2. Description of the Related Art A special cast iron such as gray cast iron or boron cast iron is sometimes used for a valve guide of an internal combustion engine. However, cast iron has problems in working environment, mass productivity, price, etc. Replacement with bond money has been pursued. However, general sintered alloys have insufficient abrasion resistance. On the other hand, if alloy materials are added to strengthen the material, the abrasion resistance reaches a usable level. (Machinability) decreases. After the valve guide is assembled to the cylinder head of the engine, the inner diameter is finished by reaming, so if the machinability of the valve guide material is poor, the processing time will be longer and the tool wear will be faster, resulting in higher production efficiency. Be inhibited.

1%) forms a solid solution in iron to strengthen the matrix, or combines with phosphorus to form a relatively hard particulate Fe-PC-based alloy phase (steidite phase) and disperse, with the remainder being free It remains in the state of carbon (graphite) and acts as a solid lubricant. The amount of free graphite is about 0.3% when the carbon content (total carbon content) is 1.5%, and is about 1.7% when the carbon content is 3%. %, Wear of the valve guide due to sliding with the valve increases. Therefore, the lower limit of the carbon content is 1.5%. On the other hand, if it is excessive, the strength of the base material is reduced, and it causes segregation and impaired fluidity during powder molding. Therefore, the upper limit of the carbon content is 4%.

[0007] Copper and tin usually have a tin content of 5 to 20%.
It is added in the form of a copper-tin alloy powder of a certain degree or in a form to which a required amount of plain powder is added. Both accelerate the progress of sintering,
While forming a solid solution to strengthen the matrix, a part remains as a Cu-Sn-based alloy phase to improve sliding characteristics and machinability. This effect occurs when the content of copper is 1% or more and tin is 0.1% or more. However, if added in excess, the dimensional stability of the product is impaired due to expansion during sintering. Since the material is embrittled, the contents of copper are 1 to 5% and tin is 0.1 to 0.1%.

[0008] Phosphorus is added in the form of Fe-P alloy powder or Cu-P alloy powder. In accordance with the phosphorus content, the generated steadite phase increases, the rigidity of the base material increases, and the wear resistance improves, but on the other hand, the machinability decreases. Therefore, the object of the present invention is to improve the machinability compared to the prior invention material, so that the content of phosphorus is reduced by 0.1% compared to the prior invention material.
To less than (but 0.01% or less) to increase free graphite and improve machinability. The wear resistance decreases as the phosphorus is reduced, but is still at a much better level than gray cast iron.

In the second invention, the pyroxene is a magnesium metasilicate mineral, which is orthorhombic and cleaves, acts as a solid lubricant like free graphite, and further improves machinability. Manganese sulfide is similar, but has the effect of further improving the wear resistance of the substrate. Both are added as powders, but if a mixture of tocopyroxene and manganese sulfide (preferably 20 to 30% of topopyroxene) is used, the abrasion resistance and machinability can be further improved while maintaining the balance.

[0010] These solid lubricants, including free graphite, are dispersed in the matrix to exhibit a solid lubricating effect, but contain (disperse)
The material strength decreases as the amount increases. In the case of the present invention, if the content exceeds 4%, the material strength required as a valve guide material cannot be maintained, so that the total amount of the solid lubricant (free graphite, hard pyroxene and manganese sulfide) is set to 4% or less. This means that, for example, when the total carbon content is 1.5% and the free graphite content is 0.7%, up to 3.3% in total of pyroxene and manganese sulfide can be contained. The blending, molding and sintering of the raw material powders are carried out by the usual method of powder metallurgy, but the sintering atmosphere is preferably a reducing or carburizing atmosphere. If the sintering temperature is too high, free graphite disappears. C is suitable.

Next, each of the mixed powders was formed at a molding pressure of 490M.
After molding into a predetermined shape with Pa
Sintered at 0 ° C for 60 minutes, length 40mm, outer diameter 12mm,
Many cylindrical samples having an inner diameter of 7.4 mm were produced. The alloy structure of each sample (sintered material) is a pearlite structure having a dense matrix, and reddish Cu-Sn-based alloy particles are scattered. In a sample with a high phosphorus content, a lot of whitened Fe-PC-based alloy phases (steadite phases) are scattered, but in a sample with a low phosphorus content, the number decreases. . Further, the amount of free graphite of the sample having a high (0.3%) phosphorus content and the sample of a low (0.03%) phosphorus content were measured from insoluble residues obtained by dissolving the swarf of each sample in an acid, and compared. The latter sample has about 0.2-0.3% more free graphite.

Next, for each of the samples thus obtained,
The machinability and wear resistance were tested. The machinability was determined by calculating the time required for reaming the inner diameter of the sample and cutting 10 mm in the axial direction. The data was used for a sample containing 5% of copper and 0.3% of phosphorus corresponding to the material of the present invention. Was converted to an index with the value of 100 as 100 and compared. Therefore, the smaller the index is, the easier the cutting is and the shorter the processing time is, that is, the better the machinability is. For wear resistance, finish each sample to the specified shape and dimensions of the valve guide, mount it on the engine simulation test device, slide it back and forth with the valve loaded with the radial load for a predetermined time in the heated state, before and after the test. , The difference between the inner diameters of the samples was determined as the amount of wear, and this was compared.

FIG. 1 is a graph in which these data are arranged and FIG. 1 shows the relationship between the phosphorus content and machinability.
FIG. 2 shows the relationship between the phosphorus content and the wear resistance.
From this graph, first, regarding the influence of copper, the copper content 1
It can be seen that in the range of 〜5%, regardless of the phosphorus content, the machinability and the wear resistance are superior as the amount of copper increases. Next, regarding the influence of phosphorus, as the phosphorus content is reduced from 0.3%, the machinability improves almost linearly, and the tendency continues even if the conventional lower limit of 0.1% is cut. ing. Therefore, it is recognized that keeping the phosphorus content to less than 0.1% for the purpose of improving machinability is sufficiently significant. As for the abrasion resistance, the amount of abrasion is slightly increased as compared with the material of the prior invention as a result of the suppression of phosphorus.
The wear of 80% of the 05% sample is in a practically acceptable range, and is far superior to the wear of the gray cast iron valve guide of 170 μm under the same test conditions.

Next, the two types of mixed powders were molded and sintered under the same conditions as in Example 1, and the obtained samples were tested for machinability and wear resistance. As a result, the former data containing tocopyroxene and manganese sulfide had a machinability index of 23 and a wear amount of 50 μm, while the latter case had a machinability index of 25 and a wear amount of 55 μm. The former is better in both machinability and abrasion resistance. Looking at the microstructures of both samples, in the former case, the free graphite, hard pyroxene, and manganese sulfide were dispersed as lubricating substances in the matrix, whereas in the latter, only the free graphite was dispersed.
It is considered that this difference caused a difference in characteristics.
