Description
本発明は、表面硬化処理と被膜処理とを施して表面を低静摩擦かつ高耐摩耗性を付与した析出硬化型ステンレス鋼に関する。更に本発明は、上記表面硬化処理と上記被膜処理とを同時に行った、上記ステンレス鋼の表面の被膜に関する。これにより得られた被覆鋼は、硬さが非常に高く同時に被膜接合性が高い。この鋼は、例えばショックアブソーバ、内燃機関の部品、油圧装置などのように、高強度および/または高靭性と耐摩耗性および低摩擦とを同時に要求され、かつコスト効率が良くてはならない諸用途に適している。 The present invention relates to a precipitation hardening stainless steel that has been subjected to surface hardening treatment and coating treatment to impart low static friction and high wear resistance to the surface. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a coating on the surface of the stainless steel, wherein the surface hardening treatment and the coating treatment are performed simultaneously. The coated steel thus obtained has a very high hardness and at the same time a high film bondability. This steel is used in various applications where high strength and / or high toughness, wear resistance and low friction are required at the same time, and it must be cost-effective, such as shock absorbers, internal combustion engine parts, hydraulic systems, etc. Suitable for
通常は、ステンレス鋼は他の鋼材より軟質である。そのため多くの場合にステンレス鋼の硬化処理を行っており、これには全体の処理の場合もあるし、表面の処理の場合もある。全体の処理は鋼材全体を均一に硬化するものであり、例えば板材や線材の断面全体を硬化するが、表面の処理は部材の表面だけを硬化するものであり、基材全体としては大きな特性変化はしない。 Usually, stainless steel is softer than other steel materials. For this reason, stainless steel is hardened in many cases, and this may be a whole treatment or a surface treatment. The whole treatment is to harden the entire steel material uniformly, for example, the whole cross section of the plate material or wire is hardened, but the surface treatment is to harden only the surface of the member, and the characteristics change as a whole substrate I do not.
例えば、US-A-5,632,826(WO-A-95/09930)(ここに、その内容全体を本願の開示の一部として取り込む)には、材料全体に渡って粒子を析出させることによって強化した析出硬化型ステンレス鋼が開示されている。この強化粒子は擬結晶構造を持っており、この構造は約650℃までの温度で約1000時間までの時効処理によって生成したものである。この強化機構による引張強さの増加は少なくとも200MPaである。 For example, US-A-5,632,826 (WO-A-95 / 09930) (herein incorporated in its entirety as part of the present disclosure) has enhanced precipitation by precipitating particles throughout the material. Hardened stainless steel is disclosed. The reinforcing particles have a pseudo-crystal structure, and this structure is produced by aging treatment at a temperature up to about 650 ° C. for up to about 1000 hours. The increase in tensile strength due to this strengthening mechanism is at least 200 MPa.
ステンレス鋼およびステンレス鋼製部材を析出硬化させる他の方法としては、WO-A-93/07303、WO-A-01/36699、WO-A-01/14601に開示されている(ここに、その内容全体を本願の開示の一部として取り込む)。例えばWO-A-01/36699によると、時効/硬化する前の材料の製造方法として、マルテンサイト量が50%以上、望ましくは70%以上となるように十分な変形量で冷間成形する。 Other methods for precipitation hardening of stainless steel and stainless steel members are disclosed in WO-A-93 / 07303, WO-A-01 / 36699, WO-A-01 / 14601 (here, The entire contents are incorporated as part of the disclosure of the present application). For example, according to WO-A-01 / 36699, as a method for producing a material before aging / curing, cold forming is performed with a sufficient amount of deformation so that the amount of martensite is 50% or more, preferably 70% or more.
多くのステンレス鋼用途で、鋼全体を均一に硬化する処理の代わりに、表面だけを硬化する「表面硬化処理」が行なわれている。表面硬化の基本的な考え方は、部材表面の炭素等の成分を富化して薄い表層を変態させて基材内部より表層を硬化させ、基材内部は変化させないことである。 In many stainless steel applications, a “surface hardening process” is performed in which only the surface is hardened instead of the process of uniformly hardening the entire steel. The basic concept of surface hardening is to enrich components such as carbon on the surface of the member, transform the thin surface layer to cure the surface layer from the inside of the base material, and not change the inside of the base material.
ステンレス鋼の表面硬化は浸炭によって行なうことが多い。すなわち、基材すなわち鋼の表層部に炭素原子を拡散させ、固溶させる。公知の表面硬化法は高温で行なわれる。浸炭処理は約540℃か更に高い温度(ステンレス鋼の場合)で行なわれる。しかし、このような高温で処理すると表面硬化層内に炭化物が生成する。 The surface hardening of stainless steel is often performed by carburizing. That is, carbon atoms are diffused and dissolved in the base material, that is, the surface layer portion of steel. Known surface curing methods are performed at high temperatures. The carburization process is performed at about 540 ° C. or higher (in the case of stainless steel). However, when treated at such a high temperature, carbides are generated in the surface hardened layer.
多くの機械用途で、鋼表面については硬さだけでなく静摩擦特性も問題になることが知られている。たとえ潤滑を行なったとしても、静摩擦によってかなりの摩擦損失が発生し、特に往復運動ではそれが大きい。例えば、車両のショックアブソーバ、プロセス工業の油圧システム、およびカムフォロワ等の内燃機関の内部部材などがその例である。運動が高頻度で変化すると、静摩擦によってショックアブソーバのシール金属表面が局部的に昇温するため、性能劣化が起き、油圧油の漏出の危険が生ずる。 In many mechanical applications, it is known that not only the hardness but also the static friction properties become a problem for steel surfaces. Even if lubrication is performed, considerable friction loss occurs due to static friction, and this is particularly large in reciprocating motion. Examples are vehicle shock absorbers, process industry hydraulic systems, internal members of internal combustion engines such as cam followers, and the like. When the motion changes frequently, the surface of the seal metal of the shock absorber rises locally due to static friction, resulting in performance deterioration and a risk of leakage of hydraulic oil.
静摩擦を低減する通常の方法としては、下地の鋼基材より高性能の層を被覆する。被覆層は低摩擦に加えて、機械的な耐摩耗性があればなお良い。そのため、被覆層は硬さが高いほど良い。プロセス工業で用いる油圧式のステアリング制御装置は、静摩擦が大きいと運動抵抗によって油圧部材の精度が劣化する。内燃機関の場合にも静摩擦を低減する必要があり、例えば吸気バルブ用および排気バルブ用のカムフォロワといった部品には重要な問題である。フォロワが作動する表面は非常に大きい局所的荷重を受けるので、摩耗が大きな問題になる。 The usual way to reduce static friction is to coat a higher performance layer than the underlying steel substrate. It is better if the coating layer has mechanical wear resistance in addition to low friction. Therefore, the higher the hardness of the coating layer, the better. In the hydraulic steering control device used in the process industry, when the static friction is large, the accuracy of the hydraulic member is deteriorated due to the movement resistance. In the case of an internal combustion engine as well, it is necessary to reduce static friction, which is an important problem for components such as intake valve and exhaust valve cam followers. Since the surface on which the follower operates is subjected to very large local loads, wear becomes a major problem.
従来、静摩擦を低減し硬さを高める方法としては、表面を非常に滑らかにして、その上に硬質クロムめっきを行なう。この方法で低合金鋼の熱間加工材で達成されている硬さレベルは約1000Hvである。めっき層を保持するために、硬質クロムめっきを行なう前に、表面硬化処理を行なうことが多い。この処理は複雑であり、硬化処理中に発生する寸法変化により処理不良箇所が生ずる。 Conventionally, as a method of reducing static friction and increasing hardness, the surface is made very smooth and hard chrome plating is performed thereon. The hardness level achieved in this way in hot work of low alloy steel is about 1000 Hv. In order to retain the plating layer, surface hardening treatment is often performed before hard chrome plating. This process is complicated, and defective portions are generated due to dimensional changes that occur during the curing process.
基材と被膜との硬さの差の問題を解消する一つの方法は、複数層を積層することである。被膜処理を施したワークピースの層構造は、基体すなわち鋼基材の上に硬質材料層、金属層、最後に摺動層が積層した構造であり、摺動層の望ましい材質は炭化物、特にタングステン炭化物またはクロム炭化物と、炭素の分散層とから成る。この複合構造は、硬さ値も高く、静摩擦も小さいが、複数層で構成されているので複雑で、製造に時間とコストがかかり実用的でない。 One method for solving the problem of the difference in hardness between the substrate and the coating is to laminate a plurality of layers. The layer structure of the workpiece subjected to the coating treatment is a structure in which a hard material layer, a metal layer, and finally a sliding layer are laminated on a substrate, ie, a steel substrate, and a desirable material for the sliding layer is carbide, particularly tungsten. It consists of carbide or chromium carbide and a dispersed layer of carbon. This composite structure has a high hardness value and a low static friction, but is complex because it is composed of a plurality of layers, and it is time consuming and expensive to manufacture and is not practical.
もう一つの方法は、基材上に接合層、遷移層、ダイヤモンド状カーボン)の外層を積層した構造とすることである。接合層は、例えば4族、5族、6族、およびシリコンから成る群から選択した少なくとも1種の元素を構成成分とする。遷移層はダイヤモンド状カーボンから成る。この層構造は、硬さが15GPa以上、望ましくは20GPa以上であり、VDI3824(「PVDおよびCVDによる硬質被膜の品質保証」)のシート4による接合強度が3HF以上である。 Another method is to form a structure in which an outer layer of a bonding layer, a transition layer, and diamond-like carbon) is laminated on a substrate. For example, the bonding layer includes at least one element selected from the group consisting of Group 4, Group 5, Group 6, and silicon as a constituent component. The transition layer is made of diamond-like carbon. This layer structure has a hardness of 15 GPa or more, desirably 20 GPa or more, and a bonding strength of the sheet 4 of VDI 3824 (“quality assurance of hard coating by PVD and CVD”) is 3 HF or more.

本発明の第二の目的は、単純でコスト効率の良い方法で、処理工程数をできるだけ少なくして、ステンレス鋼の表面の静摩擦を低減し、硬さと耐摩耗性を高めることである。 The second object of the present invention is to reduce the static friction on the surface of the stainless steel and to increase the hardness and wear resistance by reducing the number of processing steps as much as possible in a simple and cost-effective manner.
本発明の第三の目的は、表面の静摩擦を低減し、硬さと耐摩耗性を高めた表面を備えた精巧な形状のステンレス鋼部材を製造することである。 The third object of the present invention is to produce a finely shaped stainless steel member having a surface with reduced surface static friction and increased hardness and wear resistance.

本発明は、特定種類のステンレス鋼の表面に低静摩擦被膜を施す方法に関する。更に、この低静摩擦被膜は、表面の硬さと耐摩耗性をも高める。この被膜は前述の従来技術に開示されている周知のPVD(physical vapor deposition:物理蒸着)法により被覆する。被膜を施すことにより、内部硬さが大幅に上昇し、硬質で低摩擦の表面被膜の付与に必要な硬質で密着性の高い表面層が得られる。PVDは処理温度が比較的低いのでワークピースの寸法変化は発生せず、歪も生じない。何種類かの特別のステンレス鋼にPVD法を適用すると、ショックアブソーバのシリンダチューブとピストンロッド、油圧ガイド手段のピストン、および内燃機関のカムフォロワなどの多種多様な製品の製造に有利である。 The present invention relates to a method of applying a low static friction coating on the surface of a specific type of stainless steel. Furthermore, this low static friction coating also increases surface hardness and wear resistance. This coating is applied by the well-known PVD (physical vapor deposition) method disclosed in the aforementioned prior art. By applying the coating, the internal hardness is significantly increased, and a hard and highly adhesive surface layer necessary for providing a hard and low friction surface coating can be obtained. PVD has a relatively low processing temperature, so no dimensional change of the workpiece occurs and no distortion occurs. Application of the PVD method to several types of special stainless steels is advantageous for the manufacture of a wide variety of products such as shock absorber cylinder tubes and piston rods, pistons of hydraulic guide means, and cam followers of internal combustion engines.

このステンレス鋼は、マルテンサイト組織中に擬結晶粒子を含んでいる。この状態は、前述した従来技術US-A-5,632,826、WO-A-93/07303、WO-A-01/14601、WO-A-01/36699に説明されている析出硬化により生成する。 This stainless steel contains pseudocrystalline particles in the martensite structure. This state is generated by precipitation hardening described in the above-mentioned prior art US-A-5,632,826, WO-A-93 / 07303, WO-A-01 / 14601, and WO-A-01 / 36699.
本発明による表面処理を施すために、特定の析出硬化型ステンレス鋼(名称「1RK91」)として下記の組成(wt%)を選択した。
C+N:約0.05以下、
Cr :12.00、
Mn :0.30、

In order to perform the surface treatment according to the present invention, the following composition (wt%) was selected as a specific precipitation hardening stainless steel (named “1RK91”).
C + N: about 0.05 or less,
Cr: 12.00,
Mn: 0.30,
Ni: 9.00,
Mo: 4.00,
Ti: 0.90,

この鋼に、低静摩擦被膜を施す。この被膜は、PVD法で形成した窒化チタンまたはダイヤモンド状カーボン(DLC)から実質的に成る。この処理においては、金属ピースを約450℃〜約500℃の温度に2時間保持する。同じ温度範囲で所定時間後に、鋼の硬化が起きて650HVの硬さが得られる。このようにして、一回の処理で被膜の優れた支持層が形成される。処理温度が比較的低いので、ワークピースは形状を高精度で維持しており、加工処理が大幅に簡略化される。同時に、6μmというオーダの薄い層であるにもかかわらず、硬化表面上の従来の25μmという厚い硬質クロム層に比べて、耐摩耗性が優れている。すなわち本発明の大きな利点として、低摩擦かつ耐摩耗性の被膜形成と必要な表面硬化とが単一の処理によって同時に行なわれる。 A low static friction coating is applied to this steel. This coating consists essentially of titanium nitride or diamond-like carbon (DLC) formed by PVD. In this process, the metal piece is held at a temperature of about 450 ° C. to about 500 ° C. for 2 hours. After a predetermined time in the same temperature range, hardening of the steel occurs and a hardness of 650 HV is obtained. In this way, a support layer having an excellent coating film is formed by a single treatment. Since the processing temperature is relatively low, the workpiece maintains its shape with high accuracy, and the processing is greatly simplified. At the same time, despite being a thin layer on the order of 6 μm, it has better wear resistance than the conventional hard chromium layer of 25 μm on the cured surface. That is, as a great advantage of the present invention, the formation of a low-friction and wear-resistant film and the necessary surface hardening are simultaneously performed by a single treatment.
本発明のもう一つの大きな利点は、チューブ状の製品を製造するためのチューブ状のワークピースの場合にある。本発明のステンレス鋼は冷間加工性が優れているので、チューブ状製品を容易に製造できる。すなわち、これまで棒形状の製品に共通して必要であった高コストの長穴ドリル加工が不要になる。 Another significant advantage of the present invention is in the case of a tubular workpiece for producing a tubular product. Since the stainless steel of the present invention is excellent in cold workability, a tubular product can be easily manufactured. That is, the high-cost long hole drilling process that has been required in common with rod-shaped products is not necessary.
極めて硬質かつ耐摩耗性の表面が必要な場合、例えばエンジン部品などの場合には、基材表面と本発明によるPVD被膜との間に、プラズマ窒化層を介在させることができる。プラズマ窒化法はもう一つの表面硬化法であり、圧力約100〜約1000Pa(約1〜約10mbar)の窒素ガス含有混合雰囲気中にてグロー放電中で行なう。これは、高硬さと優れた耐摩耗性とを持つ窒素拡散層を生成するステンレス鋼の表面処理法の一つである。窒化による硬化は、表層に窒化物が析出することにより起こる。プラズマ窒化法は最も新しく開発された表面硬化法である。これは、従来のガス窒化やガス浸炭窒化(短時間ガス窒化、浸漬窒化およびテニファ(登録商標、塩浴窒化法であり別名「タフライド法」とも呼ばれる))などに置き換わる方法であり、個々の場合について温度−化学反応の条件を確定することができる点で優れている。プラズマ窒化法を用いると、硬さと耐摩耗性が高く、かつ歪が少ない。更に、プラズマ窒化はコスト効率が非常に良い。それは、多くの場合、処理後に機械加工、仕上げ、残滓除去をする必要がないからである。同じく、付加的な保護手段であるバニッシュ仕上げやリン酸処理などが不要になる。 When a very hard and wear-resistant surface is required, for example in the case of engine parts, a plasma nitride layer can be interposed between the substrate surface and the PVD coating according to the invention. The plasma nitriding method is another surface hardening method and is performed in a glow discharge in a nitrogen gas-containing mixed atmosphere at a pressure of about 100 to about 1000 Pa (about 1 to about 10 mbar). This is one of the surface treatment methods for stainless steel that produces a nitrogen diffusion layer with high hardness and excellent wear resistance. Hardening by nitriding occurs by precipitation of nitride on the surface layer. Plasma nitriding is the most newly developed surface hardening method. This is a method that replaces conventional gas nitriding and gas carbonitriding (short-time gas nitriding, immersion nitriding, and tenifa (registered trademark, salt bath nitriding method, also called “Taflide method”)). Is excellent in that the conditions of the temperature-chemical reaction can be determined. When the plasma nitriding method is used, hardness and wear resistance are high and distortion is small. Furthermore, plasma nitriding is very cost effective. This is because, in many cases, there is no need to machine, finish and remove residues after processing. Similarly, vanish finishing and phosphoric acid treatment, which are additional protection means, are not required.
プラズマ窒化処理は真空炉で行なう。処理温度としては個々の処理の必要に応じて約400℃〜約580℃の範囲内の温度を用いる。代表的な処理温度は約420℃〜約500℃の範囲内である。処理時間は、処理対象の部材と、形成したい層の構造と厚さとに応じて、10分から70時間まで変化する。最も多く用いられるプロセスガスは、アンモニア、窒素、メタン、水素である。酸化後の耐食処理には酸素と二酸化炭素が用いられる。プロセスガスの種類の他に、圧力、温度、時間は処理プロセスの主要なパラメータである。当業者はこれらのパラメータを変えることによって、処理部材に求められる諸性質に正確に合わせたプラズマ窒化処理ができる。 Plasma nitriding is performed in a vacuum furnace. As the processing temperature, a temperature within the range of about 400 ° C. to about 580 ° C. is used according to the needs of individual processing. Typical processing temperatures are in the range of about 420 ° C to about 500 ° C. The processing time varies from 10 minutes to 70 hours depending on the member to be processed and the structure and thickness of the layer to be formed. The most frequently used process gases are ammonia, nitrogen, methane, and hydrogen. Oxygen and carbon dioxide are used for the corrosion resistance treatment after oxidation. In addition to the type of process gas, pressure, temperature and time are the main parameters of the treatment process. A person skilled in the art can perform plasma nitriding processing precisely matching various properties required for the processing member by changing these parameters.
鉄基材料であればいずれもプラズマ窒化処理は可能である。この処理方法は特別な種類の窒化鋼を用いる必要がない。更に、プラズマ窒化で得られる結果はピンポイントの正確さで再現可能である。このことは特に同一種類の製品を連続生産する場合に重要である。しかし、プラズマ窒化法では、静摩擦の低減が不十分である。ステンレス鋼を約450℃〜約500℃の温度範囲に2回晒すことになるが、この温度範囲では軟化しないので全く問題はない。 Any iron-based material can be plasma-nitrided. This treatment method does not require the use of a special type of nitrided steel. Furthermore, the results obtained with plasma nitridation are reproducible with pinpoint accuracy. This is particularly important when continuously producing the same type of product. However, the plasma nitriding method is insufficient in reducing static friction. Although stainless steel is exposed twice to a temperature range of about 450 ° C. to about 500 ° C., there is no problem at all because it does not soften in this temperature range.
