However, in the conventional sintering mold 180, the temperature distribution in the inside and the inside of the powder m differ depending on the energization path. Most of the current flows through the shortest and easily energized portions. That is, the powder m
It flows through the inside to the lower die 183. Then
The current flowing through the mold 181 decreases,
Hardly generates heat, and the powder m is heated only by the heat generated from inside. For this reason, inside the powder m, a large temperature gradient is generated between the central portion and the outer peripheral portion, and the sintered product has a sintering state and a variation in density inside the sintered product. There's a problem.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, since the insulating plate is attached to the surface of the upper and lower dies forming the sintering chamber, when the temperature of the sintering mold is lower than a certain temperature, the electric current is reduced Rather than flowing inside, it flows from the die connected to the positive electrode through the mold to the die connected to the negative electrode. For this reason, the mold generates heat and the powder can be heated from the outer peripheral portion. When the temperature of the sintering mold becomes higher than a certain temperature, the insulating plate is broken down, the electric current flows through the powder, the powder itself generates heat, and the powder can be heated from the inside. That is, since the inside of the powder is heated by the heat generated by the powder itself after the temperature of the outer peripheral portion of the powder whose temperature is unlikely to rise is increased, the temperature distribution inside the powder during sintering can be made uniform. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the sintering state and the density from being varied within the sintered product, thereby improving the quality of the sintered product. In addition, by changing the temperature at which the insulating plate breaks down, the temperature at which the powder is heated from the inside can be changed, so that the heating state of the powder can be changed.

Next, the operation and effect of the sintering die 80 of the present embodiment will be described. In the sintering chamber A of the sintering mold 80, a powder m of a material having good conductivity, such as a cemented carbide or copper, is stored. Then, while the powder m is pressed from above and below by a pair of upper and lower dies 82 and 83, the dies 82 and 83 are energized by a DC power supply.

At this time, since the insulating plates 95 are respectively attached to the surfaces of the upper and lower dies 82 and 83 which form the sintering chamber A, that is, the surfaces in contact with the powder in the sintering chamber A, the electric current is insulated. The upper die 8 cannot pass through the plate 95
2 flows through the mold 81 toward the lower die 83. Then, the mold 81 and the pair of upper and lower dies 82 and 83 generate heat, and the powder m is heated from the outer peripheral portion, so that the temperature of the powder m first increases at the outer peripheral portion.

Eventually, the temperature of the outer periphery of the sintering mold 80 or the powder m rises, and the heat from the outer periphery of the sintering mold 80 or the powder m heats the insulating plate 95, and exceeds the temperature at which the insulating plate 95 breaks down. Then, since the powder m contained in the sintering chamber A has good conductivity, the current flows through the insulating plate 95 and through the powder m having a short conduction path. For this reason, the powder m itself generates heat, and the powder m is heated from the center by the heat generation. Then, the entire powder m is heated, but since the temperature of the outer peripheral portion of the powder m whose temperature is unlikely to rise has risen first, the temperature distribution inside the powder m during sintering becomes uniform, and the powder m becomes Then, sintering is performed in a state where the temperature distribution inside is uniform.

Therefore, according to the sintering mold 80 of the present embodiment, even when a material having good conductivity is sintered, the powder m is sintered in a state where the temperature distribution inside the powder m is uniform. In addition, it is possible to prevent variations in the sintering state and density from occurring inside the sintered product, thereby improving the quality of the sintered product.
