Abstract

The purpose of this study is to manufacture blanks from the charge obtained by the method of electroerosion dispersion, lead-antimony alloy - SSu3, under certain pressing and sintering parameters, to determine the effect of pressure on the density of the final blanks, as well as to find shrinkage dependencies during the sintering operation. Methods. To perform this study, a charge of lead-antimony alloy - SSu3, obtained by the method of electroerosive dispersion, was required. The pressing process was carried out in a mold specially designed for this study on a NORDBERG N3612 hydraulic floor press in two modes under load - 2.5 and 5 t. respectively, the holding time under pressure in both cases was 10 minutes. Sintering was carried out in a graphite crucible, which was placed in an oven for heating the molds EKPS - 10, where a constant temperature of 296 degrees is maintained for 120 minutes. Results. Experimentally, it was found that when the force is doubled, the density of the workpiece increases by 2%, which is due to a closer interaction between metal particles. It is noted that in order to create products with greater porosity, it is necessary to reduce the pressure during pressing, and to create products with greater hardness, more pressure is needed. The difference in the color of the workpieces is due to the degree of oxidation of the charge with oxygen during the cooling of the briquettes after pressing, the compounds of the alloy elements change during its oxidation with oxygen, oxides and lead peroxides are formed, which in turn affect the chemical properties of the alloy. Gray color has a low content of oxygen oxides, and brown, up to orange, is characterized by a high content of lead peroxides. Conclusion. The obtained results can be used for further study and improvement of the composition and structure of the alloy, as well as for the selection of optimal modes of pressing and sintering in further studies.
