The invention discloses a method for preparing WC-Co nano composite
powder by in situ reduction and
carbonization, which comprises the following steps: 1, preparing a
mixed solution containing W, Co and C or
mixed solution containing W, Co, C and inhibitor raw materials or an
emulsion; 2, carrying out
hydrothermal reaction; arranging the
mixed solution obtained in step 1 in a
hydrothermal reaction kettle, sealing, heating to 120-200 DEG C, preserving the temperature for 2-15h, cooling to the
room temperature, and then filtering, cleaning and
drying the reactants to obtain presoma
powder; 3, reducing and carbonizing; and 4, directly arranging the presoma
powder obtained in step 2 in a
vacuum furnace or protective
atmosphere furnace, and heating to 800-1100 DEG C to carry out reduction and
carbonization reaction with the reaction time of 0.5-6h to obtain WC-Co and WC-Co nano composite powder containing an inhibitor. The
raw material used in the method is cheap, the process is simple, the product is pure, particles are fine and uniform, the defects of long cycle, nonuniform mixing and the like of a ball-milling mixed material process can be avoided, the preparation cycle is shortened, the production cost is reduced, and the method has the
advantage of industrial application.
