Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of powder metallurgy, and in particular to a powder metallurgy material and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Powder metallurgy mainly refers to porous, semi-dense or fully dense materials made by powder metallurgy process. Powder metallurgy materials have unique chemical composition and physical and mechanical properties that cannot be obtained by traditional melting and casting processes, such as controllable porosity, uniform material structure, no macro segregation, and one-time molding.

[0003] In the prior art, the hardness of powder metallurgy materials is directly related to their porosity. The surface macroscopic hardness of powder metallurgy products decreases with the increase of porosity. This is because the matrix material is weakened by the pores. When measuring the hardness, the indenter presses on the metal matrix and the pores at the same time, resulting in a significant reduction in the volume resisting the indenter, thereby reducing the ability of the material surface to resist plastic deformation, and the measured hardness value is low. In general, as the porosity increases, the corresponding hardness of powder metallurgy materials will also decrease.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a powder metallurgy material and a preparation method thereof to improve the porosity of the metal metallurgical material while ensuring the hardness requirement is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently by those skilled in the art.

[0146]

[0147] As can be seen from Table 1 above, in Examples 1-4 with pore-forming additives added, as the addition amount increases, the density of the finished product continuously decreases, indicating an increase in porosity. In Comparative Example 1 without addition, the density is significantly higher than that of Examples 1-4. At the same time, in the case of adding pore-forming additives, the hardness of Examples 1-4 continuously decreases, but in terms of the overall decreasing trend, the decrease amplitude is not large. Of course, in Comparative Example 1 without pore-forming additives, its hardness is the highest, but compared with Example 1 with pore-forming additives added, under the same proportion, its hardness decreases less and its density decreases more, achieving the expected experimental effect.

[0148] In the technical solution of this application, a pore-forming additive is creatively added to the iron-based powder metallurgy material. It reacts by reacting copper sulfate, titanium dioxide and silicon nitride in the state of a reducing agent to generate a porous material, which can improve the porosity of the finished product in the processing of powder metallurgy materials; at the same time, combined with the blank sintering method of this application, its hardness can also meet the ideal requirements.

Therefore, these modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present invention all fall within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
