BACKGROUND ART When manufacturing a sintered body of a high-melting point metal such as tungsten or molybdenum to obtain a product such as a wire made of a sintered body of a high-melting point metal, an electric sintering method is often employed. This electrification sintering method involves molding a rod-shaped powder compact from high-melting point metal powder, attaching electrodes to both ends of the powder compact, and
By passing a current through the powder compact between both electrodes,
A sintered body is obtained by sintering using the resistance heat generated in the compact itself.

In sintering by the current sintering method, the electrodes reach a high temperature, so the electrodes are cooled, for example, with cooling water.
Therefore, both ends of the sintered body that come into contact with the electrodes are cooled by the electrodes and do not rise to the required temperature, and have sufficient sintering specific gravity (density) compared to other parts of the sintered body. I can't get it. Therefore, the density of the sintered body at both ends does not increase, and the overall quality becomes non-uniform. Moreover, when processing the sintered body, both ends of the sintered body may chip off, reducing the processing yield, or the pieces of the sintered body that have fallen off may clog the processing machine, so both ends of the sintered body are cut off. Sometimes I do.

First, as shown in FIG. 1, a rod-shaped powder compact 1' made of high melting point metal powder, ie, tungsten powder or molybdenum powder, is prepared, and electrodes 2, 2 are connected to both ends of this powder compact 1', respectively. A current is passed through the powder compact 1' between the electrodes 2, 2, and the powder compact is sintered by the resistance heat generated by this current flow, thereby obtaining a rod-shaped sintered compact 1.

Next, as shown in FIG. 2, for example, a plurality of sintered bodies 1 are bundled and transported by a feed roller 3, and the sintered bodies 1 are passed through an electric furnace 4 having a reducing atmosphere such as hydrogen gas. This electric furnace 4 heats the sintered body 1 in a low temperature range, and has the role of slowly increasing the temperature of the sintered body 1 and preheating it for high-frequency heating in a later stage. Further, this heating evaporates and removes impurity gases contained in the sintered body 1 that evaporate in a low temperature range. When heating with this electric furnace 4, the temperature is 800°C or higher when the sintered body 1 is made of tungsten, and 500°C when it is made of molybdenum.

Next, after finishing the heating in the electric furnace 4,
The sintered body 1 is transferred by a feed roller 3 to a high frequency furnace 5. Then, the end of the sintered body 1 is placed in a high-temperature part of the high-frequency furnace 5 and heated. That is, the high-frequency furnace 5 is used to heat the ends of the sintered body 1 in its high-temperature part, thereby increasing the sintering density at both ends of the sintered body 1 to the same level as the other parts. Further, this heating evaporates and removes impurity gases contained in the sintered body 1 that evaporate in a high temperature range. In this high-frequency heating, when the sintered body 1 is tungsten, it is heated at 2500 to 3000°C, and when it is molybdenum, it is heated at 1800 to 2200°C. An explanation will be added regarding heating by the high frequency furnace 5. The heat generation temperature distribution in the coil 6 provided in the high frequency furnace 5 has a characteristic that the heat generation temperature draws a curve that gradually decreases from the center to both ends of the coil 6, as shown by line A in FIG. . On the other hand, both ends of the sintered body 1 have a density distribution that draws a curve such that the specific gravity, or density, decreases toward the ends, as shown by line B in FIG. Therefore, the coil 6 of the high frequency furnace 5
Comparing the heat generation temperature distribution and the specific gravity distribution at both ends of the sintered body 1 passing through the coil 6, we find that
The relationship is such that the respective distribution curves are opposite. Therefore, the sintered body 1 is transported, and one end of the sintered body 1 having a low specific gravity (the front end in the transport direction) is stopped at a position corresponding to the part where the heat generation temperature of the coil 6 is highest. One end of the sintered body 1 is heated at the part where the exothermic temperature is highest. As a result, the specific gravity of one end of the sintered body 1 increases significantly. Next, the sintered body 1 is transported, and the other end of the sintered body 1 having a lower specific gravity (the rear end in the transport direction) is stopped at a position corresponding to the part where the heat generation temperature of the coil 6 is highest. The other end of the sintered body 1 is heated at the portion where the exothermic temperature is highest. As a result, the specific gravity of the other end of the sintered body 1 increases significantly. Therefore, both ends of the sintered body 1 are connected to the sintered body 1 as shown by the broken line portion of line B in the figure.
The sintered body 1 has a substantially uniform specific gravity throughout.
In addition, the electric furnace 4 is heated before heating by the high frequency furnace 5.
Since the sintered body 1 has been preheated and the temperature has risen to some extent, the sintered body 1 can be easily and quickly heated to the required temperature by the high frequency furnace 5. In general, high frequency furnaces have the disadvantage of poor heating efficiency and slow temperature rise in the low temperature range where the resistance of the sintered body 1 is low.
Preheating the sintered body 1 is effective in terms of heating efficiency and work speed in high-frequency heating. Further, since the impurity gas contained in the sintered body 1 is removed during heating by the electric furnace 4 and heating by the high frequency furnace 5, the content of impurities in the sintered body 1 is small and uniform.

このようにして焼結体1を高周波炉5により加

In this way, the sintered body 1 can be heated by the high frequency furnace 5 to increase the specific gravity at both ends of the sintered body 1, thereby making the entire body uniform in specific gravity.

This sintered body 1 is then supplied to a processing process for products such as wire rods. In this case, both ends of the sintered body 1 have the same specific gravity as other parts, so the ends of the sintered body may be missing, reducing the processing yield, or the missing sintered body pieces may be removed by the processing machine. can prevent clogging.

In addition, in the manufacturing method of the present invention, as shown in the above-mentioned embodiment, it is preferable to perform preheating before high-frequency heating, but the sintered body may be directly high-frequency heated, and in this case, It is also possible to increase the specific gravity at both ends of the sintered body.

As explained above, the method for producing a high melting point metal sintered body of the present invention is to heat both ends of the sintered body obtained by energizing sintering of a powder compact in the high temperature section of a high frequency furnace. The specific gravity (density) of both ends of the sintered body, which was insufficient by sintering, can be increased, and the specific gravity of the sintered body can be made uniform throughout. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a high melting point metal sintered body having uniform quality throughout, even though it is sintered by the current sintering method.
