Definitions

  • ABSTRACT Sintered bodies are formed from powder material by sintering a body produced from a powder at atmospheric pressure or below and at such a temperature that the powder grains adhere to each other and thereafter isostatically hot pressing the sintered bodies to high density in a furnace containing an inert atmosphere.
  • the powder may contain hard metal particles such as metal carbides and a binder of an iron group metal.
  • the furnace is formed by a cylindrical pressure chamber with a high pressure cylinder and end closures projecting into the cylinder.
  • a furnace chamber is arranged in the pressure chamber and has v heating windings and an insulating lid and bottom.
  • One end closure of the pressure chamber has an annular part with members sealing against the cylinder and a valve plate covering the opening of the annular part.
  • a vacuum conduit is provided which can be sealingly connected to the annular part and which includes projecting members for separating the valve plate and the annular part when the conduit is placed in operative position.
  • the present invention relates to a method of sintering powder bodies and a furnace for carrying out the method.
  • the present invention relates to a method of manufacturing sintered bodies from powdered material, the
  • bodies made of powder or a powder mixture are sintered at at mospheric pressure or lower pressure and at such a temperature that powder grains of the same material are bound together or that a binder binds together other powder grains in the mixture, after which the bodies are isostatically hot pressed under direct influence of a pressure medium such as argon, helium, nitrogen or hydrogen.
  • a pressure medium such as argon, helium, nitrogen or hydrogen.
  • a special furnace is used for the process, of the type having an insulated furnace chamber enclosed in a pressure chamber.
  • the pressing process is carried out immediately after the sintering and is started at the sintering temperature.
  • the temperature must be set at at least such a value that the binder is sufficiently deformable for the sealed spaces to be compressed.
  • the temperature and pressure are dependent on each other and on the powder composition.
  • the process is applicable to powders of many different types, particularly hard metal products containing WC, TaC, TiC or VC or a mixture of two or more of these substances and a binder consisting of Co and/or Ni and possibly Fe.
  • Bodies of powder are first conventionally sintered at atmospheric pressure or lower pressure, preferably under vacuum so that the carbide grains of the substances are combined.
  • the quantity of binder and the temperature are selected so that most of the remaining spaces or pores between the powder grains will be completely sealed and the sintered body 'is then isostatically compressed in a furnace having a furnace chamber enclosed in a pressure chamber. This compression is carried out advantageously at the sintering temperature, Le.
  • the hard metal bodies usually contain 0 99 WC and/or TiC, 0 30 TaC, NbC and/or VC as hard particles and 1 30 Co and/or Ni and possibly iron as binder. Most usually the bodies contain 0 99 WC and/or TiC, l
  • the actual sintering process may normally take place at a somewhat lower temperature than for conventional sintering at atmospheric pressure or under vacuum, since it is unnecessary to fill the spaces between the grains as it was previously during the sintering process. It is important only that spaces and pores are well sealed so that isostatic compression without a special sheath can be satisfactorily carried out. For the same reason a slightly lower percentage of binder may possibly be used. Lower temperature also means that there is less risk of the binder running down in the body during the sintering process. It may even be sufficient only to sinter the powder body on the surface prior to the isostatic compression.
  • the sintering temperature is usually 1200 1600 C.
  • the subsequent isostatic compression is in most cases carried out at 800 1500 C and 100 2000 bar.
  • increased pressure means that a lower temperature can be used to achieve the same density.
  • the sintering and the subsequent compression give the best result if carried out in one and the same furnace. If the sintering is carried out under vacuum a pressure chamber is required which has a separate vacuum valve having large flow cross-section in order to achieve the required pressure drop.
  • the grain size of the powders preferably used is generally I 8M.
  • the method is also suitable for the manufacture of electrical heating bodies of, for example MoSi and glass.
  • Bodies made of powder are sintered at a temperature of 900 l400 C, after which they are isostatically compressed under direct influence of a pressure medium at 100 2000 bar and 800 1400 C.
  • the grain size of the powder used is generallyl 7511..
  • a third group of products for which the-method can be used is cermets of various types.
  • a cermet comprising 90 99 M and 1 l0 Ag is manufactured by compressing a powder having a grain size of l 50p to bodies which are sintered under vacuum, usually at l0 torr or lower and at 900 l400 C,- so that sealed pores or spaces are obtained, after which the bodies are isostatically hot pressed while in direct contact with a pressure medium at 100 2000 bar and 800 [400 C.
  • a fourth product which can be produced is pellets of uranium dioxide. Powder of uranium dioxide only is sintered in a hydrogen gas atmosphere or under vacuum at a temperature of at least lS50 C and then hot pressed at a pressure of I00 2000 bar and a temperature of 1 300 l600 C.
  • the invention also relates to a furnace in which both sintering and hot pressing can be carried out and which is therefore particularly suitable for carrying out the method.
  • the furnace according to the invention is of the type comprising a cylindrical pressure chamber having a high pressure cylinder, end closures projecting into this, and means for taking up axial forces effected by a pressure medium on the end closures.
  • the furnace chamber and heating means of the furnace are surrounded by an insulating sleeve with insulating lid and bottom.
  • one end closure of the pressure chamber is shaped with an annular part having members sealingagainst the cylinder or via an intermediate element, a valve plate covering the opening of the annular part, sealing members existing between the annular part and the valve plate, a vacuum conduit which can be sealingly connected to the annular part of the end closure, and also means to separate the valve plate and the annular part of the closure so that an opening having relatively large flow area can be achieved for vacuum sintering.
  • the vacuum conduit is connected to the furnace in such a way that it is pressed into the annular opening of the end closure.
  • the connection conduit can be used to lift the valve plate in relation to the annular part.
  • the conduit is inserted until it comes into contact with the valve plate, after which the annular part of the end closure is lowered so that an opening is obtained between the furnace chamber and the vacuum pump.
  • it may be provided with a projecting part which, when the valve opening is closed, rests against the member which takes up the forces operating on the end closure.
  • FIG. 1 shows a furnace, partly in section, with a transportable press stand which is pushed in over a high pressure chamber having a furnace chamber and takes up forces operating on the end closures when the furnace is placed under pressure.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 show a section through the lower part of the pressure chamber during hot pressing and vacuum sintering, respectively
  • FIG. 4 a section through the upper part of the pressure chamber and FIGS. 5 and 6 sections through the end closure taken at A-Aand B-B, respectively, in FIG. 3.
  • FIG. 1 designates a press stand which is movable between the position shown in the drawingand a position where it surrounds the high pressure chamber 2.
  • the press stand is of the type consisting of yokes 3 and 4, spacers 5 and a strip sheath 6.
  • the stand is supported by wheels 7 running on rails 8.
  • the high pressure chamber 2 is supported by a pillar 9. This contains a high pressure cylinder consisting of an inner tube 10 and a surrounding strip sheath 1 l as well as end rings 12 which keep the strip sheath together axially and provide grips for brackets by which the high pressure chamber is attached to the pillar 9.
  • the chamber 2 has an upper end closure 13 which projects into the tube 10 of the high pressure chamber.
  • the furnace chamber 15 in which the charge 16 is inserted is surrounded by an insulating sleeve 17 consisting of three concentrical metal tubes 18, 19 and 20, layers 21 and 22 of insulating material and two end rings 23 and 24.
  • the sleeve 17 is suspended by the ring 23 in the upper end closure 13 and is gastightly connected to this.
  • an insulating lid 25 consisting of a metal sleeve 26 filled with insulating material 27 and provided with bushings 28 for conductors to heating elements 47.
  • the sleeve 26 is attached to a ring 29 clamped between the ring 24 and the upper end closure 13.
  • a closed space 32 is formed which communicates with the furnace chamber only through a pressure equalizing opening 33.
  • a heating element can be joined with a feeding conductor, but this is not shown in the drawings.
  • a through channel 34 with sealing members 36 for a feeding conductor 35.
  • the channel 37 opens into the gap 39 between the inner wall of the tube 10 and the outer tube 18 in the sleeve 17.
  • the heating element 47 is supported by a tube 40 which surrounds the furnace chamber 15.
  • the elements are attached to the outside of the tube 40 with the help of bars 41 having slots through which the heating elements can pass.
  • the tube 40 is suspended in the lid by means of protective bars 43 on the inside of the tube.
  • Between the lid 25 and the tube is a gap 44 so that openings are formed through the connection parts of the heating elements can pass from the gap 46 between the tube 20 of the sleeve 17 and the tube 40.

  • the valve plate 55 is shaped with a downwardly projecting peg 57 having such a length that its lower surface is in the same plane as the lower surface of the ring 50 when the valve is closed and thus rests against the yoke 4 of the stand when the pressure forces the end closure against this.
  • the valve plate 55 is provided with a number of axial guides 58 which are guided by the recess 54 and thus center the valve plate 55 in relation to the annular part 50.

  • This plate may suitably be made of a material having good heat conductivity and may be provided with radial channels 63 and 64 between the periphery and a central space 65. Since the plate 62 has good heat conductivity the central part of the billet 16 can receive heat by way of the plate.

  • the connection is done by means of a suction tube which projects into the recess 53 of the annular part 50 and is sealed to this by a sealing ring 71.
  • the outermost part of the tube 70 has slits 72 between which the remaining material forms projecting supports 73.
  • the suction tube is projected into the recess 53 so that the supports 73 come into contact with the valve plate 55, after which the annular part is lowered to the position shown in FIGS. 1 and 3 and the valve is opened.
