However, in order to machine a material block in this way to manufacture a precision part, only a material having good machinability can be used as a material, and a metal such as stainless steel, tungsten, titanium, cemented carbide, or a cutting work such as ceramics. It was not possible to manufacture precision parts from difficult materials.

Conventionally, in order to manufacture a component from such a material that is difficult to cut, a raw material powder for shaping a component such as a metal or ceramic powder and a mixed powder of metal and ceramic is formed as a raw material powder. A sintering method in which this molded body is sintered into parts is widely used.

A method for producing a powder sintered product is as follows. First, a raw material powder filled in a mold is press-molded at a high pressure to form a green compact, and then the green compact is placed in a sintering furnace. A method of shaping by using so-called powder compaction has been used in which a powder sintered product is obtained by heating at a predetermined temperature and sintering.

However, in the case of molding by powder compacting, the molding directions are two directions, so the shape of the product that can be molded is limited, and only a product with an extremely simple shape can be manufactured. Of course, the powder compact can be machined. Since it does not have sufficient strength and it is difficult to machine the sintered product because it has poor machinability, it is necessary to manufacture a mold or jig for molding with a precise and complicated shape. I couldn't.

Further, in recent years, as a technique for obtaining a sintered product of metal and / or ceramic powder, a raw material powder is prepared by blending a material fine powder having a particle size of about 10 μm or less with a thermoplastic binder such as thermoplastic synthetic resin or wax. , This raw material powder is molded by injection molding in the same manner as molding of thermoplastic synthetic resin,
Next, this injection molded article is heated to melt the binder,
A so-called MIM method, which is a metal powder injection molding method, has been developed.

In order to injection mold the raw material powder with the thermoplastic binder by the MIM method, in order to improve the fluidity at the time of molding, the blending amount of this thermoplastic binder is about 10% by weight with respect to the raw material powder, and the volume is It is necessary to mix in a large amount of 50% or more, and since this large amount of thermoplastic binder is removed from the molded product by degreasing before sintering, various defects such as deformation, shrinkage, warpage, cracks, cavities, etc. It is easy to occur.

For this reason, it is possible to prevent the above-mentioned defects from occurring even if a slight modification is made in the design of the molding die, or degreasing takes a very long time of about 100 hours. Although trying, it is extremely difficult to completely prevent the above defects.

That is, since the silver body is already in the shape of a product, there is no chuck part to be attached to the machine, it is difficult to make a reference surface for processing, and it is more likely that it is made of stainless steel, tungsten, titanium or carbide. This is because materials such as various metals and ceramics are difficult to cut and cannot be machined at all.

Since it will be further deformed, it is not possible to perform precision processing such as defining the surface shape in addition to mere drilling, and brown body has extremely weak strength because the binder has been removed by degreasing It cannot be processed.

Therefore, it is very difficult to manufacture a part having a complicated shape such as a molding die or a jig by the MIM method and a true precision is required. Particularly, when the raw material powder is stainless steel, tungsten, titanium, In the case of difficult-to-cut materials such as metal such as cemented carbide and ceramics, it has been impossible to manufacture a molding die or jig.

Further, in the case of the MIM method, an extremely precisely processed expensive die must be used for forming the raw material powder, and a part to be produced such as a forming die or a jig is required.

The present invention is constructed as described above. First, metal or ceramic as a raw material is used as a powder, and the powders are bonded to each other with a thermosetting water-soluble adhesive to be hardened to form a component. Therefore, it is possible to freely select and use a material having characteristics required for a precision component such as a molding die or a jig to be manufactured.

In addition, the raw material powder for forming the precision parts is to obtain a molded body in which the powder particles are bonded with a certain degree of strength so that they can be handled in the sintering furnace as in the case of the conventional sintering method. Since it is not necessary to mold at high pressure, it is sufficient to bond the powders with each other by the bonding force of the film formed when the solvent of the water-soluble adhesive is evaporated to form a molded body.
For molding, the raw material powder can be molded at a low pressure sufficient to mold it into a block shape following a mold.

Since pressure molding is used as a method for molding the raw material powder, the water-soluble adhesive is added to the raw material powder in the same manner as in the MIM method in which injection molding is performed by utilizing the fluidity of the binder. It is not necessary to mix in a large amount, and the film formed by evaporation and drying of the solvent binds the powders to each other with moderate strength to form a powder solidified material. It only needs to be added in an amount suitable for forming.

As a result, there is no hindrance to the attachment to the processing machine, and further, the machined surface does not collapse due to insufficient strength during machining, and the adhesive is fused and peeled off the tool. It is possible to obtain a powder solidified material having a strength that allows smooth cutting without roughening the surface, that is, a strength suitable for machining.

As described above, a powder-solidified material having a strength suitable for machining can be obtained. Therefore, based on CAD design data using this material, or a model of a precision component to be manufactured is measured by a three-dimensional measuring instrument. The powder solidified precision parts can be easily obtained by processing with a three-dimensional processing machine based on the three-dimensional processing data created based on the data measured in.

The powder-solidified precision parts obtained in this manner are in an uncured state while adjusting the compounding amount of the adhesive so that they can be easily machined. Although it is not strong enough to be used as a precision part like this, if this thermosetting adhesive is in an uncured state, the powder solidified precision part is heated and the adhesive is heat-cured to obtain appropriate strength. It becomes a powder hardening precision part.

In producing the powder-hardened precision parts as described above, if the raw material powder is a fine powder having an average particle size of 30 μm or less, a high-density part having a smooth surface can be obtained.

If the amount of the adhesive compounded is too small, the strength of the powder solidified material formed by the bonding force of the film formed when the solvent of the adhesive is evaporated is too weak, and the mechanical processing is facilitated. It cannot be done, and powder-cured precision parts with strong strength cannot be obtained even if they are cured at the same time.

On the other hand, if the amount of the adhesive compounded is too large, the strength of the powder-solidified material becomes too strong, making it difficult to machine, and at the same time, as in the case of the MIM method, the adhesive is fused to the tool. However, the machined surface becomes rough and the machinability deteriorates.

On the other hand, when the compounding amount of the adhesive is 5 to 20% by volume with respect to the raw material powder, the film formed when the solvent of the adhesive evaporates exerts an appropriate bonding force to the powders. Then, when a powder solidified material suitable for machining is formed and simultaneously cured, it becomes possible to form a powder-hardened precision component having an appropriate strength, which is advantageous.

At this time, since the adhesive uses water as a solvent, which is water-soluble and does not easily evaporate, the adhesive is mixed with the raw material powder to form the raw material powder, or the raw material powder is stored before molding. The solvent does not evaporate during the operation.

Therefore, the adhesive can be mixed with the raw material powder for a sufficient time without worrying about evaporation of the solvent, so that a raw material powder uniformly mixed with the raw material powder can be obtained even if the amount of the adhesive compounded is small, When such a raw material powder is used, there is no concern about the pot life, so that molding is easy, and at the same time, a powder solidified material having uniform strength and a powder curing precision mechanical component can be formed.

The curing temperature of the thermosetting water-soluble adhesive will vary depending on the properties of the resin that serves as the vehicle. If the curing temperature is too high, the curing process will not be easy, and if the curing temperature is low, the strength of the cured product will be low. In addition to falling, the raw material powder hardens and becomes unmoldable when stored in a high temperature place, or hardens when heated to evaporate the solvent from the molded body, resulting in poor machinability. In the present invention, it is preferable to use an adhesive having a curing temperature of about 150 to 180 ° C.

Regarding the concentration of the adhesive, the more the amount of the solvent is, the easier it is to uniformly mix with the raw material powder, but it becomes difficult to evaporate and dry the solvent from the molded body, and the concentration of the adhesive in the raw material powder is also considered. Since it must be present, it is preferably about 10% by weight.

With such a composition, the raw material powder and the solution of the adhesive are mixed according to a conventional method. In this case, since the solvent is an aqueous system, there is no fear of evaporation during the mixing operation, so it takes a sufficient time. As a result, a raw material powder in which the adhesive is mixed well with the raw material powder is obtained.

If the amount of the adhesive compounded is small, it is natural that the powders cannot be strongly bonded to each other when the solidified film is formed by evaporating the solvent and when the hardened film is further formed by curing. In addition to the fact that a powder-solidified material having a strength suitable for the above cannot be obtained, the powder-solidified precision component also does not have sufficient strength.

On the other hand, if the amount of the adhesive compounded is too large, the binding force between the powders when the solvent is evaporated to form a solidified film becomes strong, and the strength of the powder solidified material is too strong to process easily, and at the same time, the binder is mixed. As in the case of the MIM method, which has a large amount, the adhesive agent is fused to the processing tool and peels off to roughen the processed surface, resulting in poor machinability.
