(b) Conventional technology In order to improve the corrosion resistance and wear resistance of the cylinder of a resin processing machine, a lining layer is sometimes provided. A cylinder provided with such a lining layer is especially necessary for processing resins mixed with ceramics, glass fibers, asbestos, etc., or resins to which flame retardants are added. As a method for providing a lining layer on a twin-screw cylinder for an extrusion molding machine, there is a method disclosed in JP-A-61-154756, for example. That is, cores having a smaller diameter than the through holes are provided in the four through holes of the cylinder body rough material, and a corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant alloy, which is a lining material, is injected in a molten state into the gap formed by these cores.

(c) Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, the above method has problems in that the yield of the lining material is poor, the number of processing steps is large, and the manufacturing cost is high. In other words, in order to obtain a healthy lining layer by injecting the molten metal of the lining material, the diameter of the core must be made small to ensure a sufficient thickness of the lining layer, and the unsound parts of the lining layer must be removed by machining. It is necessary to do so. Furthermore, as the axial dimension of the cylinder body material increases, the feeder portion must be made larger to ensure the integrity of the lining layer, and the amount of lining material used also increases in this respect.

In order to solve these problems, the present applicant, in Japanese Patent Application No. 61-265541, filled the space between the through hole of the cylinder body material and the core with metal powder, and heated the metal powder. A method was shown in which the material is melted by cooling and then solidified by cooling. However, even in this method, shrinkage occurs when melting the metal powder, so a riser is required, although the shrinkage is reduced compared to the above-mentioned conventional technique. In addition, during solidification, solidification is performed gradually from the bottom side to form a healthy 2r layer, but care must be taken to control the solidification rate, and if this control is insufficient, The organization becomes heterogeneous. The present invention aims to solve these problems.

(d) Means for solving the problem The present invention fills the gap between the through hole of the cylinder 11M rough material and the hollow metal insert with metal powder for sintering, and then performs hot isostatic pressure treatment. The above-mentioned problems are solved by sintering. That is, the method for manufacturing a lined cylinder according to the present invention includes providing an axial through hole in the cylinder body material, installing a hollow metal insert having an inner and outer peripheral shape corresponding to the shape of the lining layer in the through hole, The gap formed between the through hole and the outer periphery of the metal insert is filled with metal powder for sintering, and the metal powder-filled part is sealed by joining sealing plates to both ends of the cylinder body material, and then heated. The metal powder is sintered and integrated with the cylinder body material by isostatic pressure treatment, and then the metal insert and sealing plate are removed by machining to form the inner surface of the shell hole in the cylinder body material. Form a lining layer.

Since the lining layer thus obtained is made by sintering metal powder, the structure is very homogeneous and the relative density is approximately 100%. Therefore, the machining allowance for the lining layer is sufficient to absorb errors when installing the metal insert 18, and the yield of the lining material is extremely high. In addition, machining after sintering involves removing the hollow metal insert 18 and sealing plate 16.
It is simple and economical, since only 24 and 24 need to be removed. Also, less material is required for the metal insert 18.
