Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the field of ceramic materials, in particular to a preparation method of a high-precision gel-injection pressureless-sintering silicon carbide ceramic water jet abrasive tube. BACKGROUND

[0002] The abrasive tube is the key to form the abrasive jet. For a long time, the high-pressure abrasive jet abrasive tube has been a problem in the water jet field in China. So far, the service life of the abrasive tube for cutting and the front mixed abrasive jet nozzle has not reached a satisfactory level.

[0003] The abrasive tube on the market is generally made of composite tungsten carbide material. However, compared with tungsten carbide material, silicon carbide ceramic material not only has excellent corrosion resistance, high wear resistance and low friction coefficient, but also has the best high-temperature mechanical properties (strength, creep resistance, etc.) among known ceramic materials, and has a lower price, so it is more suitable for preparing the abrasive tube.

[0004] However, there is almost no silicon carbide ceramic water jet abrasive tube on the market, and the few existing ones are basically first prepared into the external shape of the water jet abrasive tube by a pressing forming method, and then further processed by a mechanical processing method. However, this method has many defects such as low yield, subsequent mechanical processing difficulty, low economic benefit, energy waste and the like. How to use a suitable forming method to prepare a high-performance silicon carbide ceramic water jet abrasive tube, improve its yield, ensure its precision and help its batch production is a problem to be solved in the market.

[0103]

[0104] Performance test

[0105] The samples of Examples 1-9 and Comparative Example 1 were sampled and subjected to the following performance tests:

[0106] (1) Surface condition after drying

[0107] The wet blanks were subjected to drying treatment, and the condition of the dry blanks after drying was observed and recorded, and the results are recorded in Table 2.

[0108] (2) Bending strength

[0109] The bending strength of the samples was tested according to the detection standard of GB / T 6569-2006 Fine Ceramic Bending Strength Test Method, and the test was performed three times at room temperature for each sample, and the average value was taken, and the test results were filled in Table 2.

[0110] (3) Hardness

[0111] The detection was performed using a Vickers hardness tester according to the standard of GB 16534-2009 Fine Ceramic Room Temperature Hardness Test Method, the Vickers hardness of the sample was calculated, each sample was tested three times, and the average value was taken after measurement, and the results are recorded in Table 2.

[0112] Table 2 Test results of samples of Examples 1-9 and Comparative Example 1

[0113]

[0114]

[0115] As can be seen from Table 1, the surfaces of the samples of Examples 1-3 are free of cracking, the bending strength is 360 MPa or more, and the hardness is 25 or more, indicating that the silicon carbide ceramic water jet sand pipe prepared by the application has good stability and strength.

[0116] In the preparation of modified carbon nanotubes of Example 4 and Example 5, the carbon nanotubes, white carbon black, methacrylic acid and zinc oxide are not within the scope defined by the application. When the content of methacrylic acid is too low, the content of active groups connected to the surface of the carbon nanotubes is low, making it difficult to further improve the dispersion performance of the carbon nanotubes. At the same time, the etching effect on the surface of the carbon nanotubes is difficult to further improve, making it difficult to further improve the roughness of the carbon nanotubes, and the combination ability in the system decreases, affecting the product quality; when the content of methacrylic acid is too high, the etching of the carbon nanotubes is too large, affecting the stability of the carbon nanotubes, so the overall stability of the system decreases, therefore, the performance of Example 4 and Example 5 decreases.

[0117] The mass ratio between the modified carbon nanotubes and the graphene composite silicon carbide in the preparation of the modified silicon carbide powder in Example 6 and Example 7 is not within the range defined in the present application. When the content of the modified carbon nanotubes is too high or too low, the stability of the prepared premix solution is affected, thereby causing the quality of the prepared product to decrease, and thus the performance of Example 6 and Example 7 is decreased.

[0118] The modified silicon carbide powder in Example 8 is obtained by mixing silicon carbide and graphene. The combination between the ordinary mixed silicon carbide and graphene is poor, and the graphene is aggregated in the system, thereby causing the stability to decrease. Therefore, the quality of the prepared water jet sand pipe product is also decreased, and thus the performance of Example 8 is decreased.

[0119] In Example 9, the modified carbon nanotubes are replaced by ordinary carbon nanotubes in the preparation of the modified silicon carbide composite powder. The surface of the unmodified carbon nanotubes has no more active groups, and the compatibility in the system is difficult to improve. At the same time, the surface is not etched, and the roughness is difficult to improve. The combination in the system is decreased, thereby affecting the quality of the product, and thus the performance of Example 9 is decreased.

[0120] In Comparative Example 1, the modified silicon carbide powder is replaced by ordinary silicon carbide powder. The compatibility and connection strength of the ordinary silicon carbide powder are difficult to improve, and thus the quality of the prepared product is difficult to improve. Therefore, the performance of Comparative Example 1 is decreased.

[0121] The specific embodiments are merely an explanation of the present application, and are not a limitation of the present application. Through the above description, relevant personnel can make various changes and modifications without deviating from the technical concept of the present application.
