1 * * • · * · Method for producing an article from a metal or an alloy, article produced therefrom, and pressing tool therefor The invention relates to a method for producing an article from a metal 5 or an alloy, in particular a titanium alloy, wherein in a pressing operation, a bolt is repeatedly pressed if necessary several times through a first channel and an adjoining second channel of a pressing tool, after which from the pressed bolt the object is created like an implant. 10 Furthermore, the invention relates to an article, in particular an implant. Finally, the invention relates to a pressing tool for uniforming a bolt, comprising a first channel and an adjoining second channel, wherein the first channel and the second channel include an angle different from 0e with each other 15. From the prior art, a so-called equal-channel Angular-pressing (ECAP) method for forming metallic or alloyed workpieces or semi-finished products is known. This process is a variant of what are known in technical language as "severe plastic deformation" (SPD). This method has in common that a massive deformation of the inserted workpiece or semi-finished product takes place, in particular in order to increase mechanical characteristics. In an ECAP process, fine microstructures and therefore high mechanical characteristics of a metal or alloy can be achieved in a special way. A reshaping, which by pressing a bolt several times under increased hydrostatic pressure through a first channel and an angled d. H. At an angle of more than 0 ° to less than 180 °, extending second channel results in a result of a massive forming, resulting in a desired fine microstructure, usually in the submicron range, sometimes even 30 nanometer range, and high mechanical characteristics of the pressed Bolzens leads. Various process variants of an ECAP process are described in R.Z. Valiev et al. Prog. Mat. Be. 51, 2006, 881. 2 · * ·· «· 9 · · It is also known from the prior art to use titanium or titanium alloys, in particular a titanium alloy with 6% by mass of aluminum and 4% by mass of vanadium, titanium as balance in addition to production-related impurities and accompanying elements (in the following short: Ti64 alloy) as semi-finished parts for aerospace and aviation 5 and a particularly pure variant of this alloy (in short: Ti64ELI alloy) for semi-finished, z. B. bolts, for the production of medical devices such as implants. Implants or other parts are made from a semifinished product by forging or machining into a geometry required for the respective application. 10 It is also known from the primary literature that an ECAP method is used for Ti64ELI alloys to study mechanical properties of corresponding treated alloys with respect to implant use (RZ Valiev et al., Rev. Adv. Mater Saitova et al., Int. J. Fat., 31,2009, 15,322; LR Saitova et al., Mat. Sci. Eng. A503,2009,145). However, according to US Pat. No. 6,399,215 B1, such alloys should not be particularly suitable for implants, since they should release individual elements into a body due to wear and vanadium and aluminum should be potentially toxic. In an ECAP process, although a largely homogenous structure of a pressed bolt is generally obtained, it is desirable to have such a method with regard to minimizing the required pressing operations and thereby achieving a high level of saturation of the mechanical characteristics and high structural homogeneity continue to improve. For this purpose, a measure referred to in the jargon as "back-25 pressure" is used to generate a kind of back pressure or hydrostatic pressure in the tool, in particular in a region of a bend formed at the transition of the channels, where the plastic deformation takes place increase. Such back pressure can be applied, for example, mechanically by a piston or by a hydraulic fluid. Due to the back pressure 30, the ECAP or SPD deformation conditions are even more massive, so that a bolt can optionally be converted to a desired property profile with fewer pressing operations. The disadvantage here, however, is a high expenditure on equipment. 3 • · »· *« The object of the invention is to provide a method of the type mentioned above, with which a high structural homogeneity of a pressed bolt can be achieved in a simple manner and without great equipment expense. 5 The Wetteren it is an object of the invention to provide a suitable for this purpose pressing tool. The procedural object is achieved according to the invention, when in a method of the type mentioned above, the bolt is pressed by a cross-section at least at a 10 point a smaller diameter than the first channel having the second channel. An advantage achieved by the invention is to be seen in particular in that a introduced into the pressing tool and pressed in this pin is deformed under increased hydrostatic pressure 15, wherein the pressure within certain limits can be selectively controlled. This is achieved in a simple manner by the smaller diameter of the second channel, at least at one point, without requiring complicated additional mechanical components for generating a counterpressure. By the corresponding pressure load or acting on the bolt during pressing 20 force a high structural homogeneity can be achieved. Due to the proposed change in the free diameter in the region of the second channel, although a higher pressing force is required, which is, however, achievable without additional modifications of pressing tools used in this context. It is preferred that the bolt is pressed by a second channel which is at least partially tapered from a first point in the direction of an outlet, preferably conically tapered, in order to achieve favorable pressure conditions. It is particularly preferred that the bolt is pressed through a second channel, which has at least 30 at one point a maximum of 30%, preferably 3% to 20%, in particular 5% to 15%, smaller cross-sectional area than the first channel. By a corresponding maximum limitation of a cross-sectional area of the second channel or a taper, a required pressing force can be kept within moderate limits. A certain minimum lowering of a cross section or a • ♦ * · · · 4 On the other hand, minimum rejuvenation of 3%, in particular 5%, is expedient in order to ensure desired pressure ratios. The inventive method can be applied at any angle between the first 5 channel and the second channel, but it is preferred that a pressing tool with an angle of 60® to 150 °, in particular about 90 ° or about 120 °, between the first channel and the second channel is used. It is also expedient that the bolt is subjected to a number of pressing operations 10, which is an integer multiple of four, and is thereby rotated by a 90 ° angle about a longitudinal axis of the bolt before each pressing operation. This procedure, which is known per se, represents an accompanying measure, in particular in the case of round bolts, in order to achieve a homogeneous, fine structure viewed over the cross section of the bolt. 15 It can also be provided that the bolt is pressed several times, wherein at least partially turned over before a pressing operation, the bolt and a rear end of the bolt is first inserted into the pressing tool. As a result, it is possible to increase a structural homogeneity, especially since a front end of the bolt 20 is subject to a lower pressure than a section of the bolt located in the region of the transition of the channels. It is then ensured that the bolt after a plurality of forming an at least substantially homogeneous structure aulweist. It is advantageous that the bolt is pressed several times, wherein a pressing temperature 25 of the bolt in at least one pressing operation compared to the previously made Pressing process is actively lowered. Pressing at high temperature is favorable in order to keep pressing forces as low as possible and to prevent cracking as far as possible. On the other hand, finer microstructures and better mechanical characteristics can be achieved at lower temperatures. In this regard, it has been found to be optimum, first 30 to begin a first pressing operation at a higher temperature and then a pressing temperature or temperature of the bolt during pressing z. B. by cooling or wait with a further pressing operation until the bolt and optionally the pressing tool has reached a predetermined lower temperature. For example, for a titanium alloy such as a Ti64 or Ti64ELI alloy, a 5 * * * * * a * ********************************* * • · «« «« · · ♦ · * »« «* · * · ·« «< The first pressing temperature in the temperature window is from 500 ° C. to 540 ° C., after which the pressing temperature is lowered by at least 5 ° C., preferably at least 10 ° C., for each further pressing operation. If the bolt is pressed several times, a temperature during the last pressing operation is preferably more than 50 ° C. below the temperature during the first pressing operation. With this measure, a fine microstructure can already be set in the first pressing steps, which can be carried out with a lower pressing force. In subsequent pressing operations, the microstructure is then formed with an even finer microstructure. Preferably, it is provided in this context that the pressing temperature is lowered at each pressing operation 10, although depending on the material processed also other Temperature programs can be used. For example, a temperature may also be lowered only at one, preferably the last, pressing operation, for. B. more than 50 eC compared with a first or the previous pressing operations. 15 A lowering of the pressing temperature in individual pressing operations is particularly preferred when a hexagonal crystallizing metal or a similar alloy is used, since in a hexagonal crystal lattice a corresponding procedure shows a great effect on a Gefügehomogenität. 20 It can also be advantageous that the pressed bolt is subjected to an isothermal forging before or for producing the object. In this context, an isothermal forging is understood as meaning forging in which the forging tool and the pressed bolt have substantially the same temperature 25. In an isothermal forging, it is particularly advantageous that not only is the microstructure achieved by ECAP transformation or the fine microstructure with the outstanding properties retained, but also that the mechanical characteristics can be increased even further. Static recrystallization does not occur in isothermal forging. 30 In principle, it is expedient that the bolt is heated before the pressing process so that it can be pressed more easily. Heating can be carried out directly in the pressing tool with a small number of bolts to be pressed, if this is equipped, for example, with heating cartridges. Especially with a larger number of too 6 ψ · · ♦ · · · · · «« «· ·· * It can be provided that the bolt is heated outside the pressing tool, for example in an oven or by inductive heating. It can then be kept ready for the pressing process several bolts and a flow rate is limited only by a cycle time of the pressing tool 5. With a method according to the invention, any objects can be produced, for example components for the aerospace industry. However, preferred is an application of the method according to the invention for the production of articles which are used in or on the human body for medical purposes, in particular implants, for. As hip implants, intramedullary nails or bone plates. The further object of the invention is achieved by a pressing tool of the type mentioned, in which the second channel at least at one point has a smaller diameter 15 than the first channel. With a pressing tool according to the invention bolts with good mechanical properties and high homogeneity can be created without much equipment. Due to the diameter reduction provided at at least one point, a bolt when pressed experiences a hydrostatic pressure or a counter-pressure, which results in favorable forming conditions. The expenditure on equipment for this is minimal, since in contrast to the prior art, no additional components for generating a back pressure are required. The second channel may, for example, be at least partially tapered, preferably conically tapered, from a first point in the direction of an outlet. It is possible that already in the first third of the second channel, a taper begins, which extends to the outlet of the second channel. But it is also possible that the second channel initially has a same diameter as the first 30 channel, but then in the said first third stage is provided, at which a free diameter of the second channel decreases. The step is also tapered towards the outlet in this case, but is much shorter than a tapered conical section extending over wide areas of the second channel as far as the outlet. 7 • Φ ···············································································. ee ··· · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ······································ Rejuvenation. Following the step or taper, the second channel can then be formed with a constant free diameter. For reasons already explained, provision is preferably made for the second channel to have at least one point having a maximum of 30%, preferably 3% to 20%, in particular 5% to 15%, smaller cross-sectional area than the first channel. Further features, advantages and effects of the invention will become apparent from the embodiment illustrated below. In the drawings, which are referenced to FIG. 10, show: Fig. 1 is a pressing tool; FIG. 2 shows mechanical characteristics of an alloy in the initial state and after deformation by means of various processes; FIG. Fig. 3 is a photograph of cells on a bolt; Fig. 4 is a photograph of cells on a bolt according to Fig. 3, wherein the bolt has been subjected to ECAP forming; 5 is a diagram relating to biocompatibility of a Ti64ELI alloy after ECAP transformation; FIG. 6 is a graph of hemocompatibility of a Ti64ELI alloy after ECAP reshaping. FIG. In Fig. 1, a pressing tool 2 according to the invention and a circular pin 1 to be pressed in this is shown with a longitudinal axis X in cross section. The pressing tool 2 25 has a first channel 3 and an adjoining at an angle Φ of about 120 ° second channel 4. The first channel 3 is round in cross-section. The second channel 4 connects to the first channel 3 on the one hand via a corner and on the other hand via a rounding 9, which covers an angle Ψ of about 55 °, and is in the terminal area with a same cross section and a same free diameter 30 as the first channel 3 trained. In contrast to the first channel 3, however, a first point 5 is provided in the second channel 4, on which the second channel 4 has a tapered conical surface tapering towards an outlet 6, so that a free diameter of the second channel 4 decreases. The taper can be step-shaped as shown in FIG. 1, and after a bevel from a second point onwards ····· ♦ · · again parallel to an area in front of the bevel. But it is also possible that the second channel 4 is continuously tapered from the first point 5 to the outlet 6 out. Regardless of the specific embodiment, it is expedient that the first point 5 is already arranged in a first third of the length of the second channel 4 of FIG. 5 of the rounding 9 toward the outlet 6 or a continuous conical taper already begins in this area achieved that a front end 7 of the bolt 1 in each pressing on the first point 5 and the taper meets, so that the Botzen 1 is opposed to a resistance, which builds up a back pressure during forming. 10 With a pressing tool 2, a bolt 1 of a Ti64 alloy with 6% by mass of aluminum and 4% by mass of vanadium was formed. Specifically, the alloy was a commercially available alloy titled "Titanium Ti-6AI-4V extra low interstitial" (3.7165 ELI, ISO 5832-2, ASTM F 136) with a maximum of 0.13 mass-15%. Oxygen, maximum 0.015 mass% hydrogen, maximum 0.08 mass% carbon, maximum 0.20 mass% iron, maximum 0.03 mass% nitrogen and a content of 5.5 to 6.5 mass% of aluminum and 3.5 to 4.5% by mass of vanadium, at most 0.4% by mass of impurities and titanium as the remainder. A bolt 1 made of such an alloy was pressed eight times with the pressing tool 2, the bolt 1 after each 90 forming 90 ° was rotated about the longitudinal axis X. A temperature of the bolt 1 in the individual pressing operations was set so that the bolt 1 was pressed for the first time at 530 ° C and then each at a temperature of 10 ° C less. Subsequently, the thus pressed bolt 1 was examined with respect to mechanical characteristics as well as a potential suitability as a semi-finished product for producing an implant by forging or machining. In addition, an analogously formed bolt 1 was subjected to isothermal forging at 550 ° C. FIG. 2 shows mechanical characteristics of a bolt 1 in a state C after forming in the manner described above, in comparison with a starting state A and a state B of a conventional forming (forging at 890 ° C.). Furthermore, mechanical characteristics for a condition D are shown which refer to a bolt according to condition C but with subsequent isothermal forging at 550 ° C. As can be seen, a yield strength and a tensile strength for the state C is significantly higher than for the initial state A and 9....... ··· «· · *« * · ···· * · the state B of a conventional processing. Furthermore, it can be seen from the data for state D that an isothermal forging of a previously solidly formed bolt 1 leads to an additional increase in the strength values. FIG. 3 shows a photograph in which L929 cells are visible after a 24-hour incubation on a starting material according to initial state A. FIG. 4 shows a corresponding photograph for a bolt 1, which has been massively deformed as described and has the condition C. As can be seen from a comparison, considerably more cells 10 are present after incubation on the bolt 1 in accordance with condition C, that is to say after repeated massive deformation, which points to an excellent suitability of the bolt 1 Production of biocompatible products, in particular implants. This is confirmed in Fig. 5, where mitochondrial activity after 24 hours of incubation is the same as for baseline A or nearly reaches the cytotoxicity values of a negative control. Similarly, as shown in FIG. 6, hemocompatibility is given because the leukocyte, erythrocyte and thrombocyte counts in a differential blood count are at a reference level. Incidentally, in aqueous extracts of a bolt 1 neither aluminum nor vanadium ions could be detected.
