Definitions

  • TITLE OF INVENTION A method for manufacturing a tool, suitable for cutting and/or shaping work, and a tool which has preferably been manufactured in accordance with the method.
  • the present invention relates to a method for manu ⁇ facturing a tool which is suitable for use for shearing, clipping, cutting and/or parting a workpiece for example, and which includes a functional surface operative to effect the work for which the tool is intended, and a material which forms said surface.
  • the invention also relates to a tool which is prefer ⁇ ably manufactured in accordance with the method and which can be used to shape and/or to cut a workpiece.
  • the invention can be used to advantage within a number of technical fields, of which the following are examples of the most prominent fields in the present context: extrusion; plastic moulding; compression moulding; swaging, drop-forging, stamping; pressure hardening; powder compaction; shearing, clipping; sheet-metal shaping; section, rolling; wire drawing; seamless tube drawing; section drawing.
  • ASP-steel can be produced by means of powder' metallurgical processes.
  • the two methods at present preferred for the manu ⁇ facture of shaping tools are: a) rough cutting of soft-annealed tool blanks, which are then heat treated to the desired degree of hard ⁇ ness/toughness, whereafter the tool blank is subjected to a comprehensive and expensive finishing process, primarily including a grinding and polishing process; b) pre-fabrica ion of hardened and tempered tooi blanks, which can be finalized with the aid of deep spark- machining techniques.
  • Patent Application 7803485-7 forms part of the art discussed here.
  • part of a mould corresponding to part of the root of a • turbine blade is filled with a nickel-based powdered alloy of standard particle size through a filling opening intended therefor.
  • This powder is then compacted and consolidated by vibration, to achieve uniform distribution of 70% compacted, state in the said mould part.
  • the upper part of the mould, which corresponds to the aerofoil part of the turbine blade is then filled with a powdered alloy which has previously been treated to deform the powder particles, whereafter the mould is again, vibrated to pack the metal powder into the aerofoil mould part.
  • the mould, or tube is connected to a vacuum pump and air is removed from the mould until a low pressure prevails.
  • the aforesaid filling opening is then closed with the aid of a conical ceramic plug or like stopper, so as to seal-off the mould, and the mould is placed in an autoclave for isostatic hot pressing of the powder.
  • the Swedish Patent Specification No. 146 531 describes a method and apparatus for producing composite sintered bodies having sections of mutually different properties.
  • a mould is provided with partitions which divide the mould, at right angles to the powder entering the mould or tube, into chambers having a form which corresponds to the desired form of the aforesaid composite body sections.
  • These chambers are intended to receive quantities of powder of mutually different charac- ter, and the powder quantities in respective chambers are compressed and sintered into fusion with one another.
  • the partitioning walls are made of a material such that the walls remain in place during the initial stage of the process, but melt away or otherwise disappear during the sintering process.
  • OMPI Another qualified problem is one of creating condi ⁇ tions such that the shaping tool also obtains, an improved function in relation to earlier known, techniques.
  • One qualified technical problem in connection with the manufacturing of hardened shaping tools is that of creating conditions which reduce subsequent treatment of the tools to a minimum.
  • an advantage can be obtained when the operative or functional surface of the tool exhibits completely different material characteristics and properties to the remainder of the tool, or its bulk parts. It has been found unsatisfactory when using a unitary material to force a compromise between the properties of the material forming the functional surfaces and those of the bulk material.
  • a highly qualified technical problem encountered in this art is one of maintaining a tool at a set temperature, so that each tool produced has desired and repetitive properties.
  • the present invention relates to a method of manufac ⁇ turing a tool for working a material blank, for example shearing, clipping, cutting and/or parting said blank, which tool incorporates a functional surface operative to perform actual work on the workpiece and a material which forms this surface.
  • the method according to the invention comprises the steps of: a) placing in a pressure sintering chamber a compressible, enlarged model having a form which exhibits a surface corresponding to, or substantially corresponding to, the functional working surface of the tool; b) applying to said model a powder which will sinter under pressure thereby to form the body of the tool; c) pressure sintering the powder to form said tool; d) removing subsequent hereto the model, which has been compressed during the sintering process; and e) optionally heat treating the tool in a manner to impart desired properties to the material thereof, for example hardening the material.
  • the outer surface layer of the functional surface can be produced by applying to the model a powder, which is particularly adapted for said outer surface layer and applying * onto, said powder in a second layer a powder particularly adapted to the bulk of the tool. It has been found that particularly advantageous results are obtained when the powder forming the interface or boundary layer between the enlarged model and the tool body comprises a material which, during the sintering process, will not adhere to one or both of the surfaces forming the interfaces or boundary layers or which can be removed after sintering.
  • the enlarged model is formed with the aid of a powdered material, preferably a loose, pre-compacted and/or pre- sintered powder.
  • a temperature regulating coil or like device is posi- tioned in the proximity of said surface prior to said sintering process, and that the coil or like means is suitably formed by placing a wire or tubular element in the powdered mass prior to sintering the powder, and removed therefrom after sintering, e.g. by leaching.
  • the invention also relates to a tool which is prefer ⁇ ably manufactured in accordance with the method and which includes a functional surface for effecting the actual work for which the tool is intended and a material forming said surface, and the tool of which body comprises pressure sintered powdered material.
  • the aforesaid tool surface is a cavitated. surface and/or the surface material thereof has properties which are different to the properties exhibited by the material in the remainder of the tool.

  • a layer of highly wear resistant material for example a layer of stellite- owder.
  • the temperature regulating coil configuration can be placed in the vicinity of the aforesaid surface, preferably in the bulk material, prior to said sintering process. It is also proposed that a low-alloy powder capable of being machined or worked after the sintering process is incorporated in the bulk material.
  • the model Upon termination of the sintering process the model is removed and the thus exposed surface can, if required, be further worked, for example hardened or spark-machined, to form the surface precisely as desired.
  • cavity formers Prior to sintering, cavity formers may be introduced into the powder mass so as to form cavities, voids, and channels in given locations in the finished tool.
  • a method and a tool according to the present invention reside in the fact that subsequent to manufacturing the shaping tool no subsequent finishing work is required thereon, or only a limited amount of such finishing work, for example such work as face grinding and calibration and possibly deep spark-machining for surface smoothing purposes.
  • the tool can be produced so that the shaping surface has properties particularly suitable to the surface material while the bulk material has properties particularly suitable therefor.
  • the method of manufacturing the shaping tool also enables temperature control loops or like passage configu- rations to be readily incorporated therein, while the bulk tool material can have incorporated therein different materials capable of being worked with the aid of plasti ⁇ cally shaping or chip-cutting working methods, subsequent to hardening the tool, such as cutting screwthreads for example.
