Definitions

  • This invention relates to methods of applying bearing members of one material to bodies of a different material.
  • the methods are suitable, for example, for applying sleeves to bores or for applying thrust bearing surfacing members to bodies.
  • the object object of the invention is to provide a method of applying bearing members to bodies which is effective and relatively inexpensive.
  • a method of applying a bearing member to a body, with the melting point of the material of the bearing member being substantially below that of the material of the body comprises the steps of preparing an oversize billet approximating to the shape of the intended bearing member, placing the billet in a position which the bearing member is intended to occupy with respect to the body, supporting the billet at least at the side thereof remote from that side which is intended to be applied to the body with a refractory member, heat ing the assembled body, billet and refractory member to a temperature above the melting point of the material of the billet, but below that of the material of the body to bond the billet to the body, cooling the body, billet and refractory member, removing the refractory member, and finally finishing the exposed surface of the billet to form a bearing surface on the bearing member.
  • This example applies to a cylindrical hydraulic pump rotor which is to be formed with a plurality of angularly spaced parallel bores, only one being shown, each of which is to be provided with a sleeve.
  • the bores are stepped in the finished rotor and only the wider portion is to be sleeved, and this wider portion terminates at one end of the rotor.
  • the rotor has bores 11 which are only formed over their larger diameter portions and the flat end face of the rotor against which the bearing surfacing member is to be applied is only provided with for in- Patented Sept. 9, 1969 stance, three small spaced holes, which are aligned with three of the bores 11, respectively.
  • the rotor is of steel and the sleeves and bearing surfacing member are of Phosphor bronze.
  • the application of the sleeve to the rotor 10 is carried out simultaneously with the application of the bearing surfacing member to the rotor end face.
  • the method for applying the same comprises preparing a plurality of tubular billets 12 approximating to the shape of the intended sleeves, with the billets being oversize by providing that the internal diameters of these billets 12 is substantially less than those of the finished article and the lengths of the sleeves being such that, as shown, the ends extend beyond the bores 11 respectively.
  • the billet 13 has three spaced holes for reception of pegs 14 for locating the billet 13 in relation to the end face of the rotor 10.
  • the billets 12 and 13 are now placed in their respective positions so that in the case of each billet 12, the external surface is substantially in contact with that of the interior of the associated bore 11, and in the case of the billet 13, the adjacent sufraces of the billet and rotor are in contact.
  • tubular billets 12 are then filled with respective refractory members which, in this example, are foundry sand cores 15 which are formed by pouring sand into the bores as a liquid slurry. This is compacted and cannot run out since the ends of the bores 11 are closed.
  • a lipped refractory tray 16 is placed beneath the billet 13 and, as shown, the lip of the tray 16 is spaced from the external cylindrical surface of the rotor 10.
  • a weight 17 is then applied to the ends of the billets 12 and to an upstanding edge 18 of the rotor 10, and the weight -17 has a coating of a material to which the bronze of the billets 12 will not readily adhere, such as nickel aluminide.
  • the whole assembly is placed in a furnace and the temperature is raised to a value above the melting point of the bronze billets 12, 13 but below that of the steel rotor 10. The billets will melt and a bond will be formed between the steel and the bronze. In the present example the temperature is in the range of 1130 C. with a tolerance of 10 C. above or below this value.
  • the assembly is then cooled and the refractory materials removed by breaking out the sand and by removing the tray 16. Finally, the exposed surfaces of the billets 12, 13 are machined to form bearing surfaces.
  • a suitable refractory material for filling the bores is a clean silicon sand containing 10% to 18% sodium silicate, 10% to 18% calcium silicate and water with possibly other substances, with the curing being by heat. It will, however, be realized that the refractory material for the bores of the billets 12 may be preformed as is the tray 16. It is desirable that the refractory in the billet bores should be located concentrically within the bores 11 in the rotor 10 so that any tendency towards eccentricity of the bronze should be minimized. Other requirements for the refractory materials are that it should not be wetted by molten bronze in the temperature range specified, it should be self-supporting at these temperatures, and it should not react with the molten bronze.
  • Phosphor-bronzes which have been found to be satisfactorily applied by the method described have a 5% or 7% tin content.
  • a method of applying a bearing member to a body, with the melting point of the material of the bearing member being substantially below that of the material of the body which comprises the steps of preparing an oversize billet approximating to the shape of the intended bearing member, placing the billet in a position which the bearing member is intended to occupy with respect to the body, supporting the billet at least at the side thereof remote from that side which is intended to be applied to the body, with a refractory member, heating the assembled body, billet and refractory member to a temperature above the melting point of the material of the billet, but below that of the material of the body to bond the billet t0 the body, cooling the body, billet and refractory member, removing the refractory member, and finally finishing the exposed surface of the billet to form a bearing surface on the bearing member.
