(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The wear-resistant iron-based sintered alloy according to the invention of Japanese Patent Application No. 61-54150 mentioned above not only has excellent wear resistance, scuffing resistance, and pitting resistance. Since it also has compatibility with the mating material, there is no problem when used normally as a rocker arm or tappet, and it shows quite excellent characteristics, but it is especially suitable for valves for high engine output, etc. The opening/closing speed increases, the rise of the cam profile becomes severe, and the lubricating film between the cam and the rocker arm or tappet disappears (i.e., the oil film runs out), causing the cam and the rocker arm or tappet to be under high surface pressure. In the case of direct contact, the amount of carbide in the matrix is somewhat small because the C content is regulated to be 0.1 to 0.8% by weight, so there is a problem that scuffing may occur. It turns out that there is.

(Object of the Invention) Therefore, the present inventors conducted various experiments with the aim of preventing scuffing from occurring even if the cam and the rocker arm or tappet come into direct contact under high surface pressure when the oil runs out. As a result of research, the C content was reduced to 0.8
By increasing the amount to 2.0% by weight and increasing the carbide in the matrix without coarsening it, scuffing is prevented even if the cam and rocker arm or tappet come into direct contact under high surface pressure when the oil film runs out. The present invention was completed based on the discovery that this phenomenon is less likely to occur.

Kiwaka et al. proposed that, in a wear-resistant iron-based sintered alloy with the above composition, a sufficient amount of fine carbide and fine boride and/or carboride are uniformly contained in the matrix structure. Those with a dispersed structure have excellent sliding wear properties, especially when used on sliding parts of rocker arms or tappets, for example, when the lubricating oil film disappears and the cam and rocker arm or tappet are directly connected. It was discovered that even when the material comes in contact with other surfaces, it exhibits excellent sliding characteristics without causing problems such as scuffing.

The present invention has been made based on the above findings, and the reason why the component composition (weight ratio) is limited as described above will be explained below.

Mo and W: Mo and W combine with C and B together with Fe and Cr in the components to form double carbides, complex borides, or double carbides to provide wear resistance, and some of them are solidified within the matrix. It melts to strengthen the matrix and has the effect of increasing tempering hardenability, but if it is less than 5%, the desired effect will not be obtained and wear resistance will be insufficient, and if it is contained in excess of 20%, further improvement will not occur. Since no effect was observed and it was not economical, the content was set at 5 to 20%.

Cr: Cr forms double carbides and complex borides together with Mo, W, etc. to improve wear resistance, and at the same time, dissolves solidly in the matrix to increase hardenability and further improves temper hardening ability. It is effective and also has the effect of improving the corrosion resistance of the base, but if it is less than 2%, this effect is not recognized, and 1%
If the content exceeds 0%, not only will there be no further improvement effect, but the mechanical strength will decrease and the aggressiveness towards the mating material will increase, so the content is set at 2 to 10%. Ta.

Si: When Si is added in an amount less than 0.1%, the deoxidizing effect is small, and the oxygen content in the powder increases, reducing sinterability and making M2C-based coarse plate-like carbides more likely to precipitate. , the compatibility with the mating member decreases. On the other hand, the amount added is 0.9

Mn: Like the aforementioned Si, Mn has a deoxidizing effect, and adding it lowers the oxygen content in the powder and improves sinterability, but if it exceeds 0.7%, the shape of the powder becomes round. As a result, the moldability of the powder decreases, making it more likely to cause cracks on the edges of the compact, so the content, if added at all, was set at 0.7% or less.

P: In the case of wear-resistant sintered alloys, P is generally added as a sintering promoting element in an amount of about 0.2 to 0.8%, but in the case of the sintered alloys of the present invention, P is If the amount added exceeds 0.05%, the complex boride or carbon boride becomes coarse and the compatibility with the mating material decreases, and the complex boride or carbon boride forms a network at the grain boundaries. The content was determined to be 0.05% or less because the steel precipitates and reduces the strength, which also reduces the pitting resistance, especially when high surface pressure is applied.

C; A part of C combines with carbide-forming elements such as Mo, W, Cr, and V to form double carbides to improve wear resistance, and the rest is dissolved in the matrix and has high room temperature hardness. However, if it is less than 0.8%, the amount of double carbides is too small and the room temperature hardness of the matrix is too small, resulting in insufficient wear resistance under sliding conditions without a lubricating oil film. . However, if it exceeds 2.0%, double carbides will coagulate and precipitate, and coarse carborides will also be generated, making them susceptible to embrittlement and reducing compatibility with the mating material, so the content should be reduced to 0.0%. It has been set as 2.0% over 8.

As a method of adding this C, Fe-M subjected to vacuum annealing is
o -W-Cr-V-3i -(Mn)-(Co)-
It is necessary to add it in the form of C-based atomized alloy powder. If C is added alone in the form of graphite powder, Fe-B or Fe-Cr added as a B source (described later)
-When combined with B, coarse carborides are precipitated in a network along the grain boundaries during sintering, increasing the aggressiveness of the mating material, whereas Fe-M subjected to vacuum annealing
o -W-Cr-V-Si-(Mn)-(Co)
- When added in the form of a C-based atomized alloy powder, most of the C becomes Mo, W during vacuum annealing after atomization.
, Cr, V, Fe, etc., and are precipitated in the atomized alloy powder as fine double carbides. The double carbide in the part is Fe-B or Fe-
It combines with Cr-B to form a double carbide boride that is slightly larger than the original double carbide, and the fine double carbides within the grains remain as they are after sintering and combine with Fe-B and Fe-Cr-B. This is because a unique structure of the sintered alloy according to the present invention is obtained, in which fine complex borides generated by decomposition and precipitation between Mo and W in the Tomized alloy powder are uniformly dispersed.

B; B is MO, W, V, Cr, F in the components
Together with e, it forms a complex boride to provide wear resistance and conformability resistance, and a portion is dissolved in the matrix to improve hardenability. Further, a part of the above-mentioned complex boride is also combined with C to form a carbonized boride, which improves wear resistance.

As described above, B is a major component essential for forming fine complex borides or carbonized borides to improve the wear resistance and conformability resistance of the sintered alloy of the present invention, but B is less than 0.5%. No effect was observed with the addition of 2.0%, and no further improvement was observed with the addition of more than 2.0%, which instead caused the complex boride to become coarser and reduce its compatibility with the mating material. Its content was determined to be 0.5 to 2.0%.

As mentioned above, the amount of B added in the sintered alloy according to the present invention needs to be 0.5 to 2.0%, but particularly excellent properties are shown when the amount of B added is between M O + W. [Mo+
W content (atomic weight) / [B content (atomic weight)] = 0.
This is when the relationship of 8 to 1.5 is satisfied. This is because when the above atomic ratio exceeds 1.5, the amount of complex boride produced is small and the compatibility, which is a characteristic of the alloy of the present invention, is reduced, and when the above atomic ratio is less than 0.8, complex boride is formed. becomes coarser and precipitates at grain boundaries in the form of a network,
This is because the compatibility with the mating material decreases, and at the same time, the pitting resistance of the material itself decreases. As for the method of adding B, it is preferable to add it in the form of Fe-B or Fe-Cr-B alloy powder.

These effects are not so noticeable when V, Nb, and Ta are less than 0.5%, resulting in a decrease in wear resistance and strength.
On the other hand, even if it is added in an amount exceeding 8%, no further improvement effect is observed and it is not economical, so even if it is added, it is preferable to limit its content to 0.5 to 8%.

In addition to the components mentioned above, Ti, which is a boride-forming element,
, Zr, Hf, Go, etc. may be added in a range of 12% or less as necessary. In particular, Co not only replaces a part of Mo, W, etc. to form a complex boride, but also forms a complex boride in the matrix. Since it improves red-hot hardness by forming a solid solution in it, it is particularly effective to add it when hot wear resistance is required.

The hardness of the sintered alloy according to the present invention is HRC50 to 6.
The range of 8 is preferable because if the HRC is less than 50, the wear resistance is insufficient, and if the HRC is more than 68, the compatibility with the mating material decreases.

Furthermore, the theoretical density ratio of the sintered alloy according to the present invention is 90
% or more, because if the theoretical density ratio is less than 90%, the strength of the matrix will be low and the pores will be large, and the matrix will be easily destroyed due to the notch action of these pores, resulting in pitting wear. This is because it is more likely to occur.

Next, among the alloys of the present invention obtained as a result, 1 to 1
5 and Comparative Meeting Kinki, 1 to 10 are each used for the sliding part of the rocker arm with a built-in lash adjuster and the camshaft, and each is incorporated into a 4-cylinder DOHC gasoline engine, and the camshaft is made of chilled casting for high output. We used a high-lift type cam with a high valve opening/closing speed and a cam profile that tends to cause an oil film to run out between it and the sliding part of the rocker arm at low speeds. Engine speed: 600 rpm, oil: Waste oil for gasoline engine after traveling approximately 20,000 km, operating time: 600 rpm.
A wear test was conducted under the same time and other conditions as actual driving on the market, and the amount of wear on the rocker arm sliding part and the wear amount on the cam, which is the mating member, was measured, as well as scuffing and other problems on the sliding part. The occurrence of pitching was observed. As is clear from the results shown in Table 1, the comparison alloys and the alloys whose compositions deviate from those of the present invention alloys, as shown in 1 to 12, were found to be less effective in rocker arms and camshafts, respectively. It was found that none of them exhibited satisfactory characteristics, with large wear and occurrence of scuffing and pitting observed.

Since it contains 20% or less of one or more elements selected from the group consisting of Go and Ni, in the iron-based sintered alloy according to any of the above inventions, it is sufficient to form a hard layer in the matrix with complex boride. It is possible to obtain a structure in which a large amount of double carbide and/or double carbide boride is uniformly dispersed. Therefore, when these alloys are used, for example, in applications where high surface pressure is applied, the surface pressure is dispersed by the hard particles, and in addition, the sliding portion (
Even if the sliding surfaces (sliding surfaces) come into direct contact with each other without a lubricating oil film or the like, a sufficient amount of double carbide in the matrix can prevent adhesion. Therefore, excellent wear resistance,
It exhibits scuffing resistance and pitting resistance, and in particular, iron-based alloys containing one or more of V, Nb, and Ta exhibit particularly excellent wear resistance, scuffing resistance, and pitting resistance, Furthermore, due to the loose compatibility of the complex boride and/or the carbonated boride, it has extremely useful industrial properties, such as being able to improve the wear of the mating member.
