Definitions
- the present invention relates to an atomised, non-oxidising, alloyed metal powder based on iron enriched with carbide-bound carbon in the surface layer, and also to the use of the atomised, non-oxidising, alloyed metal powder.
- metal powders are produced by means of atomising, electrolysis or through chemical or oxide reduction. Powder is used in mixtures for producing alloy compositions that are bound metallurgically upon sintering. Metallic and non-metallic powders can be combined to produce composite material having special properties.
- the powder metallurgical composition most frequently used is iron powder, which is used in the manufacture of various structured parts. Iron powder is sometimes used alone or, which is more usual, together with various additives in order to improve the mechanical properties of compacted sintered products. Powder additives include carbon, copper, nickel and molybdenum.
- US, A, 5,522,914 reveals an alloyed metal powder composed of 0.80 to 3.00 per cent by weight carbon, 0.20 to 2.00 per cent by weight manganese, 0.20 to 1.50 per cent by weight silicon, as well as 3.0 to 12.0 per cent by weight chromium, 0.20 to 0.30 per cent by weight sulphur, up to 0.04 per cent by weight phosphorous, 0.25 to 10.0 per cent by weight vanadium, up to 11.0 per cent by weight molybdenum, up to 18.00 per cent by weight mercury, up to 10 per cent by weight cobalt and up to 0.10 per cent by weight nitrogen, besides the iron.
- the oxygen content in the powder is less than 0.025 per cent by weight.
- the powder is produced by atomisation in nitrogen gas atmosphere in order to achieve a low oxygen content.
- the problem in the production of metal powder is the oxygen content.
- hydrocarbon which is partially carbonised during the atomisation process.
- hydrocarbon is known through Swedish patent application 9601482- 4.
- the atomised steel powder obtained has acquired enriched carbide- bound carbon in the surface layer, and a low oxygen content.
- alloyed powder particles can be produced that include oxidation- sensitive alloying substances such as chromium, manganese, silicon.
- nitrogen gas atmosphere can be avoided since the atmosphere in the atomising equipment is saturated with vaporised or carbonised atomising medium.
- the present invention thus solves the problems of added oxygen and undesired nitrogen.
- the atomised, alloyed metal powder according to the invention is non-oxidising as well as preventing oxidation. It has improved powder-metallurgical properties such as strength and toughness.
- the carbide-bound carbon in the surface layer of the powder particles is enriched.
- the non-oxidising, alloyed metal powder in accordance with the invention comprises oxidation-sensitive alloying metals such as chromium, manganese and/ or silicon, besides iron and carbide-bound carbon. These alloying metals are also capable of carbide-binding carbon.
- Atomising medium used in the producion of the non-oxidising alloyed metal powder consists of hydrocarbons selected from the group comprising paraffin, diesel oils, or other cyclic or acyclic hydrocarbons that have been partially carbonised during the atomisation. Hydrogen gas is formed during the carbonisation of the hydrocarbons, as well as the carbides that are bound to the metals in the powder particles.
- the atmosphere in the atomising vessel is saturated with vaporised or carbonised atomising medium consisting of hydrocarbons and hydrogen gas. The atmosphere is thus reducing, thereby protecting the powder particles produced.
- the alloyed metal powder may also include other alloying substances such as vanadium, molybdenum, tungsten, aluminium, copper, nickel, titanium.
- a preferred embodiment of the invention constitutes atomised, alloyed, non-oxidising metal powder based on iron with enriched carbide-bound carbon in the surface layer, that has been carbide-bound to the metal in the powder particles by carbonised atomising medium selected from the group comprising paraffin, diesel oils, or other cyclic or acyclic hydrocarbons during the atomising, wherein, besides iron and the carbide-bound carbon, the alloyed powder particles comprise one or more of the following alloying substances: 0.1 to 16 % by weight chromium, preferably 0.5 to 12 % by weight, 0.1 to 12 % by weight manganese, preferably 0.5 to 10 % by weight, or 0.1 to 5.0 % by weight silicon, preferably 0.5 to 4.5 % by weight, wherein the carbon content is 0.02 to 3.0 % by weight of the total contents in the metal powder, and wherein the oxygen content is less than 200 ppm.
- Another preferred embodiment of the invention comprises the addition of extra alloying substances to said alloyed non-oxidising metal powder mentioned above.
- extra alloying substances may be, for example, vanadium, molybdenum, tungsten, aluminium, copper, nickel, titanium.
- Preferred contents of the extra alloying substances are within the range 0.1 to 5.0 % by weight.
- the size distribution in the powder particles is mainly 10 to 350 ⁇ m, preferably 45 to 200 ⁇ m.
- Producing the atomised, alloyed, non-oxidising metal powder, based on iron with enriched carbide-bound carbon in the surface layer enables the manufacture of compacted sintered products such as toothed wheels, ball-bearings and tool steel. These products require high mechanical strength and toughness, and these properties are achieved since the alloying additives increase tempering quality and strength.
- the products are manufactured by means of conventional powder metallurgical compressing, hot compacting and sintering, hot isostatic pressing and sinter forging.
- the metal powder produced is non-oxidising and prevents oxidation it can be mixed with other powder produced from oxidation- sensitive metals. This enables the manufacture of composite material having completely new qualities.
- the present invention thus also relates to the use of the atomised, alloyed, non-oxidising metal powder as claimed in any of claims 1 to 6 for the manufacture of compressed, sintered products, such as toothed wheels, ball-bearings, tool steel, manufactured by means of conventional powder-metallurgical compression, hot compacting and sintering, hot isostatic compacting and sinter forging.
- Alloyed metal powder of type US32CrMn was produced, with the difference that the powder produced has metal carbide in the surface layer.
- the powder comprises 0.9 to 1.2 per cent by weight chromium,
- Alloyed metal powder of "Case Hardening Steel” type was produced with metal carbides in the surface layer.
- the powder comprises 0.8 to 1.3 per cent by weight chromium and 1.1 per cent by weight manganese.
- An alloyed metal powder with metal carbides in the surface layer was produced having 8.0 to 10 per cent by weight chromium, 8.0 to 10 per cent by weight manganese, 0.8 to 1.2 per cent by weight carbon and the remainder iron.
- the powder produced is spherical and has a size distribution of between 45 and 200 ⁇ m.
