Primary Examiner-D0nald J. Arnold Assistant E.\'aminerJ. R. Hall Attorney, Agent, or Firm-Pennie & Edmonds [57] ABSTRACT High density aluminum metal powder compacts are produced without the use of internal lubricants by coating the compacting die walls with a methyl alkyl polysiloxane prior to charging the powder into the die.
2 Claims, N0 Drawings PRODUCING ALUMINUM POWDER COMPACTS This invention relates to the art of powder metallurgy of aluminum and, more particularly, to the production of aluminum powder compacts for sintering.
In the compacting of aluminum powders preparatory to sintering, it is common practice to admix with the powder a lubricant such as a wax or a stearate-type soap, or the like, to facilitate compaction. When such a lubricant is used, it must be volatilized and removed as completely as possible during heating-up to sintering temperature so as not to interfere with the sintering bond. Such lubricants are customarily used in amounts of about one-half to 3 percent by weight of the metal powder, increasing amounts being used to achieve higher densities, but because of the presence of these lubricants in the compacted powder the compact generally has a green strength of only about 1,500 p.s.i. and the sintered compact exhibits far less strength and ductility than is expected of it, the strength and ductility both decreasing with increasing amount of lubricant. In order to eliminate the need for such internal lubricants, the art has resorted to lubrication of the compacting die walls. In the latter case, the lubricant is generally applied in a solvent, and the time required for complete evaporation of the solvent has slowed commercial production rates to an uneconomical level. Any liquid left in the lubricant on the die walls when the powder is added permits the lubricant surface to break down during compaction with resulting scoring of the die walls. Consequently all die lubricants used heretofore for this purpose, including hydrocarbon oils, waxes and soaps, have not made possible commercialrate production of satisfactory and uniform green compacts of high density without scoring of the die walls or of the surfaces of the compacts. This has placed an upper limit on the permissible compacting pressure with the result that the green compacts often lack the strength to be mechanically ejected from the compacting die in commercial scale operation and are generally characterized by internal voids or laminations, caused at least in part by volatilization of the lubricant, which lead to mechanical failure of the sintered part.
I have now discovered that a specific class of polysiloxane lubricants, when used as a die wall lubricant, makes possible the compaction of aluminum powders without using internal lubricants in the powder. The method of producing aluminum metal powder compacts pursuant to the present invention comprises forming a bulk mixture of the metal powder in which the particles are in direct metal-to-metal contact, applying to the walls of a powder-compacting die a coating of a normally liquid methyl alkyl polysiloxane having a molecular weight between about 1,500 and 10,000, then filling the thus-wetted die with said powder, and compacting the powder in said die.
The method of the invention is applicable to predominantly aluminum powders the particles of which can be of virtually any size, size distribution and shape. Thus, the metal powder can be in excess of 100 mesh Tyler Standard or it can be at least 90 percent minus 325 mesh, or mixtures thereof, and the particles can range in shape from chips to needles to spheres.
The aluminum powder, together with any other metal powder which it may be desired to combine with the aluminum, is prepared for compacting with only a single precaution, to wit, the non-use of an internal lubricant. Such a lubricant would preclude a metal-tometal market as Alcoa No. 1220 aluminum powder), without contact and interface between the particles of the powder. Such contact between the particles is essential to maximum green and sintered strength and it is a feature of the present invention that any material which would interfere with such a contact is avoided.
The compacting die wall lubricant which makes possible the production of high density green compacts without an internal lubricant or the like comprises normally liquid methyl alkyl polysiloxanes having molecular weights ranging from about 1,500 to 10,000. The alkyl groups in these polysiloxanes include ethyl, propyl, butyl, amyl, hexyl, octyl, decyl, dodecyl and tetradecyl radicals which form long chains of polysiloxanes having linear organic radicals ranging from 1 to 40 carbons in length. A full description of these polysiloxanes appears in The TransActions of the American Society of Lubrication Engineers, Volume 9, pages 31-35 (1966), in an article by E. D. Brown, Jr., entitled Methyl Alkyl Silicones, A New Class of Lubricants.
After the die walls have been coated with the aforementioned lubricant, either by brushing or spraying, or
the like, the thus-wetted die is filled .with sufficient metal powder to form the desired green compact. The powder is then compacted using sufficient pressure to obtain the desired green density in the compact. The resulting green compact will be characterized, for example, by a strength of at least 5,000 p.s.i. at 93 percent theoretical density, and can be handled roughly, as with a mechanical die ejector, without danger of breakage of any sort.
The following specific example is illustrative but not limitative of the practice of the invention:
A relatively coarse, commercially pure aluminum powder having a particle size of about 10 percent through 325 mesh Tyler Standard (purchased on the any additive and thus free from any internal lubricant, was charged to a die which had been previously spraycoated with a normally liquid methyl alkyl polysiloxane lubricant purchased on the market as General Electrics Silicone Oil No. SF 1147. The die was designed to produce a timing cover of generally dome shape 2% inches in diameter and one-eighth inch thick. The shape further had a peripheral flange one-sixteenth inch thick, an angled section and a truncated coneshaped hub. The die was mounted in a conventional two-motion press. Several hundred such shapes were produced in this manner, each having about 90 percent theoretical density at the flanged area, about 85 percent theoretical density in the dome-shaped portion and about percent theoretical density in the truncated cone section. No scoring of the die or of the compacts was observable, and no die-wall erosion or aluminum build-up on the die walls could be detected. The green compacts could not be broken by hand strength, and none of them broke during mechanical ejection from the green press mold.
The resulting compacts, carried in carbon steel boats, were sintered in a hydrogen atmosphere with a heat-up rate of 40C. per minute to an ultimate sintering temperature of about 1,180F. The sintered parts readily fitted back into the green-press die with only about 1 percent shrinkage, and were then coined to higher density, strength and lustre.
