Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of ceramic technology, specifically to a non-magnetic high-entropy alloy-bonded cermet and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] (Ti,W)C-based cermets possess high hardness, good wear resistance, and chemical stability, and have been widely used in cutting tools and wear-resistant parts. Cermets are mainly composed of a ceramic phase and a binder. The type and content of the binder phase largely determine the overall performance of the cermet. Commonly used binders in cermets include Ni, Co, or Ni-Co. However, Ni and Co are ferromagnetic at room temperature, and cermets using them as binders have certain shortcomings in terms of non-magnetism, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance, limiting their application in electronic components, magnetic powder processing, and other fields.

[0003] High-entropy alloys possess superior properties such as high strength, good corrosion resistance, and good wear resistance, and have a wide range of compositional designs, making them very suitable for replacing Ni, Co, or Ni-Co as binder phases. However, high-entropy alloys exhibit a slow diffusion effect, and the dissolution and diffusion behavior of cermets using them as binder phases during sintering is complex. Therefore, controlling the magnetic and mechanical properties of cermets is quite difficult. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is that high-entropy alloys have a slow diffusion effect, and the dissolution and diffusion behavior of metal ceramics with them as binder phases during sintering is complex. Therefore, it is difficult to control the magnetic and mechanical properties of metal ceramics. This invention provides a non-magnetic high-entropy alloy-bonded metal ceramic and its preparation method to solve the above problems.

[0005] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A non-magnetic high-entropy alloy-bonded metal-ceramic, comprising the following raw materials:

[0007] (Ti,W)C ceramic phase 50–84.5 wt.%, alloy binder 15–32 wt.%, Cr3C 20–8 wt.%, and Mo 0–12 wt.%.

[0008] The alloy adhesive is at least one of FeCoCrNiMo, FeCoCrNi, and CrFeNiMo.

[0009] This invention uses (Ti,W)C as the ceramic phase and at least one of CrFeNiMo, FeCoCrNiMo, and FeCoCrNi as the binder phase; more preferably, Mo can be added as the binder phase and Cr3C2 as an additive. Due to the weak interaction between the constituent elements, the high-entropy alloy exhibits good stability in corrosive environments and is not easily oxidized or rusted. High-entropy alloys can achieve excellent physical, chemical, and mechanical properties by adjusting their composition and structure. This invention utilizes the cocktail effect and the corrosion resistance, high hardness, and high strength properties of high-entropy alloys to adjust the comprehensive properties of cermets. During the sintering process of cermets, the large-scale solid solution of antiferromagnetic elements Cr, paramagnetic elements Ti, W, and / or Mo in the binder phase achieves the purpose of non-magnetism.

[0010] Further optionally, the raw material composition includes:

[0011] ((Ti,W)C ceramic phase 58–70 wt.), alloy binder 30 wt., Cr3C 20–5 wt., and Mo 0–10 wt.)

[0012] Further optionally, the raw material composition includes: 57-60 wt.% (Ti,W)C ceramic phase, 30 wt.% alloy binder, 2-5 wt.% Cr3C2, and 5-10 wt.% Mo;

[0013] The alloy adhesive used is FeCoCrNiMo.

[0014] A method for preparing a non-magnetic high-entropy alloy-bonded metal-ceramic, comprising the following steps:

[0015] The raw materials are wet-milled to obtain a slurry, which is then dried, shaped, and sintered to prepare a non-magnetic high-entropy alloy-bonded metal ceramic.

[0016] Further optionally, the wet grinding process involves bonding non-magnetic high-entropy alloys to metal ceramics using anhydrous ethanol as the process control agent; the wet abrasive ball ratio is 6:1 to 8:1, the rotation speed is 200 rpm to 220 rpm, and the wet grinding time is 36 h to 60 h.

[0017] Alternatively, a drying process may be performed: the drying temperature is 79℃~90℃, and the drying time is 8h~15h.

[0018] Further, optionally, sintering treatment: sintering temperature of 1420℃~1450℃, sintering time of 60min~80min, and maintaining the vacuum degree in the furnace at 10 -2 Pa~10 -1 Pa.

[0019] Alternatively, the alloy binder in the raw material is obtained by the following preparation method, which includes the following steps:

[0020] The desired metal element powders of Fe, Cr, and Ni, as well as at least one of Mo and Co, are mixed in an equimolar ratio, wet-milled under an inert atmosphere, and then dried under vacuum to obtain the final product.

[0021] Further optionally, wet milling is performed: 0.5% to 4% anhydrous ethanol is used as the process control agent; the ball-to-material ratio is 15:1, the rotation speed is 300 r / min to 350 r / min, and the wet milling time is 40 h to 60 h.

[0022] Alternatively, the vacuum drying temperature is 79℃~90℃, and the drying time is 8h~15h.

[0023] The present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0086] Performance testing

[0087] 1. Testing Method

[0088] (1) Bending strength: The universal testing machine is used to test the three-point bending strength of the metal ceramic specimen. The specimen is placed on the two support columns (span: 14.5 mm) on the testing machine fixture, and pressure is applied to the center of the specimen until the specimen breaks. The bending strength of the specimen is then measured.

[0089] (2) Hardness: The hardness of the metal ceramic sample was tested using a Rockwell hardness tester with a load of 60 kg and a loading time of 5 s.

[0090] (3) Magnetic properties: The MH curve of the metal ceramic sample was tested at room temperature (300K) in an external magnetic field range of -20kOe to 20kOe using a comprehensive physical property testing system (PPMS).

[0091] 2. Test Results

[0092] (1) The test results of strength and flexural strength of the samples provided in Examples 1-7 and Comparative Examples 1-2 are shown in Table 1.

[0093] Table 1. Strength and flexural strength test results of the samples provided in Examples 1-7 and Comparative Example 1

[0094]

[0095]

[0096] (2) Magnetic test results are as follows Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown.

[0097] like Figure 1As shown, the cermet samples prepared using this method exhibit uniform microstructure. Ball milling ensures uniform dispersion of the high-entropy alloy powder and ceramic phase powder, and vacuum sintering technology further homogenizes the microstructure of the sintered cermet body. Under vacuum conditions, the material surface is subjected to high-energy thermal radiation and electron bombardment, causing a change in the growth direction of the internal grains, thus forming a more uniform microstructure.

[0098] like Figure 2 As shown, the cermet prepared by this invention is non-magnetic at room temperature and has low magnetic susceptibility. By using a FeCoCrNiMo high-entropy alloy as a binder phase and Cr3C2 as an additive, the magnetism of the cermet is weakened by the solid solution of antiferromagnetic Cr and paramagnetic elements such as Ti and W in the binder phase.

[0099] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of the present invention. It should be understood that the above description is only a specific embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
