- the low melting point metal evaporates rapidly during melting because the vapor pressure of the low melting point metal is high, and the desired alloy composition is obtained. So difficult to control.
- Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. If a high melting point metal is added to this brass, there is a possibility that an improvement in strength can be expected. However, the boiling point of zinc is as low as 907 ° C., and it is not easy to add chromium having a melting point of 1907 ° C., vanadium having a melting point of 1902 ° C., and the like. If the temperature of brass in liquid phase is increased, the amount of evaporation of zinc inevitably increases, and the alloy composition rapidly changes in the copper-rich direction.
- a melting method of the high melting point metal there are an electron beam melting method, a hydrogen plasma arc melting method and the like, but these methods are not suitable for mass production, but are used for small batch processing of rare metals. Moreover, these methods can not prevent evaporation of the low melting point metal.
- Patent Document 3 discloses a method of adding an alloy component to zinc.
- the mother alloy is used for the addition of chromium
- Zn 17 Cr or Zn 13 Cr as a compound is dispersed in the zinc matrix.

- the heating temperature at the time of extrusion processing is preferably 650 ° C. or less.
- the manufacturing method in one embodiment includes the step of adding and mixing 0.2 to 2.0% by weight of graphite particles with respect to the brass alloy powder prior to extrusion processing.
- Novel brass alloy powder preparation method The inventors of the present invention examined a method for producing an unprecedented high strength free-cutting brass member by increasing the strength of brass itself as a base material.
- a method of increasing the strength of brass generally, a method of adding various additives is employed.
- high-strength brass is obtained by adding iron, aluminum, manganese or the like to a copper-zinc alloy and has a high tensile strength of 460 MPa and good corrosion resistance, and thus is applied to propellers for ships and the like.
- this high strength brass is only guaranteed to have an elongation of about 15%, and it can not be said that the workability is never good.
- the water atomization method which is a type of rapid solidification method
- the molten metal is rapidly solidified at a very high speed to produce a powder
- not only non-equilibrium phase appears in the powder but also fine crystal grains
- the inventors of the present invention have newly proposed a powder having a property different from that of a conventional brass powder by adding a small amount of chromium (Cr) as a third element to a brass alloy composed of a mixed phase of ⁇ phase and ⁇ phase.
- Cr chromium
- the present inventors propose a new method for adding chromium, which is a refractory metal, to 6/4 brass.
- chromium which is a refractory metal
- the molten metal must be heated to the melting point of chromium, but such heating temperature exceeds the boiling point of zinc. Therefore, practically, it can be said that it is impossible to heat liquid brass to the melting point of chromium in consideration of the high vapor pressure of zinc.
- the present inventors developed a brass alloy production method using a commercially available Cu-10% Cr master alloy.
- chromium is dispersed as grains of about 10 to 50 ⁇ m in size and is not necessarily in solid solution in copper.
- This mother alloy is first melted at about 1200 ° C. At this temperature, the chromium contained in the master alloy does not dissolve, and therefore, it floats in the liquid phase of copper as it is in solid phase. In this state, add copper and adjust the concentration of chromium to be thin. Then, when the chromium concentration reaches about 4%, the solid-liquid phase line in the phase diagram is crossed to be in the one-phase state of the liquid phase.
- chromium which is a high melting point metal, could be made into a mixed liquid phase with copper.
- a predetermined amount of zinc was added, and when it was quenched and solidified by a water atomizing method, it was possible to obtain a powder having a non-equilibrium phase in which chromium was forcibly dissolved in brass.
- the above-mentioned powder production method developed by the present inventors is an advantageous method for adding a high melting point metal to brass also from the viewpoint of composition control of brass alloy.
- the addition of relatively low melting point nickel and manganese increases the utility value as a powder which can further improve strength.
- graphite added to the brass alloy powder thus obtained and extruding it, a lead-less machinable brass alloy excellent in strength and machinability can be obtained.
- the conventional method of grain refinement has been to repeat the plastic working and heat treatment on the member repeatedly, but if powder metallurgy is used as in the present invention, it is already refined as a starting material Since a powder having a crystalline structure is prepared, no special process for micronization is required. In addition, since the material composition is already determined in the powder state, the composition of the final product can be grasped at this stage. In addition to such production advantages, the material according to the invention has several excellent features as described below.
- chromium hardly dissolves in brass.
- a rapid solidification method such as a water atomization method
- chromium dissolved in a liquid phase is forcibly dissolved in a matrix of brass by a certain amount.
- the component dissolved in the matrix of brass includes a component dispersed and dispersed in the matrix and a component dispersed as a precipitate in the matrix.
- the chromium component forcibly dissolved in the matrix and the chromium component precipitated at the grain boundaries exhibit different effects on the applied stress.
- the chromium component forced to form a solid solution in the matrix suppresses the dislocation movement in the crystal and contributes to the improvement of the proof stress value of the brass alloy member.
- the chromium component precipitated at the grain boundaries suppresses grain boundary sliding to cause extreme work hardening, which greatly contributes to the improvement of tensile strength.
- manganese unlike chromium, basically dissolves in brass. Therefore, manganese does not form intergranular precipitates and does not cause extreme work hardening, but acts to improve both the load resistance value and the tensile strength in a well-balanced manner. The reason is believed to be that manganese in solid solution in the matrix phase pinpoints dislocations.
- Nickel also forms a solid solution completely in brass, but promotes the transformation from ⁇ phase to ⁇ phase in the process of hot extrusion of brass alloy, and forms a fine ⁇ phase in the crystal to greatly contribute to the improvement of proof stress .
- nickel does not contribute to work hardening, the maximum tensile stress is almost the same as that of a powder extruded material to which no nickel is added.
- Chromium, manganese and nickel are transition elements that appear in the fourth period of the periodic table, but as described above, their effects when added to brass are different from one another, and they exhibit completely different behavior. The reason is that each transition element strengthens brass by a different mechanism. Therefore, if two or more elements are added, it is considered that the respective effects are exhibited.
- Vanadium a transition element of the fourth period of the periodic table, has an equilibrium diagram similar to chromium. Therefore, if vanadium is added by the same method as the addition of chromium to make atomized powder, the vanadium component which is forced to form a solid solution in the matrix and the vanadium component which precipitates in grain boundaries appear, and the same reinforcement as chromium The mechanism can improve the performance of brass.
- titanium, silicon, aluminum, tin, etc. which are generally known as reinforcement elements for brass, are also expected to work effectively for strengthening chromium-added brass as an additional additive element.
- phase transformation should be a mixed phase of ⁇ phase and ⁇ phase, but this phase transformation hardly occurs because of high quenching degree.
- phase transformation from the ⁇ phase to the ⁇ phase occurs to become a mixed phase.
- Chromium and manganese were found to have the effect of delaying the transformation to the alpha phase. This is an effect of suppressing atomic diffusion in crystal grains, and is considered to be highly effective in maintaining the non-equilibrium phase formed by rapid solidification.
- the work-hardening phenomenon is manifested remarkably by the grain boundary precipitates in the solidification process suppressing the grain boundary sliding.
- the size of grain boundary precipitates is controlled to a size (maximum length) of about 100 nm to 500 nm.
- the dispersion state of the precipitates is also an important factor, and it is desirable that the raw material powder be homogeneous since it is ideal that the precipitates be uniformly dispersed in the structure. If it is an atomizing method as a powder production method, control of the solidification speed and the powder particle size accompanying it is easy.
- the extrusion temperature is a very important factor in improving the strength of the brass alloy extruded material.
- the extrusion temperature is preferably as low as possible. In order to extrude the powder assembly, the powder needs to be heated. The higher the heating temperature, the faster the atomic diffusion, and the non-equilibrium phase produced by rapid solidification approaches the thermal equilibrium state. Therefore, it is important to extrude the brass alloy powder assembly at the lowest temperature that allows extrusion.
- the preferred extrusion temperature is 650 ° C. or less. It is difficult to determine the lower limit of the extrusion temperature. This is because the lower limit temperature is determined by the size of the extruded billet, the extrusion ratio, the maximum extrusion load of the apparatus, and the like. If extrusion at 500 ° C. is possible, the temperature is an appropriate condition, but in practice, it seems that 550 ° C. or more is required to carry out the extrusion process.
- the present inventors have found that a material of higher strength can be obtained by controlling the extrusion rate at the time of extruding a chromium-containing brass alloy powder aggregate.
- extrusion conditions for obtaining a material of higher strength extrusion at low temperature is effective, and further improvement in strength can be expected by reducing the extrusion speed. This point will be described later based on the experimental results.
- graphite particles may be added to and mixed with the chromium-containing brass alloy powder, and this mixed powder aggregate may be extruded. In order to exhibit the effect of improving the machinability, it is necessary to add 0.2 to 2.0% by weight of graphite particles to the chromium-containing brass alloy powder.
- the particle size of the additive graphite particles is preferably in the range of 1 ⁇ m to 100 ⁇ m.
- the addition amount of chromium is preferably 0.5% by mass or more, more preferably 1.0% by mass or more.
- the upper limit value of the chromium content is 5.0% by mass. Due to limitations at the powder production stage, the upper limit of the chromium concentration in the copper-chromium liquid phase state is 4%. When zinc is added here, the chromium content is 2.4% by mass. It is possible to increase the chromium content by raising the melting temperature of copper-chromium. For example, when the dissolution temperature is raised to 1300 ° C., chromium can be dissolved to a concentration of 8%, and the chromium content when zinc is added is 5.0 mass%. However, at this temperature, the vapor pressure of zinc becomes too high, making composition control difficult. Therefore, the upper limit value of the more preferable chromium content is 2.4 mass%.
- vanadium should be added to the vicinity of the upper limit in order to make the most of the effect of vanadium.
- the concentration of vanadium is 0.3% by mass by the addition of zinc.
- it is necessary to raise the melting temperature.
- the vapor pressure of zinc becomes too high, making it difficult to make a powder with an optimal composition. Therefore, the effect of the addition of vanadium can not but be limited, and strengthening in combination with other elements is required.
- the brass alloy can be further strengthened by supplementarily adding manganese in combination with the above chromium addition or chromium and vanadium addition.
- the addition amount of manganese it was confirmed that a sufficient effect can be obtained at 0.5% by mass.
- the more preferable addition amount of manganese is 1 to 3% by mass, and when the amount is exceeded, the elongation may be reduced, which may result in the deterioration of the processability of brass.
- nickel Since nickel is completely dissolved in copper, it can be alloyed by adding an arbitrary amount in the Cu—Zn—Ni system. Therefore, in the present invention, there is no upper limit in particular about the addition amount of nickel.
- the addition of nickel has a special effect of increasing only the proof stress value, and a proof stress value exceeding 300 MPa can be realized with an addition amount of 1% by mass.
- the proof stress is more important than the tensile strength.
- the greatest effect of the present invention is the inclusion of a predetermined amount of chromium in 6/4 brass, but the addition of more nickel provides more advantages. Since chromium has a high melting point, it is not easy to add even trace amounts. The use of thermal equilibrium in metallurgy has already been described as a means of overcoming this. Naturally, both elements should be added to simultaneously exhibit the effects of chromium and nickel. There is an easier method as an addition method in this case. That is, in order to add only chromium, the process described above is to be taken, but in order to add also nickel at the same time, it is preferable that the mother alloy initially contains chromium and nickel.
- Nickel-chromium alloys are commercially available and their melting point is lowered to 1345 ° C. by alloying. It is possible to melt this alloy and copper using a high frequency furnace. Although the mixing ratio of nickel to chromium is 1: 1, the melt can be made much easier than manufacturing using a copper-chromium master alloy. If it is carried out to add nickel using this method, the preferable upper limit of the amount of added nickel is 2.4% by mass like chromium.
- the upper limit of the amount of addition of nickel is not particularly limited, but it is desirable to keep the addition of 5% by mass or less as a range that does not impair the characteristics as brass. If the content of nickel is in this range, it is possible to make an alloy having desired mechanical properties, and it becomes applicable to a wide range of application.
- the additive effect is exhibited at about several percent, at least 0.1% or more.
- the appropriate amounts and combinations of various elements differ depending on the mechanical properties to be obtained. From the viewpoint of improving the strength, zirconium exhibits a grain refining effect, so even if it is added at 0.1%, its effect is sufficiently recognized, and it can be said from the hole-pitch's rule of thumb that it is a clear strengthening element.
- Titanium, aluminum and the like increase the strength of the matrix by solid solution strengthening, and therefore the addition of a small amount of 1% or less exerts the effect.
- Silicon is usually an element used for dispersion strengthening, and addition of about 3% is an appropriate amount. However, due to the balance with other elements, addition may not always lead to strengthening. In particular, in the alloy system of the present invention, if the chromium precipitation site and the silicon dispersion site are at the same location, the strengthening effect can not be obtained. Therefore, the addition amount of silicon is in a relation of being limited by the addition amount of chromium, and it can be said that the total amount of chromium and silicon is 3% or less.
- Tin forms a solid solution at about 0.3% to exhibit the effect as a strengthening element, but when the addition amount is increased, a ⁇ phase appears, which causes embrittlement, and a large amount addition is not preferable, 0.1 It can be said that the range of% to 0.5% is preferable.
- the X-ray-diffraction result of the produced powder is shown in FIG. Only the ⁇ phase was detected in the Cr-free brass alloy powder and the brass alloy powder to which 0.5% by mass of Cr was added. In the brass alloy powder to which 1.0 mass% of Cr was added, two phases of ⁇ phase and ⁇ phase were detected. In the case of the 6/4 brass composition, when the liquid phase is crossed the solid-liquid line, it becomes a ⁇ phase, and the rapidly solidified powder is generally cooled without ⁇ transformation. As a result of investigating in detail the brass alloy powder of 1.0 mass% Cr addition, it was a mixed state of alpha phase powder and beta phase powder.
- Extrusion of 1.0 mass% Cr-added brass alloy powder A powder of composition 59% Cu-40% Zn-1% Cr prepared by a water atomizing method was pressed at 600 MPa to make a billet for extrusion.
- the billet was heated in an electric furnace and extruded.
- the temperature conditions of the electric furnace for heating were set to four types of 650 ° C., 700 ° C., 750 ° C. and 780 ° C.
- the billet was processed by an extruder at an extrusion speed of 3 mm / s and an extrusion ratio of 37 to obtain a bar.
- a tensile test specimen having a distance between scores of 10 mm and a waist circumference of 3 mm was cut out of the bar and subjected to a tensile test to measure a 0.2% proof stress value and a maximum tensile strength. The results are shown in Table 2.
- the billet was heated to a temperature of 650 ° C. and extruded showed high values in maximum tensile strength and 0.2% proof stress value. These mechanical strengths tended to decrease as the heating temperature was raised. Therefore, as for the heating temperature of the billet before extrusion, 650 degrees C or less is desirable.
- a tensile test specimen having a distance between scores of 10 mm and a waist circumference of 3 mm was cut out of the bar and subjected to a tensile test to measure a 0.2% proof stress value and a maximum tensile strength. The results are shown in Table 3.
- the billet heated at a temperature of 650 ° C. and extruded showed high values in maximum tensile strength and 0.2% proof stress value. These mechanical strengths tended to decrease as the heating temperature was raised. Therefore, as for the heating temperature of the billet before extrusion, 650 degrees C or less is desirable.
- the values of 0.5% Cr addition and 1.0% Cr addition showed substantially the same value. Therefore, it was found that the proof stress is maintained even if the amount of chromium added is small. However, the maximum tensile strength decreases as the amount of chromium decreases. While this shows that the proof stress value is determined by the amount of chromium which is forced to form a solid solution, the maximum tensile stress supports the increase of the degree of work hardening due to the precipitation of excess chromium at grain boundaries.
- a tensile test specimen having a distance between scores of 10 mm and a waist circumference of 3 mm was cut out of the bar and subjected to a tensile test to measure a 0.2% proof stress value and a maximum tensile strength.
- the one obtained by heating and extruding the billet at 650 ° C. had a 0.2% proof stress value of 311 MPa and a maximum tensile strength of 479 MPa.
- These mechanical strengths tended to decrease as the heating temperature was raised. Therefore, as for the heating temperature of the billet before extrusion, 650 degrees C or less is desirable.
- Extrusion of 0.7 mass% Mn-added brass alloy powder A powder of composition 59% Cu-40% Zn-0.7 %% Mn prepared by a water atomizing method was pressed at 600 MPa to make a billet for extrusion.
- the billet was heated in an electric furnace and extruded.
- the temperature conditions of the electric furnace for heating were set to four types of 650 ° C., 700 ° C., 750 ° C. and 780 ° C.
- the billet was processed by an extruder at an extrusion speed of 3 mm / s and an extrusion ratio of 37 to obtain a bar.
- a tensile test specimen having a distance between scores of 10 mm and a waist circumference of 3 mm was cut out of the bar and subjected to a tensile test to measure a 0.2% proof stress value and a maximum tensile strength.
- the one obtained by heating and extruding the billet at 650 ° C. had a 0.2% proof stress value of 291 MPa and a maximum tensile strength of 503 MPa.
- These mechanical strengths tended to decrease as the heating temperature was raised. Therefore, as for the heating temperature of the billet before extrusion, 650 degrees C or less is desirable.
- Extrusion of Cr-free brass alloy powder A powder of composition 60% Cu-40% Zn prepared by a water atomizing method was compressed at 600 MPa to be a billet for extrusion. The billet was heated in an electric furnace and extruded. The temperature conditions of the electric furnace for heating were set to four types of 650 ° C., 700 ° C., 750 ° C. and 780 ° C. The billet was processed by an extruder at an extrusion speed of 3 mm / s and an extrusion ratio of 37 to obtain a bar.
- a tensile test specimen having a distance between scores of 10 mm and a waist circumference of 3 mm was cut out of the bar and subjected to a tensile test to measure a 0.2% proof stress value and a maximum tensile strength. The results are shown in Table 4.
- the billet heated at a temperature of 650 ° C. and extruded showed high values in maximum tensile strength and 0.2% proof stress. These mechanical strengths tended to decrease as the heating temperature was raised. Therefore, as for the heating temperature of the billet before extrusion, 650 degrees C or less is desirable.
- a tensile test was carried out by cutting a tensile test specimen having a distance between scores of 10 mm and a waist circumference of 3 mm from the bar.
- the one obtained by heating and extruding the billet at 650 ° C. had a 0.2% proof stress value of 226 MPa and a maximum tensile strength of 442 MPa.
- the powder billet exhibits higher numerical values in both of the maximum tensile strength and the 0.2% proof stress value than the molten billet. Specifically, by using a green compact billet, the maximum tensile strength is improved by 5.4%, and the 0.2% proof stress value is improved by 20.7%. From this point of view alone, the superiority of powder metallurgy is clear.
- the extruded material of the green compact billet to which 1.0 mass% of Cr is added has the maximum tension
- the strength is improved by 27.8%
- the 0.2% proof stress value is improved by 40.2%. It is considered that the fact that the 0.2% proof stress value is greatly improved is the solid solution strengthening by the forced-solid solution chromium.
- the maximum tensile strength of the powder billet added with Cr is greatly improved as compared to the powder billet with no addition of Cr. This is because, during the solidification process of the powder production process, chromium which did not form a solid solution is concentrated at grain boundaries to cause segregation of chromium at grain boundaries, resulting in spherical precipitates having a diameter of about 100 nm to 500 nm. It is considered that the cause is mainly existing at grain boundary triple points and grain boundaries. Such fine precipitates act as a large resistance to grain boundary sliding during plastic deformation, and as a result, exhibit a high degree of work hardening.

- FIG. 5 shows an SEM image of an extruded material of a 1% by mass Cr-added brass alloy green compact billet.
- the brass alloy powder or brass alloy powder extruded material is mainly described, but the present invention is also applicable to a brass alloy member. That is, the brass alloy member has a brass composition composed of a mixed phase of ⁇ phase and ⁇ phase, contains 0.5 to 5.0% by mass of chromium, and further, nickel, manganese, zirconium, vanadium, titanium, silicon, It contains at least one element selected from the group consisting of aluminum and tin.
- the difference between the yield stress of the chromium-free brass alloy member and the yield stress of the chromium-added brass alloy member is represented on the vertical axis, and the concentration (%) of the chromium component in solid solution in the matrix is represented on the horizontal axis.
- the increase in yield stress was 34 MPa when the solid solution amount of chromium was 0.22%, and the increase amount of yield stress was 54 MPa when the solid solution amount of chromium was 0.35%.
- the yield stress increased in proportion to the concentration of chromium in solid solution in the matrix of brass.
- the average particle size of the graphite particles used was 5 ⁇ m.

- FIG. 7 is a graph showing the relationship between the amount of graphite particles added and the machinability. It was found that when the graphite particles were added to the chromium-containing brass alloy powder and extrusion processing was performed, the machinability was dramatically improved.

- the amount of graphite added was 0.75% or more, the penetration time was 20 seconds or less, and a drastic improvement in the machinability was observed. Therefore, in the case of a 0.5% chromium-containing brass alloy, it can be said that the addition of 0.75% or more of graphite is a condition suitable for greatly improving the machinability.
- the penetration time was 180 seconds or more even when 0.5% of graphite was added.

Abstract
Description
本願発明の発明者らは、基材となる黄銅そのものの強度を上げることによって、従来にはない高強度の快削性黄銅部材を作る方法について検討した。黄銅の強度を上げる方法として、一般的には、種々の添加物を加える方法が採用される。例えば、高力黄銅は、銅亜鉛合金に、鉄、アルミニウム、マンガンなどを添加したものであり、その引張強さが460MPaと高く、耐食性も良好なため、船舶用プロペラ等に応用されている。しかしながら、この高力黄銅は、その伸びが15%程度しか保証されず、決して加工性が良いとはいえない。 [Novel brass alloy powder preparation method]
The inventors of the present invention examined a method for producing an unprecedented high strength free-cutting brass member by increasing the strength of brass itself as a base material. As a method of increasing the strength of brass, generally, a method of adding various additives is employed. For example, high-strength brass is obtained by adding iron, aluminum, manganese or the like to a copper-zinc alloy and has a high tensile strength of 460 MPa and good corrosion resistance, and thus is applied to propellers for ships and the like. However, this high strength brass is only guaranteed to have an elongation of about 15%, and it can not be said that the workability is never good.
通常、クロムは、黄銅にほとんど固溶しない。しかし、水アトマイズ法のような急冷凝固法を採用することにより、液相状態で溶解しているクロムは、ある一定量だけ、黄銅の母相中に強制固溶される。また、凝固の過程における結晶の成長に伴い、クロムの一部は、結晶粒界に凝縮して微細結晶粒として析出する。黄銅の母相中に固溶する成分は、厳密に言えば、母相中に固溶して分散する成分と、母相中に析出物として分散する成分とを含む。母相中に強制固溶したクロム成分と、結晶粒界に析出したクロム成分とは、加えられる応力に対して異なった作用を呈する。すなわち、母相中に強制固溶したクロム成分は、結晶中の転位運動を抑制して黄銅合金部材の耐力値の向上に寄与する。他方、結晶粒界に析出したクロム成分は、粒界すべりを抑制して極度の加工硬化を引き起こし、引張強度の向上に大きく寄与する。 [Effect of addition of third element]
Usually, chromium hardly dissolves in brass. However, by adopting a rapid solidification method such as a water atomization method, chromium dissolved in a liquid phase is forcibly dissolved in a matrix of brass by a certain amount. In addition, with the growth of crystals in the process of solidification, part of chromium condenses at grain boundaries and precipitates as fine crystal grains. Strictly speaking, the component dissolved in the matrix of brass includes a component dispersed and dispersed in the matrix and a component dispersed as a precipitate in the matrix. The chromium component forcibly dissolved in the matrix and the chromium component precipitated at the grain boundaries exhibit different effects on the applied stress. That is, the chromium component forced to form a solid solution in the matrix suppresses the dislocation movement in the crystal and contributes to the improvement of the proof stress value of the brass alloy member. On the other hand, the chromium component precipitated at the grain boundaries suppresses grain boundary sliding to cause extreme work hardening, which greatly contributes to the improvement of tensile strength.
本発明の効果が顕著に現れる要因は、急冷凝固法によって黄銅合金粉末を作製することによって、非平衡相および微細な結晶粒を生成することに加えて、クロムの粒界析出を利用した加工硬化を引き起こしたことにある。本発明者らは、急冷凝固法の一例として、水アトマイズ法を利用した。6/4黄銅組成の水アトマイズ粉末の特徴は、非平衡相のβ相になることである。より具体的に説明する。6/4黄銅合金の急冷凝固過程において、固液相線を越えたところはβ相領域であるので、粉末はβ相として凝固する。そのままゆっくりと冷却すれば、相変態してα相とβ相の混合相になるはずであるが、急冷度が高いためにこの相変態はほとんど起こらない。このβ相粉末を熱間加工する過程で昇温したとき、β相からα相への相変態が起こり、混合相となる。 [Rapid solidification method]
In addition to the formation of non-equilibrium phase and fine crystal grains by producing a brass alloy powder by a rapid solidification method, a factor for the effects of the present invention to be prominent is a work hardening using grain boundary precipitation of chromium. The cause is The present inventors utilized the water atomization method as an example of the rapid solidification method. The characteristic of water atomized powder of 6/4 brass composition is that it becomes the beta phase of non-equilibrium phase. It will be described more specifically. In the rapid solidification process of the 6/4 brass alloy, the powder solidifies as a β phase because it is a β phase region beyond the solid-liquid line. If it is cooled slowly as it is, the phase transformation should be a mixed phase of α phase and β phase, but this phase transformation hardly occurs because of high quenching degree. When the temperature is raised in the process of hot working of the β phase powder, phase transformation from the β phase to the α phase occurs to become a mixed phase.
黄銅合金押出材の強度の向上には、押出温度が非常に重要な因子となる。押出温度は、低いほど望ましい。粉末の集合体を押出加工するには、粉末を加熱する必要がある。この加熱温度が高ければ、原子拡散が早くなり、急冷凝固で作られた非平衡相が熱平衡状態に近づいてしまう。従って、黄銅合金粉末集合体を、押出加工が可能な最低温度で押出すことが重要である。好ましい押出温度は650℃以下である。押出温度の下限値を決定することは困難である。なぜなら、下限温度は、押出ビレットの大きさ、押出比、装置の押出最大荷重等によって決まるからである。500℃での押出が可能であればその温度が適切な条件であるといえるが、実際には、押出加工を行なうには550℃以上が必要になると思われる。 [Extrusion processing]
The extrusion temperature is a very important factor in improving the strength of the brass alloy extruded material. The extrusion temperature is preferably as low as possible. In order to extrude the powder assembly, the powder needs to be heated. The higher the heating temperature, the faster the atomic diffusion, and the non-equilibrium phase produced by rapid solidification approaches the thermal equilibrium state. Therefore, it is important to extrude the brass alloy powder assembly at the lowest temperature that allows extrusion. The preferred extrusion temperature is 650 ° C. or less. It is difficult to determine the lower limit of the extrusion temperature. This is because the lower limit temperature is determined by the size of the extruded billet, the extrusion ratio, the maximum extrusion load of the apparatus, and the like. If extrusion at 500 ° C. is possible, the temperature is an appropriate condition, but in practice, it seems that 550 ° C. or more is required to carry out the extrusion process.
第三元素の添加量については、各種元素により適量がある。 [Amount of addition of element]

クロムを添加することによって黄銅合金部材の降伏応力が増大することが認められるが、この降伏応力増大に寄与するのは、クロムのうち、特に、黄銅の母相中に固溶して分散するクロム成分である。組織解析の結果を利用し、析出物を定量化することで添加したクロムの量から母相中に固溶したクロムの量を算出した。 [Increase in yield stress (YS)]
It is recognized that the addition of chromium increases the yield stress of the brass alloy member, and the contribution to the increase of the yield stress is, among the chromium, chromium which is dispersed and dispersed in the matrix of brass in particular. It is an ingredient. Using the result of the structure analysis, the amount of chromium dissolved in the matrix was calculated from the amount of chromium added by quantifying the precipitates.
粉末押出による黄銅合金押出材の作製においては、黒鉛粒子を添加することにより、鉛フリーにして環境への悪影響を抑制することができる。一般の黄銅に対して黒鉛を添加することは過去になされたことがあるが、クロムを添加して強度を向上させた黄銅合金に対して黒鉛を添加した前例は無い。そこで、クロム添加により強度を向上させた黄銅への黒鉛添加を行い、切削性の向上を試みた。 [Improvement of machinability by addition of graphite particles]
In the production of a brass alloy extruded material by powder extrusion, it is possible to make it lead-free and suppress an adverse effect on the environment by adding graphite particles. Although the addition of graphite to general brass has been made in the past, there is no precedent to the addition of graphite to a brass alloy whose strength has been improved by the addition of chromium. Therefore, we tried to improve the machinability by adding graphite to brass whose strength was improved by chromium addition.
本発明者らは、クロム含有黄銅合金の押出速度を制御することで、より高強度の材料が得られることを見出した。高強度材を得るための押出条件としては、低温での押出が効果的であるが、さらに押出速度を低速にすることにより、より強度を向上させることができる。実測値を記載すると、1.0%クロム含有黄銅合金の場合、通常の押出速度(ラム速度3mm/s)で押出を行ったときの耐力値は317MPaで、最大引張強度は565MPaであったが、この押出速度を十分の一(ラム速度0.3mm/s)に減じて押出加工を行ったところ、耐力値は467MPaまで向上し、最大引張強度は632MPaまで向上した。 [Strength improvement by low speed extrusion]
The present inventors have found that by controlling the extrusion rate of the chromium-containing brass alloy, a higher strength material can be obtained. As extrusion conditions for obtaining high strength materials, extrusion at low temperature is effective, but by further reducing the extrusion speed, the strength can be further improved. In the case of a 1.0% chromium-containing brass alloy, the proof stress value is 317MPa and the maximum tensile strength is 565MPa when extruded at a normal extrusion speed (ram speed 3 mm / s). When extrusion was carried out by reducing the extrusion speed to one tenth (ram speed 0.3 mm / s), the yield strength was improved to 467 MPa and the maximum tensile strength was improved to 632 MPa.
