Abstract

The present invention provides a method for improving the processing yield rate of tungsten-molybdenum sintered products. According to three-dimensional digital modeling and simulation of pressing and sintering process, combined with the particle size, loose ratio and other characteristics of tungsten-molybdenum materials, the powder filling size and powder car size of the pressed green sheets of different batches of raw materials are determined, and the compression performance of the raw materials used for the pressed green sheets is judged by weighing the unit weight of the pressed green sheets, thereby reducing the processing allowance and improving the product yield rate. For large-scale special-shaped products, the tap density of the tungsten-molybdenum powder raw materials is digitally modeled, and the unit weight of the pressed green sheets after preliminary processing is deducted from the powder filling weight. The volume of the pressed green sheets can be obtained by three-dimensional modeling, and the density formula of the pressed green sheets is: unit weight÷volume of the pressed green sheets=density of the pressed green sheets. The digital modeling and simulation of the sintering process are finally used to accurately adjust the powder car processing technology of the pressed green sheets. The tungsten-molybdenum products made by the powder metallurgy method have a size and shape qualification rate of nearly 100% after implementation, and the utilization rate of the raw materials is improved, thereby reducing the cost and improving the product qualification rate.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of processing tungsten-molybdenum sintered products, and in particular to a method for improving the processing yield of tungsten-molybdenum sintered products. Background Art

[0002] The market price of tungsten and molybdenum raw materials has always been at a high level. Among major tungsten and molybdenum product manufacturers, how to reduce the input of raw materials and thus reduce production costs has become the primary task and problem. General production companies have always designed the size of compacting molds and powder carts based on production experience, but this has very high requirements for the performance of tungsten and molybdenum powder raw materials and the pressure stability of the press. Once one of these factors changes, the product will have a high quality risk, thereby reducing the processing yield of tungsten and molybdenum sintered products. Therefore, we made a change and proposed a method to improve the processing yield of tungsten and molybdenum sintered products. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problems raised by the existing background technology and to achieve the above invention purpose. The present invention provides the following technical solutions: a method for improving the processing yield of tungsten-molybdenum sintered products, comprising the following steps: S1, querying the pressing performance parameters of tungsten-molybdenum powder raw materials: particle size, particle size distribution, bulk ratio, and tap density;

[0004] S2, digital modeling and simulation of the pressing process, design of the mold and determination of the powder size and powder weight;

[0005] S3. Calculation of green compact density: After compaction, the green compact pre-powder is machined into a regular shape, the turning powder is weighed, the unit weight of the green compact is calculated, the volume is calculated by modeling, and the density of the green compact is calculated by the green compact density formula: unit weight ÷ green compact volume = green compact density;

[0006] S4. Based on the fact that the unit weight before and after sintering remains unchanged, V1*ρ billet = V2*ρ finished product, digital modeling and simulation of the sintering process are carried out to determine the powder car process. This will greatly improve the dimensional accuracy of the sintered furnace; S5. Based on the three-dimensional software simulation of shrinkage, the corresponding shrinkage ratio of the compacts with different densities is determined;

[0007] S6, measuring the density of the green compact, judging the density of the green compact by weighing the unit weight, and then adjusting the size by a given process;

[0008] S7. For large products, after the pressing is completed, the outer shape is first turned into a regular shape, and the turning powder is weighed. The weight of the powder is subtracted from the unit weight of the turning powder, i.e., the unit weight of the compact after preliminary processing. The density of the compact is obtained by the density formula of the compact: unit weight ÷ volume of the compact = density of the compact;

[0009] S8. According to the fact that the unit weight remains unchanged before and after sintering shrinkage, V1*ρ billet = V2*ρ finished product, the sintering shrinkage value is determined by the formula, and then fine powder processing is carried out to finally determine the sintered furnace size accuracy.

[0010] As the preferred technical solution of the present invention, S9, mold design, tungsten-molybdenum processed crucible products, large specifications, low yield. Mold design is particularly important. The key to controlling the amount of powder is the bottom size D of the mold. According to digital modeling and cold pressing process simulation, combined with the performance parameters of tungsten-molybdenum powder raw materials, the design size calculation formula is:

[0011] D=((powder car outer diameter - D1) / 2+3)*1.9*2+D1-10

[0012] The powder loading size is ((outer diameter of the powder car-D1) / 2+3)*1.9*2+ D1+20. The invention is put into practice in product production, and the yield rate of raw materials is high.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, before the three-dimensional software simulation in S5, three-dimensional modeling is performed according to the size and shape of the tungsten-molybdenum sintered product, and force analysis is performed after the three-dimensional modeling is completed.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, in the process of pressing the green sheet in S6, the green sheet is pressed and formed by a cold isostatic press according to the size and shape of the product.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the spindle speed during the turning process in S7 is 800-1200 r / min.

[0016] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, in S7, a ceramic tool is selected as the turning tool (tungsten and molybdenum processing is generally an alloy tool or a diamond tool, and the tool type is not required) and cutting is performed for 15 to 30 minutes under the conditions of f=0.6 to 5.5 mm / r, ap=4 to 6 mm, and vσ=120 to 160 m / min.

[0017] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the S8 fine powder turning process uses a fine turning tool to finish the tungsten-molybdenum sintered product to the required accuracy by correcting the tool tooth profile and tool pitch.

[0018] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, in the step five of mold processing, the cavity surface of the mold is finely processed by a CNC milling machine, the rotation speed of the CNC milling machine is 2500r / min to 3000r / min, and the processing allowance is 0.1mm to 0.3mm.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] In the scheme of the present invention: according to the three-dimensional software simulation shrinkage, the corresponding shrinkage ratio of the green compact with different densities is determined, the density of the green compact is measured, and the size of the green compact density is judged by weighing the unit weight, and then the size is adjusted by a given process. For large products, after the pressing is completed, the outer shape is first turned into a regular shape, and the turning powder is weighed. The powder weight is subtracted from the turning powder, that is, the unit weight of the green compact after preliminary processing. The density of the green compact is obtained by the density formula of the green compact: unit weight ÷ volume of the green compact = density of the green compact. According to the unit weight before and after sintering shrinkage, V1*ρ green compact = V2*ρ finished product, the sintering shrinkage value is determined by the formula, and then the fine powder is processed, and the sintering furnace size accuracy is finally determined. The processed crucible tungsten and molybdenum products have larger specifications and lower yields. Mold design is also particularly important. The method of controlling the amount of powder is the bottom size D of the mold. After actual production, the raw material yield is high, and the size qualification rate after product sintering is close to 100%. The raw material utilization rate is greatly improved, which effectively reduces the production cost and improves the product qualification rate. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
