Abstract:
A process is provided for the manufacture of porous metal components. The process involves preparing a colloidal suspension comprising a metal-containing powder in admixture with a binder system, and a plasticizer in an organinc solvent. Optionally, a particulate pore forming agent may be added to the suspension. The suspension is cast into a thin sheet and air dried to thereby form a tape. The tapes are layered and formed by compacting at predetermined pressures to laminate the tapes, thus forming a green body. Optionally, a second pore-forming agent may be introduced between, or associated with, the tape layers. The green body is heated at a controlled rate to form a brown body, and finally sintered under controlled conditions to produce the finished component.
Abstract:
The invention concerns the manufacture of dense sintered products by sintering green compacts which have been sintered from powder material in a vacuum and subsequently compressed by hot isostatic pressing (HIP). The invention calls for an inert gas to be passed round the green compacts during the vacuum-sintering stage, while still maintaining a low pressure of between (1) and (10) mbar. A suitable device for carrying out this process has inert-gas feed line (18) leading into the sample container (16). After passing round the compact(s) (17) being sintered, the gas is removed from the pressure chamber through a suction line (20).
Abstract:
The invention concerns composites substantially consisting of: a cermet material having a binder metal phase of between 5 and 30 mass % and the remainder comprising at least one carbon nitride phase; or a hard metal with a hard material phase of between 70 and 100 %, the remainder being a binder metal phase, with the exception of a WC-Co hard metal, with up to 25 mass % cobalt as binder metal; or a powder-metallurgically produced steel. The invention further concerns a process for producing this composite. In order to improve bending strength and hardness, sintering is carried out in a microwave field.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a body of the porous type, in particular suitable for use in a corrosive environment with a high temperature. According to the invention, the body is composed of a sintered material, substantially comprising a metal or metal alloy, provided at least at or near a surface or partial surface of the body with at least one diffusion coating and/or oxide skin. The body is in particular suitable for use as a filter, catalyst or burner bed in a corrosive environment with very high temperatures.
Abstract:
An object of fibre metal and a method for manufacturing of the same, at which metal fibres (5) are separated from e.g. a material, which can be constituted by a wire (2), in a cutting-machine (1), showing one or several cutting edges (4), at which a liquid containing oxide-forming additives in solution, emulsion or suspension are added to the wire (2) before the cutting, or to the metal fibres (5) directly at the cutting before the temperature of the metal fibres (5) is lowered below a critical oxidation temperature for the additives, at which the liquid is vaporized and the additives are oxidized upon the surface of the fibres (5). The fibres (5) coated with the additives are compressed into a on forehand given shape, e.g. a semi-finished product (13). The additives is containing at least some of the elements Cu, S, Sr, Mo, F, Mn and Ni.
Abstract:
A cutting tool insert comprises a hard metal substrate having at least two wear-resistant coatings including an exterior ceramic coating and a coating under the ceramic coating being a metal carbonitride having a nitrogen to carbon atomic ratio between 0.7 and 0.95 which causes the metal carbonitride to form projections into the ceramic coating improving adherence and fatigue strength of the ceramic coating.
Abstract:
Method to create three-dimensional bodies (30), for example models, formers, finished products, semi-finished products, among others, from a medium (12) consisting of particles, by producing a number of cross-sectional layers (25), each and every one representing a cross section of an object that has to be manufactured, whereby by means of an energy producing device (22a), which moves over the medium, the particles, in the just then topmost layer, in chosen areas, are connected at least with each other or with each other and with a preceding layer, in accordance with signals from a control unit (20). Particles that are not connected in respective layers are removed. The energy producing device (22a), which comprises at least one electrode (22b), forms one of the poles in a circuit, where the other pole is constituted of said medium (12), which is electrically conducting or semiconducting when these poles are connected to at least a voltage source (40), whereby energy waves are formed between said electrode and said medium (12), for example in form of at least an electric arc or heat, that connect the material particles of said medium by changing the physical characteristics of said particles in said chosen area (25).

A heat-insulating component consists of a porous body obtained by moulding and sintering an iron-base powder having an admixture of 2-10 % by weight of silicon, preferably 4-8 % by weight. A method of making the heat-insulating component includes the steps of preparing an iron-base powder mixture with an admixture of 2-10 % by weight of silicon, preferably 4-8 % by weight; optionally supplying the powder with further admixtures in the form of 3-12 % by weight of maganese, preferably 5-10 % by weight, up to 25 % by weight of chromium, up to 15 % by weight of nickel, up to 2.5 % by weight of molybdenum and up to 2 % by weight of carbon, moulding the powder mixture into a body of desired shape, and sintering the body for obtaining a porous component having a coefficient of thermal conductivity below about 12 W/m°K, preferably below 7 W/m°K.
Abstract:
A method of producing cemented carbide or cermet alloy comprising mixing and kneading cemented carbide powder or cermet alloy powder with an organic binder, molding this mixed powder into a predetermined shape by injection molding, removing the organic binder from the resulting mold and sintering the mold to obtain a compact alloy. The removal of the organic binder is carried out in a first removing step in an inert gas atmosphere and subsequently in a second removing step in vacuum of 1 Torr or below. In the first removing step, the pressure of the atmosphere is kept at or above the atmospheric pressure so as to prevent the occurrence of defects in the mold. After continuous fine pores are formed inside the mold, the pressure of the atmosphere is kept near vacuum in order to promote the evaporation of the gas from the surface and the release of the gas generated inside the mold.
