Abstract

The invention discloses a method for producing a metal injection molding feed adhesive by using an ionic TLCP. To meet the demands of metal injection molding, a feed with high fluidity, high mechanical strength and low linear expansion coefficient is produced. The method selects the liquid crystal polymer with ion groups and the thermoplastic binder to prepare the feed according to a certain proportion. The TLCP generates liquid crystal phase change in the range of injection processing temperature, so that the feed has low linear expansion coefficient and good processing performance. Under the action of the jet force field, rigid molecules in the liquid crystal form a highly oriented condensed state structure, so that the fluidity and the processing performance of the feed are improved. The ionic group can improve interfacial compatibility, and the similar low linear expansion coefficient with metal can ensure the mechanical stability of the metal and the adhesive system in the sintering process and prevent cracking. Thereby effectively improving the qualification rate of the metal injection molding product. The invention can be applied to the production of superfine powder feeding, thin-wall metal parts and metal injection molding of precise parts.

Description

Method for producing metal injection molding feed adhesive by using ionic TLCP
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of powder metallurgy, in particular to a method for preparing a high-performance metal injection molding feed adhesive with controllable use temperature by utilizing the arrangement characteristic of phase change molecules of an ionic TLCP (thermotropic liquid crystal polymer).
Background
The metal injection molding is a molding method for injecting a mixture of metal powder and a binder thereof into a mold, and has the advantages of high material utilization rate, capability of integrally molding parts with complex structures, high molding efficiency and the like. The adhesive performance of the feeding is an important factor affecting the metal injection molding product, and generally thermoplastic resin, gel-based and wax-based substances are mainly adopted, wherein the thermoplastic resin has high strength and strong powder grabbing capability as a main filler, so that the uniformity and the processability are good, the high-temperature and rapid solidification can be realized, the injection molding efficiency is improved, and the main-stream adhesive gradually becomes a main-stream adhesive component. TLCP (thermotropic liquid crystal polymer) is a class of high performance liquid crystal polymer materials with a broad liquid crystal window. In the injection process, under the action of stress, TLCP liquid crystal molecular chains are aligned along the flow field direction, and are arranged to form a highly aligned condensed structure. This structure gives the feed excellent overall properties in the direction of injection: low linear expansion coefficient, good processability, high strength, high modulus, high toughness and other mechanical properties. In the processing process of blending and compounding with other adhesives, under the action of external force, molecular chains are aligned along the flowing direction, so that the processing viscosity is reduced, the shrinkage rate of the product in the forming process is small, flash is not easy to generate, the rejection rate is low, the precision of the finished product is high, and meanwhile, the loss of equipment in the polymer processing engineering is reduced. Meanwhile, the ionic groups introduced in the TLCP molecular chain play a role in interfacial compatibilization, and stabilize a feeding system.
The invention aims at the optimal design of the feed formula and the production process of the injection molding high-fluidity superfine metal powder, adopts TLCP mixed addition, improves the comprehensive processing performance of the feed, and ensures the high yield of injection molding.
Disclosure of Invention
In order to overcome the defects in the prior art, the invention provides a forming method for injecting a mixture of metal powder and a binder thereof into a mold, which has the advantages of high material utilization rate, capability of integrally forming parts with complex structures, high forming efficiency and the like.
The key steps of the technical scheme adopted by the invention are as follows:
1. synthesis of TLCP
The liquid crystal polymer with ionic group is formed by polycondensation of one or several of diol, diphenol or diamine and intermediate with ionic group, and the TLCP is organic polymer formed by R1, R2 and R3 in the molar ratio of (30-48): 2-20): 50 and R.
Wherein R1 isExpressed building blocks and/or +.>The structural unit represented by R2 is +.>Represented structural units or->Represented structural unit, R3 isAnd R is aromatic hydrocarbon or alkane.
The diphenol is one or more of the following structural formulas:
wherein a=1 to 2.
The diol has the following structural formula:
wherein b=2 to 12.
The diamine is one or more of the following structural formulas:
wherein c=1 to 3 and d=2 to 12.
The acyl chloride isAnd/or +.>Wherein n=1 to 3, m=2 to 12.
The preparation method of the liquid crystal polymer with the ionic group comprises the following steps:
(1) Weighing 1-20% of monomer with ionic groups, 50% of acyl chloride and the balance of one or more of diol, diphenol or diamine according to a molar ratio for later use;
(2) Dissolving one or more of diol, diphenol or diamine, and monomer with ionic group in solvent, wherein the solvent is one of DMF, THF, acetonitrile, ethyl acetate or DMSO, to obtain mixed solution A;
(3) Adding an acid binding agent into the mixed solution A to obtain a mixed solution B;
(4) Dissolving acyl chloride in the same solvent used in the step (2), slowly dripping the acyl chloride into the mixed solution B, uniformly stirring, slowly heating to 60-120 ℃, and reacting for 12-36 h to obtain a mixed solution C;
(5) Adding alcohol substances into the mixed solution C to separate out solids, and washing, filtering and drying for multiple times to obtain the liquid crystal polymer with ionic groups.
Wherein DMF is N, N dimethylformamide; THF is tetrahydrofuran; DMSO is dimethyl sulfoxide; the acid binding agent can be or, and the alcohol substance can be ethanol; the preferred molar ratio of monomers with ionic groups in step (1) is from 5 to 16%. Since the reaction for synthesizing the liquid crystal polymer of the present invention is a polycondensation reaction, the sum of the molar numbers of the alcoholic hydroxyl group, the phenolic hydroxyl group and the amino group in the reaction should be the same as the molar number of the acid chloride in the above-mentioned production method to achieve a higher weight average molecular weight.
2. Banburying and mixing
The addition amount of TLCP is not high and thus is not suitable in the case of using a large-scale blending apparatus (uniform dispersion of TLCP in thermoplastic adhesive can be obtained by one or more blending operations). At least one binder is first mixed with a sufficient amount of TLCP in an internal mixer to form a mixture a containing more than 2% TLCP. More binder was then added to the masterbatch by twin screw extrusion, the amount of addition being calculated to control the TLCP content in the final product. The formation of the feed pellets is a process of diluting the concentration of TLCP in the binder system to the desired concentration, while in the molten state at extrusion, where TLCP is in the liquid state. The feed formation step and subsequent dilution may be repeated if desired. The dilution process can be performed in steps in which the concentration of TLCP in the blend can be continuously reduced by adding a binder to the blend. While the actual conditions for the blending of the adhesive and TLCP will vary with the nature of the actual component, the basic sequence of processing is independent of the component. First, TLCP is blended at a temperature at which the binder is in a molten state and TLCP is in a solid state to produce a mixture. The proportion of TLCP in the initial mixture is variable, i.e. the relative amounts of adhesive and LCP are variable. The adhesive and LCP are then further processed with the former melting and the latter being in the liquid crystalline state, and a feed of TLCP uniformly dispersed in the adhesive system is produced.
When the adhesive and TLCP are blended in the molten state of the adhesive and the LCP is in the liquid crystal state, the processing parameters vary with the properties of the mixing ingredients, the relative amounts of each, the type and size of the mixing equipment, and the effective shear rate. However, at the optimum blending temperature, less torque is required to mix or extrude the feed than is required to mix or extrude the adhesive alone.
3. Granulating injection
And injecting the plastic-increasing mixture of the alloy metal powder and the binder thereof into a mould for forming by adopting metal injection forming MIM (Metal injection Molding), and sintering to obtain a final product.
The product production is completed in eight steps as shown in fig. 4. The selected powder is first matched to the binder. The powder and the binder are mixed and banburying to become a feed. The mixture is then granulated and injection molded into the desired shape. After the binder is removed after forming, the degreased blank is sintered. And finally, carrying out densification treatment, heat treatment or machining on the sintered product to obtain the final product.
The sintered product has the same complex shape and high precision as the product obtained by the plastic injection molding method, and has physical, chemical and mechanical properties close to those of the forging.

Detailed Description
The invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Example 1
Example 1 preparation of feed POM (polyoxymethylene), WAX (paraffin WAX), HDPE (high density polyethylene), LDPE (low density polyethylene), PP (polypropylene) and TLCP were taken. POM (polyoxymethylene), WAX (paraffin WAX), HDPE (high density polyethylene), LDPE (low density polyethylene), PP (polypropylene) are dried under vacuum for about 24 hours, and the raw materials are all rectangular parallelepiped granules of about 0.1X0.1X0.5 cm.
Manual mixing was performed as dry pellets of POM (polyoxymethylene)/WAX (paraffin WAX)/HDPE (high density polyethylene) in a weight ratio of 7:1:2, which was then added to an internal mixer, slowly added to 20% wt TLCP, and mixed at 120℃for 30min to form mixture A.
Adding A into an extrusion mixer, continuously adding POM, and reducing the TLCP content to 10%. The extruder was maintained at 170℃and the high shear mixing screw speed was 30rpm, the length to diameter ratio of the extruder was 25, and the ports were equipped with a head assembly and a cutter assembly for continuously producing strands. The masterbatch was immediately cut into pellets of about 0.1X0.1X0.5 cm in size as it was extruded through a die,
then pass through the extruder a second time under similar conditions as the first time to reduce the TLCP content to 5% and collect the pellets again. It can be seen that the TLCP is substantially uniformly dispersed throughout the adhesive system matrix, characterized by substantially no noticeable (non-macroscopic) TLCP pieces on the surface of the pellet, and the adhesive material exhibits little or no noticeable degradation. The amount of torque required to extrude the adhesive and TLCP compound is less than the amount of torque required to extrude the adhesive alone.
