughly shaped from powder into one of the target contour and then sintered at high temperatures in a device.
Ein Verfahren zum Herstellen eines Grundkörpers für eine Drehanode einer Röntgenröhre ist beispielsweise aus der A method for producing a base body for a rotary anode of an X-ray tube is, for example, from
DE 10 2011 083 064 B4 bekannt. Im bekannten Fall wird ein keramischer Grundkörper einer Drehanode mittels Spark-Plasma- Sintering einzeln hergestellt. Materialien für den Grundkörper sind z.B. Siliziumcarbid (SiC) oder Titandiborid (TiB2) . Weiterhin ist in der DE 10 2012 210 355 AI ein Verfahren zum Herstellen einer Drehanode für eine Röntgenröhre beschrieben, bei welchem ein einzelner Grundkörper aus einer Keramik auf der Basis von Siliziumcarbid (SiC) erzeugt und separat mit einer Wolframbrennbahn versehen wird. Zwischen der Wolfram- brennbahn und dem Grundkörper wird eine Zwischenschicht erzeugt, die zumindest ein Wolframsilicid (WSi) und/oder Wolf- ramcarbid (WC) umfasst. Die Wolframbrennbahn kann durch Diffusionsschweißen, orbitales Reibschweißen, selektives Laser-
schmelzen oder durch Spark-Plasma-Sintern (SPS) aufgebracht werden. Spark-Plasma-Sintern wird auch als Field Assisted Sintering Technology (FAST, feldaktiviertes Sintern) oder als Pulsed Electric Current Sintering (PECS) bezeichnet. DE 10 2011 083 064 B4 known. In the known case, a ceramic base body of a rotary anode is produced individually by means of spark plasma sintering. Materials for the main body include silicon carbide (SiC) or titanium diboride (TiB 2 ). Furthermore, DE 10 2012 210 355 A1 describes a method for producing a rotary anode for an X-ray tube, in which a single base body is produced from a ceramic based on silicon carbide (SiC) and provided separately with a tungsten filament. Between the tungsten focal path and the base body, an intermediate layer is produced which comprises at least one tungsten silicide (WSi) and / or tungsten carbide (WC). The tungsten filament may be made by diffusion welding, orbital friction welding, selective laser melt or by spark plasma sintering (SPS) are applied. Spark plasma sintering is also referred to as Field Assisted Sintering Technology (FAST, field activated sintering) or Pulsed Electric Current Sintering (PECS).
Ferner offenbart die WO 2012/097393 AI ein pulvermetallurgisches Herstellverfahren für Drehanoden, bei der das als Pulver vorliegende Ausgangsmaterial durch Verpressen, Sintern und Schmieden einer Wärmebehandlung unterzogen wird. Furthermore, WO 2012/097393 Al discloses a powder metallurgical production process for rotating anodes, in which the starting material in powder form is subjected to a heat treatment by pressing, sintering and forging.
Bei den bekannten Verfahren zur Herstellung von Bauteilen müssen die Bauteile jeweils einzeln und damit entsprechend zeitaufwendig gefertigt werden. Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es deshalb, ein Verfahren der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, das eine Herstellung von mehreren Bauteilen mit einem deutlich reduzierten Zeitaufwand ermöglicht. Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch ein Verfahren nach Anspruch 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind jeweils Gegentand von weiteren Ansprüchen. In the known method for the production of components, the components must be made individually and therefore correspondingly time-consuming. Object of the present invention is therefore to provide a method of the type mentioned, which allows the production of several components with a significantly reduced expenditure of time. The object is achieved by a method according to claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are in each case the subject of further claims.
Das Verfahren nach Anspruch 1 dient zum Herstellen eines Bau- teils in einer Spark-Plasma-Sintering-Anlage, die eine obere Elektrode und eine untere Elektrode umfasst. Erfindungsgemäß sind zwischen der oberen Elektrode und der unteren Elektrode Materialien für wenigstens zwei Bauteile übereinander angeordnet, wobei zwischen den Materialien der wenigstens zwei Bauteile jeweils ein Trennmittel eingebracht ist, welches während des Verfahrens lösbar bleibt. Da das Trennmittel während des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens lösbar bleibt, also nicht sintert, können die nach Abschluss des Verfahrens gesinterten Bauteile problemlos voneinander getrennt werden. The method according to claim 1 is used to produce a component in a spark plasma sintering system comprising an upper electrode and a lower electrode. According to the invention, materials for at least two components are arranged one above the other between the upper electrode and the lower electrode, wherein in each case a separating agent is introduced between the materials of the at least two components, which remains releasable during the process. Since the release agent remains soluble during the process according to the invention, ie does not sinter, the components sintered after completion of the process can be easily separated from one another.
Die bei dem Verfahren gemäß Anspruch 1 verwendete Spark- Plasma-Sintering-Anlage (SPS-Anlage) umfasst beispielsweise einen Tiegel in Form eines Hohlzylinders, in dem eine obere
Elektrode und eine untere Elektrode eingepasst sind. Eine derartige SPS-Anlage ist z.B. aus der US 2013/0052442 AI bekannt. Tiegel und Elektroden, die das eigentliche Presswerkzeug bilden, sind aus Grafit hergestellt. Das pulverförmige bzw. körnerförmige Material wird direkt in das Presswerkzeug gefüllt und manuell vorverdichtet. Während der eigentlichen Sinterprozedur wird ein gepulster Strom mit hoher Stromstärke und niedriger Spannung durch das Presswerkzeug und durch den Sinterkörper geleitet. Im Rahmen der Erfindung müssen die Ma- terialien nicht zwingend pulverförmig oder körnerförmig sein. Vielmehr können die Materialien zumindest teilweise alternativ oder zusätzlich auch als Halbzeuge, beispielsweise Folien oder (monolithische) Grundkörper, ausgebildet sein. The spark plasma sintering system (SPS system) used in the method according to claim 1, for example, comprises a crucible in the form of a hollow cylinder, in which a top Electrode and a lower electrode are fitted. Such a PLC system is known for example from US 2013/0052442 AI. Crucibles and electrodes, which form the actual pressing tool, are made of graphite. The pulverulent or granular material is filled directly into the pressing tool and pre-compressed manually. During the actual sintering procedure, a high current, low voltage pulsed current is passed through the die and through the sintered body. In the context of the invention, the materials do not necessarily have to be pulverulent or granular. Rather, the materials may be at least partially alternatively or additionally also as semi-finished products, such as films or (monolithic) base body formed.
Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren handelt es sich also um ein Spark-Plasma-Sintering-Verfahren (SPS-Verfahren) , bei dem die Materialien (z.B. Pulver, Körner, Halbzeuge usw.) für alle Bauteile, zumindest jedoch für zwei Bauteile, zwischen der oberen Elektrode und der unteren Elektrode übereinander angeordnet sind. Damit durchströmt der elektrische Strom The method according to the invention is therefore a spark plasma sintering method (SPS method), in which the materials (eg powder, grains, semi-finished products, etc.) for all components, but at least for two components, between the upper Electrode and the lower electrode are arranged one above the other.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend exemplarisch an der gleichzeitigen Herstellung von wenigstens zwei Bauteilen erläutert. Bei der nachfolgenden Beschreibung handelt es sich um den speziellen Fall der Herstellung von Drehanoden. The invention is explained below by way of example with the simultaneous production of at least two components. The following description is the specific case of manufacturing rotary anodes.
Mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren können in einem Spark- Plasma-Sintering-Prozess , mehrere Bauteile (Drehanoden) gleichzeitig hergestellt werden. Hierbei werden jeweils ein Grundkörper aus Titan-Zirkon-With the method according to the invention, several components (rotary anodes) can be produced simultaneously in a spark plasma sintering process. Here, a basic body made of titanium-zirconium
Molybdän (TZM) und ein Energiespeicher aus Grafit sowie eine Brennbahn aus Wolfram miteinander verbunden. Der Grundkörper ist hierbei z.B. als Plättchen bzw. als Platte ausgeführt, wohingegen der Energiespeicher z.B. als Ronde ausgeführt ist. Alternativ können sowohl der Grundkörper als auch der Energiespeicher jeweils als Ronde ausgeführt sein. Molybdenum (TZM) and an energy storage of graphite and a tungsten interconnect connected. The basic body is in this case e.g. as a plate or as a plate, whereas the energy storage, e.g. is executed as Ronde. Alternatively, both the main body and the energy storage can each be designed as Ronde.
Das Material (Wolfram) für die Brennbahn kann dazu in die SPS-Anlage z.B. als Pulver eingebracht werden. Das Wolfram- pulver wird dabei sowohl gesintert (und dabei verdichtet) , als auch mit dem vorgefertigten Grundkörper (TZM) verbunden. Gleichzeitig wird der Grundkörper (TZM) mit dem vorgefertigten Energiespeicher (Grafit) verbunden. Im Rahmen der Erfindung müssen der Grundkörper und der Energiespeicher nicht notwendigerweise als vorgefertigte Halbzeuge vorliegen. Vielmehr ist es auch möglich, dass die Materialien für den Grundkörper und/oder den Energiespeicher gemein-
sam mit dem Material der Brennbahn jeweils in Pulverform in die SPS-Anlage eingebracht werden. The material (tungsten) for the focal path can be introduced into the PLC system, eg as powder. The tungsten powder is both sintered (and compacted), as well as connected to the prefabricated body (TZM). At the same time, the basic body (TZM) is connected to the prefabricated energy store (graphite). In the context of the invention, the base body and the energy storage need not necessarily be present as prefabricated semi-finished products. Rather, it is also possible that the materials for the main body and / or the energy storage sam with the material of the focal path in each case in powder form in the PLC system are introduced.
Die Anzahl der gleichzeitig hergestellten Anoden ist hierbei nur durch die Bauhöhe der SPS-Anlage begrenzt. The number of anodes produced at the same time is limited only by the height of the PLC system.
Es hat sich als vorteilhaft erwiesen, wenn vor dem Beginn der Herstellung in die SPS-Anlage wenigstens eine Trennschicht eingebracht wird. Eine obere Trennschicht ist auf dem obers- ten Bauteil und/oder eine untere Trennschicht ist unter dem untersten Bauteil angeordnet. Die Trennschichten sind beispielsweise aus einer kohlenstoffabsorbierenden dünnen Folie, z.B. einer Molybdänfolie, hergestellt. Falls die Elektroden, die Teil des eigentlichen Presswerkzeugs sind, aus Grafit ge- fertigt sind, werden durch diese Maßnahme Verunreinigungen der Materialien durch Kohlenstoff zuverlässig verhindert. Derartige Verunreinigungen sind nachteilig, da sie zu einer Versprödung der Brennbahn durch Bildung von Wolframcarbid (WC) führen können. Das Molybdän dient in diesem Fall also als Opfermaterial, da es nicht mehr wiederverwendet werden kann . It has proved to be advantageous if at least one separating layer is introduced into the PLC system before the start of production. An upper separating layer is arranged on the uppermost component and / or a lower separating layer is arranged under the lowermost component. The release layers are for example made of a carbon-absorbing thin film, e.g. a molybdenum foil produced. If the electrodes, which are part of the actual pressing tool, are made of graphite, this measure reliably prevents contamination of the materials by carbon. Such impurities are disadvantageous because they can lead to embrittlement of the focal path by formation of tungsten carbide (WC). The molybdenum in this case serves as a sacrificial material, since it can not be reused.
Jeweils über einem Bauteil und unter einem Bauteil ist erfindungsgemäß ein Trennmittel, z.B. pulverförmiges Bornitrid, eingebracht. In each case above a component and below a component is according to the invention a release agent, e.g. powdered boron nitride introduced.
Nach Durchführung einer Vielzahl von Versuchen werden für die Herstellung von Drehanoden derzeit eine Temperatur von ca. 1.650 °C bis ca. 1.700 °C, ein Druck von ca. 40 MPa und eine Haltezeit von ca. 30 min als optimal betrachtet. After carrying out a large number of experiments, a temperature of about 1650 ° C. to about 1700 ° C., a pressure of about 40 MPa and a holding time of about 30 min are currently regarded as optimal for the production of rotary anodes.
Wie aus der Beschreibung des erfindungsgemäßen SPS-Verfahrens anhand der Herstellung von Drehanoden ersichtlich ist, können mit diesem Verfahren mehr als eine Drehanode pro Sinterpro- zess hergestellt werden. As can be seen from the description of the SPS process according to the invention on the basis of the production of rotary anodes, more than one rotary anode per sintering process can be produced with this process.
Obwohl die Erfindung anhand der Herstellung einer Drehanode erläutert ist, versteht es sich für den Fachmann von selbst,
dass das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren zur Herstellung beliebiger Bauteile geeignet ist.
Although the invention is explained with reference to the production of a rotary anode, it is obvious to the person skilled in the art, that the inventive method is suitable for the production of any components.
