Introduction: Powder metallurgy is used for manufacturing
products or articles from powdered metals by placing these powders in molds and are compacting the same using heavy compressive force. Typical examples of such article or products are grinding wheels, filament wire, magnets, welding rods, tungsten carbide cutting tools, self-lubricating bearings electrical contacts and turbines blades having high temperature strength. The manufacture of parts by powder metallurgy process involves the manufacture of powders, blending, compacting, profiteering, sintering and a number of secondary operations such as sizing, coining, machining, impregnation, infiltration, plating, and heat treatment.

Blending
• Five types of powders• Tungsten carbide, titanium carbide, cobalt,
tantalum carbide, niobium carbide• One or combination blended in different
proportions depending on grade desired• Powder mixed in alcohol (24 to 190 h)• Alcohol drained off• Paraffin added to simplify pressing operation

Compaction
• Must be molded to shape and size• Five different methods to
compact powder• Extrusion process• Hot press• Isostatic press• Ingot press• Pill press
• Green (pressed) compacts soft, must be presintered to dissolve paraffin 6

Presintering
• Green compacts heated to about 1500º F in furnace under protective atmosphere of hydrogen• Carbide blanks have consistency of chalk• May be machined to required shape• 40% oversize to allow for shrinkage that
occurs during final sintering

Sintering
• Last step in process• Converts presintered machine blanks into
cemented carbide• Carried out in either hydrogen atmosphere or
vacuum• Temperatures between 2550º and 2730º F
• Binder (cobalt) unites and cements carbide powders into dense structure of extremely hard carbide crystals

Carbides: Inserts• Available in a variety of shapes: square, triangle,
diamond and round• The smaller the included angle, the lower the
strength of the edge

Diamond :
• Hardest known substance • Low friction, high wear resistance• Ability to maintain sharp cutting edge• Single crystal diamond of various carats used for
special applications• Diamond is brittle , tool shape & sharpened is
important• Low rake angle used for string cutting edge

Electro-Plated Diamond Tools
• Process• Polycrystalline Diamond coated with copper or
nickel metal• Copper or nickel mixture electroplated to a
metallic form• Electroplated form then dressed to remove a
small amount of metal to expose PCD within• Form tools can be de-plated and re-plated
multiple times20

Diamond-Coated Tools
• Early 1980s brought new process of chemical vapor deposition (CVD)• Produce diamond coating few microns thick
• Process• Elemental hydrogen dissolved in hydrocarbon
gas around 1330º• Mixture contacts cooler metal, carbon
precipitates in pure crystalline form and coats metal with diamond film (slow 1-5 microns/hr)

QQC
• Process developed by Pravin Mistry in mid 1990s• Eliminated problems of adhesion, adjusting to
various substrates, coating thickness and cost• Process creates diamond film through use of
laser energy and carbon dioxide as source of carbon
22
![Page 23: “Applications Of Powder Metallurgy In Reference with Cutting tools”](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061609/55c419b4bb61eb23468b462c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
QQC Process
• Laser energy directed at substrate to mobilize, vaporize and react with primary element (Carbone) to change crystalline structure of substrate• Conversion zone created
beneath substrate surface• Changes metallurgically
to composition of diamond coating on surface
• Diffusion bonding of diamond coating to substrate
23

Major Advantage of the QQC Process
• Superior bonding and reduced stress form metallurgical bond between diamond and substrate• Diamond-coating process can be carried out in
atmosphere (no vacuum needed)• Parts do not require pretreatment or preheating
to be coated

More Advantages
• Only carbon dioxide primary or secondary source for carbon; nitrogen acts as shield• Diamond deposition rates exceed 1 micron per
second• Process can be used for wide variety of materials• Tool life up to 60 times better than tungsten
carbide and 240 times better than high-speed steel
