Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a sintered metallic body excellent in corrosion resistance, having superior comfortability to a mating member, and increased in strength by compacting iron-powder grains coated with specific amounts of copper and then sintering the resulting green compact together with zinc oxide powder. CONSTITUTION:Respective surfaces of 45-80%, by weight, iron-powder grains are coated with 20-55% copper layer. A solid lubricant, such as graphite, molybdenum disulfide, and boron nitride, is mixed with the resulting copper-coated powder grains, which is compacted. The resulting green compact is subjected to sintering treatment together with zinc oxide powder. By this method, the sintered metallic body in which respective surfaces of 40-79.5% iron-powder grains are coated with 20.5-60% brass coating layer and porosity is regulated to 8-35vol.% can be obtained. This sintered metallic body is suitable for use in bearing material, etc.

By covering substantially the entire circumferential surface of the iron powder particles with the brass coating layer as described above, the sintered structure in the sintered alloy is obtained between substantially single brass particles, and the pressure is reduced. Facilitates and stabilizes powder shaping and sintering. In addition, although it is a sintered body with substantially iron powder particles as its core, there is no exposed surface of the iron powder particles, so it is not susceptible to corrosion by acids, salts, or under high temperature conditions. This results in favorable corrosion resistance even under harsh conditions. Furthermore, as mentioned above, since there are no exposed iron powder particles, it has good compatibility with the mating member, reduces the coefficient of friction, reduces temperature rise during continuous rotation bearings, etc., and improves strength as mentioned above. This, combined with the stabilization of the sintered structure, allows it to achieve the best properties for bearing parts, etc.

Regarding the shape of the brass coating described above, iron powder particles are plated with a single copper coating, compacted, and then zinc oxide powder is used, that is, embedded in zinc oxide powder, or oxidized. By placing the zinc vapor on the zinc powder and adsorbing the zinc vapor generated by the reduction to the copper coating to make it brass, a stable brass coating is formed on the surrounding surface of the iron powder particles, and the voids during compaction are removed. The pore structure is densified to provide a preferable sintered alloy body. Moreover, since the above-mentioned brass formation is accomplished in the sintering process itself, it does not require any particular complexity.

On the other hand, by ensuring the porosity does not exceed 28 voJ%, strength is ensured and excessive leakage and scattering of the impregnated lubricating oil is prevented.

The size of the iron powder particles as the raw material used as the main body or core is not particularly limited, and is generally larger than the 100 mesh or less that is conventionally used for producing pure iron sintered bodies. It is possible to adopt particles with a particle size within the specified range. In other words, even relatively fine grains can be increased in diameter by copper coating during production and can be processed in the same way as grains in the conventional general range, and such coating also makes it possible to reduce powder compaction. Since it is easy to use, even particles with a large diameter exceeding the conventional particle size range can be compacted with the same or easier compacting process as in the conventional method.

The above-mentioned copper coating on the iron powder particles is formed by plating or other known coating methods, but a typical cross-sectional view of the copper coating coated on the iron powder particles by the plating method is shown microscopically. In the attached drawing, in which approximately 30 wt% of copper 2 is coated on 70 wt% of iron powder particles l, the outer peripheral surface of the iron powder particles l is almost completely covered with copper layer 2. There is. However, the thickness of the coated copper layer 2 is approximately proportional to the amount of copper (wt%) to the amount of iron powder, and it is used in cases where copper is coated with 20 wt% or more, and the fine powder is classified. Experiments have confirmed that it is effective to use the removed material. That is, the graphite powder that is generally commercially available is 1 to 30.

It goes without saying that graphite, molybdenum disulfide, and boron nitride are added as solid lubricants in the form of powder, but solid lubricants such as graphite have a lower specific gravity than the copper-coated iron powder mentioned above. Even if such graphite is simply mixed, it is difficult to make it uniformly comparable to other raw materials.
Segregation occurs due to floating and shifting of graphite powder during bar replacement, powder compaction, etc. Therefore, we adopted a relatively coarse powder solid lubricant such as graphite, and what is more? It has been confirmed through experiments that it is effective to use 6f obtained by classifying and removing 3 minutes of lXIl. That is, the graphite powder that is generally commercially available is 1.

Fine particles of less than 10 μm or less than 20 μm as described above do not generate dust when classified in liquid, and can be classified appropriately.
