Abstract

Abstract In a grinding means according to the invention, such as in a homogeneous grindstone, in an abrasive layer or segment affixed to the surface of a stone body, the hard abrasive fragments are bonded to each other with a sintered metal.

Description

"3~

Grinding means for producing mechanical woodpulp The present invention relates to a grinding means for use in the production of mechanical woodpulp or in pulping, said means comprising abrasive aluminum oxide, wolfram carbide, silicon carbide or the like fragments and a bond for holding them together.

In this application9 the term grinding meansJmeans the above-described homogeneous pulpstone, an abrasive layer affi~ed on the separate pulpstone block, and abrasive segments.

At present, a pulpstone generally comprises a concrete or metal body, having a separate abrasive layer or segments affixed thereon. A segment construction is generally known in the art and it is disclosed e.g. in US Patent publications 2 887 276 and 2 421 885.

In terms of woodpulp quality the most critical component o~ a pulpstone is the grinding means. It must be capable of producing a desired type of woodpulp and it must be capable of sustaining the mechanical and thermal stresses exerted thereon during grinding.

The bond used in presently available grinding means is nearly exclusively ceramic. Thus, the abrasive fragments, usually either A120< or SiC, are bonded together by a ceramic bond, generally glass. Such a co~position is disclosed e.g. in US Patent publication 2 769 286.

The brittleness o~ ceramic materials encourages the wearing thereof, rasulting also in deterioration of the strength properties of pulp. Therefore, the grinding means made with a ceramic bond must o~ten be tooled, which rapidly wears down the grinding means. In tooling, the surface of a ceramic bond is machine~ wi~h a special tool ~o produce a thick ~rray of : ~"

grooves which usually forms a 28 angle relative to the axis of rotation of a pulpstone. The relative distance of grooves is
2...3 mrn and depth circa 1 mm. The purpose of tooling is to provide the fibers removed from wood with a space whereby said fibers can leave the grinding zone without becoming re-ground~
In addition, the tooling is used to proportionate the grinding area of a grinding means properly relative to the grinding pressure and the quality o~ pulp to be produced.

Another significant drawback, especially with presently used ceramic grinding segments, is the splitting thereof which also has to do with their brittleness. With the present high-duty pulp grinders this problem is even more pronounced. Splitting of a segment takes place when it is subjected to an intense thermal shock. Such a situation develops e.g. when a block of wood to be ground goes endwise against the abrasive surface.
Since an endwise piece of wood is ground a lot slower than a crosswise one, an extremely high pressure develops at such wood. As a consequence, also the temperature rises locally very high which may result in damage to the segment.

Such damage often results in at least one-day production break on pulp grinder. If the stone cannot be fixed and it must be replaced with a new one, the breakdown will take several days.

The brittle segments also limit deployment of a stone from room temperature. The fact is, namely, that a pulpstone or grindstone must then be carefully heated up to 2 days before commencing actual grinding.

The use of a metal in a grinding means is also prior known from e.g. SE publication prin-t 309 529. This grinding means is fitted with a metal sur~ace, provided with semi-spherical elevations for grinding effect.

~:~67~9~.~

Such a solution is practically impossible for several reasonsO
The nodules provided on a metal surface wear away rather rapidly with a consequence that said metal sur~ace must be frequently replaced. The replacement is always inconvenient and a tedious process which accordingly decreaæes production efficiency and overall grinding economy.

An object of this invention is to provide a grinding means used in the mechanical production of woodpulp or in defibration~
such as a homogeneous grinding stone or abrasive segment, whose wear resiætance and mechanical strength are both superior to those of the prior art solutions. According to the invention, this object is achieved in a manner that the bond consists of sintered metal.

In view of the pulping porcess it is preferable that a sintered metal, interspaced between abrasive fragments a~d being softer than said abrasive fragments~ wears away more during grinding than said abrasive fragments.

Due to the conditions prevailing in a pulping process, the preferred metal is a corrosion-resistant or stainless metal, such as stainless or acid-proof steel, e.g. AISI 304 or 316 or 316L. The sintered metal used as a bond can also be copper or a copper alloy, such as brass.

In a grinding means of the invention, the abrasive or grinding fragments can comprise any presently available abrasive materialj such as aluminum oxide, various carbides etc.
.. , The proportion of abrasive fragments in a grinding means is preferably 10-70 percent by volume and most preferably 30-50 percent by volu~e.

~ sintered grinding means, bonded with a metal matrix, can be porous, e.g. 5-30 % of its volume.

.-.: ',,: '~
,, : . :

~ ~ .

~67~

The size of abrasive fragments ls preferably circa 150~700 ~m.

Sintering is effected e.g. as follows:
The mixture of powdered metal and abrasive fragments is compressed together with a force sufficient to give the block a handling strength in order to convey it into a furnace without any support means or mould. This is followed by heating the block in the furnace to e.g. 1000-1500C, i.e. suitably below the melting point of a metal employed in a suitable protective gas or vacuum, if desired. Thus, the metal particles adhere to each other building around abrasive fragments a matrix to which said abrasive ~ragments are firmly affixed.

This is a preferable way of producing e.g. grinding segments or sectors, which are conventionally mounted on the surface of e.g. a cylindrical, conical or disc-shaped body made of a metal or some other suitable material.

The analyses have indicated that the compression strength of a grinding segment of the invention, being e.g. up to 1000 N/mm~, is approximately tenfold and its wear resistance up to fivefold as compared with presently available ceramic segments. Despite the high compression strength achieved, a grinding segment of the invention is tough and does not fracture easily the way the available ceramic segments do if subjected to mechanical or thermal shocks.

The improved wear resistance renders possible to make the wearing layer of a grinding means thinner than at present.
Since the strength and toughness of a sintered metal relative to the corresponding properties of a ceramic bond are substantially better, the grinding can be effected with consistencies and temperatures substantially higher than at present whereby, e.g. in pressure grinding, the strength characteristics of pulp are improved and the recovery of heat becomes more effective.

The construction of a grinding means of the invention has been illustrated in th accompanying drawing, which shows the construction of a grinding means of the invention in grinding situation cross-sectioned perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of a block of wood to be ground.

The drawing illustrates the position where the abrasive fragments 1 on the surface of a grinding means contact the surface of wood 5 to be ground. The grinding direction of a grinding means is designated by -the arrow. At the ~ame time, the fragments penetrate partially into the wood compressing it also, whereby fibers 4 come off the wood as a result of grinding.

The abrasive fragments are bonded together by sintering therearound a matrix 2 of metal particles. It is possible that sintering leaves the matrix with a certain amount (0...20%) of pores 3. When softer bond 2 wears off the abrasive surface, the abrasive fragments will be exposed. As the fragments travel at a high rate of speed against the surface of wood, there is generated in the viscoelastic fiber matrix of wood a high-frequency oscillation which generates the heat that softens the lignin serving as the bond of fibers. This way the fibers can be removed from wood.

A grinding means of the invention can be used not only in pulp grinders but also in a variety of disc, conical or the like refiners, grinders and in other equipment intended for mechanical pulping of wood. In this case, of course, the block design beneath the abrasive surface layer must be constructed appropriately for each purpose. It is possible that abrasive fragments include just one quality or a plurality of qualitics in proper ratio to each other.
