見せている。<Prior art and its problems> Metal powder is used as a raw material, and it is filled into a pressing die, and the compact that has been compression-molded is further heated and sintered, thereby eliminating the machining process and forming the product at once. Powder metallurgy is a suitable technology for the production of materials and porous parts that are difficult to melt, or for parts that are difficult to finish due to complicated shapes, etc., and its application field is expanding more and more.

合が多い。By the way, among the various powder metallurgy raw materials currently used, “copper powder” is an indispensable raw material for the production of oil-impregnated bearings, etc. It is the second largest. In the field of manufacturing such oil-impregnated bearings, copper powder or copper-based powder (for example, copper alloy powder such as bronze) is often used.
In many cases, one or more other alloy element powders are further added and mixed, and after compression molding, sintered to obtain a product in many cases.

て問題になっていた。However, copper powder or copper-based powder generally tends to have a difference in density, particle size, particle shape, etc. from other alloying element powders. However, it has been a problem that separation phenomena such as segregation and dust generation are likely to occur during subsequent refilling work, transportation, molding, and the like.

問題を有していた。However, conventionally, in order to prevent such a separation phenomenon, a method of mechanically mixing white kerosene, spindle oil, or the like into the above-mentioned mixed composition to wet the powder with oil has been taken. However, in this method, a sufficient effect cannot be obtained because the bonding force between the powders is weak, and a remixing step is required before molding, or until the addition of oil deteriorates the fluidity of the powder and leads to molding. Has a problem that the handleability tends to be impaired.

(A) Usually, the powder metallurgy product of copper alloy is "dendritic copper powder obtained by electrolytic method" or "60% by weight of this dendritic copper powder.
The copper-based powder (for example, tin, zinc, lead, etc. mixed with copper) containing above) and at least one kind of alloy element powder are mixed and mixed as a raw material. In particular, when a methacrylic resin composed of a methacrylic polymer or copolymer is blended into the mixed raw material, segregation and dust generation during refilling, transporting, and molding of the mixed raw material are effectively suppressed, and the fluidity of the powder raw material during molding is reduced. Is also greatly improved, and the apparent density of the product is significantly increased.

The ratio of the alloying element powder mixed with the “copper powder or powder mainly composed of copper” is generally up to 5% by weight of the total powder mixture weight, and rarely exceeds 20% by weight.

50重量%に調整するのが良い。The addition amount of the methacrylic resin is suitably in the range of 0.05 to 5.0% by weight based on the total weight of the powder mixture. Because
If the amount of the methacrylic resin is less than 0.05% by weight, the effect of improving the fluidity of the powder mixture is not sufficient. On the other hand, if the amount exceeds 5.0% by weight, the properties of the sintered body of the powder mixture tend to be adversely affected. But preferably 0.10 to 0.
Adjust to 50% by weight.

When a large pressing force is applied to the powder, the apparent density is remarkably increased because it acts to improve the fluidity of the copper-based powder composition, but the compacting properties are not significantly deteriorated. Moreover, this methacrylic resin additive
Even at a low sintering temperature of 700 to 800 ° C., it is completely thermally decomposed, so that the characteristics of the sintered body are not adversely affected.
