The alloying of powder steels, unlike cast steels, has a number of characteristic features due to the specifics of their preparation. The method of introducing the alloying component into the charge has a significant effect on the compactability, compressibility, structure and properties of sintered alloy steels. Problem Statement. Existing alloying methods often do not provide a uniform distribution of alloying elements over the volume of the powder mixture, which leads to uneven density and a decrease in the strength properties of sintered steel. Purpose. The purpose of research is to improve the technological properties of powder mixtures by using the most effective method for alloying sintered steels with copper Materials and Methods. As initial materials, we used sprayed iron powders of the ПЖР 3.200.28 grade (GOST-9849-86) and steel powder 70, which have low formability and green strength. A copper coating on iron powder particles was obtained by internal electrolysis (chemical cementation) in an acidic aqueous solution of copper sulfate with the addition of ferrous sulfate (II). Mechanosynthesis was carried out in a planetary ball mill. The technological properties of the powders were determined by standard methods: flowability ISO 4490, bulk density ISO 3923, compressibility ISO 3927, green strength ISO3995. Results. The research has been done in regard to the set of technological and physical properties of powder materials, as well as the mechanical characteristics and the structure of sintered construction materials obtained through the use of various technological methods of alloying with copper and carbon: mechanical mixing, mechanosynthesis and copperizing (chemical cementation). A comparative analysis the properties of the materials obtained has been carried out and the optimal alloying method has been determined. It has been established that powder materials alloyed using the chemical cementation method have the highest level of technological and mechanical characteristics. Conclusion. Chemical cementation alloying method can be recommended for the industrial production of sintered construction copper steels, since the use of it provides a high level of mechanical properties of the material and makes economic sense. Вступ. Легування порошкових сталей, на відміну від литих, має ряд характерних особливостей, зумовлених специфікою їх отримання. Спосіб введення легуючого компоненту у шихту впливає суттєво на її формованість, пресованість, структуру та властивості спечених легованих сталей. Проблематика. Методи легування, що існують, часто не забезпечують рівномірного розподілу легуючих елементів по всьому об’ємі порошкової шихти, що призводить до нерівномірної щільності та, відповідно, до зниження міцності спеченої сталі. Мета. Підвищення технологічних властивостей спечених сталей шляхом легування залізного порошку міддю, а саме механічного синтезу, механічного змішування та оміднення. Матеріали й методи. Вихідними матеріалами слугували розпилені порошки заліза марки ПЖР 3.200.28 (ГОС Т 9849-86) і порошок сталі 70, які мають низькі показники формованості та міцності неспеченої пресовки. Мідне покриття на частинках залізного порошку отримували методом внутрішнього електролізу (хімічної цементації) в кислому водному розчині сірчанокислої міді з додаванням сірчанокислого заліза (ІІ). Механосинтез та механічне змішування здійснювали в планетарному кульовому млині. Технологічні властивості порошків визначали стандартними методами: текучість ІСО 4490, насипна щільність ІСО 3923, пресованість ІСО 3927, міцність неспеченої пресовки ІСО 3995. Результати. Досліджено комплекс технологічних, фізичних властивостей порошкових матеріалів, а також механічних характеристик і структури спечених конструкційних матеріалів на основі заліза, отриманих із застосуванням різних технологічних прийомів легування міддю і вуглецем: механічного змішування, механосинтеза і оміднення (хімічної цементації). Виконано порівняльний аналіз властивостей отриманих матеріалів і визначено оптимальний спосіб легування. Встановлено, що найбільш високим рівнем технологічних і механічних характеристик володіють порошкові матеріали, леговані методом хімічної цементації. Висновки. Зазначений метод можна рекомендувати для промислового виробництва спечених конструкційних мідистих сталей, оскільки він забезпечує високий рівень механічних властивостей матеріалу і є економічно вигідним. 2020 Article Improvement of the operational Properties of sintered Copper steel through the use of an efficient alloying method / S.Y.

Nauka innov. 2020. 16 (1) the use of powder metallurgy methods in the crea- tion of new materials makes it possible to provi de the optimal combination of the techno lo gy for their production, structural and per for mance cha- racteristics, as well as to reduce the metal and product losses. of particular interest is the pow der steel used in modern mechanical engineering; it has high-strength level combined with good du c- tility, toughness, low tendency to brittle fracture. Further improvement of steel properties, in- c luding powder steel properties, is achieved by increasing the carbon content, plastic deforma- tion, alloying, heat treatment, changing the mi- cro- and submicrostructure. the technological properties of powders and powder mixtures are extremely important, since they determine the technological parameters of the parts manufacture. Powders with high com- pactability make it possible to manufacture parts of a more complex configuration and make them more technological [1—4]. in this regard, the imp- rovement of technological properties including the compactability of powders and powder mix- tures is a relevant objective. alloyed powder steel, unlike cast-steel, has a number of characteristic features caused by speci- ficity of its production. the following methods are known to fabricate powder alloyed steel: pre- paration of multicomponent mixtures from iron powders and alloying elements with their subse- quent processing [5, 6]; the use of alloyed iron powders, to which, if necessary, carbon (usually graphite) or other alloying elements are added [1, 5, 7]; impregnation with liquid alloying metals or diffusion saturation of frameworks sintered from iron powder [8, 9]; mechano-alloying [10— 17]; chemical cementation of iron-based powders [4, 18, 19]. each of these methods has its advan- tages and disadvantages. in such a way, steel, ob- tained from the finished alloyed powders, have a homogeneous structure, and the distribution of elements in the alloy has a high degree of homo- geneity. however, they have poor technological properties — compressibility and compactability; they are scarce and expensive. Copper alloying in the amount of 1.0—10 wt.% increases the flow limit and temporary resistance of the material sintered from the material alloyed powder, but partly reduces its plasticity and toughness [1—6, 19—22]. Copper alloying signi- ficantly increases the resistance of the powder material to atmospheric corrosion. maximum ten- sile strength is achieved with a mass fraction of copper of 5—7%. moreover, copper stabilizes the shrinkage of the product during sintering, and when the copper content amount to about 2%, there is no shrinkage at all. Copper alloying of powder sintered materials can be done in different ways. Copper can be int- roduced into the mixture in the form of copper powders, iron-copper ligature, copper-containing alloy (for example, bronze), in the form of cop- perplated graphite [1, 5, 6]. the methods of me- chanical mixing of powders are most often used in the production of powder products for the pre- paration of the mixtures. the compactability and compressibility of the powder mixture obtained in these cases is not high enough and chipping or spilling of separate parts of the compact can oc- cur in the manufacture of parts of complex shape or at low extrusion pressure. it is difficult enough to achieve the absolute uniformity of the compo- nents distribution by the volume of the powder mixture during mechanical mixing, especially with a low content of one of the components. the information considered in the literature on the properties of sintered steel and methods for its alloying is disparate; this complicates the application of sintered steel in the development of new types of powder materials and their imple- mentation into production. research has been conducted in this regard to study the methods of alloying iron powder with copper and their influ- ence on the properties of sintered powder steel. the aim of the research is to improve the tech- nological properties of powder mixtures based on the iron-copper-carbon system, which will sig- nificantly improve the set of mechanical and phy- sicochemical characteristics of sintered steel. the authors have proposed the alloying method, which improvement of the operational Properties of sintered Copper steel through the use of an efficient alloying ISSN 1815-2066. Nauka innov. 2020. 16 (1) 83 involves application of a copper plating on the particles of steel powder by chemical deposition. the objective of this Paper is to study the inf- luence of the copper alloying method on the tech- nological properties of powder mixtures and me- chanical characteristics of sintered copper steels. the dispersed iron powder and powder of steel 70 with low compactability and green strength qualities have been used as the target of research. this limits their usage in the manufacture of products of complex shape. Copper plating on the iron powder particles has been obtained using a method of internal electrolysis (chemical cementation) in an acidic aqueous solution of copper sulfate with the ad- dition of ferrous sulfate (ii). the required cop- per content on the iron powder has been provi- ded by adjusting the ratio of the volume of the reacting solution of constant composition and the mass of the original steel powder. the reac- tion has been carried out until complete copper ions deposition. the end of the reaction has been determined visually by discoloration of the res- ponding solution. after copper deposition, the powder was sub- ject to cold-water rinsing, stabilizing in a special solution to prevent oxidation, repeated washing and drying with a stream of warm air at a tem- perature of 55—60 °C. the plating quality has been controlled both visually, by color, and by optical microscopy. the set of technological properties has been determined after obtaining the finished powder; this set of properties includes the following: green strength, bulk density, compactability — by the methods established in accordance with the standards. the mechanical properties of the sintered ma- terial Fe 5% Cu 0,5% C, which corresponds in che- mical composition powder steel grade Pk50D5 to that obtained from sprayed steel powder, have been investigated. three alloying methods have been used: mechanical mixing of the initial pow- ders, mechanosynthesis and copperizing of steel powder. mechanical mixing has been carried out drum mixer type «umbling barrel»; mechanosyn- thesis has been carried out in a planetary ball mill; copperizing of steel powder 70 has been carried out in accordance with the technology developed for iron powder copperizing [18]. the iron sprayed powder brand PGr 3.200.28 (Gost 9449-89) [23], the copper electrolytic powder brand Pms-1 (Gost 4960-75) [24], the sprayed steel 70 powder and the graphite pencil grade Gk-1 (Gost 4404-78) [3] have been used to develop the preproduction models. the preproduction models have been obtained by single cold pressing followed by sintering. the pressing and sintering modes for all preproduc- tion models under research were the same. the following properties of preproduction mo- dels have been investigated: volumetric shrink- age; porosity; tensile strength; Brinell hardness; bending strength.

Carbon has been dissolved in steel powder 70, and copperizing makes it possible to evenly distribute copper in the volume of the compact. this makes it possible to obtain after sintering the structure of alloyed ferrite with uniformly distributed inclusions of perlite, which results in a high level of mechanical properties.

Проблематика. Методи легування, що існують, часто не забезпечують рівномірного розподілу легуючих елемен- тів по всьому об’ємі порошкової шихти, що призводить до нерівномірної щільності та, відповідно, до зниження міц- ності спеченої сталі. Мета. Підвищення технологічних властивостей спечених сталей шляхом легування залізного порошку міддю, а саме механічного синтезу, механічного змішування та оміднення. Матеріали й методи. Вихідними матеріалами слугували розпилені порошки заліза марки ПЖр 3.200.28 (ГосТ 9849-86) і порошок сталі 70, які мають низькі показники формованості та міцності неспеченої пресовки. Мід- не покриття на частинках залізного порошку отримували методом внутрішнього електролізу (хімічної цементації) в кислому водному розчині сірчанокислої міді з додаванням сірчанокислого заліза (ІІ). Механосинтез та механічне змішування здійснювали в планетарному кульовому млині. Технологічні властивості порошків визначали стандарт- ними методами: текучість Ісо 4490, насипна щільність Ісо 3923, пресованість Ісо 3927, міцність неспеченої пре- совки Ісо 3995. Результати. Досліджено комплекс технологічних, фізичних властивостей порошкових матеріалів, а також меха- ніч них характеристик і структури спечених конструкційних матеріалів на основі заліза, отриманих із застосуванням різних технологічних прийомів легування міддю і вуглецем: механічного змішування, механосинтеза і оміднення (хімічної цементації). Виконано порівняльний аналіз властивостей отриманих матеріалів і визначено оптимальний спосіб легування. Встановлено, що найбільш високим рівнем технологічних і механічних характеристик володіють порошкові матеріали, леговані методом хімічної цементації. Висновки. зазначений метод можна рекомендувати для промислового виробництва спечених конструкційних мі- дистих сталей, оскільки він забезпечує високий рівень механічних властивостей матеріалу і є економічно вигідним. Ключові слова: легування, спечені мідисті сталі, механічне змішування, механосинтез, оміднення.
