METHOD OF MANUFACTUQRING COMPOSITE METAL BODIES.
Application filed February 8, 1927, Serial No. 166,802,,ai1d in Germany July 15, 1926.
My invention relates to the manufacture of bodies of compressed particles of electrically conductive or magnetic material,
press employed, the different speeds use for compressing the time consumed with the pressing operation, and the degree of skill of the workman.
The object of my invention is to provide a method of conducting the pressing operation whereby the properties of the compressed articles will be independent to a large extent of the variations in the processes of pressing which are employed.
My invention depends upon the discovery of the fact that a point of substantially constant density exists when pulverized material is pressed; that is, when the pressing operation is carried to a certain point the density of the compressed body will be substantially constant over quite a wide range in the pressure employed. For example, if a powder in a mold is'gradually 'pressed with a hydraulic press beginning with zero pressure, the density of the pressedbody first increases rapidly with increasing pressure, it then increases more slowly, and finally remains constant up to a certain pressure. The increase of the density or the decrease of volume is caused in this instance by the shifting of the individualparticles with respect to one another. Until the minimum of volume is reached,-the increase of the pressure will not cause any appreciable increase in the density.
In the accompan ing drawing, I have indicated a curve s owing the relation between density and pressure, the density being'represented by the ordinates and the pressure b abscissae It will e seen from this curve that the density of the body gradually increases with increase of pressure until a pressure corresponding to P; is reached; The density then remains substantially constant over the range K until the pressure corresponding to P is reached. If beyond this pointthe pressure is increased to very high values the density of the body increases and approaches asymptotically the density S,., which represents the density of the particles of whichthe body is composed.
If in the case illustrated, a pressure corresponding to P is chosen as the pressure,
7 will be. suflicient.
Attempts have been made in the past to manufacture pressed bodies with uniform characteristics which would be little dependent on the variation of pressure by choosing a range of pressure at a point where the DP approaches asymptotically the limiting value S... This process, however, requires the application of exceptionally high pressures whlch should be avoided as far as possible in view of the technical difliculties of producing such high pressures, such for example, as producing molds of sufficient strength. It-will also be' found frequently that the characteristics of the compressed body are less desirable due to the greatdeformation of the powdered particles. Moreover, in.- this part of the curve the density only is comparatively independent of the pressure, while the magnetic and electrical properties of the compressed body are not independent of the pressure. What Iv laim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patentf'of the United States, is:'
constructing bodies of pressed powdered. material which consists in applying to a mass of powdered material a pressure ofa value within a range over which the density is substantially independa pressure of a value within a range over ent of the pressure, and below pressures at which appreciable difierences of pressure which a further increase in density will be produce no appreciable. change in the elec- 0 produced. trical and magnetic properties of the body.
5 3. The method of constructing bodies of In Witness whereof, I have hereunto set pressed magnetic material which consists in my hand this 17th day of January 1927. applying to a mass of powdered material WALTHER EHLERS.
