Definitions
- the present invention relates to aluminum parts and its alloys, at least one face of which has at least one region of wear-resistant zones.
- the published French patent application 2 371 520 describes a method for treating a given exposed region of an article of aluminum or one of its alloys in the presence or not of an agent for alloy, with a laser beam or an electron beam of high energy (at least 10,000 watts / cm2) and of diameter between 250 and 12500 lim, so as to be able to heat the article in a first zone and to melt it in a second zone inside said first zone: a fine-grained structure is thus created at least in said zone, with the aim, inter alia, of improving wear resistance and eliminating or reducing deformations resulting from treatment.
- Claim 24 of this patent states that "said beam is moved along several separate and spaced paths so as to affect areas forming spaced regions on the exposed surface of said article".
- the treatment is applied to a casing of cast iron hardened by cementation and consists in directing on the latter a laser emitting a beam such that it forms a point with a diameter of 3000 li m.
- Japanese patent application published under No. 59,212,572 also teaches a method of curing the inner surface of an internal combustion engine cylinder by means of a laser in which the area ratio of the untreated areas to the areas treated is preferably between 10 and 70% and the dimension of the treated areas is several mm.
- zones suitable for friction can be obtained on parts by thermally treating their surface so as to locally obtain zones with a width exceeding 250 m.
- the applicant has sought to develop aluminum parts and its alloys of which at least one face is treated by thermal melting effect so as to develop at least one region of zones resistant to wear and able to friction but such that they conceal very few surface stresses liable to develop cracks or other degradation during their use and also such that they can be used rough treatment, that is to say without rework, expensive operation and delicate on hardened parts and which, by its thermal and mechanical effects, can modify the structure of the treated area and, consequently, its tribological characteristics.
- the aluminum parts and its alloys at least one face of which has at least one wear-resistant region on the surface consisting of a controlled distribution of zones hardened by localized melting effect are characterized in that said zones, whatever their length and shape, have a width and a depth of between 3 and 150 ⁇ m and that the surface fraction of the zones for each mm 2 of a region is between 5 and 60%.
- the differences in dimensions between the zones and the inter-zone spaces do not exceed 10 ⁇ m, which therefore avoids any re-machining of the parts before use.
- the treatment changes little the geometric profile of the treated part and only involves a slight change in the roughness.
- the presence of spaces between the zones appreciably improves the ability of the parts to friction by creating on the surface and on a fine scale an alternation of hardened zones and soft spaces, a very effective arrangement generally in resistance to wear. by adhesion, fatigue or abrasion and also effective in friction since the soft inter-zone spaces constitute traps for lubricant, or even traps for wear debris.
- the invention in fact involves in principle the statistical idea of reducing the width and depth of the zones and of separating them, the distribution on the scale of mm 2 and the shape of the zones having a second order effect with respect to with the width-depth effect and surface fraction.
- the invention also includes the zones regularly arranged on the surface of the parts in the form of periodic or quasi-periodic arrays of bands, the width and the depth of which are obviously between 3 and 150 ⁇ .Lm.
- the zones can be arranged in the form of continuous bands separated from each other by a distance of between 20 and 1000 wm, these bands having either any direction, or appearing at least one network of parallel bands.
- these zones can also be arranged in the form of discontinuous strips separated along their length and from one another by a distance of between 20 and 1000 ⁇ m; these bands having as previously either any direction, or appearing at least one network of parallel bands.
- the invention applies in particular to any aluminum alloy, the tribological properties of which can be improved by a surface melting treatment. It also applies to all parts where the zones consist of a molten aluminum alloy with a filler element or a filler compound such that said alloy has better tribological properties than the base alloy.
- This element can be for example iron or nickel.
- zones corresponding to the characteristics of the invention can be obtained by any process making it possible to locally modify by fusion-resolidification the nature or the structure of the surface of the part over a shallow depth and over a narrow width so as to give it by effect thermal and / or chemical better ability to friction.
- Obtaining axial, circular or helical bands or any other shape can be easily achieved by controlling the relative movement of the part and the beam by means of a microprocessor.
- FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 show, with regard to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, different arrangements of zones produced according to the invention on a region of an active face of a part while FIG. 4 relates to a micrograph of a region portion of a part according to the invention and FIGS. 5, 6 and 7 to micrographic sections of parts according to the prior art (FIGS. 5 and 7) and according to the invention (fig. 6).
- Parts in A-S5U3 that is to say containing by weight 5% of silicon, 3% of copper and the balance in aluminum and impurities
- A-S17U4G (17% Si, 4% Cu, ⁇ 1 % Mg) produced in the same way were divided into two batches numbered 1 and 2, both comprising the two types of alloy.
- Lot 1 was subjected to a laser treatment to obtain areas according to the prior art and lot 2 to another laser treatment to obtain areas according to the invention.
- the parts according to the invention and which therefore have zones of small width and shallow depth have a rate of deformation of the surface profile such that it is no longer necessary to machine them.
- the surface of the parts of lot 1 was treated according to overlapping unidirectional parallel bands (lot 1 A) or not (lot 1 B): distance between band 2000 lim) while that of lot 2 was treated according to a network of parallel bands crossing at right angles and spaced from each other by 200 jim.
- the iron was replaced by a galvanic nickel deposit so as to produce a 10% nickel alloy on the surface after fusion and the parts of the 2 batches were subjected to friction-wear measurements. using the CAMERON-PLINT tribometer.
- This tribometer consists of a segment in chromed cast iron which presses on the surface to be checked and which is driven in an alternating movement so as to approximate approximately the friction which occurs between the segments inserted in the piston and the jacket of an engine. internal combustion.
- the support load was 100 N, the room temperature 100 ° C, the frequency of movement 12 Hz and the test time 30 min.
- the surface was previously lubricated with an oil of the Neutral 150 type.
- the present invention finds its application in the manufacture of aluminum parts and its alloys intended to be subjected to friction such as for example mechanical parts (engine liners and pistons, valve seats, brake drums and discs, toothed pulleys of transmission, dies, gears, bearings, spans of drive shafts, ball bearings, etc.) and electrical contact parts where friction and passage of electrical current are combined (connectors, sliding contact, electric motor collector , etc ).
