Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of powder metallurgy, and in particular to a method for preventing rust of powder metallurgy parts. Background Art

[0002] Powder metallurgy is a process that uses a mixture of metal powder (or a mixture of metal powder and non-metallic powder) as raw material to produce metal materials, composite materials and various products through molding and sintering processes.

[0003] Powder metallurgy technology can produce complex shapes and structures, achieve design flexibility, meet the requirements of material properties and shapes in different application fields, and is suitable for mass production of precision and complex parts. This makes powder metallurgy technology widely used in many fields such as automobile manufacturing, electronic equipment, and aerospace.

[0004] The process of powder metallurgy determines that powder metallurgy is a porous structure product. This porous structure makes it difficult to remove moisture from the product, especially in high temperature and high humidity seasons, it is particularly prone to rust, so timely rust prevention measures need to be taken, but the rust prevention methods in the prior art have insufficient oil absorption during the cleaning process, and the oil-water separation and dehydration properties of the rust-proof oil are also insufficient, resulting in poor rust prevention effect on the treated powder metallurgy parts. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for preventing rust of powder metallurgy parts, which is configured with rust-proof oil having good oil-water separation and dehydration properties, and can improve the rust-proof effect of the parts after immersion.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a method for rust prevention of powder metallurgy parts, the specific steps are as follows: S1: cleaning process; 1.1: Place the parts made by powder metallurgy under the fan for blowing to remove some impurities attached to the surface; 1.2: After purging, the parts are placed in the cleaning tank of the cleaning machine for cleaning. Each cleaning tank is equipped with oil-absorbing cotton and magnetic rods. The oil-absorbing cotton can absorb the oil during the cleaning process, and the oil absorption rate is more than 7 times that of the existing technology. The magnetic rod can absorb the dirt during the cleaning process; 1.3: New water is continuously added to the cleaning tank during cleaning. The cleaning time lasts for 5-12 minutes. The water temperature during cleaning is controlled at 30-60℃. Properly increasing the water temperature can increase the effect of oil removal. S2: Drying process: 2.1: Take the cleaned parts out of the cleaning machine and wipe the surface of the parts dry with a cloth that has water absorption capacity. The cloth can be a cotton cloth with good water absorption effect to prevent it from dripping and improve the drying efficiency; 2.2: The wiped parts are placed in the drying section for further drying. During drying, hot air at 50-70°C is blown to the surface of the workpiece for 3-10 minutes to reduce the moisture content of the parts. S3: oil immersion process; 3.1: Choose anti-rust oil with good oil-water separation and dehydration properties; 3.2: Heat the anti-rust oil to 80-120℃, then immerse the dried parts in the anti-rust oil for 40-70 minutes; 3.3: After soaking, take the parts out of the anti-rust oil and drain the anti-rust oil on the surface of the parts to prevent the parts from carrying the anti-rust oil and causing the anti-rust oil to drip everywhere. Then let the parts stand at room temperature to cool for 15-30 minutes; 3.4: Randomly select multiple samples from the cooled parts, and subject them to wet heat test and salt spray test. If all samples are not rusted after two tests, it means that this batch of parts is qualified. If rust occurs, it is unqualified. The unqualified parts of the same batch need to be treated with rust prevention again. If they are still unqualified after three rust prevention treatments, they will be recycled and destroyed; S4: Full appearance inspection; 4.1: Place the parts after the oil immersion process on a turntable with a protective cover and inspect the appearance. The full inspection area is in a closed state. The humidity in the full inspection area is controlled at 30-50%, and the temperature is maintained at 15-25℃. On-site personnel are equipped with sweat-proof sleeves, gloves and masks. After the full appearance inspection is qualified, all parts can be completely rust-proofed.

[0007] Furthermore, the cleaning machine in S1 is provided with four cleaning tanks, which are detected by a liquid level sensor and automatically discharged to tank 3 by a water pump to ensure that the water in tank 3 is clean and new water is continuously added.

[0008] Furthermore, the drying section in S2 is separate and longer than the conventional drying section.

[0009] Furthermore, the anti-rust oil in S3 must be kept flowing during the soaking process of the parts, and the mixed water-based liquid in the anti-rust oil must be removed regularly. At the same time, the anti-rust oil needs to be regularly replenished and replaced. During the soaking process of the parts, cooling water is also needed to cool the anti-rust oil to ensure that the temperature of the anti-rust oil is within the set range, and the filter bag for filtering the anti-rust oil needs to be replaced once a day; Only the sample needs to be processed in 3.4 in S3, and other parts do not need to be tested. However, it is necessary to wait for the results of the sample test. Only after passing the test can S4 be carried out.

[0010] Furthermore, the wet heat test in S3 is to place the parts in a wet heat environment at 50°C for 4 hours, and the salt spray test is to spray a 0.5% NaCL solution on the parts after atomization for 30 minutes; Parts samples that have passed two tests must go through S1, S2, and S3 again even if they are qualified.

[0011] Furthermore, the protective shield in the S4 needs to be wiped down every two hours.

[0012] Further, the raw materials of the rust-proof oil in 3.1 are respectively as follows in parts by weight: 100 parts of synthetic oil, 30 parts of rust-proof agent, 10 parts of diaryl secondary amine, 10 parts of organic acid salt, 5 parts of chemical demulsifier and 5 parts of anhydrous calcium chloride; The synthetic oil, the rust inhibitor, the diaryl secondary amine and the organic acid salt are the basic components of the traditional rust-proof oil. The raw materials of the traditional rust-proof oil are 100 parts of the synthetic oil, 30 parts of the rust inhibitor, 10 parts of the diaryl secondary amine and 10 parts of the organic acid salt in parts by weight. The extra chemical demulsifier in the rust-proof oil of the invention can reduce the stability of the emulsion, thereby improving the oil-water separation property of the rust-proof oil, and the anhydrous calcium chloride can absorb water, reduce the reaction between water and metal parts, thereby improving the dehydration property of the rust-proof oil.

[0013] In the above technical solution, the technical effects and advantages provided by the present invention are: 1. By installing oil-absorbing cotton and magnetic rods inside each cleaning tank, the oil absorption rate is more than 7 times that of the existing technology, and the dirt in the cleaning process is absorbed. At the same time, the liquid level sensor detects and automatically discharges the water in tank 4 to tank 3 through a water pump to ensure that the water in tank 3 is clean and new water is continuously added, so that the cleaning effect of the parts is better, and the anti-rust effect after treatment is also better; 2. Choose anti-rust oil with good oil-water separation and dehydration properties. After soaking, it can improve the anti-rust effect of parts. In addition, the control requirements for the frequency of filter bag replacement have been updated, changing once a week to once a day, which improves the performance of anti-rust oil and thus improves the anti-rust effect of parts.

[0020] 20 parts each treated by Examples 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 were selected, for a total of 100 parts. The methods of Examples 1, 2, 3 and 4 are roughly the same, and only differ in some temperatures and treatment times. The treatment method of Example 5 is close to the traditional treatment method in the prior art. Therefore, Example 5 is used as a control group, and 100 parts selected are subjected to a second, more rigorous test. The test standards are as follows: These parts are uniformly placed in a closed space, and then a 0.5% NaCL solution is atomized and sprayed on the surface of the parts, and the temperature in the closed space is heated to 60°C for 1 hour, and then the number of parts corresponding to each embodiment that have rusted is checked. Then the test state is continued, and finally the time required for all 20 parts corresponding to the embodiment to rust is calculated. Through comparison, it is found that the present invention can effectively improve the rust prevention effect of powder metallurgy parts by improving the rust prevention method by arranging oil-absorbing cotton and magnetic bars and adopting a new rust-proof oil with better oil-water separation and dehydration properties.
