Cl. 425-48 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE There is provided an apparatus for the lubrication of compression tools for power metallurgical purposes comprising a lower die adapted to supply lubricant film, a guide for the lower part having a slightly larger diameter to insure production of a uniform lubricant film and a foot on the opposite end of the die positioned within a slightly larger distance ring which is held in position by a fixing nut, the space between the die foot and fixing nut compensating for production errors in the axis parallelism of the die bore.
In powder metallurgical technology powders which are desired to be pressed into molded bodies are preferably mixed with organic additives (lubricants) to make them machjnable. The lubricant addition is necessary because of the friction between the powder and tool. The fraction of the necessary lulbricants, which must be especially uniformly mixed, is generally so high that in addition to this working step a further processing step is necessary, namely a dewaxing ignition of the sinter. With appropriate molded bodies, the lubricant additive can be replaced by a lubrication of the compression mold wall. Such a procedure assumes to be sure that the compression tool is manufactured and installed with high precision.
This demand is only with difiiculty fulfilled, especially with the use of multiple compression tools which with each compression process manufacture a multiple number of molded bodies. Also with only slight deviation in the lubricant film thickness there results in the molded bodies because of dilferent wall frictions dilferent local densities, which after sintering lead to deviations from the desired shape, or in case of greater deviations lead to increased scrap through cracking and fissures of the sintered bodies.
To lubricate the compression mold, there is used, for example, a lower die with an axial bore through which a lubricant solution can enter from below. Near the top of the lower die the lubricant passes through radial bores to the outside and wets the mold wall with the upward and downward motion during the pressing.
Also in these cases a uniform lubricant film is not always produced because of the flaws in the tool production and in the fitting bring about substantial deviations to only a 10 to 20 p.111. thick lubricant film.
It has now been found that these flaws can be substantially reduced when the lower die of the tool has a guide part which compensates for the production flaws in the tools and in the fitting.
Preferably the longitudinal length of the guide part is greater than the diameter of the mold bore. It is especially suitable for such length to be one to three times the diameter of the mold bore.
The invention will be understood best in connection with the drawings wherein the single figure is a longitudinal sectional view of the apparatus of the invention.
Referring more specifically to the drawing there is provided a compression die which includes an end portion which is attached to a guide body 2 through an intermediate member 3.
The lubricant flows out in the space between the disc guide member 2 and the compression die end portion 1 through radial bore holes 8.
The diameter of end portion 1 is so selected that a lubricant film of preferably 10-20 #111. can be built between it and the wall 10 of mold 11. In order to guarantee an equal gap, the longitudinal length of guide portion 2 is larger than the diameter of the mold bore, preferably 1 to 3 times larger than that diameter. Guide portion 2 besides can fulfill a scaling function as can be seen from the drawings where gasket 12 is provided. In automatic lubrication processes other than that shown in the drawing the guide portion 2 can be provided with grooves. The apparatus of the invention not only allows the lubrication of compression tools for circular cylinders but also for other suitable shapes. Guide 2 compensates for eventual fitting flaws present while a suitable support or foot 4 of the die as necessary to take care of deviations in axis parallelism of the mold bore which almost always occur in multiple tools. Typical examples of such multiple tools are shown in drawing 2. Support 4 is surrounded by a structure 13 which is moveable to and away from mold 11. Support 4 is mounted so that the die can move according to the deviations of axis parallelism in the production of the lubricant film. This can be accomplished, for example, by employing a distance ring or spacer ring 5. The inner diameter of ring 5 is somewhat greater, preferably 0.5 to 1 mm., than the diameter of the die foot 4 and whose height is 0.1 to 0.2 mm. greater than that of the die foot. The distance ring is held in its position by the fixing out 6. The fixing not 6 terminates in turn the axial motion of the die in an upward direction.
