Problems solved by technology

For alloys with the same composition, when the α-Co content of the face-centered cubic structure in the cobalt phase is more, the cobalt phase can absorb more strain energy and relax stress, better coordinate the two-phase strain state, and the alloy has good toughness and resistance to stress. The bending strength is high; when the ε-Co content of the close-packed hexagonal structure is high, the ability of the cobalt phase to absorb strain energy and relaxation stress and coordinate the strain state of the two phases is poor, the alloy has poor toughness and low bending strength
At present, the cemented carbide cold heading die parts produced by the traditional process are generally high-cobalt alloys with a cobalt content of 20%~30%, a hardness of HRA81~83, and a bending strength of 2000~2800MPa. Co accounts for about 100%, and there is no α-Co. Although this type of alloy has excellent properties of high hardness and high wear resistance, it has low bending strength and poor toughness, and is prone to problems such as fatigue cracking and chipping. performance drop

[0001] technical field [0002] The invention relates to a processing method of cemented carbide, in particular to a heat treatment process of cemented carbide for cold heading dies. Background technique [0003] Compared with traditional alloy tool steel dies, cemented carbide cold heading dies have a service life of more than ten or even dozens of times. At present, they have been widely used in the production of standard parts in my country, and their demand is increasing day by day. Commonly used cemented carbide materials for cold heading dies are generally tungsten-cobalt cemented carbides. The wear resistance, toughness, and bending strength of such cemented carbides depend to a large extent on the cobalt phase in the alloy. form. For alloys with the same composition, when the α-Co content of the face-centered cubic structure in the cobalt phase is more, the cobalt phase can absorb more strain energy and relax stress, better coordinate the two-phase strain state, and...
