Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of molding an amorphous alloy that is excellent in quality and has a high degree of shape freedom, and to a molded object produced by the molding method.
  • the present invention relates to a molding method capable of processing metallic glass while keeping a supercooled state in a casting mold, and to a molded article, such as a rotor of a uniaxial eccentric screw pump, produced by the molding method.
  • metallic glass that is a kind of an amorphous alloy has specific mechanical property that is not inherent in general metals. Specifically, the metallic glass has a low Young' s modulus (flexibility) while keeping the mechanical strength due to its high strength and high hardness. Therefore, the metallic glass has been expected to be utilized for various materials, and the application thereof to a bar-shaped member having a small diameter, such as a rotor of a uniaxial eccentric screw pump described later, has been expected.
  • a method of molding an amorphous alloy involves casting a melt into a water-cooled mold.
  • Patent Literature 1 JP 2002-224249 A
  • an alloy material of an amorphous alloy member is melted by heating with a high-frequency induction heating coil, and the melt is cast into a water-cooled casting mold and quenched in the mold.
  • Patent Literature 1 merely involves pouring the melt into the casting mold, thereby causing the following problems. Specifically, surrounding atmospheric gas is liable to be drawn in, the melt is solidified due to quenching before the drawn-in gas and occluded gas that has occluded the surrounding atmospheric gas during melting are released, and those gases are confined in metallic glass to form pores having various sizes.
  • the pores refer to void parts such as micropores present in a material for the metallic glass and cause significant decrease in mechanical strength of the material in a cast molded object.
  • Patent Literature 2 JP 2006-175508 A discloses a method of molding an amorphous alloy, which involves melting an amorphous alloy, pouring the melt into a casting mold, pressurizing the melt in the casting mold by pressing, and quenching the melt.
  • This molding method has the following advantage. Specifically, the melt in the casting mold is pressurized by pressing and quenched, and hence gas in the melt that causes pores is forcibly discharged to reduce inner pores.
  • the method of molding an amorphous alloy of Patent Literature 2 has the following drawback. Specifically, the method adopts the steps of pouring the melt into the casting mold, pressurizing the melt to eliminate the pores, and quenching the melt. Thus, the melt is annealed and crystallized while being poured into the casting mold when a small molded article is produced, with the result that an amorphous alloy is not formed in some cases. Accordingly, the shape and size of an article to be molded depend on the material for and the amount of the melt, and a molded article has a small degree of work freedom.
  • the present invention has been made so as to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is an obj ect of the present invention to provide a method of molding an amorphous alloy, which has a high degree of work freedom regardless of components of an amorphous alloy, in particular, metallic glass and of the shape of an article to be molded, and is capable of producing a molded article having less pores, and to provide a molded object produced by the molding method.
  • a method of molding an amorphous alloy including: a melting step of melting an alloy; a differential-pressure casting step of injecting a melt of the alloy into a casting mold positioned below the melt and evacuating the casting mold; and a processing step of processing the melt by pressurizing a casting metal in the casting mold under a high-temperature state while keeping the melt in a supercooled state.
  • the melt when the amorphous alloy is molded, the melt is filled into a small casting mold rapidly by evacuating the casting mold while the melt is poured into the casting mold, and pores and the like formed in this case are reduced by pressurizing the melt.
  • the melt can be filled into the casting mold sufficiently in a temperature region falling within a temperature range (supercooling temperature range) that corresponds to an intermediate temperature lower than a crystallization temperature of the metal and higher than a glass transitiontemperatureofthe metal.
  • a molded article required to have a small shape or a larger longitudinal length ratio, or to have high fluidity in the melt in the casting mold can be provided with less pores.
  • the "amorphous alloy” as used herein is preferably metallic glass.
  • the metallic glass is a kind of an amorphous alloy and is a metal in which glass transition can be observed clearly.
  • the metallic glass is processed in a state of a supercooled fluid. That is, the metallic glass is processed in a time region in which the formation of a crystal phase does not occur even when the metal temperature decreases, and thereafter, the metallic glass is strongly pressurized with the temperature being kept in the casting mold while the fluidity of the metallic glass ismonitored. Withthis, a metallic glass molded article having a shape without defects in which pores are crushed can be produced in a bulk shape. Accordingly, the effect of mass productivity of molded articles can be expected by optimizing the conditions of the processing step, and cost can be reduced.
  • the casting metal is heated in the processing step by causing a high-frequency current to flow through a coil provided on a periphery of the casting mold.
  • the casting metal is heated, for example, by causing the high-frequency current to flow through the coil wound around the periphery of the casting mold to conduct heat from the outside to the inside of the casting mold (high-frequency induction heating) .
  • This method is advantageous in that the temperature of the melt can be controlled by regulating a coil current, and the temperature can be controlled easily in accordance with a change in the melt and the external atmosphere.
  • the casting metal may be heated by irradiating the casting mold with infrared light or may be heated through use of radiation heat obtained by irradiating the casting mold with infrared light.
  • melt is pressurized in the processing step by pressurizing the melt with gas through a hole formed in the casting mold.
  • the melt can be pressurized uniformly without preparing a mechanical pressurizing device separately as long as gas inflow means to an inlet hole and an output hole of the casting mold, for pressurizing the melt with gas, and air tightness are ensured.
  • melt is pressurized in the processing step by pressurizing the melt with an actuator through a hole formed in the casting mold.
  • a molded article produced by the above-mentioned method of molding an amorphous alloy can be produced in a bulk shape even from the metallic glass with high accuracy.
  • a minute rotor of a uniaxial eccentric screw pump having a shape with a larger longitudinal length ratio can be produced with high mechanical strength and repetition fatigue strength simply by optimizing heating and processing conditions.
  • shaping can be performed while the pores and the like are reduced by pressurizing the melt and the supercooled state is kept in the casting mold, and hence a molded article of an amorphous alloy having various shapes, sizes, and components can be provided easily.
  • an amorphous alloy in particular, metallic glass to be molded in a method of molding an amorphous alloy of the present invention is described.
  • General metals and alloys have a crystal structure in which atoms are arranged periodically. When melted by heating, the metals and alloys become a liquid to have a structure in which the atoms are packed densely at random.

  • an outer circumferential surface 132 of the rotor 130 and the inner circumferential surface 124 of the stator 120 are brought into close contact with each other at the respective tangents, and a fluid conveyance path 140 is formed between the inner circumferential surface 124 of the stator 120 and the outer circumferential surface of the rotor 130.
  • the fluid conveyance path 140 serves as a multi-stage (d-stage) flow path with a length that is d times as large as the reference length S of the lead in the axial direction of the stator 120 and the rotor 130, assuming that the reference length S is the length L of the lead of the stator 120 and the rotor 130 described above. Further, the fluid conveyance path 140 extends in a spiral shape in the longitudinal direction of the stator 120 and the rotor 130.
  • the fluid conveyance path 140 proceeds in the longitudinal direction of the stator 120 while rotating in the stator 120 when the rotor 130 is rotated in the through-hole 122 of the stator 120. Therefore, when the rotor 130 is rotated, a fluid can be conveyed sucked into the fluid conveyance path 140 from one end side of the stator 120, and the fluid can be conveyed to the other end side of the stator 120 while being confined in the fluid conveyance path 140 to be ejected on the other end side of the stator 120.
  • the pump 110 of this embodiment is capable of pumping the fluid sucked through the opening 114b to eject the fluid through the needle 114a, when the rotor 130 is rotated in a forward direction.
  • the power transmission mechanism 150 is provided so as to transmit power from a power source (not shown), such as a motor provided outside of the casing 112, to the rotor 130 described above.
  • the power transmission mechanism 150 includes a power transmission portion 152 and an eccentric rotation portion 154.
  • the power transmission portion 152 is provided on one end side in the longitudinal direction of the casing 112, more specifically, on an opposite side of the nozzle 112a described above (hereinafter also referred to simply as "base end side").
  • the power transmission portion 152 includes a drive shaft, and is connected to a driving machine 165 formed of a servo motor and a speed reducer through the drive shaft.
  • the drive shaft can be rotated by operating the driving machine 165.
  • the eccentric rotation portion 154 is a portion for connecting the drive shaft and the rotor 130 to each other so that power can be transmitted.
  • the eccentric rotation portion 154 includes a coupling shaft 162 and two coupling bodies 164, 166.
  • the coupling shaft 163 is formed of a coupling rod, a screw rod, or the like, which are publicly known in the related art.
  • the coupling body 164 couples the coupling shaft 162 and the rotor 130 to each other, and the coupling body 166 couples the coupling shaft 162 and a drive shaft 156 to each other.
  • the coupling bodies 164, 166 are each formed of a universal joint, which is publicly known in the related art and are capable of transmitting a rotation force, which is transmitted through the drive shaft, to the rotor 130 to eccentrically rotate the rotor 130.
