The invention discloses a self-lubricating porous
copper-based oil-retaining bearing material, a preparation method and application thereof and a bearing containing the material. The preparation method comprises the following steps of material pretreatment, wherein
copper-
tin binary alloy powder is subjected to reduction
drying treatment; mold pressing
sintering forming is conducted, specifically, mold pressing pre-forming and near-melting-point
sintering treatment are conducted on the pretreated
copper-
tin binary alloy powder in sequence, and a porous copper-
tin binary alloy blank is obtained;
borax dipping treatment: putting the blank into a container filled with a
borax aqueous solution, and sequentially dipping,
drying and curing under a vacuumizing condition and a normal pressure condition, so that a
borax film is formed on the inner wall of a pore of the blank; and gradient
solution treatment is conducted, specifically, the blank subjected to borax dipping treatment is subjected to two-stage heating heat treatment under the protective
atmosphere, the blank is rapidly cooled to the
room temperature, and the self-lubricating porous copper-based oil bearing material is obtained.The preparation method is simple and efficient,
heat energy consumption is greatly reduced, and the prepared bearing material has a stable porous gap structure and is suitable for large-scale production. The self-lubricating property and the high
toughness property are realized.
