Abstract
The influence of initial porosity and MoS2 content of pressed Cu + 9Sn + 1.5P + (5, 10, 15%) MoS2 powder samples on their growth during sintering in hydrogen at 780°C is studied. The growth of samples with the same MoS2 content decreases with higher initial porosity and the growth of samples of the same size and same porosity after pressing increases with greater MoS2 content. Water vapors generated during the hydrogen reduction of oxides present on the starting tin powder and phosphorous-copper alloy powder cause swelling of the samples. Moreover, phase transformations in the material during sintering can increase the samples as new phases are formed (copper sulfide Cu2S) with a larger crystal lattice that that of the matrix and molybdenum disulfide.
