Problems solved by technology

[0003] 1. Since the insulation door and the graphite door inside the pressure furnace need to be opened and closed frequently, some furnace types realize the elastic pressing of the graphite door, but cannot make it open and close independently, and some furnace types realize the independent opening and closing of the graphite, but unable to make it elastic
In short, the independent elastic pressing of the graphite door has not been realized in the prior art, and it is difficult to ensure the sealing of the inner cavity of the graphite cylinder, and there is a phenomenon that the wax vapor escapes to the outer cavity of the furnace.
[0004] 2. The sealing ring of the pressure furnace door is easily damaged by overheating
The furnace door sealing ring is a vulnerable part. If the seal is not tight during the use of the equipment, it will easily lead to leakage and affect product quality.
[0005] 3. The dewaxing valve is blocked by the condensation of wax vapor, which blocks the switching action of the valve. It often occurs that the switching action is difficult, and the closing is not tight and the gas leaks.
[0006] 4. Because the hydrogen pumping step is often required during the working process of the pressure furnace, and the pressure furnace mechanical pump in the prior art generally does not adopt hydrogen explosion-proof measures, there are potential safety hazards
In the prior art, the heating element is generally divided into three bands to form a circle. The diameter of the graphite heating rod used is less than 15mm, and the length is more than 1100mm, resulting in poor mechanical properties of the heating rod, easy to break during installation and use, and frequent maintenance.
[0008] 6. Due to the particularity of the pressure furnace, the electrode current is generally quite large. If the furnace shell electrodes use high magnetic permeability materials, the high temperature generated by eddy currents may affect the safety of the furnace shell.
[0009] 7. The pressurization system has not effectively controlled the flow of hydrogen, nitrogen and other gases according to the requirements of the production process, so as to ensure the gas pressure required by the product during dewaxing and sintering, and to ensure the effective bonding of alloy powder and particles during the production process , improve product density
[0010] Since the pressure sintering furnaces in the prior art still have the above-mentioned structural defects, it is inevitable that the blank will be oxidized and absorb moisture due to direct contact with the air, which is not conducive to the control of the carbon content in the alloy, resulting in a product qualification rate that can only reach about 80%

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to cemented carbide sintering equipment, in particular to a pressure sintering furnace. Background technique [0002] Cemented carbide sintering is a key process in the production of cemented carbide, which plays a decisive role in the final quality of the product. At present, there are two development directions of sintering technology in the world, one is atmosphere controlled sintering, and the other is pressure sintering. Gas pressure sintering is a new process technology for cemented carbide manufacturing. It was first used in industrial production in Kennametal, USA in the late 1980s. It is a new sintering technology that uses high-pressure gas to promote product densification when the product has been degassed, the surface pores have been closed, and the binder phase is still in the liquid phase. Since this process technology can effectively reduce or eliminate residual pores and internal defects in cemented carbide, and ...
