INSTRUCTIONS OF THE INVENTION: TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a technique for manufacturing finished products (components) and semi-finished products (several articles), which are metallurgy of particulate materials (in the form of metal and non-metal powders) The composition is conformally formed and designed to be sintered, in addition to the elements of the metal structure matrix constituting the product to be formed in the sintering step, the products further comprising a solid lubricant precursor phase in the form of particles Dissociating in the sintering step, forming a solid lubricant precipitate in the volume of the metal matrix, which results in the formation of a microstructure of the self-lubricating product exhibiting a continuous metal matrix, and which can be imparted in the sintered product and the sintered component or product Low coefficient of friction related to mechanical strength and = hardness. The present invention relates to a metallurgical composition for forming a self-lubricating material during sintering, relating to a component or product obtained from a composition in a sintered steel, also for obtaining such components by powder metallurgy or The specificity of the product is another technology or method. [Prior Art] Considering the advanced stage of technology development, it is necessary to develop a functional material with high performance, which is specifically designed for each specific group of several applications. There is a need in the ::Mechanical Engineering application t' for materials that have both mechanical strength and high wear strength associated with low coefficient of friction. It is estimated that about 35% of the 幻 幻 机械 mechanical energy generated on the Earth is lost due to insufficient lubrication and it is converted into heat due to friction. In addition to the loss of heat, the heat generated by the heat will damage the performance of the _ σ 糸 mechanical system. Therefore, it is extremely important to maintain the low-thickness coefficient in the mechanical parts under the rubbing, not only for the energy economy, but also to keep the value of the small value, and (3) enter the parts and equal to the operation thereof. 144798.doc 201034773 The durability of mechanical systems, in addition to helping to protect the environment by reducing waste materials. The way to reduce wear and friction between surfaces in relative motion is to insert a lubricating layer between them to maintain such surface separation. In a viable method of sliding, fluid dynamics (fluid lubricant) is most often used. An oil film is formed in the fluid motion _ ] π, and the oil film will be in a state of relative motion. However, it should be pointed out that when the wipe is applied at a very high or very low temperature, the fluid lubricant can react chemically. The use of fluid lubricants is often problematic when and when fluid lubricants can become contaminants. Further, in the case where the lubrication is restricted by the circulation stop, or in the case where it is impossible to form the oil film, contact occurs between the members, which may cause wear of the members. Dry lubrication (i.e., the use of solid lubricants) is another option for conventional lubrication = this is due to the presence of a solid lubricating layer that prevents contact between the surfaces of the components but does not exhibit damage to the formation. „ „Solid_agents have been well received in difficult-to-solve lubrication areas, etc., under extreme temperatures, under high load conditions, and chemically reversed; use under the circumstance 'Unable to use conventional lubricants in these cases In addition, dry lubrication (solid lubricant) is a safe choice for the environment. Health = 1: bone agent can be applied to the friction pair of components, which is deposited or produced on the surface of the film (or The form of the layer, either in the second phase or layer and in which it is subject to wear:: = = when applied (four) ^ touches and thus in the unprotected relative? 0 occurs metal-metal junction t surface and relatively movable I44798.doc 201034773 is produced on the component.

By h Final metallurgy technology, which is formed by compacting, including compression, pressure, wetting and injection molding, and then sintering to obtain a continuous, usually final geometry and size (finished product) or A composite material that is close to the geometry and dimensions of the finished product (semi-finished product). A self-lubricating mechanical component that exhibits a low coefficient of friction (such as a sintered self-lubricating bushing) is a metal structural matrix that is opened/sintered with a solid state (four) agent. Powder-mixed metal powders are produced by powder metallurgy. These components have been used in a variety of household appliances and small equipment such as printers, electric razors, drills, skimmers and the like. The well-known prior art solutions for this structural matrix use bronze, @, silver and pure iron. (iv) (iv) Lubricants are: molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), silver (Ag), polytetrafluoroethylene (ptf illusion and selenization) Molybdenum (MoSe2). It has many kinds of bushings mainly composed of bronze and copper matrix, including graphite powder, selenium and molybdenum disulfide and low melting point metal as solid lubricant particles. Manufactured and used in applications for decades. However, these components do not exhibit high mechanical strength as a function of their high volume content (from 25% to 40%) of solid lubricant particles, which results in a low degree of continuous matrix phase Sexuality, the continuity of the matrix phase is the microstructural element that causes the mechanical strength of the part. It is believed to be mechanical properties in the metal matrix (strength 144798.doc 201034773

The same volume percentage of solid lubricants with inherently low shear strength is not conducive to the mechanical strength of the metal matrix. In addition, since the shearing force is generated during the step of mechanically kneading the powder mixture (in the mixer) with the compacted mixture, the solid lubricant particles are more likely to be sheared and change their shape, or even reduced. The degree of continuity of the metal structure matrix of the self-wetting composite. In addition, the low hardness of the metal matrix gradually causes solid lubricant particle clogging on the contact surface of the sintered material or product. Therefore, in order to maintain a sufficiently low coefficient of friction, a high volume percent solid lubricant is conventionally used in the composition of the dry self-wetting composite. In contrast to the prior, a partial difference and a more advanced solution are disclosed in US 6,890,368 A, which is presented at 300. <: with 600. (: used at a range of temperatures, with sufficient traction resistance W400 Mpa) and a self-wetting composite material with a friction coefficient lower than 〇3. This document proposes a solution for obtaining a component or product having a low coefficient of friction, which is sintered from a mixture of particulate materials forming a metal structure matrix, and mainly contains hexagonal nitrogen (tetra), graphite or a mixture thereof as solid lubricating in its volume. Agent particles, and it states that the material is suitable, has sufficient traction resistance (R24〇0 MPa) and a friction coefficient less than ο" used at temperatures between 300 ° C and 600 ° C as in 2008. Application on September 30th, as described in the Brazilian patent application (provisional number 018080057518) of the same applicant name 144798.doc 201034773, with the simultaneous presence of structural matrix powder and solid state lubrication such as hexagonal boron nitride and graphite The powder mixture of the powder of the agent is agglomerated to give the (four) piece or product a low mechanical strength and structural brittleness after sintering. The above-mentioned reference is missing from the fact that the solid lubricant phase between the powder particles of the structural matrix is insufficiently dispersed (dispersed) by the shearing force during the mixing and conformal (five) tight steps of the component or product to be produced. cause. The solid slip agent is interspersed between the particles of the structural matrix phase by shear and tends to surround the particles during the mixing and conforming step, the steps subjecting the solid lubricant to exceeding its low shear stress The role of stress. On the other hand, between the particles (powder) of the structural matrix, there is a solid formed by shearing (four) forming a metal contact between the particles of the structural matrix of the composite during sintering; this promotes the composite material The knot, the degree of continuity of the phase is reduced, and the problem of structurally making the material and the resulting product brittle is solved by the solution of the phase 2 of the prior Brazilian patent application mentioned above, which results in a mechanically strong shoulder. Composites that are higher than prior art solutions. However, in the previously proposed solution (4) of the same applicant as the present invention, 'a hexagonal 1_, graphite = ^: non-metallic particulate solid lubricant must be mixed in the metal material forming the composite product to be sintered, Further, it is required to add at least a kind of microparticles to form a particulate material and a non-metallic particulate solid lubricant which form a structural matrix during the sintering step of the conformal metallurgical composition. 344798.doc 201034773 = a liquid phase that causes the latter to coalesce in discrete particles and prevents non-metallic solid lubricant from being interspersed between particles of the structural matrix phase by shearing to prevent mixing and conformation of the component or product to be produced ( During compaction, the particles tend to enclose the matrix phase of the structure and embrittle the latter. In the face of the above disadvantages, it is desirable to provide that the solid lake slip agent particles are not required to be premixed in the metallurgical composition to be sintered, nor in the metallurgical composition.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a composition for forming a particulate material of sintered steel which comprises a finished product in a self-sintered sintered steel which allows itself and a high degree of continuity to form a straight structural matrix during sintering thereof. Or a semi-finished product, and a preferred distribution of solid lubricant phases produced during sintering. Also for the purposes of the present invention is to provide a product of self-lubricating sintered steel which is conformed by compaction by pressing, rolling and other powders or by injection molding, and then sintering the above defined composition Obtained, and it exhibits a high degree of continuity of the metal structure matrix, a low coefficient of friction and high mechanical strength and high hardness, and a fine lubricant distribution of graphite formed in the sintering. Still another object of the present invention is to provide a method for obtaining a product from a particulate material composition, such as the self-lubricating sintered steel as defined above, which comprises pre-mixing a solid lubricant in a metallurgical composition to be sintered. The particles, also not in the metallurgical composition, incorporate alloying elements in which a liquid phase is formed during sintering of the composition. 144798.doc 201034773 In the first aspect of the present invention, the purpose of sweeping φ, u, * 〜, ' the above-mentioned reference can be achieved by the M j, the particulate material composition of the house for producing the sputum in the self-lubricating sintered steel. It is pre-formed by the operation of compacting and injection molding the composition, and the group is set. The object includes: iron as a main particulate metal material; at least one of the particulate alloying elements having a function of hardening, forming a negative iron-containing structural group here, and a non-metallic compound which is formed in the product during sintering. The solid lubricant phase of graphite is the precursor. In carrying out the method φ of the present invention, the non-metallic particulate compound comprises a carbide or carbonate compound of a chemical halogen which stabilizes the iron alpha phase of the iron-containing structural matrix. In carrying out the method of the present invention, the non-metallic particulate compound is derived from any chemical quinone which stabilizes the iron alpha phase, so that it is necessary to include iron in the metallurgical composition. Additional particulate alloying elements of alpha phase stability 0 In the present invention, graphite particles are formed by dissociation of the precursor phase during the sintering step of the component or product. As examples of the precursor phase for carrying out the present invention, carbon carbide (cycling, charcoal turning (M〇2C), chromium carbide (Cr3C2), and the like can be cited. In the preparation of a novel composite compound material. In the powder mixture, carbides in the form of fine powder particles (preferably 5 _ to 25 _) are mixed in the iron powder (main component) and other alloying element powders present in the powder mixture, resulting in graphite nodules. The most symbolic carbide in the ferrous matrix forming the self-lubricating sintered steel is a chemical element in which the iron-α phase is strongly enhanced in its chemical formula; for example, it is stored in carbon carbide (SiC) Element Si. In the sintering step _, that is, at the sintering temperature of the component or product, the carbonized stone (Sic) dissociates and the chemical element is turned into iron. 144798.doc 10 201034773 (that is, in the iron-containing structural matrix) The solid solution of the compound is increased in the iron-containing matrix surrounding the dissociated SlC particles as evidenced by the disintegration. As evidenced by the iron-stone balance diagram, the chemical element is strong. Stabilize iron alpha phase; in Fe-Si Circulating, -㈣) made of vertices. Born. 2.15% by weight (4.2% at) the value of Si. Therefore, during the sintering of sintered steel, generally between 1125 ° C and 125 generations, when the concentration of dissolved in the iron around the dissociated SK: particles reaches the solubility of the γ phase _ It will occur that γ_iron becomes a transformation of α-iron. At the instant of the Sic dissociation process, although the Si concentration does not reach the value of stability around the dissociation training particles, the carbon produced by the dissociation will also become a solid solution liquid and will be dispersed inside the matrix, but at the same time The iron-containing matrix around the dissociated Sic particles is converted to _, and the transfer of the light (tetra) carbon in the iron phase is extremely low (the maximum value at 727 ° C is 0.022% by weight). Thus, the carbon released by the dissociation of the carbide forms a graphite nodule surrounded by the α-iron layer. Only the remaining matrix can continue to exist. Q [Embodiment] As mentioned above, the object of the present invention is to provide a group of particulate materials which can be uniformly mixed and pulverized by dusting (carrying, rolling) or by squeezing Or shot, forming a powder and conforming (star tight), so that it can present a clear geometry (component) to be submitted to the sintered known 'to obtain a high hardness, mechanical strength compared to the product obtained by the prior art teaching π And a product of a lower coefficient of friction "> The composition of the present invention comprises: a primary particulate metal material prevailing in the formation of the composition, and at least one having the function of hardening the predominant material; — the granule alloy bismuth, which causes the formation of a structural matrix in the composite product of the 144798.doc 201034773 junction to be fired in the steel; and a precursor particle that allows the solid lubricant to be knotted during disintegration during sintering due to its dissociation material. According to the invention and as illustrated in Figure 2, the primary particulate metal material is a precursor phase that defines the iron of the iron-containing structural matrix 10 and is used to generate a solid lubricant of the solid lubricant during disintegration during sintering. It is based on a carbide or carbonate, preferably a compound formed by an element which stabilizes the iron alpha phase in the iron-containing structural matrix 10. When the precursor phase used does not contain (four) yuan (four) which stabilizes the iron in the iron-containing matrix, the money will be added to the present invention in a specific amount of additional alloying elements sufficient to stabilize the iron alpha phase. In the material composition. The alloying element having the function of hardening the iron-containing structural matrix is, for example, defined by one selected from the group consisting of chromium, molybdenum, carbon, ruthenium, phosphorus, manganese, and nickel, but it should be understood that the structural matrix can be used. Other elements that perform the same function, such as vanadium and copper, can also have more than one alloying element at the same time. It should be noted that the present invention is required to provide an alloy hardening element which can be used to harden the structural matrix 1 () formed by interdiffusion (chemical homogenization) during (4), but this aspect should not be limited to the one presented herein. An exemplary alloying element. Figures IB, 1C, and 2 schematically show several steps in the development of composite microstructures that are closely related to the dissociation of carbides (sic) during sintering. The top of the figure shows the microstructural photograph obtained by the optical microscope after the composite formed by the sintering, and Fig. 4 shows the structure of the precipitated graphite in the form of a nano-thickness "skin or sheet" inside the nodule. This structure helps to form a friction layer on the opposite moving surface interface of the friction pair, increasing the efficiency of solid lubrication. Adding other alloying elements defined in the powder mixture forming the composite in the powder mixture of M4798.doc -12· 201034773 in parallel, accelerating the increase of the α phase in the matrix during the sintering operation, by mixing the carbide particles in the volume of the material The dissociation increases the tendency to produce graphite nodules 20. The iron alpha phase is stabilized and the alloying elements from the dissociation of the carbides, in addition to forming the two layers of the dissociated particles 11 to prevent the carbon from being dissolved in the matrix, help to increase the matrix The hardness of the matrix in the solid solution; however, if the hardness increment achieved by the presence of these alloying elements in the solid solution in the iron ◎ is insufficient, additional alloying elements should be additionally added to the powder mixture to cause sintering It is dissolved in the matrix during the operation in order to obtain the hardness and mechanical strength required for the application. Therefore, in the present invention, the metal structural matrix of the material is formed by auto-hardening of iron, and the auto-hardening of the iron is made of an alloying element having a stable phase of iron α. The solid solution is achieved, for example, in a powder metallurgy processing material, since the carbide mixed in the iron powder dissociates, the bismuth and molybdenum are dissolved in the iron-containing matrix. Q In addition to such necessity, the alloy element is stabilized. In addition, other alloying elements can be added to the powder mixture to adjust the mechanical strength and hardness of the matrix to make it relevant. High performance of friction and mechanical properties of dry self-wetting composites produced during sintering. As an example of other alloying elements that are advantageously used in the present invention to increase the mechanical strength and hardness of the matrix, a strong stabilizer for the removal of iron alpha phase. In addition to the Si, Mo, and lanthanum elements, the elements Cr, Ni, Mn, W, V, and C can be cited. As for the type of carbide used, the powder mixture composition for the production of the product by the powder metallurgy of the present invention is formulated. It is formed by the following two different 144798.doc •13· 201034773 alternatives: Alternative 1 • Iron powder + carbide powder particles formed by chemical elements that stabilize the iron α phase (mixed by 510% by volume) It will produce graphite nodules 20 at the sintering temperature due to its dissociation, + powder particles of other chemical elements called alloying elements, which have the function of increasing the hardness and strength of the iron-containing structural matrix (7); : Iron powder + carbide powder particles which are not formed by chemical elements which stabilize the iron lanthanum 1 phase (mixed by volume % 1 〇%) + alloying element powder which stabilizes iron α phase The powder has a function of stabilizing the iron alpha phase of the iron-containing matrix to prevent the carbon from dissociation of the carbide from being dissolved by the iron-containing matrix, and + other alloying elements present to adjust the mechanical properties of the structural matrix of the composite. The iron-containing structural matrix 10(10) is the only micro-structural element of the composition of the mechanical strength of the composite to be formed, so the higher the degree of continuity of the matrix of the composite, the mechanical strength of the sintered article or component made of the composite In order to maintain the homogeneity continuity of the metal structure matrix of the dry self-contained composite material, the low porosity is required, and the solid volume and the lubricant phase of the low volume 100% ratio are required. The agent is not conducive to the mechanical strength of the material '&; therefore, it is not conducive to the mechanical strength of the sintered product. In addition, the solid lubricant contained in the volume of the material should be uniformly distributed in the volume of discrete particles or joints 2 The fly-off, 20 form is dispersed, that is, has a regular mean free path inside the iron-containing structural matrix 10 (see Fig. 2). This promotes greater lubrication efficiency and at the same time ensures a higher degree of continuity of the matrix, thereby ensuring a higher mechanical strength of the composite. The metal matrix of the material needs to be highly resistant to plastic deformation to operate not only as a mechanical support with the necessary load capacity of l4479S.doc -14- 201034773, but also to prevent solid lubricant particles from operating on the part (as opposed to (4) During the middle friction, it is covered by the plastic deformation of the structural base, preventing the solid lubricant from being dispersed in the interface where the solid lubricant layer should be formed. According to the present invention, the additional alloy component which stabilizes the iron alpha phase is defined by at least one of the elements selected from the group consisting of phosphorus, antimony, cobalt and molybdenum. Although it is believed that this 4-element is most suitable for the action of a stable iron alpha phase at a sintering temperature (about 111 to about 1250 C) separately or collectively, it should be understood that the present invention resides in a stable iron alpha phase to destroy carbon dissociation. The concept, not the fact that the alloy component used must be exemplified herein. When the composition of the present invention is conformed by compaction, the primary particulate metal material (iron) exhibits an average particle size preferably between about 5 μηι and about 90 μηη. The hardening element having the function of hardening the structural matrix in turn, and the precursor component of the solid lubricant phase (compound) should exhibit a particle size of preferably less than about 45 μm; it should be further understood as the primary particulate metal material. , Q, that is, the average particle size of iron should always be greater than the average particle size of the alloying element of the solid lubricant phase and the S. striatum component (compound). When the composition of the present invention is conformed by injection molding, the primary particulate metal material (iron) exhibits a particle size preferably between about 5 μηι and about 25 μηι. Similarly, the alloying element of the solid lubricant phase and the precursor component (compound) exhibit a particle size preferably between about 5 μηιη and about 25 μηη. When the conformal composition of the composition prior to sintering is carried out by extrusion or by injection molding, the composition should further comprise at least one organic binder, preferably by paraffin and other waxes, EVA and low melting point. In the group of polymer compositions 144798.doc • 15, 201034773 selected, when formed by extrusion, the proportion is usually from about 15% to about 45% of the nano-volume of the metallurgical composition, and when conformal by injection molding ,: Often about 45% from the date of the Qing. After the shape of the step, the organic binder is extracted from the composition, for example by using a conformal product? This is achieved by evaporating before the sintering step. The above-described composition is obtained by mixing, in any suitable mixer, a particulate material selected for forming the composition and for subsequently obtaining a self-lubricating sintered product. In the crucible, a mixture of different particulate materials is branched and submitted to compaction by compaction, that is, by pressing or rolling or by extrusion of a powder, in which not only powder quality is obtained. The desired shape of the product to be compacted and to be obtained by the sonoton. 70 in the case of conformation by extrusion or injection molding, the mixture of the component containing the organic binder is homogenized at a temperature not lower than the temperature at which the organic binder is melted, and the thus homogenized mixture is formed. The granules are facilitated for their handling, storage and supply to the injection molding machine. After the part is conformal, it is delivered to the parent to the extraction of the specific organic binder, which is usually performed in two stages, the first 13⁄4 slave is a chemical extraction process in the agent (for example, hexane) and the second Stage A obtains white weight as an extraction process by thermal decomposition or CD plasma assisted thermal process. Electrolytic use of the composition mentioned in the article 'J set has a hardness of 230 HV to 700 HV, friction coefficient μ $ 〇15, mechanical traction resistance of 350 MPa to 750 MPa (depending on the alloy element to be used and used Depending on the processing parameters, it also has an amorphous carbon nodule with an internal structure in the form of a nanometer and a skin. 144798.doc 201034773 A self-lubricating sintered part or product of a knife cloth, which facilitates the graphite on a movable surface. Disperse within the interface to form a solid lubricant layer.广五,六八,沾,7 has the different characterization of the conformation of the composition of the present invention by compacting several predetermined amounts of the composition into any desired ones. The shape may be the desired shape of the self-lubricating sintered finished part or product to be obtained or a shape similar to the desired finished product, but 'in a large number of applications' only to be submitted to the frictional contact other phases.
