Description

Gesinterter weichmagnetischer Verbundwerkstoff und Verfahren zu dessen HerstellungSintered soft magnetic composite and method for its production
Die Erfindung betrifft einen gesinterten weichmagnetischen Verbundwerkstoff, insbesondere zur Verwendung in Magnetventilen, und ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines derartigen Verbundwerkstoffes nach der Gattung der unabhängigen Ansprüche .The invention relates to a sintered soft magnetic composite material, in particular for use in solenoid valves, and a method for producing such a composite material according to the type of the independent claims.
Stand der TechnikState of the art
Moderne Benzin- und Dieselmotoren benotigen immer leistungsfähigere Magneteinspritzventile um beispielsweise den Forderungen nach Verbrauchsreduzierung und Schadstoffreduzierung nachzukommen. Bekannte schnellschaltende Magneteinspritzventile werden dazu aus weichmagnetischen Werkstoffen wie bei- spielsweise FeCr- oder FeCo-Legierungen oder aus Pulververbundwerkstoffen mit möglichst hohem spezifischen elektrischen Widerstand hergestellt.Modern gasoline and diesel engines require ever more powerful magnetic injectors, for example to meet the demands for reduced consumption and reduced pollutants. Known fast-switching magnetic injection valves are made from soft magnetic materials such as FeCr or FeCo alloys or from powder composite materials with the highest possible specific electrical resistance.
Durch legierungstechnische Maßnahmen ist bei den metalli- sehen Werkstoffen jedoch nur ein spezifischer elektrischer Widerstand von maximal 1 μΩm erreichbar.With alloying measures, however, only a specific electrical resistance of maximum 1 μΩm can be achieved with the metallic materials.
Weiterhin ist auch bereits bekannt, einen Magnetwerkstoff aus Eisenpulver und organischem Binder in Ventilen für die Dieseleinspritzung (Common Rail System) einzusetzen. Diese Werkstoffe weisen zwar höhere spezifische elektrische Widerstände als die vorgenannten weichmagnetische Legierungswerkstoffe auf, sie sind jedoch vielfach nur eingeschränkt treibstoff- und temperaturbeständig und zudem schlecht bear- beitbar.Furthermore, it is also already known to use a magnetic material made of iron powder and organic binder in valves for diesel injection (common rail system). This Although materials have higher specific electrical resistances than the aforementioned soft magnetic alloy materials, they are often only to a limited extent resistant to fuel and temperature and, moreover, are difficult to machine.
Vorteile der ErfindungAdvantages of the invention
Der erfindungsgemaße gesinterte weichmagnetische Verbund- werkstoff und das Verfahren zu dessen Herstellung hat gegenüber dem Stand der Technik den Vorteil, daß damit spezifische elektrische Widerstände von mehr 2 μΩm erreicht werden können. Weiterhin ist der erfindungsgemaße Verbundwerkstoff sehr gut temperatur- und gleichzeitig auch kraftstoffbestan- dig. Daneben ist er zumindest in beschranktem Umfang mechanisch bearbeitbar.The sintered soft magnetic composite material according to the invention and the method for its production have the advantage over the prior art that specific electrical resistances of more than 2 μΩm can be achieved. Furthermore, the composite material according to the invention is very temperature-resistant and at the same time also fuel-resistant. In addition, it can be machined at least to a limited extent.
Der erfindungsgemaße Verbundwerkstoff erreicht weiter eine Sattigungspolarisation von ca. 1,6 Tesla, die mit bekannten Werkstoffen aus Eisenpulver und organischem Binder vergleichbar ist.The composite material according to the invention further achieves a saturation polarization of approximately 1.6 Tesla, which is comparable to known materials made of iron powder and organic binder.
Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den in den Unteranspruchen genannten Maßnahmen.Advantageous developments of the invention result from the measures mentioned in the subclaims.
So ist es vorteilhaft, daß als ferromagnetische pulverformige Ausgangskomponente eine Vielzahl bekannter, kommerziell erhaltlicher Pulver, insbesondere Reineisenpulver, phospha- tierte Eisenpulver, Eisen-Chrom-Legierungspulver oder Eisen- Cobalt-Legierungspulver eingesetzt werden können.It is advantageous that a large number of known, commercially available powders, in particular pure iron powder, phosphated iron powder, iron-chromium alloy powder or iron-cobalt alloy powder, can be used as the ferromagnetic powder-form starting component.
Ebenso kommen auch für die zweite, ferrimagnetische Ausgangskomponente eine Vielzahl von bekannten weich- oder hartmagnetischen Ferritpulvern in Frage. Besonders vorteil- haft ist die Verwendung von oxidischen Pulvern wie Fe203, von bekannten Strontium- oder Barium-Hartferriten oder bekannten Weichferriten wie MnZn oder NiZn.A large number of known soft or hard magnetic ferrite powders are also suitable for the second, ferrimagnetic starting component. The use of oxidic powders such as Fe 2 0 3 is particularly advantageous. of known strontium or barium hard ferrites or known soft ferrites such as MnZn or NiZn.
Um zu gewahrleisten, daß das als zweite Ausgangskomponente bevorzugt eingesetzte Ferrit-Pulver nach dem Sintern in dem Verbundwerkstoff zumindest weitgehend als Korngrenzenphase vorliegt, bzw. daß diese Korngrenzenphase nach dem Sintern die erste Ausgangskomponente zumindest bereichsweise umgibt, ist es weiter vorteilhaft, wenn die mittlere Korngroße der Pulverteilchen der ferromagnetischen Ausgangskomponente deutlich großer ist, als die mittlere Korngroße der Pulverteilchen des Ferrit-Pulvers.In order to ensure that the ferrite powder which is preferably used as the second starting component after sintering is present in the composite material at least largely as a grain boundary phase, or that this grain boundary phase surrounds the first starting component at least in regions after sintering, it is further advantageous if the average grain size the powder particles of the ferromagnetic starting component is significantly larger than the average grain size of the powder particles of the ferrite powder.
Weiter ist es zur Erhöhung des Widerstandes vorteilhaft, daß dem gesinterten weichmagnetischen Verbundwerkstoff weitere Zusatzstoffe, beispielsweise Silizium, Siliziumdioxid (Si02) , Aluminium oder Aluminiumoxid (A1203) zugesetzt werden können, um damit, innerhalb gewisser Grenzen, eine Anpassung der physikalischen Eigenschaften des hergestellten Verbund- Werkstoffes zu ermöglichen.It is also advantageous to increase the resistance that further additives, for example silicon, silicon dioxide (Si0 2 ), aluminum or aluminum oxide (A1 2 0 3 ), can be added to the sintered soft magnetic composite material in order to adapt the physical properties within certain limits To enable properties of the composite material produced.
So kann Silizium oder Siliziumdioxid vorteilhaft zur Erhöhung des spezifischen elektrischen Widerstandes und der Permeabilität des Verbundwerkstoffes eingesetzt werden. Alumi- nium oder Aluminiumoxid eignet sich beispielsweise zur Erhöhung des spezifischen elektrischen Widerstandes.For example, silicon or silicon dioxide can advantageously be used to increase the specific electrical resistance and the permeability of the composite material. Aluminum or aluminum oxide is suitable, for example, for increasing the specific electrical resistance.
Das der Ausgangsmischung weiter bevorzugt zugesetzte Preßhilfsmittel erleichtert die Verdichtung und Formgebung der Ausgangsmischung in einer Matrize. Dabei ist vorteilhaft, daß dieses Preßhilfsmittel beim Entbindern wieder vollständig entfernt bzw. verdampft wird, so daß es keinen direkten Einfluß auf die erreichbaren Materialkennwerte des erhaltenen gesinterten weichmagnetischen Verbundwerkstoffes hat. ZeichnungThe pressing aid, which is more preferably added to the starting mixture, facilitates the compression and shaping of the starting mixture in a die. It is advantageous that this pressing aid is completely removed or evaporated again during debinding, so that it has no direct influence on the achievable material characteristics of the sintered soft magnetic composite material obtained. drawing
Die Erfindung wird anhand der Zeichnung und in der nachfolgenden Beschreibung naher erläutert. Die Figur zeigt eine Prinzipskizze einer Ausgangsmischung.The invention is explained in more detail with reference to the drawing and in the description below. The figure shows a basic sketch of an initial mixture.
AusfuhrungsbeispieleExemplary embodiments
Zur Herstellung eines gesinterten weichmagnetischen Verbund- Werkstoffes durch Kombination einer pulverformigen, ferroma- gnetischen ersten Ausgangskomponente 11 mit einem Ferrit- Pulver als ferritischer zweiter Ausgangskomponente 12, wobei das Ferrit-Pulver nach dem Sintern zumindest weitgehend als Korngrenzenphase in dem Verbundwerkstoff vorliegt, wird zu- nächst als erste Ausgangskomponente 11 reines oder mit 0,1 bis 1 Gew.% Phosphor vorlegiertes Eisenpulver (phosphatier- tes Eisenpulver) als Hauptbestandteil vorgegeben. Dieses Pulver weist eine Korngrößenverteilung von 60 μm bis 200 μm auf. Weiterhin wird dieser ferromagnetischen Ausgangskompo- nente 11 als zweite Ausgangskomponente 12 dann ein Ferrit- Pulver in Form eines Pulvers mit sehr feiner Körnung zugegeben. Als Ferrit-Pulver eignet sich beispielsweise ein pulverformiger Weichferrit wie MnZn- oder NiZn-Ferrit, ein pulverformiger Hartferrit wie Strontium-Ferrit (6Fe203:SrO) oder Barium-Ferrit ( 6Fe203 : BaO) , oder EisenoxidpulverTo produce a sintered soft magnetic composite material by combining a powdery, ferromagnetic first starting component 11 with a ferrite powder as the ferritic second starting component 12, the ferrite powder being present at least largely as a grain boundary phase in the composite material after sintering. Next, as the first starting component 11, pure iron powder or a powder alloyed with 0.1 to 1% by weight phosphorus (phosphated iron powder) is specified as the main constituent. This powder has a grain size distribution of 60 μm to 200 μm. Furthermore, a ferrite powder in the form of a powder with a very fine grain size is then added to this ferromagnetic starting component 11 as the second starting component 12. A suitable ferrite powder is, for example, a powdery soft ferrite such as MnZn or NiZn ferrite, a powdery hard ferrite such as strontium ferrite (6Fe 2 0 3 : SrO) or barium ferrite (6Fe 2 0 3 : BaO), or iron oxide powder
(Fe203) . Bevorzugt betragt die mittlere Teilchengroße der Pulverteilchen der zweiten Ausgangskomponente 12 weniger als 20 μm.(Fe 2 0 3 ). The average particle size of the powder particles of the second starting component 12 is preferably less than 20 μm.
Die jeweiligen Gewichtsverhaltnisse zwischen der ferromagne- tischen ersten Ausgangskomponente 11 und der zugegebenen zweiten Ausgangskomponente 12 ergeben sich im Einzelfall anhand der geforderten magnetischen Eigenschaften des zu erzeugenden Verbundwerkstoffes und des gewünschten spezifi- sehen elektrischen Widerstandes. In der Regel liegt der Anteil der ferromagnetischen Ausgangskomponente 11 als Hauptbestandteil zwischen 88 und 98 Gew.% und der Anteil der zweiten Ausgangskomponente 12 zwischen 2 und 12 Gew.%.The respective weight ratios between the ferromagnetic first output component 11 and the added second output component 12 result in the individual case from the required magnetic properties of the composite material to be produced and the desired specific electrical resistance. As a rule, the proportion of the ferromagnetic starting component 11 as the main constituent is between 88 and 98% by weight and the proportion of the second starting component 12 is between 2 and 12% by weight.
Der Ausgangsmischung aus diesen beiden Pulvern können daneben noch weitere Zusatzstoffe zur Erreichung bzw. Feineinstellung der magnetischen bzw. elektrischen Eigenschaften des zu erzeugenden Verbundwerkstoffes zugegeben werden. Konkret eignen sich dazu besonders Silizium und/oder Aluminium sowie deren Oxide, die beide als Pulver mit einer bevorzugten Korngroße von weniger als 50 μm zugegeben werden.In addition to the starting mixture of these two powders, further additives can be added to achieve or fine-tune the magnetic or electrical properties of the composite material to be produced. Specifically, silicon and / or aluminum and their oxides are particularly suitable, both of which are added as powders with a preferred grain size of less than 50 μm.
Weiter wird der Ausgangsmischung als Preßhilfsmittel zweckmäßig Mikrowachs zugesetzt.Micro wax is also expediently added to the starting mixture as a pressing aid.
In diesem Zusammenhang sei betont, daß der erreichbare spezifische elektrische Widerstand des schließlich erhaltenen gesinterten Verbundwerkstoffes vor allem durch die Menge des zugegebenen Ferritpulvers bestimmt wird.In this connection it should be emphasized that the achievable specific electrical resistance of the sintered composite material finally obtained is determined primarily by the amount of the ferrite powder added.
Insgesamt kann die Zusammensetzung der Ausgangsmischung innerhalb folgender Grenzen variiert werden:Overall, the composition of the starting mixture can be varied within the following limits:
75 bis 99 Gew.% reines Eisenpulver oder phosphatiertes Eisenpulver als erste Ausgangskomponente 1175 to 99% by weight of pure iron powder or phosphated iron powder as the first starting component 11
1 bis 25 Gew.% Ferritpulver als zweite Ausgangskomponente 121 to 25% by weight of ferrite powder as the second starting component 12
0 bis 2,5 Gew.% Aluminiumpulver und/oder Siliziumpulver0 to 2.5% by weight of aluminum powder and / or silicon powder
0 bis 0,8 Gew.% Mikrowachs. Die genannten Werkstoffe der Ausgangsmischung werden dann zunächst miteinander vermischt, wobei die Mischdauer je nach Zusammensetzung zwischen 30 min und 240 min betragt.0 to 0.8 wt% micro wax. The materials mentioned in the starting mixture are then first mixed with one another, the mixing time depending on the composition being between 30 minutes and 240 minutes.
Anschließend wird die Ausgangsmischung dann durch uniaxiales Pressen in einer Matrize geformt und verdichtet, so daß ein Grunkorper entsteht. Der Druck beim uniaxialen Pressen betragt bevorzugt 500 MPa bis 750 MPa.The starting mixture is then shaped and compressed by uniaxial pressing in a die, so that a green body is formed. The pressure during uniaxial pressing is preferably 500 MPa to 750 MPa.
Nach dem Verdichten der Ausgangsmischung durch das uniaxiale Pressen werden die erhaltenen Grunkorper vor der Sinterung zunächst in Stickstoffatmosphare bei einer Temperatur zwischen 450°C und 500°C über einen Zeitraum von 30 min bis 45 min entbindert. Dabei wird das als Preßhilfsmittel zuge- setzte Mikrowachs wieder entfernt, indem es im wesentlichen verdampft .After the starting mixture has been compacted by uniaxial pressing, the green bodies obtained are first debindered in a nitrogen atmosphere at a temperature between 450 ° C. and 500 ° C. over a period of 30 minutes to 45 minutes before sintering. The micro wax added as a pressing aid is removed again by essentially evaporating it.
An dieses Entbindern schließt sich ein zweistufiger Sinterprozeß an.This debinding is followed by a two-stage sintering process.
Dazu wird in der ersten Stufe des Sinterprozesses zunächst bei einer Temperatur zwischen 500°C und 700°C über einen Zeitraum von 30 min bis 12 h in einer Gasatmosphare der Zusammensetzung 50 Vol.% bis 100 Vol.% Stickstoff und 0 Vol.% bis 50 Vol . % Sauerstoff gesintert. Bevorzugt enthalt die Gasatmosphare 5 Vol . % bis 30 Vol.% Sauerstoff.For this purpose, in the first stage of the sintering process, at a temperature between 500 ° C. and 700 ° C. for a period of 30 minutes to 12 hours in a gas atmosphere with the composition 50% by volume to 100% by volume nitrogen and 0% by volume to 50 vol. % Oxygen sintered. The gas atmosphere preferably contains 5 vol. % to 30 vol.% oxygen.
Nach dieser ersten Stufe des Sinterprozesses folgt dann eine zweite Stufe bei Temperaturen zwischen 900° C und 1150° C. Diese zweite Sinterstufe erstreckt sich über einen Zeitraum von 5 Minuten bis 2 h, wobei die Aufheizrate zwischen 10 bis 40 K/min und die Abkuhlrate zwischen 5 bis 40 K/min gewählt wird. Gleichzeitig wird wahrend dieser zweiten Stufe des Sinterprozesses die Sinterung in einer Gasatmosphare durch- gefuhrt, die sich anfangs aus 50 Vol . % bis 100 Vol.% Stick- Stoff und 0 Vol . % bis 50 Vol.% Sauerstoff zusammensetzt. Bevorzugt enthalt die Gasatmosphare zu Beginn der zweiten Stufe des Sinterprozesses 5 Vol . % bis 30 Vol . % Sauerstoff. Im Laufe der zweiten Stufe des Sinterprozesses wird dann der Sauerstoffgehalt der Gasatmosphare schrittweise oder kontinuierlich reduziert. Je nach Anwendung kann diese Reduzierung des Sauerstoffgehaltes auf bis zu 0 Vol.% erfolgen, d.h. die Gasatmosphare kann am Ende der zweiten Sinterstufe lediglich aus Stickstoff bestehen. Auch in diesem Fall kann anstelle von Stickstoff jedoch auch ein anderes Inertgas eingesetzt werden.This first stage of the sintering process is followed by a second stage at temperatures between 900 ° C and 1150 ° C. This second sintering stage extends over a period of 5 minutes to 2 hours, with the heating rate between 10 to 40 K / min and the cooling rate between 5 to 40 K / min is selected. At the same time, during this second stage of the sintering process, the sintering is carried out in a gas atmosphere which initially consists of 50 vol. % up to 100 vol.% embroidery Fabric and 0 vol. % to 50 vol.% oxygen. The gas atmosphere preferably contains 5 vol. At the beginning of the second stage of the sintering process. % up to 30 vol. % Oxygen. In the course of the second stage of the sintering process, the oxygen content of the gas atmosphere is then gradually or continuously reduced. Depending on the application, the oxygen content can be reduced to up to 0% by volume, ie the gas atmosphere at the end of the second sintering stage can consist only of nitrogen. In this case, too, another inert gas can be used instead of nitrogen.
Nach dem Sintern folgt bei Bedarf dann eine thermische Nachbehandlung des erhaltenen weichmagnetischen Verbundwerkstof- fes, die sich über einen Zeitraum von 30 min bis 3 h erstreckt. Wahrend dieser thermischen Nachbehandlung wird der Sinterkorper bei Temperaturen von 600°C bis 800°C mit einer Gasatmosphare beaufschlagt, die zu 50 Vol.% bis 100 Vol . % aus Stickstoff und 0 Vol . % bis 50 Vol . % aus Sauerstoff be- steht. Bevorzugt weist die Gasatmosphare wahrend der thermischen Nachbehandlung einen Sauerstoffgehalt von 10 bis 30 Vol.% auf.After sintering, a thermal aftertreatment of the soft magnetic composite material is then carried out, if necessary, which extends over a period of 30 minutes to 3 hours. During this thermal aftertreatment, the sintered body is subjected to a gas atmosphere at temperatures of 600 ° C to 800 ° C, 50% by volume to 100% by volume. % of nitrogen and 0 vol. % up to 50 vol. % consists of oxygen. The gas atmosphere preferably has an oxygen content of 10 to 30% by volume during the thermal aftertreatment.
Diese thermische Nachbehandlung dient der Verbesserung der physikalischen Eigenschaften des erhaltenen gesinterten Ver- bundkorpers und kann somit in Abhängigkeit von den qualitativen Anforderungen an den Verbundwerkstoff und von den eingesetzten Ausgangskomponenten zur Kostenersparnis auch entfallen.This thermal aftertreatment serves to improve the physical properties of the sintered composite body obtained and, depending on the qualitative requirements for the composite material and the starting components used, can therefore also be omitted in order to save costs.
Im übrigen sei betont, daß das Entbindern der verdichteten Ausgangsmischung und das Sintern der verdichteten, entbinderten Ausgangsmischung zu dem Verbundwerkstoff innerhalb eines Arbeitsschrittes nacheinander erfolgen kann. Nach Abschluß des Sinterns kann der erhaltene weichmagnetische Verbundwerkstoff dann, sofern erforderlich, mechanisch nachbearbeitet werden.It should also be emphasized that the debinding of the compressed starting mixture and the sintering of the compressed, debindered starting mixture to form the composite material can take place in succession in one work step. After completion of the sintering, the soft magnetic composite material obtained can then, if necessary, be reworked mechanically.
Der schließlich erhaltene Verbundwerkstoff weist eine typische Sattigungspolarisation von etwa 1 Tesla bis 1,6 Tesla, insbesondere mehr als 1,5 Tesla, bei einem spezifischen elektrischen Widerstand von mehr als 2 μΩm auf. Außerdem ist er für den Einsatz in Magnetventilen unter typischen Be- dingungen uneingeschränkt treibstoff- und temperaturbeständig.The composite material finally obtained has a typical saturation polarization of approximately 1 Tesla to 1.6 Tesla, in particular more than 1.5 Tesla, with a specific electrical resistance of more than 2 μΩm. It is also fully fuel and temperature resistant for use in solenoid valves under typical conditions.
Ein weiteres Ausfuhrungsbeispiel der Erfindung sieht in leichter Abwandlung des vorstehenden Ausfuhrungsbeispiels vor, zunächst die erste ferromagnetische Ausgangskomponente 11 und die zweite Ausgangskomponente 12 in Form eines Ferrit-Pulvers, gegebenenfalls unter Zugabe von Silizium, Aluminium oder deren Oxide, miteinander zu vermischen, und diese Mischung dann zunächst, d.h. vor dem Verpressen bzw. Ver- dichten, einer Wärmebehandlung zu unterziehen.A further exemplary embodiment of the invention provides, in a slight modification of the above exemplary embodiment, to first mix the first ferromagnetic starting component 11 and the second starting component 12 in the form of a ferrite powder, optionally with the addition of silicon, aluminum or their oxides, and this mixture then first, ie to undergo heat treatment before pressing or compacting.
Diese Wärmebehandlung erfolgt bei 400°C bis 700°C für 15 min bis 45 min unter einer Gasatmosphare der Zusammensetzung 50 Vol.% bis 100 Vol . % Stickstoff und 0 Vol . % bis 50 Vol.% Sauerstoff. Bevorzugt weist die Gasatmosphare einen Anteil von 10 Vol.% bis 30 Vol.% Sauerstoff auf. Anstelle des Stickstoffes eignet sich auch ein anderes Inertgas.This heat treatment is carried out at 400 ° C to 700 ° C for 15 min to 45 min under a gas atmosphere of the composition 50 vol.% To 100 vol. % Nitrogen and 0 vol. % to 50 vol.% oxygen. The gas atmosphere preferably has a proportion of 10% by volume to 30% by volume of oxygen. Another inert gas is also suitable instead of nitrogen.
Erst nach dieser Wärmebehandlung wird dann der Ausgangsmi- schung das Microwachs entsprechend dem ersten Ausfuhrungsbeispiel zugesetzt und es folgt das uniaxiale Verpressen, Entbindern und Sintern völlig analog dem ersten Ausfuhrungsbeispiel . Abschließend sei betont, daß es prinzipiell auch möglich ist, die Wärmebehandlung der Ausgangsmischung vor dem Verdichten bzw. Verpressen gemäß dem zweiten Ausfuhrungsbeispiel auch in einer reinen Stickstoff- oder Inertgasatmo- sphare durchzufuhren. Gleiches gilt auch für die beiden Stufen des erläuterten Sinterprozesses. Die Zugabe von Sauerstoff zu der Gasatmosphare in der angegebenen Weise ist jedoch bevorzugt und fuhrt zu deutlich besseren Ergebnissen. Only after this heat treatment is the microwax added to the starting mixture in accordance with the first exemplary embodiment, and is followed by the uniaxial pressing, debinding and sintering completely analogous to the first exemplary embodiment. In conclusion, it should be emphasized that, in principle, it is also possible to carry out the heat treatment of the starting mixture in a pure nitrogen or inert gas atmosphere before compression or compression according to the second exemplary embodiment. The same applies to the two stages of the sintering process explained. However, the addition of oxygen to the gas atmosphere in the manner indicated is preferred and leads to significantly better results.
