Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Beschichten länglicher, metallischer Rohlinge gemäß Gattungsbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a method for coating elongated, metallic blanks according to the generic term of claim 1.

In der Buchreihe "Produktionstechnik heute" (Herausgeber Prof. Dr. Ing. H. J. Warneke) wird im Band 14, Entgraten, Theorie, Verfahren, Anlagen von F. Schäfer auf den Seiten 93 bis 98 das sogenannte Gleitschleifen beschrieben. Eine Vielzahl von in einer drehangetriebenen Trommel einliegenden Rohlinge gleiten während der Rotationsbewegung der Trommel aneinander und an zugegebenen Schleifkörpern ab. Die Art des Aneinanderabgleitens ist abhängig von der Drehzahl. Bei niedrigen Drehzahlen findet ein Aneinanderabgleiten statt. Ab einer bestimmten Drehzahl bricht die Gleitzone in sich zusammen, Werkstücke und dort beschriebene Schleifkörper schlagen aufeinanader. Dies und das Aneinanderabgleiten bewirkt einen Oberflächenabtrag.In the book series "Production Technology Today" (publisher Prof. Dr. Ing. H. J. Warneke) is published in volume 14, Deburring, theory, processes, systems from F. Schäfer on pages 93 to 98 the so-called slide grinding described. A variety of in one rotary Blank inserts slide during the Rotational movement of the drum against each other and added Grinding wheels. The type of sliding together depends on the speed. At low speeds there is sliding against each other. From one at a certain speed, the sliding zone collapses, Workpieces and grinding tools described there hit each other. This and the sliding together causes a surface removal.

Beim gattungsgemäßen Verfahren werden Rohlinge, die mindestens zwei axial hintereinanderliegende Abschnitte unterschiedlichen Querschnitts haben, behandelt. In einem chemischen Galvanikbad werden auf der Oberfläche eines ersten, Kerbtäler oder dergleichen aufweisenden Abschnitts in eine metallische Einfassungsschicht über die Schichtoberfläche ragende Hartstoffteilchen eingebettet. Die exponierten Flächen eines zweiten Abschnittes bleiben weitestgehend hartstoffteilchenfrei. Die exponierten Flächen können die Mantelflächen eines Zylinders sein. Die Zylindergrundfläche kann eine Kreisfläche, eine ovale oder eine hexagonale Fläche sein. Die Querschnittsgrundfläche des die Kerbtäler aufweisenden Abschnittes kann eine zahnförmige oder sternförmige ümrißkontur besitzen. Die Zahn- oder Sternflanken dieses Abschnittes sollen mit einer Hartstoffteilcheneinbettung versehen werden. Die Aufbringung von Hartstoffteilchen zur Verschleißminderung von Werkstücken oder zur Reibkrafterhöhung ist insbesondere bei hoch belasteten Maschinenteilen und auch bei Werkzeugen bekannt. Es ist aber auch bekannt, reibbeanspruchte oder druckbeanspruchte Abschnitte andersartiger metallischer Gegenstände durch derartige Maßnahmen verschleißärmer auszugestalten. Bereiche der Werkstücke, die nicht beschichtet werden sollen, müssen bei bekannten Verfahren mittels Lack oder dergleichen abgedeckt werden. Beispielsweise zeigt die OS 29 20 593 ein Verfahren, wie mittels lokaler Stromzuführung Partikel in eine metallische Fläche eingebracht werden. Aus der PS 28 55 054 ist ein Verfaren bekannt, bei dem die Leitradschaufel einer Turbine mit einer Metallschicht mit eingelagerten Fremdteilchen beschichtet wird. Beschichtungsfrei sind dort lediglich die von einer Einspannvorrichtung abgedeckten Abschnitte der Schaufel.In the generic method, blanks that at least two axially consecutive sections have different cross-sections. In a chemical plating bath will be on the surface a first, notch valleys or the like Section into a metallic bezel layer embedded hard material particles protruding the layer surface. The exposed areas of a second section remain largely free of hard particles. The exposed surfaces can be the lateral surfaces of a Be cylinders. The cylinder base can be a circular area, be an oval or a hexagonal surface. The cross-sectional footprint of the notch valleys Section can be tooth-shaped or star-shaped possess outline contour. The tooth or star flanks of this Section are said to have a hard particle embedding be provided. The application of hard material particles to reduce wear on workpieces or to increase the frictional force is particularly in the case of highly loaded Machine parts and also known for tools. It but is also known to be stressed or stressed by the Caribbean Sections of different metallic objects by means of such measures to make them less wear-resistant. Areas of workpieces that are not coated to be, must be known in known methods Paint or the like can be covered. For example OS 29 20 593 shows a method such as Local power particles in a metallic Area. From PS 28 55 054 is a Known in which the stator blade is a Turbine with a metal layer with embedded foreign particles is coated. There are coating-free only those covered by a jig Sections of the shovel.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine gattungsgemäße Lösung zu finden, um unter Verzicht auf Teilabdeckungen des Werkstückes Beschichtungen herzuführen, insbesondere Diamantbeschichtungen, die über die Teilbereiche des Werkstückes graduell unterschiedlich groß sind.The object of the invention is to provide a generic solution to find to do without partial covers to produce coatings on the workpiece, in particular Diamond coatings over the subareas of the Workpiece are gradually different sizes.

Dies wird dadurch erreicht, daß eine Vielzahl von Rohlinge lose in einer rotierenden Trommel derart in einer Dispersion von in der Galvanikflüssigkeit in der Schwebe gehaltenen Hartstoffteilchen umgewälzt werden, daß durch Aneinanderabgleiten der Rohlinge untereinander an den exponierten Flächen anhaftende Hartstoffteilchen wieder abgetragen werden. This is achieved in that a large number of blanks loose in a rotating drum in such a way Dispersion of in the electroplating liquid in the balance held hard material particles are circulated that by sliding the blanks together hard material particles adhering to the exposed surfaces be removed again.

Die entsprechend vorbehandelten, entfetteten, gespülten und dekapierten Rohlinge werden in größerer Anzahl in die Trommel eingefüllt, deren Wände Öffnungen ausbilden. Diese sind kleiner als die Durchmesser der Rohlinge, so daß diese bestimmungsgemäß in der Trommel verbleiben. Die gefüllte Trommel wird in das Galvanikmedium eingesenkt und rotiert innerhalb desselben um. Innerhalb des Galvanikmediums führt die Trommel die Drehbewegungen aus unter Mitnahme der vorbehandelten Rohlinge. Das Galvanikmedium tritt durch die Öffnungen der Trommel in diese ein und gelangt in Kontakt zur Oberfläche der Rohlinge. Bezüglich des Galvanikmediums handelt es sich um eine in Bewegung gehaltene Dispersion aus Hartstoffteilchen und einer metallischen Komponente. Sowohl die metallische Komponente als auch die Hartstoffteilchen setzen sich an der Oberfläche der Rohlinge ab. Die Trommelbewegung führt dabei dazu, daß die an den exponierten Flächen der Rohlinge anhaftenden Hartstoffteilchen durch gegenseitiges Aneinanderabgleiten der Rohlinge wieder abgetragen werden. Im Bereich der Nuten, welche von den Arbeitsflächen flankiert sind, verbleiben dagegen die Hartstoffteilchen. Es findet dort also kein Abrieb statt, so daß dort die erwünschte Reibkorndichte erzielt wird. Was allgemein beim Gleitschleifen als nachteilig erachtet wird, nämlich das unbearbeitete Nester an den Werkstücken vorliegen, wird beim erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren als Vorteil genutzt. Damit die Hartstoffteilchen in gleicher Dichte in dem Galvanikmedium auftreten und sich nicht absetzen, ist das Rührwerk vorgesehen. Dieses hält die Hartstoffteilchen im Galvanikmedium in Schwebe. Weiterhin ist die Trommel zylinderartig ausgebildet und um ihre in der Horizontalen liegende Drehachse angetrieben. Beispielsweise kann die Trommel eine im Querschnitt mehrkantige Umrißform besitzen, was beim Rotieren der Trommel einer guten Umwälzung der von dieser aufgenommenen Rohlinge entgegenkommt. Es ist dabei möglich, die Trommel etwa bis zur Hälfte mit Rohlingen zu füllen, so daß während eines Beschichtungsprozesses eine große Anzahl von Rohlingen beschichtbar ist. Von Vorteil ist es dabei, daß die rotierende Trommel vollständig in dem Galvanikmedium eingetaucht ist. Die betreffende Galvanikflüssigkeit besitzt eine Nickelkomponente, welche ohne elektrische Spannung sich in Form metallischen Nickels auf der Oberfläche der Rohlinge niederschlägt. Die dabei in der Galvanikflüssigkeit in Schwebe gehaltenen Hartmetallteilchen sind vorzugsweise Diamantkörner, insbesondere in einer Größenordnung von 10 bis 30 µm. Das bedeutet, daß die Diamantkörner teilweise aus der auf den Arbeitsflächen befindlichen Schicht bereichsweise herausragen und beispielsweise eine Anti-Rutsch-Schicht oder eine abriebgeschützte Schicht darstellen. Die Nickelschicht stellt demzufolge die Einfassungsschicht für diese Diamantkörner dar. Je größer die Korngröße der Diamantkörner wird, desto mehr nimmt der "Cam-out-Effekt" ab. Für ein optimales Beschichten der Arbeitsflächen ist es von Vorteil, daß die Bewegung der Trommel mit zwischengeschalteten Pausen erfolgt. Nach einer entsprechend lang bemessenen Drehbewegungsphase der Trommel erfolgt darauf abgestimmt eine Pause, in welcher die Anhaftung der Hartmetallteilchen innerhalb des Galvanikmediums geschieht. Die der Trommel zugegebenen Rohlinge werden vor dem Beschichten entfettet, dekapiert und in einem Keimbildungsbad (Nickelstrike ) behandelt. Die Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens zeichnet sich dadurch aus, daß die Trommel einen Mehrkantquerschnitt besitzt mit von den Trommelstirnwänden ausgehenden Lagerzapfen, von denen einer in Kupplungsverbindung bringbar ist zum Drehantrieb der Trommel. Durch Entnehmen der Trommel aus dem Galvanikbad wird die Kupplungsverbindung zwischen Lagerzapfen und Drehantrieb gelöst, während beim Einsetzen der Trommel die Kupplungsverbindung zwischen diesen Teilen herbeigeführt wird. In den Trommelwänden sind die Öffnungen zum Durchtritt des Galvanikmediums vorgesehen. Dieses befindet sich in der Wanne, welche mit einem Rührwerk ausgestattet ist, um die Hartstoffteilchen in Schwebe im Galvanikmedium zu halten. Die nach dem Verfahren hergestellten Werkstücke sind so beschaffen, daß auch die exponierten Flächen hartstoffteilchenbeschichtet sind mit einer Flächendichte, die um mindestens ein Zehnfaches geringer ist als diejenige im Bereich, der in den Nuten liegt. Es ist also gewährleistet, daß die wesentliche Hartstoffteilchen-Beschichtung nur im bestimmungsgemäßen Bereich erfolgt, also an den die Nuten flankierenden Flächen. In gewisser Hinsicht erfaßt die Gleitschleifabtragung auch einen Teilbereich der Nuten jedoch so, daß die Flächendichte an Hartstoffteilchen zum Nutgrund hin zunimmt. Die zur Wirkung kommenden Flächen werden hierdurch nicht benachteiligt, vielmehr der davon entfernt liegendere Bereich. Eine Einsparung an Hartstoffteilchen wird dadurch erzielt, daß die Flächendichte an Hartstoffteilchen an den Steg-Stirnflächen mindestens zehnmal kleiner ist als diejenige im Bereich des Nutgrundes. Die länglichen Rohlinge können verschiedenartige Gestaltungen aufweisen. Sie können beispielsweise die Größe eines Bleistiftes besitzen. Der die Kerbtäler oder dergleichen aufweisende Abschnitt kann eine sternförmige oder zahnradförmige Querschnittskontur aufweisen. Bei der Behandlung derartiger Rohlinge wird im wesentlichen nur der zahnradförmige oder sternförmige Abschnitt mit der abriebfesten und/oder abrasiven Oberfläche beschichtet. Die exponierten Teile bleiben beschichtungsfrei. Wird das Verfahren an Schraubendrehereinsätzen angewandt, so bleibt der zweite, insbesondere als Sechskantquerschnittsprofil ausgebildete Abschnitt weitesgehend hartstoffteilchenfrei, während der ein Kreuzprofil aufweisende Arbeitsabschnitt eine Flankenbeschichtung erhält. Dabei ist auch von Vorteil, daß man den fertigen Produkten aufgrund der graduell unterschiedlichen Hartstoffteilchendichte auf den verschiedenen Abschnitten das Fertigungsverfahren ansieht. Bei der Beschichtung derartiger Rohlinge wirkt sich die geringfügige Beschichtung der Steg-Stirnflächen und die zunehmende Hartstoffteilchendichte zum Kerbgrund hin günstig auf den "Came-out-Effekt" aus. Derartige, diamantbeschichtete Rohlinge können zur Passivierung der Oberfläche goldbeschichtet sein.The appropriately pretreated, degreased, rinsed and pickled blanks are in large numbers in filled the drum, the walls of which form openings. These are smaller than the diameter of the blanks, so that they remain in the drum as intended. The filled drum is placed in the electroplating medium sunk and rotates within it. The drum carries the inside of the electroplating medium Rotational movements from taking the pretreated Blanks. The electroplating medium passes through the openings the drum into it and comes into contact with Surface of the blanks. Regarding the electroplating medium is a dispersion kept in motion made of hard material particles and a metallic component. Both the metallic component and the Hard material particles settle on the surface of the Blanks off. The drum movement leads to the fact that those adhering to the exposed surfaces of the blanks Hard material particles slide against each other the blanks are removed again. In the area of the grooves flanked by the work surfaces the hard material particles remain. It So there is no abrasion, so that there Desired friction grain density is achieved. What general is considered disadvantageous in vibratory grinding, namely that there are unprocessed nests on the workpieces, is an advantage in the method according to the invention used. So that the hard particles in the same density occur in the electroplating medium and do not settle, the agitator is provided. This holds the hard material particles in suspension in the electroplating medium. Farther the drum is cylindrical and around it in the horizontal axis of rotation driven. For example, the drum can have a cross-section have polygonal outline shape, what when rotating the Drum of a good circulation of the absorbed by it Blanks comes towards. It is possible that Fill the drum about halfway with blanks, see above that during a coating process a big one Number of blanks can be coated. Is an advantage it that the rotating drum completely in the Electroplating medium is immersed. The electroplating liquid in question has a nickel component, which without electrical voltage itself in the form of metallic Nickels on the surface of the blanks. Those kept in suspension in the electroplating liquid Hard metal particles are preferably diamond grains, especially in the order of 10 to 30 µm. This means that the diamond grains are partly from the Area on the work surface protrude and for example an anti-slip layer or represent an abrasion-resistant layer. The nickel layer consequently represents the border layer for these diamond grains. The larger the Grain size of the diamond grains, the more it takes "Cam-out effect". For an optimal coating of the Worktops, it is advantageous that the movement of the Drum with pauses in between. To a correspondingly long rotational movement phase the drum takes a pause, in which the adhesion of the hard metal particles within of the electroplating medium happens. The added to the drum Blanks are degreased before coating, pickled and in a nucleation bath (nickel strike) treated. The device for performing the method is characterized in that the drum one The polygonal cross-section has one of the drum end walls outgoing trunnions, one of which is in coupling connection can be brought to the rotary drive of the drum. By removing the drum from the electroplating bath the coupling connection between the journal and Rotary drive released while inserting the drum the coupling connection between these parts is brought about becomes. The openings in the drum walls are for Passage of the electroplating medium provided. This is located in the tub, which is equipped with an agitator is to levitate the hard material particles in the To hold electroplating medium. The manufactured by the process Workpieces are designed so that the exposed surfaces are coated with hard particles with a surface density that is at least tenfold is less than that in the range in the Grooves. So it is guaranteed that the essential Hard material particle coating only as intended Area takes place, that is, on the flanking the grooves Surfaces. In a sense, the grinding ablation detects but also a portion of the grooves so that the areal density of hard material particles for Groove increases. The effective areas are not thereby disadvantaged, but rather the more distant area. A saving on Hard material particles are achieved in that the areal density on hard material particles on the web end faces is at least ten times smaller than that in the area of the groove base. The elongated blanks can be of various types Have designs. For example, you can the size of a pencil. The the Section having notch valleys or the like a star-shaped or gear-shaped cross-sectional contour exhibit. In the treatment of such blanks is essentially only the gear-shaped or star-shaped Section with the abrasion-resistant and / or abrasive Coated surface. The exposed parts remain coating-free. The procedure on screwdriver bits applied, the second remains especially designed as a hexagonal cross-sectional profile Section largely free of hard particles, while the work section having a cross profile receives a side coating. It is also from Advantage that the finished products due to gradually differing hard particle density the different sections the manufacturing process looks at. It works when coating such blanks the slight coating of the web end faces and the increasing hard material particle density to Notch reason favorably on the "came-out effect". Such diamond-coated blanks can Passivation of the surface must be gold-coated.

Die Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens besitzt eine Wanne 1 mit nach oben weisender Wannenöffnung. Die Wannenstirnwände 2, 3 tragen in den Wanneninnenraum hineinragende Lagerschalen 4 bzw. 5. Sie dienen zur Aufnahme von Lagerzapfen 6 bzw. 7, welche in koaxialer Ausrichtung von den Trommelstirnwänden 8, 9 einer Trommel 10 ausgehen. Das Einsetzen der Trommel 10 geschieht von oben her, wobei die Lagerzapfen 6, 7 von den Lagerschalen 4 bzw. 5 aufgenommen werden. Eine nicht veranschaulichte Sicherung bewirkt, daß die Lagerzapfen 6, 7 in den Lagerschalen 4 bzw. 5 verbleiben.The device for performing the invention Method has a tub 1 with upward Tub opening. The tub end walls 2, 3 bear in the Bearing shells 4 and 5 protruding into the interior of the tub. They serve to accommodate journals 6 and 7, respectively in coaxial alignment from the drum end walls 8, 9 a drum 10 go out. Insertion the drum 10 happens from above, with the bearing pins 6, 7 from the bearing shells 4 and 5, respectively become. An unillustrated backup causes that the journals 6, 7 in the bearing shells 4 and 5 remain.

Die Trommel 10 ihrerseits ist mittels eines Drehantriebes 11 in Umdrehungen versetzbar, wozu der dem Drehantrieb 11 zugekehrte Lagerzapfen 7 in Kupplungsverbindung zum Drehantrieb 11 bringbar ist. Letzterer wird von einer an die Wannenstirnwand 3 angesetzten Haube 12 überfangen. Die zylinderartig ausgestaltete Trommel 10 ist somit um ihre in der Horizontalen liegende Drehachse angetrieben. Die Trommel 10 selbst besitzt einen Mehrkantquerschnitt. Beim Ausführungsbeispiel ist eine Achteckform gewählt. Die Trommelwände 13 weisen Öffnungen 14 zum Durchtritt eines Galvanikmediums 15 auf, welches durch die Öffnungen 14 der Trommel 10 hindurchtritt. Ferner ist die Trommel 10 dabei vollständig in dem Galvanikmedium 15 eingetaucht. Bezüglich derselben handelt es sich um eine in Bewegung gehaltene Dispersion. Hierzu dient ein innerhalb der Wanne 1 untergebrachtes, schematisch veranschaulichtes Rührwerk 16.The drum 10 in turn is by means of a rotary drive 11 rotatable, including the rotary actuator 11 facing journal 7 in coupling connection can be brought to the rotary drive 11. The latter will from a hood 12 attached to the end wall 3 of the tub overlap. The cylinder-like drum 10 is thus about its horizontal axis of rotation driven. The drum 10 itself has one Polygonal cross section. In the embodiment is one Octagonal shape chosen. The drum walls 13 have openings 14 for the passage of an electroplating medium 15, which passes through the openings 14 of the drum 10. Furthermore, the drum 10 is completely in immersed in the electroplating medium 15. Regarding the same is a dispersion kept in motion. For this purpose, a housed within the tub 1, schematically illustrated agitator 16.

Als beispielhaft für die Anwendung des Verfahrens wir die Beschichtung eines Schraubendreherbits angegeben: In der vorbeschriebenen Vorrichtung werden Hartstoffteilchen 17 in einer metallischen Einfassungsschicht 18 auf die Arbeitsflächen F eines mit Nuten 19 und exponierten Flächen versehenen Arbeitsendes 20 eines Schraubendrehereinsatzes 21 aufgebracht derart, daß die Hartstoffteilchen 17 aus der Schichtoberfläche bereichsweise herausragen, vgl. hierzu Fig.3. Das Arbeitsende 20 ist im Querschnitt kreuzartig gestaltet und dient zum Angriff an Kreuzschlitzschrauben. Flankiert sind die Nuten 19 von Stegen 22, welche in Richtung des Schaftes 23 kegelstumpfförmig ansteigen. An den Schaft 23 schließt sich ein Mehrkantabschnitt 24 an, welcher im Querschnitt sechskantförmig gestaltet ist.As an example of the application of the method we the coating of a screwdriver bit specified: In the device described above, hard material particles 17 in a metallic border layer 18 on the work surfaces F one with grooves 19 and exposed Surface-provided working end 20 of a screwdriver bit 21 applied such that the hard particles 17 from the layer surface in some areas protrude, cf. see Fig.3. The end of work 20 is cross-shaped and serves for Attack on Phillips screws. They are flanked Grooves 19 of webs 22, which in the direction of the shaft 23 rise in the shape of a truncated cone. On the shaft 23 is followed by a polygonal section 24, which in Cross-section is designed hexagonal.

Vor dem Aufbringen der Hartstoffteilchen 17 in der metallischen Einfassungsschicht 18 werden die betreffenden Rohlinge einer Vorbehandlung unterzogen. Dies geschieht in der der Wanne 1 entnommenen Trommel 10. In diese werden die Rohlinge eingegeben, bis die deckelverschließbare Trommel 10 etwa bis zur Hälfte mit Rohlingen gefüllt ist. Der Füllstand der Trommel 10 kann dabei zwischen einem Drittel bis zwei Drittel des Trommelvolumens variieren. Es erfolgt dann in speziellen Bädern eine Laugenentfettung, eine elektrolytische Entfettung sowie ein Spülen der Rohlinge. Danach werden die Rohlinge dekapiert, gespült und werden anschließend in einem Keimbildungsbad (Nickelstrike) behandelt. Dadurch erhält der Rohling eine in Fig. 3 veranschauliche Nickelstrikeschicht 25. Danach wird die gefüllte Trommel 10 einer Kaskardenspülung mit Frischwasser ausgesetzt. Ist dies geschehen, erfolgt das Einsetzen der Trommel 10 mit den entsprechend vorbehandelten Rohlingen in die Wanne 1 unter Herstellung der Kupplungsverbindung des Lagerzapfens 7 mit dem Drehantrieb 11. Das die Trommel 10 vollständig aufnehmende L ist eine Galvanikflüssigkeit, welche eine Nickelkomponente besitzt. In dieser sind die Hartstoffteilchen 17 mittels des Rührwerks 16 in Schwebe gehalten. Bezüglich der Hartstoffeilchen 17 handelt es sich um Diamantkörner mit einer Größenordnung von 10 bis 30 µm.
Nach dem Einbringen der Trommel 10 in die Wanne 1 läuft die Trommel 10 mit zwischengeschalteten Pausen um. Das bedeutet, daß nach einer Drehbewegungsphase der Trommel intervallmäßig eine Pause eingeschaltet wird, in welcher die Nickelkomponente der Galvanikflüssigkeit sich mit den Hartstoffteilchen 17 in Form metallischen Nikkels (Einfassungsschicht 18) auf der Oberfläche der Rohlinge niederschlägt. Wird dann nach der Pause die Rotation der Trommel 10 fortgesetzt, werden durch die Trommelbewegung und der dabei umwälzenden Rohlinge die an den exponierten Flächen derselben anhaftenden Hartstoffteilchen 17 durch gegenseitiges Aneinanderabgleiten wieder abgetragen, von welchem Abtragen die Nuten 19 und damit die dort befindlichen Arbeitsflächen F weitgehend ausgenommen sind. Im Laufe eines Zyklusses nimmt dann die Beschichtungsstärke an den Arbeitsflächen F zu. Aus Fig. 1 ist ersichtlich, daß die Flächendichte an Hartstoffteilchen 17 beim fertigbehandelten Schraubendrehereinsatz 21 zum Nutgrund 19' hin zunimmt. Das hat seine Ursache darin, daß in dem größer werdenden Nutquerschnitt benachbarte Rohlinge während des Umwälzens in der Trommel 10 ein geringfügiges Abschleifen bewirken können. Dieser Abtrag in den Nuten 19 erstreckt sich jedoch in der Zone, welche für den Schraubeinsatz ohne Bedeutung ist. Im Bereich des Arbeitsendes 20 sind die betreffenden, in Flächenanlage zur Schraube tretenden Arbeitsflächen F in unverminderter Schichtstärke vorhanden.
Before the hard material particles 17 are applied in the metallic edging layer 18, the blanks in question are subjected to a pretreatment. This takes place in the drum 10 removed from the tub 1. The blanks are inserted into this until the cover-lockable drum 10 is filled up to about half with blanks. The fill level of the drum 10 can vary between one third and two thirds of the drum volume. Lye degreasing, electrolytic degreasing and rinsing of the blanks are then carried out in special baths. The blanks are then picked up, rinsed and then treated in a nucleation bath (nickel strike). As a result, the blank receives a nickel strike layer 25 illustrated in FIG. 3. The filled drum 10 is then subjected to a cascade rinse with fresh water. Once this has been done, the drum 10 with the appropriately pretreated blanks is inserted into the trough 1 to produce the coupling connection of the bearing journal 7 with the rotary drive 11. The L which completely receives the drum 10 is an electroplating liquid which has a nickel component. In this the hard material particles 17 are kept in suspension by means of the agitator 16. The hard particles 17 are diamond grains with a size of 10 to 30 μm.
After introducing the drum 10 into the tub 1, the drum 10 rotates with pauses interposed. This means that after a phase of rotational movement of the drum, a pause is activated at intervals, during which the nickel component of the electroplating liquid is deposited on the surface of the blanks with the hard particles 17 in the form of metallic nickel (border layer 18). If the rotation of the drum 10 is then continued after the pause, the hard material particles 17 adhering to the exposed surfaces of the hard material particles 17 are removed again by mutual sliding, from which removal the grooves 19 and thus the work surfaces F located there are largely removed by the drum movement and the circulating blanks with exception of. The coating thickness on the work surfaces F then increases in the course of a cycle. From Fig. 1 it can be seen that the surface density of hard material particles 17 increases in the finished screwdriver bit 21 towards the groove base 19 '. This is due to the fact that adjacent blanks in the increasing groove cross-section can cause a slight grinding during the circulation in the drum 10. However, this removal in the grooves 19 extends in the zone which is of no importance for the screw insert. In the area of the working end 20, the working surfaces F in question, which come into contact with the surface of the screw, are present in undiminished layer thickness.

Der Fig.1 ist ferner zu entnehmen, daß auch die exponierten Flächen des Einspannendes (Mehrkantabschnitt 24) hartstoffteilchenbeschichtet sind. Die dort vorhandene Flächendichte ist mindestens um ein Zehnfaches geringer als diejenige im Bereich der Nuten 19 des Arbeitsendes 20. Diese geringfügige Flächendichte an Hartstoffteilchen im Bereich des Einspannendes wirkt sich nicht nachteilig auf das Einsetzten des Schraubendrehereinsatzes in eine entsprechende Aufnahme aus. In eingesteckter Stellung in der Aufnahme führt die geringfügige Hartstoffteilchenbeschichtung sogar zu einem verbesserten Sitz des Schraubendrehereinsatzes in der Aufnahme. Ferner veranschaulicht Fig. 1, daß die Flächendichte an Hartstoffteilchen 17 an den Steg-Stirnflächen 22' auch geringer ist als diejenige im Bereich des Nutgrundes. An den Steg-Stirnflächen ist die Flächendichte der Hartstoffteilchen 17 mindestens zehnmal kleiner als diejenige im Bereich des Nutgrundes 19' des Arbeitsendes 20. Diese geringfügige Flächendichte an Hartstoffteilchen 17 an den Steg-Stirnflächen 22' verbessert sogar den Sitz des Arbeitsendes 20 in dem Schlitz einer mitzudrehenden Schraube.Fig. 1 also shows that the exposed Surfaces of the clamping end (polygonal section 24) are coated with hard particles. The one there Areal density is at least ten times less than that in the area of the grooves 19 of the End of work 20. This slight areal density Hard material particles act in the area of the clamping end not adversely affect the insertion of the screwdriver bit in a corresponding recording. In inserted position in the receptacle leads to the minor Hard particle coating even one improved fit of the screwdriver bit in the Admission. Furthermore, Fig. 1 illustrates that the areal density on hard material particles 17 on the web end faces 22 'is also less than that in the area of Groove base. The areal density is at the web end faces the hard material particles 17 at least ten times smaller than that in the area of the groove base 19 'of End of work 20. This slight areal density Hard material particles 17 improved on the web end faces 22 ' even the seat of the working end 20 in the Slot of a screw to be turned.

Nach der entsprechenden Verweildauer der Rohlinge in dem Galvanikmedium 15 unter Erzielung der Beschichtung des Arbeitsendes 20 ist die Trommel aus der Wanne 1 herauszuheben. Es folgt nun ein Spülen mit Frischwasser. Anschließend können die diamantbeschichteten Rohlinge zur Passivierung der Oberfläche in einem Hart-Glanzgoldbad goldbeschichtet werden. Die Goldbeschichtung ist in Fig. 3 mit der Ziffer 26 bezeichnet.After the corresponding dwell time in the electroplating medium 15 to achieve the coating of the working end 20 is the drum from the tub 1 to highlight. This is followed by rinsing with fresh water. The diamond-coated blanks can then be used for passivation of the surface in a hard, shiny gold bath be gold plated. The gold plating is designated by the number 26 in FIG. 3.
