Research on Effect of Powder Particle Size on Quality Performance of MIM Small Module Gears
When using the process of metal powder injection molding (MIM) to prepare small module gears
in order to improve the quality and performance of the sintered parts of the gear
powder with different particle sizes is prepared. The sintering performance of the gear is analyzed by the melt flow meter
the porosity measurement software
the 2.5-dimensional image measuring instrument and the micro-Vickers hardness tester. The influence mechanism of particle sizes on the surface quality
porosity and shrinkage of gears is studied. The results show that due to the poor powder flow performance of the gear made of 5.0 μm powder
the powder concentration distribution is not uniform after sintering
there are black lines on the surface
and the dimensional shrinkage is not uniform
which affect the dimensional accuracy. Due to the poor sintering neck formation ability and slow diffusion process of the gear made of 9.0 μm powder
the porosity after sintering is high and the pore size is large. When the 7.0 μm powder is used to prepare the gear
the quality performance of the gear is the best. The gear has no surface defects
the porosity is reduced to 2.9%
the Vickers hardness value reaches 355
the shrinkage uniformity is high
the dimensional accuracy is high
and the accuracy of thetested items are better than class 7 according to the national standard GB 2363—1990.
