This invention relates to an improved apparatus and method for'making briquettes from powdered metal materials.
More specifically, the invention pertains to an apparatus and method of this kind which is particularly adapted for producing briquettes of the above character which have a body portion of substantially uniform cross section and a tapered portion such as a body portion and ogive of a projectile.
One of the main objects of the invention is the provision of an apparatus and method of this kind which during compression of a charge of powdered metal particles into a briquette of pointed or conical end shape, subjects the particles of powdered metal in the pointed end and adjacent parts to substantially the same particle orientation shifting movement as that to which the powdered metal of the remaining portion of the article is subjected.
Another object of the invention is the provision of a briquetting apparatus and method of this kind which produces powdered metal briquettes of varying cross section that are substantially uniform in density throughout and which, when sintered, have uniform structural strength.
A further object of the invention is the provision of means for ejecting tapered briquettes of this kind from the dies in which they are formed by engagement with the base ends of the latter in order to safeguard the tapered or pointed ends thereof from injury.
A still further object of the invention is to control the compression to which the powdered metal charge is subjected in the tapered end forming portions of the dies as to guard against sticking or binding of the tapered end portions in the dies and consequently breaking of the briquette during separation thereof from the dies.
An illustrative embodiment of the invention is shown in the accompanying drawing, in which:
Fig. 1 is a fragmentary vertical sectional view of die forming apparatus embodying the invention illustrating the parts thereof in position to commence a briquette forming operation.
Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view of the apparatus shown in Fig. 1 illustrating the parts thereof in the final briquette compressing stage. I
Fig. 3 is a side elevational view, partly in section, of die forming apparatus embodying the invention and illustratin one form of mechanism by which the die parts may be operated.
The apparatus and method embodying the invention is adapted for use in forming articles of diverse shapes and may be employed to advantage in the forming of powdered metal briquettes which have a body portion of cylindrical or other uniform cross section and a tapered or conical end portion. For the purpose of illustrating the invention, there is shown in the drawing, the application of the apparatus and method to the 7 Claims. (Cl. 78--0.5)
forming of projectiles of the type which have a cylindrical body portion and a tapered ogive. Projectile briquettes formed in accordance with the invention may be sintered in a non-oxidizing or reducing atmosphere and brought to final desired dimensions and contour in a suitable sizing operation such as that illustrated in United States Patent No. 2,226,002 issued to A. J. Langhammer on December 24, 1940. The powdered metal charge may comprise particles of a single powdered metal or a mixture of metal particles such as tin and copper.
In operating upon particles of powdered metal to bring them to compact briquette form, it is desirable to have the particles of metal at all positions in the charge undergo substantially the same amount of movement relative to the die structure or an amount of movement relative thereto of substantially the same order. This movement of the particles relative to the die parts during compression of a charge produces a particle orientation which facilitates compression into a dense structure. If, for example, one portion of a charge is held at rest while compression is applied at one extremity of the charge, the particles of metal at the extremity of the charge upon which compression was applied shift relative to the die substantially more than the particles of metal at the extremity of the charge which was held at rest and as a result, the particles of metal which moved relative to the die underwent orientation which the particles of metal which were held at rest were not subjected to. It is found that the parts of the compressed product comprising particles which were permitted to orient themselves during compression have a substantially greater density than the portion of the resulting briquette comprising particles which were held at rest.
With the improved briquette forming apparatus and method, all the particles of the charge are shifted relative to the die during the compressing operation sufliciently uniformly to produce a. briquette of substantially uniform density throughout. This is accomplished even in the formation of briquettes having body portions of substantially uniform cross section and tapered ends.
The apparatus comprises a support l0 having a bore II and a coaxial counterbore I2 of larger diameter than the bore ll. Slidably mounted in the bore II is a tubular die part l3 which has a radially extending flange I4 adapted to seat against a shoulder l5 disposed between th bore II and the counterbore I2. The tubular die part I3 has a cylindrical passage I6 extending therethrough which is adapted to receive a charge I! of powdered metal. The tubular die I 3 is normally urged to its upper limiting position established by abutment of the flange l4 against the shoulder l5, as viewed in Fig. 1, by a coil spring the upper end portion of the bore l I.
. 3 l3 which bears against the flange i4 and a shoulder is provided on a sleeve 23 which is threaded in the lower end portion of the counterbore l2. The upper extremity 2| of the sleeve is adapted to abut the lower side of the flange l4 of the die part l3 to establish the lower limiting position of the tubular die part l3, as illustrated in Fig. 2. The sleeve 23 may be set in a selected position by tightening a set screw 22 threaded in an aperture formed in the neck portion 23 depending from the support t3. A plunger, generally designated by the numeral 24, is disposed below the support III in axial alignment with the passage I3 of the tubular die part l3. The ram 24 has a stem portion 25 which extends into the lower end portion of the passage l3 of thedie part l3 in relatively close fitting relationship with respect to the walls thereof. The stem 25 serves to establish the depth of charg of powdered metal which'is receivable in the upper end portion of passage, l3 in the die I3. This stem also serves, as hereinafter more clearly set forth, to eject the charge after compression thereof.
Disposed above the support ill in axial alignment with the bore I l thereof is a ram 23 having a die part 21 on its lower extremity provided with a tapered closed end cavity 23- The die part 21 is adapted to engage the upper extremity of the shiftable tubular die part i3 when the ram is -forced downwardly by -mechanism hereinafter has been filled with a charge of powdered metal or other powdered material, the ram 23 is forced downwardly to bring the die part 21 thereof into Durin this movement of the ram, the tubular die part I3 is forced downwardly against the action of the spring i3 and the stem 25 of the plunger 24 is held at rest so as to produce relative movement between all portions of the charge l1 and the walls of the passage l3 and to displace some of the particles powdered material at the upper end of the charge l1 from the passage l3 into cavity 23. Further downward movement of the ram 23 causes the powdered'charge to be compressed to a desired degree depending upon the extent to which the tubular die part I3 is urged downwardly "upward movement of the tubular die part 13 and after the latter has reached its upper limiting position, the stem 25 is thrust upwardly relatively to the tubular die part l3 in order to eject the finished briquette from the passage I 3.
The ram 23 and plunger 24 may be operated by any suitable coining press mechanism, an example of which is illustratedin Fig. 3. In this form of coining press construction, a cam memand 33 are so constructed and arranged as to prodownwardly while the plunger 24 remains at rest 5 during contact thereof with a constant radius portion of the cam38. After the ram 23 has completed its full compression stroke, the cam 33 withdraws it. At the same time, the cam 33 commences to urgethe plunger 24 upwardly.
During the operation of the foregoing briquette forming apparatus and method, substantially all portions of the particles of metal of the charge are subjected to orientation by movement with respect to the die part in which they are con- 5 tained. A tapered end is formed on thebriquette without a significant variation in density at the tapered and base end portions of the briquette.
Even-more important is thefact that the density.
the particles past the plane at which the ex-- tremity 29 of the die part 21 engages the upper extremity of the tubular die IS. The resulting briquette is ejected from the tubular die part i3 by pressing upon its base end portion rather than its tapered end portion in order to avoid the ap- 5 plieation of excessively high unit pressure on the relatively pointed extremity of the briquette.
Although but one specific embodiment of the invention is herein shown and described. it is to be understood that various changes in the size, 40 shape and arrangement of parts may be made without departing from the spirit of the inven-. tion.
