Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft gesinterte schall- und schwingungsdämpfende Werkstoffe, die die Eigenschaft aufweisen, unerwünschte Geräusche und Vibrationen zu dämpfen. Dabei wird mechanische Energie absorbiert und in Form von Wärme in ihre Umgebung abgegeben.The invention relates to sintered sound and vibration damping materials, which have the property to damp unwanted noise and vibration. This mechanical energy is absorbed and released in the form of heat in their environment.
Unerwünschte Schwingungen/ Vibrationen, die ein großes Frequenzspektrum aufweisen können, entstehen in vielen Industriebereichen durch mechanische Bewegungen von Baugruppen. Die hohe Vibrationsbelastung in schwingenden Systemen führt zu verkürzten Lebensdauern und unerwünschten Ausfallzeiten bzw. Stillstandzeiten der beanspruchten Bauteile. Erhebliche Probleme entstehen auch durch die Lärmentwicklung aufgrund von Schwingungen.Unwanted oscillations / vibrations, which can have a large frequency spectrum, occur in many industrial sectors due to mechanical movements of assemblies. The high vibration load in oscillating systems leads to shortened lifetimes and unwanted downtime or downtime of the claimed components. Significant problems also arise due to the noise due to vibrations.
Die Aufnahme oder Minderung unerwünschter Schwingungsenergie beinhaltet die Umwandlung dieser Energieform in eine andere, in der Mehrzahl der Fälle in Wärme. Aus molekularer Sicht besteht der wichtigste Unterschied zwischen Wärmeenergie und Schwingungsenergie in der Zufälligkeit des Richtungsvektors für die Auslenkung der Atome um ihre Gleichgewichtslage. Die Schwingungsenergie ist sehr stark mit der Kollektivbewegung der Atome zur selben Zeit und in dieselbe Richtung verbunden. Wärmeenergie hingegen kann denselben oder einen größeren Energiewert aufweisen als die sich selbst fortpflanzende Schwingungsenergie. Der große Unterschied besteht jedoch darin, dass die Bewegung der Atome um ihre Gleichgewichtslage zufällig ist und gleichzeitig die mittlere Auslenkung nahezu den Wert Null aufweist.The absorption or reduction of unwanted vibrational energy involves the transformation of this energy form into another, in the majority of cases into heat. From a molecular point of view, the most important difference between thermal energy and vibrational energy lies in the randomness of the direction vector for the deflection of the atoms around their equilibrium position. The vibrational energy is strongly related to the collective motion of the atoms at the same time and in the same direction. By contrast, thermal energy can have the same or a greater energy value than the self-propagating vibrational energy. The big difference, however, is that the motion of the atoms around their equilibrium position is random and at the same time the mean deflection is almost zero.
Grundsätzlich sind zwei Möglichkeiten bekannt, mit deren Hilfe der einheitliche Richtungsvektor der Atome in einem Material verändert werden kann, während Energie in Form von Schwingungen durch das Material hindurchtransportiert wird.In principle, two possibilities are known with the aid of which the uniform directional vector of the atoms in a material can be changed, while energy in the form of vibrations is transported through the material.

Der durch ein gezieltes Sintern hergestellte erfindungsgemäße Werkstoff ist dabei mindestens mit einem Metall oder einer Metalllegierung und Kohlenstoff in Form von Graphit gebildet. Der Anteil an Graphit ist bei mindestens 50 Vol.-% gehalten. Das Metall oder die Metalllegierung sind so ausgewählt, dass durch chemische Reaktion eine Carbidbildung möglich werden kann. Der Anteil an Carbid im fertig hergestellten Werkstoff liegt aber unterhalb des Graphitanteils.

By varying the graphite content in the material according to the invention, the properties of modulus of elasticity and damping factor can be adapted to the conditions of use.

Es können aber weitere Metalle, Metalllegierungen, Verstärkungskomponenten oder andere Zusatzstoffe zusätzlich enthalten sein. Dabei sollte der Anteil an Carbid bildendem Metall jedoch höher sein.

Durch inniges Mischen von metallischem Basismaterial und Graphit als Zweitphase kann eine homogene Pulvermischung hergestellt werden, so dass die Zweitphasenpartikel vollständig von dem Basismaterialpulver umhüllt sind. In der Pulvermischung, die zur Herstellung des Werkstoffs eingesetzt wird, sollte kein Carbid zumindest jedoch kein Carbid des eingesetzten carbidbildenden Metalls oder einer solchen Metalllegierung enthalten sein. Das im fertig hergestellten Werkstoff enthaltene Carbid kann ausschließlich durch eine chemische Reaktion des eingesetzten Metallpulvers mit dem Kohlenstoff bei der Wärmebehandlung gebildet werden.By intimately mixing metallic base material and graphite as a second phase, a homogeneous powder mixture can be prepared so that the second phase particles are completely enveloped by the base material powder. In the powder mixture used to make the material, there should be no carbide or at least no carbide of the carbide-forming metal or metal alloy used.

Zur Konsolidierung eines erfindungsgemäßen Werkstoffes sind Verfahren, die in kurzer Zeit und somit auch kostengünstig eingesetzt werden können, zu bevorzugen. Hierfür geeignete Verfahren sind beispielsweise induktiv- oder konduktiv beheiztes Heißpressen und abgewandelte Verfahren. An dieser Stelle seien das Spark Plasma Sintern (SPS) und das Field Assisted Sintering (FAST) als besonders geeignete Beispiele angeführt. Eine entsprechende Menge der Pulvermischung kann in eine Matrize (beispielsweise aus Graphit) oder eine Kapsel gefüllt und gegebenenfalls mit einem Druck von einigen MPa vorverdichtet werden. Die befüllte Matrize kann in eine entsprechende Heisspresse eingesetzt und anschließend evakuiert werden. Durch Variation von Heiz- und Abkühlraten in Verbindung mit kurzen Sinterzeiten und definierten Pressdrücken gelingt es einerseits das matrixbildende Pulver zu sintern und gleichzeitig den Gehalt und die Ausprägung des Carbidnetzwerkes zu steuern. Ggf. nach einer Haltezeit bei der gewünschten Sintertemperatur kann eine Abkühlung durchgeführt, die Kammer belüftet und die Matrize samt Probe entnommen werden. Anschließend wird die Probe aus erfindungsgemäßem Werkstoff ausgeformt.To consolidate a material according to the invention, processes which can be used in a short time and thus also cost-effectively are to be preferred. Suitable methods for this purpose are, for example, inductively or conductively heated hot pressing and modified methods. At this point, Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) and Field Assisted Sintering (FAST) are considered as particularly suitable examples. A corresponding amount of the powder mixture can be filled into a die (for example made of graphite) or a capsule and optionally precompressed with a pressure of a few MPa. The filled matrix can be placed in a corresponding hot press and then evacuated. By varying heating and cooling rates in conjunction With short sintering times and defined pressing pressures, it is possible on the one hand to sinter the matrix-forming powder and at the same time to control the content and the extent of the carbide network. Possibly. After a holding time at the desired sintering temperature, a cooling can be carried out, the chamber is ventilated and the matrix and sample are removed. Subsequently, the sample is formed from material according to the invention.
Der Anteil an im fertigen Werkstoff enthaltenem Carbid kann durch geringere Heizraten, längere Haltezeit und kleinere Kühlrate erhöht werden. Die Carbidbildung wird dabei verhindert bzw. reduziert, wenn hohe Heiz- und hohe Kühlraten und/oder kürzere Haltezeiten der maximalen Temperatur beim Sintern gewählt werden. Auch die maximale Temperatur hat Einfluss auf eine Bildung von Carbid. Bei höheren maximalen Temperaturen kann ein höherer Anteil gebildet worden sein. Die Heizrate sollte mindestens 20 K/min betragen. Wie bereits angesprochen können zur Einhaltung eines kleineren Carbidanteils auch deutlich höhere Heizraten genutzt werden, die oberhalb 100 K/min liegen können. Die maximale Temperatur wird im Wesentlichen vom eingesetzten Metall oder einer Metalllegierung und dessen/deren Sinterverhalten bestimmt.The proportion of carbide contained in the finished material can be increased by lower heating rates, longer retention time and lower cooling rate. Carbide formation is prevented or reduced if high heating and high cooling rates and / or shorter holding times of the maximum temperature during sintering are selected. The maximum temperature also influences the formation of carbide. At higher maximum temperatures, a higher proportion may have been formed. The heating rate should be at least 20 K / min. As already mentioned, significantly higher heating rates can be used to maintain a smaller carbide content, which can be above 100 K / min. The maximum temperature is essentially determined by the metal used or a metal alloy and its sintering behavior.
Die mittlere Partikelgröße d50 sollte bei Metall kleiner 10 µm bevorzugt kleiner 5 µm sein. Die mittlere Flockengöße des eingesetzten Graphits sollte im Bereich 30 bis 900 µm, bevorzugt im Bereich 60 bis 120 µm gehalten sein.The average particle size d 50 should preferably be less than 5 μm for metal smaller than 10 μm. The mean flake size of the graphite used should be kept in the range from 30 to 900 .mu.m, preferably in the range from 60 to 120 .mu.m.
Bei der Herstellung sollte so vorgegangen werden und Ausgangspulver eingesetzt werden, dass ein erfindungsgemäßer Werkstoff eine theoretische Dichte von mindestens 80 %, bevorzugt mindestens 90 % nach dem Sintern aufweist.In the production, the procedure should be such and starting powders are used that a material according to the invention has a theoretical density of at least 80%, preferably at least 90% after sintering.

Diese sind deutlich besser als bei vergleichbaren Werkstoffen, die mit Kupfer oder Aluminium und Graphit gebildet sind.The material of the invention is characterized not only by its good damping properties but also by its mechanical properties, such as strength and rigidity. These are significantly better than comparable materials that are formed with copper or aluminum and graphite.
