TL;DR: The first suggestion that the porous products of powder metallurgy could be used as self-lubricating bearings appears to have been made sometime in the early 1920s as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: The first suggestion that the porous products of powder metallurgy could be used as self-lubricating bearings appears to have been made sometime in the early 1920s. The idea probably originated from attempts to overcome the heat conductivity limitation of oil-soaked wooden bearings. Fortunately, the conventional bearing bronze compositions could be produced by sintering and pressing the copper and tin powders which were then available, and called for nothing spectacular in the way of presses, sintering atmospheres, or furnace equipment. Although these early products were capable of only a fraction of the duty to which porous metal bearings are subjected today, their rapid development was possible because the techniques and principles involved in their manufacture were already available from other applications of powder metallurgy. The current (1964) world production of porous metal bearings is estimated to be about eight millions per day, and is still expanding.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors make a distinction between this pressure-uniformity aspect of isostatic compaction and other methods of compacting metal powders (die-compaction, roll compaction, cyclic compaction), and the distinction arises not only from the different modes of application of pressure but also from the absence of tool/powder friction.
Abstract: The term isostatic compaction is applied to methods of compacting powders in which a uniform pressure is applied simultaneously to all the external surfaces of a powder body. This is usually achieved, as shown schematically in Fig. 1, by sealing the powder in a flexible envelope and immersing the assembly in a fluid that can be pressurised in some manner. Variations of the process have been developed, where it is questionable if the pressure is applied with true uniformity to all surfaces, but there is nevertheless a clear distinction between this pressure-uniformity aspect of isostatic compaction and other methods of compacting metal powders (die-compaction, roll-compaction, cyclic compaction, &c.). The distinction arises not only from the different modes of application of pressure but also from the absence in the isostatic methods of tool/powder friction. Arising from this greater pressure uniformity are a number of technical advantages that constitute the main reasons for the application of iso...

TL;DR: The initial permeability of high-permeability alloy sheet rolled from sintered compacts is substantially increased by sintering for times longer than are currently used.
Abstract: The initial permeability of high-permeability alloy sheet rolled from sintered compacts is substantially increased by sintering for times longer than are currently used. Complete alloying of copper does not take place in a compact using a conventional sintering time; sheet rolled from such a compact has a banded microstructure so that the material is slightly inhomogeneous. An upper limit to the initial permeability of such sheet is probably set by internal strains caused by local variations in the lattice parameter.

TL;DR: Burgeressnorton et al. as mentioned in this paper describe a powder mixture comprising a major proportion of Fe powder or a powder which thermally decomposes to form Fe, 9-20% Ni and/or Mn powder, 2-14A6% of at least one of Mo, Co, V, Nb, W, Zr, Hf and Ti or their decomposable compounds.
Abstract: 1,174,776. Powder metallurgy. BURGESSNORTON MFG. CO. Nov.14, 1966, No.51017/66. Heading C7D. An Fe based age hardening alloy is made by compacting and sintering a powder mixture comprising a major proportion of Fe powder or a powder which thermally decomposes to form Fe, 9-20% Ni and/or Mn powder or a compound which decomposes to form Ni and Mn, 2-14A6% of at least one of Mo, Co, V, Nb, W, Zr, Hf and Ti or their decomposable compounds, the maximum Co content not exceeding 9%, and immediately after sintering or in a subsequent stage cooling the mass from a temperature above 1300‹F. at a rate not exceeding 4000‹F. per hour to produce a martensitic phase. Up to 7% Cu may also be added to the mixture and the oxides or halides may be used in place of the metal powders which are then formed in situ by reduction in H 2 . Sintering is effected at 2100‹F. in a non-oxidizing atmosphere such as H 2 , cracked NH 3 , N 2 , argon or a vacuum and age hardening is carried out at 600‹ -1000‹F. for 1-6 hours in air, a non-oxidizing atmosphere or under a layer of Fe powder. If the solution treatment is separated from the sintering step it is effected at 1400‹ -2100‹F. The sintered mass may be repressed and resintered prior to heat treatment. The Ti may be added as the hydride and the mixed powders may be sintered as such or initially pre-alloyed by melting and granulating and then annealing at 1800‹F. alternatively when the oxides and/or halides are used they may be thermally decomposed in an electric arc plasma.

TL;DR: In this paper, a method of analyzing initial sintering data which is insensitive to uncertainties in the time zero and initial compact length is reviewed, and it is found that compacts which deviated from the ideal compact (uniformly sized spheres heated instantaneously to the sinting temperature) followed the shrinkage models after some small amount of abnormally rapid shrinkage, resulting in an effective initial length and time zero which were different from the experimental values.
Abstract: A method of analyzing initial sintering data which is insensitive to uncertainties in the time zero and initial compact length is reviewed. This method permits a considerably more reliable determination of the mechanisms of material transport in the sintering process than the usual log shrinkage-log time plots. One may with confidence distinguish among volume diffusion, grain boundary diffusion, or both acting concurrently. Contributions of surface diffusion and evaporation-condensation to total mass transport are discernible. This technique was applied to isothermal shrinkage data of compacts of alumina prepared from several different powders. It was found that compacts which deviated from the ideal compact (uniformly sized spheres heated instantaneously to the sintering temperature) followed the shrinkage models after some small amount of abnormally rapid shrinkage, resulting in an effective initial length and time zero which were different from the experimental values. While these differences were small, they had a large effect on the log shrinkage-log time plot. Alumina apparently sinters by a grain boundary diffusion mechanism, with surface diffusion important at lower temperatures.

TL;DR: A sintered dispersion strengthened metal part is made by compacting a powder of the metal containing up to 4% by volume of an inert phase such as an oxide, sintering the compact and repressing the compact in a fixed die with one or more moving punches to a density of at least 97% theoretical.
Abstract: 1,158,872. Powder metallurgy. ASSOCIATED ELECTRICAL INDUSTRIES Ltd. Feb. 27, 1967 [March 7, 1966], No.9769/66. Heading C7D. A sintered dispersion strengthened metal part is made by compacting a powder of the metal containing up to 4% by volume of an inert phase such as an oxide, sintering the compact and repressing the compact in a fixed die with one or more moving punches to a density of at least 97% theoretical. The inert phase is preferably formed by internal oxidation of a solute metal such as Al, Si, Mg, Be in a solvent metal such as Cu, Ni or Ag. In the case of a Cu-Al alloy containing up to 1% Al, the alloy powder is heated in oxygen at 300‹ C. and then in argon to 700‹ C. to form a dispersed Al 2 O 3 phase. The powder is compacted to 60-80% density e.g. by isostatic compaction, presintered in hydrogen and sintered in a reducing or inert atmosphere at 1000‹C. The repressing may be a hot pressing at 60 tons/sq. inch and 700‹ C. The following alloy compositions are given Cu - 0A5 v / o Al 2 O; Cu - 1A0 v / o Al 2 O 3 ; Cu - 2A0 v / o Al 2 O 3 ; Cu - 4A0 v / o Al 2 O 3 ; Cu - 0A1 w / o Ag - 2A0 v / o Al 2 O 3 Cu - 0A25 w / o Ag - 1 v / o Al 2 O 3 .

TL;DR: In this paper, the properties and structure of fuel samples prepared by compacting various mixtures of powdered material followed by heating were investigated, and it was found that the resulting compacts those consisting of purified and milled natural graphite powder, metallic thorium powder and furfuryl alcohol as binder showed the best properties after heating to 600°C.
Abstract: With the aim of finding the most desirable set of conditions for powder metallurgical preparation of graphite matrix fuels containing thorium carbide, the properties and structure of fuel samples prepared by compacting various mixtures of powdered material followed by heating were investigated. It was found that of the resulting compacts those consisting of (1) purified and milled natural graphite powder, (2) metallic thorium powder and (3) furfuryl alcohol as binder showed the best properties after heating to 600°C. These compacts possessed 1.90–2.40 g/cc density, 3.5–10.0 kg/mm2 Vickers hardness, a thermal expansion coefficient at 900°C of about 14×10−6/°C in the direction parallel to, and 2.5times;10−6/°C normal to pressing direction, and a thermal conductivity, in the same temperature range, of 0.02 (parallel) and 0.07cal/cm-sec°C (normal). Since these favorable properties and structural features are not impaired by heating to about 2,000°C subsequent to treatment at 600°C, it can be said that a new, ...
