Description
本発明は、金属粉末を含有する粉末混合物を圧縮成型し、さらに焼結して焼結体を製造する粉末冶金技術に関し、詳細には、粉末混合物を金型に充填する時の流動性向上、焼結体の強度向上、金型からの抜き出し圧力の低減を付与できるとともに、焼結炉内の汚染を抑制できる粉末冶金用潤滑剤、およびこの粉末冶金用潤滑剤を含有する粉末冶金用粉末混合物に関する。 The present invention relates to a powder metallurgy technique in which a powder mixture containing a metal powder is compression-molded and further sintered to produce a sintered body, and more specifically, improvement in fluidity when filling a mold with the powder mixture, Powder metallurgy lubricant capable of imparting improved strength of sintered body, reducing extraction pressure from mold, and suppressing contamination in sintering furnace, and powder mixture for powder metallurgy containing this powder metallurgy lubricant About.
粉末冶金とは、主原料となる金属粉末を金型に充填した後、圧縮成型することにより圧粉体とし、さらに高温で加熱することにより金属粒子を焼結させて金属成型体を製造する技術である。通常、金型へ金属粉末を充填する時に金属粉末相互の粒子摩擦を減じて流動性を向上させるために、あるいは圧縮時の金属粉末と金型壁面との摩擦を緩和し、圧縮後の金型からの抜き出し圧力を減じて金型の磨耗や破損を抑制するために、原料である金属粉末に粉末潤滑剤が添加されている。 Powder metallurgy is a technology that produces metal compacts by filling metal molds, which are the main raw materials, into compacts by compression molding, and then sintering metal particles by heating at high temperatures. It is. Usually, when filling metal mold with metal powder, to reduce particle friction between metal powders to improve fluidity, or to reduce friction between metal powder and mold wall surface during compression, mold after compression A powder lubricant is added to the metal powder as a raw material in order to reduce the extraction pressure from the metal and suppress the wear and breakage of the mold.
従来、粉末潤滑剤として、脂肪酸亜鉛塩、脂肪酸リチウム塩、脂肪酸モノアミド、エチレンビス脂肪酸アミド等の粉末が単独で、あるいは複数を組み合わせて使用されてきた。
例えば、特許文献1には、エチレンビスステアロアミド(N,N,−エチレンビス(ステアリン酸アミド))とステアリン酸亜鉛とを重量比1:9〜9:1で配合した粉末冶金用潤滑剤が開示されている。
また、特許文献2には、潤滑性鉄基冶金粉末組成物の製造方法において、ステアリン酸第二銅をテトラヒドロフランまたはジエチルアミン等の有機溶媒に溶解させた溶液を用いて鉄基粒子の冶金粉末組成物を濡らした後、有機溶媒を除去することによりステアリン酸第二銅の被覆を持つ鉄基粒子が得られることが開示されている。
さらに、特許文献3には、エチレンビスラウリンアミドを主成分とする粉体成形剤が開示されている。
Conventionally, powders such as fatty acid zinc salts, fatty acid lithium salts, fatty acid monoamides, and ethylenebisfatty acid amides have been used alone or in combination as powder lubricants.
For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a lubricant for powder metallurgy in which ethylene bisstearamide (N, N, -ethylenebis (stearic amide)) and zinc stearate are blended at a weight ratio of 1: 9 to 9: 1. Is disclosed.
Patent Document 2 discloses a metallurgical powder composition of iron-based particles using a solution obtained by dissolving cupric stearate in an organic solvent such as tetrahydrofuran or diethylamine in a method for producing a lubricious iron-based metallurgical powder composition. It is disclosed that iron-base particles having a cupric stearate coating can be obtained by removing the organic solvent after wetting.
Further, Patent Document 3 discloses a powder molding agent mainly composed of ethylenebislaurinamide.
しかし、粉末冶金用潤滑剤として脂肪酸亜鉛塩を用いた場合、焼結炉の脱ロウ時において、加熱分解後に生成する、脂肪酸亜鉛塩由来の酸化亜鉛が昇華し、焼結炉の炉壁や煙道に酸化亜鉛として堆積し汚染してしまう。この堆積物は、蓄積してくると炉壁から脱落し焼結製品の表面に付着し欠陥を発生させることがある。また、煙道の堆積物は、煙道を閉塞させ炉内雰囲気ガスの排出を阻害させるので、安定製造が困難になるという欠点がある。このため、粉末冶金メーカー、焼結メーカー各社は、定期的に焼結炉の操業を停止し、炉内温度が下がった後にこの堆積物を除去する作業を行っているので、生産管理面およびコスト面で大きな問題となっている。 However, when a fatty acid zinc salt is used as a lubricant for powder metallurgy, zinc oxide derived from the fatty acid zinc salt generated after thermal decomposition is sublimated during dewaxing of the sintering furnace, and the furnace wall and smoke of the sintering furnace are sublimated. It accumulates on the road as zinc oxide and becomes contaminated. As this deposit accumulates, it may fall off the furnace wall and adhere to the surface of the sintered product, causing defects. In addition, the flue deposits obstruct the discharge of atmospheric gas in the furnace by closing the flue, which makes it difficult to produce stably. For this reason, powder metallurgy manufacturers and sintering manufacturers regularly stop the operation of the sintering furnace and remove this deposit after the furnace temperature has dropped. This is a big problem.
特許文献2の方法では、テトラヒドロフランまたはジエチルアミン等の有機溶媒を工業的に完全に除去することは困難であり、また焼結時に有機溶媒の引火等の危険性があり、さらに作業性が煩雑であるという問題がある。 In the method of Patent Document 2, it is difficult to industrially remove an organic solvent such as tetrahydrofuran or diethylamine industrially, there is a risk of ignition of the organic solvent during sintering, and the workability is complicated. There is a problem.
また、脂肪酸モノアミドあるいはエチレンビス脂肪酸アミドを用いた場合、金属粉末の金型充填時に高い流動性が得られないことから圧縮後の成型体密度が上がらず、焼結体に十分な強度が得られないという問題があり、特許文献1のように脂肪酸亜鉛塩とエチレンビス脂肪酸アミドを併用しても、その問題点を完全に解決するには至っていない。 In addition, when fatty acid monoamide or ethylene bis fatty acid amide is used, high fluidity cannot be obtained when the metal powder is filled with the mold, so the density of the compact after compression does not increase, and sufficient strength is obtained for the sintered body. Even if fatty acid zinc salt and ethylene bis fatty acid amide are used together as in Patent Document 1, the problem has not been completely solved.
本発明の目的は、従来の技術では解決が困難であった上記課題を解決することであり、粉末混合物を金型に充填する時の流動性向上、焼結体の強度向上、金型からの抜き出し圧力の低減を付与できるとともに、焼結炉内の汚染を抑制できる粉末冶金用潤滑剤、およびこの粉末冶金用潤滑剤を含有する粉末冶金用粉末混合物を提供することにある。 The object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems that have been difficult to solve with the prior art, and improve the fluidity when filling the mold with the powder mixture, the strength of the sintered body, An object of the present invention is to provide a lubricant for powder metallurgy that can give a reduction in extraction pressure and suppress contamination in the sintering furnace, and a powder mixture for powder metallurgy containing the lubricant for powder metallurgy.
本発明者は、上記課題を解決するために鋭意検討を重ねた結果、特定の粒度要約値および凝集度を有する脂肪酸銅塩粒子からなる粉末冶金用潤滑剤を用いることで、金型充填時の流動性向上、焼結体の強度向上、金型からの抜き出し圧力の低減を付与できるとともに、焼結炉内の汚染を抑制できることを見出した。 As a result of intensive studies in order to solve the above problems, the present inventor used a lubricant for powder metallurgy composed of fatty acid copper salt particles having a specific particle size summary value and agglomeration degree. It has been found that the fluidity can be improved, the strength of the sintered body can be improved, and the extraction pressure from the mold can be reduced, and contamination in the sintering furnace can be suppressed.

Furthermore, there is an effect that contamination in the sintering furnace is suppressed.
以下、本発明の粉末冶金用潤滑剤および粉末冶金用粉末混合物の実施形態について順次説明する。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the powder metallurgy lubricant and powder metallurgy powder mixture of the present invention will be sequentially described.

[Lubricant for powder metallurgy]
The lubricant for powder metallurgy according to the present invention comprises fatty acid copper salt particles having 6 to 24 carbon atoms. Such fatty acid copper salt particles are obtained by reacting a copper oxide or hydroxide with a fatty acid having 6 to 24 carbon atoms or by reacting a fatty acid having 6 to 24 carbon atoms with a monovalent alkali compound. A fatty acid alkali compound salt can be prepared by a metathesis method in which the salt is further reacted with a divalent copper salt in an aqueous solution.

When the number of carbon atoms of the fatty acid is less than 6, it is difficult to obtain an effect as a lubricant for powder metallurgy of the obtained fatty acid copper salt particles, and fatty acids having more than 24 carbon atoms are difficult to obtain industrially, In the metathesis method, the solubility of the resulting fatty acid alkali compound salt in water is remarkably reduced, so that the productivity may be lowered.

When using a mixed fatty acid, a mixed fatty acid having a stearic acid content of preferably 50% or more, more preferably 60% or more, and even more preferably 70% or more is used.
直接法において用いられる銅の酸化物もしくは水酸化物としては、酸化銅(II)、水酸化銅(II)が挙げられる。 Examples of the copper oxide or hydroxide used in the direct method include copper oxide (II) and copper hydroxide (II).

From the viewpoint of high solubility in water when the fatty acid alkali compound salt is prepared, alkali metal hydroxides such as sodium and potassium are preferred.
複分解法において用いられる脂肪酸アルカリ化合物塩は、一価のアルカリ化合物と脂肪酸とを、一般に、脂肪酸の融点以上であり、かつ該脂肪酸が分解しない程度の温度、好ましくは100℃以下、より好ましくは50〜100℃、さらに好ましくは60〜95℃、特に好ましくは70〜95℃で反応させて得られる。 The fatty acid alkali compound salt used in the metathesis method is a temperature at which the monovalent alkali compound and the fatty acid are generally not lower than the melting point of the fatty acid and do not decompose, preferably 100 ° C. or less, more preferably 50 It is obtained by reacting at -100 ° C, more preferably 60-95 ° C, particularly preferably 70-95 ° C.
脂肪酸銅塩粒子としては、上記で得られた脂肪酸アルカリ化合物塩と二価の銅塩とを水溶液中で反応させて得られる脂肪酸銅塩粒子を用いることが好ましい。
二価の銅塩としては、例えば、塩化銅、硫酸銅、硝酸銅などが挙げられる。特に、塩化銅、硫酸銅は、水に対する溶解度が高く、効率的に脂肪酸アルカリ化合物塩と反応する点から好ましい。
上記反応は、具体的には、二価の銅塩含有水溶液および脂肪酸アルカリ化合物塩含有水溶液を別々に調製し、これらを混合することにより行われる。例えば、脂肪酸アルカリ化合物塩含有水溶液中に二価の銅塩含有水溶液を滴下することによって行われる。

As the fatty acid copper salt particles, it is preferable to use fatty acid copper salt particles obtained by reacting the fatty acid alkali compound salt obtained above with a divalent copper salt in an aqueous solution.
Examples of the divalent copper salt include copper chloride, copper sulfate, and copper nitrate. In particular, copper chloride and copper sulfate are preferable because they have high solubility in water and efficiently react with the fatty acid alkali compound salt.
Specifically, the above reaction is performed by separately preparing a divalent copper salt-containing aqueous solution and a fatty acid alkali compound salt-containing aqueous solution and mixing them. For example, it is performed by dropping a divalent copper salt-containing aqueous solution into a fatty acid alkali compound salt-containing aqueous solution.
In addition, the dropping rate of the copper salt aqueous solution is preferably 5.0 × 10 −3 mol / second or less, and more preferably 3.0 × 10 −3 mol / second or less.

There is.
脂肪酸銅塩製造時の脂肪酸アルカリ化合物塩の濃度は、脂肪酸銅塩の生産性の点、および脂肪酸アルカリ化合物塩含有水溶液または得られる脂肪酸銅塩スラリーのハンドリング性の点から、通常、1〜20質量%、好ましくは5〜15質量%である。脂肪酸アルカリ化合物塩の濃度が1質量%未満の場合は、脂肪酸銅塩の生産性が低下するおそれがある。20質量%を超える場合は、脂肪酸アルカリ化合物塩含有水溶液または得られる脂肪酸銅塩スラリーの粘度が上昇するので、均一な反応を行うことが困難になることがある。
また、二価の銅塩含有液中の二価の銅塩の濃度は、脂肪酸銅塩の生産性の点、および脂肪酸アルカリ化合物塩含有水溶液または得られる脂肪酸銅塩スラリーのハンドリング性の点から、通常、10〜50質量%、好ましくは10〜40質量%である。
The concentration of the fatty acid alkali compound salt during the production of the fatty acid copper salt is usually 1 to 20 masses from the viewpoint of the productivity of the fatty acid copper salt and the handleability of the fatty acid alkali compound salt-containing aqueous solution or the resulting fatty acid copper salt slurry. %, Preferably 5 to 15% by mass. When the concentration of the fatty acid alkali compound salt is less than 1% by mass, the productivity of the fatty acid copper salt may be reduced. When it exceeds 20 mass%, the viscosity of the fatty acid alkali compound salt-containing aqueous solution or the resulting fatty acid copper salt slurry increases, so that it may be difficult to perform a uniform reaction.
In addition, the concentration of the divalent copper salt in the divalent copper salt-containing liquid is determined from the point of productivity of the fatty acid copper salt and the handling property of the fatty acid alkali compound salt-containing aqueous solution or the obtained fatty acid copper salt slurry. Usually, it is 10-50 mass%, Preferably it is 10-40 mass%.

脂肪酸アルカリ化合物塩と二価の銅塩との反応時に脂肪酸銅塩スラリーを安定化させて、脂肪酸銅塩の生産性を向上させる目的で、ポリアルキレングリコール系エーテル、特にオキシプロピレンブロックがオキシエチレンブロックで挟まれた構造(EO−PO−EO)を有するトリブロックエーテルを脂肪酸銅塩スラリー中に存在させることが好ましい。脂肪酸銅塩スラリー中におけるポリアルキレングリコール系エーテルの含有量は、通常、脂肪酸アルカリ化合物塩100質量部に対して、0.01〜5質量部、好ましくは0.05〜2質量部である。
なお、ポリアルキレングリコール系エーテルは、一価のアルカリ化合物と脂肪酸とを反応させる前に反応系に存在させても良く、また脂肪酸アルカリ化合物塩と二価の銅塩との反応の前に反応系に存在させても良い。
The reaction between the fatty acid alkali compound salt and the divalent copper salt is performed under temperature conditions that are usually performed by those skilled in the art in consideration of the solubility of the fatty acid alkali compound salt. Preferably it is 50-100 degreeC, More preferably, it is 60-95 degreeC.
Polyalkylene glycol ethers, especially oxypropylene blocks, are oxyethylene blocks for the purpose of stabilizing fatty acid copper salt slurries and improving the productivity of fatty acid copper salts during the reaction of fatty acid alkali compound salts with divalent copper salts. It is preferable that a triblock ether having a structure sandwiched between (EO-PO-EO) is present in the fatty acid copper salt slurry. The content of the polyalkylene glycol ether in the fatty acid copper salt slurry is usually 0.01 to 5 parts by mass, preferably 0.05 to 2 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the fatty acid alkali compound salt.
The polyalkylene glycol ether may be present in the reaction system before reacting the monovalent alkali compound with the fatty acid, or the reaction system before the reaction between the fatty acid alkali compound salt and the divalent copper salt. May be present.
上記方法によって、脂肪酸銅塩スラリーが得られる。この脂肪酸銅塩スラリーはそのまま、あるいは遠心脱水機、フィルタープレス、真空回転濾過機などにより溶媒を分離し、必要に応じて、洗浄を行い、副生する無機塩を除去した後に、回転乾燥機、気流乾燥装置、通気式乾燥機、噴霧式乾燥機、流動層型乾燥装置などにより乾燥させる。乾燥方法は、連続式または回分式、あるいは常圧または真空下のいずれでもよい。さらに、乾燥させた脂肪酸銅塩を必要に応じて粉砕する。粉砕方法は、例えばピンミル、ジェットミル、アトマイザー等によることができる。粉砕された脂肪酸銅塩粒子は分級される。例えば、振動を与えて篩い分けを行う多段篩装置等を用いて分級を行ない、粒度分布を調整する。このようにして、本発明の粉末冶金用潤滑剤としての脂肪酸銅塩粒子を得ることができる。 By the above method, a fatty acid copper salt slurry is obtained. This fatty acid copper salt slurry is used as it is or after separating the solvent by a centrifugal dehydrator, filter press, vacuum rotary filter, etc., and if necessary, washing and removing by-product inorganic salts, followed by a rotary dryer, Drying is performed by an air dryer, an aeration dryer, a spray dryer, a fluidized bed dryer or the like. The drying method may be continuous, batch, normal pressure or vacuum. Furthermore, the dried fatty acid copper salt is pulverized as necessary. The pulverization method can be performed by, for example, a pin mill, a jet mill, an atomizer or the like. The pulverized fatty acid copper salt particles are classified. For example, classification is performed using a multistage sieving apparatus or the like that applies vibrations and performs sieving to adjust the particle size distribution. In this way, fatty acid copper salt particles as the powder metallurgy lubricant of the present invention can be obtained.
本発明に用いられる脂肪酸銅塩粒子は、粒度分布の揃ったものとすることで、金属粉末中に均一に存在させることが可能となり、または結合剤を効率的に分散させることができる。これにより、流動性、焼結体の強度、および圧縮成型後の金型からの抜き出し性を向上させるという本発明の作用効果をより安定して発現させ易くする。具体的には、脂肪酸銅塩粒子の下記(1)式で表される粒度要約値Aを2.5以下にする。 By making the fatty acid copper salt particles used in the present invention uniform in particle size distribution, they can be uniformly present in the metal powder, or the binder can be efficiently dispersed. As a result, the effects of the present invention that improve the fluidity, the strength of the sintered body, and the ability to pull out from the mold after compression molding can be more stably expressed. Specifically, the particle size summary value A represented by the following formula (1) of the fatty acid copper salt particles is set to 2.5 or less.
本発明において粒度要約値Aは、マイクロトラックレーザー回折法により測定した粒子径から算出される。粒度要約値Aが2.5を超えると、金属粉末中に存在する脂肪酸銅塩粒子の粒子径のバラツキにより、粉末混合物の流動性が不安定となり、混合機からの排出性、金型への充填性が低下するばかりか、粉末混合物の嵩密度が低下し、目的とする強度を有する焼結体を製造できなくなる可能性がある。粒度要約値Aは、2.0以下がより好ましく、これにより本発明の作用効果がさらにより安定して得られる。 In the present invention, the particle size summary value A is calculated from the particle size measured by the microtrack laser diffraction method. When the particle size summary value A exceeds 2.5, the fluidity of the powder mixture becomes unstable due to the variation in the particle diameter of the fatty acid copper salt particles present in the metal powder, the dischargeability from the mixer, and the release to the mold. Not only is the filling property lowered, but the bulk density of the powder mixture is lowered, which may make it impossible to produce a sintered body having the desired strength. The particle size summary value A is more preferably 2.0 or less, whereby the effects of the present invention can be obtained more stably.
なお、粒度要約値Aの調整は、脂肪酸アルカリ化合物塩の濃度、脂肪酸アルカリ化合物塩と二価の銅塩との反応時の温度、二価の銅塩含有水溶液を脂肪酸アルカリ化合物塩含有水溶液に滴下する際の滴下速度をそれぞれ適宜調整することによって行うことができる。また、粒度分布が広い、つまり粒度要約値Aの値が大きいものについては、後処理において、100メッシュ、200メッシュ、330メッシュ等の篩を用いて分級することによって行なうことができる。 The particle size summary value A is adjusted by adding the concentration of the fatty acid alkali compound salt, the temperature during the reaction between the fatty acid alkali compound salt and the divalent copper salt, and dropping the divalent copper salt-containing aqueous solution into the fatty acid alkali compound salt-containing aqueous solution. It can carry out by adjusting the dripping speed | rate at the time of doing suitably, respectively. In addition, those having a wide particle size distribution, that is, a particle size summary value A having a large value can be obtained by classification using a sieve of 100 mesh, 200 mesh, 330 mesh or the like in post-processing.
ここで使用するマイクロトラックレーザー回折法は、レーザー光を粒子に照射することによって得られる散乱光を利用して、粒度分布を求める方法である。本発明においては、脂肪酸銅塩粒子が溶解しない有機溶媒、例えばエタノール、イソプロピルアルコールなどの有機溶媒を循環させたところに試料をそのまま投入する湿式による測定とする。また、本発明における測定対象は粒子径0.1〜200μmの範囲であり、下記の(1)式で表わされる値を粒度要約値Aとした。なお、本発明においては、例えば日機装株式会社製のマイクロトラックMT−3000を用いて測定することができる。 The microtrack laser diffraction method used here is a method for obtaining a particle size distribution using scattered light obtained by irradiating particles with laser light. In the present invention, the measurement is performed by a wet method in which an organic solvent in which fatty acid copper salt particles are not dissolved, for example, an organic solvent such as ethanol or isopropyl alcohol, is circulated. Moreover, the measurement object in this invention is the range of particle diameter 0.1-200 micrometers, and let the value represented by following (1) Formula be the particle size summary value A. FIG. In the present invention, measurement can be performed using, for example, Microtrack MT-3000 manufactured by Nikkiso Co., Ltd.

粉末冶金用粉末混合物の製造においては、通常、全材料を混合釜に投入し、30分〜2時間混合する。混合時は、金属粉末粒子同士の衝突熱により混合釜内が70〜90℃程度になる。本発明者の検討によれば、脂肪酸銅塩粒子を80℃の環境下に10分放置後にパウダーテスターで測定したときの下記(2)式で表される凝集度B(%)が30%以下であることにより、粉末冶金用粉末混合物を製造するための上記混合条件でも、脂肪酸銅塩粒子が解れ易く、粉末冶金用粉末混合物中に素早く均一に分散することができる。したがって、粉末冶金用粉末混合物の流動性向上に伴って嵩密度を上げることができ、混合機からの排出性、金型への充填性を向上させることができる。凝集度Bは27%以下がより好ましく、さらに好ましくは25%以下である。凝集度Bが25%以下であるとき、本発明の作用効果がさらにより安定して得られる。 In the production of a powder mixture for powder metallurgy, all materials are usually put into a mixing kettle and mixed for 30 minutes to 2 hours. At the time of mixing, the inside of the mixing pot becomes about 70 to 90 ° C. due to the collision heat between the metal powder particles. According to the study of the present inventor, the aggregation degree B (%) represented by the following formula (2) when the fatty acid copper salt particles are measured with a powder tester after being left in an environment of 80 ° C. for 10 minutes is 30% or less. Therefore, even under the above-described mixing conditions for producing a powder mixture for powder metallurgy, the fatty acid copper salt particles can be easily broken and can be quickly and uniformly dispersed in the powder mixture for powder metallurgy. Therefore, the bulk density can be increased along with the improvement of the fluidity of the powder mixture for powder metallurgy, and the discharge property from the mixer and the filling property to the mold can be improved. The degree of aggregation B is more preferably 27% or less, and further preferably 25% or less. When the aggregation degree B is 25% or less, the effects of the present invention can be obtained more stably.
なお、凝集度Bの調整は、脂肪酸アルカリ化合物塩と二価の銅塩との反応を穏和な条件下で行ない、反応によって得られるスラリー中の脂肪酸銅塩粒子同士の凝集を防ぐことによって行うことができる。つまり、例えば、脂肪酸アルカリ化合物塩と二価の銅塩との反応時の反応率を低下させない程度の穏和な温度で反応を行ったり、熟成時間を短縮したりすることによって行なうことができる。反応時のこれら因子を適宜調整することによって、凝集度Bを本発明規定の範囲に調整することができる。 In addition, the adjustment of the aggregation degree B is performed by performing the reaction between the fatty acid alkali compound salt and the divalent copper salt under mild conditions and preventing aggregation of the fatty acid copper salt particles in the slurry obtained by the reaction. Can do. That is, for example, the reaction can be performed at a mild temperature that does not reduce the reaction rate during the reaction between the fatty acid alkali compound salt and the divalent copper salt, or by shortening the aging time. By appropriately adjusting these factors during the reaction, the degree of aggregation B can be adjusted within the range specified in the present invention.
凝集度B=〔(篩目350μmの篩に残存する脂肪酸銅塩粒子の質量)/2〕×100×(1/1)+〔(篩目250μmの篩に残存する脂肪酸銅塩粒子の質量)/2〕×100×(3/5)+〔(篩目150μmの篩に残存する脂肪酸銅塩粒子の質量)/2〕×100×(1/5)〕・・・(2)式 Aggregation degree B = [(mass of fatty acid copper salt particles remaining on sieve with 350 μm sieve) / 2] × 100 × (1/1) + [(mass of fatty acid copper salt particles remaining on sieve with 250 μm sieve) / 2] × 100 × (3/5) + [(mass of fatty acid copper salt particles remaining on a sieve having a mesh size of 150 μm) / 2] × 100 × (1/5)] (2) formula
ここで使用するパウダーテスターによる脂肪酸銅塩粒子の凝集度Bは、下記の測定方法で得られた値である。すなわち、例えばパウダーテスター(ホソカワミクロン株式会社製、PT−N型)を用いて下記の(a)〜(f)の工程を行なう。
(a)80℃に設定された恒温機内で、測定対象の脂肪酸銅塩粒子を10分間放置する。
(b)パウダーテスターの振動台に、上層から篩目350μm、250μm、150μmの篩いを順次セットする。
(c)上記(a)工程後の脂肪酸銅塩粒子2.0gを即座に篩目350μmの篩上に静かにのせる。
(d)篩を振幅1mmで105秒間振動させる。
(e)各篩に残存した脂肪酸銅塩粒子の質量を計測する。
(f)上記(e)工程で得られた各質量にそれぞれ1/1、3/5および1/5の重みを順次に乗じ、これらを加算して上記(2)式により百分率を算出した値を凝集度B(%)とする。
以上の(a)〜(f)の工程を5回繰り返し、その平均値を測定値とする。
The aggregation degree B of the fatty acid copper salt particles by the powder tester used here is a value obtained by the following measurement method. That is, for example, the following steps (a) to (f) are performed using a powder tester (manufactured by Hosokawa Micron Corporation, PT-N type).
(A) The fatty acid copper salt particles to be measured are left for 10 minutes in a thermostat set to 80 ° C.
(B) Sieves of 350 μm, 250 μm, and 150 μm are sequentially set from the upper layer on the vibrating table of the powder tester.
(C) Immediately place 2.0 g of the fatty acid copper salt particles after the step (a) gently on a sieve having a sieve size of 350 μm.
(D) Vibrate the sieve with an amplitude of 1 mm for 105 seconds.
(E) The mass of the fatty acid copper salt particles remaining on each sieve is measured.
(F) A value obtained by multiplying each mass obtained in the step (e) by a weight of 1/1, 3/5, and 1/5 in order, and adding these to calculate the percentage by the above equation (2). Is a degree of aggregation B (%).
The above steps (a) to (f) are repeated five times, and the average value is taken as the measured value.
さらに、本発明に用いられる脂肪酸銅塩粒子は、ゆるみ嵩密度(Da)(g/cc)が0.120≦Da≦0.250であることが好ましい。0.120≦Da≦0.250であることにより、金属粉末と混合した際に、脂肪酸銅塩粒子に高い滑り性が得られ、粉末混合物に流動性をさらに付与することができる。 Furthermore, the fatty acid copper salt particles used in the present invention preferably have a loose bulk density (Da) (g / cc) of 0.120 ≦ Da ≦ 0.250. By being 0.120 <= Da <= 0.250, when mixed with metal powder, high slipperiness is obtained for the fatty acid copper salt particles, and fluidity can be further imparted to the powder mixture.
ゆるみ嵩密度(Da)は、下記の測定方法で得られた値である。まず、例えばパウダーテスター(ホソカワミクロン株式会社製、PT−N型)を用い、振動台に篩目710μmの篩をセットし、その中に試料250ccを入れ、30秒間振動させて、篩の下方に設置した測定用カップの中に、落下した試料を集める。付属のブレードを用いて、カップ上の余分な脂肪酸金属塩粒子をすりきった後、試料の入ったカップの重量を測定する。なお、本発明においては、この操作・測定を5回繰り返し、その平均値を嵩密度(Da)の測定値とする。PT−N型では、自動で測定値が表示される。 The loose bulk density (Da) is a value obtained by the following measuring method. First, for example, a powder tester (made by Hosokawa Micron Corporation, PT-N type) is used, and a sieve with a mesh size of 710 μm is set on a vibration table, and a sample of 250 cc is placed therein, vibrated for 30 seconds, and placed under the sieve. Collect the dropped sample in the measuring cup. Using the attached blade, scrape excess fatty acid metal salt particles on the cup, and then weigh the cup containing the sample. In the present invention, this operation / measurement is repeated five times, and the average value is taken as the measurement value of the bulk density (Da). In the PT-N type, the measured value is automatically displayed.
