Embodiment 1

[0057] Embodiment 1 (the present invention)

[0058] Powders having the composition by weight % as shown in Table 1, prepared from γ-phase-containing cemented carbide scrap recovered through the Zn recovery process, were pre-ground in a ball mill for 100 hours. The pre-milled grain size was measured to be 0.7 μm using a laser diffraction apparatus called Microtrac 3000S operating in absorption mode and measurements were carried out in water, ie the powder was in the form of a slurry.

[0061] The pre-milled fraction was mixed with virgin WC stock fraction with a grain size of 5 μm (FSSS), and (Ti 0.85 W 0.15 )C, (Ta 0.8 Nb 0.2 )C and Ti(C 0.5 N 0.5 ) were added as individual carbides together with binder metal Co powder in wt % amounts as shown in Table 2 to match the ...

Embodiment 2

[0069] Embodiment 2 (prior art)

[0070] Unused WC raw materials with a grain size of 5 μm, prealloyed cubic carbide raw materials (Ta, Ti, Nb, W) with a weight fraction of Ta / Ti / Nb / W of 31 / 20 / 5 / 34 ( C, N) and Co powders were mixed to match the resulting overall total elemental composition as shown in Table 4 by weight %. An organic binder, which is polyethylene glycol, was also added in an amount of 2% by weight, the amount of organic binder not being included in the total volume of the dry powder. The total material volume was mixed by using a ball mill milling operation for 12 hours to form a homogeneous slurry blend. The slurry is then dried in a spray-dryer to a powder ready to be pressed.

[0075] Embodiment 3 (comparison)

[0076] The virgin WC raw material with a grain size of 5 μm, the binder metal Co powder and the PRZ material with the composition shown in Table 1 that had been recovered according to the zinc treatment method, and (Ti 0.85 W 0.15 )C, (Ta 0.8 Nb 0.2 )C and Ti(C 0.5 N 0.5 ) of virgin cubic carbide powder, added as individual carbides in an amount by weight % as indicated in Table 5. No pre-grinding step was performed on the recovered PRZ powder. The PRZ material has a grain size of 3 μm as measured using a laser diffraction apparatus called Microtrac 3000S operating in absorption mode and carrying out the measurements in water, ie the powder is in the form of a slurry. The powders were mixed to match the resulting overall elemental composition as shown in Table 6 by weight %. An organic binder which is polyethylene glycol was also added in an amount of 2% by weight, the amount of organic binder not included in the total volume of the ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method of producing cemented carbide comprising mixing a first powder fraction and a second powder fraction in a slurry, grinding, drying, pressing and sintering said slurry. The first powder fraction is produced from cemented carbide scrap recovered using a Zn recovery process, comprising the elements W, C, Co, and at least one of Ta, Ti, Nb, Cr, Zr, Hf, and Mo or more, and the second powder part contains virgin WC raw material and possible carbides and / or carbonitrides of one or more of Cr, Zr, W, Ta, Ti, Hf and Nb . Before said step of forming said slurry, said first powder fraction is subjected to a pre-grinding step to obtain an average grain size of 0.2 μm to 1.5 μm.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for preparing cemented carbide using recycled cemented carbide containing gamma phase. Background technique [0002] Since the raw materials used in the manufacture of cemented carbide are very expensive, the ability to recycle cemented carbide scrap is of great interest. Using recycled carbide will significantly reduce energy consumption and environmental impact compared to using virgin raw material. However, some cemented carbide products cannot be manufactured from recycled cemented carbide without sacrificing product quality compared to when using virgin raw material. [0003] Recycling of cemented carbide is usually carried out by metallurgical or chemical means, for example by zinc recovery process, electrolytic recovery and extraction or oxidation. In the Zn recovery process, sometimes called PRZ (Process Recovery Zinc), carbide scrap is dipped into molten zinc in an electric furnace. The zinc is then...
