Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a wear-resistant copper-base alloy.
  • the present invention can be applied, for instance, to a copper-base alloy constituting sliding portions of sliding members, typically exemplified by valve train members such as valve seats and valves of an internal combustion engine.
  • wear-resistant copper-base alloys are beryllium-added copper alloys, copper-nickel-silicon alloys known as Corson alloys, and dispersion-strengthened alloys in which hard oxide particles such as SiO 2 , Cr 2 O 3 and BeO particles are dispersed in copper-base matrixes. These alloys, however, have a problem of adhesion and do not always possess sufficient wear resistance.
  • the present applicants have developed a wear-resistant copper-base alloy containing zinc and/or tin, which are more easily oxidized than copper.
  • This copper-base alloy has upgraded in adhesion resistance because of generation of oxides of zinc and/or tin, and accordingly has improved in wear resistance.
  • zinc and tin have considerably lower melting points than that of copper, this alloy is not always satisfactory.
  • a weld bead layer of the abovementioned copper-base alloy is formed by using such a high-density energy heat source as a laser beam, zinc and/or tin tend to evaporate during the cladding operation and it is not easy to maintain target concentrations of alloying elements.
  • wear-resistant copper-base alloys having composition comprising, by weight, 10.0 to 30.0% nickel, 0.5 to 5.0% silicon, 2.0 to 15.0% iron, 1.0 to 10.0% chromium, 2.0 to 15.0% cobalt, 2.0 to 15.0 % one or more of molybdenum, tungsten, niobium and vanadium.
  • These alloys are mainly composed of hard particles including silicide of Co—Mo, and a Cu—Ni based matrix.
  • These wear-resistant copper-base alloys secure their wear resistance primarily by the hard particles including silicide of Co—Mo, while these wear-resistant copper-base alloys secure crack resistance primarily by the Cu—Ni based matrix. These alloys attain high wear resistance even when used under severe conditions. Moreover, since neither zinc nor tin is used as a positive element, even if these alloys are clad, there are little inconveniences caused by evaporation of alloying elements and fumes generate in a smaller amount. Consequently, these alloys are especially suitable as alloys for forming weld bead layers by using a high-density energy heat source such as a laser beam.
  • the alloys according to Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 08-225,868 and Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. 07-017,978 exhibit excellent wear resistance even when used under severe conditions. Particularly in an oxidizing atmosphere or in the air these alloys exhibit excellent wear resistance because an oxide exhibiting favorable solid lubrication generates.
  • the hard particles including silicide of Co—Mo and the Cu—Ni based matrix have contradicting characteristics to each other and in order to improve wear resistance, it is necessary to increase the area ratio of hard particles.
  • silicide of Co—Mo is so hard and brittle that when the composition of these alloys is controlled to increase the area ratio of the hard particles, the wear-resistant copper-base alloys deteriorate in terms of crack resistance. Especially when these wear-resistant copper-base alloys are built up, the weld bead sometimes cracks and the yield rate deteriorates in the building up operation. In contrast, when the composition of these alloys is controlled to decrease the area ratio of the hard particles in the wear-resistant copper-base alloys, these wear-resistant copper-base alloys deteriorate in terms of wear resistance.
  • the present invention has been developed in view of the abovementioned circumstances. It is an object of the present invention to provide a wear-resistant copper-base alloy, which is advantageous in not only enhancing wear resistance in a high temperature range but also enhancing crack resistance and machinability, which is particularly suitable to be used for forming a weld bead layer, and which has good wear resistance, crack resistance and machinability in a balanced manner.
  • silicide of Co—Mo which is the principal component of hard particles, is hard and brittle (generally about Hv1200). Then the present inventors have tried to reduce or delete hard and brittle silicide of Co—Mo and to increase the ratio of silicide of Fe—Mo, silicide of Fe—W, or silicide of Fe—V, which have lower hardness and slightly higher toughness than those of silicide of Co—Mo.
  • the present inventors have developed a wear-resistant copper-base alloy according to a first invention which can not only enhance wear resistance in a high temperature range but also enhance crack resistance and machinability by allowing Co and Ni contained but reducing the Co content and the Ni content, and by increasing the Fe content and/or the Mo content.
  • the present inventors have further tried to refine the hard particles by making the wear-resistant copper-base alloy according to the first invention contain niobium carbide (NbC) and have developed a wear-resistant copper-base alloy according to a second invention which can enhance wear resistance in a high temperature range, crack resistance and machinability.

It is to be noted that % means % by weight in this specification, unless otherwise noted.
  • the wear-resistant copper-base alloy according to the present invention is advantageous in not only enhancing wear resistance in a high temperature range but also enhancing crack resistance and machinability, and accordingly can satisfy requirements for wear resistance, crack resistance and machinability in a balanced manner. Especially when used for cladding, this alloy can satisfy requirements for wear resistance, cladding operability, crack resistance and machinability in a balanced manner.

  • Chromium serves similar functions to those of iron and cobalt, hardly dissolves in a solid copper-base matrix, and forms an alloy together with part of nickel and part of cobalt so as to enhance oxidation resistance. Moreover, chromium exists in a hard phase and increases a liquid phase separation tendency in a molten state. Below the lower limit of the abovementioned content, the abovementioned effects cannot be obtained sufficiently. Above the upper limit of the abovementioned content, coarseness of the hard phase sharply increases and aggressiveness against a mating material increases.
