Description

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of material technology, and in particular to a metal ceramic, a preparation method thereof, and a cutting tool. Background Art

[0002] Ti(C,N)-based cermets, as hard composite materials, have been widely used in cutting and wear-resistant applications due to their high hardness, excellent wear resistance, low friction coefficient with steel, and good chemical stability. Because their primary metallic binder phase typically contains Ni / Co, Ti(C,N)-based cermets are often ferromagnetic. However, in complex applications, such as wear-resistant components in electronic instruments and cutting tools made of ferromagnetic materials, the presence of ferromagnetism can lead to poor surface quality and significantly shortened tool life. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop new conductive, non-magnetic cermets.

[0003] WC is a good conductor of electricity and non-magnetic at room temperature. Its notable characteristics include high strength, wear resistance, and chemical stability. Compared to micron-sized ceramic phase powders, nanopowders are more soluble in the binder phase. Theoretically, adding nano-WC powders can help reduce the magnetic properties of cermets. However, the preparation of non-magnetic nanocomposite cermets using nano-WC as the functional phase faces the technical challenge of poor dispersion. Summary of the Invention

[0039] Ti(C,N) based cermets as a kind of hard composite material, has high hardness, excellent wear resistance, low friction coefficient with steel, and good chemical stability, and has been widely used in cutting and wear-resistant fields. Because Ti(C,N) based cermets, its main component metal binder phase usually contains Ni / Co, often ferromagnetic. However, in some complex applications, such as wear-resistant parts in electronic instruments and cutting tools of ferromagnetic materials, the presence of ferromagnetic can cause the surface quality of the workpiece to be poor, and the service life of the tool is greatly shortened. Therefore, it is urgent to develop new conductive non-magnetic cermet materials.

[0040] WC is a good conductor of electricity, and at room temperature, it is non-magnetic, and its significant features are high strength, high wear resistance and high chemical stability. Compared with micron ceramic phase powder, nano powder is more easily dissolved in the binder phase, and theoretically, adding nano WC powder is beneficial to the reduction of the magnetism of the cermet. However, the preparation of non-magnetic nano composite cermet with nano WC as functional phase faces the technical problem of poor dispersibility.

[0041] In view of this, the present application provides a cermet, comprising: comprising the following weight percentage of components: TiC: 25-45%; TiN: 9.5-10%; Ni: 25-32%; Mo: 0-12%; and, WC: 5-25%.

[0042] In the technical solution of the present application, TiC, TiN hard phase and Ni binder phase are used as main raw materials, and WC is added. Since WC is a good conductor of electricity, and because of the solid solution of WC in the metal binder phase, the outer electrons of W are transferred into the empty orbit of nickel, weakening the magnetic exchange effect of nickel. The magnetic susceptibility of the prepared cermet can be as low as 1.36*10 -5 , and has good electrical conductivity. Among them, the role of adding elemental Mo is that Ni cannot completely infiltrate Ti(C,N) ceramic particles, resulting in low porosity and low mechanical properties of Ti(C,N) ceramic particles. Adding Mo can improve the wettability of Ni to Ti(C,N) ceramic particles and can refine the ceramic particles.

[0043] At the same time, the technical solution of the present application does not contain scarce resource Co, which has important significance for protecting mineral resources.

[0044] Further, the average particle size of the WC is 30-50 nm, i.e. the WC is a nano-level particle, because the nano-level WC is more easily dissolved in the binder phase, and theoretically, adding nano WC powder is beneficial to the reduction of the magnetism of the cermet. Therefore, in the case that other components are micron particles, the WC is a nano powder.

[0045] The present application provides a preparation method of cermet, comprising the following steps:

[0046] S10, mixing WC with a solvent to obtain a uniformly dispersed WC powder suspension;

[0047] Specifically, the present application does not limit the specific type of solvent. The main purpose is to dissolve and disperse WC to facilitate mixing of WC with other components. For example, the solvent can be anhydrous ethanol.

[0048] S20, mixing TiC, TiN, Ni, and Mo with the uniformly dispersed WC powder suspension to obtain a mixed slurry;

[0049] Specifically, TiC, TiN, Ni and Mo are put into the uniformly dispersed WC powder suspension.

[0050] S30, ball-milling the mixed slurry to obtain a ball-milled mixed slurry;

[0051] Specifically, the mixed slurry is ball-milled by a tool in order to mix the powders uniformly.

[0052] S40, drying, compression molding, and vacuum sintering the mixed slurry in sequence to obtain a metal ceramic.

[0053] The raw materials are mixed uniformly in the solvent, the mixed slurry is dried to return to a powdery state, and then sieved through an 80-100 mesh screen to obtain a powder of a suitable particle size. The sieved powder is pressed into a blank under a pressure of 300-350 MPa, and then vacuum sintered to form a cermet. The purpose is to allow the components to react with each other, dissolving WC in the binder phase and allowing Ni and Mo to infiltrate and bind the TiC and TiN hard phases.

[0054] The preparation method of the metal ceramic of the present application has simple process, convenient operation, low cost, and is suitable for industrial production.

[0055] Furthermore, in step S10, the solvent includes anhydrous ethanol, and / or the solvent includes anhydrous ethanol added with a non-ionic dispersant. To efficiently / effectively disperse the substance, a non-ionic dispersant, such as at least one of Triton X-100 and OP-10, may be added to the anhydrous ethanol as a solvent. To disperse the WC and other components, the non-ionic dispersant is added in an amount of 1-2% by mass of the WC, for example, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, etc. When the non-ionic dispersant is less than 1%, the dispersion effect is poor, and when it is greater than 2%, the non-ionic dispersant is wasted and the dispersion effect is poor. The non-ionic dispersant includes at least one of Triton X-100 and OP-10.

[0056] Step S20 includes:

[0057] S21, mixing TiC, TiN, Ni, and Mo with the uniformly dispersed WC powder suspension to obtain a mixture;

[0058] S22, mixing the mixture with anhydrous ethanol to obtain a mixed slurry.

[0059] Anhydrous ethanol is added during the mixing process of the components in order to further disperse and dissolve the components. Ultrasonic waves are used during the mixing process to promote the rapid dissolution of the components.

[0060] In step S30:

[0061] The mixed slurry is ball-milled using WC-Co carbide balls; wherein,

[0062] The mass ratio of the WC-Co cemented carbide balls to the mixed slurry is 7:1-12:1.

[0063] In step S40 , the reason for using WC-Co carbide balls for ball milling is that the balls made of this material are wear-resistant and will not introduce impurities that are detrimental to the performance of the metal ceramic during the ball milling process.

[0064] The drying is vacuum drying, the vacuum drying temperature is 78-90° C., and / or,

[0065] The vacuum drying time is 8-16 hours.

[0066] The drying effect is best under this drying temperature and drying time.

[0067] Furthermore, in step S40: the vacuum degree of the vacuum calcination is lower than 1×10 -2 Pa, and / or, the vacuum calcination temperature is 1420-1430° C., and / or, the vacuum calcination time is 0.8-1.2 h.

[0068] Specifically, during vacuum calcination, it is necessary to control the vacuum degree, temperature, and calcination time. If the vacuum degree, temperature, and calcination time are too low, no effect will be achieved. If they are too high, performance will be reduced, grains will grow, and production resources will be wasted.

[0069] The present invention provides a cutting tool, comprising the metal ceramic, or the metal ceramic prepared by the preparation method of the metal ceramic.

[0070] The cutting tool includes all the technical solutions of the metal ceramic, and thus also has all the beneficial effects brought by the above solutions, which will not be described in detail here. The cutting tool can be applied to various life scenarios including but not limited to.

[0071] The technical solutions of the present application are further described in detail below in combination with specific embodiments and drawings. It should be understood that the following embodiments are only used to explain the present application and do not limit the present application.
