Definitions

  • This invention relates to ferrous powders and, in particular, to the compaction of such materials to form metal composite parts using powder metallurgy.
  • metal powders are pressed in a-die cavity to form a green compact which is then heat treated to form a metal composite part.
  • P/M powder metallurgy
  • a considerable amount of friction is generated between the metal powders and the surfaces defining the die cavity, causing both adhesive wear on the die surfaces and breakage of the green compact when it is released from the die cavity.
  • lubricants have been previously added to the metal powder mixture. These are generally referred to as internal lubricants since they are dispersed throughout the portion of metal powders to be compacted.
  • wet lubricants have not been used successfully since they promote clumping of the metal powder, thereby precluding the good flow characteristics normally desired of P/M materials. Dry lubricants have been used successfully since they are non-binding, and do not affect flow characteristics. Dry lubricants typically function by melting due to the pressure and temperature employed during compaction, thereby allowing the melted lubricant to flow. However, one consequence of the inclusion of any internal lubricant in the metal powder formulation is that the attainable final density and the strength of the metal composite part thus produced are less than theoretically possible when no lubricant is added.
  • Prior attempts to eliminate the inclusion of internal lubricant in the metal powder composition focused on spraying lubricants in liquid form on the die wall.
  • these lubricants included both liquid lubricants and dry lubricants that were dispersed in solvents.
  • drawbacks in the size and shape of the green compact arise due both to poor metering and distribution of liquid applied to the die wall.
  • use of dispersed dry lubricants poses numerous health, safety and environmental hazards due to the presence of volatile solvents. While the present inventors believed that it would have been useful to directly apply dry lubricants to the die wall surfaces, no apparatus or method for doing so was previously available.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus capable of uniformly spraying a dry or wet lubricating material onto a die surface.
  • a novel method of making a metal composite part by powder metallurgy wherein the metal powder composition is pressed in a die cavity whose wall surfaces have been lubricated by electrostatically spraying lubricants in either dry or liquid form.
  • This method eliminates the need to include an internal lubricant in the powder metallurgy composition resulting in a metal composite part having greater density and strength.
  • dry lubricants may be employed without being dispersed in volatile solvents, the present invention is environmentally safe.
  • an apparatus for spraying a wet or dry lubricating material comprising: spraying means for spraying the lubricating material; charging means for applying an electrical charge to the lubricating material; and means for imparting a reversing potential to an electrode disposed on a powder metallurgy die.
  • the potential causes an electrical attraction to take place between the charged lubricating material and the powder metallurgy die.
  • the present invention provides a method for making a green compact comprising: providing a die having a cavity defined by wall surfaces; selecting a metal powder composition suitable for powder metallurgy; electrostatically spraying a lubricant on the wall surfaces of said die; filling the die cavity with the metal powder composition; and compacting said metal powder composition in said die to form a green compact.
  • the present invention relates to a process for making a metal composite part comprising: providing a die having a cavity defined by wall surfaces; selecting a metal powder composition suitable for powder metallurgy; electrostatically spraying a lubricant on the wall surfaces of said die; filling the die cavity with the metal powder composition; compacting said metal powder composition in said die to form green compact; removing said green compact from the die; and sintering said green compact to form said metal composite part.
  • the die cavity and the metal powder composition may be preheated to a high temperature of up to 700°F prior to the compacting step.
  • the metal powder composition may be electrostatically charged, such as with triboelectric charging.
  • the present invention relates to a powder metallurgy apparatus comprising: means for receiving a die having a die cavity; spraying means for spraying lubricating material into said die cavity; charging means for applying an electrical charge to the lubricating material; and means for imparting a potential to an electrode disposed adjacent to said die cavity.
  • the lubricant is electrostatically applied to the wall surfaces of the die in either liquid or solid form. More specifically, the lubricant is electrostatically applied in the form of an aerosol of fine liquid droplets or solid particles.
  • the liquid droplets or solid particles have a size of 100 microns or less, more preferably 50 microns or less and most preferably 15 microns or less.
  • a thin lubricating coating can be applied quickly and uniformly on die wall surfaces which are at least partially conducting.
  • the electrostatically sprayed droplets or particles are drawn to and held on the wall surfaces by image forces which are induced by the approaching charged particle.
  • the same forces, combined with the space charge of the cloud of droplets or particles, allow the droplets or particles to wrap around corners so as to cover all parts of the wall surfaces.
  • the coating is uniform because the charge retained on previously deposited particles tends to deflect incoming particles or droplets to uncovered sites.
  • Suitable apparatus for electrostatically applying lubricating materials in conformity with the present invention include, for example the following components: a nozzle for spraying a solid or liquid lubricant; a substrate which constitutes a P/M die disposed beneath the nozzle and a polarity reversing DC high-tension power source.
  • lubricant is sprayed from the nozzle and is provided with a triboelectric charge.
  • the die is connected to ground, electrical attraction acts between the lubricating material and the die, and the lubricant reaches the P/M die to be deposited thereon.
  • a reversible DC voltage of from 100 V-50 kV is applied to an electrode which is electrically isolated from the die to enhance the attraction of the unipolarly charged lubricant to the die.
  • the lubricants that can be electrostatically sprayed in accordance with the present invention ideally have a low electrical conductivity and sufficient resistivity so that the charges are retained in the deposited droplets or particles for a sufficient period of time to ensure adherence to the die wall surfaces.
  • the lubricants can be in either dry or liquid forms.
  • Suitable dry lubricants include metal stearates, such as zinc stearate, lithium stearate, and calcium stearate, ethylene bistearamide, polyolefin-based fatty acids, polyethylene-based fatty acids, soaps, molybdenum disulfide, graphite, manganese sulfide, calcium oxide, boron nitride, polytetrafluoroethylene and natural and synthetic waxes.
  • metal stearates such as zinc stearate, lithium stearate, and calcium stearate
  • ethylene bistearamide polyolefin-based fatty acids, polyethylene-based fatty acids, soaps, molybdenum disulfide, graphite, manganese sulfide, calcium oxide, boron nitride, polytetrafluoroethylene and natural and synthetic waxes.
  • ethylene bistearamide such as that sold commercially by L
  • Suitable liquid lubricants include liquid-dispersed solid lubricants discussed above; oil-based lubricants such as petroleum oils, silicone oils, and hydrocarbon oils; solvent-based lubricants such as polyglycols and polyphenyl ethers; and water-based lubricants such as soaps and aqueous wax emulsions.
  • All solid and liquid lubricants may be used as single component lubricants, or may be used in admixtures of two or more lubricants. Additionally, solid and wet lubricants of various types may be used in any combination as may be desired.
  • lubricant in solid particle or liquid droplet form is ejected from nozzle which is preferably provided by a Tribogun®.
  • the solid lubricant particles may be sprayed dry or, if desired, dispersed in any suitable solvent or solvent system.
  • the solid lubricant particles or liquid lubricant droplets may be ejected in air, or in another dispersant such as isopropyl alcohol, n-hexane, butane, Freon® fluorinated hydrocarbon (trademark of E. I. Du Pont de Nemours & Co.) and the like. If a dispersant other than air is used as a medium for dispersing solid lubricant particles or liquid lubricant droplets, the dispersant is allowed to subsequently evaporate.
  • the lubricant particles or droplets are electrostatically sprayed to a thickness such that the ejection pressure required to eject the green compact is minimized.
  • the thickness can be varied to achieve desirable ejection forces to the extent that it does not affect P/M properties.
  • the type of metal powder composition used in the present invention may be any conventional metal powder composition, including but not limited to iron, steel, or steel alloyed powders.
  • Typical iron powders are the Atomet® iron powders manufactured by Quebec Metal Powders Limited (QMP) of Tracy, Quebec, Canada, the assignee of the present invention.
  • Typical steel or steel alloyed powders include Atomet® 1001, 1001 HP, 4201, 4401, and 4601 manufactured by QMP.
  • the metal powder generally has a maximum particle size of less than about 300 microns, preferably less than about 212 microns.
  • the metal powder may also be bound with a suitable binder such as those disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos. 3,846,126; 3,988,524; 4,062,678; 4,834,800; and 5,069,714, the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated by reference. Those skilled in the art readily will be able to identify alternative or equivalent metal powders.
  • the lubricant should be electrostatically charged, such as by triboelectric charging.
  • the lubricant may be so charged by passing the composition on a puff of air through a coiled Teflon tube.
  • the charge-to-mass ratio of the triboelectrically charged lubricant should be above 0.2 ⁇ C/g, generally above 0.6 ⁇ C/g, with a charge-to-mass ratio of greater than about 1.2 ⁇ C/g being preferred.
  • the polarity of the charge-to-mass ratio may vary depending upon the materials selected.
  • the total charge of the charged lubricant may be measured with an electrometer.
  • the charge-to-mass ratio may be measured by collecting the charged lubricant in a double Faraday pail. The mass of the composition charged is readily determined by carefully removing all powder collected in the Faraday pail and weighing on a standard balance with a sensitivity of 1 mg.)
  • the metal powder composition is compacted in a die 4 of any desired shape.
  • the die may be adapted to include warm pressing and any configuration to achieve near net shape compaction and to facilitate ejection from the die cavity.
  • Compaction can be conducted with any process, including warm pressing and cold pressing.
  • warm pressing is conducted at a pressure of about 30 to 60 tsi (tons per square inch) and at a temperature of about 50 to 300°C and cold pressing is conducted at a pressure of about 15 to 60 tsi and at a temperature of about 15 to 50°C.
  • the green compact After the green compact is ejected from the die cavity, it is sintered to form the metal composite part. Any conventional sintering process can be employed to form the metal composite part according to the present invention. Preferably, sintering is conducted at a temperature of 1,000 to 1,300°C and for a period of 10 to 60 minutes. Since the green compact may preferably omit all internal lubricant, the sintering may include induction heating. In this event, presintering may be omitted.
