[0002] In the field of sewing machine manufacturing, the rotating shuttle as a key component directly affects the sewing quality and efficiency. With the development of the textile industry towards high speed and precision, the traditional rotating shuttle material gradually cannot meet the requirements in terms of wear resistance, strength, corrosion resistance and the like. The traditional manufacturing process has limitations in the forming precision of complex shapes, production efficiency and the improvement of material performance, and cannot adapt to the use requirements of the rotating shuttle under harsh working conditions such as high-speed operation and frequent friction. Therefore, developing high-performance alloy materials and advanced preparation processes has become an inevitable trend in the industry, and the powder deoxidization and purification technology can reduce the oxygen content of metal powder and reduce the influence of impurities, and the MIM technology can realize near-net forming of complex shapes, which provides a feasible path for the preparation of high-performance materials for the rotating shuttle.

[0003] Therefore, a high-performance alloy material for a rotating shuttle based on powder deoxidization and purification and MIM technology and a preparation process thereof are provided. SUMMARY

[0004] The application provides a high-performance alloy material for a rotating shuttle based on powder deoxidization and purification and MIM technology and a preparation process thereof to solve the problems in the background art.

[0005] The specific technical scheme is as follows:

[0007] Through specific alloy component design, the main alloy elements such as iron, nickel, chromium and molybdenum synergistically act to improve the strength, hardness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the material; aluminum and titanium as deoxidizing elements cooperate with low oxygen content control to reduce the adverse effects of impurities on performance, while ensuring that the material has high hardness and impact toughness, so that the alloy material can adapt to the harsh working conditions of high-speed operation and frequent friction of the rotating shuttle.

[0012] The application also provides a preparation process of the high-performance alloy material for the shuttle based on powder deoxidization and MIM technology, comprising the following steps:

[0013] (1) Powder deoxidization: the metal mixed powder is subjected to deoxidization treatment by adopting a hydrogen reduction-vacuum deoxidization combined process to obtain low-oxygen metal powder;

[0014] (2) Feeding preparation: the low-oxygen metal powder obtained in step (1) is mixed with a binder, and uniform metal powder feeding is obtained through mixing;

[0024] Through the optimization of the injection molding parameters (temperature, pressure, holding time, etc.), the metal powder feed can be ensured to fully fill the mold, accurately replicate the shape of the mold, improve the dimensional accuracy and forming quality of the rotating hook green body, and reduce the subsequent machining allowance.

[0025] The preparation process of the high-performance alloy material of the rotating hook based on powder deoxidization and MIM technology, wherein in step (4), the degreasing treatment adopts a combination of solvent degreasing and thermal degreasing, wherein the solvent degreasing temperature is 40-60℃, the time is 4-8h; the thermal degreasing temperature is 200-500℃, the heating rate is 1-5℃ / min, and the holding time is 2-6h.

[0026] The solvent degreasing and the thermal degreasing are combined, the solvent degreasing can remove part of the binder, the thermal degreasing further removes the residual binder, the step-by-step degreasing reduces the stress and deformation generated in the binder removal process, ensures the shape stability of the blank, and reduces defects.

[0053] Working principle

[0054] Iron, nickel, chromium and molybdenum are used as main alloying elements to build the basic framework of the material through synergistic effect, thereby improving the overall strength and wear resistance; aluminum and titanium are combined with oxygen during the deoxidization process to reduce the impurity content. Hydrogen reduction can reduce metal oxides to elemental metals, and vacuum deoxidization can further remove residual oxygen and gas impurities to ensure the purity of the powder. The synergy of each link in MIM ensures uniform mixing of the feedstock, accurate replication of the shuttle shape during injection molding, removal of the binder during debinding, densification of the material during sintering, and finally the formation of an alloy material with performance suitable for the working conditions of the shuttle.

[0068] Working principle

[0069] The adjustment of nickel and chromium content enhances the corrosion resistance of the material, and the increase of molybdenum further improves the wear resistance. In a vacuum environment, silicon powder reacts with residual oxygen to form stable compounds, which, combined with vacuum removal, strengthens the deoxidation effect. The optimization of the proportion of the binder and the mixing parameters improves the flowability of the feedstock, which is beneficial for the molding of complex shapes; higher sintering temperature promotes powder particle diffusion and improves material density.

The combination of hydrogen reduction and vacuum deoxidization achieves deep deoxidization, ensuring powder purity. High proportion of metal powder combined with high injection pressure of binder makes the feed fully fill the complex cavity of the mold, improving the integrity of the formed details; high temperature rapid sintering promotes particle fusion, shortens the production cycle.
