Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an iron based powder mixture for powder metallurgy which is stable in apparent density, lessens segregation, contains zinc at a lower ratio and has an excellent flow property by adhering a specific amt. of org. lubricants varying in m.p. together wish additive powder to the iron based powder and mixing a specific amt. of the free powder of zinc stearate. SOLUTION: Two or more kinds of the org. lubricants of the different m.p. selected from stearic acid, oleic acid amide, stearic acid amide and a molten mixture composed of the stearic acid amide and ethylene bis-stearic acid amide and ethylene bis-strearic acid amide are melted and adhered to 0.2 to 1.0 wt.% iron based powder. At this time, the powder is melted at a temp. above the lowest m.p. and bellow the highest m.p. of the lubricants. As a result, the high m.p. lubricant and the powder for alloys, cutting improvement powder, etc., are adhered to the iron based powder via the low m.p. lubricant fused to the iron based powder. The compsn. is mixed with 0.1 to 0.35 wt.% zinc stearate powder after cooling.

2. Description of the Related Art Iron-base powder mixtures for powder metallurgy are
Generally, alloy powders such as copper powder, graphite powder and iron phosphide powder are mixed with a lubricant such as zinc stearate and, if necessary, a powder for improving machinability is added. But,
Such a mixture has the following disadvantages. First, its disadvantage is that such mixtures cause segregation. Talking about segregation, the mixture contains powders of different sizes, shapes and densities, so transport after mixing,
Segregation easily occurs at the time of charging, dispensing, forming, or the like into the hopper.

For example, a mixture of an iron-based powder and a graphite powder is
It is well known that vibration during truck transport causes segregation in the transport container and graphite powder emerges. It is also known that when the graphite charged in the hopper is discharged from the hopper due to segregation in the hopper, the concentration of the graphite powder differs at the initial, middle and final stages of the discharge. Due to these segregations, the composition of the product varies, causing dimensional changes and variations in strength to increase, causing defective products. In addition, since graphite powder and the like are all fine powders, the specific surface area of the mixture is increased. As a result, the mixture becomes less fluid. Such a decrease in fluidity lowers the filling speed of the molding die, and therefore has the disadvantage of lowering the production speed of the green compact.

This feeder is a device that transports by rotating one helical coil contained in a tube of stainless steel, nylon or rubber having an outer diameter of 40 to 100 mm. Transfer this tube and
At the time of this tube and coil transfer called coil transfer,
There is a problem that the iron-based powder mixture adheres to the inside of the helical coil or tube, and particularly the organic lubricant therein adheres.

When the organic lubricant is used alone, stearic acid, oleic acid amide, stearic acid amide, a molten mixture of stearic acid amide and ethylene bisstearic acid amide alone, or ethylene bisstearic acid amide alone, such an effect of reducing the ejection force is obtained. There is no. On the other hand, in the present invention, the extraction power from the mold can be reduced by heating the mixed powder to a temperature higher than the lowest melting point and lower than the highest melting point as shown in FIG. As shown in (1), the organic lubricant 4 attached to the iron powder 1 has a structure composed of a molten low-melting organic lubricant 3 and an unmelted high-melting lubricant 2. It is considered that the unmelted portion of the lubricant 2 lowers the ejection force.

If the amount of the organic lubricant is less than 0.2% by weight, the adhesion of the alloy powder and the like is reduced, and the ejection force from the mold is deteriorated. If the amount of the organic lubricant exceeds 1.0% by weight, the outflow from the hopper cannot be improved even if zinc stearate is excessively added as a lubricant. In addition, the output power is deteriorated with stearic acid, oleic acid amide, stearic acid amide, a molten mixture of stearic acid amide and ethylene bis stearic acid amide, and an organic lubricant obtained by heating and melting one of ethylene bis stearic acid amide.

One or more organic liquid lubricants selected from the group consisting of oleic acid, spindle oil and turbine oil.
By mixing the organic lubricant in an amount of from 0.3% by weight to 0.3% by weight, the adhesion is further strengthened and the apparent density is stabilized. The amount of liquid lubricant added is 0.
If it is less than 01% by weight, there is no effect of stabilizing the apparent density,
If it exceeds 0.3% by weight, the outflow property from the hopper is reduced. It is preferable to add the liquid lubricant before mixing the iron-based powder and other additives. The liquid lubricant quickly covers the surface of the iron-based powder during stirring and mixing, suppresses surface friction between the iron-based powders due to stirring and deformation due to collision, suppresses the decrease in outflow due to deformation, and adds it to the surface of the iron-based powder. This is because it has an effect of facilitating uniform attachment of objects.

The liquid lubricant is added before mixing the iron powder with other additives. This is because during the mixing, the effect of stabilizing the apparent density is small and the outflow property is reduced, and after the mixing, both the apparent density stabilizing action and the outflow property are reduced. That is, the liquid lubricant quickly covers the surface of the iron powder when stirring and mixing the iron powder and other additives, and the surface friction of the iron powder particles due to the stirring,
It suppresses deformation due to collision and suppresses a decrease in outflow properties due to deformation. It also has a secondary effect of facilitating uniform attachment of the additive to the surface of the iron powder.

The addition amount of the binder other than the liquid lubricant, that is, the amount of the organic compound used as the binder by heating and melting and mixing may be the same as the above-mentioned addition amount when the liquid lubricant is not used. The selective addition amount of zinc stearate may be the same as described above. The heating temperature is not lower than the minimum melting point of the binder constituent (organic compound excluding the liquid lubricant) used, preferably not lower than the minimum melting point of the constituent plus 10 ° C. and not higher than the melting point of the constituent having the highest melting point. This prevents the functional degradation due to the thermal decomposition and improves the outflow performance.

According to the present invention, compared with the conventional mixture,
Prevents adhesion during transportation of tubes and coils, minimizes segregation of alloy powder and machinability improving powder, and excels in outflow from the hopper, stabilizing the apparent density and improving output from the mold. Because of its small size, there is no damage to the molded product, the quality of the powder metallurgy product is stable and the machinability is improved.In addition, since the metal components of the binder and the lubricant are small, the composition of the sintered body changes and the sintering furnace is contaminated. It is possible to provide an iron-based powder mixture for powder metallurgy and a method for producing the iron-based powder mixture, which are less likely to contribute.
