Abstract

In the present invention, a die for compressing and sizing a sintered body (1) with straight parts (11, 21) is provided with upper part-side tapered parts (15, 25) at a die upper part (13) and a core rod upper part (23), and is provided with the straight parts (11, 21) at a die lower part (14) and a core rod lower part (24). The material of the die upper part (13) and the core rod upper part (23) has a higher Young's modulus than the material of the die lower part (14) and the core rod lower part (24). The die upper part (13) and the core rod upper part (23) are formed of a material having a Young's modulus that is higher than that of the sintered body (1) by at least 50 GPa. As a result, the sintered body (1) can be densified with a small drawing margin (S). In addition, by performing the drawing without compression at the tapered parts that are parts of the die upper part (13) and the core rod upper part (23) and are formed of a material having a high Young's modulus, damage to the die can be prevented and wear of the die caused by drawing can be suppressed.

Abstract

A Cu-based sintered sliding member that can be used under high-load conditions. The sliding member is age-hardened, including 5 to 30 mass % Ni, 5 to 20 mass % Sn, 0.1 to 1.2 mass % P, and the rest including Cu and unavoidable impurities. In the sliding member, an alloy phase containing higher concentrations of Ni, P and Sn than their average concentrations in the whole part of the sliding member, is allowed to be present in a grain boundary of a metallic texture, thereby achieving excellent wear resistance. Hence, without needing expensive hard particles, there can be obtained, at low cost, a Cu-based sintered sliding member usable under high-load conditions. Even more excellent wear resistance is achieved by containing 0.3 to 10 mass % of at least one solid lubricant selected from among graphite, graphite fluoride, molybdenum disulfide, tungsten disulfide, boron nitride, calcium fluoride, talc and magnesium silicate mineral powders.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a bearing for a motor-type fuel pump that has corrosion resistance against poor-quality gasoline that includes sulfur or organic acids, that, because of resistance to wear and outstanding conformability with a coupled shaft, can be used favorably even in compact fuel pumps, and that is made of a novel Zn-P-Ni-Sn-C-Cu-based sintered alloy. The bearing is characterized by having a structure in which contained are, by weight, 3-13% Zn, 0.1-0.9% P, 10-21% Ni, 3-12% Sn, and 1-8% C, with the remainder consisting of Cu and unavoidable impurities, in which an Sn alloy phase that comprises at least 15% Sn by weight is formed on grain boundaries of a base comprising a solid solution phase of a Zn-Ni-Sn-Cu alloy, and in which the porosity is 8-18%, and free graphite is distributed in the pores.

Abstract

Provided are a composite soft magnetic material, having favorable DC bias characteristics and high specific resistance, and a production method therefor. An inorganic insulative powder (3) and a coated powder obtained by coating a soft magnetic powder (1) that is coated with an insulative film (4) with a silicone resin (2) are uniformly mixed, and the resultant mixture is molded and fired. By uniformly mixing the inorganic insulative powder (3) and the coated powder obtained by coating the soft magnetic powder that is coated with the insulative film (4) with the silicone resin (2), rupture of the insulative film due to the inorganic insulative material when molding pressed powder is prevented. By uniformly dispersing the inorganic insulative material while high specific resistance is maintained, the gap between molded soft magnetic powder particles is uniformly maintained. As a result, a composite soft magnetic material is provided having high specific resistance and favorable DC bias characteristics.

A bearing which is the sliding part is formed by filling the raw powder into the filling portion of the forming mold, compacting the raw powder to form a powder compact, which is sintered. A copper-based raw powder is composed of a copper-based flat raw powder whose diameter is smaller than that of an iron-based raw powder and an aspect ratio larger than that of the iron-based raw powder, and a copper-based small-sized raw powder whose diameter is smaller than that of the copper-based flat raw powder. The copper is allowed to segregate at the surface of the sliding part. The surface of the bearing is covered with the copper-based small-sized raw powder and the copper-based flat raw powder, thereby the surface coverage ratio of copper can be increased.

Abstract

Provided is a copper-based sintered sliding member that can be used in high-load usage environments. The provided copper-based sintered member, which is age-hardened, comprises 5-30% nickel, 5-20% tin, and 0.1-1.2% phosphorus by mass, with the remainder comprising copper and unavoidable impurities. Abrasion resistance is excellent due to the existence of an alloy phase, at grain boundaries, having higher nickel, phosphorus, and tin concentrations than the mean nickel, phosphorus, and tin concentrations across the entire sintered alloy. This results in reduced cost, as expensive hard particles are not needed, and allows a copper-based sintered sliding member that can be used in high-load usage environments. Even better abrasion resistance can be obtained by including 0.3-10% by mass of at least one of the following solid lubricants: graphite, graphite fluoride, molybdenum disulfide, tungsten disulfide, boron nitride, calcium fluoride, talc, and magnesium silicate mineral powder.

Abstract

A surface treatment layer 11 is formed on a surface 10 of a through-hole 1 so that the surface 10 has an angle X of contact with solution L which is smaller than an angle Y of contact of a die 2 per se with the solution L. When the solution L is applied, the wetting action of the solution L relative to the through-hole 1 is improved so that the solution L can be extended over the surface treatment layer 11, eventually over the entire surface of the through-hole 1. Consequently, the entire surface thereof can be formed with a crystallized layer by performing water evaporation. As a result, molding at higher temperature can be realized, and high-density compacts can be stably obtained. Further, the solution L in which the lubricant is dissolved in a solvent into a homogeneous phase, is applied to a molding portion 1A, and then evaporated to thereby form crystals thereon, thus forming the crystallized layer.
