Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method of manufacturing products of compound type starting from powder material. At least two powder materials are compacted into products with essentially full density while at the same time obtaining a metallic bond between the materials included.
  • the invention is particularly applicable to the manufacture of products in which property combinations are required which are normally not obtained with the same material, for example good erosion and corrosion properties or great hardness combined with toughness, good thermal conductivity or thermal shock resistance.
  • One of or all the materials may in certain cases be pre ⁇ formed into solid bodies, which are placed in a capsule and compressed.
  • the powder may be filled around the solid preformed bodies, whereafter the powder is compacted together with the solid bodies. Differences in density between the solid bodies and the loose powder lead to powder and body being compacted to varying degrees during the pressing operation. In certain cases this gives rise to internal stresses or other imperfections in the compound product, which limits the applications of the compound technique since for certain fields of application, material combinations or product geometries, for which these internal imperfections cannot be tolerated, the optimum solutions which can be obtained with compound technique must be dispensed with.
  • At least one of the materials included in the compound product is preformed and loose- sintered from powder into a body of the desired shape.
  • the density during preforming and loose sintering preferably increases to a density of the loose-sintered body of 75-85% of the theoretical density (hereinafter abbreviated "T.D.") from an apparent density of the filled powder (hereinafter referred to as "filling density") of 65 - 75% of T.D.
  • the preformed, loose-sintered body is thereafter placed, together with at least one additional powder material, in a capsule.
  • the capsule is sealed essentially gas-tightly and isostatically compressed into an essentially fully dense body with an essentially perfect metallic bond, atomic bond, between the materials included.
  • the capsule is removed and the product is after- treated in conventional manner by machining and heat treat ⁇ ment.
  • a body preformed according to the foregoing description is sintered according to the invention into a porous body; preferably the body is sintered at a temperature corre ⁇ sponding to 30 - 60% of the melting point of the material.
  • the purpose of the sintering is only to hold together the preformed body during the handling up to the point where it is placed in the capsule.
  • any organic binders used during the forming are driven off.
  • the sintering is preferably performed under vacuum or in a protective gas atmosphere to avoid reactions on the surfaces of the powder grains .
  • the temperature is chosen such that the powder grains are bonded together at the poits of contact, only an insignificant increase of the density then being obtained.
  • the density during preforming and loose sintering increases from a filling density of 65- 75% of T.D. to a density of the loose-sintered body of 75- 85% of T.D.
  • the preformed body is sintered, according to the invention, when using spherical powder, for example obtained by gas atomization of metal melts, into a porous body with a density of 75-80% starting from a filling density of about 70%.
  • At least one loose-sintered body is placed in a capsule together with at least one additional powder material.
  • the capsule which at least at the pressing temperature is deformable, is thereafter sealed essentially gas-tightly and is compacted by means of isostatic pressing, preferably hot- isostatic pressing, the compound product in its entirety being compacted into essentially full density, while at the same time the materials are bonded together with a metallic bond.
  • isostatic pressing preferably hot- isostatic pressing
  • Figure 1 illustrates the manufacture of compound products according to the invention and Figure 2 shows how the invention is applied when a diffuse transition is desired between the materials united in the compound product.
  • powdered material is formed at 1 and loose- sintered at 2 into a body 10, the density of which insig ⁇ nificantly exceeds the filling density of the used powder.
  • the loose-sintered body 1 may consist of only one powder material or be a composite of a plurality of powder materials.
  • the loose sintering at 2 takes place under inert conditions for the powder, preferably under vacuum or in a protective gas atmosphere, to avoid reactions on the surfaces of the powder grains.
  • the loose-sintered body 10 is placed in a capsule 11 which is filled, at 4, with at least one additional powder material before it is evacuated, at 5, and gas-tightly sealed, at 6.
  • the loose-sintered body 10 of course undergoes the usual steps such as checks and analyses of a quality-assuring nature, dimensional adjustments and other conventional operations before being placed in the capsule 11.
  • the compaction, at 7, preferably takes place in a hot-isostatic press.
  • the manufacture of a compound product 12, according to the invention comprises conventional opera ⁇ tions in powdermetallurgical manufacture, carried out both on the loose-sintered body 10 and on the finished compound product 12, to ensure quality, dimensions, and material structure.
  • certain material combinations may require a transition zone between the materials included, where the interface between the materials is made diffuse.
  • this is achieved by forming a body, in Figure 2 exemplified by the sleeve 100 which will be described below, with a diffuse transition from one of the materials A, in Figure 2 exemplified as a surface layer 101 on a compound roll 120, to the material B, which in Figure 2 constitutes the material in the core 105 of the roll.
  • the preformed sleeve 100 which will be described below
  • the sleeve 100 comprises the surface layer 101, consisting of the material A, and a transition zone 102 where the content of the material B is gradually increased to achieve a diffuse transition between the materials.
  • the sleeve is preformed according to the steps shown in Figure 1, that is, preforming 1 and loose sintering 2 whereupon the sleeve 100 consisting of the surface layer
  • the capsule 101 and the transition zone 102 is placed in a capsule. Thereafter, at 4, the capsule is filled with material B in . the form of a powder material.
  • the capsule is evacuated, at 5, and gas-tightly sealed, at 6, before it is isostatically compacted, at 7, with preformed sleeve " and powder material, into an essentially dense compound roll 120.
  • the compaction 7 is preferably performed in a hot-isostatic press.
  • the manufacture of a compound roll according to the invention, of course comprises conventional operations for powdermetallurgical manufacture, carried out on the loose-sintered sleeve 100 as well as on the finished compound roll 120, to assure quality, dimensions and material structure.
  • the invention is applicable, for example, to the manufacture of valve seats and valve cones in which parts exposed to wear are formed as loose-sintered bodies in hard wear- resistant materials, for example Co-based alloys, loose- sintered at 500-700°C in a vacuum furnace.
  • the loose- sintered body is then placed in a capsule made of steel plate, whereupon a powder of a high temperature material, such as a 12% Cr steel, is added.
  • the capsule is evacuated and sealed before being compacted, with its contents of porous loose-sintered bodies of a Co base alloy and a steel powder, by means of hot-isostatic pressing at a temperature of 1000-1250°C and a pressure of 50-300 MPa, into a valve cone or a valve seat.
  • the invention can be applied to the manufacture of compound rolls, in which case a relatively thick surface layer of a hard material is united with a tough core.
  • a porous loose- sintered sleeve is manufactured of the hard material.
  • the hard material constitutes only an outer shell, which is provided with an inner zone where the content of the tough material, which is to constitute the core mateial in the frame of the roll, is gradually increased to create a diffuse transition zone between the hard outer layer and the tough frame and hence considerably reduce the tendency to crack.
  • the porous sleeve is loose-sintered under the same conditions as the bodies in the manufacture of valve parts and, like these, is compacted with a steel powder in a steel plate capsule under equivalent conditions.
  • the loose sintering may take place in a protective gas furnace with Ar atmosphere at the same temperatures as above and the compaction take place using cold-isostatic pressing followed by sintering.
  • porous bodies are preformed and loose-sintered in a corrosion-resistant material, for example an Ni base alloy.
  • the porous bodies are placed in a capsule whereupon the capsule is filled with a powder, for example in the form of a tempering steel, evacuated, and gas-tightly sealed.
  • the capsule with its contents of at least one loose- sintered, porous body as well as steel powder is compacted into an essentially tight armature part by hot-isostatic pressing. Loose sintering and hot-isostatic pressing are carried out under conditions essentially equivalent to those described in previous examples.
