Definitions

  • Metallic sintered alloys are prepared from a composition of metal powder and the alloying components and/or from an alloying powder and admixtures of carbides such as chromium-carbides by pressure and sintering. If desired, a following cold or warm working step may be used to improve the densification.
  • the starting powder composition contains 05-50 percent by weight of carbides consisting completely or substantially of complex chromiumcarbides and/or complex manganesecarbides and/or mixed carbides compose these elements.
  • This invention relates to metallic sintering alloys, especially sintering steel alloys and powder mixtures for producing such alloys.
  • These powders consist of a composition of metal and the alloying components and/or alloying powder with additions of carbides, for example, chromium carbides.
  • the powder mixtures are pressed and sintered and, if desired, further densificd by a cold or warm processing step.
  • alloyed sinter steels of ferrous powder, carbon and alloying components in a metallic condition, for example, powder condition or of alloyed powders which are completed alloys with regard to their chemical composition but in powdered form which is produced, for example, by atomizing of alloyed smelts.
  • eta-carbides as an alloying component for producing alloyed steels, however, only for producing high speed steels, by way of a powdermetallurgical method.
  • the carbides added according to said conventional method serve as a carburizing or hardness improving agent, whereby up to 10 percent by weight of one or several carbides of vanadium, molybdenum, chromium and titanium are used.
  • the mechanical characteristics of well known sinter steel alloys are inferior to steel alloys having an equivalent chemical composition but produced by a smelt-metallurgical process because sintered alloys, as is known, used to always retain a certain porosity impairing the mechanical characteristics.
  • alloying components of a high oxygen affinity are used in the well known methods, a further impairment of the mechanical characteristics is caused by oxide inclusions.
  • a metallic sintered alloy which with regard to its chemical composition corresponds to the composition of metallurgically alloyed steels such as construction steels, tool-steels, valve-steels or the like;
  • the foregoing objects will be achieved by using for the compressing and sintering process a powder mixture comprising metal and carbide components as well as additives, wherein the carbide components contain 0.5 to 50 percent by weight of the total mixture, and wherein the carbide components consist completely or substantially of complex chromium carbides and/or manganese-carbides and/or mixed carbides of said elements.
  • oxide inclusions are substantially avoided and the porosity of the finished sintered alloy is very much reduced, since the complex carbides have an extremely high resistance to oxidation under the conditions of the sintering process, and because said complex carbides go into solution within the ferrous matrix.
  • carbides were added mainly as carborizing agents.
  • the complex carbides are used as real alloying components generally, for obtaining very good mechanical characteristics and not merely a higher hardness.
  • the great advantage of the method according to the invention is seen in that it enables to use the sintering method for producing steels alloyed with chromium and/or manganese.
  • the alloy according to the invention is produced by pressure molding and sintering the mixture or composition, comprising an iron or alloyed steel powder, alloying powder, the complex carbides, and, if desired, further alloying elements.
  • the alloy may then be subjected to an after treatment such as cold or warm deformation, calibrating, hot pressing, die forging, extruding or the like for producing shaped bodies having not only the desired shape but also a very high density.
  • the complex carbide compositions are of the structure type M C and/or M C and/or M C whereby M is the metal component and C is the carbon. It is also possible to add mixed carbides of the foregoing types.
  • the carbide compositions used according to the invention contain elements of the 4th, 5th, and/or 6th group of the periodical system of elements, whereby these carbides may be used in the form of composed or mixed carbides and whereby the characteristics of the sinter alloy can be influenced in the same manner as is known from the melting metallurgy.
  • Such elements are, for instance, titanium, vanadium, molybdenum, wolfram and noibium.
  • ferrous carbonaceous alloys in addition to the compositions of carbide.
  • per cent figures mean per cent by weight of the total composition.
  • EXAMPLE 1 A mixture of ferrous powder and 2 percent of complex chromium-manganese mixed carbide powder, wherein Cr/Mn are present at the ratio of H125, and to which 0.5 percent of a pressing facilitating agent such as stearic acid was added, was pressed to a blank of a density of 6.5g/cm and sintered for 60 minutes at a temperature of 1200C.
  • a pressing facilitating agent such as stearic acid
  • the pressed and sintered blank had a density of 6.9g/cm and a Brinell hardness of HB 2.5/1 87.5 of l50kp/mm Thereafter the sintered blank was drop-forged in a die whereby the density was increased to 7.79g/cm and the Brinell hardness to HB 2.5/l87.5 to 250kp/mm
  • EXAMPLE 2 A mixture of an alloyed ferrous powder including 1.6 percent of Ni and 2 percent of complex chromiummanganese mixed carbide powder, wherein Cr/Mn are present at the ratio of l/0.3, 0.05 percent of carbon and 1 percent of a pressing facilitating agent such as stearic acid was pressed to form a blank having a density of 6.0g/cm and sintered at a temperature of 1250C for 30 minutes.
  • the density of the sintered blank was 6.8g/cm and the Brinell hardness l-lB 5/5 was lOkp/mm
  • the sintered blank was repressed under a pressure of 7 tons/cm at a temperature of 1150C whereby a density of 7.76g/cm was achieved.
  • the alloy had a Brinell hardness HB 2.5/187.5 of 340kp/mm a tensile strength of lkp/mm a yield point of 70kp/mm and an impact strength of 5m kp.
  • EXAMPLE 3 A mixture comprising ferrous powder, 12 percent Nipowder and of complex chromium manganese mixed carbide powder, wherein the ratio of Cr/Mn was l/l and 1 percent of a pressing facilitating agent such as stearic acid was pressed to a blank of a density of 6.3g/cm and sintered at a temperature of 1200C for 60 minutes to reach a density of 7.0g/cm The blank was then densitied by drop-forging in two deforming steps to a density of 7.97g/cm The tensile strength of the alloy was 95kp/mm EXAMPLE 4 A mixture comprising ferrous powder 0.5 percent of Mn, 0.4 percent of Si, percent of complex chromium-carbide containing molybdenum and vanadium in the ratios of Cr/Mo/V 18/1/0.

The sintered blank was drop-forged and calibrated by a cold process.
  • the final density was 7.75g/cm and the tensile strength of the alloy was 72kp/mm
  • complex carbide refers to carbides of low carbon content, so called carbon poor carbides as distinguished from carbon rich carbides.
