ABSTRACT Introduction. Spherical powder sliding bearings are widely used in various branches of mechanical engineering. Therefore, the development of a promising method of production of spherical sliding bearing parts from powders of corrosion-resistant steels with specified properties is an urgent task. Purpose of work: is to study the kinetics of forming during cold die forging of spherical sliding bearing parts from stainless steel powder blanks, and to assess the effect of the chemical composition of lubricants and the design of the pressing tool on the structure and properties of the bearing outer ring. Materials from sprayed powders of stainless chromium-nickel steels obtained by cold die forging of sintered blanks coated with lubricants are studied in the work. The following research methods were used: mechanical tensile testing, metallographic studies and cold die forging process simulation. Results and its discussion. It is revealed that the resistance and work of deformation, as well as the kinetics of forming of the outer ring of the spherical sliding bearing are influenced by chemical composition of powders and lubricants, microstructure and mechanical properties of the blank material, configurations of the end surfaces of punches. The top and bottom edges of the outer bearing are most intensively sealed when the punch faces are made with a chamfer angle of 30–40 degrees. With an increase in the relative strain degree by height up to 0.30–0.35 its residual porosity amounted to 0.5–2.0 %. The features of definition of strain state and calculation of strain energy in the implementation of the offered method and the choice of technological parameters of the cold die forging process of sliding bearings parts are shown. A simple method for calculating and experimentally determining the coefficient of contact friction in the process of cold die forging of porous stainless steel blanks is developed, which allows to establish the effect of lubricant composition on the strain resistance at different values of the degree of radial deformation and to develop optimal methods of cold die forging of porous blanks in the production of parts of different complexity.

When die forging parts with curvilinear elements, characteristic, for example, of spherical sliding bearings, levers, fine-modular gears and others, it is advisable to design powder blanks taking into account the plasticity of the material, forming schemes, as well as the requirements for the die forged products [4–8]. Particular attention is paid to the design and optimization of technological parameters of powder blanks production, since powder metallurgy methods guarantee greater metal savings, productivity growth, energy costs reduction, etc.
