Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Waffenrohr mit einer innenseitigen verschleißmindernden Hartchromschicht, die eine Vielzahl von Mikrorissen enthält.The invention relates to a weapon barrel with an inside wear-reducing hard chrome layer, which a variety of Contains micro cracks.
Die beim Abschuß von Munition entstehenden heißen Pulverschwaden führen bei einer ungeschützten Innenwandung des entsprechenden üblicherweise aus Stahl bestehenden Waffenrohres zu abrasiven und erosiven Verschleißerscheinungen. Dieses führt zu Leistungs- und Treffereinbußen der jeweiligen Waffe sowie zu einer vorzeitigen Ermüdungslebensdauer des Waffenrohres.The hot puffs of powder created when ammunition was fired lead with an unprotected inner wall of the corresponding weapon barrel usually made of steel to abrasive and erosive signs of wear. This leads to performance and hit losses of the respective Weapon as well as a premature fatigue life of the Gun barrel.
Aus der DE 41 07 273 A1 ist es bekannt, bei großkalibrigen Waffenrohren zur Verringerung des erosiven Rohrverschleisses auf die Innenwandung des jeweiligen Waffenrohres eine Hartchromschicht aufzubringen. Allerdings hat sich gezeigt, daß die durch den Schuß bedingte hohe Thermoschockbelastung nach und nach ein Abplatzen der Chromschicht bewirken kann, so daß das Waffenrohr an den entstehenden Chromausbrüchen nicht mehr vor den heißen Pulvergasen geschützt ist und es wiederum zu Erosionen kommt.From DE 41 07 273 A1 it is known for large-caliber Gun tubes to reduce erosive tube wear a hard chrome layer on the inside wall of the respective gun barrel to apply. However, it has been shown that the high thermal shock load caused by the shot and can cause the chrome layer to flake off, so that the gun barrel on the emerging chrome breakouts is no longer protected from the hot powder gases and it again erosion occurs.
Da die Chromausbrüche auf bei der Verchromung entstehenden Mikrorisse zurückzuführen sind, wird in der DE 41 07 273 A1 vorgeschlagen, die Chromausbrüche dadurch zu verhindern, daß die im Oberflächenbereich der Chromschicht vorhandenen Mikrorisse mit einem Werkstoff hoher Gleitfähigkeit, z.B. Polytetrafluorethyl, gefüllt werden.Because the chrome outbreaks arise on the chrome plating Microcracks are attributable to DE 41 07 273 A1 proposed to prevent the chrome outbreaks by the microcracks present in the surface area of the chrome layer with a material with high lubricity, e.g. Polytetrafluoroethyl, be filled.
Nachteilig ist bei diesen bekannten Waffenrohren unter anderem, daß ihre Herstellung verhältnismäßig aufwendig ist. Außerdem können die im Inneren der Chromschicht befindlichen Mikrorisse nicht mit der Gleitschicht gefüllt werden, so daß diese ihre die Chromausbrüche induzierende Wirkung behalten.A disadvantage of these known gun tubes is other that their production is relatively expensive. In addition, those located inside the chrome layer Micro cracks should not be filled with the sliding layer, so that these retain their chrome-inducing effects.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Waffenrohr anzugeben, dessen Hartchromschicht eine gegenüber herkömmlichen Hartchromschichten verbesserte Thermoschockbeständigkeit aufweist, ohne daß hierzu die Mikrorisse durch eine Schicht hoher Gleitfähigkeit ausgefüllt werden müssen.The present invention is based on the object Specify gun barrel, its hard chrome layer opposite one conventional hard chrome layers improved thermal shock resistance has without this through the microcracks a layer of high lubricity must be filled.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung offenbaren die Unteransprüche.This object is solved by the features of claim 1. Disclose further advantageous refinements of the invention the subclaims.
Im wesentlichen liegt der Erfindung der Gedanke zugrunde, die Anzahl der Mikrorisse in der Hartchromschicht gegenüber Waffenrohren mit herkömmlichen Hartchromschichten zu erhöhen, wobei in der Querschnittsfläche der jeweiligen Hartchromschicht mindestens 500 Risse/cm bzw. auf der Oberfläche der Beschichtung mindestens 150 Risse/cm vorhanden sind. Die Tatsache, daß eine Erhöhung der Rißzahl innerhalb der Hartchromschicht zu einer Verbesserung der Thermoschockbeständigkeit des Waffenrohres führt, ist überraschend. Denn da die Mikrorisse bei bekannten Watten Auslöser für das Abplatzen der Chromschicht sind, liegt es zunächst nahe, die Anzahl der Mikrorisse möglichst klein zu halten. Zwar wird in der vorstehend erwähnten DE 41 07 273 A1 ebenfalls vorgeschlagen, die Anzahl der Mikrorisse nach dem Aufbringen der Chromschicht zu erhöhen, doch sollen die zusätzlich eingebrachten Mikrorisse im Bereich der Oberfläche der Chromschicht eingebracht werden und dienen lediglich zur Haftverbesserung der aufgebrachten Gleitschicht.Essentially, the invention is based on the idea that Number of micro cracks in the hard chrome layer compared to gun barrels with conventional hard chrome layers, being in the cross-sectional area of the respective hard chrome layer at least 500 cracks / cm or on the surface of the Coating at least 150 cracks / cm are present. The fact that an increase in the number of cracks within the Hard chrome layer to improve thermal shock resistance of the gun barrel is surprising. Because there the micro cracks in known wadding triggers for chipping the number of chromium layers, it is obvious at first to keep the micro cracks as small as possible. Although in the DE 41 07 273 A1 mentioned above also proposed the number of microcracks after the chrome layer was applied to increase, but the additional contributions should Microcracks are introduced in the area of the surface of the chrome layer are and only serve to improve the detention of the applied sliding layer.
Die durch die Rißzahlerhöhung in überraschender Weise bewirkte verbesserte Thermoschockbeständigkeit des Hartchroms läßt sich folgendermaßen erklären: Beim Schuß unterliegt die sehr spröde Chromschicht hohen Belastungen, die zu entsprechend hohen thermisch induzierten Dehnungen und Spannungen führen. Sobald die Dehnungen den durch die Chromschicht elastisch aufnehmbaren Anteil überschreiten, werden sie über die vorhandenen und zusätzlich entstehenden Risse (Dehnfugen) aufgenommen. Bei den herkömmlichen Chromschichten, bei denen die im Querschnitt gemessene Rißzahl etwa zwischen 200 und 400 Risse/cm -bzw. die auf der Oberfläche der Beschichtung gezählte Rißzahl etwa zwischen 40 und 70 Risse/cm- liegt, müssen die Risse einen relativ hohen Dehnungsanteil bei einen derartigen Thermoschock übernehmen, so daß sie zu relativ großen Rissen zusammenwachsen, die dann ihrerseits für die Chromausbrüche verantwortlich sind.The surprisingly caused by the increase in the crack number improved thermal shock resistance of hard chrome can be explained as follows: The shot is subject to very brittle chrome layer high loads that lead to accordingly high thermally induced strains and stresses to lead. Once the strains become elastic due to the chrome layer exceed the recordable share, they will be via the existing and additional cracks (expansion joints) added. With the conventional chrome layers, where the number of cracks measured in cross section is approximately between 200 and 400 cracks / cm or that on the surface of the coating counted number of cracks is between 40 and 70 cracks / cm-, the cracks have a relatively high amount of elongation at one take such thermal shock so that they are too relative large cracks grow together, which in turn for the Chromium breakouts are responsible.
Die Erfindung schlägt nun vor, durch Vergrößerung der Rißzahl den auf den einzelnen Riß bezogenen Dehnungsanteil zu minimieren (Pseudoduktilität), so daß ein Zusammenwachsen größerer für Chromausbrüche verantwortlicher Risse nicht mehr entstehen können.The invention now proposes by increasing the number of cracks to minimize the amount of elongation related to the individual crack (Pseudo-productility), so that a growing together larger Cracks responsible for chrome breakouts no longer can arise.
Hinsichtlich der unterschiedlichen Rißzahlen auf der Oberfläche und im Querschnitt der Hartchromschicht ist auf folgendes hinzuweisen: Grundsätzlich gibt es keine Vorzugsrichtung der Chromrißhäufigkeit. Die Risse entstehen bei der galvanischen Abscheidung des Chroms durch hohe Zugeigenspannungen, die abscheidungsbedingt sind. Bei Erreichen einer gewissen Mindestschichtdicke (ca. 5 µm) reißt die Chromschicht von der Chromschichtoberfläche her ein und löst einen großen Anteil der Eigenspannungen aus. Bei der weiteren Abscheidung überwachsen die entstehenden Risse mit Chrom, der dann ebenfalls nach Erreichen einer gewissen Schichtdicke einreißt usw. Dadurch entsteht ein Labyrinthverschluß. Wenn anschließend die Anzahl der Risse nicht auf der Oberfläche der Beschichtung, sondern im Querschnitt der Hartchromschicht gezählt wird, werden mehr Risse pro Wegstrecke gezählt. Dieses ist verständlich, wenn man sich vergegenwärtigt, daß die Risse in der Chromschicht von der Oberfläche her initiiert werden.With regard to the different number of cracks on the surface and the cross section of the hard chrome layer is as follows Please note: There is basically no preferred direction of the Chrome cracking frequency. The cracks arise in the galvanic Deposition of the chrome by high tensile residual stresses, which are due to the deposition are. When a certain minimum layer thickness is reached (approx. 5 µm) the chrome layer tears from the chrome layer surface forth and solves a large proportion of the Residual stresses. Overgrown during further separation the resulting cracks with chrome, which then also after reaching tears a certain layer thickness, etc. a labyrinth lock is created. Then if the number the cracks not on the surface of the coating, but is counted in the cross section of the hard chrome layer, more Cracks counted per distance. This is understandable, though one realizes that the cracks in the chrome layer be initiated from the surface.
Die erfindungsgemäßen Waffenrohre weisen außer der verbesserten Thermoschockbeständigkeit den Vorteil auf, daß gegenüber bekannten verchromten Waffenrohren Chromschichten mit größerer Wandstärke auf das Waffenrohr aufgebracht werden können, die einen besseren Schutz des Rohrwerkstoffes ermöglichen. Außerdem sind die Chromschichten der erfindungsgemäßen Waffenrohre unempfindlicher gegenüber mechanischen Belastungen (z.B. bei Geschoßkontakt) und daher auch vorteilhaft in Maschinenwaffen einsetzbar.The gun barrels according to the invention have in addition to the improved Thermal shock resistance has the advantage over that well-known chrome-plated gun barrels with chrome layers greater wall thickness can be applied to the gun barrel can, which allow better protection of the pipe material. In addition, the chrome layers of the invention Gun barrels less sensitive to mechanical Loads (e.g. with floor contact) and therefore also advantageous can be used in machine guns.
Die Beeinflussung der Rißhäufigkeit kann durch die Zusammensetzung des Verchromungselektrolyten, der Verchromungstemperatur und der Art der Stromführung beim Verchromen des Waffenrohres erfolgen, wobei die optimalen Parameter für den jeweiligen Anwendungsfall durch Versuche ermittelt werden müssen.The composition can influence the frequency of cracks of the chromium plating electrolyte, the chromium plating temperature and the type of current supply when the gun barrel is chrome-plated take place, the optimal parameters for the respective application can be determined by tests have to.
