Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a blade or a multilayer material for a blade or blade.
  • a multilayer material having at least three layers, wherein in the multilayer material metal layers (including unalloyed or alloyed metallic layers understood - eg alloyed steels, unalloyed or alloyed titanium (eg Ti6A17Nb) etc - hereinafter, whether alloyed or unalloyed, simply referred to as metal layers) and hard material layers (ceramic or amorphous layers) are arranged alternately.
  • the present invention relates, inter alia, to a cutting edge made of such a multilayer material or a blade having a cutting edge, the blade having such a multilayer material at least in the area of the cutting edge.
  • this multilayer material is not a subsequently applied superficial coating or superficial treatment of a blade or cutting edge previously produced from a single substrate, as known, for example, from WO 2013010072 A1.
  • this multilayer material is the actual material of the cutting edge, that is to say the material from which the cutting edge itself consists and from which at least part of the cutting edge geometry is produced. The cutting edge produced from this material can then be coated as superficially as is usual with steel blades.
  • the present invention is based, inter alia, on the idea of providing a corrosion-resistant multi-layer or multilayer material comprising nano-, micro- (layers on the cutting edge) and / or macro lamellae (surface layer (s), carrier material) that performs differently than homogeneous blade materials its heterogeneous structure has advantageous mechanical properties.
  • Blades or cutting edges made of this material can be used in everyday use, among other things, for chipless cutting or shearing of relatively soft materials (eg biological tissue, textile lines, etc.), but also for cutting production processes (eg according to DIN 8580) of materials low hardness (eg wood, plastic and especially hair, etc.) are used.
  • the cutting edges according to the invention are characterized not only by an increased edge retention in relation to cutting edges the uncoated, single-coated or multi-coated steels usually used for this purpose (as are known, for example, from US Pat. Nos. 5,056,227, 6,684,513 B1 and WO 2013010072 A1), but also by increased cutting ability compared to cutting edges made of technical ceramics (cf., for example, US Pat. No. 3,543,402 A , US 5,077,901 A and US 7,140,113 B2).
  • the present invention makes it possible to realize cutting with higher edge retention than conventional razor blades and higher cutting ability than ceramics. This results in a combination of cutting ability and edge retention, as they did not exist before and how it has been technically not yet realized.
  • the properties of metals with the properties of ceramics, or amorphous layers, in the form of two-dimensional lamellae are so often technically combined together that optimum cutting edge geometries at the tip of the blade, e.g. those of razor blades made of steel, can be realized. At the same time the mechanical properties of these are exceeded.
  • MMCs metal matrix composite materials
  • a binder metal phase in hard metal, for example cobalt, iron or nickel, in cermets the aforementioned but also eg molybdenum
  • the hard materials usually particles of eg tungsten carbide). or titanium / tantalum carbide, but also diamond etc.
  • fibers of eg silicon carbide, in which MMCs are embedded.
  • the particles previously used for hard metals and cermets have particle sizes in the range of 0.2 ⁇ to over 50 ⁇ . This is hindering the production of the finest micro- and nanoscopic sclline geometry, which must be realized with wedge-shaped structures down to the single-digit nanometer range.
  • ceramic fibers improve the tensile strength and other important mechanical parameters of the material class; However, cutting can not be realized in this way, since the fibers are also a hindrance in the production of nanostructures.
  • steel cutting edges reinforced with superficial amorphous or ceramic layers can have a higher edge retention compared to uncoated steel blades, they still have the distinct disadvantage that the metallic substrate gives way to the cutting edge after a long dynamic or static load and mechanically becomes unstable, whereby the hard outer coating breaks and therefore can not maintain the edge retention of the blade alone.
  • a function preservation of the cutting edge geometry of steel blades can be extended by high-quality coatings to approximately ten times the service life, compared to steel blades without coating.
  • the plastic deformability of the metallic substrate which is initially an advantage in the production of filigree cutting geometry, is However, with appropriate use of the blade but also responsible for the continuous destruction of the same.
  • the multilayer material of the present invention effectively combines metal (any metallic alloys or elemental metals) and hard material (ceramic or amorphous material) so as to cause breakage of the blade caused by external cutting forces and counteracted in the long term.
  • the present invention has about 100 times the resistance to external dynamic loads compared to uncoated steel blades.
  • martensitic steels contain the finest carbides, but these are uniformly distributed throughout the volume in the form of compact particle aggregates, with diameters in the range of a few nanometers and above. Although this increases the hardness of the material and allows very fine cutting to be made therefrom, however, these carbides do not effectively block the movement of lattice defects in the volume, and the blade can plastically deform. However, if the blade contains too many carbides, the material breaks easily (as is the case with ceramic materials) because it is then brittle. Cracking and crack propagation, which normally results in breakage and failure of blade function in ceramic and amorphous materials, are both effectively suppressed by the present invention.
  • the adjacent metallic layers not only retard the propagation of cracks within the layer in which the crack has formed by reducing stress at the cracking site at the boundary layers to adjacent metal layers, but also prevent the cracks from spreading to the next hard layers.
  • the microcrack within a layer also remains in this layer. This is possible because cracking causes local dislocation movements at the interfaces to the metal. These are not only responsible for a reduction of the stresses in the hard material layers, but at the same time cause local solidification in the metallic layers (limit volume metal / hard material), whereby the crack propagation within the layer can be delayed or even stopped. The function of this hard material layer is thereby retained. Again, the individual layers of hard material are separated by two-dimensional metal layers, spatially isolated from each other.
  • the entire material reacts elastically to bending forces due to the laminar bond and therefore does not break as easily as, for example, ceramic blades.
  • another key advantage that results from the lamellar multi-texture structure is the ability to adjust the hardness of the blade within material constraints by varying the layer thickness ratios and choosing the materials of the layers. This goes hand in hand with it It is also possible to set other micro- and macro-mechanical properties significantly depending on the location, such as fracture toughness and flexural strength. These mechanical characteristics are anisotropic and, of course, also depend on the orientation of the lamellar system in the measuring arrangement.
  • the mechanical and physical properties of the multilayer material can be influenced not only by the choice of the materials of the metal or hard material layers, but also by the layer thicknesses, the layer thickness ratios, and by adjusting the course of the layer thicknesses over the cross section of the cutting edge.
  • the layer thicknesses should be relatively small, i. in the range of a few nanometers. However, this is not absolutely necessary, but depends on the particular application and the desired cutting geometry.
  • adjacent layers should preferably be connected to each other as best as possible in order to prevent the layers from flaking off one another.
  • a suitable choice of the adjacent materials is advantageous for the stability and the functionality of the multilayer material.
  • individual layers within the multi-layer material especially at the blade tip, preferably should not be too thick so as not to sacrifice the aforementioned advantages of nano- and microstructuring. Because if the layer thicknesses are too large, the macro-mechanical properties of the individual layers become more evident again, which again may prove to be a disadvantage if, for example, Cracks or plastic deformations can become stronger again. Also, thicker layers, due to internal stress, tend to peel off the rest, which should be advantageously avoided.
  • the present invention relates inter alia to a blade with a cutting edge, the blade having a multilayer material with at least five layers at least in the area of the cutting edge, wherein metal layers and hard material layers are arranged alternately in the multilayer material.
  • at least one metal layer and at least one adjacent hard material layer preferably have at least one metal element in common (with a metal-ceramic layer), or the metal layers adjoining an amorphous layer (eg DLC) form bonds to one of the main constituents of the amorphous layer (eg titanium to DLC, wherein titanium forms a native carbide at the boundary layer to the amorphous carbon).
