摘要:
Some variations provide a process for additive manufacturing of a nanofunctionalized metal alloy, comprising: providing a nanofunctionalized metal precursor containing metals and grain-refining nanoparticles; exposing a first amount of the nanofunctionalized metal precursor to an energy source for melting the precursor, thereby generating a first melt layer; solidifying the first melt layer, thereby generating a first solid layer; and repeating many times to generate a plurality of solid layers in an additive-manufacturing build direction. The additively manufactured, nanofunctionalized metal alloy has a microstructure with equiaxed grains. Other variations provide an additively manufactured, nanofunctionalized metal alloy comprising metals selected from aluminum, iron, nickel, copper, titanium, magnesium, zinc, silicon, lithium, silver, chromium, manganese, vanadium, bismuth, gallium, or lead; and grain-refining nanoparticles selected from zirconium, tantalum, niobium, titanium, or oxides, nitrides, hydrides, carbides, or borides thereof, wherein the additively manufactured, nanofunctionalized metal alloy has a microstructure with equiaxed grains.

The invention relates to a wear-resistant coating used for bearing surfaces and flanks of piston rings in internal combustion engines. The wear-resistant inventive coating is obtained by mechanically alloying powders which form a metallic matrix with hard material dispersoids and lubricant material dispersoids. The coating is then thermally applied to the workpieces, especially by means of high velocity oxygen fuel spraying (HVOF). The workpieces coated are bearing surfaces and parts of flanks pertaining to piston rings in internal combustion engines.

To provide piston rings which are ductile, can be heavily thermally loaded, and are not attacked by corrosive residues occurring upon combustion of residual oil or other sulfur-containing heavy Diesel oils, a powder mixture is sintered in an isostatic hot-pressure sintering process in which a hard metal and a soft filler material are combined; in accordance with one embodiment, the base is a hard metal using nickel or cobalt-based alloys present in 40-80% by weight, the remainder filler which, for example, is unrefined or galvanically coated graphite; in a second embodiment, the base is a soft material such as a high-copper content bronze, and the filler is a nickel or cobalt-based alloy, with the base metal being present in 60-80%, the filler being the remainder (all percentages by weight). Isostatic hot compression results in piston rings which can operate, under emergency conditions, without, or with only insufficient lubrication, have high strength, resistance to attack by corrosive substances, and have sufficient ductility for simple assembly and long wear.

A designing and manufacturing method for powder injection molding a piston ring comprises the following steps: (a) designing an elliptical equation of the piston ring according to the technical requirements of the piston ring product and providing the free opening gap size; (b) conducting engineering analysis on structural strength, stress-strain, and friction and wear by means of a computer; (c) designing and selecting a powder material, designing a proportion ratio of powder and adhesive, and manufacturing a feeding material for injection by means of mixing and granulating; (d) designing and manufacturing an injection mold for the elliptical piston ring; (e) manufacturing a three-dimensional elliptical piston ring blank by injecting, degreasing, sintering and post-processing; (f) cutting an opening; and (g) inspecting translucency, elasticity and size of the product, then packaging and delivering or warehousing. The present designing and manufacturing method employs the technique of powder injection molding and computer-aided design and engineering analysis, designs and selects powder materials, and designs a proportion ratio of powder and adhesive; due to feeding particles being uniform, the piston ring structure is more uniform, and has improvements over the traditional casting process with more design freedom.
