FORMING PRESSURE (flcm CLOSED DIE FORGING METHOD OF MAKING IIIGI-I DENSITY FERROUS SINTERED ALLOYS FIELD OF INVENTION This invention relates to closed die forging method of making high density ferrous sintered alloys, and, more particularly, it is concerned with a method of producing ferrous sintered alloys of improved physical strength by highly densifying the same. The alloys may contain one or more of fortifying components such as carbon, copper, nickel, chronium, managanese, molybdenum, tungsten, etc.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In recent days, various machine parts made of sintered alloy material obtained from powder metallurgy have made a great stride in their production as a result of automated industrial production as well as due to characteristically high dimensional precision attributable to these sintered machine parts. However, with increase in production of machine parts, particularly, for the automobile industry, high the demand for stronger material has increased. Recent trend in research and development of such sintered alloys has been directed to the higher mechanical strength of the sintered material.
There are generally two methods of obtaining materials having high mechanical strength, i.e., the one is by the addition of fortifying components to the alloy composition, and the other is by considerably densifying the alloy material. The sintered alloy, in particular,-
TABLE Conventional Highly Compacted Ferrous Sintered Ferrous Sintered Alloy Alloy Density (g/cm) 6.0 6.7 7.2 and above Porosity (912) 15 25 10 and below Hardness (Hv) 30 and above 100 and above Transverse Rupture Strength (kg/mm) 20 120 60 150 Tensile Strength (kg/mm) l-60 30- I00 Ductility (711) 15 and below 30 and below Impact strength (kg/cm) 1.0 and below 2.0 10.0
However, in view of the fact that, when metal powder is directly shaped, there exists a limitation in the increase in the formed density, if the forming pressure is raised as desired, and, moreover, then the metal mold is worn out more rapidly. The most economical pressure at the time of powder forming has been generally considered less than 5 to 6 tons/cm. There is also a limitation, for the very same reason, in the increase in the density of the sintered alloy obtained when the material is to be compacted by repetition of repressing and re sintering. Furthermore, in the conventionally known methods, the sintered density of reduced iron material could only range between 6.3 to
6.7 g/cc and that of electrolytic iron powder was less than 7.2 g/cc at the best. Especially, a sintered body with additives which contribute to improvement in mechanical strength of the shaped body, such as carbon, copper, nickel, chromium, manganese, molyb' denum, tungsten, etc. inevitably increases its plastic deformation resistance and is difficult to augment its density even a by re-pressing process.
It is therefore the primary object of the present invention to provide a method of obtaining ferrous sintered alloys containing therein fortifying components and having higher density than the conventional alloys by hot-forming the same at a pressure substantially equal to or less than the above-noted economical pressure values.
THE INVENTION According to the present inventions, however, ferrous sintered alloy is first combined and/or mixed with the abovementioned additive components and then preformed into a required shape close to a desired final shape, after which the preform is pre-sintered under such temperature condition that does not cause diffusion or reaction between the iron powder, which is the principal constituent in the raw material, and the additive metal powders, and that is capable of relieving the preform from work-hardening, caused at the time of the preforming, as well as of improving the binding force among the particles of the iron powder. The plastic deformation resistance of the preformed sin tered body thus treated is almost equal to that of an annealed pure iron powder sintered body, the value of which is much lower than that of the conventional sintered alloy. This sintered preform is subjected to rapid heating preferably by of high frequency heating so as to hot-form the same before the most part of the additive components diffuses into the base iron material or reacts with it, whereby the sintered body can be molded to high density and with the lowest plastic deformation resistance.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION The invention will be more clearly understood and reduced into practice from the following explanations of the preferred embodiments of the invention taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing, in which:
FIGS. 1, 2, and 3 are graphical representations respectively showing relationship between the forming temperature and the formed density of pre-sintered as well as sintered bodies of ferrous sintered alloy powder, when they are subjected to molding; and
FIGS. 4 and 5 are the graphical representations respectively showing relationship between forming pressure and formed density of the same sample alloy as in the above FIGS. 1 and 2.
Several kinds of specimens were prepared. The first specimen consists of 1 percent carbon and remainder of iron; the second consists of 1 percent carbon, 2 percent nickel, and remainder of iron; the third consists of 0.5 percent carbon, 2 percent manganese, 0.5 percent molybdenum, and remainder of iron; the fourth consists of 0.5 percent carbon, 2 percent nickel, 0.5 percent molybdenum, and remainder of iron; and fifth consists of 1 percent carbon, 2 percent chromium, and remainder of iron.
These components which are respectively in the form of graphite, carbonyl nickel powder, manganese powder, molybdenum powder, chromium powder, and reduced iron powder were mixed together and formed into rods of 20 mm dia, and mm long at a forming pressure of about 4 ton/cm to a density of 6.3g/cc and then respectively sintered at 600 to 700C for 1 hour. Also, some of them were sintered at 1,150C for 1 hour. Each of the specimens was rapidly heated by high frequency heating means within a period of 1 minute, thereafter they were re-pressed at respective pressure values as indicated in the graph.
In FIG. 1, the density versus temperature curve A (solid line) is for a specimen consisting of 1 percent carbon and remainder of iron which was sintered at 600C, and the curve B (dotted line) is for a specimen of the same composition as that of A, but sintered at 1,150C, both specimens having been shaped at a forming pressure of 4 tons/cm.
In FIG. 2, the density versus temperature curve C (solid line) is for a specimen consisting of 1 percent carbon, 2 percent nickel, and remainder of iron sintered at 600C, and the curve D (dotted line) is for a specimen of the same composition as that of C but sintered at 1,150C, both specimen having been shaped at a forming pressure of 4 tons/cm? In FIG. 3, the density versus temperature curve E (solid line) is for three specimens having different compositions and sintered at 800C, as follows: the first specimen consists of 0.5 percent carbon, 2 percent manganese, 0.5 percent molybdenum, and remainder of iron; the second consists of 0.5 percent carbon, 2 percent nickel, 0.5 percent molybdenum, and remainder of iron; and the third consists of 1 percent carbon, 2 percent chromium, and remainder of iron. These three specimens show substantially the same curve.
The curve F (dotted line) is for specimen consisting of 0.5 percent carbon, 2 percent manganese, 0.5 percent molybdenum, and remainder of iron sintered at l,l30C.
The curve G (dot-and-dash line) is for specimen consisting of0.5 percent carbon, 2 percent nickel, 0.5 percent molybdenum, and remainder of iron sintered at 1,150C.
The curve H (dot-dot-dash line) is for specimen consisting of 1 percent carbon, 2 percent chromium and remainder of iron sintered at 1,1 80C.
All of the abovementioned specimens were formed at a forming pressure of 4 ton/cm.
As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 3, the specimens sintered at 600 to 800C indicate a resulting much higher increase in the density than the specimens sintered at from 1,l30 to l,l80C at every forming temperature level. In FIG. 2, the effect of the high compacting of the sintered body begins to slightly lower at 1,000C because of partial diffusion of the additive components.
In FIG. 4, the density versus pressure curve I (solid line) is for a specimen consisting of 1 percent carbon and remainder of iron presintered at 600C, and the curve J (dotted line) is for a specimen of the same composition as that of I, but sintered at l,l50C, both specimens having been formed at the respective pressure values as indicated in the abscissa, when the formed density varied against the pressure changes.
Similarly, in FIG. 5, the density versus pressure curve K (solid line) is for a ferrous alloy specimen consisting of 1 percent carbon, 2 percent nickel, sintered at 600C, and the curve L (dotted line) is for a specimen of the same composition as that of K, but sintered at 1,150C, both specimens having been formed at the respective forming pressure values as indicated in the abscissa, when the formed density varied against the pressure changes.
As seen from FIGS. 4, the formed density of 7.2g/cc and above could be obtained with reduced iron powder by forming the material at a forming pressure of 3 to 4 tons/cm or more at a forming temperature of 700C, while in FIG. 5 such required density could be attained at a pressure of less than 3 tons/cm? In order to enable persons having ordinary skill in the art to practice this invention, the following preferred examples are presented. However, it should be noted that the present invention is not limited to these examples alone.
Example 1 A mixture of iron powder with 0.8 percent graphite powder, 20 percent tungsten powder, 4 percent chromium powder and 0.6 percent manganese was press formed into a rod of 20 mm in dia., 10 mm in length, and a density of 6.3 g/cm. The formed body was sintered at 1,200C for 30 minutes, then it was heated very quickly to a temperature of 1,200C and formed in a closed die at a pressure of 7 ton/cm.
After this treatment, the article attained a density of 8.4 g/cm which is 99.5 percent of the theoretical density. Then it was resintered.
Example 2 The specimen consisting of 3 percent copper, 3 percent nickel, 0.5 percent carbon and remainder of iron was press formed into a rod of 20 mm in dia., 10 mm in length and a density of 6.3 g/cm The formed body was sintered at 800C and forged at 600C at a pressure of 6 ton/cm.

This material had a tensile strength of 60 kg/mm, an elongation of 14 percent, a hardness of 170 Hv, and an impact strength of 6.9 kg.m/cm.
Example 5 From a mixture of iron powder with 2 percent nickel powder, 0.5 percent molybdenum powder and 0.5 percent graphite powder, a preform of a rod having dimension of 20 mm in dia. and mm in length was obtained with a density of 6.4 g/cm. The precompact body was sintered at 900C for 30 minutes, then it was heated to a temperature of 1,000C and rapidly formed at the same temperature with a pressure of 5 ton/cm to a density of7.5 to 7.6 g/cm.
This material had a tensile strength of 80 kg/mm an elongation of 6.0 percent, a hardness of 230 Hv, and an impact strength of5.0 kg.m/cm
Example 6 From a mixture of 97 percent iron powder 2 percent chromium powder and 1 percent graphite powder, a preform of a rod having dimension of mm in dia. and 10 mm in length was obtained with a density of 6.4 g/cm. The precompact was sintered at 1,000C, then it was heated to a temperature of 1,100C and formed in a closed die at a pressure of 6 ton/cm to a density of 7.6 g/cm, and then resintered.
After this treatment, the material had a tensile strength of 85 to 95 kglmm an elongation of 2.5 to 4.0 percent, a hardness of 220 to 250 Hv, and an impact strength of 3.0 to 5.0 kg.m/cm
