14 Claims. (Cl. 29182.5)
This invention relates to the powdered metal art and is more specifically concerned with powdered metal compacts in which unusually large percentages of graphite May 8, 1958, now abandoned.
Successful sintered compacts have been fabricated in which the metal componenthas been selected from the group of metals consisting of iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, silver and aluminum. These metals have been employed to bond together large amounts of either graphite or diamond.
The unusual physical properties of these metal graphite or metal diamond compacts are'obtained-by sintering-the green compact at a temperature sufficiently high to insure that essentially all of the metal content of the compact is in the liquid phase. The exact temperature of the sintering operation will depend on the melting point of the metal phase. Since all ofthe metal phase is in the liquidus state during sintering it is necessary to take certain precautions to prevent the molten metal from sweating out of the compact and collecting as globules on the surface of the compact.
The figure of drawing which is a section through a globule of metal resting on a graphite stool has been presented to enable a'better understanding of this invention, r
In the drawing a graphite stool has been denominated 10. A globule of molten metal has been denominated '11. VA tangent 12 has been drawnto globule llwhere globule 11 intersectsgraphite stool 10. Angle A isthe angle included between tangent 1 2 and the upper surface of the graphite stool as measured through the globule. The inventors have discovered that as long as the angle A is substantially not in excess of ninety degrees, metal of the constitution of that in globule 11 may be incorporated in a graphite compact and sintered above the melting point of the globule Without substantial loss of metal due to sweating. v
Mathematically angle A may be defined as follows: Cosine A is equal to the difierence between the surface energy of the graphite and the solid liquid interfacial energy, this, difference being divided by the 'surface'tensionof the liquid phase. Or, otherwise expressed,

Three aluminum graphite compacts have been fabricated. They were designated 81-17, 81-27, and 81-28. The composition of these are as follows:

They were filed down by hand into powders to pass through a mesh screen.

These were pressed in a hardened steel die and sintered in vacuum at 1800 F.
' No sweating was observed.
Compacts of equal parts by volume of a minus 325 mesh diamond powder and a mixture of 10 percent by weight of calcium silicide powder and 90 percent by weight of copper powder were formed by pressing the pre-mixed powders in a hardened steel die at a pressure of 100,000 p.s.i. These compacts were sintered in an argon atmosphere to a temperature of 2020 F. A sound,
hard sintered compact resulted with all the metallic phase being retained in the compact.
Similar results were obtained with compacts formed by pressing at 100,000 p.s.i., containing equal parts by volume of a minus 325 mesh diamond powder. and a mixture composed of 10 percent by weight of calcium silicide powder and 90 percent by weight of silver powder. These compacts were sintered in an argon atmosphere at 1850 F.
