Definitions

  • the present invention relates to slip casting with or without applied pressure, in particular to such slip or pressure casting of metal bodies.
  • Powder metallurgy techniques have been utilized in the fabrication of various types of finished metallic parts.
  • a flexible bag may be filled with metal powder and placed in a mold that approximates the final pressed shape and dimensions of the part.
  • the bag and mold are sealed, and cold isostatic pressing is utilized to form a pressed “green body” of the metal powder.
  • the green body may then be sintered in order to increase its density and subsequently machined to its final desired dimensions. While such powder metallurgy techniques are useful for particular applications, their utility is limited when the final parts have more complicated shapes. The more complicated the shape, the more excess powder must be placed in the bag and mold in order to prevent cracking during pressing.
  • the ratio of the weight of the sintered part to the new weight of the part in its final machined form may exceed 4:1, resulting in high machining, materials, and labor costs.
  • parts fabricated with such powder metallurgy techniques rarely achieve final sintered densities that exceed 94% of their theoretical densities.
  • Such parts may also have disadvantageously large grain sizes, e.g., greater than 40 microns.
  • slip casting Another powder metallurgy technique utilized for the production of complex shapes is slip casting, in which a “slip,” i.e., a suspension of fine metal powder in water, dispersing agents (for the stabilization of the powder against colloidal forces), one or more solvents (for control of slip viscosity and facilitating casting), and a binder for strengthening the cast shape are placed in a mold, the liquids are drawn away, and the resulting green body is sintered for densification and strength.
  • slip casting typically requires the use of a deflocculant or suspension aid to prevent the settling and agglomeration of the powder and to maintain a desirable slip viscosity.
  • Such deflocculants include, e.g., alcohols, other organic liquids, or alginates (i.e., ammonium and sodium salts of alginic acids).
  • alginates i.e., ammonium and sodium salts of alginic acids.
  • metal parts are produced utilizing slip or pressure casting of metal powders having specific powder-size distributions that obviate the need for the use of added organic or inorganic suspension aids during casting.
  • the metal powders are suspended in a liquid that includes or consists essentially of water, e.g., deionized (DI) water, and poured into a mold for casting.
  • DI deionized
  • the liquid does not include any flocculating or deflocculating additives.
  • preferred embodiments utilize powders that consist essentially only of one or more metals and do not contain solid or powder agents such as binders or plasticizers.
  • the mold is porous (and may include or consist essentially of, e.g., gypsum), and the liquid in which the powder is suspended is drawn into the mold via capillary action.
  • the resulting green body is sintered to increase its density and final machining (if desired and/or necessary) is performed to shape the final part.
  • the metal powder may include or consist essentially of, e.g., one or more refractory metals.
  • the metal powder may include or consist essentially of tungsten (W), tantalum (Ta), niobium (Nb), zirconium (Zr), molybdenum (Mo), and/or titanium (Ti).
  • the slip does not exhibit dilatant or thixotropic flow, for example, when the slip is being poured into the mold; rather, the viscosity of the slip is preferably approximately constant as a function of the shear rate (i.e., with changes in shear rate) applied to the slip.
  • the slip and/or mold is not agitated (e.g., stirred, shaken, rotated, and/or vibrated) to promote mixing or settling of the metal powder within the slip; rather, the engineered particle size distribution of the powder particles within the slip provides resistance to powder settling within the slip before and during casting (i.e., the slip is colloidally stable rather than, e.g., colloidally unstable or even metastable, in preferred embodiments) while also facilitating low-resistance pourability of the slip itself in the absence of agitation.
  • no electrical voltage or current is applied to the mold or slip during the casting process to influence settling behavior.
  • the green bodies and molded parts are generally not functionally or mechanically graded, i.e., the parts exhibit few if any gradients in composition, microstructure, mechanical properties, porosity, residual stress, grain size, particle size, etc.
  • the mechanical and functional properties of bodies and parts fabricated in accordance with embodiments of the present invention e.g., grain size of unsintered or sintered parts, and/or powder particle size of slips and/or green bodies
  • embodiments of the invention feature slips that are substantially free of acidic or basic pH-modifying agents; such agents may have deleterious effects (e.g., corrosion and/or chemical reaction) on the metal powder particles utilized in preferred embodiments and are generally not necessary for engineering colloidal stability of slips described herein.
  • the terms “body,” “part,” and “article” refer to bulk three-dimensional objects (as opposed to mere grains of powder) with shapes as simple as a slab but also more complex shapes such as crucibles and other volumes having convexity and/or concavity.
  • the final shape (not considering any process-related shrinkage) is typically formed by casting (as opposed to bulk compression) and sintering, which may be followed by machining.
  • embodiments of the invention feature a method of producing a shaped part.
  • a powder is suspended in a liquid comprising or consisting essentially of water, thereby forming a slip.
  • the powder has a particle-size distribution d10 between 0.15 micron and 0.5 micron, d50 between 0.6 micron and 1 micron, and d90 between 2.4 microns and 3 microns, where a particle-size distribution dX of Y denotes that X % of particles have a size less than Y.
  • the slip is introduced into a mold having a shape approximately equal to a desired shape of the shaped part.
  • the particle-size distribution of the powder (i) substantially prevents separation of the powder from the liquid by agglomeration and/or sedimentation and (ii) maintains a substantially homogeneous distribution of powder particles within the liquid. Thereafter, at least a portion of the liquid drains out of the slip to produce a green body comprising or consisting essentially of the powder, and the green body is sintered to produce the shaped part.
  • Embodiments of the invention may include one or more of the following in any of a variety of different combinations.
  • the particle-size distribution of the powder may be d10 of approximately 0.3 micron, d50 of approximately 0.8 micron, and d90 of approximately 2.7 microns.
  • the shaped part may have a density between approximately 95% and approximately 99% of theoretical density, or even between 97% and 99% of theoretical density.
  • the shaped part may have a grain size (e.g., average grain size) between approximately 10 microns and approximately 20 microns.
  • the powder may include or consist essentially of one or more metals, e.g., one or more refractory metals.
  • the powder may include or consist essentially of tungsten, tantalum, niobium, zirconium, molybdenum, and/or titanium.
  • the green body may be sintered in hydrogen.
  • the green body may be sintered at a temperature between approximately 3000° F. and approximately 5000° F.
  • the powder may be produced by providing an initial powder having a particle-size distribution d10 of approximately 0.42 micron, d50 of approximately 1.8 micron, and d90 of approximately 3.8 microns, deagglomerating a portion of the initial powder, and blending the deagglomerated portion of the initial powder with a second portion of the initial powder.
  • the portion of the initial powder may be deagglomerated by ball milling.
  • the density of the green body may be between approximately 30% and approximately 40% of theoretical density.
  • the liquid may consist essentially of deionized water.
  • the mold may be porous. Substantially all of the liquid from the slip may drain into the mold to form the green body. Neither the slip nor the mold may be agitated (e.g., shaken, stirred, vibrated, and/or rotated) after the slip is introduced into the mold and before the green body is produced.
  • a super-atmospheric pressure (which may be hydrostatic) may be applied to the mold and/or to the slip during and/or after introducing the slip into the mold.
  • the powder may be substantially homogeneously distributed within the green body (i.e., there may be no noticeable gradients or bands in particle or grain size formed within the green body).
  • the mold may contain substantially only the slip.
  • the shaped part may be machined to a desired size and/or shape.
  • embodiments of the invention feature a method of producing a shaped part.
  • a powder is suspended in water without flocculating or deflocculating additives, thereby forming a slip.
  • the slip is introduced into a mold having a shape approximately complementary to (i.e., enclosing a space for introduction of slip therewithin approximately equal to) a desired shape of the shaped part substantially without separation of the powder from the water (and/or settling or sedimentation of the powder within the water) thereduring.
  • at least a portion of the liquid is allowed to drain out of the slip to produce a green body including or consisting essentially of the powder, and the green body is sintered to produce the shaped part.
  • Embodiments of the invention may include one or more of the following in any of a variety of different combinations.
