Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A process and apparatus are described for densifying a hot powder metal compact in incremental stages with a single stroke of a forming or forging press. Flow of metal during densification and deformation of the hot compact are controlled to prevent undesired flow of material between a hub portion and a main body portion of the final product to be produced. A preferred shape of powder metal compact is described for use with the process and apparatus disclosed herein.
  • gear pieces present greater problems than others for final forming of a high strength, high density product.
  • the present invention is concerned with a type of gear piece which includes, for example, a hub portion formed integrally with a main body portion and which further includes a splined bore extending through the hub and main body portions.
  • the main body portion is shaped to include bevel tooth profiles on one face thereof.
  • a typical application for a gear piece of this type is in an automobile drive train differential.
  • This shape of product is difficult to form because known forming processes produce an undesired degree of material flow between the hub and main body portions of the final product.
  • the present invention involves a process which starts with a compact shape having partially formed hub and main body portions with a bore extending therethrough.
  • Final forming or forging of the compact is accomplished through steps of incremental forming which sequentially densify and shape and hub portion and the main body portion of the compact, and the sequential densification and shaping are used to control material flow between the hub and main body portions so that gross displacements of material will not occur.
  • the apparatus of the invention provides for rapid densification and deforming of hot powder metal compacts into final, high strength products with a single stroke of a forming press.
  • a compound forming tool comprising a punch having first and second elements for contacting different parts of the hot compact, is brought into sequential engagement with the hub and main body portions of the compact.
  • a first punch element makes contact with the partially formed hub portion of the hot compact so as to press the hot compact onto a core rod support in a closed-end die cavity.
  • the core rod support is provided with a splined configuration on its surface so that splines are formed radially into the bore surface of the hot compact as it is advanced into the die cavity.
  • the first punch element functions to densify and shape the hub portion of the compact without significant movement of material between the hub portion and the main body portion of the compact.
  • the second punch element functions to densify and deform the main body portion of the hot compact after the hub portion has been densified by the first punch element.
  • Sequencing means are provided for delaying the action of the second punch element until the hot compact makes contact with the closed end portion of the die and full densification of the hub portion is substantially completed.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention provides for a concentric mounting of the first and second punch elements, and each punch element is positioned and mounted to be reciprocated back and forth in the direction of the central longitudinal axis of a compact being formed.
  • Both punch elements are mounted in a common ram or other driving means and are simultaneously driven, in a forming stroke, toward the closed end of a die so as to engage and move a hot compact into the die cavity.
  • the second punch element is resiliently mounted, in the axial direction, relative to the first punch element, and this provides for a sequential timing of the two punch elements in their respective contacts with the hub and main body portions of the hot compact.
  • each punch element applies an axial force to a separate portion of the hot compact, and the direction of movement of the axial forces corresponds to the direction of movement of the ram or driving means during a forming stroke of the apparatus.
  • each forming stroke of the ram imparts incremental steps of forming to a hot compact contained within a fixed-position die cavity.
  • a preferred shape for a powder metal compact considers the shape of the closed end portion of the die cavity into which the compact is introduced and formed.
  • the main body portion of the compact should be provided with a generally curved face for contacting the angle defined by projecting tooth shapes formed in the closed end of the die cavity. This relationship avoids unwanted movements or stresses of the main body portion of the compact during densification of the compact.
  • FIG. 1 is an elevational view in section of a preferred shape of a powder metal compact for use with the process and apparatus of the present invention
  • FIG. 2 illustrates an initial step of incremental forming of the compact of FIG. 1
  • FIG. 3 illustrates a further step of incremental forming of the compact of FIG. 2;
  • FIG. 4 is an elevational view, in section, of a relatively simple form of apparatus for carrying out the process of the invention, showing the apparatus in a condition for applying a forming force to a hub portion of a compact contained within a die;
  • FIG. 5 illustrates the apparatus of FIG. 4 in a condition for applying a forming force to a main body portion of a compact contained within a die.
  • FIGS. 1-3 depict various stages of the process of the present invention wherein a hot powder metal compact of the type shown in FIG. 1 is densified and formed to produce the final gear product illustrated in FIG. 3.
  • the compact and final gear product are shown as including a main body portion 10, a hub portion 12 formed integrally with the main body portion, and a bore 14 extending through the main body and hub portion.
  • the bore 14 has a smooth surface in the initial compact form of FIG. 1 and is shown as including a splined surface in the views of FIGS. 2 and 3 after subsequent forming steps of the process have been applied thereto.
  • this invention will be described in terms of producing the specific gear form illustrated in FIG. 3, it can be appreciated that the principles of the invention generally apply to the manufacture of products having a main body portion 10, a hub portion 12, and bore 14 extending through the main body and hub portions.
  • the initial shape of a hot powder metal compact for use in the process of this invention be of the general form illustrated in FIG. 1.
  • This compact form can be considered as a stepped shape or one in which there is a partially formed hub portion 12 and a partially formed main body portion 10, both of which are to be further densified and shaped to establish the final product of FIG. 3.
  • the weight distribution of powder between the hub and main body portions is substantially the same as in the final part to be formed.
  • the preferred compact shape includes a front face portion 18 for being received into a die cavity of a forming apparatus.
  • the front face portion is of a generally hemi-spherical or curved shape for making progressive contact shape with angular projections of tooth profiles in the die cavity.
  • the end portion 16 of the compact is intended to be received against a flat closed-end portion of a die cavity, and an optional counterbore 19 may be included in the end portion 16 to receive an ejector member.
  • an optional counterbore 19 may be included in the end portion 16 to receive an ejector member.
  • the basic concept of the process of this invention is one of applying incremental axial forces to the compact of FIG. 1 to sequentially densify and shape the hub portion 12 and the main body portion 10 of the compact.
  • the forces which are applied to the separate parts of the compact move in sequence in a common direction in such a way that there is no substantial movement of material of the compact between the hub and main body portions. This prevents the establishment of unwanted stresses between the hub and main body portions of the final product, and the entire process is carried out without gross movements or reverse movements of material relative to the direction of travel of tooling which imparts the axial forces to the hot compact.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates an initial step in the process wherein an axial force is applied only to a terminal end face 20 of the hub portion 12 of a hot compact which has been placed in a die cavity for a forging or forming operation.
  • the arrows shown in FIG. 1 depict the direction of the axial force which is applied to the hub portion of the compact.
  • This axial force serves to initially densify the hub portion of the compact prior to any significant densification of the main body portion of the compact.
  • a back face 22 of the main body portion of the compact is constrained from moving toward or away from the hub portion 12. This results in a substantial densification of the material contained in the partially formed hub portion 12 of the compact illustrated in FIG. 1 without any significant movement of that material into the main body portion of the compact.
  • the hub portion 10 is essentially fully densified and completed before forming of the main body portion is initiated, there is little tendency for the material of the main body portion to reverse its flow in the direction of the hub portion.
  • the hub and main body portions are sequentially densified and formed with complete control of material movement during the incremental steps of forming each portion.
  • the splined configuration which is imparted to the bore 14 of the hot compact is imparted thereto simultaneously with the initiation of forming of the hub portion of the compact.
  • the initial step of applying an axial force to the end face 20 of the compact illustrated in FIG. I can function to press the hot compact into supported engagement with a core rod means having a splined surface so as to radially densify and form a splined surface in the bore 14 of the hot compact.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 A simplified form of apparatus is depicted in the illustrations of FIGS. 4 and 5 to illustrate a basic apparatus for carrying out the process of the present invention.
  • apparatus designed for a high speed production system would be relatively more complex and would include structures for automatically handling a hot compact and the finished part in its movement into and out of a die cavity.
  • the apparatus is of a type which includes a die 30 having a cavity defined therein for imparting a final shape to the compact being densified. Further, the apparatus includes a core rod means 32 which is supportedand contained-within the die 30 for being received in the bore 14 of a compact which is inserted into the die cavity.
  • the core rod means 32 is provided with a splined configuration for a major length of its outside surface, and a reduced diameter end portion 33 may be provided for initially positioning a compact on the core rod means prior to forging.
  • apparatus may also include a known ejector mechanism 34 which comprises a tubular member splined to the outside surface of the core rod means 32 for closing off the end of the die cavity and for ejecting a finalformed product from the cavity by a movement upwardly along the length of the core rod means 32.
  • a known ejector mechanism 34 which comprises a tubular member splined to the outside surface of the core rod means 32 for closing off the end of the die cavity and for ejecting a finalformed product from the cavity by a movement upwardly along the length of the core rod means 32.
  • a known ejector mechanism 34 which comprises a tubular member splined to the outside surface of the core rod means 32 for closing off the end of the die cavity and for ejecting a finalformed product from the cavity by a movement upwardly along the length of the core rod means 32.
  • the position of the die 30 is fixed, and a separate punch means 36 is moved relative to the die means to close the open end of the die means and to
  • the improved punch means of this invention comprises a compound tool having certain structures and functions which are different from those used in the art of pressing powder into compact forms.
  • the improved punch is illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5 as including a first punch element 38 and a second punch element 40.
  • the first punch element functions to apply an axial force to a partially formed hub portion of a hot compact after the hot compact is received on a core rod means 32, as shown in FIG. 4.
  • the second punch element functions to apply a separate axial force to a partially formed main body portion of a hot compact after full densification of the hub portion is substantially completed so as to prevent significant material flow between the hub portion and the main body portion.
  • the functional application of the second punch element is illustrated in FIG. 5.
  • the two punch elements 38 and 40 comprise tubular elements which are concentrically mounted relative to each other so as to define, in combination, a closed end for the die cavity when the punch is inserted into the die.
  • Both punch elements are mounted in a common ram or other driving means and are simultaneously driven back and forth in the direction of the central longitudinal axis of the compact being formed.
  • both punch elements are moved in sequence towards the closed end (the bottom end in the orientation of FIGS. 4 and 5) of the die cavity, and incremental forming of the hot compact contained within the die cavity is achieved with each full forming stroke.
  • the first punch element 38 includes an end face 44 which substantially matches the terminal end face 20 (see FIG. 1) of the powder metal compact being formed.
  • the inner surface of a bore portion 46 of the first punch member 38 includes a splined configuration which mates with the splined configuration of the core rod means 32 to prevent extrusion of powder metal material between the first punch element and the core rod means.
  • the second punch element 40 is resiliently mounted, in the axial direction, relative to the first punch element.
  • spring means 48 are compressively loaded between the second punch element 40 and a portion of the ram 42 which fixes the position of the first punch element 38 to thereby allow a limited distance of movement between the two punch elements.
  • the distance of movement is set to correspond to the length of travel desired for the first punch element 38 from the time it makes initial contact with the hot compact to the time it is required that the second punch element 40 begin its densification of the main body portion of the hot compact.
  • Operation of the apparatus illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5 involves a placement of a hot compact on the free end of the core rod means 32. Then, the forming stroke of the apparatus is initiated by movement of the ram 42 downwardly so as to insert the free ends of the first and second punch elements into the open end of the die cavity. The free ends of the first and second punch elements are axially offset from one another so that both free ends make simultaneous contact with respective portions of the hot compact.
  • the hot compact is pressed into supported engagement with the core rod means and fully inserted into the die cavity until contact is made with closed end structures of the die cavity. During this insertion, spline configurations are formed in the inner bore of the hot compact.
  • the curved face portion 18 of the compact is shaped to progressively engage the angle defined by a plurality of tooth-shaped projections 56 which extend into the die cavity from the closed end thereof to define a series of tooth sidewalls and bottomlands for a gear.
  • This relationship between the initial shape of a forward end of the compact and the portion of a die which it contacts is very important because a substantial mismatch between the shape of the compact and the shape of the die will produce a stress or bending moment in the compact as it is pressed rapidly into full engagement with the die.
