Definitions
- the present invention concerns agglomerated iron- based powders and a method for the preparation thereof. More specifically, the invention concerns agglomerated iron-based powders for the preparation of wear resistant materials, which combine low friction, good wear resistance and self lubrication and which advantageously can be used in e.g. heavy-duty diesel engines. When using the agglomerated powders these materials can be prepared by conventional technique from inexpensive raw materials ' in existing plants.
- the starting materials for such wear resistant material could be selected from the following materials. a) 63-95 % by weight of a fine base powder consisting essentially of iron and having a particle size essentially less than 75 ⁇ m b) 5-20 % by weight of a lubricating phase having a particle size essentially less than 120 ⁇ m and preferably less than 60 ⁇ m c) 0-15 % by weight of a hard phase material having a particle size essentially less than 10 ⁇ m, and d) 0-7 % of additives including binding agent (s), solvent (s) and optionally lubricant (s)
- the base powder could be selected from the group consisting of prealloyed powders, partially prealloyed powders or pure iron powders.
- prealloyed powders are e.g. Astaloy Mo
- the partially prealloyed powders can be e.g. Distaloy SE and Distaloy AE .
- Pure iron powders which advantageously could be used are e.g. ASC 100.29, NC 100.24, SC 100.26 and AHC 100.29. All powders are available from Hoganas AB, Sweden.
- the lubricating phase according to the invention is present also after the sintering process and is a solid inorganic material.
- examples of such materials are metal sulphides, metal chlorides and metal fluorides.
- a preferred material is MnS.
- the lubricating phase could also be MnX available from Hoganas AB, Sweden. If more than 20 % is added the strength will be adversely affected and if less than 5 % is added the friction will be too high. According to a preferred embodiment the amount of the lubricating phase is 5 - 15 % by weight.
- the hard phase powder is selected from carbides, such as NbC, TiC, VC, TaC. If the amount of the hard phase powder is more than 15 % the compressibility will be too low. According to a preferred embodiment the amount of hard phase powder is not more than 10 %. In practice the amount of the hard phase powder is chosen in view of the desired wear resistance.
- the different additives could be selected from the group consisting of Fe P, graphite and/or various conventional lubricants, such as waxes, stearates and polymers. Unexpected problems were encountered when these powder mixtures should be used on an industrial scale, as it turned out that the powders had essentially no flow and good flow is a necessary prerequisite for industrial production. Other disadvantages involved too much segregation and dusting during handling.
- the binding agent could be any conventioanl binding agent used within the P/M field. More specifically, the binding agent could be selected from the group consisting of polyesters and polyalcohols . Cellulose acetate butyrate is a presently preferred binding agent.
- the solvent depends on the binding agent and is selected from the group consisting of water, alcohols and ketones.
- a preferred solvent is acetone.
- the agglomerated powder which has a particle size essentially between about 75 and 150 ⁇ m, can be uniaxially compacted to a green body having a density exceeding 85 and preferably exceeding 90 percent of the theoretical density.
- the agglomerated powder is compacted at a pressure between about 400 and 800 MPa and subsequently sintered at e.g. 1250°C for 45 minutes in 95/5 N 2 /H 2 . Sizing is performed at eg 800 MPa, carburizing at 860°C for eg 30 minutes in about 0.9 %C and tempering is carried out at a temperature of about 180°C for about 60 minutes.
- the properties of a compacted and sintered product obtained from an agglomerated powder according to the invention were superior to the properties of a correspon- ding material which was obtained with a non-agglomerated powder.
- a powder mix of 20 kg is prepared and put in a Y-cone mixer.
- the acetone and the binder (cellulose acetate butyrate) are added to the mix according to the schedule stated below.
- the group 3 materials needed extra binder and solvent for the granulation to be sufficient.
- the first parameter is the amount of MnS added, the low level is 5% MnS and the high is 15% MnS.
- the second parameter is the type of MnS.
- the first type of MnS is the normal MnS which is added to PM mixes as machining aid and the second type of MnS is a course MnS with a particle size essentially between 60 ⁇ m and 120 ⁇ m using a Tyler mesh standard sieve.
- the mid-point is 10% MnS, that is a mix of 50% normal MnS that has an average particle size essentially less than 60 ⁇ m and 50% of material that has a particle size essentially between 60 ⁇ m and 120 ⁇ m. As no hard phase is added, the amount of binder can be kept low and the compressibility is not much reduced.
- a sintered component based on Cold PMo contains a lot of carbides after sintering. Addition of hard phase requires an increased sintering temperature and is not good for the mechanical properties of the material.
- MnS mix 50% MnS having a particle size essentially less than 60 ⁇ m and 50% MnS having a particle size essentially between 60 and 120 ⁇ m
- Granulation aid 0.15% binder
- the third group of materials is high-speed steel mixes.
- the carbides are useful in order to improve the wear resistance.
- the hard phase together with the M3/2 that has poor compressibility gives the materials with the lowest compressibility.
