[0048] In the following description, for the purpose of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of one or more embodiments. However, it is apparent that these embodiments may also be implemented without these specific details.

[0049] In view of the above-mentioned prior art, in which a nitrogen sintering process is performed by setting the negative pressure degreasing time and temperature, the vacuum sintering time and temperature, and the partial pressure sintering time and temperature, the obtained special-shaped structural parts have the problems of severe deformation and unstable size. An F75 stainless steel special-shaped part and a sintering method thereof are proposed.

[0050] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, the F75 stainless steel special-shaped part sintering method provided by the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0053] Step S1, placing the blank in a sintering furnace, and removing the binder in the blank by introducing a nitrogen gas flow into the sintering furnace, so that the carbon content in the blank is ≤0.2%, and the oxygen content is ≤0.1%, thereby obtaining a defatted blank.

[0054] Specifically, the F75 stainless steel special-shaped blank to be sintered is placed in a sintering furnace, and the binder in the blank is removed by introducing a nitrogen gas flow into the sintering furnace until the carbon content in the blank is ≤0.2% and the oxygen content is ≤0.1%, so as to obtain a degreased blank. During the negative pressure degreasing process, the carbon content in the blank is ≤0.2%, which ensures that the density of the blank is ≥7.5g / cm in the subsequent partial pressure sintering process. 3 A factor of the blank density ≥7.5g / cm 3 , the internal voids are small, which is one of the factors that reduce the sintering deformation of the product. Controlling the oxygen content ≤0.1% can reduce the combination of elements and oxygen in the blank during the subsequent partial pressure sintering process, thereby reducing the generated compound impurities. Compound impurities during the sintering process are also one of the factors affecting product deformation. As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the blank is placed in a sintering furnace, and the binder in the blank is removed by introducing a nitrogen gas flow into the sintering furnace, so that the carbon content in the blank is ≤0.2% and the oxygen content is ≤0.1%. Obtaining a defatted blank includes:

[0055] Placing the blank in a sintering furnace, raising the temperature in the sintering furnace to 260-420° C., setting the holding time of the sintering furnace to 30-120 min, and removing the binder in the blank for the first time by introducing a nitrogen gas flow into the sintering furnace, so that the carbon content in the blank is ≤0.4% and the oxygen content is ≤0.1%, thereby obtaining a first degreased blank;

[0056] The temperature in the sintering furnace is raised to 630-700°C, and the insulation time of the sintering furnace is set to 60-120min. The binder in the first degreased blank is removed again by introducing a nitrogen flow into the sintering furnace, so that the carbon content in the first degreased blank is ≤0.2% and the oxygen content is ≤0.1%, thereby obtaining a degreased blank.

[0057] Specifically, the sintering furnace is heated twice to ensure that the carbon content in the blank is ≤0.2% and the oxygen content is ≤0.1%, so as to reduce the influence of impurity elements such as various compounds during the sintering process of the blank.

[0058] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the blank is placed in a sintering furnace, the temperature in the sintering furnace is raised to 260-420°C, the holding time of the sintering furnace is set to 30-120min, and the binder in the blank is first removed by a nitrogen gas flow introduced into the sintering furnace, so that the carbon content in the blank is ≤0.4% and the oxygen content is ≤0.1%, and in the process of obtaining the first defatted blank,

[0059] The temperature in the sintering furnace is raised from room temperature to 260-420°C over 60-90 minutes;

[0060] The temperature rise rate of the sintering furnace is 2-7℃ / min;

[0061] The pressure of nitrogen is 10-40Pa, and the flow rate of nitrogen is 15-45L / min.

[0062] Specifically, the above method can ensure that after the blank is subjected to the first negative pressure degreasing, the carbon content in the blank is ≤0.4% and the oxygen content is ≤0.1%.

[0063] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the temperature in the sintering furnace is raised to 630-700° C., the holding time of the sintering furnace is set to 60-120 min, and the binder in the first degreased blank is removed again by introducing a nitrogen gas flow into the sintering furnace, so that the carbon content in the first degreased blank is ≤0.2% and the oxygen content is ≤0.1%. In the process of obtaining the degreased blank,

[0064] The temperature of the sintering furnace is raised to 630-700°C over 60-120 minutes;

[0065] The pressure of nitrogen is 10-40Pa, and the flow rate of nitrogen is 15-45L / min.

[0066] Specifically, the above method can ensure that after the second negative pressure degreasing of the blank, the carbon content in the blank is ≤0.2% and the oxygen content is ≤0.1%.

[0067] Step S2: Argon is introduced into the degreased blank during the sintering neck formation stage, grain boundary growth stage, and pore spheroidization stage, and the sintering furnace is adjusted in a stepwise manner according to the different stages of the degreased blank, the holding time is adjusted, and the argon flow rate is controlled to obtain a density of ≥7.5g / cm 3 Primary sintering blank.

[0068] Specifically, the degreased blank generally needs to go through the neck formation stage, grain boundary growth stage and pore spheroidization stage during the partial pressure sintering process. By adjusting the sintering furnace temperature, holding time and argon flow rate in each of the above stages in turn, the factors that lead to product defects in each stage can be eliminated, and the density of the blank can be controlled to be ≥7.5g / cm 3 .

[0069] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, argon is introduced into the degreased blank during the sintering neck formation stage, grain boundary growth stage and pore spheroidization stage, and the sintering furnace is adjusted in a stepwise manner according to the different stages of the degreased blank, the holding time is adjusted and the argon flow rate is controlled to obtain a density of ≥7.5g / cm 3 The primary sintering blanks include:

[0070] The temperature of the sintering furnace is raised to 900° C.-950° C., argon gas is introduced into the sintering furnace, and the holding time of the sintering furnace is set to 30-60 minutes, so that the powder particles of the degreased blank are in contact to form a combined sintering neck, thereby obtaining a first sintered blank;

[0071] The temperature of the sintering furnace is raised to 1000-1050° C., argon gas is introduced into the sintering furnace, and the holding time of the sintering furnace is set to 30-60 minutes, so that the grain boundary grows at the powder contact point of the first sintered blank, thereby obtaining a second sintered blank;

[0073] Specifically, the degreased blank enters the sintering neck formation stage during the partial pressure sintering process. In this stage, the blank powder particles are contacted to form a combined sintering neck by controlling the furnace temperature, holding time, and argon flow rate. After a period of heat preservation, the sintering furnace is heated up again. At this time, the blank enters the grain boundary growth stage. By controlling the furnace temperature, holding time, and argon flow rate, the sintering neck grows, the combination between the powders continues to expand and merge, and a grain boundary grows at the contact point to replace the solid-gas interface. The pores between the powders begin to become smooth and interconnected. After a period of heat preservation, the sintering furnace is heated up again. At this time, the blank enters the pore spheroidization stage. The furnace temperature, holding time, and argon flow rate are controlled to make the powder shrink violently and eliminate a large number of connected pores at the same time, and the pores are spheroidized. By controlling the temperature, holding time, and argon flow rate at different sintering stages, the density of the blank can be controlled, and defects such as cracks can be eliminated in time, so that the prepared product has dimensional stability and small deformation.

[0074] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in the process of raising the temperature of the sintering furnace to 900-950°C, introducing argon into the sintering furnace, setting the holding time of the sintering furnace to 30-60 minutes, making the powder particles of the defatted blank contact to form a combined sintering neck, and obtaining the first sintered blank,

[0077] The pressure of argon gas is 10-30 Pa, and the flow rate of argon gas is 30-60 L / min.

[0078] Specifically, by setting the above parameters, the sintering neck of the blank can be formed smoothly.

[0079] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the temperature of the sintering furnace is raised to 1000-1050° C., argon gas is introduced into the sintering furnace, and the holding time of the sintering furnace is set to 30-60 minutes, so that the grain boundary grows at the powder contact point of the first sintered blank to obtain the second sintered blank.

[0080] Raise the temperature of the sintering furnace to 1000-1050°C over 30-60 minutes;

[0081] The temperature rise rate of the sintering furnace is 1.5-3℃ / min;

[0082] The pressure of argon gas is 10-30 Pa, and the flow rate of argon gas is 30-60 L / min.

[0083] Specifically, by setting the above parameters, the pores between powders can be smoothed during the grain boundary growth process of the blank, and the smooth progress of this stage can be ensured.

[0084] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the temperature of the sintering furnace is raised to 1200-1300°C, argon is introduced into the sintering furnace, and the holding time of the sintering furnace is set to 200-500min, so that the pores of the second sintered blank are spheroidized to obtain a density of ≥7.5g / cm 3 During the primary sintering of the blank,

[0085] Raise the temperature of the sintering furnace to 1200-1300°C over 30-60 minutes;

[0087] The pressure of argon gas is 10-30 Pa, and the flow rate of argon gas is 30-60 L / min.

[0088] Specifically, during the pore spheroidization stage, defects such as holes and cracks in the product can be eliminated.

[0089] Step S3, cooling the sintering furnace and continuing to introduce argon into the sintering furnace to ensure the internal phase changes of the primary sintered blank to obtain a sintered blank.

[0090] Specifically, by cooling the sintering furnace and continuing to introduce argon gas, the internal phase changes of the product structure can be ensured, and the low dew point characteristic of argon gas can be used to ensure the surface gloss of the product.

[0091] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the sintering furnace is cooled down, and argon gas is continuously introduced into the sintering furnace to ensure the internal phase change of the primary sintered blank. The sintered blank comprises:

[0092] The temperature of the sintering furnace is lowered to 1100-800°C, argon gas is introduced into the sintering furnace, and the insulation time of the sintering furnace is set to 200-500 minutes to ensure the internal phase change of the primary sintered blank to obtain the sintered blank.

[0093] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, when the temperature of the sintering furnace is lowered to 1100-800°C, argon is introduced into the sintering furnace, and the holding time of the sintering furnace is set to 200-500min to ensure the internal phase change of the primary sintered blank, in the process of obtaining the sintered blank,
