A kind of built-up type powder metallurgy hollow camshaft cam material and preparation method
Technical field
The invention belongs to the new technical field of producing of the oil engines such as motor car engine camshaft, particularly a kind of built-up type powder metallurgy hollow camshaft cam material and preparation method thereof.
Background technology
In recent years, for save energy and minimizing pollution, it is further important that automobile loss of weight seems.Be often automobile loss of weight 10%, just can reduce oil consumption 8%, not only capable of saving fuel oil has also reduced the quantity discharged of tail gas.In order to solve the problems such as conventional cam shaft weight is large, material use efficiency is low, tooling cost is high, the design concept of Novel camshaft must be that few processing, quality are little, compact construction.The various piece of axle must meet different performance requriementss simultaneously.Cam bit will have higher wear resistance, resistance to deadlocked and spot corrosion, and the coefficient of sliding friction of axle journal is little, mandrel counter-bending, shear strength good.Traditional Cast camshaft is difficult to meet these performance requriementss simultaneously, and needs a large amount of machinings to be finally shaped, and cost is high, waste starting material.Most importantly be difficult to have breakthrough aspect weight reduction.So the automotive industry of various countries has started to develop and use novel Combined hollow camshaft, be called for short assembled camshaft.Various types of combinations assembling modes are just constantly developed by people's invention, and cardinal principles of all these combination assembling modes are all weight reductions, meet performance requriements.
Assembled camshaft develops into today, and conventional method of attachment can be divided into three major types: welding process, mechanical process (mainly comprising interference assembling, mechanical pipe expanding method, annular knurl assembling method), combined sintering method.
Welding process can produce a lot of heats in the time of welding, welding zone moment high-temperature material can be deformed, affect the stability of welded accessory size, the thermal distortion of welding zone fierceness also easily cracks, welding effect is difficult to guarantee, and outward appearance needs further shaping; Pipe expanding method cam and steel pipe are running fit, utilize hydraulic pressure or mechanical expander, require tube wall thinner in order to be beneficial to the viscous deformation of axis body, when cam bears the connection of tension stress hot jacket, there is heat transmission by metallic matrix in the heat that cam produces in the time of work, these heats are delivered to the position that cam is combined with axis body can make shrink range change, strength of joint stability decreases.
Its camshaft of vario valve control (VVC) engine of U.S. Land Rover MG-F automobile is exactly the combined sintering technology adopting, what axis body was used is cold drawing steel tube, what cam adopted the is Astaloy E powder (Fe-5Cr-2Cu-2.5C-1Si-1Mo-0.5P) of He Genasi through liquid phase sintering on steel pipe, what other sintered part was used is that Fe-Cu-C is powder, and first sintering re-uses method for welding and is connected with axis body.
CN 1858288A discloses a patent about the preparation of P/M hollow camshaft cam and heat treating method, and its cam composition is: C0.4-0.6%, and Cr1.0-1.5%, Ni1.5-2.0%, Mo0.6-1.0%, Cu2-2.5%, all the other are Fe.Cam preparation adopts compacting sintering method and powder forging method, and the standby cam of compacting sintering legal system also will be taked two kinds of surface Hardening Treatment: high-frequency quenching and broad band laser hard surfacing; Powder forging method adopts the thermal treatment process of oil quenching and low-temperaturetempering afterwards in forging, cam adopts mechanical process to be connected with steel pipe.There is certain deficiency in technique, carbon content is lower, is unfavorable for the raising of cam hardness and wear resistance, makes to adopt surface Hardening Treatment or thermal treatment process improves hardness, increased manufacturing cost, also makes the production cycle extend simultaneously.In addition, cam adopts mechanical process to be connected with steel pipe, and stability is not high, and powder forging process complexity, and facility investment is larger.CN 101368250A discloses the patent of a rare earth additive high-carbon content cam material and powder smelting Camshaft Production technique, and cam material composition is C 1.5-2%, Cr 7.5-10%, Ni 1.5-2%, Mo 0.75-1%, P 0.45-0.6%, rare earth fluoride 1.75-2%, surplus is Fe.After the repressed moulding of cam, by first presintering 30min at 950 ℃ of pressed compact, then after cam, axle journal and steel pipe assembling at 1140 ℃ of sintering, be incubated 60min.Although technique is also the metallurgical binding that realizes steel pipe and cam by liquid phase sintering, cam bit needs pre-burning after compacting, has increased energy consumption and cost, has extended the production cycle.
Combined sintering technology is also at the early-stage in China, and technology is not mature enough, also fails to come into the market in a large number, mainly relies on import.Man of domestic many engine shops carrys out replace imported, saving fund in the urgent need to the domestic assembled camshaft of research and development voluntarily at present.Therefore, technique has very wide market and good utilisation technology.
