The free form air pressure modelling procedure in his application for the art.



Structure construction of the steel
Alloy steel. Without after treatment forging steel is called steel. The single Steel grades restrained itself different. Thus the soft rivet steel is such stretchy that one process him to 8 mm of rivet diameter still coldly can process. Tool steel on the other hand puts also in the glowing state of his deformation still noticeable resistance towards. The reason of this different behaviour lies in the different chemical composition of the steels.

Forging. Due to the kneading during the forging the steel structure is refined and condensed. Steel containing beside the predominantly available iron always carbon. Further some other substances find themselves in low percentages, like silicon, manganese, phosphorus, sulphur, among the rest, more. Carbon strongly influences the qualities of the steel.
With increasing compensation steel becomes substantially more solid, harder and more brittle. The smith and weldability decrease. According to the intended purpose one gives to the steel a carbon content of 0.05... 1.7 %. In no case, however, he loses by the admixture - from carbon and the like his metal qualities.
Steel is an alloy which consists basically of iron and carbon
and whose qualities are determined by kind and amount of the alloying constituents.
of the alloy steel is the pure iron (ferrum to distinguish Fe), this a Fe compensation of 99.90... 99.98 % has. It is silver white and so soft and stretchy that it is used only in few special cases for technical purposes, thus, e.g., because of certain magnetic qualities.

Structural constituents of the steel
In the operation one judges the material often by the rupture structure concerning chemical composition, treatment and any mistakes and observes, besides, whether the rupture images smartly or granulated, brighter or more darkly, more weakly or more brilliantly appear.
Because, however, the circumstances, as the rupture was caused, the lighting and other ratios influence on the appearance of the fractured surface have, one must be careful with the judgment.

Structural composition (Gestein) of the steel
It concerns to a steel, carbon content after the right end to from 0 to 1.7 % rises.
One recognises at the beginning bright fields which give way after the centre to a dark mass, to the right appear in the reinforced measures of bright veins. The dark mass carries, because of her effect reminding in nacre , the name Perlit. The bright veins represent a chemical compound of iron and carbon, the iron carbide (iron carbon), as a structure constituent (Secondarily) Zementit called. It consists from three atoms iron and a atom carbon (Fe3C). A comparison with the below the grinding pattern empanelled carbon content lets recognize that up to 0,9 % an increase in Perlit under suitable decrease of ferrite appears. With a carbon content more than 0.9% Perlit is substituted in rising measures with Zementit, ferrite is not more existing.

b) Perlit (600 case),
c) Zementit-net(150 case).


As structure constituents of the natural-hard steel one finds ferrite, Perlit and Zementit. Besides, the carbon is in the form of a chemical compound represent, the chemist iron carbide and which metal expert Zementit calls. For cast iron or raw iron coming other structure constituents in addition.

Iron: The fourth-most frequent element of the earth's crust (chemical symbol Fe; atomic weight 55.9; ordinal 26; relative density 7.8; melt point 1535 ℃). In pure form iron is a silver-grey, tough, malleable, magnetic metal. Chemical is seen iron, like most metals, a good reducing agent, that is it loosens oxygen from chemical compounds. The element owns four stable isotopes. Because of the big frequency of his deposit (5 weight percent of the earth's crust) and his excellent qualities it has become the most important metal of our industrial age. Above all in the production of mild steel, cast iron and wrought iron and from raw materials for the dye industry it finds application.

Alloy: Mixture or combination which arises through fusions of a metal with another material which can be metallic or non-metallic. Most metals which we use today are alloys. By union of materials in the right quantitative proportions scientists generate alloys with the certain physical properties which are used for scientific or industrial purposes. Examples of it are many sorts of steel, brass and bronze. The qualities of an alloy absolutely differ from those of the metals which are containing in thus, for example, the melt point of silver lies with 960 ℃ from copper with 1083 ℃ while alloys of silver and copper melt points between 770 ℃ and in 1069 ℃ own. While cooling alloys forming different kinds of crystals, and the qualities of an alloy are determined extensively by the prevailing crystal kind. Metallurgists have found out that the behaviour of an alloy depends very strongly on her chemical composition and the cooling rate. By quick cooling, so-called »Quenching« no big crystals can incurred; one uses this process, hence, to the production of hard alloys. By the alloys of magnesium, aluminium and titanium which distinguish themselves by big hardness and low weight one has in the airplane and rockets building big progress achieves. Under ---> one understands steel many ferrous alloys with different shares in manganese, wolfram or other metals.


Metals: Big group (71 of a total of 92) of course more seeming elements, the certain physical and chemical qualities have in common (--->periodically system). These similar qualities touch from resemblances in the atomic structure of these elements here; nevertheless, they are in her appearance, the frequency of her deposit and certain one to typical qualities passed away very much. Metal atoms own at most four electrons in the extreme shell and reach in chemical connections thereby a stable form that they deliver electrons from this shell. The responsiveness of a metal hangs from the number of the external electrons from. These electrons which can move within the metal crystal quite freely from atom to atom hold the crystal together into which they enter connections with the positively charged atomic nuclei. From the availability of these free electrons let themselves quite in general the typical ability of the metals to carrying electric current and to send out electrons, as well as her deformability and forgeability explain.
Metals are not only good conductors of the electricity - silver is, by the way, the best conductor, but also own relatively high densities and high boiling points and melt points; they are not least good heat conductors, and again silver is the best. Metals are composited from crystals of definite structures. With warming or radiotherapy they send out electrons. Up to mercury they are solid bodies, ductile (copper distinguishes itself in this particularly), forgeably (gold best) and deformable. All metals own the chemical quality to react with oxygen under education of oxide, and this metal oxide is ---> bases.
Non-metals: Group of elements, which one in useful, but arbitrary manner from ---> metallically makes a distinction (--->periodical system). Non-metals are bad electric conductors and only hardly deformable and show high ionisation voltages. They are generally oxidizing agents; the less metallically her qualities are, her oxidation ability is the greater. Non-metal oxide forming acids with water. Some elements, namely tin, antimony and tellurium, are neither unambiguously metallic nor non-metallic, but show qualities of both element groups; one calls them, therefore, metalloids.
Nickel: Chemical element with the character Ni, to the atomic weight 58.71, the ordinal 28, to the specific gravity 8.9, to the glaze point 1453 ℃ and the boiling point in 2800 ℃. Pure nickel is ferromagnetic, very stretchy and able of polish, continuously against air, water and alkalis, but dissolvably in acids with which it forming salts of greenish colouring. Good-quality nickel seems only in meteorite iron, otherwise mostly in copper and cobalt circuits as a nickel brightness, nickel blossom and nickel gravel. Nickel ores are won particularly in Canada, the Soviet Union, New Caledonia and Cuba. One uses nickel primarily for nickel-plating and plating of iron and steel, as well as in alloys: Nickel steel (very hard and rustproof), Nickel silver, Niccolite (copper -nickel-stannic-alloyage for heating conductors etc.), monel metal, Chromel, constantan, Alfenide etc. in the electrical industry serves nickel as a catyliser.

Oxidation: Addition of oxygen to an element or a chemical compound. The oxidation speed varies very strongly. Only one small heat quantity is delivered to slow oxidation, as for example with the rustt of iron. With quick oxidation against it, as for example with the combustion of a fuel, there incurreds a lot of heat and light, and very quick oxidation can be explosive. Every reaction with which electrons crossing take place is ordinarily an Oxydations-Re-ducing-reaction (Redox reaction). Besides, that basic material which loses electrons is oxidised, that reduces against it which takes up the electrons. The number of the delivered electrons conforms to the number of the taken up electrons. Also -> rust.

Mass-construction-steels, called also general constructional steels, are used mainly in the steel construction and mechanical engineering. Their technically most significant qualities are a tensile strength and forming capacity. With rising tensile strength takes the forming capacity away. Constructional steels are marked after her minimum tensile strength. Examples: St 33, St 60, St 70.

Iron materials. Approximately 600-720 MPA
General engineering steels are into three groups of qualities distinguished:
Quality 1 for general requirements, in the basic Thomas Converter smelted.
Examples: St 38, St 42.
Quality 2 for higher requirements, in the Siemens-Martin-Oven smelted,
1) 2) uncalmed (u) or calms (c) poured.
Examples: : St 38 u-2, St 42b-2.
1) While cooling the liquid steel freely to growing gases move the steel into flowing movement. He is worried. If these gases cannot escape, they forming in the steel block the gas bubbles which are mostly welded with the roller of the steel.
2) Places: one of the steel glazes aluminium to, so the gasification is prevented. The steel is calmed. His chemical composition is steady.

Schematic sequence from iron ore to the steel product.
Iron material.

Weldability
The weldability of the steels is calmed depending on the chemical composition of the material, the steel making process and the pouring practice (uncalmed). The directives of the central institute of welding technology are valid for the welding of the steels.
Melt welding capables itself for calm and half-calm steels better than for uncalmed. The carbon content has influence on the weldability of the general mild steels. The upper border lies with 0.22 %C (hardness increase by quick cooling of the welding parts). With higher C compensations special measures are necessary (Warm up).
To the melting welding appropriate steel brands:
St 34 u-2 St 38 S St 34-3
St 34 hb-2 St 38 u-2 St 38-3
St 34 b-2 St 38 hb-2 St 42-3
St 38 b-2 St 52-3
Resistance-butt-welding is possible with all steel brands.
Pressure welding is possible generally with steel brands with at most 0.20% of C. The suitability to the pressure welding decreases with rising silicon compensation.

Forging
To smiths. Purpose: Forming of the metallic materials which cannot be brought with ambient temperature or only hard by pressure, bends or weights of punch in the necessary form and must be heated, therefore. The styling occurs in the area between stretching and rupture border if the material is in the condition of the biggest formability and the slightest effort is necessary. At the same time a grain refinement and improvement of the material qualities is possible.

Application
For all metals which admit considerable deformation with warming about recrystallization temperature, without the material connection is destroyed (steel, cast steel, in limited measure malleable cast iron, copper, bronze, brass, magnesium alloys and aluminium alloys, particularly the group of AlCuMg alloys). The process is connected with only low material losses.
Disadvantageously is the big tolerance necessary with many smith's processes.

Comparison of the manufacture of a bolt with head:
Bolt machining. Machining formed
considerable material losses,
direction of grain discontinuous,
production time high, firmness reduces

Bolt forged deformed. Forged
Hardly material losses direction of grain is preserved,
production time low,
firmness increased


Influence of temperature
Temperature influence with malleable materials (wrought alloys) firmness and elasticity are dependent on temperature. The firmness decreases at rising temperature, the stretch to; with steel only at temperatures more than 400 ℃. The temperature range of from 200 to 300 ℃ is very unfavorable for the reshaping of steel, because the material gets here in a condition of the solidification and embrittlement.

Temperatures. Tightnesses and elongation of St 42 with higher temperatures


Forging temperatures
They should lie about the recrystallization temperature. If the material is heated too much (overheats) or too long on high temperature held (over clocked), coarse-grained structure with low firmness incurred. The necessary smith's temperatures are dependent on the alloying constituents, with steel particularly from the carbon. They lie, e.g., with
mild steel between 850 and 1200 ℃ tool steel between 800 and in 1050 ℃ quick work steel between 1000 and 1050 ℃ brass (60% of Cu) around 700 ℃,
Aluminium around 500 ℃ AlCuMg alloys around 420 ℃. The manufacturer's operations show exact values for the materials.
heating
carbon arms steels can be heated fast up to the smith's temperature, alloyed steels rich in carbon slowly up to the red heat, then fast up to the smith's temperature.
cooling down
workpieces must cool down after the forging's slowly and evenly to avoid undesirable hardness and tensions.
Burning-off
The smith's piece may be put out with the warming not too long to the blower air directly, because, otherwise, an oxidation to Fe304 (tinder or iron hammer impact) and raised material loss (burning-off) appear. At very high temperatures it can coming to the scaling about the grain boundaries in the material inside, the steel cannot be forged any more, he has burnt and has crumbled.
Burnt to death steel. If glowing tool steel is put out long to the airflow of the blower, the aerial oxygen burns the carbon of the edge layer, the steel is not any more hardenable. Coal about the air nozzle must always lie to distribute the airflow. Sulphur from the coal forming in the grain boundaries of the heated steel sulphur iron fez, the steel becomes red-fragile or warm-fragile. Therefore, fresh coal must be laid to the edge of The fire where the sulphur burns - the coal "scarfing ".
gas stove and electric stove enable to keep away aerial oxygen and sulphur from the workpiece.


Forging arrangement
Smith's process, heated material is forced between two upsetting areas by straight compressive forces of his source form in the desired form. Material flows into the direction of the slightest resistor. The compressive forces can dynamically incurred (by hammer impacts) or statically (by pressing).
The reshaping is depending on
1. the temperature of the workpiece
2. the kinetic energy of the hammer impact.

Kinetic energy. Influence of the temperature of the material on his plasticity.
The inertia of the anvil and workpiece measures counteracts against the impact of the hammer impacts.
The material is kneaded with the forging's, gas bubbles and cavities are pressed together and welded.


beside the free forming air pressure modelling procedure process with compressed air and vacuum, stand even other series of experiments of the pressure modelling procedure for steel sheet hollow body segments with steam as well as the high-speed reshaping by blasting agent.

After the achievement of the yield strength the material strength of 1.24 mm decreases to approximately 0.16 mm with a factor of 7. By cutting open of new metal sheets or the plug-welding of the places they have cracked, the gas density is restored to the wide modelling.
We see advantages of the modelling procedure for the art, primarily, in so far as originally, because the pieces of art economically actually are produceable. Just because of the low dead weight and the high body firmness, given by the optimally steady expansion while glowing through under air pressure, offers to our opinion after an optimum for colossally big pieces of art.
