- said method further comprises: implementing an intermediate step of stamping of said shaped part following said initial step, before implementing said structural hardening step.
- said method consists in using, to implement said initial step forming, an alloy based on a metal belonging to the group consisting of aluminum, magnesium, titanium, iron, chromium, cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc, silver, tin, lead and antimony.
- An aluminum-based alloy is advantageously used, such as an alloy comprising in addition between 6.5% and 7.5% of silicon, and between 0.5% and 0.6% of magnesium by weight.
- Such an aluminum-based alloy has the advantage of minimizing the phenomenon of corrosion.
- said initial shaping step consists into a thixoforming, which can be either a thixomoulding or a rheomolding.
- the thixomolding process comprises a first step which consists in fill a mold with thixotropic metallic material in the semi-solid state, and a second step which consists in compacting this material under a high pressure in the mold, for example around 100 MPa.
- said method consists in implementing quenching followed by tempering for said structural hardening step.
- At least one operation of said cold treatment step consists in using for said projectiles corundum grains between 75 and 150 ⁇ m in size.
- At least one operation of said step cold treatment consists in using for said projectiles glass microbeads.
- At least one operation of said step cold treatment consists in using for said projectiles steel shot or cast iron of size between 200 and 800 ⁇ m.
- said initial shaping step consists in shaping a wheel intended for running a vehicle, said wheel comprising a wheel disc and a rim, so that said wheel constitutes said metal part manufactured, and said cold treatment step consists of treating by said impacts of projectiles all or part of at least one face of said disc and / or said rim.
- said initial shaping step consists in shaping a part of a wheel intended for driving a vehicle, said wheel part being consisting of a wheel disc or rim, such that said wheel part constitutes said fabricated metal part, and said cold treatment step consists in treat by said projectile impacts all or part of at least one face of said disc or of said rim.
- a wheel according to the invention intended for running a vehicle which comprises a rim on which is fixed, for example by welding, a metal disc, is such that said disc metallic is obtained by the manufacturing process defined in one of claims previous.
- a method of manufacturing a metal part according to a first embodiment of the invention consists, in a first step 10, in shaping said part by thixomolding of a metallic material having a structure thixotropic and a semi-solid state then, in an optional second step, to be submitted said shaped part to a structural hardening, then, in a third step 30, to be treated at least part of said part by projectile impacts.
- a second embodiment of the method according to the invention consists in implementing a first step 110 identical or similar to the aforementioned step 10, to then implement a second step 120 consisting of a stamping of the part thus fashioned, to then implement a third step 130 optional structural hardening different from said step 20, then to be implemented a fourth step 140 of cold treatment by projectile impacts which is identical or similar to said step 30.
- an aluminum-based alloy is used.
- said alloy is then an alloy belonging to the aluminum / silicon family.
- the metal alloy to be injected has previously been brought into a firstly, to a thixotropic metallographic structure then, secondly, to a semi-solid state.
- said first step is implemented by submitting billets of this alloy to electromagnetic induction stirring, in accordance with method and corresponding device described in European patent document EP-A-439 981, for obtaining thixotropic billets.
- the said billets are then heated by induction at a temperature T (° C) which is such that: T fe ⁇ T ⁇ T fe + 10 , where T fe is the melting temperature of the eutectic (which is equal to 577 ° C for said alloy A-S7G0.6 used preferentially).
- the thixotropy of the alloy injected into the mold is such that the size maximum of the globules which characterize it is less than 120 ⁇ m.
- the molded material is allowed to cool until a solid state is obtained, then immediately proceeds to demoulding. This gives the metal part which is shaped according to the mold imprint.
- step 20 (optional) of this first setting mode work of the process of the invention, one proceeds, preferably immediately after said demoulding, to a structural hardening consisting successively of a quenching of said piece and an income from it. Note that this structural hardening may not be realized.
- said quenching which is carried out by means of a suitable fluid such as water and which lasts a few seconds, said fluid is maintained at a temperature between 30 and 60 ° C, preferably between 30 and 40 ° C.
- temperature and duration of treatment parameters which are used for the structural hardening of a part are suitable for obtaining a couple of resistance / ductility characteristics of given values.

More specifically, the core temperature of the molded part is approximately 450 ° C (between 400 and 500 ° C) during the stamping operation, i.e. during pressing said molded part between the two shells of the die.
- the third step 130 of structural hardening of the molded and stamped part consists, firstly, of a reheating which is intended to put the magnesium of said alloy A-S7G0.6 in solid substitution solution in aluminum then, in a second time, in quenching followed by tempering in the same manner as in step 20 of said first fashion.
- This reheating is carried out for a period of between 1 hour and 10 hours, and at a temperature between 520 ° C and 540 ° C for the above-mentioned solid solution.
- the purpose of quenching in this case is to keep the magnesium in solid solution supersaturated in aluminum, while said income is intended to create a fine precipitation magnesium in aluminum, thus completing the desired structural hardening.
- step 140 of this second mode it is analogous to said step 30 of the first mode, as indicated above.
- a first witness D1 consists of a thixotropic structure disc molded according to the invention, but not having undergone the impact treatment of step 30 or 140.
- a second witness D2 consists of a disc made of a wrought and forged alloy known under the name 6082T6 (European standard NF EN 573-3), that is to say comprising in particular aluminum, magnesium and silicon, this alloy having been put in solid solution, quenched and tempered. As for the first witness, this second witness did not undergone impact treatment.
- the fatigue limit L f (in MPa) has been estimated in rotary bending for a number of cycles equal to 6. 10 6 .
- each disc was determined by taking as the reference thickness e 0 the thickness of an analog reference disc.
- This reference disc consists of an aluminum-based alloy A-S7G0.3 Y33 according to standard NF A / 02-004, and it was obtained by a “shell molding” process, also known under the name of low pressure molding by a person skilled in the art.
- FIG. 3 There is shown in FIG. 3 an example of assembly on a rim 8 of a disc 7 constituting an example of a metal part manufactured by a method of the invention, for obtaining a wheel 9.
- the rim 8 is for example made of a light metal, such as aluminum or magnesium, or an alloy of such a light metal, or any other material known to provide satisfactory lightening and endurance.
- This rim 8 can also be made of iron or an iron-based alloy.
- this assembly is carried out by welding known as designation MIG, i.e. with arc under inert gas, such as argon, and with contribution of metal. It will be noted that this type of welding is favored by the thixotropic structure of the disc 7.
- wheel profiles 9 different from that shown. in Fig. 3.
- a disc profile 7 such as that sold under the name Full Face TM
- a rim profile 8 such as that marketed under the name PAX TM or under the name Single TM, for example.
- the initial shaping step 10, 110 is not limited to the molding of a wheel disc 7 only, but may also relate to the molding of the assembly of a wheel 9 constituted a disc 7 and a rim 8, so that the part finally obtained by said process is constituted by said wheel 9.
- the cold treatment step 30, 140 consists in treating by projectile impacts 2 all or part of at least one face 7a of the disc 7 and / or of the rim 8.
- the step initial shaping 10, 110 could consist of shaping a rim 8 (i.e. one or the other part 7, 8 of a wheel 9) in place of said disc 7, so that the part finally obtained by the process of the invention is constituted by the molded rim 8.
- the cold treatment step 30, 140 consists in treating by projectile impacts 2 all or part of at least one face of said rim 8.
- said face 7a can advantageously be that which is intended to be find the side of the inside of the wheel 9, because of the non-smooth appearance of this treated face 7a.

Abstract
Description
- un large éventail de possibilités pour l'aspect esthétique des disques de roue obtenus (avec par exemple la possibilité d'obtenir des parois minces ou des variations de section importantes),
- une grande précision dimensionnelle pour les disques obtenus, ce qui minimise les opérations d'usinage,
- une productivité élevée en raison des temps de cycle courts et de l'automatisation des tâches, et
- une durée de vie des moules qui est substantiellement augmentée par rapport à celle des moules qui sont utilisés dans des procédés classiques de moulage par injection sous pression de métaux liquides, tels que de l'aluminium.
