Definitions

  • the invention relates to a shell or tubular object, especially having a complicated configuration, and a method to manufacture the same.
  • the background of the invention is a desire to make it possible to operate internal combustion engines at a higher working temperature, whereby an increased efficiency and a more complete combustion can be achieved.
  • it is a well-known problem to accomplish temperature and corrosion resistance of the materials, especially in combustion chambers and exhaust channels, in case the working temperature is to be raised above what is normal in today's engines.
  • ceramic materials are high-temperature and corrosion resistant, but it is complicated and expensive to combine ceramics with other, metallic construction materials, such as iron and nickel alloys. Tensions are caused by different temperature coefficients. Certain ceramics will also be subjected to phase transformations in temperature intervals within or very close to the working temperatures in question. Moreover, the subsequent treatment, e.g. the boring of holes, becomes more difficult, if ceramics are used.
  • tubular surface bodies which have been thermally sprayed in advance, with a remaining mandrel or core.
  • this known method only very simple, especially cylindrical or conical tube forms can be used, since it must be possible to take out the mandrel or core after molding.
  • the published Swedish Patent Application SE-A-8300603-1 discloses a method of manufacturing a machine part, including a heat insulated inlet gas channel, by thermally spraying a very thin first layer, having a thickness of 0.1-0.2 mm, of a soft metal material, such as zinc, tin, lead, copper or aluminium, onto a sand core.
  • a second layer, having a thickness of 0.5-2.5 mm, of a metal material, such as carbon steel, is thermally sprayed onto the first layer, and thereafter a third layer, serving as a heat barrier and consisting of a ceramic material is applied, e.g. by thermal spraying.
  • the sand core with the three layers applied thereon is placed in a mold for molding the machine part in a conventional manner. Upon molding, the sand core is removed, so that the three layers form an internal surface of a channel in the machine part.
  • the innermost layer, forming the internal surface layer of the machine part is not corrosion resistant and is not suitable e.g. for exhaust channels.
  • the melting point of the soft metal material is far too low to permit the use in an exhaust channel of a combustion engine.
  • a typical temperature of the exhaust gases is about 850°C, whereas the melting point of Zn is about 420°C.
  • the object of the invention is to eliminate the disadvantages and restrictions of the known methods and to enable a simple manufacture of shell or tubular objects, even with a complicated geometry, by thermal spraying of a heat and corrosion resistant metal alloy so as to form a relatively thick, first surface layer and a second layer serving as a heat barrier, without any risk of cracking during the spraying process.
  • a further object is to enable the molding of such an object into a molded body having one or several channels or cavities constituted by the molded shell or tubular object according to the invention.
  • the main object is achieved in that the first layer consists of a high temperature and corrosion resistant alloy with a thickness of 0.5-1.5 mm and in that the second layer likewise consists of a high temperature and corrosion resistant metal alloy, which contains more oxides and/or pores than the first layer and thereby serves as a heat barrier, the second layer being sprayed onto the first layer upon removal of the core body, whereby cracking is avoided.
  • the core body, onto which a first layer is sprayed will be removed before additional material is applied by spraying. It is particularly suitable to make the core body of molding sand which can loose its form stability and be discharged from the tube or shell, e.g. upon heating. Without risk of cracking due to tensions, which would unavoidably arise if the core body were to remain, continuous spraying may thereafter be effected up to a desired thickness.
  • the thermal spraying of the second layer should be controlled in such a way that the second layer contains more oxides and/or pores than the first layer, whereby the desired qualities, especially a lower thermal conductivity, are obtained in the second layer.
  • a third layer either between the two other layers or as a separate layer sprayed onto the second layer.
  • a relatively thin third layer may e.g. be used as a diffusion barrier for carbon or nickel. Also, it can be used to increase the mechanical qualities at higher temperatures.
  • a core body 1 is made of molding sand and a phenol resin as a binding agent.
  • the core body 1 has an external configuration corresponding to the desired internal configuration of the tubular object and, in addition thereto, holding portions la, 1b at each end for holding the core body.
  • the desired object comprises an exhaust channel in a cylinder head of a combustion engine.
  • a relatively thin and essentially pore-free layer 2 of a metal alloy containing about 5% Al, 22X Cr and the rest mainly Fe (the contents are by weight) is sprayed onto the core body 1.
  • Porosity if any, must consist of closed pores.
  • the spraying operation is interrupted, whereupon the sand core 1 is removed in that the sand core and the layer sprayed thereon is heated in a furnace at about 600°C for 2-3 hours, and thereafter the sand is discharged from the tubular metal alloy layer 2.
  • a second layer 3 is sprayed onto the first, self-supporting layer 2.
  • the first layer is permitted to expand and shrink freely due to variations of temperature, without any risk of tensions and accompanying cracking.
  • the thickness of the second layer may be at least 1 mm. The spraying process can be performed without interruption for cooling.
  • the first, relatively thin layer 2 is sprayed by means of a wire-fed flame sprayer so as to form a dense layer.
  • the layer may be applied by plasma spraying.
  • the second layer 3 may preferably be applied by means of a powder-fed flame sprayer in order to obtain a suitable quantity of pores and oxides. In this case, a quantity of 5-25Z, preferably about 15X, pores and oxides is desired.
  • the second layer 3 does not have to be of the same material composition as the first layer 2, but may e.g. consist of another metal alloy of high heat resistance.
  • the layer consists of the same material and differs only in porosity and oxide contents.
  • a thin third layer may be applied either between or on top of the two above-mentioned layers.
  • the third layer may i.a. function as an adhesive layer or diffusion barrier.
  • the object and the manufacturing method according to the invention have several advantages.
  • the geometric shape as well as the materials and the thickness thereof can be chosen at will.
  • very thick layers (the second layer 3) may be applied after the removal of the core body.
  • the manufacturing method is relatively quick (metal can be sprayed onto a red hot substrate) and the handling rather simple.
  • the cassation is very low because of the eliminated risk of cracking. Even the subsequent operations, e.g. molding, are facilitated and can therefore be performed with great accuracy.
  • the recircling of scrap is made easier.
