Description

Title of the invention: Sheet metal for a skip for granular materials Field of invention

[0001] The invention relates to sheets for bins for granular materials which have improved abrasion resistance. State of the art

[0002] A skip for granular materials most often comprises a base, typically a flat or curved base 1, and a plurality of side walls 2, 4 intended to confine the granular material to be transported; typically, a skip has a rectangular shape and comprises two sets of side walls, at least one of which 2 can be opened to unload the granular material by tilting the skip using a jack 3 (see [Fig.l]). Another method of construction is the so-called "half-moon" shape comprising a curved base and side walls, of which the one which can be opened to unload the granular material can have a more or less complex curved shape. There are other shapes of skip, in particular those which allow unloading via the base. These skips may comprise, in addition to the base and the walls, external stiffeners or frames.The parts of the walls and bottom that come into contact with the granular material are usually smooth, so that the granular material slides well when unloading.

[0003] Bins for granular materials are typically unloaded by dumping: the bin is tilted, and the granular material flows out through an opening. This opening may be a side hatch. The flow may also be through an opening in the bottom of the bin. In all cases, during this flow, the granular material slides along the bottom of the bin. This leads to abrasion wear. This wear of the bottom of the bin is greater near the opening through which the bin is unloaded, because the pressure is higher there. The wear depends on the material used for the bottom of the bin and the granular material. It also depends on the tilting speed of the bin, as well as the rheological characteristics of the granular material.These rheological characteristics may depend, for example, on the humidity level: we know that dry sand flows as the bucket rises, while wet sand, which is more sensitive to compaction, flows in several blocks which detach from the main mass. The term "granular material" here includes any granular material, whatever its origin and nature, mineral or organic, which is usually transported in buckets, such as: sand, gravel, pebbles, stones, topsoil, backfill soil, seeds, etc.

[0004] The flow conditions encountered on steel skips lead to a Significant abrasion of the bottom of the skips. Several remedies have been proposed. The bottom of the skip can be covered with a rubber sheet or strip. More abrasion-resistant sheets have also been used, for example Hardox ® 400 or 500, these sheets typically exhibiting a weight loss of 200 to 300 mg after 4000 Taber test cycles. The geometry of the skip can also be optimized to minimize the pressure exerted by the granular material on the skip surfaces; the dumper-type skip is an example of such a geometry.

[0005] These products are quite expensive. Furthermore, we would like to have abrasion-resistant skips that can be made of aluminum alloy, because with equivalent performance, they are lighter than steel skips.

[0006] Patent application WO2006 / 035155 describes a skip for transporting, storing or handling granular material comprising a base and side walls, characterized in that at least part of the base comprises a sheet having been printed by rolling with one or more relief patterns on one face, said sheet being arranged so that during transport or during unloading of the granular material, said pattern is in contact with said granular material. The alloys used for the relief sheets can be steel or, preferably, an aluminum alloy, such as an alloy of the 5xxx series, the copper-free Al-Zn-Mg type alloys of the 7xxx series, such as 7020, and the alloys of the 6xxx series, such as 6061. The printed sheets, however, have two disadvantages: on the one hand, they are more expensive and on the other hand, the granular material is retained and only begins to slide with a high angle of incidence.

[0007] Patent application WO2018 / 104004 relates to a method for manufacturing an abrasion-resistant aluminum alloy rolled product comprising the steps of: (a) providing an aluminum alloy rolling material having Mg 4.20% to 5.5%, Mn 0.50% to 1.1%, Fe up to 0.40%, Si up to 0.30%, Cu up to 0.20%, Cr up to 0.25%, Zr up to 0.25%, Zn up to 0.30%, Ti up to 0.25%, unavoidable impurities and remainder aluminum; (b) heating the rolling material; (c) hot rolling the rolling material to an intermediate thickness in a range of 15 mm to 40 mm;(d) hot rolling the rolling material from an intermediate thickness to a final thickness in a range of 3 mm to 15 mm and wherein the exit temperature of the hot rolling mill is in a range of 130 to 285°C; (e) cooling the hot rolled material to room temperature.

[0008] The aim of the present invention is to propose an improved rolled product made of aluminium alloy, intended in particular for the production of skips for the transport of granular materials, resistant to abrasion, having satisfactory mechanical properties for this application and the manufacturing process of which is economical. Subject of the invention

[0009] A first object of the invention is a method of manufacturing an abrasion-resistant rolled product made of aluminum alloy, comprising the following successive steps: (a) casting a 6XXX series aluminium alloy into a rolling plate, (b) heating the rolling plate to a temperature of 450°C to 580°C, (c) hot rolling the thus heated rolling plate in one or more rolling stages to a sheet of intermediate thickness of 12 to 40 mm, preferably 15 to 30 mm, the inlet temperature of the hot rolling mill preferably being 450°C to 560°C and the outlet temperature of the hot rolling mill preferably being 380°C to 530°C, (d) hot rolling the intermediate thickness sheet in one or more rolling steps to a hot rolling exit thickness sheet of 3 mm to 15 mm, the temperature of the intermediate thickness sheet when step (d) starts being 330°C to 460°C, and the exit temperature of the hot rolling mill being 170°C to 320°C, (e) cooling the hot rolling outlet thickness sheet from the hot rolling mill outlet temperature to room temperature, (f) optionally cold rolling the hot rolling output thickness sheet with a reduction rate of 10% to 40% and / or carrying out heat treatment at a temperature of 150°C to 200°C, wherein, after hot rolling and cooling to room temperature, the rolled aluminum alloy product is not subjected to solution / quenching treatment and is not printed with a relief pattern.

[0010] A second subject of the invention is a method of manufacturing a bin for granular material in which an abrasion-resistant rolled product is obtained by the method according to the invention, said abrasion-resistant rolled product is shaped and / or assembled to form a bin for granular material comprising said abrasion-resistant rolled product.

[0011] A third object of the invention is a bin for granular material comprising an abrasion-resistant rolled product obtained by the method according to the invention.

[0012] A fourth object of the invention is the use of an abrasion-resistant rolled product obtained by the method according to the invention for manufacturing a container for granular material.

[0013] A fifth object of the invention is the use of a skip according to the invention for the transport of granular material. Description of figures

[0014] [Fig. 1] [Fig. 1] shows a bin for granular material made of sheets and profiles.

[0015] [Fig.2] [Fig.2] shows the relationship between the yield strength in the TL direction and the abrasion measured by the Taber test. Description of the invention

[0016] All aluminum alloys mentioned hereinafter are designated according to the rules and designations defined by The Aluminum Association in Registration Record Series which it publishes regularly, unless otherwise stated.

[0017] The metallurgical states referred to are designated according to European standard EN-515 (1993) unless otherwise stated.

[0018] All alloy compositions are provided in % by weight (wt%).

[0019] Unless otherwise stated, the static mechanical characteristics, i.e. the ultimate tensile strength Rm, the tensile yield strength Rp0.2, and the total elongation, also called elongation at break, are determined by a tensile test according to standard NF EN ISO 6892-1 (2016), the location of gripping of the parts and their direction being defined in standard EN 485 (2016).

[0020] Unless otherwise stated, the definitions in EN 12258 (2012) apply.

[0021] The applicant has realized that it is possible to improve the wear resistance of the bottom of the skips by developing more abrasion-resistant alloys or materials from the 6XXX family, without increasing the manufacturing cost thanks to a process that does not include solution treatment and quenching after hot rolling. Contrary to what the person skilled in the art thought, the modification of the metallurgy resulted in a very significant improvement in abrasion resistance, without using alloys or materials that are unusual in the construction of industrial vehicles and / or much more expensive than the materials usually used and without using a relief sheet on the bottom of the skip.

[0022] The inventors have found that, surprisingly, alloy sheets of the 6XXX family which have not undergone solution treatment and quenching after hot rolling and which are not in the form of relief sheet, but whose processing conditions have been carefully chosen, have excellent abrasion resistance. According to standard EN 12258-1, the person skilled in the art understands by "relief sheet" a "sheet having been printed with a relief pattern on one face, by rolling".

[0023] According to the invention, the method for manufacturing an abrasion-resistant rolled product made of aluminum alloy comprises the successive steps of casting, heating, hot rolling to a sheet of intermediate thickness, hot rolling to a sheet of hot rolling outlet thickness and cooling to tem room temperature, optionally cold rolling and / or heat treatment at a temperature of 170°C to 320°C, but does not include solution treatment / quenching after hot rolling and is not printed with a relief pattern.

[0052] The invention also relates to a bin for granular material comprising an abrasion-resistant rolled product obtained by the method according to the invention.

[0053] According to the invention, the abrasion-resistant rolled product is arranged at the bottom of the bucket, so as to be in contact with the granular material when the bucket is loaded. The abrasion-resistant rolled product may be arranged over the entire surface of the bottom of the bucket, or only on the part which is close to the hatch through which the granular material is discharged. In the context of the present invention, the term "bottom" must be understood as meaning the part of the bucket on which the granular material exerts a downward force (when the bucket is in position horizontal (transport position), whereas the term "wall" should be understood as meaning the part of the bucket on which the granular material exerts a rather horizontal force. The bottom and the walls may be separate parts (assembled for example by welding or bolting), or represent a single curved shape (assembled or not). What matters is that at least part of the bottom of the bucket, namely the part on which the granular material slides during its unloading, is covered with abrasion-resistant laminated product according to the invention. In one embodiment, the bucket according to the invention is characterized in that the abrasion-resistant laminated product covers the entire surface of the bottom of the bucket, or only part of the surface of said bottom on which the granular material slides during its unloading.

[0062] In an abrasion resistance test, the samples were tested using a standardized setup according to Taber in which two abrasive wheels with a specified surface area are rotated with a defined force on a rotating material sample. The two abrasive wheels rotate in opposite directions, which means that the abrasion of the material takes place transversely. The weight loss is measured after 4000 revolutions and is called number of cycles (revolutions) as mass loss per revolution (mg / revolution). The applied test parameters were: 60 revolutions / min, number of revolutions 4000 (resulting in a sliding path of 800 m), applied force 10 N, room temperature, type of motion: rolling, friction radius: 31.75 mm (U = 200 mm), friction roller H-22, for each test series new friction rollers were used. The results are shown in Table 4

[0064] The relationship between the elastic limit and the mass loss during the Taber test is given in [Fig.2]. The samples according to the invention, A1 and A-5, show after 4000 cycles a mass loss of less than 400 mg despite a mechanical resistance lower than that of the other samples.
