Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of production and processing of boron carbide, and particularly to a boron carbide surface coating device with high automation and intelligence levels. Background Art

[0002] Boron carbide is a superhard material whose hardness is second only to diamond and cubic boron nitride. Boron carbide products after being calcined with other binding materials are widely used in various industries. However, due to the structural characteristics of boron carbide itself, during the mixing process with other binders, its fusion is not very sufficient, lacking a strong composite holding effect, resulting in the occurrence of the problem of shedding between particles and between the binder. In addition, during the production process of boron carbide products, calcination will also cause boron carbide to oxidize, thereby affecting the quality of the final product and reducing its service life.

[0003] To solve the above problems, methods for coating boron carbide have emerged in the market to improve the oxidation resistance and binding property of boron carbide with binders. The traditional boron carbide coating device first pre-treats boron carbide particles, and then mixes the coating raw materials with the boron carbide raw materials and performs pressure calcination under pressure to achieve the binding and fusion of the coating material with the surface of the boron carbide particles. Finally, after the surface of the produced boron carbide raw material is combined with the coating layer, its oxidation resistance, wear resistance and other properties are improved. However, for tiny particulate boron carbide raw materials, there are problems and defects in material dispersion during the traditional coating process, resulting in low efficiency during the coating process, and ultimately strict process control is required for coating.

[0004] In this regard, some methods such as liquid precipitation coating have emerged currently. These methods use coating liquids to grind boron carbide particles, and then use heating, mixing and stirring and other methods to achieve the coating process after chemical reaction. However, during the overall operation of the equipment, there are defects such as low transfer efficiency and low coating rate of the final product. Whether using heat treatment or liquid chemical reaction methods, traditional methods all have some defects, including low overall coherence, reduced working and operating efficiency, low integration level, high energy consumption or low transfer, mechanization and automation levels.

[0005] Therefore, the present invention provides a boron carbide surface coating device with a simple structure, which improves the bonding degree and composite degree during the raw material production process, has a high overall intelligence level, high equipment production coherence, simultaneously improves the oxidation resistance of the particulate raw materials themselves, improves the final quality of the product, prevents the corrosion of the binder and boron carbide, improves the oxidation resistance of boron carbide particles during their own calcination process, has high finished product quality, realizes waste heat utilization and reduces energy consumption, and has a broad market prospect.
