Iron based sintered sliding member and method for producing same
View Patent ↗An iron-based sintered sliding member is provided in which solid lubricating agent is dispersed uniformly inside of powder particles in addition to inside of pores and particle interfaces of the powder, the agent is strongly fixed, and sliding properties and mechanical strength are superior. The iron-based sintered sliding member contains S: 0.2 to 3.24 mass %, Cu: 3 to 10 mass %, remainder: Fe and inevitable impurities, as an overall composition; the metallic structure includes a base in which sulfide particles are dispersed, and pores; the base is a ferrite phase or a ferrite phase in which copper phase is dispersed; and the sulfide particles are dispersed at a ratio of 0.8 to 15.0 vol % versus the base.
1. An iron-based sintered sliding member consisting of:
S: 0.2 to 3.42 mass %,
Cu: 3 to 10 mass %, and
remainder: Fe and inevitable impurities, as an overall composition,
wherein a metallic structure comprises a base in which sulfide particles including iron sulfide as a main component are segregated in the base and dispersed within grains and grain boundaries, and pores, and
wherein the base is a ferrite phase or a ferrite phase in which a copper phase is dispersed.
2. The iron-based sintered sliding member according to claim 1 , wherein the impurities contain Mn: 0.02 to 1.2 mass %.
3. The iron-based sintered sliding member according to claim 1 , wherein a total area of the sulfide particles having 10 μm or more of particle diameter in a circle-equivalent diameter accounts for 30% or more of a total area of the entirety of the sulfide particles.
4. The iron-based sintered sliding member according to claim 1 , wherein the sliding member has a friction coefficient of 0.7 or less and a radial crushing strength of 350 MPa or more.
5. An iron-based sintered sliding member consisting of:
S: 0.2 to 3.42 mass %,
Cu: 3 to 10 mass %,
at least one of Ni and Mo, at more than 0 mass % and 10 mass % or less, each, and
remainder: Fe and inevitable impurities, as an overall composition,
wherein a metallic structure comprises a base in which sulfide particles including iron sulfide as a main component are segregated in the base and dispersed within grains and grain boundaries, and pores, and
wherein the base is a ferrite phase or a ferrite phase in which a copper phase is dispersed.
