The present invention provides iron-based infiltration methods for manufacturing powder metallurgy components, compositions prepared from those methods, and methods of designing those infiltration methods. Iron-based infiltration methods include the steps of providing an iron-based infiltrant composed of a near eutectic liquidus composition of a first iron based alloy system and an iron-based base compact composed of a near eutectic solidus powder composition of a second iron based alloy system. The base compact is place in contact with the infiltrant and heated to a process temperature above the melting point of the infiltrant to form a liquid component of the infiltrant. Lastly, the base compact is infiltrated with the liquid component of the infiltrant. During infiltration, the liquid component of the infiltrant flows into the pores of the base compact.

Metallurgical powder compositions of the present invention include an iron based powder combined with a master alloy powder, as a mechanical property enhancing powder. The addition of master alloy powders has been found to enhance the mechanical properties of the final, sintered, compacted parts made from metallurgical powder compositions, especially at low sintering temperatures. Metallurgical powder compositions include at least about 80 weight percent of an iron-based metallurgical powder and from about 0.10 to about 20 weight percent of a master alloy powder. Master alloy powders include iron and from about 1.0 to about 40 weight percent chromium, and from about 1.0 to about 35 weight percent silicon, based on the weight of the master alloy powder.

The present invention provides iron-based metallurgical powder compositions and a method of making and using the same. The metallurgical powder compositions of the present invention contain certain amounts of an iron-alloy powder having iron and at least one alloying additive; substantially pure iron powder; and a carbon powder, such as graphite. The metallurgical powder compositions are prepared by admixing the iron-alloy powder with the iron powder and carbon powder. The metallurgical powder compositions thus produce and when formed into metal parts have, for example, improved machinability properties.

A method is provided for lubricating a die cavity that includes applying a lubricant composition containing a high melting point polymeric wax lubricant to the wall of a die cavity. Preferably, the lubricant is a polyamide lubricant that has a melting temperature greater than the temperature of the die wall during use. The present invention also provides a method of making a compacted metal part that includes applying the lubricant composition to an internal wall of a die cavity, introducing a metal-based powder composition into the die cavity; and compacting the powder composition at a pressure sufficient to form a compacted part from the metal powder composition.

The present invention provides a method of making metallurgical powder compositions and a method of using the metallurgical powder compositions produced. The method of the present invention includes providing a prealloy powder containing iron and one or more alloying additives that is preferably molybdenum, and admixing the iron-based prealloy powder with a copper containing powder having a weight average particle size of 60 microns or less, and a nickel containing powder having a weight average particle size of 20 microns. The mixture containing the iron-based prealloy powder, copper containing powder, and nickel containing powder is bonded in some manner to facilitate adhesion of the prealloy powder with the other alloying powders. Preferably, a binding agent is used to effect bonding. The metallurgical powder compositions thus produced have, for example, improved mechanical strength properties when formed into metal parts.
摘要:
A method is provided for incorporating lubricant and a sintering aid into a metallurgical powder composition of iron-based powders. A particulate iron-based powder is contacted and wetted with solution of a metal salt of a fatty acid in an organic solvent. The solvent is removed to provide iron-based particles having a coating of the metal salt. The resulting self-lubricated powder composition can be compacted and sintered to produce a compact having superior strength properties.
