Definitions

  • the invention relates to a lightweight molded body of metal foam consisting of a metal matrix, in which particles are embedded and which encloses a plurality of substantially spherical and / or substantially ellipsoidal cavities.
  • Molded metal foam naturally have a low density and, due to the structure, have special mechanical material properties.
  • such bodies can be given large deformations with upsetting degrees of up to 70% and more when applying two- or three-dimensional compressive stresses.
  • These materials with special properties are in the technological application, for example as an energy absorber in automotive technology and the like, can be used with advantage.
  • Another lightweight metal body according to EP 545 957 B1 and US 5,221,234 a plurality of closed and isolated, generally spherical pores having sizes in the range of 10 to 500 microns. Although such small pores with large differences in diameter can lend a metal body formed with aluminum in comparison with the solid material lower specific gravity, a density of less than 1.0 g / cm 3 and degree of compression of over 60% of the material under defined conditions are usually not achievable ,
  • This object of the invention in particular with regard to a desired material behavior under mechanical stress, is achieved in that the metal foam of the molding has a monomodal distribution of the maximum longitudinal extent of the cavities in the range between 1.0 and 30.0 mm when viewed spatially.
  • the ratio of the maximum longitudinal extents of two different cavities on average at least 20 pairs is less than 45, are largely narrow load ranges, in which a collapse of the foam cavities begins to reach ,
  • the accuracy of the transition from an elastic deformation in a plastic deformation of the material as a function of the compressive stress can be further increased if, viewed spatially of the metal foam, the ratio of the maximum longitudinal extent of two different cavities on average over at least 20 pairs less than 30, preferably less than 15 and in particular less than 5, is. These values refer to created cavities, ignoring solidification voids in the molding.
  • Equally important for a metal foam production and for the behavior of the molded article under mechanical stress is the composition and structure of the liquid metal and that or those of the boundary walls of the cavities.
  • the particles are embedded uniformly distributed in the metal matrix for reinforcement, there is a high and isotropic reinforcement of the base metal with regard to the mechanical stress. It is also advantageous if adjoining cavities are completely separated from one another by the metal matrix. Individual cracks, which can be caused by mechanical stress during cooling, are not effective for compression loads.
  • the metal matrix consists of a light metal, preferably of aluminum or an aluminum alloy.
  • the particles incorporated in the metal matrix have a size of 1 to 50 ⁇ m, preferably 3 to 20 ⁇ m, a particularly advantageous weight / property ratio can be achieved.
  • reinforcement or reinforcement of the base metal for a foaming and solidification of the same or for a structure of kinkungsver prisonen bladder walls have inclusions of non-metallic particles, preferably SiC particles and / or Al 2 O 3 - particles and / or those of intermetallic phases as unexpected proved favorable.
  • the volume fraction of the incorporated particles in the metal matrix is between 10% by volume and 30% by volume, preferably between 15% by volume and 30% by volume.
  • the favorable weight / property ratio of a lightweight molded article of the type according to the invention can be increased if the density of the metal foam is less than 1.05 g / cm 3 , preferably less than 0.7 g / cm 3 , in particular less than 0.3 g / cm 3 , is.
  • a lightweight molded article according to the invention is produced by a method in which a molten metal having a particle formed by introducing gas or gas mixtures into this, at least partially introduced into a mold and its liquid phase is solidified in this and a flowable metal foam with a monomodal distribution of the dimension of the cavities and a proportionately maximum longitudinal extent of the same in the range between 1.0 and 30.0 mm made, placed in a G dematforrn or mold and compacted therein in substantially under all-round pressure, wherein the cavities enclosing particles containing Metal melt boundary walls at least partially planar areas are granted and the solidification heat of the melt is dissipated.
  • the inner body structure is formed such that the material has substantially accurate mechanical characteristics.
  • the monomodal distribution of the dimensions of the cavities in the metal foam provides a prerequisite for a material behavior at certain stress states.
  • the proportional maximum diameter of the cavities is important for the height the elastic limit of the material and the tolerable specific surface load at a Druckthesesbeaufschlagung of the part.
  • a substantially all-sided, optionally low pressure load of the flowable foam is required, resulting in several advantages.
  • the boundary walls and their node areas in the foam material for a mechanical support or buckling load are set or formed low.
  • a cavitation formation in an Al molding according to the invention is shown in each case on the basis of a sectional image.
  • the largest longitudinal extents of cavities in the range between 20 and 12 mm were found in the body of image A, with the proportional maximum extent being 17.2 mm.
  • a compression of the flowable metal foam of only about 3.2% was made, significantly planar area are formed in the cavities enclosing boundary walls.
  • Out Fig. 2 is the dependence of the compression stress of a shaped body of the
  • a monomodal distribution of the largest longitudinal extension of the cavities and an increasing equality of the same affects narrowing the range of dependency.
  • the beginning of the deformation or collapse is an exact material value when the pressure is applied to the same.
  • the behavior of a foam component can be calculated precisely or, for certain functions, the design and construction of the foam part can be defined.
  • the stress as a function of the compression deformation is in Fig. 3 compared with test results of three moldings.
  • the structure of the lightweight moldings 1 and 2 with a density of 0.091 gcm -3 and 0.114 gcm -3 was according to the invention, the comparison body 3 had a bimodal distribution of the dimension of the cavities with material concentrations in the nodes of the foam walls.
  • an extremely low hardening of the same is noted up to a degree of compression of about 70%.
  • the comparison body 3 shows up to a compression ratio of about 45% a significant hardening of the material, which increases even further from this value. This indicates an effect of the bimodal distribution of the cavity dimensions.
  • Fig. 4 shows nodule shapes in the foam wall of lightweight bodies based on sectional images.
  • Figure A shows a sharp-edged node formation of the wall between three cavities. Such knots are prone early to cracks and breaks in the connection area.
  • Picture B shows a thickened wall node. This node formation leads to an increased specific weight and an unfavorable formation of the force components in a compression load of the body.
  • Figure C shows a node with wall parts, where both the thickness of the walls and the node mass with a view to a high compression set with less Solidification of the body are designed low at high compression ratios.
  • Fig. 5 represented formed metal foam body without compression in plan view, wherein the gas was introduced in each case with different separation parameters for the bubbles durach projecting into the melt projecting entry pipes. A monomodal distribution of the respective dimensions of the gas bubbles can be seen.
  • the body has a specific weight of 0.1 gcm -3 according to image A, those according to image B and image C have one of 0.2 gcm -3 and 0.4 gcm -3 .
  • Computer tomography data sets can be used to calculate local density values (density mapping).
  • An averaging process for calculating the local density makes it possible to determine the material distribution between the averaging volumes.
  • Diagrams of the calculated density values of investigations can give information about the homogeneity of a lightweight molded article.
  • the relative frequency of the mean local density in a molded body according to the invention determined by a computed tomography method is designated 1 and can be taken from a comparison body 2.
  • the mean local density of the body 1 has a narrow frequency maximum at about 0.22 gcm -3 , demonstrating a monomodal distribution of the dimension of the cavities and a narrow range of the proportionately maximum longitudinal extent thereof.
  • the multimodal comparison body is characterized by a marked decline of the broad mean local density values.
