Background technology
Low-cost manufacturing high density, high strength and high accuracy sintered metal product are the developing direction and the research emphasis of powder metallurgy industry, improve the lifting that extrudate density will promote its performance (particularly mechanical property) greatly.For improving the density of sintered metal product, the researchers of powder metallurgy circle have carried out long-term and unremitting effort, have proposed to have promoted the development of powder metallurgy industry like new technologies such as temperature and pressure, warm flow compaction, die wall lubrication, moving magnetic pressure system, high velocity compacted.
High velocity compacted technology (High Velocity Compaction is called for short HVC) is the new technology of a low cost, high efficiency shaping high-density powder metallurgy goods, receives much concern owing to having high cost performance.This technology is proposed in calendar year 2001 U.S.'s metal dust federation by Sweden
AB company; Its basic principle is the tup impact upper punch through high-speed motion; Produce strong stress wave in moment, in 0.02s, impact energy is passed to powder and carry out densified.It and traditional compact technique have many similarities on production technology, like dress powder, filling mould, compacting and the goods demoulding, yet should technology also have the advantages that many tradition compactings do not possess, as: 1. green density is high, and Density Distribution is even; 2. radial elastic aftereffect is low, knockout press is low; 3. production efficiency is high; 4. the large-scale part that can be shaped economically, etc.
Because powder high velocity compacted technology has plurality of advantages; The researcher of a plurality of countries has produced the ranks that great enthusiasm is also put into research one after another to this technology in the world; Some achievements have been obtained: in the article of in " the academic meeting of national powder metallurgy in 2009 ", delivering like Deng Sancai etc. " research of 316L powder of stainless steel die wall lubrication high-speed pressing and forming rule "; Adopt room temperature high velocity compacted technology compacting 316L powder of stainless steel, obtain the highest green density 7.23g/cm
3Though, being suppressed with large increase than tradition, density does not still reach theoretical effect; Pressing speed is not high in the article " electrolytic copper powder high-speed pressing and forming " that Jianzhong Wang equals to deliver on volume the 8th phase " China YouSe Acta Metallurgica Sinica " in 2008 the 18th, and all below 10m/s, the copper powder green density that obtains is still waiting further raising.The temperature and pressure technology of 316L powder of stainless steel has also obtained some achievements: in the article " the warm-pressing technology research of 316L powder of stainless steel " that equals to deliver on volume the 1st phase " powder metallurgy science and engineering " in 2008 the 13rd like Li Chunxiang, green density is up to 6.92g/cm
3, improved 0.26g/cm than room temperature mold pressing
3, but be far from reaching ideal density.
Research shows that the warm powder high velocity compacted technology that the high velocity compacted technology combines with the temperature and pressure technology can effectively improve the density of sintered metal product, yet this technology never applies to powder of stainless steel.
