Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1 ein Legierungspulver zur Beschichtung eines insbesondere aus einer Aluminium-Legierung bestehenden Bauteiles, insbesondere des Ventilsitzbereiches eines Zylinderkopfes einer Brennkraftmaschine.According to the preamble of claim 1, the invention relates to an alloy powder for coating an aluminum alloy in particular existing component, in particular the valve seat area of a cylinder head an internal combustion engine.
Weiterhin bezieht sich die Erfindung auf ein Verfahren zur Beschichtung eines derartigen Bauteils mittels eines Hochenergiestrahles.Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for coating such Component by means of a high-energy beam.
Um den hochbelasteten Ventilsitzbereich eines insbesondere aus einer Aluminium-Legierung bestehenden Zylinderkopfes insbesondere hinsichtlich Festigkeit, Belastbarkeit und Abrieb- und Verschleißfestigkeit zu optimieren, ist es bekannt, entsprechend belastbare Ventilsitzringe einzusetzen. Beispielsweise beschreibt die DE 197 21 406 A1 einen Ventilsitz, welcher in einen Zylinderkopf aus Aluminium oder einer Aluminiumlegierung eingefügt und/oder mit diesen verbunden ist.Around the highly stressed valve seat area, in particular one made of an aluminum alloy existing cylinder head in particular with regard to strength, resilience and to optimize abrasion and wear resistance, it is known, accordingly use robust valve seat rings. For example, DE 197 describes 21 406 A1 a valve seat, which fits into an aluminum or aluminum cylinder head Aluminum alloy inserted and / or connected to it.
Es hat sich jedoch herausgestellt, dass die Verbindung zwischen Ventilsitz und Zylinderkopf insbesondere aufgrund großer Temperaturschwankungen über einen weiten Bereich und der damit einhergehenden Wärmeausdehnung sowie der hohen Belastung sehr kritisch ist, so dass man dazu übergegangen ist, anstelle von Ventilsitzringen eine direkte Beschichtung der Sitzfläche am Zylinderkopf vorzunehmen.However, it has been found that the connection between the valve seat and the cylinder head especially due to large temperature fluctuations over one wide range and the associated thermal expansion as well as the high Load is very critical, so you switched to instead of Valve seat rings a direct coating of the seat on the cylinder head make.

Besonders schwer wiegen diese Nachteile bei Hochleistungsmotoren sowie bei Fahrzeugen, denen die Schmierwirkung des flüssigen Treibstoffes fehlt - wie beispielsweise bei Gas-/Wasserstofffahrzeugen- da hier besondere, extreme Belastungen bezüglich Temperatur und Verschleiß vorherrschen.In particular, the heat transfer between the cylinder head and Valve seat very critical in terms of high temperature durability. in addition there is a very high tendency of the valve seat materials used to crack. These disadvantages are particularly serious in high-performance engines as well in vehicles that lack the lubricating effect of the liquid fuel - such as For example with gas / hydrogen vehicles - because here special, extreme loads prevail in terms of temperature and wear.

hohen Siliziumkonzentration von ca. 60 gew. % bilden sich die Siliziumpartikel
stangen-/lamellenartig mit einer Größe von bis zu mehreren 100 µm aus. Dies
bedingt ein sehr nachteiliges Werkstoffverhalten. Der auf diese Weise beschichtete

Ein Schliffbild eines mittels des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens unter Verwendung des erfindungsgemäßen Legierungspulvers erzeugten Gefüges zeigt Fig. 2. Das Legierungspulver enthält im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel neben dem Basiselement Aluminium einen sehr hohen Siliziumanteil von ca. 62 gew.-% sowie ca. 20 gew.-% Titan. Zur Herstellung des Legierungspulvers wird eine Metalllegierung mit der entsprechenden Zusammensetzung zu Pulver verarbeitet, ggf. kann es auch vorteilhaft sein, Legierungspulver verschiedener Zusammensetzung zu mischen, so dass ein Legierungspulver mit der gewünschten Zusammensetzung entsteht.A micrograph of a using the method according to the invention FIG. 2 shows the structure produced of the alloy powder according to the invention In the present exemplary embodiment, alloy powder contains in addition to the Base element aluminum has a very high silicon content of approx. 62% by weight as well approx. 20% by weight titanium. To produce the alloy powder, a Metal alloy with the appropriate composition processed into powder, if necessary, it can also be advantageous to mix different alloy powders Mix composition so that an alloy powder with the desired Composition arises.
Unter Einfluss des Legierungselementes Titan (Ti) bilden sich in der Grundmatrix 20
Al-Ti-Phasen. Besonders bevorzugt wird die Ausbildung hochschmelzender Al-Ti-Phasen,
wie beispielsweise Al3Ti, deren Schmelzpunkt bei ca. 1.340°C liegt. In
dieser sehr robusten Grundmatrix 20 sind Siliziumpartikel 22 eingelagert, wobei das
Legierungselement Titan weiterhin bei deren Abscheidung aus der Schmelze eine
Kornverfeinerung bewirkt. Das in Fig. 2 gezeigte Schliffbild zeigt diese Grundmatrix
20 mit eingelagerten Siliziumpartikeln 22, wobei die Siliziumpartikel 22 trotz des
hohen Siliziumanteils von ca. 60 Gew. % feinst dispersiert in einer Größe von nur
ca. 20 µm insbesondere von 1 bis 5 um vorliegen. Der Si-Anteil kann stark
angehoben werden, ohne dass die sich aus der Schmelze bildenden Si-Primärkristalle
zu groß und stangen-/lamellenartiger werden.Under the influence of the alloy element titanium (Ti), 20 Al-Ti phases form in the basic matrix. The formation of high-melting Al-Ti phases, such as Al 3 Ti, whose melting point is approximately 1,340 ° C., is particularly preferred. Silicon particles 22 are embedded in this very robust
Je nach Anteil Titan (Ti) und/oder Silizium (Si) lässt sich in breiten Grenzen die Macrohärte - beispielsweise bis über 550 HV bei AlSi50Ti30 - steuern, wobei dennoch eine verstärkte Neigung zur Rissbildung vermieden wird. Gegebenenfalls vorteilhaft wirkt sich Beigabe kleiner Mengen Nicken (Ni) im Bereich 1 bis 15 Gew. % und/oder Kupfer (Cu) im Bereich 1 bis 10 Gew. % aus.Depending on the proportion of titanium (Ti) and / or silicon (Si), the Control macro hardness - for example up to over 550 HV with AlSi50Ti30 - whereby nevertheless, an increased tendency to crack formation is avoided. Possibly The addition of small amounts of nod (Ni) in the range from 1 to 15% has an advantageous effect. % and / or copper (Cu) in the range 1 to 10% by weight.
Als sehr vorteilhaft hat es sich weiterhin herausgestellt, dem Legierungspulver einen Hochtemperaturschmierstoff wie beispielsweise Bornitrit (BN) beizugeben, wodurch der Einsatz in Hochleistungsmotoren und Gas-/Wasserstoffmotoren begünstigt wird. Dabei wird das Beschichtungspulver mit einem sehr feinen Bornitrit-Staub so aufbereitet, dass die Legierungspulverkörner vollständig von BN umhüllt werden. Zweckmäßig kann es gemäß eines weiteren Ausführungsbeispieles auch sein, einen zweiten Pulverturm bzw. eine zweite Pulverdüse zur gleichzeitigen Beförderung des Basislegierungspulvers und des BN vorzusehen und beide erst kurz vor/bei Aufbringung zu mischen.It has also proven to be very advantageous to unite the alloy powder Add high temperature lubricant such as boron nitride (BN), which use in high-performance engines and gas / hydrogen engines is favored. The coating powder with a very fine boron nitrite dust is like this processed so that the alloy powder grains are completely covered by BN. According to a further exemplary embodiment, it can also be expedient a second powder tower or a second powder nozzle for simultaneous conveyance of the base alloy powder and the BN and both only briefly mix before / during application.
Beim Erstarren der Schmelze nach dem Beschichten bilden sich in der Schicht kleine, als Schmiertaschen wirkende, aus Bornnitrit bestehende Inseln, welche bei betriebsbedingtem Verschleiß immer wieder freigelegt werden. Über die Lebensdauer der beschichteten Fläche wird so eine ständige Schmierwirkung erreicht. Ein Anteil von 5 bis 10 gew.-% ist in der Regel ausreichend, wobei ggf. bis zu 20 gew.-% BN beigemischt werden können. Auf gleiche Art und Weise können andere Hochtemperaturschmierstoffe - wie beispielsweise Graphit, B2O3 und/oder Co/Cr2O3 - dem Pulverwerkstoff zugegeben werden. When the melt solidifies after coating, small islands, which act as lubrication pockets and consist of boron nitride, form in the layer and are exposed again and again in the event of operational wear. A permanent lubrication effect is achieved over the life of the coated surface. A proportion of 5 to 10% by weight is generally sufficient, with up to 20% by weight BN possibly being added. In the same way, other high-temperature lubricants - such as graphite, B 2 O 3 and / or Co / Cr 2 O 3 - can be added to the powder material.
Eine weitere Verschleißbeständigkeit der Gefügematrix kann weiterhin durch Zugabe von Hartstoffpartikeln erreicht werden. Beispielsweise lässt sich SiC und/oder B4C als Verschleißschutzträger gewichtsanteilig bis zu 30 %, insbesondere 5 bis 20 %, einlagern. In Verbindung mit einem Kraftstoff wie Gas oder Wasserstoff bzw. bei Hochleistungsmotoren übernimmt B4C durch seine Oxidation zu B2O3 auch die Rolle eines Festschmierstoffes.Further wear resistance of the microstructure matrix can also be achieved by adding hard material particles. For example, SiC and / or B 4 C can be stored up to 30%, in particular 5 to 20%, by weight as a wear protection carrier. In conjunction with a fuel such as gas or hydrogen or in high-performance engines, B 4 C also takes on the role of a solid lubricant due to its oxidation to B 2 O 3 .
Die Beschichtung erfolgt - wie in Fig. 3 dargestellt - mittels einer Beschichtungslanze
32, welche eine Zuführung 37 für das Legierungspulver sowie einen Lichtleiter
33 zur Einkopplung eines Laserstrahles umfasst. Als Laser wird ein Diodenlaser
oder ein Festkörperlaser wie Nd:YAG-Laser mit einer Leistung von ca. 3kW
verwendet. Das Legierungspulver wird durch die Zuführung 37 einer Düse 38
zugeführt, aus der ein Pulverstrahl 36 austritt; der aus dem Lichtleiter 33
austretende Laserstrahl wird mittels einer mehrere optische Elemente -
schematisch und beispielhaft mit 34a, 34b angedeutet - fokussiert. Die
Beschichtungslanze 32 ist relativ zum Bauteil 30 drehbar und/oder verschieblich, so
dass eine gezielte bereichsweise Beschichtung des Bauteiles 30 möglich ist; ggf. ist
der Fokus des Laserstrahls 35 und/oder die Düse 38 verstellbar,.The coating takes place - as shown in Fig. 3 - by means of a
Das aus der Düse 38 austretende Legierungspulver wird in Richtung des zu
beschichtenden Bauteiles versprüht, wobei es zumindest teilweise durch die Hitze
des Laserstrahles aufgeschmolzen wird. Der Pulverstrahl 36 wird dabei in die Nähe
des Laserstrahles 35 oder durch diesen hindurch geführt. Der Pulverstrahl tritt derart
aus der Düse 38 aus, dass beim Auftreffen auf die zu beschichtende
Bauteiloberfläche 31a des Bauteiles 30 der erforderliche Bereich mit der
gewünschten Menge Legierungspulver beaufschlagt wird. Der Fokus 35a des
Laserstrahles 35 wird dabei so eingestellt, dass er genau auf der Bauteiloberfläche
liegt; falls die Erhitzung hier zu stark ist, kann es auch vorteilhaft sein, die
Beschichtungslanze 32 derart zu führen, dass die Bauteiloberfläche oberhalb oder
unterhalb des Fokus 35a zu liegen kommt. Die Energiedichte im Brennfleck des
Laserstahles beträgt dabei ca. 104 W/cm2.The alloy powder emerging from the
Es erfolgt ein kombiniertes Auf-/Einbringen des Legierungspulvers im zu beschichtenden Bereich - dem Ventilsitzbereich. Vorliegend erfolgt ein Einlegieren im 1/10 mm-Bereich verbunden mit einem Aufbringen einer einige Millimeter, ca. 2-3 mm, dicken Schicht; die mit Figur 2 gezeigte und beschriebene Verschleißschutzschicht ist auf diese Weise fest im Grundmaterial verankert.There is a combined application / introduction of the alloy powder in the coating area - the valve seat area. In the present case, alloying takes place in the 1/10 mm area combined with an application of a few millimeters, approx. 2-3 mm, thick layer; that shown and described with Figure 2 In this way, the wear protection layer is firmly anchored in the base material.
Während des Beschichtungsvorganges wird das Bauteil - der Zylinderkopf - zweckmäßigerweise gekühlt. Dabei wird ein Kompromiss zwischen einer schnellen Wärmeabfuhr zur Verhinderung eines zu weiten Aufschmelzens des Grundwerkstoffes, zwischen einem idealen Gradientenverlauf zur Ausbildung des gewünschten Gefüges und zwischen einem langsamen Abkühlen und geringen Temperaturdifferenzen zur Vermeidung von Rissen gefunden.During the coating process, the component - the cylinder head - expediently cooled. This is a compromise between a quick Heat dissipation to prevent the melting of the Base material, between an ideal gradient to form the desired structure and between a slow cooling and slight Temperature differences to avoid cracks found.
Um die Bildung unerwünschter Oxide zu vermeiden, erfolgt der gesamte
Beschichtungsvorgang unter Schutzgasatmosphäre wie beispielsweise unter Argon
oder Stickstoff. Der Pulverwerkstoff wird mit Schutzgas verdüst, wobei das
Schutzgas in der Zuführung 37 mitgeführt oder in einer separaten Leitung zum
Bereich der Düse 38 geleitet wird.To avoid the formation of unwanted oxides, the whole is done
Coating process under a protective gas atmosphere such as argon
or nitrogen. The powder material is sprayed with protective gas, whereby the
Shielding gas carried in the
Alternativ zur beschriebenen Aufbringung des Legierungspulvers kann das Legierungspulver auch beispielsweise in Form einer Paste auf den zu beschichtenden Bereich aufgebracht werden. Die Beschichtungslanze umfasst dann lediglich die Lasereinrichtung und gegebenenfalls eine Schutzgaszuführungseinrichtung, wodurch sie baulich stark vereinfacht ist.As an alternative to applying the alloy powder as described, this can be done Alloy powder also in the form of a paste for example coating area are applied. The coating lance then includes only the laser device and possibly a protective gas supply device, which makes it structurally much simpler.
Der zu Beschichtung vorgesehene Zylinderkopfrohling wird insgesamt mit einem
gewissen Aufmaß gefertigt, so dass nachfolgend eventuell bei der Beschichtung
auftretender Wärmeverzug in der Endbearbeitung ausgeglichen werden kann. Die
Vorbearbeitung der zu beschichtenden Ventilsitzbereiche erfolgt mit einem
gewissen Untermaß, da dort eine Schicht aufgebracht wird. Während der
Beschichtung des Ventilsitzbereiches 31a, 31b, 31c, 31d verfährt die
Beschichtungslanze 32 mit einer Lineargeschwindigkeit von bis zu 3 m/min und wird
dabei entsprechend gedreht. Es werden mehrere aneinanderliegende Raupen - je
nach breite ein bis zwei - mit einem Überlappungsgrad von ca. 30-50%
aufgetragen. Abschließend wird der beschichtete Bereich spanend endbearbeitet.The cylinder head blank provided for coating is combined with a
a certain allowance, so that subsequently possibly in the coating
occurring heat distortion in the finishing can be compensated. The
The valve seat areas to be coated are pre-processed with a
certain undersize, since a layer is applied there. During the
