Advanced Cu-40mass%Zn alloys with a high tensile strength and excellent machinability have been developed via a powder metallurgy (P/M) process. They are environmentally benign because fine graphite particles are included instead of lead (Pb) to improve their machinability. The effect of the content and particle size of the graphite on the mechanical properties and machinability are investigated in this paper. When applying a conventional P/M process consisting of the cold compaction and hot extrusion to consolidate elementally premixed mixture of Cu-40mass%Zn and graphite powder, the addition of 1 mass% graphite particles with  m in diameter is suitable to obtain a high tensile strength and good machinability at the same time.

The Fe–Al–X(Cu, Ni, Ti) composites reinforced with graphite particles were fabricated employing the powder metallurgy process for slide bearing applications. In all samples, graphite particles of 6 wt.% were added. Elemental powders were mixed to specific compositions with a powder lubricant, and then the mixed powders were compacted at 500 MPa. The green compacts were heated to 450°C to remove the lubricant and sintered at 1200°C for 1 h. The sintering was conducted in vacuum. The sintering of binary Fe–Al –graphite system showed low density and growth in dimension. Complex addition of Cu , Ni and Ti improved the sinterability of green compacts due to occurrence of partial liquid phases. Hardness of sintered samples strongly depended on dimensional change during sintering. The samples of high hardness showed better wear resistance properties.

AbstractThe major challenges for conventional diffusion bonding of joining Ti alloy and Al alloy are the undesirable interfacial reaction, low matrixes and joint strength. To avoid the problem in diffusion bonding, a novel two-stage sintering powder metallurgy process is developed. In the present work, the interface characterization and joint performance of the bonds obtained by powder metallurgy bonding are investigated and are compared with the diffusion bonded Ti/Al joints obtained with the same and the optimized process parameters. The results show that no intermetallic compound is visible in the Ti/Al joint obtained by powder metallurgy bonding, while a new layer formed at the joint diffusion bonded with the same parameters. The maximum tensile strength of joint obtained by diffusion bonding is 58 MPa, while a higher tensile strength reaching 111 MPa for a bond made by powder metallurgy bonding. Brittle fractures occur at all the bonds. It is shown that the powder metallurgy bonding of Ti/Al is better than diffusion bonding. The results of this study should benefit the bonding quality.
