AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent text discusses the use of cemented carbides in wear-resistant tools, specifically for forming aspherical glass lenses. These tools require high oxidation resistance, hardness, and specularity, meaning they should not have a binder phase or only a small amount of binder phase. The text describes a specific cemented carbide that meets these requirements and is formed by pressing a blank ball of glass lens at a high temperature. This cemented carbide has excellent properties, including high hardness and high specularity, but it can be difficult to process due to its high hardness and slightly higher brittleness compared to other carbides.

Problems solved by technology

However, it is sometimes difficult to process the cemented carbide because of inferior grindability of the solid solution composite carbide phase of TiC-WC, that is, higher hardness and slightly higher brittleness in comparison with WC.
However, the disclosed cemented carbide requires hot press and can not be produced by ordinary vacuum sintering, which results in lower productivity.
Laid-Open No. 2004-91241) discloses a WC based cemented carbide composed of a single phase of WC having a grain size of less than 0.3 μm; however, the disclosed cemented carbide is produced by a pulsed-current pressure sintering process, which results in remarkably lower productivity.

example 1

[0048]A raw powder of WC having an average grain size of 150 nm (calculated on the basis of the BET value) was used and then intensively wet-pulverized for 72 hours by using a ball mill under the conditions that a compound composition was WC-5.5 mass % VC-22.5 mass % Cr3C2-10 mass % Ni and weight ratio of a cemented carbide ball serving as a pulverizing medium to the powder was 5 to 1. After the intense pulverization, obtained slurry was dried, and then, was stored as powder A. Then, this powder A was used at 2 mass % and the raw powder of WC of 150 nm was added thereto at 98 mass % so that the entire composition became WC-0.11 mass % VC-0.45 mass % Cr3C2-0.2 mass % Ni, and then, wet pulverization was performed for 72 hours under the condition that weight ratio of a cemented carbide ball serving as a pulverizing medium to the powder was 3 to 1.

Abstract

Provided is a high hardness ultra-fine cemented carbide with a Ni binder phase for a wear resistant tool. An ultra-fine cemented carbide having high specularity and / or high strength, high hardness, and high wear resistance is obtained by using an ultra-fine raw powder of WC, controlling the amount of Ni, and the contents of V and Cr, so that a third phase containing V and Cr precipitates in a microstructure of the cemented carbide in a finely dispersed state, and at the same time, the size of Ni pool is controlled to a value equal to or less than the average grain size of WC. By using this cemented carbide, the range of application to an aspherical glass lens mold, an ultrahigh pressure generation container for neutron diffraction experiment, a non-ferromagnetic corrosion resistant and wear resistant tool, and the like is expanded.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a WC based ultra-fine cemented carbide with a Ni binder phase which achieves excellent specularity easily, has a higher level of radiation safety, and has a long lifetime, especially when used as an aspherical glass lens mold, an ultrahigh pressure generation container for neutron diffraction experiment, a non-ferromagnetic wear resistant tool requiring high corrosion resistance and high wear resistance, or the like.[0002]Among wear resistant tools, for uses requiring higher specularity, a WC based cemented carbide not comprising a binder phase is used. Moreover, for ultrahigh pressure generation containers used for studying characteristics of a material under high pressure (an anvil, a cylinder, or the like), a WC based cemented carbide and a WC based ultra-fine cemented carbide comprising a Co binder phase in a relatively small amount are used. Furthermore, a WC-VC-Cr3C2-10 mass % Ni ultra-fine cemented carbide comp...
