Benefits of technology

The mixed powder high-density molding method and system described in this patent can produce high-density green compacts while reducing production costs. It can also improve the flow of the liquid lubricant and reduce production time. The method and system can ensure a sufficient lubricating effect and selectively use a wide variety of lubricants. It can further reduce friction resistance between the particles and facilitate handling, indirectly reducing the production cost. The mixed powder high-density molding system can improve productivity and facilitate handling.

Problems solved by technology

When a green compact is subjected to a high temperature, the magnetic properties of the green compact may deteriorate.
The green compact exhibits insufficient mechanical strength when the density of the green compact is 7.4 g / cm3 or less.
Since oxidation proceeds corresponding to the temperature and the time when applying the sintering process (high-temperature atmosphere), the lubricant coated with the powder particles burns, and a residue occurs, whereby the quality of the green compact obtained by press molding deteriorates.
The methods that improve the lubricant and the methods that improve the press molding / sintering process are complex, may increase cost, and have a problem in that handling of the material is difficult or troublesome (i.e., it may be impractical).
In particular, when producing a magnetic core for an electromechanical device (e.g., motor or transformer) using a green compact, a satisfactory magnetic core may not be produced when the density of the green compact is 7.3 g / cm3 or less.
Even when the density of the magnetic core is 7.5 g / cm3, for example, the magnetic properties and the mechanical strength of the magnetic core may be insufficient in practice.
If the heat treatment temperature is less than 500° C., breakage may occur during compression molding.
If the heat treatment temperature is more than 1000° C., the insulating coating may be decomposed (i.e., the insulating properties may be impaired).

first embodiment

[0063]As illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 8, a mixed powder high-density molding system 1 includes a mixed powder feeding device 10, a first press molding device 20, a heating device 30, and a second press molding device 40, and stably and reliably implements a mixed powder high-density molding method that includes a mixed powder-filling step (PR1) that fills a first die (lower die 21) with a mixed powder 100 that is prepared by mixing a low-melting-point lubricant powder with a basic metal powder, an intermediate green compact-forming step (PR2) that applies a first pressure (P1) to the mixed powder 100 in the first die (lower die 21) using an upper die 25 attached to a slide 1 of a press molding device 20 to form a mixed powder intermediate compressed body (hereinafter may be referred to as “intermediate green compact 110”) having a protrusion 110A, a heating step (PR3) that heats the intermediate green compact 110 removed from the first die (lower die 21) to the melting point of the lub...

second embodiment

[0152]FIG. 10 illustrates a second embodiment of the invention. The second embodiment is identical with the first embodiment as to the mixed powder feeding device 10 and the first press molding device 20, but differs from the first embodiment in that the heating device 30 and the second press molding device 40 are integrally formed.

[0153]Specifically, a high-density molding system 1 according to the second embodiment includes a heating / press molding device 70 that has the function of the heating device 30 and the function of the second press molding device 40 (see the first embodiment). The heating / press molding device 70 includes a plurality of (e.g., two) heating / press molding sub-devices 70A and 70B. The heating / press molding sub-devices 70A and 70B are selectively (sequentially) operated by a control device (not illustrated in the drawings) in a production cycle.

[0154]The heating / press molding sub-devices 70A and 70B have a basic structure similar to that of the second press mol...

Abstract

A first die is filled with a mixed powder that is a mixture of a basic metal powder and a low-melting-point lubricant powder. A first pressure is applied to the mixed powder to form a mixed powder intermediate compressed body having a protrusion that protrudes in the pressing direction as compared with the configuration of a mixed powder final compressed body. The mixed powder intermediate compressed body is heated to the melting point of the lubricant powder. The heated mixed powder intermediate compressed body is placed in a second die. A second pressure is applied to the mixed powder intermediate compressed body to press-mold the mixed powder intermediate compressed body while crushing the protrusion in the pressing direction to form the high-density mixed powder final compressed body having high density and the desired configuration.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a high-density molding method and a high-density molding system that can form a green compact having high density (e.g., 7.75 g / cm3) by pressing a mixed powder twice.BACKGROUND ART[0002]Powder metallurgy is a technique that normally presses (compresses) a metal powder to form a green compact having a given shape, and heats the green compact to a temperature around the melting point of the metal powder to promote intergranular coupling (solidification) (i.e., sintering process). This makes it possible to inexpensively produce a mechanical part that has a complex shape and high dimensional accuracy.[0003]An improvement in mechanical strength of a green compact has been desired in order to deal with a demand for a further reduction in size and weight of mechanical parts. When a green compact is subjected to a high temperature, the magnetic properties of the green compact may deteriorate. Therefore, the subsequent high-temperature tr...
