Making Brakes fit for Euro 7 - Brake Disc coating with Cold Spray Technology

Emissionen von Bremsabnutzung, wie Bremsstaub und Feinstaub, geben der Automobilindustrie zunehmend Anlass zur Sorge und stellen angesichts immer strengerer und umweltpolitischer Vorschriften ein Problem dar. Grauguss mit eingebettetem Graphit ist der gängigste Werkstoff, aus dem Bremsscheiben hergestellt werden. Grauguss-Bremsscheiben sind nicht nur günstig in der Herstellung, sie verfügen auch über alle notwendigen mechanischen Eigenschaften, die benötigt werden. Da für KFZ-Bremsscheiben aus Kostensicht noch kein Werkstoff mit Grauguss konkurrieren kann, stellt die Beschichtung von Grauguss-Bremsscheiben eine praktikable und kostengünstige Lösung dar. Herkömmliche thermische Beschichtungsverfahren sind jedoch noch sehr material- und kostenintensiv und die geforderten Eigenschaften hinsichtlich Schichthaftung, Korrosionsbeständigkeit und Rissverhalten können noch nicht erfüllt werden. Im Gegensatz zum Laserauftragschweißen gibt es für das Coldspray-Verfahren keinen Patentschutz eines großen Automobilherstellers. Mehr Infos unter: https://impact-innovations.com/anwendungsbeispiele/kaltgasgespritzte-bremsscheib/ --- Brake wear emissions, encompassing brake dust and particulate matter, have emerged as a mounting concern for the automotive industry in light of stricter environmental regulations set by the EU. Brake discs predominantly originate from gray cast iron infused with embedded graphite. These gray cast iron brake discs not only offer cost-effective manufacturing but also encompass the essential mechanical attributes required. While no other material currently matches the cost efficiency of gray cast iron for vehicle brake discs, coating such discs provides a practical and budget-friendly solution. However, traditional thermal coating methods remain costly in terms of both materials and expenses, and they are unable to consistently meet the required criteria for coating adhesion, corrosion resistance, and resistance to cracking. In contrast, the cold spray process, unlike laser cladding, is unencumbered by patent restrictions from any major automotive manufacturer.

Impact Innovations - Cold Spray Process

In comparison to conventional thermal spray processes, cold gas spraying offers special advantages, because the spraying material is neither fused nor melted during the process. Thus, the thermal influence on the coating and the substrate material is minimized. The high kinetic energy of the particles and the high degree of deformation during the impact on the substrate that is connected with it, allows the manufacturing of homogenous and very dense coatings. The range of coating thicknesses varies from just a few hundredths of a millimeter up to several centimeters. There are mainly metallic coatings produced, which physical and chemical properties barely differ from the properties of the base material. With the latest system technology of Impact Innovations GmbH a process gas - preferably nitrogen or helium - is put into a spray gun with a pressure of up to 50 bar (725 psi) and is heated up to a maximum temperature of 1100 °C (2012 °F) in the gun housing. The subsequent expansion of the heated and high pressurized gas in a convergent-divergent nozzle down to ambient pressure results in the acceleration of the process gas up to supersonic speed and, at the same time, in the cooling down of the gas to a temperature below 100 °C (373 °F). The spray powders are injected in the convergent section of the nozzle by using a powder feeding unit and carrier gas and are accelerated to a particle speed of up to 1200 m/s in the main gas stream. In the highly focused spray jet particles impinge the - in most cases untreated - surface of the component, deform the particles and form a strongly adhesive/cohesive and low-oxide coating.

High-performance cold gas coating for brake discs

Brake discs are a critical component of an automotive braking system transforming kinetic energy into thermal energy during braking, which raises the temperature of the disc friction surfaces. Brake wear emissions, such as brake dust and particulate matter, are a growing source of concern for the automotive industry. They contribute considerably to rising pollution levels and represent a problem in the face of more demanding stringent and environmental regulations. Gray cast iron is the commonly used material for brake discs due to its low manufacturing costs and durability. Poor corrosion resistance and excessive wear of the brake disc during operation are the main problem areas. Since no material can compete with gray cast iron for vehicle brake disks from a cost perspective, the coating of gray cast iron disks is a practicable and inexpensive solution.

Cold Spray Additive Manufacturing (CSAM) of launcher propulsion system components

In cooperation with Airborne Engineering Ltd, Impact Innovations developed a feasible CSAM process to manufacture launcher system components with outstanding mechanical properties, large dimensions, and specific geometrical complexity. The Cold Spray Additive Manufacturing process has great potential as an innovative process for additive manufacturing. The demonstrated process has a fast production rate and minimum dimensional limitation leading to high component flexibility. Furthermore, the Cold Spray Additive Manufacturing process is also suitable for various metals, alloys, and their combinations due to the simple dissimilar material joining. The high deposition rates make the process cost-effective and suitable to manufacture large components in a reasonable time frame. CSAM is also a potential technique considered for adding structural parts, such as manifolds or jackets to a conventionally machined or even SLM fabricated liners.

Additive Manufacturing - Orthogrid with Cold Spray

An orthogrid is a type of isogrid which uses rectangular instead of triangular openings. They are used to reinforce highly loaded components which are mostly applied in the aerospace industry. Orthogrids are cut out of one large piece of metal which causes a high loss of material. However, it is possible to additively manufacture orthogrids without wasting valuable material by using the Impact Spray Sytem. During the process, an Al alloy is sprayed onto the part in a horizontally and vertically. Thereby the grid structure is built up layer by layer which allows grid structure heights of several centimeters.
