Description
Powder metal composition comprising secondary amides as lubricant and/or binder.
Field of the invention
The present invention concerns a powder metal composition. Specifically the invention concerns a powder metal composition including a lubricant and/or binder comprising at least one secondary amide. The invention further concerns a method of producing a green body, a method of producing a bonded iron-based powder composition and use of the lubricant and/or binder.
Background of the invention
Metal powders are used in industry for the manufacture of metal products by compacting the metal powder in a die under high pressures, ejecting the compact from the die and optionally sintering the product. In the majority of powder metallurgical (PM) applications a lubricant is comprised in the powder in order to provide the necessary lubrication action between powder particles during compaction and between the die and the compact during ejection from the die. Lubrication achieved by a lubricant included in the metal powder is referred to as internal lubrication in contrast to external lubrication, which is achieved by applying a lubricant to the walls of the die, wherein the powder is compacted. Insufficient lubrication during ejection results in excessive friction between the compact and the die resulting in high ejection energies and damage of die surfaces and product surfaces .
Internal lubrication is achieved by using special lubricants. Normally these lubricants are admixed with the iron or iron-based powder in the form of a powder. Some lubricants may also be used for binding additives, such as e.g. alloying elements, to the iron or iron-based particles. In these cases the lubricants thus work as binding agents and reduce or eliminate segregation of the additives during shipping and handling.
Commonly used lubricants for PM applications are metal soaps, such as lithium and zinc stearate. A disadvantage with this type of lubricant is that oxides of the metals in the lubricant contaminate the inside of the sintering furnace as a result of release of metals from the lubricant during sintering, another problem is that stains may be formed on the component after sintering. Another commonly used lubricant is ethylene bis stearamide (EBS) . Stains may also be formed on the component after sintering when using this lubricant, but to a lesser extent compared with using e.g. zinc stearate. As lubricants strongly affect compacting and sintering properties of metal powders optimization of amount, composition and structure of the used lubricant is of vital importance to obtain high and consistent densities and good surface finishes of the produced parts .
Objects of the invention An object of the present invention is to provide a new powder metal composition comprising a lubricant and/or binder that reduces or eliminates the problems with high ejection forces and stained surfaces of the sintered parts. Further objects of the invention are to provide a method of producing compacted products and sintered or heat treated parts, a method of producing a bonded powder metal composition and use of the lubricant and/or binder.
Summary of the invention
These objects are accomplished by a powder metal composition comprising an iron based powder and a lubricant and/or binder comprising at least one secondary amide. The invention further concerns a method of producing a green body by subjecting the above mentioned composition to compaction.
The method of producing a bonded powder metal composition comprises: mixing an iron-based powder with at least one secondary amide and heating the mixture to a temperature above the melting point of the at least one secondary amide.
Additionally, the invention concerns the use of the at least one secondary amide as a lubricating and/or binding agent for iron-based powders, and its use for die wall lubrication.
Detailed description of the invention
The lubricant and/or binder in the powder metal composition according to the invention is at least one secondary amide that may be defined by the general formula:

At least one primary amide may further be mixed into the above mentioned mixture and the heating temperature may then be lower than the melting point of the primary amide.
Apart from the lubricant and/or binder disclosed above, the powder metal composition according to the invention may, if so desired, contain other lubricants, such as zinc stearate, lithium stearate, EBS etc.
To accomplish a bonding of the powder metal composition according to the invention other types of bonding systems may be used such as alkydes, cellulose ester resins, hydroxyalkyl cellulose resins having 1-4 carbon atoms in the alkyl group, or thermoplastic phenolic resins.

Photos of the components are shown in Figure Ia) Ethylene bisstearamide (EBS) and Ib) oleyl palmitamide, in which figure Ia) show stain formation in contrast to the part produced from the powder composition according to the present invention (Ib) which has no stains.
Example 3
This example demonstrates the lubrication properties of different combinations of secondary and primary amides, which have been melted together, cooled and milled before being mixed with iron-based powder mixes .
The lubricant combinations were made according to following method: The mixed lubricants, 50% primary and
50% secondary amide, were melted together at 80-1100C and then cooled. Then the materials were milled to a mean particle size of below 150μm.
The base powder ASClOO.29 was mixed with 0.5 % by weight of graphite and 0.8 % by weight of lubricant combination (see Table 5), in a Lδdige mixer for 2 minutes. In order to measure the lubricating properties rings with inner diameter of 45 mm, outer diameter 55 mm and a height 10 mm were compacted at three different compaction pressures, 400, 600 and 800 MPa at ambient temperature. The resulting ejection energies and densities are shown in Table 5.
Table 5. Densities and ejection energies (secondary + primary amides and reference) .
When comparing the test results in Table 5 it can be seen that samples produced from the powder metal composition according to the invention show lower ejection energies compared to samples produced from the known lubricant EBS.
Example 4
This example demonstrates the lubricating and binding properties of different combinations of amides in powder metal compositions.
The lubricants had a particle size less than 150 μm. The base powder ASClOO.29 was mixed with 2% by weight Cu-100, 0.8 % by weight of graphite and 0,8 % by weight of lubricant/binder combination according to Table 6, in a Lodige mixer for 2 minutes. The mixture with EBS was kept as reference while the mixtures comprising amides were heated to a temperature above the melting point of the secondary amide but below the melting point of the primary amide during mixing in another mixer followed by
cooling to accomplish bonding of the additives to the iron powder. In this mixture the secondary amide will thus act as a binder and the primary amide will act as a lubricant. The melting temperatures of the amides are disclosed in Table 7.
Further, the ejection energy was measured on rings having an outer diameter of 55 mm and an inner diameter of 45 mm and a height of 10 mm compacted at three different compaction pressures, 400, 600 and 800 MPa at ambient temperature. The resulting ejection energies and green densities are shown in Table 8.
Table 6. Lubricant/binder combinations for example 4
Table 7. Melting temperatures of the amides.
Table 8. Densities and ejection energies (primary + secondary amides and reference) .
Samples produced with the aid of the lubricant/binder according to the invention show lower ejection energies compared to samples produced with the lubricant used as reference, i.e. EBS. Use of the powder composition comprising the lubricant/binder according to the invention resulted in compacted sintered parts (sintered in 90/10 N2/H2 at 112O0C for 30 minutes) with excellent surface finishes, i.e. essentially without scratches and no stain formation.
Example 5 A coarse soft magnetic iron-based powder, wherein the particles are surrounded by an inorganic insulation was mixed with secondary amide lubricant according to Table 9. As reference lubricants the known substances Zinc- stearate and EBS were used. The particle size distribution of the used iron-based powder is disclosed in Table 10.
The obtained mixes were transferred to a die and compacted into cylindrical test samples (50 g) having a diameter of 25 mm, in an uniaxial press movement at a
compaction pressure of 1100 MPa. The die material used was conventional tool steel. During ejection of the com¬ pacted samples the ejection force was recorded. The total ejection energy/enveloping area needed in order to eject the samples from the die was calculated.
The results of the measurements regarding ejection energy, green density and surface appearance in the green state are shown in Table 9. Use of the powder metal compositions according to the invention resulted in that compacted components with excellent surface appearance and lower ejection energies were achieved compared with the reference compositions.
