摘要:

High velocity compaction (HVC) process is a new method for producing higher density PM parts. In the paper water atomized pure iron powder with no any lubricant added was compacted by the technique. The relationships among the impact velocity, the green density, the stress wave and the bending strength were discussed. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and a computer controlled universal testing machine were used to study the morphologies and the bending strength of samples, respectively. The results show that with increasing impact velocity, the green density and the bending strength increase gradually. Furthermore, the maximum impact pressure increases gradually and the duration of stress wave prolongs slowly as the impact velocity rises up. The comprehensive effect between the pressure and the duration of stress wave leads to the green density increasing. In the study, the optimal impact velocity is 9.8 m/s, achieving the green density of 7.513 g/cm3 and the bending strength of 61 MPa.

Abstract:

A new method for producing higher density PM parts, high velocity compaction (HVC), was presented in the paper. Using water atomized pure iron powder without lubricant admixed as the staring material, ring samples were compacted by the technique. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and a computer controlled universal testing machine were used to investigate the morphologies and the mechanical properties of samples, respectively. The relationships among the impact velocity, the green density, the sintered density, the bending strength and the tensile strength were discussed. The results show that with increasing impact velocity, the green density and the bending strength increase gradually, so the sintered density does. In addition, the tensile strength of sintered material is improved continuously with the sintered density enhancing. In the study, the sintered density of 7.545~g/cm3 and the tensile strength of 190~MPa are achieved at the optimal impact velocity of 9.8 m/s.
