Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of abrasive technology, specifically relating to an iron-based bonded honing abrasive strip and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Honing is a crucial process in engine cylinder liner manufacturing, and its quality directly affects engine fuel consumption, emissions, and service life. Honing abrasive strips are the core tool in the honing process, consisting of three parts: abrasive, bonding agent, and pores.
[0003] Currently, most high-end honing abrasive strips on the market (especially diamond or CBN strips) use copper-based bonds. While copper-based bonds (commonly bronze bonds) offer good toughness and decent abrasive holding power, their poor wear resistance results in a short lifespan, requiring frequent replacements, impacting processing efficiency and increasing unit costs. Cobalt is often added to copper-based bonded abrasive strips to improve wear resistance; however, cobalt is extremely expensive and highly volatile, leading to high production costs.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field for a new type of binder formulation that can maintain the excellent performance (good processing quality) of copper-based binders, improve the service life of abrasive strips, and reduce production costs. Summary of the Invention

[0035] This invention provides an iron-based binder honing strip, composed of the following raw materials by mass percentage:
[0036] Iron powder: 40%-60%, copper powder: 10%-30%, tin powder: 3%-15%, nickel powder: 2%-15%, tungsten carbide powder: 1%-10%, cerium oxide: 0.1%-5%, additives: 0.5%-5%, balance is cubic boron nitride.
[0037] The raw materials for preparing the iron-based binder honing abrasive strips provided by this invention include 40%-60% iron powder, which can be 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, or any value between 40% and 60%. The particle size of the iron powder is ≤80μm. The iron powder is non-toxic, and using an iron powder-based binder can maximize the protection of the health of the abrasive strip maker while improving the pass rate of cylinder liner texture.
[0038] The raw materials for preparing the iron-based binder honing strip provided by this invention also include 10%-30% copper powder, which can be any value between 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, or 10%-30%. The particle size of the copper powder is ≤80μm.
[0039] The raw materials for preparing the iron-based binder honing strip provided by this invention also include 3%-15% tin powder, which can be any value between 3%, 5%, 7%, 9%, 10%, 12%, 14%, 15%, or 3%-15%. The particle size of the tin powder is ≤80μm.
[0040] The raw materials for preparing the iron-based binder honing strips provided by this invention also include 2%-15% nickel powder, which can be any value between 2%, 3%, 5%, 7%, 9%, 10%, 12%, 14%, 15%, or 2%-15%. The particle size of the nickel powder is ≤80μm.
[0041] The raw materials for preparing the iron-based binder honing strips provided by this invention also include 1%-10% tungsten carbide powder, which can be 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, or any value between 1% and 10%. The particle size of the tungsten carbide powder is ≤80μm. This invention uses an iron-based binder system and, by adding the high-hardness, wear-resistant component tungsten carbide, significantly improves the durability of the honing strips while significantly reducing production costs.
[0042] The raw materials for preparing the iron-based bonded honing abrasive strips provided by this invention further include 0.1%-5% cerium oxide, which can be any value between 0.1%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5%, 3%, 3.5%, 4%, 4.5%, 5%, or 0.1%-5%. The particle size of the cerium oxide is 20~30μm, which can be any value or range between 20, 25, 30, or 20~30μm. This invention adds cerium oxide to the abrasive strips. This rare earth oxide has the functions of refining grains, purifying the material surface and interface, and adsorbing harmful impurities such as O, S, and P. At the same time, it can increase the brittleness of the abrasive strips, making the abrasive easier to release its edge.
[0043] The raw materials for preparing the iron-based binder honing strip provided by this invention further include 0.5%-5% of additives, which can be 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5%, 3%, 3.5%, 4%, 4.5%, 5%, or any value between 0.5% and 5%.

[0044] The raw materials for preparing the iron-based binder honing strips provided by this invention also include a balance of cubic boron nitride. The particle size of the cubic boron nitride is 200 / 230.
[0045] The iron-based bonded honing strip provided by this invention has an overall hardness of 90-110 HRB. In the iron-based bonded honing strip, the distribution density of cubic boron nitride is 30-100 particles / mm². 2 It can be 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, or 30-100 pieces / mm. 2 Any value between.
[0046] This invention utilizes the grinding action of cubic boron nitride (CBN) and designs a binder formula with iron powder as the main component. By adding the high-hardness, wear-resistant component tungsten carbide, the durability of honing abrasive strips is significantly improved. Adding rare earth oxide cerium oxide to the abrasive strips refines grains, purifies material surfaces and interfaces, adsorbs harmful impurities, and increases the brittleness of the abrasive strips, making it easier for the abrasive to exit its cutting edge. Iron powder is non-toxic and inexpensive; using honing abrasive strips with iron powder as the main component maximizes the protection of the abrasive strip maker's health while significantly reducing production costs. The abrasive strips provided by this invention can improve the pass rate of cylinder liner texture, reduce the risk of cylinder scoring, and extend engine life.
[0047] The present invention also provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned iron-based binder honing strip, comprising the following steps:
[0048] A) Iron powder, copper powder, tin powder, nickel powder, tungsten carbide powder, cerium oxide, additives and cubic boron nitride are mixed to obtain a mixture;
[0049] B) After the mixture is molded, it is hot-pressed and sintered to obtain iron-based binder honing strips.
[0050] Specifically, step A) includes the following steps:
[0051] Iron powder, copper powder, tin powder, nickel powder, tungsten carbide powder, cerium oxide, and additives are mixed for 6-8 hours, and then mixed with cubic boron nitride for 3-5 hours to obtain a mixture.
[0052] The mixture is then molded, and the molding process includes the following steps:
[0053] (1) Assemble the mold: Select an appropriate graphite mold according to the size of the sand strip and assemble it;
[0054] (2) Feeding: Weigh a certain amount of the mixture and feed it into the assembled graphite mold layer by layer, and smooth the material with a scraper;
[0055] (3) Mold closing: Install the mold cover one by one into the mold after the material has been fed and press it tightly.
[0056] After the mold is filled, place the mold containing the mixture into the designated position in the vacuum hot pressing sintering furnace, close the door, and evacuate the furnace. Under vacuum conditions, perform staged hot pressing:
[0057] The first stage temperature is set to 450-500℃, which can be 450, 460, 470, 480, 490, 500, or any value between 450-500℃. The holding time is 2-3 minutes, which can be 2, 2.5, 3, or any value between 2-3 minutes. The pressure is set to 20-25MPa, which can be 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, or any value between 20-25MPa.
[0058] The second stage temperature is set to 650-700℃, which can be any value between 650, 660, 670, 680, 690, 700, or 650-700℃.

[0060] After hot pressing and sintering, the process also includes cooling, finishing, and inspection. Specifically, after cooling to room temperature in the furnace, the mold is removed from the workbench, the sanding strips are disassembled with a wrench, the burrs are removed with a grinding wheel, and then the strips are sent for inspection. If the inspection is qualified, the final iron-based binder honing sanding strip product is obtained.
