First, vulcanized powder metallurgy products

 

Objective (a) of vulcanized

 

Vulcanization process in powder metallurgy products as anti-friction bearing material applied powder metallurgy, iron-based oil bearing the most widely used. Sintered oil-bearing (including the amount of graphite 1% -4%) manufacturing process is simple, low cost, under PV <18 ~ 25 kgcm m / cm 2 · sec situation, can replace bronze, babbitt and other friction-reducing material. But under heavy operating conditions, such as high friction surface sliding speed and load larger units, the sintered parts wear resistance and life will rapidly decrease. In order to improve anti-friction porous iron base friction-reducing properties of parts, reduce the friction coefficient and improve the working temperature to expand the scope of its application, the use of vulcanization process is a worthy way.

 

Sulfide sulfur and most have some lubricating properties. Is a kind of good iron sulfide solid lubricant, particularly under dry conditions, the presence of iron sulfide, with good seizure resistance.

 

Iron-based powder metallurgy products, using its pores may be impregnated quite a lot of sulfur, sulfur and heated iron can pore surface of iron sulfide, which is evenly distributed throughout the product plays a good lubrication on the friction surface effect, and can improve the cutting performance. After the vulcanized products, friction and cutting surface looked very smooth.

 

Porous sintered iron sulfide after treatment, the most prominent role is a good dry friction properties. In the oil-free operating conditions (that is, or can not be allowed to refuel refueling), it is a satisfactory self-lubricating material, and has good seizure resistance and reduce the phenomenon of bite-axis. In addition, the friction properties of this material and the general anti-friction material is different. Usually material than the pressure increases, the friction coefficient begins to change little when the pressure ratio exceeds a certain value, a sharp increase in the coefficient of friction. And through the porous sintered iron sulfide after the treatment, the friction coefficient increases its pressure ratio than the pressure in a wide range increased but decreased. This is a valuable anti-friction material characteristics.

 

After the curing process of sintering iron-based oil bearing, can successfully work in the following 250 ℃.

 

(B) curing Process

 

Vulcanization process is relatively simple, does not require specialized equipment, the process is as follows:

 

Sulfur placed in a crucible and heated to melt, the temperature control in the 120 ~ 130 ℃, the sulfur flow at this time is better, if the temperature is too high, is not conducive to dipping. The need impregnated sintered article preheated to 100 ~ 150 ℃, then the article is immersed in molten sulfur was immersed for 3 to 20 minutes, not been pre-impregnated article 25 to 30 minutes. Depending on the density of the article, the wall thickness and to determine the required amount of immersion immersion time. Low density, wall thickness of immersion time may be less; and vice versa. Dip After removing products, shed the remaining sulfur. Finally, the impregnated products into the furnace, hydrogen-protection, can also be protected with charcoal, heated to 700 ~ 720 ℃ incubated 0.5 to 1 hour, at this time, sulfur and iron immersed in the role of iron sulfide. 6 to a density of 6.2 g / cm 3 article, sulfur enters about 35 to 4 percent (by weight). In order to make immersed heating firing is part of pores formed iron sulfide sulfur.

 

After the curing process of sintered products, can be oiled and finishing and other treatment.

 

Application (c) Examples of the vulcanization process

 

1, the hub sleeve flour machine installed in two ends of the roll, a total of four sets. A pressure of 280 kg roller, the rotational speed of 700 to 1000 rev / min (P = 10 kg / cm 2, V = 2 m / sec). Original tin bronze bushings with rejection oil ring lubrication. Now switch to a density of 5.8 g / cm 3, S containing an amount of 6.8% instead of porous sintered iron, no need for the original lubricating device before driving just a few drops of oil, continuous 40 hours, the temperature was about 40 ℃ sleeve ; 12,000 kg flour mill, the sleeve is still working properly.

 

2, small cone drill cone drill sleeve is an important tool for oil drilling, oil drilling at the top of this there is a slide shaft sleeve, that is a lot of pressure (pressure P = 500 kgf / cm 2, the speed V = 0.15 m / s ), and a strong vibration and shock.

 

Second, powder metallurgy products, immersion oil treatment

 

Powder metallurgy antifriction products Porous immersion oil is an important step to increase the corrosion resistance of powder metallurgy products, improve the wear resistance and prolong its life. Iron-based oil bearing sintering after immersion oil treatment, lube oil enters the product pores, when the shaft is rotated, and sets the occurrence of dynamic friction, heat, bearing temperature rise, the oil case of thermal expansion, flows out from the pores to the shaft and sleeve Auto play between oil, lubricating oil film formation and friction reduction. Immersion oil products can be prevented from being oxidized.

 

Oil immersion method can be divided into ordinary immersion oil, heating oil and vacuum immersion oil immersed.

 

Common oil-soaked: the clean oil into the sintered article (generally 20 to 30 oil) soaked. In the capillary forces of oil products, dipped into the pores of the article. This method is low efficiency immersion oil, oil-soaked long time, take a few hours, with the oil content of products is not high.

 

Heating oil immersion: to clean the sintered article into 80 ~ 120 ℃ hot oil soak for 1 hour. Since the product is heated, interconnected pores in the expansion of the air, so that part of the air is removed. After cooling, the remaining part of the air and contraction, and oil is sucked into the pores. Due to the good flowability of the hot oil, high lubricity, thus there is more oil into the article. The oil immersion method more efficient than ordinary oil immersion rate.

 

Vacuum immersion oil: to clean the sintered product placed in a vacuum chamber, sealed evacuated to -720 mm Hg, and then into the vacuum chamber into the oil, then heated to 80 ℃, for 20 to 30 minutes. Since the article interconnected pores in the air pumped out, the oil can be immersed within 10 minutes of the article. This method is high oil immersion efficiency and speed.

 

Another form of this method, the article is first placed in a vacuum oven air out, and then put into a preheated oil through a vacuum chamber, the article by covering the vacuum container with the atmosphere and then turned on, oil That article quickly immersed pores.

 

Third, wax

 

Powder metallurgy products have generally porous nature, the larger the contact interface with the air, etc., prone to corrosion phenomenon, especially in coastal areas wetter, air humidity, corrosion products, more serious. In some cases, not only the article surface subject to corrosion, even intercommunicating interstices surface will corrode severely affect its performance, or even cause scrap.

 

In order to prevent and reduce the corrosion of iron-based products, after immersion oil must also be coated with wax, in order to cut off contact with the preparation with the outside world. Thus, in the long-distance transport products to save or longer (as required, the article can not rust within six months), will not rust.

 

Waxing process powder metallurgy products are put into the wax on wax cylinder, heated to 60 ~ 80 ℃, so the melting wax, clean the article is immersed in liquid wax and remove immediately, that is coated on the surface of the article a uniform layer of wax, cool before packaging.

 

Liquid paraffin wax and petrolatum that is, according to different seasons have different proportions. Plus Vaseline aims to improve the fastness of liquid wax after drying, without cracking. The temperature is high can add less Vaseline, petroleum jelly may be appropriate to increase the ratio of the temperature is low. Generally use 20% petrolatum, 80% paraffin wax.

 

Fourth, packaging

 

Suitable packaging is to protect the powder metallurgy products in storage, during transport without damage, deterioration, is the last step in the production of powder metallurgy. If the package is not good can cause loss of the final product, it should be said to be very unfortunate.

 

Packing method is: the article after waxing, rust-proof paper packaging, the number of pieces of a box wrapped load, pack should put certificate and instruction manual. Outer box marked Make and address of the manufacturer, product name, type and quantity of product size and specifications. You can not cut error assembling models with different specifications and mixed. And after a number of boxed into a box, the box must be around the mat waterproof paper, each containing not more than 50 kg weight. Outside the box shall be marked with the manufacturer make and address, product name, type, size and quantity. While packing date should be marked and finally labeled "Handle with care, pay attention to moisture" mark.

Powder metallurgy processing bearings how to improve the wear resistance?

The vulcanization process, powder metallurgy products

 

The purpose of (a) vulcanization processing

 

Vulcanization process in powder metallurgy products rolled as anti-friction material liner applications, with the application of iron base oil bearing is the most widespread. Sintering oil-retaining bearing (graphite content 1% - 1%), simple manufacturing process, low cost, in PV < 18 ~ 25 kg · m/cm 2 · s situation, but instead of bronze, babbitt anti-friction and show advertisements on a oil bearing

 

The vulcanization process, powder metallurgy products

 

The purpose of (a) vulcanization processing

 

Vulcanization process in powder metallurgy products as friction material of powder metallurgy bearing applications, with the application of iron base oil bearing is the most widespread. Sintering oil-retaining bearing (graphite content 1% - 1%), simple manufacturing process, low cost, in PV < 18 ~ 25 kg · m/cm 2 · s situation, but instead of bronze, the anti-friction material such as babbitt. But under the condition of heavy work, such as high sliding velocity and unit load on friction surface is larger, the wear-resisting performance and life of the sintering parts will reduce rapidly. In order to improve the antifriction performance of porous iron-based antifriction parts, reduce the friction coefficient, improve the working temperature to expand the scope of its use, adopt the method of vulcanization processing is a worth extending.

 

Most sulfur and sulfide has certain lubrication performance. Iron sulfide is a kind of good solid lubricant, especially under the condition of dry friction, the existence of iron sulfide, has the very good resistance to bite.

 

Powder metallurgy iron-based products, can use its wool stoma dipping quite a lot of sulfur, the heat can make the sulfur and iron iron sulfide generated on the surface of the pore, it evenly distributed in the products everywhere, on the friction surface has good lubrication, and can improve the machining performance. After vulcanization processing products, and its friction and cutting surface is very smooth.

 

Porous sintered iron after vulcanization process, was the most prominent role has the very good dry friction performance. Under the working conditions of oil free (i.e., not allowed to go or not go), is a satisfactory self-lubrication material, and has good resistance to bite, reduce on shaft. In addition, the material of the friction characteristics different from general anti-friction material. General materials with the increase of pressure, the coefficient of friction to change is not big, when pressure exceeds a certain value, friction coefficient has increased dramatically. And after vulcanization process of porous sintered iron, its friction coefficient over a wide range than the pressure with the increase of the pressure down instead. This is a valuable features of anti-friction material.

 

After vulcanization treatment of sintered iron base oil bearing, can work under 250 ℃ successfully.

 

(2) the vulcanization process

 

Vulcanization processing technology is simple, do not need special equipment, the process is:

 

Will sulfur into the crucible melting, heating temperature control during 120 ~ 130 ℃, the liquidity of sulfur is better, if the temperature is too high, is not conducive to dip. Will need to be impregnated sintered products to preheat to 100 ~ 150 ℃, then put the products into the liquid sulfur melting, dipping 3 ~ 20 minutes, without preheat products impregnation 25 ~ 30 minutes. Depending on the products, the density of wall thickness and the required in quantity to determine the dipping time. Low density, wall thickness of the dipping time is less; And vice versa. Take it out of the dip products, flow to the best of the rest of the sulfur. Finally, put varnished products charging, hydrogen protection, protection, also can use charcoal heating to 700 ~ 720 ℃ heat preservation 0.5 ~ 1 hour, at this point, the immersion of sulfur and iron iron sulfide. For the density of 6 ~ 6.2 g/cm 3 goods, amount of sulfur in about 35 ~ 4% (weight percentage). Heating roasting is in order to make the pore formation of iron sulfide sulfur into parts.

 

After vulcanization process of sintered products, can be oiled and finishing processing.

 

(3) the vulcanization processing application, for example

 

1, flour machine shaft sleeve The shaft sleeve is installed on both ends of two roll, a total of four sets. Roller pressure is 280 kg, speed is 700 ~ 1000 RPM (P = 10 kg/cm2, V = 2 m/s). Used in tin bronze sleeves, with oil lubrication. Now switch to the density of 5.8 g/cm 3, porous sintered iron instead of S content of 6.8%, can need not the original lubricating device, only need to add a few drops of oil before driving, continuous work 40 hours, bushing temperature 40 ℃ or so; Grinding flour 12000 kilograms, collar still work normally.

 

2, small rock drill collar Rock drill is an important tool for oil drilling, the drilling with a sliding shaft set at the top by pressure (pressure P = 500 KGF/cm2, speed V = 0.15 m/s), and have a strong vibration and impact.

 

Second, the baptism of powder metallurgy products oil processing

 

Powder metallurgy porous oiled anti-friction products is an important process, increases the corrosion resistance of powder metallurgy products, improve the wear resistance and prolong its service life. Oiled processing after sintered iron base oil bearing, lubricating oil into the products in the pore, namely when the axis of rotation, with the set of kinetic friction, heat production, make the bearing temperature rise, oil in thermal expansion, from the pore flow between shaft and shaft sleeve automatic oil supply, the formation of oil film lubrication anti-friction effect. Oiled also can prevent products by oxidation.

 

Oil immersion method can be divided into ordinary oiled, heating oil and vacuum oiled.

 

Normal oiled: put clean the sintering products in the oil (oil) for 20 ~ 30 commonly soak. Under the action of capillary force, oil in products into the pore to the products. This method, low efficiency of oiled, oil immersion time is long, need a few hours, used in the products of oil content is not high.

 

Heating oil bath: put clean sintered products in 80 ~ 120 ℃ in hot oil soak for 1 hour. Due to the products, heating the air inside the open pore expand, make part of the air be ruled out. After cooling, the rest of the air and contraction, put the oil into the pore. Because of the hot oil liquid, high lubricity, and thus can be more oil immersed into the products. The immersion method efficiency is higher than ordinary oil leaching rate.

 

Vacuum oiled: clean up of the sintering products in vacuum box, sealed fit to - 720 - mm Hg, then to vacuum box into the oil, and then heated to 80 ℃, 20 ~ 30 minutes. Due to the air pumped out the products open pore, the oil can be in 10 minutes into products. This method is high efficiency, high speed immersed.

 

Another kind of form, this method is to first put the vacuum the air in the cabinet with our products, and then pass into the chamber of the preheating of oil and products cover up, again through the chamber and atmosphere and oil into the products pore is faster.

 

Third, waxed

 

General porous powder metallurgy products have features, such as contact with air interface is larger, prone to corrosion phenomenon, especially coastal rainy areas, air humidity is big, products of corrosion is more serious. In some cases, not only the products surface from corrosion, even will be affected by the internal surface of open pore corrosion, seriously affect its performance, and even cause scrap.

 

In order to prevent and reduce the corrosion of ferrous products, also must be after the oiled surface coated wax, to isolate products contact with the outside world. Long-distance transportation in products or a long time to save (according to regulations, products within six months may not rust), does not rust.

 

Wax coating is powder metallurgy products, put the wax wax cylinder, heated to 60 ~ 80 ℃, the wax melts, will clean products into wax liquid, and immediately took out, namely in the products surface evenly coated with a layer of wax, cool rear can packaging.

 

La fluid is composed of paraffin and petroleum jelly, according to different season have different proportion. After add vaseline liquid wax is the purpose of dry fastness, from cracking. Vaseline can add less, when high temperatures are low can increase the ratio of vaseline appropriately. Use vaseline commonly 20%, 80% of paraffin.

 

Four, packaging

 

Appropriate packaging, is in order to protect the powder metallurgy products from damage, deterioration in the process of storage, transportation, is the last procedure in the production of powder metallurgy. If the packing is bad can lead to the loss of the final product, should say it's a pity.

 

Packing method is: after products coated wax, anti-rust paper, the several pieces of wrapped into a box, carton should be put on the certificate and operation instruction. Outside the box indicate the factory name and address, product name, model and quantity, product size and specifications. Cut not model products with different specifications and mixed by mistake. And then will be several boxes into a carton, box must be fitted around the moistureproof paper, weight must not exceed 50 kg per box. Outside the box should indicate the factory name and address, product name, model, specification and quantity. Should indicate the date of packing at the same time, the last labeled "handle with care, pay attention to moistureproof" tag.
