Method for manufacturing a multimaterial component or construction
View Patent ↗A method for manufacturing a multimaterial component or construction, whereby a body is formed in said method of a basic material and at least one piece formed of a wear resistant material being joined to said body at a temperature of not more than 80% of the lowest melting temperature of the materials to be joined. The invention also comprises the use of a multimaterial component or construction manufactured by means of said method.
1. A method for manufacturing a multimaterial component or structure, said method comprising the following steps:
forming a body of a basic material by casting, said body comprising at least one attachment point for at least one piece of wear resistant iron based material;
forming the at least one piece of wear resistant iron based material by casting or power metallurgical method; and
joining the at least one piece of wear resistant iron based material to the at least one attachment point of the body formed of the basic material at a temperature (° C.) which is not more than 80% of the lowest melting point temperature (° C.) of the materials to be joined to form a multimaterial component or structure;
wherein the multimaterial component or structure satisfies the following formula:
A/ 5 +B/ 10>6
where A represents:
Σ (volumetric fraction of the at least one piece of wear resistant iron based material relative to the entire volume of the multimaterial component or structure), and
B represents the weighted average of the HRC hardness of the at least one piece of wear resistant iron based material, where the weighted average is calculated with respect to the volumetric fraction of the at least one piece of wear resistant iron based material in the total volume of wear resistant iron based material.
2. A method in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the body formed of the basic material is manufactured of an iron based alloy (Fe>50%), wherein the portion of the metal carbides in the microstructure is less than 10 volume percent.
3. A method in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the at least one piece of wear resistant iron based material is manufactured of a material having a carbon content of more than 1.9 weight percent, hardness of more than 50 HRC, and the microstructure of an alloy having a portion of more than 10 volume percent of metal carbides with a diameter of more than 3 μm.
4. A method in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the volumetric fraction of the at least one piece of wear resistant iron based material in the multimaterial component or structure to be manufactured is more than 4%.
5. A method in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the volume of the biggest single piece manufactured of the at least one piece of wear resistant iron based material is not more than 25% of the volume of the whole multimaterial component or structure.
6. A method in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the body formed of the basic material and the at least one piece of wear resistant iron based material are joined with each other with an additional material.
7. A method in accordance with claim 6 , wherein the additional material is an adhesive.
8. A method in accordance with claim 6 , wherein the additional material is a metallic or metal based material.
9. A method for reducing the size of rock, building and/or recycling material, the method comprising:
reducing the size of rock, building and/or recycling material by using the multimaterial component or structure manufactured in accordance with claim 1 .
10. A method in accordance with claim 2 , wherein the volumetric fraction of the at least one piece of wear resistant iron based material in the multimaterial component or structure to be manufactured is more than 4%.
