Although the development of P / M industry
one of the goals is relieving machine and process of P to a main attraction is
only a small amount of processing is needed, but many parts still need
processing accuracy and better surface finish. Unfortunately the processing of
these parts is extremely difficult. Most of the trouble encountered is caused
by the porous.
Porous lead to micro fatigue of blade. Cut
out the cutting edge of the cut, it is passed between particles and holes. The
impact caused by the repeated small cracks on the cutting edge of the. The
fatigue crack growth until the cutting edge chipping. This is usually very
small micro chipping, abrasive wear is usually normal.
Also reduce the thermal conductivity of P/M
porous parts. The result is on the cutting edge of a high temperature and can
cause crater wear and deformation. Path connected to the internal porous
structure provides cutting fluid discharged from the cutting area. This will
cause thermal cracks or deformation, especially important in drilling.
The surface area of the porous structure
caused by inner increase also allows oxidation and / or carbonation occurred
during heat treatment. As previously mentioned, the oxide and carbide hard
wear.
This is extremely important porous
structure is also given failure parts hardness readings. When one intends to
measure the macro hardness of P/M parts, which includes hole hardness factor.
The porous structure leads to the collapse of the structure, the relatively
soft parts of the wrong impression. A lot of hard particles to the individual.
As described above, the difference is dramatic.
In the powder metallurgy parts of
inclusions is negative. In the process, the particles are pulled from the
surface when it is rubbed out of the cutting tool and can form a scratch or
scratch on the surface of the part. These inclusions are usually large, leaving
visible holes on the surface of the part.
The carbon content of the mixed lead to
inconsistent workability. For example, the carbon content of FC0208 alloy is
between 0.6% and 0.9%. A batch of 0.9% of the material with carbon content is
relatively hard, resulting in poor tool life, while the other batch of carbon
content of 0.6% of the material has excellent tool life.Two kinds of alloys are
within the allowable range.
The final machining problem is related to
the type of cutting which occurs on the P/M part. As the parts are close to the
final shape, the cutting depth is very shallow. This requires free cutting
edge. The built-up edge of the cutting edge often leads to micro collapse.
