Inventor: TAVARES BRUCE ANTHONY
IPC: A61F2/00
Filed: 2004-02-24
Abstract: A powder metal mixture comprises a lubricant powder conventionally used to produce powder metal parts in combination with a modified lubricant. A  lubricant conventionally used to compact and sinter a chosen powder metal mixture is modified by adding to it starch particles smaller than the average metal particle, and optionally, micronized cellulose fibers in so small an amount that the modified lubricant is present in an amount less than 2% by weight of the mixture. The Hall apparent density and the Hall flow rate of a powder metal mixture made with the modified lubricant of starch or (starch +  fibers) remains within the ranges deemed desirable for production of compacted powder metal parts. Using the modified lubricant in lieu of the conventional lubricant increases green strength of a part made by compacting the mixture and improves dimensional conformance.

Patent CA-2581251-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HAYASHI KUNIO
IPC: B21D28/14
Filed: 2005-09-15
Abstract: L'invention concerne une pièce très résistante, dont la résistance à la fragilisation par hydrogène et la résistance après formage sous haute température sont excellentes. Elle concerne également un procédé pour la fabrication de celle-ci. Dans un four de réchauffage, avant le formage, l'atmosphère est réglée sur une fraction volumique d'hydrogène = 10 % et/ou un point de rosée = 30 °C. En conséquence, la quantité d'hydrogène qui pénètre dans une feuille d'acier pendant le chauffage est réduite. Après le formage, on réalise séquentiellement un durcissement par trempe en filière et un réusinage. Comme procédé de réusinage, on peut citer le cisaillement suivi d'un re-cisaillement, ou le formage par compression d'une partie au bord découpé ; le poinçonnage avec une lame de coupe ayant une partie dégradée où la largeur de la base de la lame diminue en continu ; le poinçonnage avec un outil ayant une lame incurvée avec une configuration saillante à l'extrémité de la partie de la lame de coupe, la lame incurvée ayant une partie d'épaulement de rayon de courbature donné et/ou d'angle donné ; le découpage par fusion, etc. En conséquence, la contrainte résiduelle de traction après le poinçonnage est réduite et la performance de résistance à la fragilisation par hydrogène est améliorée.
