Definitions
- the present invention relates to an alloy powder to be used for the production of sintered parts by powder metallurgy and also to a high-strength sintered alloy steel to be produced by heat treatment after sintering.
- Iron-based sintering materials are in general use for automotive parts and others. Recently, these parts are required to be lighter and stronger than before.
- a further attempt to increase the strength of sintering materials by increasing the amount of the alloying element has been made according to Japanese Patent Laid-open No. 231102/1986.
- a disadvantage of such high alloy steel (containing more than 7% of Ni) is that it is high in production cost and it has such high hardness after sintering that it does not permit sizing and cutting.
- An additional disadvantage is that it contains a large amount of residual austenite after sintering. This makes it necessary to perform special heat treatment such as sub-zero treatment if a high strength (in terms of tensile strength higher than 130 kgf/mm2) is to be obtained. This leads to a cost increase.
- the residual austenite decomposes with the lapse of time, causing the deformation of parts.
- Japanese Patent Publication No. 9649/1970 a low alloy steel powder which provides high-strength sintered bodies which undergo less dimensional changes during heat treatment performed after molding.
- This low alloy steel powder is obtained by heating a mixture of iron powder and compounds of Ni, Mo, and Cu, thereby attaching by diffusion the alloy components, crushing agglomerated particles, and annealing thus obtained particles.
- a disadvantage of this low alloy steel powder is that it contains 0.50-2.00 wt% of Cu, which segregates on the grain boundary, forming an ⁇ -Cu brittle layer, which aggravates the mechanical properties.
- One of the present inventors proposed a composition for composite alloy steel powder which is suitable in the case where the sintered body is used as such without any post heat-treatment. (See Japanese Patent Laid-open No. 89601/1988.)
- This alloy steel powder contains Ni and/or Cu and Mo, and the alloy composition imparts high hardness and dimensional stability to the sintered body. However, it does not affords any sintered body which has a tensile strength higher than 130 kgf/mm2.
- This alloy steel powder does not provide any sintered body which has a tensile strength higher than 130 kgf/mm2. This is because the sintered body does not undergo strain-induced transformation from austenite to martensite when it is pulled, and it does not have a high density due to insufficient compressibility.
- Sintered parts are given high internal toughness, high surface abrasion resistance, and high fatigue strength by carburizing quenching. Therefore, they exhibit their great practical value when used as high-strength parts such as gears. However, it is difficult to obtain high strength (in terms of tensile strength higher than 130 kgf/mm2) by the simple carburizing quenching of conventional sintered bodies.
- the heat treatment after sintering is becoming important more and more.
- the sintered body becomes so hard that it is difficult to correct its dimensions by machining or sizing.
- machining and sizing should be performed prior to heat treatment.
- the sintered body should have a low hardness (hence a low strength) before heat treatment and have a high hardness (hence a high strength) after heat treatment.
- the present invention realizes mutually contradictory technologies machining or sizing the sintered body easily before heat treatment and imparting high strength and high toughness to the sintered body after heat treatment.
- the present inventors carried out extensive studies on how to increase the strength and toughness of sintered bodies. As the result, it was found that the strength and toughness of sintered bodies are greatly affected by the composition of steel powder and the density of sintered bodies.
- the present inventors found that Mo is less liable than Ni to make the sintered body hard in the absence of carbon. Therefore, it is possible to increase the amount of Mo more freely than the amount of Ni without adverse effect on the machining and sizing of the sintered body before heat treatment. On the other hand, Mo contributes more than Ni to the increase of strength after carburizing. With this in mind, the present inventors expected that very good results would be obtained if the composition of the conventional Ni-Mo series composite alloy steel powders is modified such that the amount of Mo is much greater than the amount of Ni. (The composition includes the one in which Mo is replaced by W.)
- the present inventors carried out experiments as mentioned in the following to see how the strength and toughness of the sintered body are related with the composition and density of the sintered body.
- Fig. 1 is a graph showing the relation between the density and the tensile strength of the heat-treated sintered bodies of different compositions.
- Fig. 2 is a graph showing the relation between the density and the Charpy impact value of the same heat-treated sintered bodies as shown in Fig. 1.
- Fig. 3 is a graph showing the relation between the C content and the tensile strength of the heat-treated sintered bodies containing Ni and Mo in amounts within the limit specified in the present invention.
- Fig. 4 is a graph showing the relation between the C content and the Charpy impact value of the same heat-treated sintered bodies as shown in Fig. 3.
- the green compacts underwent sintering (at 1250°C for 30 minutes in an ammonia decomposition gas), followed by oil quenching (after heating at 870°C for 60 minutes in an inert gas) and tempering at 180°C for 60 minutes.
- the resulting sintered bodies have the tensile strength and Charpy impact value which vary according to the density as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. It is noted that the sintered bodies of compositions (X) and (Y) have a high tensile strength (higher than 130 kgf/mm2) and high toughness when the density is higher than 7.0 g/cm3. In addition, it is also noted that the tensile strength exceeds 150 kgf/mm2 when the density is higher than 7.3 g/cm3.
- the present invention was completed on the basis of the above-mentioned findings.
- the gist of the present invention resides in alloy steel powders for sintering as defined in claim 1 and in sintered alloyed steel products as claimed in present claims 2 and 3.
- composite alloy steel powder as used in the present invention means steel powder composed of iron powder particles and alloy elements (e.g., Ni, Mo, and W) attached by diffusion to part of the surface of the iron powder particles.
- alloy elements e.g., Ni, Mo, and W
- Mo as the basic alloy component may be partly or entirely replaced by twice as much (by weight) W as Mo.
- the reason why twice as much W as Mo is used is that W is one half as effective as Mo in changing the properties of the sintered steel.
- the composite alloy steel powder containing Ni and Mo in the above-specified amounts was incorporated with a different amount of graphite so that the final product contains 0.1 to 1.0 wt% of C and also with 1 wt% of zinc stearate as a lubricant.
- the resulting steel powder was molded and sintered, and the sintered body underwent oil quenching at 870°C for 30 minutes and tempering at 180°C for 60 minutes.
- the thus obtained heat-treated sintered steel was tested for tensile strength and Charpy impact. The results are shown in Figs. 3 and 4. It is noted that the high strength and high toughness are obtained when the C content is in the range of 0.3 to 0.8 wt%.
- C can be accomplished in different manners depending on the intended use of the finished parts.
- graphite powder is added to the alloy steel powder at the time of sintering, and in another instance, carburizing quenching is performed after sintering.
- the C content may vary along the cross-section of the part; but it is not always necessary that the C content should be in the above-mentioned range all over the cross-section. It is only necessary that the carburized part should contain as much C as specified.
- the alloy steel powder as the raw material should have a high compressibility.
- This requirement is met with the so-called composite alloy steel powder composed of iron powder particles and powders of Ni and Mo and/or W attached by diffusion to the surface of the iron powder particles.
- completely uniform pre-alloy steel powder is not adequate to make high-density sintered products because usually it has a low compressibility.
- the resulting sintered body does not have a sufficient strength because the alloy elements do not diffuse completely during sintering. Even in the case of composite alloy steel powder, the resulting sintered body lacks strength unless the diffusion alloying takes place completely.
- the degree of diffusion alloying is indicated by "the degree of diffusion segregation" as an index. It is expressed by the ratio of the content of Ni or Mo + 1 ⁇ 2W in the alloy steel powder of particle size smaller than 45 »m to the average content of Ni or Mo + 1 ⁇ 2W in the entire steel powder, respectively.
- the degree of diffusion segregation is higher than 4.2 for Ni or Mo + 1 ⁇ 2W, the resulting heat-treated sintered body has a low strength and compressibility.
- the degree of diffusion segregation is smaller than 2.0, the resulting heat-treated sintered body lacks sufficient compressibility and tensile strength because austenite does not change into martensite through the strain-induced transformation. Therefore, the degree of diffusion segregation should be in the range of 2.0 to 4.2. This is achieved by controlling the particle size of the iron powder and alloy components and also by controlling the heating temperatures.
- the composite alloy steel powder should be composed of 0.50-3.50 wt% of Ni, 0.65-3.50 wt% of Mo + 1 ⁇ 2W, and the remainder of Fe and inevitable impurities, according to the desired composition of the sintered body.
- the composite alloy steel powder should have such a particle size that the fraction of the powder having a particle size larger than 180 »m accounts for less than 10 wt%.
- the sintered body undergoes heat treatment so that the final product has a high strength.
- the sintered body undergoes carburizing quenching and tempering.
- the composite alloy steel powder is incorporated with graphite at the time of sintering and the sintered body undergoes ordinary quenching and tempering.
- the heat treatment forms the texture of tempered martensite which is responsible for high strength and high toughness.
- the quenching temperature should preferably be 800-930°C. With lower than 800°C, the quenching does not provide the uniform structure of austenite, and the final product lacks sufficient strength and toughness. With higher than 930°C, the quenching provides coarse austenite, and the final product lacks strength and toughness.
- the tempering temperature should preferably be 100-250°C. Tempering at temperatures lower than 100°C will not provide sufficient toughness. Tempering at temperatures higher than 250°C will not provide sufficient strength.
- the molding and sintering may be repeated more than once to increase the density. This may be accomplished by a recompression method which involves the steps of molding, sintering, and coining (sizing), or the steps of molding, preliminary sintering, coining (sizing), and final sintering.
- the composite alloy steel powder as the starting material was produced in the following manner.
- Atomized pure iron powder under 80 mesh

- molybdenum trioxide powder under 325 mesh

- the thus obtained sintered body was carburized with carbon potential of 0.8 wt% at 900°C for 6.5 hours, immediately followed by oil quenching, and tempered at 180°C for 120 minutes. Strength was measured using a tensile test piece having a parallel part 5 mm in diameter. The results are shown in Table 1. It is noted from Table 1 that the sintered bodies have a high strength so long as the degree of diffusion segregation is in the range of 2.0-4.2.
- the sintered bodies have a tensile strength higher than 130 kgf/mm2 so long as the Ni content is 0.50-3.50 wt% and the Mo content is 0.65-3.50 wt% and the degree of diffusion segregation is adequate.
