The invention belongs to the technical field of hard alloys, and particularly relates to a high-performance hard
alloy with uniformly dispersed
tantalum carbide and a preparation method of the high-performance hard
alloy. The preparation method comprises the following steps: adding a
potassium fluotantalate solution into a
cobalt-
nickel solution; adjusting the pH value of the solution to completely precipitate
cobalt,
nickel and
tantalum, filtering, washing with water, and
drying to obtain a
cobalt-
nickel-
tantalum precursor; then reducing, crushing and sieving to obtain precursor
powder; and mixing the precursor
powder with
carbon black,
tungsten carbide and paraffin, carrying out wet ball milling and
spray granulation, preparing a pressed blank, and
sintering to obtain the high-performance hard
alloy. According to the preparation method, by adding the nickel element and using a liquid-liquid mixing method, superfine cobalt-nickel
solid solution
powder is obtained through reduction, and the
toughness of the alloy can be improved; tantalum conversion is completed in the
sintering process, tantalum dispersion and alloy performance strengthening are facilitated, the
solid solution amount of tantalum in cobalt-nickel is increased,
sintering growth of WC is inhibited, and the
hardness and
wear resistance of the alloy are improved.
