Embodiment
Alloying constituent in weight percentage scope described in the last table all is applicable to casting golf club element in air.Alloy material can realize being at least about 220ksi room temperature ultimate tensile strength economically, also keeps being applicable to the enough ductility of golf club and solidity to corrosion preferably simultaneously.But the wrought of bulk alloy composition comprises forging, band and tubing, also can be used for golf club, and is simultaneously compatible with the element of casting in air.Product among the present invention also can be used for and the incoherent small parts of golf industry, for example gun assembly.
An importance of the present invention is that the bulk alloy composition is to the responding ability of age hardening under the situation of no high reaction activity element such as titanium or aluminium.Precipitation takes place by Ni-Al or Ni-Ti compound and has higher intensity in the stainless material age-hardenable that contains titanium and/or aluminium in the low carbon martensite matrix.On the contrary, should be known as " R " phase, Precipitation Reaction takes place and carry out age hardening with described alloy material by the rich Cr phase of Co/Mo/ intermetallic compound.Because do not have the high reaction activity element in the alloy material, the used alloy material of the present invention forms oxide compound and/or nitride in alloy substrate ability weakens.In addition, when molten metal was exposed in the air, the used alloy material of the present invention reduced the susceptibility that other component concentration changes as decarburizing reaction in remelting and castingprocesses.
The alloy material that is used for cast product as described herein contains at least about 9%, at least about 9.5% preferable, preferably at least about 10.0% chromium, with in oxidisability, comprising obtaining enough solidity to corrosions under the atmospheric exposure condition.Although the increase of chromium content helps to improve the solidity to corrosion of alloy material, the chromium too high levels is unfavorable for the toughness and the phase stability of alloy material.Elemental chromium be owing to can promote ferritic formation and keep excessive austenite, thereby is unfavorable for the phase stability of alloy material.Therefore, it is about 1 3% that chromium content should not surpass, and is no more than about 12% preferablely, preferably is no more than about 11.5%.
Element cobalt serves many purposes in alloy material of the present invention.For example, element cobalt promotes austenitic formation, and then helps the toughness of alloy material.Simultaneously element cobalt has also participated in the age-hardening process that Precipitation Reaction takes place mutually " R ".For reaching better effects, cobalt element content is at least about 8%, preferably at least about 9.5%.The cobalt element too high levels can make the austenite in the alloy material very stable, so that martensite can not produce complete deformation in quenching process, hinders more high strength and hardness that the alloy material acquisition can reach thus.Increase cobalt element content and also increased the alloy manufacturing cost simultaneously, and can not bring further economic benefit.For these reasons, cobalt element content should not surpass approximately 16% in the alloy, preferably is no more than about 13.5%.
The same with cobalt element, the existence of nickel element is same to promote austenitic formation, and then helps the toughness of alloy material.Therefore, cast article alloy material of the present invention is to obtain better toughness and ductility, nickel element content at least about 4%, at least about 5% preferable, preferably at least about 5.5%.Yet the existence of nickel element also has a strong impact on the austeno-martensite transformation that takes place in quenching process.Therefore, nickel element content should not surpass approximately 8% in the alloy, preferably is no more than about 7.5%.
Because the existence of molybdenum not only helps the formation that " R " strengthens precipitate mutually, and helps toughness, ductility and the solidity to corrosion of alloy material, therefore in alloy material of the present invention, contain at least about 4%, preferably at least about 5% molybdenum element.On the other hand, keep too much austenite because the molybdenum too high levels can make in the alloy material, promote to generate disadvantageous ferrite, therefore, molybdenum content should not surpass approximately 8% in the alloy, preferably is no more than about 6%.All or part of molybdenum element can be substituted by the W elements of a great deal of.Known to the professional and technical personnel, substitute the specified rate molybdenum element and suitable effect is provided with W elements according to following ratio: promptly per 1% molybdenum element is equivalent to about 2% W elements.
Because having of element silicon is beneficial to the flowability of alloy material in castingprocesses, therefore in the used alloy material of the present invention, can contain minor amount of silicon, as: about 0.01%-0.02%.Simultaneously also favourable as the element silicon of deoxidation agent.Because element silicon is ferrite former, its concentration should not surpass approximately 1% in alloy material, preferably is no more than about 0.5%.
Be used for the alloy material of cast product as described herein and can contain niobium element selectively up to about 1%.Because the reactive behavior of niobium element and oxygen and nitrogen far is weaker than titanium or aluminium, so the existence of niobium element can not damage the aerial castability of alloy material.In addition, because niobium can form rich nickel-niobium intermetallic compound mutually with nickel, play the effect of the martensitic matrix in the reinforced alloys, so the niobium element helps improving the intensity of alloy material.Because niobium element content surpasses about 1% and will be unfavorable for the toughness and the ductility of alloy in the alloy material, so the amount of the niobium element that uses in the alloy is subject to aforementioned quantities.The available element tantalum is with 2 to 1 all or part of substitute niobium element of ratio based on weight percentage.
Because boron helps the hot workability and the toughness of alloy material, the alloy material that is used for casting object as described herein also can be on a small quantity but is contained boron up to about 0.02% effectively.Boron also can be used as the deoxidation agent.Although the hot workability common principal element of considering that is not cast product can hot work operation remelting and casting goods used according to the invention in the section bar process of producing product.
But all the other compositions of alloy material are mainly iron and the precipitation-hardening stainless material commercial grade in close purposes or service, used in common impurity.In this respect, contain carbon, nitrogen, manganese, p and s inevitably in the used alloy of the present invention.Yet these elements no matter are separately or combination exists, if too high levels all is unfavorable for the intensity and the toughness of alloy material, therefore will control the amount of these elements.In sosoloid, carbon and nitrogen are austenitic strong stability agent.Their excessive concentration are unfavorable for the phase stability of alloy material.Simultaneously, carbon and ammonia are easy to combine with chromium and form unwanted carbide, nitride and carbonitride.Therefore, it is about 0.1% that carbon and nitrogen content are limited not to surpass separately, is no more than about 0.025% preferablely, preferably is no more than about 0.015%.
It is about 1% that manganese content is limited not to surpass, and preferably is no more than about 0.5%.It is about 0.050% that phosphorus content is limited not to surpass, and is no more than about 0.040% preferablely, preferably is no more than about 0.030%.Because the mechanical property and the solidity to corrosion of alloy material had disadvantageous effect, it is about 0.05% that sulphur content is limited should not surpass, and is no more than about 0.030% preferablely, preferably is no more than about 0.01%.But non-quantitative ground or add the residue form obtain with alloy and have other elements such as copper, vanadium, zirconium, calcium, titanium, aluminium and rare earth metal in molded article.
Directly prepare alloy material and its cast is entered in the mold to be shaped as the element of golf club head.Use existing method with its fusion in air or inert gas atmosphere.Although molten alloy under vacuum condition as by vacuum induction fusion (VIM), can obtain better effect, the VIM cost that is increased does not guarantee the raising of golf club set quality.Can use a kind of simple relatively heat treating castings technology to make alloy material obtain some characteristics.Preferred implementation is: foundry goods was heated about 1-4 hour under about 2000-2300 condition, make the alloy material homogenizing.In air, foundry goods is cooled off from homogenization temperature then.After homogenizing thermal treatment, foundry goods is carried out the solution annealing of grace time to guarantee alloy material complete austenitizing basically at about 1400 °F in about 2000 scopes.For molded shapes as described herein, soaking time is at least about 30 minutes.Foundry goods is cooled to room temperature from the solution annealing temperature fast, preferably in water, oil or polymers soln, quenches, to guarantee producing best effect for the age hardening thermal treatment of carrying out subsequently.Also can implement the forced gas cooling.
After solution treatment, foundry goods is heated to about 900-1100 temperature ranges, made its age hardening, and in air, cooled off then in preferred about 950-1025 about 1-4 of temperature range hours.
