TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of diamond compact, in particular to a high-purity diamond compact and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] As diamond has extremely high hardness and wear resistance, its broken micro powder is widely used in various grinding and polishing fields. Among them, micron-level diamond micro powder is mainly used to manufacture diamond cutting and grinding tools and components. Diamond compact, as a key part of oil drilling bits, directly determines the drilling efficiency of the bit.
[0003] The diamond compact is composed of a PCD (Polycrystalline diamond) cutting part and a hard alloy substrate support part, wherein the PCD layer is formed by sintering diamond micro powder under high temperature and high pressure. The performance of the diamond compact is closely related to the quality of the diamond micro powder itself, including its strength, morphology, particle size composition, purity and the like. Among them, the strength and morphology of the diamond micro powder are determined by the diamond raw material and its crushing process, the particle size composition of the diamond micro powder can affect the wear resistance and impact resistance of the diamond compact by adjusting the micro powder ratio, and the purity of the diamond micro powder is often difficult to effectively control due to the mixing of impurities in the production process of the diamond compact.
[0004] In order to fully mix the well-proportioned diamond mixed micro powder, a mixing method with hard alloy or ceramic grinding balls is usually used. In the process of ball milling and mixing, the friction and collision between the grinding balls and the tank will not only cause the powder to be broken and the particle size to be refined, but also cause pollution due to the wear of the grinding balls, which is often the main source of impurities in the micro powder. Generally speaking, the impurity content in the raw powder is 100-200 ppm, the impurity content in the mixed powder after ball milling is more than 1000 ppm, and the impurity content increases with the increase of the rotation speed and time of ball milling. In addition, impurities in the air can also be absorbed during the weighing and assembling process, and the original micro powder raw material itself may have a small amount of impurities, which will all lead to a decrease in the performance of the sintered diamond compact.
[0005] The fine powder impurities usually contain Fe, Al, Ni, Si and other metal and non-metal substances, and the fine powder manufacturers usually use acid boiling method to remove impurities from the fine powder, for example, the related art discloses a method of boiling the diamond fine powder with strong acid to dissolve the impurities, but this method is mainly aimed at the impurities with high content introduced in the production process of the fine powder due to sintering and crushing, and the acid boiling method is mainly aimed at a large amount of fine powder. However, since the diamond fine powder raw material for the diamond composite sheet has undergone a purification process before leaving the factory, the impurity content is usually low, and the diamond fine powder used for the diamond composite sheet is in small amount, therefore, the purification of the diamond fine powder used for the diamond composite sheet is not suitable for the acid boiling method. In addition, the acid boiling method also has problems of large acid / alkali consumption, low production efficiency, serious pollution, etc., and the acid solution itself can also introduce trace impurities.
[0006] In addition to the acid boiling method, the existing technology also has an electrolytic impurity removal method, which is suitable for large-scale production with high metal impurity content and large production batch, but for the mechanically crushed diamond fine powder, the proportion of impurity components is usually less than 3%, which is not suitable for the electrolytic purification process.
[0007] Therefore, in order to reduce the influence of the purity of the diamond fine powder on the performance of the diamond composite sheet, it is urgent to find a new diamond composite sheet and a preparation method thereof. SUMMARY
[0008] In view of the defects in the prior art, the technical problem solved by the present application is to provide a high-purity diamond composite sheet and a preparation method thereof, which can effectively reduce the impurity content in the diamond fine powder and greatly reduce the influence of impurities on the performance of the diamond composite sheet.
[0009] To achieve the above object, in a first aspect, the present application provides a high-purity diamond composite sheet, comprising diamond fine powder and cemented carbide matrix, wherein the diamond fine powder is pretreated by a ball-free mixing method.

[0011] Preferably, the ball-free mixing method uses ordinary ball-free mixing technology or acoustic resonance ball-free mixing technology.
[0012] Preferably, the diamond powder is pretreated by the ball-free mixing method, and then the uniformly mixed diamond powder is further purified by the acid mist distillation method.
[0013] Preferably, the acid mist distillation method comprises the following steps: placing the uniformly mixed diamond powder on a porous baffle in a purification bottle, the purification bottle being in communication with an acid distillation bottle for generating acid mist to purify the diamond powder.
[0014] Preferably, the purification bottle is also in communication with a high-purity water distillation bottle for generating water vapor to elute soluble impurities and residual acid from the diamond powder.
[0015] Preferably, the flow rate of the acid mist and the water vapor is 30-50 mL / min per 100 g of the mixed diamond powder.
[0016] Preferably, the acid distillation bottle contains an acid selected from at least one of hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid and nitric acid.
[0017] Preferably, the diamond powder is provided with polytetrafluoroethylene films on the top and bottom surfaces thereof for filtering the acid mist.
[0018] In a second aspect, the present application also provides a method for preparing a high-purity diamond composite sheet, comprising the following steps:
[0019] mixing the diamond powder uniformly by the ball-free mixing method;
[0020] purifying the uniformly mixed diamond powder;
[0021] mixing the purified diamond powder with a cemented carbide substrate to obtain a high-purity diamond composite sheet.
[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages:
[0023] (1) In the process of preparing the diamond composite sheet, the diamond powder is mixed uniformly by the ball-free mixing method, which effectively reduces the contamination of the diamond powder caused by the collision and friction between the balls and between the balls and the tank, thereby reducing the introduction of impurities in the mixing process of the diamond powder and greatly reducing the influence of the impurities on the performance of the diamond composite sheet. At the same time, the ball-free mixing can also avoid the breakage of coarse particles caused by the collision of the balls, so that the particle size distribution is changed, thereby affecting the performance of the diamond composite sheet.
[0024] (2) In the process of preparing diamond composite sheets, the present invention uses acid mist distillation to remove impurities from diamond micro powder. The acid mist distillation method can remove impurities in the micro powder to a large extent. Moreover, the acid vapor generated by acid mist distillation can avoid the introduction of impurities in the acid solution. Compared with acid boiling or electrolysis, it is more suitable for the further high-purity purification of a small amount of diamond micro powder for diamond composite sheets. It greatly reduces the impact of impurities in diamond micro powder on the performance of diamond composite sheets. In addition, the acid mist distillation method can reduce acid consumption, resulting in high production efficiency and less pollution. Attached Figure Description

[0032] To achieve the above technical effects, the general idea of the present application is as follows:

[0042] Preferably, the mixed diamond powder is subjected to particle size analysis to determine the uniformity of the mixing.
[0043] Preferably, the mixed diamond powder is subjected to particle size analysis to determine the uniformity of the mixing.
[0044] The acid mist distillation method can remove impurities in the diamond powder to a great extent, and the acid mist produced by the acid mist distillation method can avoid the introduction of impurities in the acid solution. Compared with the existing acid boiling method or electrolysis method, the acid mist distillation method is more suitable for further high-purity purification of a small amount of diamond powder for diamond composite sheets, and greatly reduces the influence of impurities in the diamond powder on the performance of the diamond composite sheet.

The acid mist generated by the acid liquid distillation bottle flows through the diamond powder in the purification bottle, and can fully contact and react with the impurities in the diamond powder. This not only improves the impurity removal efficiency, but also reduces the amount of acid loss and environmental pollution, and does not introduce impurities in the acid liquid into the diamond powder.
