Abstract

In this study, iron based powder metal (PM) compacts
are sintered by two different sintering methods. One of the sintering method is
conventional sintering, 2kW atmosphere controlled oven is used in the sintering
application. TM compacts are sintered at 1120 ° C for 30 minutes.  In the study other used sintering method is
induction. PM compacts are sintered at 6 different temperature from 1000 °C to 1200 ° C for 5 minutes using a 900 kHz ultra-high
frequency induction system (UHFIS) with a power of 2.8 kW. Hardness, density
and microstructure images of PM compacts are examined and compared each other.
When the obtained results are evaluated, 30 minutes conventional sintered PM
compacts test results’ are reached at 1120 °C using by UHFIS. Thus, iron-based PM compacts are sintered in 6 times
less dwell time while using the induction system.

DEMİR ESASLI TOZ METAL MALZEMELERİN ULTRA-YÜKSEK FREKANSLI İNDÜKSİYON SİSTEMİ İLE SİNTERLEME SICAKLIĞI OPTİMİZASYONU

Abstract

Yapılan
çalışmada, demir esaslı toz metal (TM) malzemeler iki farklı metot kullanılarak
sinterlenmiştir.  TM numunelerin bir
kısmı 2kW güce sahip atmosfer kontrollü fırında, 1120 °C sıcaklıkta ve 30
dakika sürede geleneksel yöntemle sinterlenmiştir.  Çalışmada kullanılan diğer TM numunelerde 2.8kW
güce sahip 900kHz’lik ultra yüksek frekanslı indüksiyon sistemi (UYFİS)
kullanılarak, 1000 °C -1200 °C sıcaklıkları arasında 6 farklı sıcaklıkta 5
dakika sürelerde sinterlenmiştir. TM numunelerin sertlik, yoğunluk ve mikro
yapı görüntüleri incelenmiş ve kendi aralarında karşılaştırılmıştır. Elde
edilen sonuçlar değerlendirildiğinde konvansiyonel sinterleme metot ile 30
dakikada elde edilen değerlere UYFIS kullanılarak 1120 °C sıcaklıkta ulaşılmıştır.
Böylece demir esaslı TM numuneler indüksiyon sistemi kullanılarak
sinterlendiğinde 6 kat daha kısa sürede elde edildiği görülmüştür.
