Definitions
- the subject invention is used for consolidating material of metallic and nonmetallic powder compositions and combinations thereof to form a more dense or fully densified compact.
- Consolidation is usually accomplished by evacuating a container and filling the container with a powder to be consolidated and thereafter hermetically sealing the container. Pressure is then applied to the filled and sealed container to subject the powder to pressure. Typically, heat is also applied to heat the powder to a compaction temperature. The combination of heat and pressure causes consolidation of the powder.
- the powder to be compacted is encapsulated in a substantially fully dense and incompressible pressure-transmitting medium which maintains its configurational integrity while being handled both at ambient temperatures 0nd at the elevated compaction temperatures, yet becomes fluidic and capable of plastic flow when pressure is applied to the entire exterior surface thereof to hydrostatically compact the powder.
- the powder is hermetically encapsulated within the pressure-transmitting medium which is thereafter heated to a temperature sufficient for compaction and densification of the powder.
- the pressure-transmitting medium with the powder therein may be placed between two dies of a press which are rapidly closed to apply pressure to the entire exterior of the pressure-transmitting medium.
- the pressure-transmitting medium at least immediately prior to a selected predetermined densification, must be fully dense and incompressible and capable of plastic flow so that the pressure transmitted to the powder is hydrostatic and, therefore, from all directions, i.e., omni-directional.
- a large mass or volume of the pressure-transmitting medium is disposed about the less than fully dense material. This has been accomplished by forming the pressure-transmitting medium of two parts, such as two metal parts, each of which has formed therein one-half of the cavity for receiving the powdered metal, such as by machining. Thereafter, the two components are mated together in a fashion to provide a hermetic seal as by welding, or the like. A passageway is formed leading to the cavity so that the cavity may be subjected to a vacuum before being filled with the powdered metal, after which the passageway is hermetically sealed.
- the subject invention is for consolidating powder material of metallic and nonmetallic compositions and combinations thereof to form a densified compact of a predetermined density wherein a quantity of such material, which is less dense than the predetermined density, is contained in a sealed container to which external pressure is applied to the entire exterior of the container to cause the predetermined densification of the material therein.
- the invention is characterized by casting a pressure-transmitting medium completely about the container to encapsulate the container in the medium with the medium being sufficiently fluid for casting and thereafter becomes rigid to retain the cast configuration while being handled and, when subjected to pressure about the entire exterior thereof, becomes substantially fully dense and incompressible and capable of plastic flow at least just prior to the predetermined densification of the compact to cause the predetermined densification of the compact by hydrostatic pressure applied to the compact by the pressure-transmitting medium.
- the container for the powder may be configured to the exact shape or configuration of the compact very easily as by stamping, or the like.
- the container can also be utilized to protect the powder therein from impurities or reactive elements which may be in the pressure-transmitting medium.
- the subject invention may be utilized for consolidating various metallic powders and nonmetallic powders, as well as combinations thereof, to form a more dense or fully densified compact, i.e., a compact of a selected predetermined densification.
- the invention relates to a method for consolidating material of metallic and nonmetallic compositions and combinations thereof to form a fully densified compact wherein a quantity of such material, which is less dense than the predetermined final density, is contained in a sealed container to which external pressure is applied to the entire exterior surface of the container to cause the predetermined densification of the powdered material within the container.
- a quantity of less dense powder 10 fills a thin-walled container 12.
- the container is evacuated by a vacuum through a tube 14 and then is filled with the powder 10 under vacuum through the tube 14. After filling, the tube 14 is sealed to hermetically seal the container 12 with the powder 10 under vacuum therein.
- the container 12 may be filled and sealed in accordance with the teachings of applicant's U.S. Patent 4,229,872 granted October 28, 1980 and assigned to the assignee of the subject invention.
- the container 12 is circular in cross section to define a cylinder and has a fill tube 14 extending upwardly from the top thereof. It will be understood, however, that the configuration of the container will depend upon the desired configuration or shape of the end part or compact.
- the container 12 with the less dense powder 10 therein is then placed in a casting mold 16 wherein a pressure-transmitting medium 18 is cast about the container 12 to encapsulate the entire container 12 and the less dense powder material 10 therein.

Abstract
A quantity of material (10), which is at less than a predetermined density, such as powdered metal, is disposed within a sealed container (12) which is, in turn, encapsulated in a pressure-transmitting medium (18) which is, in turn, placed within a pot die (20) of a press where it is restrained as a ram (24) enters the pot die (20) and applies pressure to the pressure-transmitting medium (18) to densify the material within the container into a compact of a predetermined density. The invention is characterized by placing the container (18) with the powdered metal (10) therein within a casting mold (16) and pouring the medium (18) in the fluid state into the casting mold (16) to cast the medium completely about the container (12) to encapsulate the container (12). After casting, the medium (18) becomes rigid so as to retain its cast configuration while being removed from the casting mold (16) and thereafter for being handled. The medium (18), when subjected to pressure about the entire exterior thereof, becomes substantially fully dense and incompressible and capable of plastic flow at least just prior to the predetermined densification of the compact. The densification of the compact occurs by hydrostatic pressure being applied to the compact through the fluidic medium. In most instances the medium (18), the container (12) and the material (10) are heated to a compaction temperature prior to densification.
Description
- The subject invention is used for consolidating material of metallic and nonmetallic powder compositions and combinations thereof to form a more dense or fully densified compact.
- Consolidation is usually accomplished by evacuating a container and filling the container with a powder to be consolidated and thereafter hermetically sealing the container. Pressure is then applied to the filled and sealed container to subject the powder to pressure. Typically, heat is also applied to heat the powder to a compaction temperature. The combination of heat and pressure causes consolidation of the powder.
- It is well known to place a hermetically sealed container with the powder therein in an autoclave or hot isostatic press where it is subjected to heat and gas pressure.
- Because of the expense and limitations of an autoclave or hot isostatic press, there have been significant developments made wherein the powder to be compacted is encapsulated in a substantially fully dense and incompressible pressure-transmitting medium which maintains its configurational integrity while being handled both at ambient temperatures 0nd at the elevated compaction temperatures, yet becomes fluidic and capable of plastic flow when pressure is applied to the entire exterior surface thereof to hydrostatically compact the powder. Typically, the powder is hermetically encapsulated within the pressure-transmitting medium which is thereafter heated to a temperature sufficient for compaction and densification of the powder. After being sufficiently heated, the pressure-transmitting medium with the powder therein may be placed between two dies of a press which are rapidly closed to apply pressure to the entire exterior of the pressure-transmitting medium. The pressure-transmitting medium, at least immediately prior to a selected predetermined densification, must be fully dense and incompressible and capable of plastic flow so that the pressure transmitted to the powder is hydrostatic and, therefore, from all directions, i.e., omni-directional.
- In order to obtain a densified compact, having a near net shape, i.e., the final shape has a high degree of pre- dictablity regardless of shape complexity to near finished dimensions, a large mass or volume of the pressure-transmitting medium is disposed about the less than fully dense material. This has been accomplished by forming the pressure-transmitting medium of two parts, such as two metal parts, each of which has formed therein one-half of the cavity for receiving the powdered metal, such as by machining. Thereafter, the two components are mated together in a fashion to provide a hermetic seal as by welding, or the like. A passageway is formed leading to the cavity so that the cavity may be subjected to a vacuum before being filled with the powdered metal, after which the passageway is hermetically sealed.
- The subject invention is for consolidating powder material of metallic and nonmetallic compositions and combinations thereof to form a densified compact of a predetermined density wherein a quantity of such material, which is less dense than the predetermined density, is contained in a sealed container to which external pressure is applied to the entire exterior of the container to cause the predetermined densification of the material therein. The invention is characterized by casting a pressure-transmitting medium completely about the container to encapsulate the container in the medium with the medium being sufficiently fluid for casting and thereafter becomes rigid to retain the cast configuration while being handled and, when subjected to pressure about the entire exterior thereof, becomes substantially fully dense and incompressible and capable of plastic flow at least just prior to the predetermined densification of the compact to cause the predetermined densification of the compact by hydrostatic pressure applied to the compact by the pressure-transmitting medium.
- By casting the pressure-transmitting medium about a container containing the powdered metal to be compacted, there are no requirements for machining precise cavities in components which later are mated together to form the pressure-transmitting medium, nor are there any problems in mating the components together to form a hermetic seal. The container for the powder may be configured to the exact shape or configuration of the compact very easily as by stamping, or the like. The container can also be utilized to protect the powder therein from impurities or reactive elements which may be in the pressure-transmitting medium.
- Other advantages of the present invention will be readily appreciated as the same becomes better understood by reference to the following detailed description when considered in connection with the accompanying drawings wherein:
- FIGURE 1 is a cross-sectional view of a container filled with less than fully dense powdered material;
- FIGURE 2 shows the container of FIGURE 1 disposed in a casting mold with the pressure-transmitting medium cast thereabout; and
- FIGURE 3 is a cross-sectional view of the pressure-transmitting medium encapsulating the compact after full densification between a pot die and a ram of a press.
- The subject invention may be utilized for consolidating various metallic powders and nonmetallic powders, as well as combinations thereof, to form a more dense or fully densified compact, i.e., a compact of a selected predetermined densification.
- The invention relates to a method for consolidating material of metallic and nonmetallic compositions and combinations thereof to form a fully densified compact wherein a quantity of such material, which is less dense than the predetermined final density, is contained in a sealed container to which external pressure is applied to the entire exterior surface of the container to cause the predetermined densification of the powdered material within the container.
- As the invention is illustrated, a quantity of less dense powder 10 fills a thin-
walled container 12. The container is evacuated by a vacuum through atube 14 and then is filled with the powder 10 under vacuum through thetube 14. After filling, thetube 14 is sealed to hermetically seal thecontainer 12 with the powder 10 under vacuum therein. Thecontainer 12 may be filled and sealed in accordance with the teachings of applicant's U.S. Patent 4,229,872 granted October 28, 1980 and assigned to the assignee of the subject invention. Thecontainer 12 is circular in cross section to define a cylinder and has afill tube 14 extending upwardly from the top thereof. It will be understood, however, that the configuration of the container will depend upon the desired configuration or shape of the end part or compact. - The
container 12 with the less dense powder 10 therein is then placed in acasting mold 16 wherein a pressure-transmittingmedium 18 is cast about thecontainer 12 to encapsulate theentire container 12 and the less dense powder material 10 therein. The pressure-transmittingmedium 18 is sufficiently fluid for casting so as to be poured into thecasting mold 16. Typically, a layer of the medium may be poured into thecasting mold 16 and then thecontainer 12 placed thereon with the remainder of the medium then being poured into the casting mold to completely encapsulate thecontainer 12. Thereafter, themedium 18 becomes rigid, as by cooling and/or curing, so that it will retain the cast configuration after it is removed from themold 16 and is handled for further processing. Themedium 18 is cast of sufficient thickness so as not to closely follow the contour of thecontainer 12. Thecontainer 12 can be of various different configurations, but typically thecast medium 18 will have a configuration that conforms closely to the interior of the pot die 20 and not necessarily to the configuration of the cavity of the container. For example, themedium 18 may define a "thick walled" container having external walls which do not closely follow the contour of the cavity in which the less dense material 10 is encapsulated. Such would be the case if thecontainer 12 were in the shape of an hourglass and encapsulated in themedium 18 having the same outer configuration as illustrated. - Sometime later the
medium 18, which encapsulates thecontainer 12 and the less dense powder 10, is placed in a press having a cup-shaped pot die 20 which hasinterior walls 22 extending upwardly from the upper extremity of themedium 18. Aram 24 of the press is moved downwardly in close sliding engagement with theinterior walls 22 to engage thepressure medium 18. Theram 24 therefore applies a force to a portion of the exterior of the pressure-transmittingmedium 18 while the pot die 20 restrains or contains the remainder of the pressure-transmittingmedium 18 so that external pressure is applied omni-directionally to the entire exterior surface of the pressure-transmittingmedium 18. When subjected to pressure about the entire exterior, the medium becomes substantially fully dense and incompressible and fluidic so as to be capable of plastic flow at least just prior to the predetermined densification of the compact 10'. The compact 10' becomes densified by hydrostatic pressure applied to the compact 10' by themedium 18. - Typically the
medium 18, thecontainer 12 and the less dense powder 10 are heated to a compaction temperature before being placed in thepot die 20. Such heat may be necessary for compaction to the predetermined and/or full densification to produce the compact 10', but also may facilitate the fluidity of the pressure-transmittingmedium 18. - The walls of the
container 12 are typically thin walls and are a substantially constant thickness. However, the less dense material 10 may be disposed in a "thick walled" container of sufficient thickness so that its exterior configuration does not closely follow the contour of the cavity and material in the container and with the container material being substantially fully dense and incompressible and capable of plastic flow to effect the predetermined densification in response to the omni-directional pressure applied to the "thick walled" container by themedium 18 in which it is encapsulated. The material of thecontainer 12 may also have substantially the same plastic flow characteristics as themedium 18 when at the compaction temperature. In other words, thecontainer 12 and the pressure-transmittingmedium 18 may act as one homogeneous fluidic-type mass which can undergo plastic flow to apply hydrostatic pressure to the powder 10 to compact and densify it into the compact 10' of a predetermined density. - Various different materials may be utilized as the
medium 18 so long as they have the characteristics whereby they may be cast about acontainer 12 and then solidify or rigidify to retain their configuration while being handled and heated to compaction temperature and placed in a press and thereafter when subjected to the forces of the press become fluidic and capable of plastic flow so as to apply hydrostatic pressure at least at the point of full densification. Examples of materials which have been found satisfactory for themedium 18 are some metals, such as copper or copper-nickel alloy, or combination materials such as a ceramic skeleton structure supporting glass therein as disclosed and claimed in application P-353 filed concurrently herewith and assigned to the assignee of the subject invention. - The invention has been described in an illustrative manner, and it is to be understood that the terminology which has been used is intended to be in the nature of words of description rather than of limitation.
- Obviously, many modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in light of the above teachings. It is, therefore, to be understood that within the scope of the appended claims wherein reference numerals are merely for convenience and are not to be in any way limiting, the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described.
