Abstract

The invention relates to the field of materials science and to high-strength planar structures for the protection of vehicles and people. The aim of the invention is to provide high-strength planar structures which are characterized in that the planar structure is only destroyed in the immediate vicinity of an impact. This aim is achieved by a high-strength planar structure that consists of individual elements that give, applied to a backing material, the high-strength planar structure. The individual elements have the shape of regular pyramids and tetrahedrons or irregular pentahedrons and/or hexahedrons and/or the individual elements consist of combined and interlinked shapes (compound shapes) of regular pyramids and tetrahedrons or irregular pentahedrons and/or hexahedrons. The aim is also achieved by a method which is characterized in that individual elements and/or shapes (compound shapes) combined from such individual elements and interlinked are combined to give a planar structure and are non-positively linked with a backing material at least on one side.

Description

Anwendungsgebiet der ErfindungField of application of the invention

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf die Gebiete der Werkstoffwissenschaften, der Keramik, der Materialien für Schutzpanzerungen und für Verschleißbeanspruchungen und betrifft hochfeste Flächengebilde für endballistischen Schutz, beispielsweise für den Schutz von Fahrzeugen und Personen, und für Verschleißschutz, beispielsweise für den Einsatz in Brechern, Mühlen, Förderrinnen und Rohren und ein Verfahren zu ihrer Herstellung.The invention relates to the fields of materials sciences, ceramics, protective armor materials and wear and tear, and relates to high-strength endoplates for end-ballistic protection, for example for the protection of vehicles and persons, and for wear protection, for example for use in crushers, mills, Troughs and pipes and a method for their production.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Zur Sicherung von Personen, Fahrzeugen und Einrichtungen im militärischen und auch im zivilen Bereich wird eine Konstruktion zur Sicherung des entsprechenden Objektes nach der jeweils spezifischen Bedrohung ausgelegt. Die Überlebensfähigkeit derartig geschützter Objekte kann durch den Einsatz von Schutzpanzerungen aus geschossfestem Material erhöht werden. Da die Rückhaltefähigkeit derartiger Schutzpanzerungen im Wesentlichen von der Oberflächenhärte der Schutzflächen der Panzerungselemente abhängt, wurden bisher in erster Linie Spezialstähle mit hoher Härte und entsprechend abgestimmter Zähigkeit, aber auch keramische Werkstoffe eingesetzt.For the protection of persons, vehicles and facilities in the military as well as in the civilian area, a construction to secure the corresponding object is designed according to the specific threat. The survivability of such protected objects can be increased by the use of bullet proof material made of bulletproof material. Since the retention capacity of such protective armor depends essentially on the surface hardness of the protective surfaces of the armor elements, special steels with high hardness and correspondingly matched toughness, but also ceramic materials have been used in the first place.

Aus der DE 198 56 597 A1 , DE 34 26 457 C1 und aus US 6,332,390 sind ballistische Schutzpanzerungen bekannt, welche aus einem Backing-Material und darauf aufgebrachten Kacheln bestehen. Bei diesen geschossfesten Plattenmaterialien handelt es sich um geschosshemmende Flächengebilde mit einem textilen Laminat (Backing-Material), auf das Platten aus Keramik formschlüssig zueinander aufgeklebt sind. Dieser Werkstoffverbund soll, bei möglichst geringem Gewicht, Schüsse, insbesondere von Hartkerngeschossen mit hohen Geschwindigkeiten und damit hoher Auftreffenergie, unwirksam machen. Die durch das Geschoss eingebrachte Energie an der Einschussstelle wird im westlichen durch die Zerstörung der betroffenen Kachel abgebaut.From the DE 198 56 597 A1 . DE 34 26 457 C1 and from US 6,332,390 Ballistic protective armor known, which consist of a backing material and applied tiles. These bullet-resistant sheet materials are bullet-resistant sheet-like structures with a textile laminate (backing material) onto which ceramic boards are adhesively bonded to one another in a form-fitting manner. This material composite should, with the lowest possible weight, make shots, especially of hard core projectiles with high speeds and thus high impact energy, ineffective. The introduced by the projectile Energy at the bullet point is dissipated in the west by the destruction of the affected tile.

Wenn in vielen Fällen Stahl trotz des hohen Gewichtes für die Panzerung gegen Geschosse Anwendung findet, so im wesentlichen deshalb, weil durch die Härte und Elastizität des Stahls nur geringfügige Schädigungen am Panzermaterial auftreten, so dass folgende Treffer im Abstand von nur wenigen Millimetern zum vorherigen Treffer wiederum gehalten werden können.If in many cases steel despite the high weight for the armor against projectiles application, so essentially because only slight damage to the armor material occur by the hardness and elasticity of the steel, so that the following hits at a distance of only a few millimeters to the previous hit can be kept in turn.

Bei keramischen Werkstoffen ist dies jedoch völlig anders. Hier ist es zwar möglich, den ersten Treffer durch eine dünnere Schutzschicht von sehr geringem Gewicht im Vergleich zu Stahl zu halten, jedoch zerstört jeder Treffer im keramischen Material eine relativ große Fläche, so dass der nächste Treffer mit Sicherheit nur dann gehalten werden kann, wenn er auf ein vom zuerst getroffenen Keramikstück unabhängiges, d.h. separat aufgebrachtes Keramikstück auftrifft. Die Tatsache führt dazu, dass Keramikelemente, insbesondere Einzelkacheln verwendet werden müssen, um bei einem geringen Geschossabstand die Schutzwirkung nicht zu verlieren. Die Abstimmung der Plattengröße erfolgt deshalb meist nach dem möglichen Trefferabstand, was kleinere Kachelabmessungen zur Folge hat. Dadurch ergibt sich ein weiteres Problem, nämlich, wie die Kachelanordnung beschaffen sein muss, damit die zwangsläufig vorhandenen engen Spalte zwischen den Kacheln als Schwachstellen der Gesamtschutzschicht möglichst geschützt werden können.For ceramic materials, however, this is completely different. Here, while it is possible to hold the first hit by a thinner protective layer of very light weight compared to steel, however, every hit in the ceramic material destroys a relatively large area so that the next hit can certainly only be held if he insists on a ceramic piece of the first hit, ie separately applied ceramic piece impinges. The fact is that ceramic elements, in particular individual tiles have to be used in order not to lose the protective effect at a small projectile distance. The tuning of the plate size is therefore usually after the possible hit distance, which has smaller tile dimensions result. This results in another problem, namely, how the tile arrangement must be designed so that the inevitable existing narrow gaps between the tiles as weak points of the total protective layer can be protected as possible.

Bei der Mosaikanordnung von keramischen Kacheln ist es deshalb allein wegen des Kantenproblems trotz einer bekannten Anordnung nach Art eines Verbundmauerwerkes ( DE 34 26 457 C1 ) immer noch notwendig, eine höhere Dicke und damit ein höheres Gewicht zu verwenden. Dadurch kann das Problem der Schwachstelle bei den Kanten verringert werden, jedoch eine völlig gleiche Halteleistung bezüglich der Schutzwirkungen der Kacheln an den Kanten wird nicht erreicht.In the mosaic arrangement of ceramic tiles, it is therefore only because of the edge problem despite a known arrangement in the manner of a composite masonry ( DE 34 26 457 C1 ) still necessary to use a higher thickness and thus a higher weight. As a result, the problem of the edge weakness can be reduced, but a completely equal holding performance with respect to the protective effects of the tiles at the edges is not achieved.

Auch im Bereich des Verschleißschutzes ergeben sich Einsatzgebiete für Schutzpanzerungen, wie z.B. gegen Prallbeanspruchung oder Gleitverschleiß. Hohem Verschleiß ausgesetzte Platten oder Formstücke in Kanälen, Behältern, Sichtern, heißgehenden Zyklonen, Mühlen oder Brechern zeigen besonders starke Abrasionserscheinungen an den Kanten der sich berührenden Kacheln. Die Standfestigkeit der Verschleißpanzerung hängt demnach vorrangig von der Kantenstabilität ab, was eine höhere Dichte der Auskleidung zur Folge hat.Also in the field of wear protection there are areas of application for protective armor, such as against impact stress or sliding wear. High wear plates or fittings in channels, containers, Screeners, hot cyclones, mills or crushers show particularly strong abrasion phenomena at the edges of the touching tiles. The stability of the wear armor depends therefore primarily on the edge stability, which has a higher density of the lining result.

Weiterhin ist in der EP 0 967 453 A1 , welche eine Grundlage für die unabhängigen Ansprüche 1 und 16 bildet, ein flexibles, aufprall- oder stoss-resistentes Compositmaterial beschrieben, welches eine Stossseite aufweist, die aufprallresistent ist und die aneinander grenzenden Platten eine vollständig stumpfe Kante aufweist. Weiterhin besteht dieses Compositmaterial aus einem flexiblen Material, welches mindestens aus einer Schicht besteht, welches eine hohe Widerstandskraft gegen lokale Deformationen aufweist und nichtballistische Eigenschaften hat. Und schließlich sind auf der Stossseite die Platten in das flexible Material eingebunden. Die Platten können eine vielfältige dreidimensionale Form, wie beispielsweise zylindrische, pyramidale, pyramidenstumpfartige oder winkelartige Formen, aufweisen.Furthermore, in the EP 0 967 453 A1 , which forms a basis for independent claims 1 and 16, describes a flexible, impact or impact resistant composite material which has a shock side which is impact resistant and the adjacent plates have a completely blunt edge. Furthermore, this composite material consists of a flexible material, which consists of at least one layer, which has a high resistance to local deformation and has non-ballistic properties. And finally, the plates are integrated into the flexible material on the impact side. The plates may have a variety of three-dimensional shape, such as cylindrical, pyramidal, truncated pyramidal or angular shapes.

Die Ebenheit der Flächen zur Ober- und Unterseite richtet sich im Wesentlichen nach dem Anwendungsfall, der auch gebogene und/oder gewölbte Oberflächen erfordern kann.The flatness of the surfaces to the top and bottom depends essentially on the application, which may also require curved and / or curved surfaces.

Vorteilhafterweise bestehen die Einzelkörper und/oder die daraus zusammengesetzten Verbundkörper ganz oder teilweise aus keramischen und/oder metallischen Materialien, und besonders vorteilhafterweise aus keramischen Materialien, wie SiC, Si3N4, Al2O3, aus metallischen Materialien, wie Hartmetalle, höherfestem Stahl, wie V2A-Stahl, ST 52-3 oder aus Keramik-Metall-Verbundwerkstoffen.Advantageously, the individual bodies and / or the composites composed thereof consist wholly or partly of ceramic and / or metallic materials, and particularly advantageously of ceramic materials, such as SiC, Si 3 N 4 , Al 2 O 3 , of metallic materials such as hard metals, higher strength Steel, such as V2A steel, ST 52-3 or ceramic-metal composites.

Weiterhin vorteilhafterweise besteht ein Formenverbund aus 5 Pyramiden und 4 Tetraedern, der mehrfach wiederholt und jeweils als Formenverbund abwechselnd umgekehrt zusammengesetzt, das Flächengebilde ergibt.Further advantageously, there is a composite of 5 pyramids and 4 tetrahedra, which is repeated several times and alternately assembled alternately as a composite mold, the sheet results.

Ebenfalls vorteilhafterweise ist die Verbindung der Einzelkörper durch Verkleben, Verschweißen, Löten oder durch Klammern realisiert.Also advantageously, the connection of the individual bodies by gluing, welding, soldering or by brackets is realized.

Es ist auch von Vorteil, wenn die Einzelkörper des Flächengebildes jeweils nur eine Verbindung zum Backing-Material und/oder zu einem anderen flächigen Material aufweisen und dann umgekehrt zusammengesetzt ein vollständiges Flächengebilde ergeben. Besonders vorteilhaft ist in diesem Fall, wenn die Berührungsflächen der einzelnen Einzelkörper zueinander kraftschlüssig miteinander verbunden sind.It is also advantageous if the individual bodies of the fabric have only one connection to the backing material and / or to another sheetlike material and then, conversely, to yield a complete fabric together.

Beim erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren zur Herstellung von hochfesten Flächengebilden für endballistischen Schutz und Verschleißschutz werden

  • Einzelkörper in Form von regelmäßigen Pyramiden und Tetraedern oder unregelmäßigen Pentaedern und/oder Hexaedern
    oder
  • Einzelkörper als Formenverbund aus zusammengesetzten und miteinander verbundenen Formen regelmäßiger Pyramiden und Tetraeder oder unregelmäßiger Pentaeder und/oder Hexaeder
zu einem Flächengebilde zusammengesetzt,
wobei das Flächengebilde jeweils im Wesentlichen ebene Flächen auf der Ober- und Unterseite und außer den Spalten zwischen den Einzelkörpern keine weiteren Fehlstellen aufweist und mindestens auf einer Seite mit einem Backing-Material kraftschlüssig verbunden und/oder ganz oder teilweise von einem Backing-Material umgeben wird.In the process according to the invention for producing high-strength fabrics for end ballistic protection and wear protection
  • Single bodies in the form of regular pyramids and tetrahedrons or irregular pentahedrons and / or hexahedra
    or
  • Single body as a composite of composite and interconnected forms of regular pyramids and tetrahedra or irregular pentahedron and / or hexahedron
assembled into a sheet,
wherein the fabric in each case substantially flat surfaces on the top and bottom and except for the gaps between the individual bodies has no further defects and non-positively connected at least on one side with a backing material and / or is completely or partially surrounded by a backing material ,

Von Vorteil ist es, wenn dabei die kraftschlüssige Verbindung der Einzelkörper und/oder daraus zusammengesetzte Formenverbunde mit dem Backing-Material und/oder mit einem anderen flächigen Material durch Kleben, Löten, Pressen, Schweißen realisiert wird.It is advantageous if in this case the non-positive connection of the individual bodies and / or composite molds composed therefrom with the backing material and / or with another planar material is achieved by gluing, soldering, pressing, welding.

Ebenfalls von Vorteil ist es, wenn aus 5 Pyramiden und 4 Tetraedern ein Formenverbund hergestellt wird, der beliebig oft wiederholt und jeweils abwechselnd umgekehrt zusammengesetzt wird, und damit zum Backing-Material und/oder zur Auftreffseite hin jeweils eine ebene und/oder gebogene und/oder gewölbte Oberfläche ausbilden.It is also of advantage if from 5 pyramids and 4 tetrahedra a mold compound is produced, which is repeated as often and alternately reversed assembled, and thus to the backing material and / or the landing side in each case a flat and / or curved and / or forming a curved surface.

Mit der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung ist es möglich, eine verbesserte Panzerung zum endballistischen Schutz und/oder zum Verschleißschutz zu erreichen, derenWith the solution according to the invention it is possible to achieve an improved armor for end ballistic protection and / or wear protection, the

Zerstörung durch Geschosseinwirkung oder Verschleiß nur im unmittelbaren Umfeld des Geschosskalibers oder der Verschleißeinwirkung auftritt und somit eine verbesserte Beständigkeit gegen Mehrfachbeschuss oder Dauerbeanspruchung durch Verschleiß aufweist. Dies gelingt erfindungsgemäß durch die Verkleinerung der Einzelkörper, was einerseits den Nachteil einer hohen Anzahl an Flächen gegenüber der Geschoss- oder Verschleißeinwirkung aufweist, erfindungsgemäß aber trotzdem eine verbesserte geschosshemmende oder verschleißhemmende Wirkung erreicht. Dieser Vorteil wird erreicht, indem die Schwachstellen einer derartigen Verbundfläche, die nach dem Stand der Technik bestanden, verringert und/oder nicht mehr unmittelbar in Einwirkungsrichtung der Geschosse oder des Verschleißes angeordnet worden sind.
Dieser Vorteil trifft auch für den Bereich des Verschleißschutzes zu, bei dem in erster Linie eine Prallbeanspruchung der Panzerung vorliegt.
Destruction by projectile action or wear occurs only in the immediate vicinity of the projectile caliber or the wear and thus has an improved resistance to multiple impact or permanent wear due to wear. This is achieved according to the invention by reducing the size of the individual bodies, which on the one hand has the disadvantage of a high number of surfaces with respect to the projectile or wear effect, but nevertheless achieves an improved bullet-resistant or wear-inhibiting effect. This advantage is achieved by reducing the weaknesses of such a composite surface, which existed in the prior art, and / or were no longer arranged directly in the direction of impact of the projectiles or the wear.
This advantage also applies to the field of wear protection, in which there is primarily an impact stress of the armor.

Durch die erfindungsgemäße Lösung wird neben der verbesserten Anpassbarkeit des Flächengebildes an unregelmäßige Formen auch eine Verringerung des spezifischen Gewichtes erreicht, ohne die Schutzwirkung zu verschlechtern; im Gegenteil, es wird sogar in vielen Fällen eine verbesserte Schutzwirkung erreicht. Mit der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung wird die kritische Kantenstabilität und Kantenhärte des Flächengebildes auf die Halteleistung zum Backing-Material und ggf. eines weiteren flächigen Materials und der Härte des Materials des Flächengebildes jeweils ganz oder teilweise reduziert.As a result of the solution according to the invention, in addition to the improved adaptability of the fabric to irregular shapes, a reduction in the specific weight is achieved without impairing the protective effect; on the contrary, an improved protective effect is achieved even in many cases. With the solution according to the invention, the critical edge stability and edge hardness of the fabric on the holding power to the backing material and possibly a further sheet material and the hardness of the material of the fabric is in each case completely or partially reduced.

Unter der im Rahmen dieser Erfindung verwendeten Bezeichnung "Backing-Material" wird ein Material verstanden, auf das Einzelkörper und/oder ein oder mehrere Formenverbunde befestigt werden oder das die Einzelkörper und/oder ein oder mehrere Formenverbunde ganz oder teilweise umgibt. Im Falle des endballistischen Schutzes handelt es sich bei dem Backing-Material vorteilhafterweise um Fasergewebe-Formkörper und im Falle des Verschleißschutzes vorteilhafterweise um Metalle, beispielsweise in Form von Blechen. Die Verwendung von Metallblechen als Backing-Material für den endbaflistischen Schutz, als auch die Verwendung von Fasergewebe-Formkörpern als Backing-Material im Verschleißschutz ist ebenfalls denkbar.The term "backing material" used in the context of this invention is understood to mean a material to which individual bodies and / or one or more mold composites are attached or which completely or partially surrounds the individual bodies and / or one or more mold composites. In the case of end ballistic protection, the backing material is advantageously fiber fabric molded body and in the case of wear protection advantageously metal, for example in the form of sheets. The use of metal sheets as backing material for Endbaflistischen protection, as well as the use of fiber fabric moldings as backing material in wear protection is also conceivable.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend an mehreren Ausführungsbeispielen näher erläutert.The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to several exemplary embodiments.

Beispiel 1example 1

Aus keramischen Platten aus flüssigphasengesintertem Siliciumcarbid werden mittels Trennschleifen 400 unregelmäßige Pentaeder mit den Abmessungen 30 x 20 x 20 mm (jeweils größte L x B x H) hergestellt. Die Form entspricht der Kombination aus einer regelmäßigen Pyramide und einem Tetraeder, die so verbunden sind, dass eine Keilform entsteht, wobei zwei Seiten die Fläche eines Parallelogramms ergeben, zwei Flächen die Form eines gleichschenkligen Dreiecks ergeben und die Grundfläche ein Quadrat ist.
Diese Pentaeder werden so zusammengesetzt, dass gegenüber dem Backing-Material, welches ein Aramid(faser)-Formkörper mit den Abmessungen 400 x 400 mm ist, und der Außenseite des zukünftigen Flächengebildes jeweils ebene Oberflächen entstehen. Die zusammengesetzten 400 Pentaeder bedecken mit ihrer ebenen Flächengebildeseite zum Backing-Material das gesamte Backing-Material. Diese Flächengebildeseite wird mit dem Backing-Material durch Kleben mit einem Zweikomponenten-Kunstharzkleber kraftschlüssig verbunden.
Ein derart hergestelltes Flächengebilde wird in eine Schutzpanzerung für ein Militärfahrzeug eingearbeitet.
Bei einer senkrechten Geschosseinwirkung eines Hartkerngeschosses von 12,7 mm Kaliber werden je Geschoss maximal 6 Pentaeder, üblicherweise aber nur 2 bis 4 Pentaeder, jeweils nur in unmittelbarer Umgebung der Einschussstelle zerstört. Aufgrund der Überdeckung der Panzerplatten bleibt, im Gegensatz zu herkömmlichen keramischen Schutzpanzerungen, die Schutzwirkung unmittelbar neben der Einschussstelle erhalten. Die maximal zerstörte Fläche beträgt 40 x 40 mm, üblicherweise aber nur 20 x 40 mm.
Im Vergleich dazu werden bei einer herkömmlichen Plattenanordnung von Platten einer Größe von 75 x 75 x 20 mm in Form eines Mauerwerkes maximal eine Fläche von 150 x 150 mm, üblicherweise 75 x 75 mm zerstört.
Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung wird der Schuss auch gehalten, wenn das Geschoss auf die Kanten der sich berührenden Pentaeder trifft.
Dagegen wird bei der herkömmlichen Plattenanordnung der Schuss nicht gehalten, wenn das Geschoss auf die sich berührenden Plattenkanten trifft. Daher ist bei der herkömmlichen Anordnung eine höhere Plattendicke von mindestens 30 mm erforderlich, um den Schuss zuverlässig zu halten, was in einer 33 %-igen Gewichtserhöhung resultiert.
From ceramic plates made of liquid-phase-sintered silicon carbide 400 irregular pentahedra with the dimensions 30 x 20 x 20 mm (each largest L x W x H) are prepared by means of cutting loops. The shape corresponds to the combination of a regular pyramid and a tetrahedron connected to form a wedge shape, two sides giving the area of a parallelogram, two areas giving the shape of an isosceles triangle and the base area being a square.
These pentahedra are assembled in such a way that flat surfaces are created in each case in relation to the backing material, which is an aramid (fibrous) shaped article with dimensions of 400 × 400 mm, and the outside of the future sheet. The composite 400 pentahedron cover the entire backing material with their flat sheet side to the backing material. This sheet structure side is frictionally connected to the backing material by gluing with a two-component synthetic resin adhesive.
A fabric produced in this way is incorporated into a protective armor for a military vehicle.
In a vertical projectile action of a hard core bullet of 12.7 mm caliber per bullet maximum of 6 pentahedra, but usually only 2 to 4 pentahedra, each destroyed only in the immediate vicinity of the bullet point. Due to the covering of the armor plates, in contrast to conventional ceramic protective armor, the protective effect is maintained immediately adjacent to the bullet point. The maximum destroyed area is 40 x 40 mm, but usually only 20 x 40 mm.
By comparison, in a conventional plate assembly of 75 x 75 x 20 mm boards in the form of masonry, a maximum area of 150 x 150 mm, typically 75 x 75 mm, is destroyed.
In the solution according to the invention, the shot is also held when the bullet hits the edges of the touching pentahedron.
In contrast, in the conventional plate assembly, the weft is not held when the projectile meets the contacting plate edges. Therefore, at the conventional assembly, a higher plate thickness of at least 30 mm is required to hold the shot reliably, resulting in a 33% increase in weight.

Beispiel 2Example 2

Ein stranggegossener hochfester Stahl (ST 52-3) mit einem dreieckigen Querschnitt wird durch schräges Abschneiden des Stranges zu Pyramiden mit einer Grundfläche von 40 x 40 mm und einer Höhe von 40 mm verarbeitet. Aus einem ebensolchen Stahlstrang und nachfolgendem schrägen Schneiden werden Tetraeder mit einer Länge der sich jeweils rechtwinklig gegenüberliegenden Kanten von 40 mm und einer Höhe von 40 mm hergestellt. Dabei werden 200 Pyramiden mit jeweils einem Tetraeder bereits durch Verlöten mit einem Weichlot kraftschlüssig zu einem Formenverbund miteinander verbunden. Die Pyramiden und Tetraeder als Formenverbund werden jeweils zu 200 Stück in einem Rahmen zu einem ebenen Flächengebilde angeordnet. Die dem Backing-Material zugewandte Seite wird mit dem Backing-Material aus einem Stahlblech der Qualität ST37 der Abmessungen 400 x 400 mm mit einem Weichlot und entsprechendem Flussmittel miteinander verbunden.
Ein derart hergestelltes Flächengebilde wird als Schutzpanzerung für die Prallplatte eines Hammerbrechers eingearbeitet.
Bei der Abrasionsbeanspruchung an der Prallplatte werden die sich berührenden Kanten der Panzerplatten stärker erodiert als die Platten selbst.
Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung verläuft die Teilung aufgrund der Anordnung der Tetraeder und Pyramiden schräg zur Beanspruchungsrichtung, wodurch sich eine verringerte Abrasion an den sich berührenden Kanten ergibt, was eine um die 1½ - fache längere Einsatzdauer zur Folge hat. Aufgrund der Lötverbindung sind eine Auswechslung der Schutzplatten und eine Wiederverwendung der Sicherungseinrichtung möglich.
A continuously cast high-strength steel (ST 52-3) with a triangular cross section is processed by obliquely cutting the strand into pyramids with a footprint of 40 x 40 mm and a height of 40 mm. From such a steel strand and subsequent oblique cutting tetrahedrons are produced with a length of each right-angled edges of 40 mm and a height of 40 mm. In this case, 200 pyramids, each with a tetrahedron already by soldering with a soft solder frictionally connected to form a composite. The pyramids and tetrahedra as a composite mold are each arranged in 200 pieces in a frame to a flat sheet. The side facing the backing material is connected to the backing material made of a steel sheet of quality ST37 measuring 400 x 400 mm with a soft solder and appropriate flux.
Such a fabric produced is incorporated as a protective armor for the baffle plate of a hammer crusher.
During the abrasion stress on the impact plate, the touching edges of the armor plates are more eroded than the plates themselves.
In the solution according to the invention, the pitch runs obliquely to the stress direction due to the arrangement of the tetrahedra and pyramids, which results in a reduced abrasion at the contacting edges, resulting in a use time that is longer by 1½ times. Due to the solder joint replacement of the protective plates and a reuse of the safety device are possible.
