Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the use of a mixed powder for powder metallurgy as a feedstock of a green compact having an adequate density and strength even before the sintering process and having an excellent machinability.
  • a powder metallurgy is a technology used for producing machine parts and oil-impregnated bearings from a metal powder. Since highly accurate products can be efficiently mass-produced, the powder metallurgy is indispensable particularly in the automobile industry and the like.
  • this powder metallurgy in general, a mixed powder including a metal powder is molded by compression and the resultant green compact is then dewaxed. Subsequently, for example, in an iron-based powder metallurgy, the compact is sintered at a temperature of about 1,000°C to about 1,300°C. In this sintering process, the mixed metal powder forms an alloy, thereby increasing the strength of the compact. A cutting operation is then performed on the resultant sintered compact.
  • Such a sintered compact has an excessively high strength from the viewpoint of a cutting operation. Furthermore, the lifetime of a cutting tool used is shortened because of the high strength of the sintered compact.
  • a green compact cannot be subjected to a cutting operation prior to sintering because the green compact is brittle. Accordingly, a technology is desired by which the strength of a green compact prior to the sintering process is increased, so that the green compact can subsequently be subjected to a cutting operation and finally sintered.
  • a document by Tianjun Liu et al. discloses an example of such a technology.
  • a polymer lubricant is added to a mixed powder, which constitutes a feedstock, and a green compact made of the resultant mixed powder is heated at a temperature lower than the sintering temperature. Consequently, the strength of the compact can be increased only by this heat treatment and thus a cutting operation can be performed prior to the sintering process.
  • the fluidity of the mixed powder is one of its important characteristics.
  • a low fluidity of a mixed powder causes the following problems. For example, a bulging can occur at the upper part of a discharging hole of a hopper, resulting in a discharge failure. Also, the mixed powder can become clogged in a hose connecting from the hopper to a shoe box. Furthermore, even if a mixed powder having a low fluidity is compulsorily discharged from the hose, the powder may not satisfactorily fill a die, in particular, a die having thin walls. Consequently, a satisfactory compact may not be formed. For these reasons, a raw powder for powder metallurgy having excellent fluidity has been strongly desired.
  • thermosetting resin is added to a magnetic powder or the like, and a heat treatment is then performed.
  • a compact is cured without sintering while the magnetic properties of the compact are ensured.
  • the resultant compact is used without further treatment. Accordingly, this manufacturing technology of a bonded magnet may be applied to the powder metallurgy.
  • known manufacturing technologies of bonded magnets cannot be applied to the powder metallurgy as they are.
  • Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication Nos. 4-284602 paragraph No. 0007, and Examples
  • 6-112022 paragraph Nos. 0015 and 0016, and Examples
  • 6-188137 paragraph Nos. 0015 and 0020, and Examples
  • 8-31677 paragraph Nos. 0031 and 0033, and Examples
  • the type and the particle diameter of the thermosetting resin are not studied in detail because these technologies relate to a bonded magnet and their objects are different from the object of the present invention.
  • thermosetting resin is relatively large from the viewpoint of application to the powder metallurgy.
  • the content of a thermosetting resin binder is 0.5 to 4 mass percent based on an alloy.
  • 0.5 to 5 parts by weight (in particular, 1 to 3 parts by weight) of a thermosetting resin is added to 100 parts by weight of a magnetic powder.
  • the amount of a thermosetting resin relative to the total amount of an alloy powder is 2 mass percent or more. According to investigations made by the inventors of the present invention, when a thermosetting resin is excessively added to a mixed powder for powder metallurgy, the fluidity of the powder and the density of the green compact are decreased.
  • the compounding ratio of the epoxy resin powder to the magnetic powder is 0.1 to 0.5 mass percent.
  • An inorganic additive is added to the mixed powder in order to suppress the abrasion with a die during molding.
  • a component that improves the strength or machinability of the compact is not considered.
  • the content of this inorganic additive is very small (20 to 40 mass percent of the total amount of the resin binder, 0.02 to 0.2 mass percent of the total amount of the magnetic powder). Therefore, even if the inorganic additive has a function of enhancing the strength of the compact or the like, the function may not be fulfilled in such a small content.
  • US-A-5980603 discloses the use of a thermosetting resin for producing pressed and cured parts.
  • the inventors of the present invention have extensively studied, in particular, the composition of a mixed powder for powder metallurgy and found the following: When a component for improving mechanical properties and a thermosetting resin powder are added to a base powder, and in addition, an appropriate thermosetting resin powder is used, a green compact having an adequate density and strength can be produced.
  • the present invention has been made on the basis of this finding.
  • a mixed powder for powder metallurgy is used as a feedstock of a green compact, and the mixed powder includes an iron powder and/or an iron alloy powder, a component for improving mechanical properties, and a thermosetting resin powder.
  • the thermosetting resin powder is composed of at least one resin selected from the group consisting of an epoxy-polyester-based resin, an epoxy-based resin, and an acrylic-based resin.
  • the average particle diameter of the thermosetting resin powder is 100 ⁇ m or less
  • the content of the thermosetting resin powder relative to the total amount of the iron powder and/or the iron alloy powder is 0.05 to 1.0 mass percent.
  • the mixed powder for powder metallurgy preferably further includes a lubricant.
  • a lubricant can decrease the coefficient of friction between the green compact and a die. As a result, the generation of die galling and damage of the die can be suppressed.
  • the lubricant is preferably at least one compound selected from the group consisting of ethylenebisstearamide, stearamide, zinc stearate, and lithium stearate. This is because these compounds are excellent as an additional component of the mixed powder for powder metallurgy.
  • the component for improving mechanical properties is at least one substance selected from the group consisting of copper, nickel, chromium, molybdenum, graphite, and manganese sulfide. This is because these substances are diffused into the iron powder or the like during the sintering process. Consequently, the hardness or the toughness of the compact can be improved or the machinability of the compact can be improved.
  • a green compact obtained by the method of the present invention is made of the above-described mixed powder for powder metallurgy.
  • the mixed powder for powder metallurgy used by the present invention has excellent fluidity and the like and provides an excellent productivity. Furthermore, since a green compact using this mixed powder as a feedstock has an adequate density and strength even before sintering, the green compact can be subjected to a cutting operation. In addition, since the green compact does not have an excessively high strength, the lifetime of a cutting tool used can be extended. Accordingly, the mixed powder for powder metallurgy used by the present invention and the green compact using the mixed powder as a feedstock are excellent for industrial application from the viewpoint that the productivity of powder metallurgy can be improved.
  • a mixed powder for powder metallurgy used by the present invention includes an iron powder and/or an iron alloy powder, a component for improving mechanical properties, and a thermosetting resin powder.
  • the thermosetting resin powder is composed of at least one resin selected from the group consisting of an epoxy-polyester-based resin, an epoxy-based resin, and an acrylic-based resin; the average particle diameter of the thermosetting resin powder is 100 ⁇ m or less; and the content of the thermosetting resin powder relative to the total amount of the iron powder and/or the iron alloy powder is 0.05 to 1.0 mass percent.
  • the component for improving mechanical properties is added in order to improve the mechanical properties such as the hardness and the toughness of a compact or to improve the machinability of the compact by diffusing into a base iron powder or the like during the sintering process.
  • the component for improving mechanical properties include metal powders used for alloys such as copper, nickel, chromium, and molybdenum powders; and inorganic powders such as graphite and manganese sulfide powders. These components may be used alone or in combinations of two or more powders.
  • the component for improving mechanical properties may be mixed with an iron powder or the like when used. Alternatively, for example, graphite may be uniformly adhered to an iron powder or the like with a binder therebetween when used.
  • the content of metal powder used for alloys serving as a component for improving mechanical properties is 0.1 to 4 mass percent (hereinafter, unless otherwise stated, the "mass percent” is simply represented by "%") relative to the total amount of a base iron powder or the like. At a content of less than 0.1%, a satisfactory improvement of mechanical properties may not be achieved because of a small amount of diffusion in the base powder. On the other hand, at a content exceeding 4%, the improvement of mechanical properties is also decreased. In addition, at such an excessively high content, a green compact having a satisfactory density may not be produced because the compressibility is impaired.
  • the content of inorganic powder such as graphite is 0.1% to 1% relative to the total amount of a base iron powder or the like. At a content of less than 0.1%, the improvement may not be satisfactory. At a content exceeding 1%, the mechanical properties may be impaired.
  • thermosetting resin powder used by the present invention is cured on the surface or inside of a green compact by a simple heat treatment to increase the bonding strength between base iron particles or the like. As a result, even prior to the sintering process, a cutting operation can be performed.
  • the material of the thermosetting resin powder of the present invention mainly include (1) epoxy-polyester-based resins, (2) epoxy-based resins, (3) acrylic-based resins, and (4) mixtures including at least two of these.
  • thermosetting resin powder is not a liquid but must be a powder because it must exhibit fluidity during the production process of a green compact. Accordingly, powder coatings that do not include a pigment and are colorless (i.e., clear powder coatings) can be used for the thermosetting resin powder.
  • epoxy-polyester-based resin refers to an epoxy-group-containing resin crosslinked with a carboxylic-acid-group-containing polyester resin serving as a curing agent.
