Definitions
- the present invention relates to an aluminium-based bearing material and production of sliding bearings made from the material, particularly, though not exclusively, hydrodynamically lubricated engine crankshaft bearings.
- crankshaft bearings comprising either a copper-based alloy or an aluminium-based bearing, alloy bonded in some manner to a strong backing or substrate material such as steel, for example.
- the actual working surface of the bearing alloy i.e. that surface which faces the engine crankshaft journal surface has also often been provided with a so-called overlay coating which is a thin coating of a relatively softer metal alloy such as lead-tin, lead-tin-copper or lead-indium for example.
- overlay coating is to provide conformability and dirt embeddability properties to the bearing. Conformability is that property of a bearing which allows it to accommodate slight mechanical misalignments between the bearing and shaft surfaces and is a measure of the ability of the overlay alloy to distribute the applied load.
- Dirt embeddability is that property which allows debris particles in the lubricating oil to be embedded in the soft overlay alloy without causing damage such as scoring of the shaft.
- overlay coated bearings have some technical advantages they have the significant disadvantage of being expensive to make due to the overlay generally being deposited by electroplating or sputter deposition which are relatively very labour intensive processes.
- GB 2 358 872 of common ownership herewith, describes aluminium-based bearing alloys for sliding bearings, principally for hydrodynamically lubricated engine bearings, comprising in weight% 5-10 tin; 0.7-1.3 copper; 0.7-1.3 nickel; 1.5-3.5 silicon; 0.1-0.3 vanadium; 0.1-0.3 manganese; balance aluminium apart from incidental impurities.
- This bearing alloy when bonded to a strong backing material such as steel, for example, has good fatigue strength and also exhibits superior scuff resistance when used without an overlay coating as described above and compared with other known high-strength aluminium-based bearing materials.
- an aluminium-based bearing material alloy having a composition comprising in weight%: 5-10 tin; 0.8-1.3 copper; 0.8-1.3 nickel; 1.5-3.0 silicon; 0.13-0.19 vanadium; 0.8-1.2 manganese; 0.4-0.6 chromium; balance aluminium apart from incidental impurities.
- the term "aluminium-based" means that the composition has aluminium as the largest single constituent therein.
- the tin content comprises 5.5-7.0 weight%.
- the alloy according to the present invention when used as an engine crankshaft bearing under hydrodynamically lubricated conditions, may be bonded to a strong backing material, such as steel or bronze, for example.
- a strong backing material such as steel or bronze
- the production process for producing such material generally follows known principles of casting the basic aluminium alloy, working the cast alloy by thermo-mechanical processes to reduce its thickness to a desired size and then bonding the alloy to the strong backing material by a process such as roll pressure welding, for example.
- the aluminium alloy bearing material according to the present invention when in the as- cast condition and also when processed into the final bearing lining possesses inter alia an intermetallic phase comprising MnCrV.
- the phase In the cast material the phase is angular in morphology and has a maximum dimension typically of 50-1 OO ⁇ m.
- the intermetallic phase In the fully processed material the intermetallic phase is irregularly shaped, less angular and typically has a maximum dimension of 5-1 O ⁇ m.
- the intermetallic compounds in the final alloy material when bonded to a strong backing are complex in both their composition and distribution.
- the intermetallic compounds In the wrought alloy by rolling, for example, the intermetallic compounds have been broken down and appear in the areas of tin as elongated clusters in the rolling direction and also as discrete particles of a size as indicated above. The particles themselves are concentrations of: chromium, vanadium and manganese sometimes with silicon; silicon and manganese; and, copper and nickel.
- the bearing alloy according to the present invention has, compared with the known alloy according to GB 2 358 872 described above, approximately 0.75 weight% more manganese and an additional content of 0.4-0.6 weight% chromium. This leads to a higher intrinsic strength and alloy hardness which has provided a higher fatigue strength when in bearing form. It is, therefore, very surprising that the material according to the present invention has maintained, indeed improved, its seizure resistance in the light of this.
- the alloy according to GB 2 358 872 had typical fatigue and seizure ratings of 91 MPa and 85MPa, respectively whereas, the bearing alloy according to the present invention has typical fatigue and seizure ratings of 100MPa and 90MPa, respectively.
- the formed bearings are provided with an interlayer between the aluminium alloy and the strong backing material.
- an interlayer material in the context of the present invention may be aluminium or another aluminium alloy, for example.
- the interlayer may be provided as a step during processing of the cast aluminium bearing alloy such as by bonding a foil of the desired material to the aluminium alloy by a roll pressure bonding step during the thermo-mechanical working process, for example.
- Aluminium and aluminium alloy interlayers are well known in the bearing art and may be employed for different reasons generally related to improving or maintaining the fatigue strength of the final engine bearing.
- an interlayer can prevent the soft phase migrating to the bearing alloy to steel interface during high temperature operation and so reduce fatigue strength.
- the material per se of the interlayer can increase the fatigue strength of the bearing.
- a preferred interlayer comprises, in effect, a two-layer interlayer interposed between the aluminium alloy bearing material and the strong backing material.
- An example of such an interlayer comprises a first layer adjacent the aluminium alloy bearing material of an aluminium-copper-manganese alloy and a second layer adjacent the strong backing material of an aluminium-silicon material.
- An example of the composition of the first layer in weight% is: Al / 0.05-0.2 Cu / 1-1.5 Mn; and, an example of the composition of the second layer in weight% is: Al / 8 Si.
- the aluminium alloy bearing material may have a thickness of about 0.25-0.35mm in a bearing and the interlayer may have a thickness of about 0.025- 035mm in a bearing.
- the strong backing material may have a relatively wide range of thickness upwards from about 1mm depending upon the engine design parameters.
- an engine bearing having a lining of an aluminium-based bearing alloy material according to the first aspect of the present invention.
- Figure 1 shows a schematic, non-scale, axially directed cross section through a bearing having an aluminium alloy bearing material lining according to the present invention and showing the constituent layers;
- Figure 2 shows a histogram showing fatigue strengths of bearings having an aluminium alloy lining according to the present invention and other comparative alloys.
- Figure 3 which shows a histogram showing seizure resistance of bearings having an aluminium alloy lining according to the present invention and other comparative alloys.
- Figure 1 shows a schematic axial cross section through part of a typical bearing 10 having a bearing alloy lining according to the present invention.
- the bearing comprises a layer of a strong backing material of steel 12, an interiayer 14 and a layer of the bearing alloy lining 16 having a sliding bearing surface 18.
- the interiayer 14 itself comprises two layers: a first layer 20 adjacent the bearing alloy lining 16 having a composition of Al-
