Abstract

The wear resistance of plastics worm extruders having a cylinder and worm shaft consisting basically of steel with a prescribed toughness and hardness is enhanced by facing with TiN and/or TiC. Both the cylinder and the worm shaft are provided with the facing, at least in opposing areas, the contours being preserved on and between opposing areas within clearance tolerances of between 0.15 and 1% of the nominal diameter. The substrate prior to facing has a surface roughness of 2 to 4 mu m and a relative load- carrying area of between 40 and 80% at a depth of 0.25 mu m. The facing may consist of a primary facing of TiN and a secondary facing of TiC, the thickness of the primary facing being about one third of the total facing thickness. The facing may be applied by chemical vapour deposition or physical vapour deposition techniques.

Description

SPECIFICATION Facing cylinders and worms in plastics worm extruders to enhance wear resistance This invention relates to plastics worm extruders having cylinders and worm shafts consisting basically of steel, and is concerned with means for enhancing the wear resistance of such plastics worm extruders by facing with titanium nitride (TiN) and/or titanium carbide (TiC). Both the cylinders and the worms can consist of one or more sections.
The method of facing with TiN and/or TiC for enhanced wear resistance is known (Bild der Wissenschaft, 1984, p. 28). It is chiefly applied to tool components such as deep-drawing punches and dies, cutting tools, milling cutters, punches or hard-metal toolbits and for injection moulds. It relies on the fact that it eliminates or very greatly reduces the incidence of phenomena which would otherwise damage the tools, such as edge build-up, cold welding, cold wear and cracking in the cutting edges of the tools. The facings are applied by chemical vapour deposition or physical vapour deposition.
The method of enhancing the wear resistance of tooling by facing with the aforementioned materials has also been proposed (as a practical measure) for application to the cylinders and the worm lands on worms for plastics worm extruders. In this connection, the facings have been applied either to the cylinders or to the worm lands in various areas where wear phenomena have been observed on the cylinders and worm lands respectively. The results have not been satisfactory. The durability of the work-and-cylinder unit and thus the useful life of the extruder as a whole has not been adequately extended by these means. Consequently, other means are adopted in practice for prolonging the life of the worms and cylinders in plastics worm extruders.More specifically, surface hardening means such as nitriding are adopted, or the cylidners are lined with sleeves made from special metals, more particularly hard metals. It is also known to adopt so-called bimetal cylinders, which are contrifugally lined with a suitable material.
The object of the invention is to improve substantially the durability of a plastics worm extruder, and hence the useful life of the entire machine.
According to the present invention, a method of enhancing the wear resistance of plastics worm extruders by the facing with TiN and/or TiC of a cylinder and a worm shaft consisting basically of steel with a surface layer hardness when ready for use of 40 to 70 HRC, in conformity width DIN 50103; is characterised in that both the cylinder and the worm shaft are provided with the facing, at least in opposing areas (or over their entire length), the contours are preserved on and between opposing faced areas within clearance tolerances of between 0.15 and 1% of the nominal diameter, and prior to facing the substrate has a surface roughness of 2 to 4 m and at a depth of 0.25 zm a relative load-carrying area, as defined in DIN 4765, of between 40 and 80%, preferably about 60%.The basic idea of the invention consists in that, within the scope of the means employed by the invention, both the cylinder and the worm, or at least the worm lands, are faced over opposing areas, more particularly areas where wear would occur in the absence of any facing. This does not exclude the facing of other areas, not necesarily opposing areas.
The cylinder and the worm shaft are preferably surface hardened, or are through hardened.
However, the two alternatives can be combined, using for example a worm shaft in the through hardened condition and a cylinder in the surface hardened condition-or vice versa. If surface hardening alone is adopted, the depth of hardening should be between 0.3 and 3 mm. The facing layer should have a thickness of 2 to 10 /zm, preferably about 6 m. It preferably consists of a primary facing of TiN and a secondary facing of TiC, the thickness of the primary facing being about one third of the total facing thickness. The facing can be applied with the aid of a chemical vapour deposition technique, using a through hardened substrate, which will subsequently require repeated through hardening.However, the facing can alternatively be applied with the aid of a physical vapour deposition technique, and in this case if a through hardened substrate is used it will not require repeated hardening after facing.
The accruing advantages are to be seen in that a surprising improvement is obtained in the durability and hence the useful life of the entire plastics worm extruder. Compared with otherwise identical combitations of materials, the durability or useful life is improved by more than 25% by providing the facing as such. The machine can continue to operate after the facing has worn off, because the through hardened basic components remain usable for a longer period.
The basic materials for worm shafts and cylinders can be the alloy steels already in common use. Particularly good results are obtained with the materials identified by the numbers in the following table: 1.2379~DIN 17 350 1.7225~DIN 1654/17200 1.7707~DIN 17220 1.2344~DIN 17350 1.8550~DIN 17211 1.8515~DIN 17211 1.7735~''Steels Key" (1983), p. 389, Verlag Stahlschlussel Wegst The cylinder can alternatively consist of a main body and an inserted liner; in this case, the various requirements relate to the liner.
