Description

Preparation method and device of lead-free graphite brass composite material
Technical Field
The disclosure relates to the field of alloy materials and preparation thereof, in particular to a preparation method and a device of a lead-free graphite brass composite material.
Background
The lead brass has excellent cold and hot processing performance, cutting performance and wear resistance, can meet the machining requirements of parts in various shapes, and is widely applied to industries such as civil water supply systems, electronic appliances, automobiles, machine manufacturing and the like at present. However, when lead brass is used as a drinking water pipe fitting such as a faucet or a pipe joint, lead atoms are leached into water by the action of water substances; lead in the waste lead brass spare and accessory parts is easy to enter soil and seriously harms human health, so the application of the lead brass is increasingly limited. All countries in the world pay great attention to the pollution and harm caused by lead, and a series of restrictions on the application of lead-containing brass are put out in succession. According to the national diagnosis Foundation, JIS, DIN50930 and European Union, the standard for lead elution in the waterway must be lowered from 0.05mg/L to 0.01 mg/L. In recent years, the development and research of eco-friendly lead-free-cutting brass has been a research hotspot in the field of copper alloys. One of the methods for eliminating lead pollution is to find a proper brass material capable of replacing lead, namely lead-free brass, so that lead can be thoroughly eliminated, and excellent cutting performance and mechanical performance can be ensured. At present, researchers at home and abroad have successfully prepared the lead-free graphite brass by mainly adding graphite with excellent electric conduction and heat conduction properties to replace lead. In the cutting process, a lubricating film is formed on the newly-generated surface of the graphite which is continuously exposed, the newly-generated surface which appears instantly is covered, the friction between the front cutter face and chips and the friction between the rear cutter face and the contact surface of the workpiece are reduced, and the surface quality of the workpiece is favorably improved.
The traditional preparation methods of the lead-free graphite brass mainly comprise two methods, namely a cold pressing sintering method and a melt stirring method. The cold pressing sintering method is the earliest method for preparing the copper-based graphite composite material and mainly comprises the processes of powder mixing, pressing and forming, sintering, re-pressing and the like. The graphite brass prepared by the traditional cold pressing sintering method has the defects of more air holes, lower tensile strength and difficult meeting of the mechanical property. In order to reduce the pores of the graphite brass and increase the tensile strength, some researchers began to prepare copper-based graphite composite materials by a melt stirring method. The melt stirring method can be classified into a liquid stirring method and a semi-solid stirring method according to the state of the melt. The liquid stirring method is to gradually mix graphite particles in liquid matrix metal under mechanical stirring, and because the specific gravity phase difference of graphite and metal is large, graphite is easy to float on the surface of molten metal to generate segregation; the semi-solid stirring method is to reduce the viscosity of semi-solid melt containing certain solid phase under the action of high-speed shear stress, gradually add graphite particles, and prevent the particles from floating and sinking. However, during the preparation by the semi-solid stirring method, the floating segregation degree of the graphite particles is gradually reduced along with the increase of the solid fraction of the semi-solid slurry, but the rapid stirring easily causes a large amount of gas to be involved, so that air holes are easily formed in castings, and the mechanical property of the material is obviously reduced. In addition, graphite and metallic copper or zinc are easily exposed to air during stirring to cause oxidation reaction, thereby reducing the component stability of the finished product.
Disclosure of Invention
The present disclosure is directed to solving one of the problems set forth above.
Therefore, the preparation method of the lead-free graphite brass composite material capable of improving the mechanical property and the component stability of the material provided by the embodiment of the first aspect of the disclosure comprises the following steps:

and sintering the blank along the blank drawing direction, so that the blank sequentially forms a blank area, a sintering area and a casting blank area along the blank drawing direction, wherein the sintering area is kept at a first temperature, the casting blank area is kept at a second temperature, and gas in the sintering process overflows along the direction opposite to the blank drawing direction.
The preparation method of the lead-free graphite brass composite material provided by the embodiment of the first aspect of the disclosure has the following characteristics and beneficial effects:
firstly, because the solid phase in the sintering zone (namely, the liquid/solid two-phase zone) can prevent graphite from floating and reduce graphite segregation, graphite and copper-based alloy delamination can be eliminated by controlling the first temperature (namely, the heating temperature) to ensure that graphite brass liquid and the solid phase (the solid phase and the liquid phase are both brass, but the concentrations of zinc elements in copper of the solid phase and the liquid phase are different) coexist in the sintering zone; secondly, the gas can escape directionally along the graphite brass pressed compact by adopting a directional sintering mode, so that the defect of air holes is reduced, and the problem of high porosity in the traditional sintering is solved; again, directional sintering reduces zinc evaporation from brass and results in greater compositional uniformity throughout the sample. The casting blank, the pressed blank and the crystallizer isolate a sintering area from the outside, can prevent and reduce the outward volatilization of zinc, because the directional sintering heat flow is unidirectionally dissipated along the throwing direction, the temperature distribution at the cross section of a sample in the sintering area is uniform, the volatilization amount of zinc is uniform at each position on the cross section, and the fluctuation of the zinc component on the cross section is small; finally, the sintering of the internal area of the graphite brass can avoid the oxidation reaction of graphite, copper or zinc which is easily exposed to the air in the stirring process of the traditional melt stirring method, and the component stability of the casting blank is increased.

In some embodiments, the second temperature is set to 60-150 ℃ for solidifying the brass liquid phase in the casting blank area, meanwhile, a small amount of brass solid phase in the brass liquid phase can prevent graphite particles from floating upwards, and gas generated during solidification can be fully discharged upwards, so that the excellent effects of improving the density of the casting blank and uniformly distributing the graphite particles in the brass matrix are achieved.
In some embodiments, the blank is placed in a vacuum environment during sintering at a vacuum level of 10 deg.f -2 Pa~10 -3 Pa。
In some embodiments, the blank is made by the steps of:
mixing graphite powder, brass powder and a binder to obtain mixed powder, wherein the particle size of the graphite powder is 20-80 um, the particle size of the brass powder is 50-150 um, the binder is zinc stearate powder or epoxy resin, the graphite powder is added according to 0.5-3% (accounting for the whole volume ratio, the same below) of the total amount, the binder is added according to 0.5-1.0% of the total weight, and the balance is the brass powder, and the brass powder can be selected from any one or a mixture of more of brass H60, brass H62, brass H65, brass H68, brass H70, brass H75, brass H80, brass H85 and brass H90;

The alumina ceramic tube is put into a sintering furnace for directional sintering. During sintering, the withdrawal rate is controlled to be 0.5 mm/min-1.2 mm/min.
The reaction mechanism of the preparation method of the lead-free graphite brass composite material provided by the embodiment of the first aspect of the disclosure is as follows:
according to the preparation method of the lead-free graphite brass composite material provided by the embodiment of the first aspect of the disclosure, the lead-free graphite brass is prepared by adopting a region-oriented liquid phase sintering method, the region-oriented liquid phase sintering method integrates the characteristics of traditional sintering and directional solidification, and the working principle of the method is similar to directional solidification, and specifically:
in the directional sintering process, when the temperature of a sintering area is controlled between a liquid phase region and a solid phase region of brass, the liquid phase and the solid phase exist in the sintering area, and the solid phase in the two-phase region can prevent light graphite particles from floating upwards, so that the graphite particles are uniformly distributed in a brass matrix. Because the heating area and the cooling area are fixed at certain positions, the pressed compact can pass through the sintering area in the process of moving from top to bottom, and therefore the effect of uniformly distributing graphite particles of the whole blank is achieved.
The preparation method of the lead-free graphite brass composite material provided by the embodiment of the first aspect of the disclosure has the following advantages:
firstly, because the solid phase in the sintering zone (namely, the liquid/solid two-phase zone) can prevent graphite from floating and reduce graphite segregation, the graphite and copper-based alloy delamination can be eliminated by controlling the first temperature (namely, the heating temperature) to ensure that the graphite brass liquid and the solid phase (the solid phase is a substance in which a small amount of Zn atoms are dissolved into a large amount of Cu atoms) coexist in the sintering zone; secondly, the gas can escape directionally along the graphite brass pressed compact by adopting a directional sintering mode, so that the defect of air holes is reduced, and the problem of high porosity in the traditional sintering is solved; again, directional sintering can reduce zinc volatilization from brass and the composition is more uniform throughout the sample. The casting blank, the pressed compact and the crystallizer isolate a sintering area from the outside, and can block and reduce the outward volatilization of zinc. Furthermore, because the directional sintering heat flow is unidirectionally dissipated along the blank drawing direction, the temperature distribution at the cross section of the sample in the sintering area is uniform, and the zinc volatilization amount is uniform at each position on the cross section, so that the zinc component fluctuation on the cross section is small; finally, the sintering of the internal area of the graphite brass can avoid the oxidation reaction of graphite, copper or zinc which is easily exposed to the air in the stirring process of the traditional melt stirring method, and the component stability of the casting blank is increased.
