Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for producing a brake disk for a wheel brake of a land vehicle includes laser depositing a duplex steel anti-corrosion layer to an axial friction side of a main body produced from gray cast iron at a surface speed of more than 10 m/min and applying an anti-abrasion layer to the anti-corrosion layer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for producing a brake disk for a wheel brake of a land vehicle, the method comprising: laser depositing a duplex steel anti-corrosion layer to an axial friction side of a main body produced from gray cast iron at a surface speed of more than 10 m/min, the laser depositing comprising continuously introducing a duplex steel powder into a laser beam and at the same time continuously introducing a carbide powder into the laser beam; and applying an anti-abrasion layer to the anti-corrosion layer. 2. The method according to claim 1 further comprising machining the axial friction side of the main body prior to applying the anti-corrosion layer, wherein the machining includes turning the axial friction side. 3. The method according to claim 1 further comprising smoothing a surface of the anti-corrosion layer which faces away from the main body prior to applying the anti-abrasion layer. 4. The method according to claim 1 further comprising smoothing a surface of the anti-abrasion layer which faces away from the anti-corrosion layer. 5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the anti-abrasion layer is applied to the anti-corrosion layer using laser deposition. 6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the anti-abrasion layer is applied to the anti-corrosion layer using high-velocity flame spraying. 7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the duplex steel powder is introduced via a first powder line and the carbide powder is introduced via a second powder line. 8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the laser depositing the duplex steel anti-corrosion layer to the axial friction side of the main body comprises using a quasi-coaxial multi-jet powder nozzle, wherein the quasi-coaxial multi-jet powder nozzle comprises a design working clearance greater than 20 mm, glass powder injector inserts with a smooth and hard internal surface, and a shielding gas stream. 9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the anti-abrasion layer is applied with high-velocity flame spraying using an HVOF burner with liquid fuel and four powder injectors. 10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the anti-abrasion layer is produced from an iron-based alloy having a carbide reinforcement, the carbide reinforcement comprising at least one of a silicon carbide reinforcement, a vanadium carbide reinforcement, a niobium carbide reinforcement, a boron carbide reinforcement, and a chromium carbide reinforcement. 11. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the main body is produced using a sand casting method. 12. A method for producing a brake disk for a wheel brake of a land vehicle, the method comprising: laser depositing a duplex steel anti-corrosion layer to an axial friction side of a main body produced from gray cast iron at a surface speed of more than 10 m/min, wherein the anti-corrosion layer is based on iron and has a chromium content of between 18% by weight and 30% by weight, a nickel content of between 1% by weight and 8% by weight, a molybdenum content of at most 4.5% by weight, a copper content of at most 3% by weight and a carbon content of at most 0.03% by weight; and applying an anti-abrasion layer to the anti-corrosion layer. 13. The method according to claim 12 further comprising machining the axial friction side of the main body prior to applying the anti-corrosion layer, wherein the machining includes turning the axial friction side. 14. The method according to claim 12 further comprising smoothing a surface of the anti-corrosion layer which faces away from the main body prior to applying the anti-abrasion layer. 15. The method according to claim 12 further comprising smoothing a surface of the anti-abrasion layer which faces away from the anti-corrosion layer. 16. The method according to claim 12 , wherein the anti-abrasion layer is applied to the anti-corrosion layer using laser deposition. 17. A method for producing a brake disk for a wheel brake of a land vehicle, the method comprising: laser depositing a duplex steel anti-corrosion layer to an axial friction side of a main body produced from gray cast iron at a surface speed of more than 10 m/min, wherein the anti-corrosion layer is based on iron and has a chromium content of between 18% by weight and 30% by weight, a nickel content of between 1% by weight and 8% by weight, a molybdenum content of at most 4.5% by weight, a copper content of at most 3% by weight and a carbon content of at most 0.03% by weight; and applying an anti-abrasion layer to the anti-corrosion layer, wherein the anti-abrasion layer is produced from an iron-based alloy having a carbide reinforcement, the carbide reinforcement comprising at least one of a silicon carbide reinforcement, a vanadium carbide reinforcement, a niobium carbide reinforcement, a boron carbide reinforcement, and a chromium carbide reinforcement. 18. The method according to claim 17 , wherein the laser depositing the duplex steel anti-corrosion layer to the axial friction side of the main body comprises introducing continuously and at the same time a duplex steel powder and a carbide powder into a laser beam. 19. The method according to claim 17 , wherein the laser depositing the duplex steel anti-corrosion layer to the axial friction side of the main body comprises using a quasi-coaxial multi-jet powder nozzle, wherein the quasi-coaxial multi-jet powder nozzle comprises a design working clearance greater than 20 mm, glass powder injector inserts with a smooth and hard internal surface, and a shielding gas stream. 20. The method according to claim 17 , wherein the anti-abrasion layer is applied with high-velocity flame spraying using an HVOF burner with liquid fuel and four powder injectors.
