Abstract

The invention relates a sintered leadless free-cutting brass and a preparation method thereof and the brass comprises the following elements by weight percent: 48.0%-70.0% of copper, 0.3%-0.4% of aluminum, 4.0%-4.3% of magnesium, 0.1%-0.2% of manganese, 0.08%-0.11% of cerium, 0.01%-0.03% of lanthanum, 0.4-2.4% of BN powder and the balance zinc and not more than 0.05% of impurities; various powders and binding agent are prepared according to the following proportioning by weight percent: 0.4-2.4% of BN powder, 2-4% of zinc powder used as sintering activator, 1% of zinc stearate used as binding agent and the balance brass powder. The preparation method comprises the following steps: using a planetary ball mill to mix powder, the weight ratio of ball to powder is 10:1, the mixing time is 6h, after mixing powders pressing is performed; then sintering is performed, the sintering technology is as follows: the temperature is heated from the room temperature to a sintering temperature, the heating time is 5h, the sintering temperature is 840 DEG C, the sintering time is 2h, the sintering atmosphere is hydrogen atmosphere and after sintering, the temperature is fast cooled to the room temperature. The alloy of the invention contains no lead in composition, is environmentally friendly and has simple production process and the powder metallurgy method is applicable to large-scale batch production and has low processing cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a metal material and its manufacturing technology, in particular to lead-free free-cutting brass and its manufacturing method. Background technique [0002] The solubility of lead in brass melt is very high, but the solid solubility in copper is almost zero, so when the lead brass melt solidifies, lead will precipitate to form dispersed and fine lead particles. Lead is brittle but not hard. On the other hand, the melting point of lead is only 327.5°C. When the lead brass is cut, the temperature rise will make the lead particles softer. When the lead brass is cut, these particles will disperse. The soft lead particle is equivalent to a cavity in the brass, which becomes a source of stress concentration and produces the so-called "notch effect", which causes chips to break easily here. In addition, the contact part between the cutter head and the chip is instantly melted due to the heat of the cutting process, which helps to cha...
