Description
® Method of produc ing diamond segments for cutting tools.
The invention relates to a method of producing a diamond segment for a cutting tool by sintering, consisting in successively performing: - mixing of meatal powders with diamond particles, - preforming of the mixture by cold compression to obtain a handleable preform, - and hot presintering of the preform to eliminate the compaction residues and de-oxidize the preform while performing a beginning of sintering.
State of the art
Manufacturing diamond segments of cutting tools is bassed on powder metallurgy which consists in consolidating metal powders of® predetermined composition with grains of natural or synthetic diamond toy thermal and mechanical effect. Whe product obtained is a body compossed of sintered metal having characteristics that depend on the nature of t he basic metal powders and on the sintering conditions.
The following different techniques are commonly used for manufacturing diamond segments: - free sintering: consolidation is performed in a furnace uncer a neutral or reducing atmospheres without any mechanical energy being provided, - pressure sintering: consolidation is performed in a fumrnace under a neutral or reducing atmosphere with additional energy bein g provided by pressure (gas or mec hanical).
® The free sintering technique is performed a.t a temperature comprised between 900°C and 1200°C at atmospheric pressure. The manufacturing cycle time is fairly long (a few hours), and the compactness obt=ained for the sintered mate rial is about 92% to 95%. The ressidual porosity of the parts after sintering is then liable to impair the mecha nical strength of the sintered material and of the diamond. The thermostabil ity of the diamord is in fact considerably affected when the temperature at low pressu re exceeds 1000°C.
The mechanic al pressure sintering technique is performed at a &emperature comprised between 700°C and 1200°C at a presssure of 250 to 4-00 bars (25 to 40 MPA). The cycle time is about 15mm and the compoactness is comprised between 97% and 99%. This techrique requires c=onsiderable manpower, and the use of graphite pistons to apply the loading in creases the cost of the con-sumables.
The gas pressure sintering technique is pe-rformed at a t-emperature comprised between 700°C and 1000°C and at a= pressure of 20000 to 2500 bars (200 to 2 50 MPA). The compactness achi-eved is 99% to 100%, with cycle times off a few hours. This technique also requires ceconsiderable manpower, anc] costly investments for the manufacturing installation.
Whatever the sintering technique used, the stancdard manufacturieng steps of the diamond se=gments by sintering are as follows : - mixing metal powders with the diamond g rains, - preformaing the products by cold pressingy causing compacztion of the mixture, - assembling sintering cells, - free or poressure sintering, - recover ing the sintered products, - finishing the sintered products.
® The presence of the diamond in the diamond segments me=ans that the manufacturer has to work at as low temperatures as possible to avoid damaging the diamond. In addition, to have a correct lifetimes and cutting qualities, the residual porosity must be low, notably less than 2%.
These two imperatives lead to the following constraints: * use of a sintering process wherein a pressure is applied, » use of costly fine powders having a granulometry of less thar 50 microns, enabling the sintering conditions to be reduced.
This results in a considerable additional manufacturing cost of the diamond segments in comparison with free sintering.
Low-cost metal powders commonly used in metallurgy exist, Bout they are rougher, in particular more than 50 microns. These materials carnot be used for diamond cutting tools manufactured according to one of the above- mentioned sintering techniques, as the temperature and pressuire used are too low to correctly reduce the porosity of the sintered structure.
The document CH 4-71 641 describes a method for manufacturing diamond tools using a cold compressed powder containing a hard cambide and a ferrous metal, the impregnation temperature being at least e=qual to the melting temperature of copper and at most equal to 1130°C.
Object of the invention
A first object of the invention consists in developing a method of producing diamond segments for cutting tools, based on sintered metal powders, enabling a homoge neous structure with a low residual porosity to be obtained, and with im proved mechanical characteristics.
® According to the inventio n, this object is achieved by the fact that, a¥fter presintering, the preform is subjected to a forging operation by closed -die application of a mechanical pressure comprised betwveen 400 MPA and 7700
MPA, the application time of said pressure being akoout a few seconds aand the forging temperature bering less than 1000°C. The residual porosity of the forged part is less than 2% .
The die is previously heate d to a temperature compri sed between 200°C a nd 450°C and the mechanical forging pressure is applied to the preform by means of a press stamp. Preferably, before presin tering, dewaxing of t he preform is performed between 420°C and 560°C followed by cooling under a nitrogen flow.
A second object of the invention concerns the usse of a low-cost metal powder containing iron as brinder in manufacture of diamond segments by aot sintering, thus enabling the porosity to be eliminated to increase the density of the structure.
The binder contains for this purpose a mixture of 509% - 100% in weight of a steel powder containing Fe, C, Ni, and Mo, with a gr&anulometry of less thaan 300 microns, and 0% to 50% in weight of an eleme=nt A able to be either bronze, tungsten carbide, or any other element or compound designed €o modify the characteristics of the binder.
The composition of the steel powder contains in % of veveight: - 90% - 97% of Fe, - 001%-0.1% of C, - 1% - 3% of Ni, - 0.1% - 0.8% of Mo. - Possibly other elements such as Chrormium, Vanadium or
Manganese.
® Im the case where the element A is bronze, the cormnposition of the steel powder is preferably in % of weight: - 1.8% - 2% of Ni, - C content less than 0.06%, 5 - 0.5% - 0.6% of Mo, - 0.15% - 0.25% of Mn, : - Fe balance with 20% of bronze. The bronze of the element A can advantageously be irregular 90/10 bronze with a granulometry of less tan 400 mesh.
In the case where the element A is tungsten carbide, tBhe composition of the st eel powder is preferably in % of weight: - 1.5% - 2% of Ni, - 1.35% - 1.65% of Cu, - C content less than 0.01%, - 0.45% - 0.6% of Mo, with 10% of tungsten carbide. The tungsten carbide of the element A has a gr anulometry of less than 35 microns.
Other advantages and features will become more clear-ly apparent from the foklowing description of particular embodiments of the in\vention given as non- restrictive examples only and represented in the accom panying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a synoptic view of the steps of the method of producing according to the invention;
Figure 2 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of thes closed and heated dies forging step.
® Detailed diescription of the invention
The invention relates to the use of the forging technique to apply a high pressure to preformed parts made fromm metal powders, heated to high temperatures, enabling the porosity of these materials to be fully closed.
Densificaticon of the metal is obtained byw hot dynamic energy tramnsmission.
Such a forging technique is particularly =suitable for manufacturin g diamond segments musing mixtures of low-cost metal powders to replace conventional sintered birders.
Two examples of compositions of me-tal powders used in tke method according to the invention will be given he=reafter.
Example 1 : Steel and bronze based poswder
Mixture of 80 % weight of a steel powder ccomprising: * Fe 1 >90% + C : <0.06 % *» Ni 1% -2% * Mo : 05% -06% + Mn : 0.15% -0.25%
Granulome€ry: + 250u : 0 % 150 — 250u : < 18 % 45u — 150 : balance <45u: 15-30% and 20 % w eight of irregular 90/10 bronze <400 mesh.
® This mixture is particularly suitable for producing tools for cutting hard concrete. The diamond composition is variable and adaptesd to the type of cutting, to the diameter of the tool, and to the power of the nmachine.
Example 2: Steel and tungsten carbide base powder
Mixture o f 90 % weight of a steel powder comprising: * Fe : >90% + C :<0.01% * Ni :1.58% -1.93% * Cu 01.35% -1.65% * Mo : 0.45% - 0.55 %
Granulonmetry: +212 1: 0% 180u —-212u:<2% 150 u— 180u : balance 150u —212p:< 12% 45u - 150 : balance <45u: 10-30% and 10 % weight of tungsten carbide with a granulometry of | ess than 35 p.
This mixtwre is particularly suitable for producing tools for- cutting asphalt.
The diameond composition is variable and adapted to the twpe of cutting, to the diame-ter of the tool, and to the power of the machine.
Adding various elements such as graphite, ferro-alloys eittmer carburized or not, bron=ze, copper... enables properties to be obtainecd making these binders suitable for any cutting use with a diamond tool.
The different steps of the method for producing the diamorad segments are illustrated in figure 1:
) Steep 1: Preparation and mixing of the powders
Th e metal powders according to one of the two examples 1 or 2 are first mi=xed together and with the diarmond particles in a predetermined proportion.
Step 2: Cold compression
Th is compaction operation by cold compression of the mixture is performed in econventional manner with thes suitable mould on a hydraulic or mechanical pre=ss to obtain a handleable preeform. The pressures typically range from 100 to E300 MPA depending on the nature of the metal powders of the mixture.
Step 3: Presintering
Ths operation is essentially designed to eliminate the organic compaction ressidues, to deoxidize the parts, and to perform a beginning of sintering.
Prieor dewaxing is performed between 420°C and 560°C for a pezriod of 5 to 30 minutes.
Preasintering is then performed im a furnace between 820°C and 900° C for 3 to 30 minutes under a reducing gas flow. Presintering may be carried out in the ~ same enclosure as dewaxing.
After cooling, the presintered seegments can receive an oxidatiom protection layer. A D17A type graphite spray is used for this purpose. If the parts have been cooled, heating is finally performed under a neutral or redu«<cing gas at forging temperature, for example: 870°C.
Ste p 4: Forging for closing the porosities
Thee forging operation is perforrmed by applying a pressure in & cold die, prewiously heated to between 2«€00°C and 450°C and lubricated. The press use d can be a mechanical or hydraulic screw press.
) The mechanical pre ssure is applied on the presintered part PR by nmeans of a stamp 10, as illustrated in figure 2. The pressures vary accordin g to the working conditions and the material. For the aforementioned examples, the values are as follows: - forging pressure between 400 MPA and 700 MPA, - effective forging termperature at die input of about 750°C - 850°C, - pressure application time less than 5 seconds.
Step 5: Subsequen-t treatments
The forged parts are then sand-blasted and cooled, possibly with a thermal treatment, and final rmachining.
Using the forging teechnique according to the invention is less cos tly than conventional mechamical pressure sintering, as it enables low-cost rougher powders, more or lesss greater than 50 microns, to be used while ke=eping a relatively moderate temperature of about 750°C to 950°C to avoid daamaging the diamond. Moreover, the mechanical properties are considerably improved on accourmt of the fact that a compactness of more than 98% is obtained.
Increasing from a demsity of 7.6 to 7.85 (100 % density) gives a 40 % gain in tensile strength, whemeas the elongation at break is multiplied by 5. Reducing the porosity enables the resilience to be multiplied by 6, whereas i& varies little between 95 % and 98 % compactness obtained with conventional sintering.
The mixture of powders according to the aforementioned example 1 o-r 2 can thus easily be forgeed and can advantageously replace the conveantional sintered binders to produce diamond segments for cutting tools.
The preform is preferably handled in a gas flow for protection against oxidation.
® Whe mixture of powders contains 50% - 100% in weigght of a steel powder containing Fe, C, Ni, and Mo, with a granulometry of lesss than 300 microns.
I. n addition, the steel powder can contain 0.1% - 0.8% of Mn or 1% to 2% of
Cu.
