The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a preform made of lIl1, etc., and particularly to a method for manufacturing a preform for a metal matrix composite material suitable for manufacturing reliable products.

野で利用されている。(Prior Art) Metal matrix composite materials in which short aiIff such as whiskers or long fibers are composited in a matrix metal are attracting attention in various fields. In particular, aluminum (AJ)-based composite materials are durable, highly durable, and have excellent high-temperature properties, so they are used in a wide range of fields such as space equipment, robots, and automatic parts.

し、一部実用化されている。As methods for manufacturing this metal matrix composite material, PI dipping method, powder method, diffusion method, etc. are known. Among these, the infiltration method is a method in which a preform in which reinforcing fibers such as whiskers are accumulated is impregnated with matrix metal melt under pressure, and is suitable for mass production and has been put into practical use in some cases.

はあるが、前者のスラリー法に比べて製作時間が極めて
短かく、効率的な方法である。Conventionally, the method for manufacturing preforms used in such infiltration methods is to mix whiskers, etc. with a solvent such as water to create a slurry, inject the slurry into a mold, and remove the liquid inside the mold. A so-called slurry method in which the material is dried and a so-called press method in which a small amount of a solvent such as water is added to whiskers and the like are molded under pressure are known. Of these methods,
Although the latter pressing method has the problem of non-uniformity in that the I1m density near the pressurizing surface is higher than in areas farther from the pressurizing surface, the production time is extremely short and it is more efficient than the former slurry method. This is a great method.

さな微粉等を除去することが望ましい。By the way, in order to improve the quality of lightweight reinforced materials, it is necessary to remove impurities and cluster-like lumps (so-called lumps) contained in reinforced uAN, as well as fine powder with a small length-to-thickness ratio (aspect ratio). This is desirable.

に、プリフォーム1の外表面に割れ2が多発することが
ある。この傾向は88体積率が大きい程著しい。However, when such impurities, especially lumps, are reduced, the slipping properties of the reinforcing fibers increase, and the compressive strength of the preform becomes extremely low. Furthermore, the compressive strength of the preform is also reduced by removing impurities that can act as a binder that binds the Il fibers together. For this reason, when molding a preform using a press method using a preform with few lumps and impurities, the increase in WJ debonding of the fibers and the decrease in the bonding force between fibers makes it difficult for the press to remove the pressurized load. The amount of springback in renovation increases. Therefore, due to the difference in the amount of springback caused by the difference in fiber volume fraction at a position away from the vicinity of the pressurizing part, cracks 2 frequently occur on the outer surface of the preform 1, as shown in FIG. 4, for example. There is. This tendency becomes more pronounced as the 88 volume ratio increases.

ることがある。On the other hand, when a preform with few impurities is used, due to a decrease in the compressive strength of the preform, significant deformation or cracking occurs in the preform during the process of impregnating the preform with matrix metal by high-pressure casting. Material molded articles may contain unreinforced portions in which reinforcing fibers are not present.

中に未強化部分等の欠陥が生じるという問題があった。(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) Conventionally, when manufacturing fiber-reinforced metal matrix composite materials by high-pressure casting, using I11/Ii from which impurities etc. have been removed, cracks may occur in the preform during preform molding. However, due to the low compressive strength of the preform, large deformations and cracks occur during the matrix impregnation stage, resulting in defects such as unreinforced parts in the molded product.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a preform for a gold B-based composite material, which can produce a reinforced molded product that does not have defects such as unreinforced portions during composite formation by high-pressure casting.

。(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a preform for matrix metal impregnation by compressing and forming an aggregate of reinforcing fibers containing whiskers and other miscellaneous materials to a predetermined volume ratio. The properties of the reinforced van aggregate are different between the outer circumferential part and the inner part, and the outer circumferential aggregate is made of reinforcing mII group in which reinforcing fibers are bonded with a binder, and the inner part is reinforced with less impurities!

プリフォームの割れが生じたりすることを防止できる。(Function) By configuring the outer periphery of the preform with a binder-added aggregate, the fiber bonding force at the outer periphery of the preform is increased, and a preform with a high quality of whiskers, etc., with few impurities or lumps can be produced by the pressing method. Even when molding, the pullback is small and the compressive strength is small, which prevents cracks in the preform surface layer and cracks in the preform during the compounding process.

Furthermore, it is possible to prevent micro-cracks in the surface layer of the preform that occur during long-term storage, and also to eliminate the factors that cause large-scale cracks that occur during the later compounding process by high-pressure casting. .

This is about the case where a preform formed using a whisker is impregnated with A1 alloy (6061A) as a matrix metal under pressure.
第1図(A)〜([)はプリフォームの製造工程を順次

That is, a pressure piston 12 is inserted from the bottom of the preform mold 11 into a vertically long cylindrical shape, a thin partition cylinder 14 is inserted from the top, and the pressure piston 12 (FIG. 1(A)).

In addition to a small amount of whiskers, SiC whiskers 20 with binder added and stirred uniformly are packed between the preform mold 11 and the partition circle IP114, and SiC whiskers 21 without binder are added to the inside of the partition circle fil 14. (Figure 1 (B)). This SiC whisker 21 is initially 5
% of 5i02 present on the surface, for example, by cleaning with hydrofluoric acid, 5i02ffi is reduced to 1i1.
It is of high quality and has been reduced to about 0.

1 is the predetermined J! Compression molding until the volume ratio is reached (first stage)
Figure (D)). After molding, the SiC whisker preform 23 is taken out from the preform mold using one of the pressure pistons (FIG. 1(E)).

と縮み剛性が増大することが認められた。Figure 2 shows l#! 1 shows the results of investigating compressive deformation and fracture strength of a preform with a volume ratio of 20%. That is, the height of the preform is Lo, and the diameter is D (2L0
), and the thickness of the reinforcing part on the outer periphery of the preform is t. Then, the relationship between the amount of shrinkage ΔL due to the load W and the pressure was investigated for a plurality of samples in which α was variously changed. As a result, the buckling strength (
It was found that as the thickness t of the reinforced part with binder added increased, the instantaneous strength and shrinkage rigidity increased while the pressure) was 10 Kgf/- or less.
次に、このようにして製作したプリフォーム23を用い
た複合材料の製造方法を第3図によって説明する。まず

800℃のAI合金瀉33を金型31内に注入し、加圧
ピストン34によってAJ合金′/Q33を加圧する。Next, a method for manufacturing a composite material using the preform 23 manufactured in this way will be explained with reference to FIG. First, the preform 23 is set in a high-pressure casting mold 31, and heated by the heater 32 from the outer circumferential side of the mold 31 (FIG. 3(A)). Whole preform 23 a! degree is 600~6
The temperature is maintained at 50°C for 30 to 40 minutes, and then the AI alloy 33 at about 800°C is injected into the mold 31, and the AJ alloy'/Q33 is pressurized by the pressurizing piston 34.

スカで強化されたA1合金(6061AJ)基の複合材
料のビレット35を得る(第3図(B))。In this case, the maximum pressing force is equal to or less than the buckling compressive stress of the preform shown in FIG. When it is determined that the pressurizing piston 34 has stably stopped at a predetermined stroke and that the molten metal 33 has impregnated the entire preform 23 to form a composite, the maximum pressure is increased to 50 to eliminate unimpregnated areas (voids) of the A1 alloy.
Hold at 0-100100O/- for 5-10 minutes,
The mold 31 is cooled down. Thereafter, a billet 35 of an A1 alloy (6061AJ)-based composite material reinforced with SiC whiskers is obtained from the mold 31 (FIG. 3(B)).
このようにして成形するビレット35は、加圧ピストン
34による加圧力をプリフォーム23の座屈圧力以上と
すると、ビレット35上部にプリフォームの割れが生じ

在する。これは低い加圧力では、複雑なウィスカ交錯部
分の各内実でAノ合金溶泪の表面張力に打勝って侵透さ
せるだけの加圧力が与えられないからである。In the billet 35 formed in this way, if the pressure applied by the pressure piston 34 is greater than the buckling pressure of the preform 23, the preform will crack at the upper part of the billet 35, and the unreinforced portion that does not contain SiC whiskers will be formed. exist. On the other hand, if the pressing force is lowered to prevent this cracking, A
7 alloy 1ii33 not only does not impregnate the lowest part of the preform 23, but also there are many unimpregnated parts outside of that area. This is because a low pressure cannot provide sufficient pressure to overcome the surface tension of the A-alloy melt and penetrate into each substance of the complex intersecting portions of whiskers.
このように、ボイドが多数存在するる場合は、引張り強

ない。In this way, when a large number of voids exist, not only the tensile strength but also the fatigue and creep properties are poor, and even the strength properties of the A1 alloy, which is the matrix metal, cannot be obtained.
このような理由から、加圧ピストン34による加圧力は
高い程好ましいが、数多くの実験結果より判断して、最
小圧力として、30〜40KIf/−は必要である。For these reasons, the higher the pressure applied by the pressure piston 34, the more preferable it is, but judging from the results of numerous experiments, a minimum pressure of 30 to 40 KIf/- is necessary.
