Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of tool machining, and particularly relates to a tool with in-situ surface self-generated micro-texture and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Disclosing the information of this background art section is only intended to enhance the overall understanding of the present invention, and it is not necessarily regarded as an admission or any form of implication that this information constitutes the prior art already known to those of ordinary skill in the art.

[0003] Tools play a very important role in the cutting process. The quality of a tool needs to be judged by its cutting performance and service life. Among them, tool wear is one of the factors affecting tool life and cutting performance. When machining difficult-to-machine materials, the friction and cutting heat between the tool and the workpiece will cause rapid wear of the tool, resulting in premature failure of the tool. The cutting efficiency also begins to decrease, and then the surface of the workpiece is damaged. Since it is difficult for the cutting fluid to enter the tool-chip contact area during high-speed cutting, it is still difficult to achieve an ideal degree of wear of the tool even under lubricated conditions. These reasons cause rapid tool wear and poor workpiece quality. In order to reduce friction and wear and improve tool life, micro-textured tools are used in more and more machining occasions. Micro-textured tools have the function of improving the surface lubrication state and reducing friction and wear, and are also more and more widely used in the engineering field.

[0004] A micro-textured tool is an innovative tool with microscopic textures or structures machined on the tool surface. As a technology in the field of precision machining, its definition usually involves introducing specific geometric structures on the tool surface or near-surface area, which can improve problems such as wear, short tool life, and low cutting efficiency that occur in the traditional tool cutting process, so as to improve the cutting performance of the tool. So far, the tool surface texturing technology has been successfully applied to turning, drilling, and milling operations. The micro-textures can be regular geometric shapes, such as circles, squares, or triangles, or irregular patterns. Their size, shape, and distribution pattern have a significant impact on the performance of the tool, such as friction, wear, chip control, and cutting heat. For example, it can reduce friction and wear and increase the load-bearing capacity.

[0005] For example, Chinese Patent Document CN103042375A discloses a processing method for preparing regular micro-textures on the surface of a metal matrix or coating, including mask preparation and texture processing; Mask preparation: S1: Select a metal or inorganic material as the mask plate. S2: Use a laser processing method to machine a pattern on the plate. Texture processing: S1: Grind and clean the surface of the metal matrix or coating. S2: Fix the mask to the surface of the metal matrix or coating to be processed, and use the micro-abrasive jet machining technology for erosion machining. This method has the advantages of wide application range and low cost, but its processing steps are cumbersome and the efficiency of micro-texture preparation is low.

[0006] The design process of surface micro-texture is highly related to the specific functions of any application scenarios that require texture. The quality of micro-texture is also greatly affected by the forming method. There are many existing micro-texture processing methods, but they have high costs, long processing cycles, and some micro-texture tools require adding lubricants to the texture. Therefore, suitable micro-texture forming methods and sizes have a significant impact on the performance of the tool. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In order to solve the deficiencies of the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a surface in-situ self-generated micro-texture tool and its preparation method. This method has the advantages of one-time forming of the micro-texture on the tool surface, higher preparation efficiency of the micro-texture tool, and good tool forming effect.

[0008] The preparation method of the in-situ self-generated micro-texture tool described in the present invention: Based on the tribology principle of micro-texture, design the micro-texture morphology, use laser processing technology to prepare micro-texture graphite paper. During the tool sintering process, replace the conventional graphite paper with micro-texture graphite paper, place micro-texture graphite paper on the upper and lower surfaces in contact with the powder respectively, and through the occupation of the micro-protrusions on the graphite paper in the tool material, form a micro-groove texture in-situ on the rake face of the tool. The micro-texture tool prepared by the preparation method provided by the present invention has good forming effect, high precision, high efficiency, good comprehensive mechanical properties, realizes the interweaving of hard cermet material surface and soft lubricating graphite, has good tool life, and the surface roughness of the machined workpiece is low, and the friction coefficient is significantly reduced in the friction experiment.

[0009] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: In the first aspect, the present invention provides a surface in-situ self-generated micro-texture tool, including a tool substrate, and at least one surface of the tool substrate is provided with micro-texture graphite paper; the thickness of the graphite paper is 0.1 - 0.5 mm.

[0010] Furthermore, micro-texture graphite papers are provided on both the upper and lower surfaces of the tool substrate.

[0011] Furthermore, the thickness of the graphite paper is 0.2 - 0.4 mm. Using graphite paper has low cost and high processing efficiency. If graphite is used, it is more difficult to process, and if graphite is placed in a spark plasma sintering device, there will be different degrees of overflow phenomenon. The graphite paper of the present invention, as a flexible intermediate layer, can better fill the tiny gaps between the powder and the micro-grooves.

[0012] In one or more embodiments, the micro-texture is of a groove type. Among them, in the groove-type micro-texture, the average groove width is 20 - 300 μm, preferably 80 - 150 μm, more preferably 95 - 130 μm, and specifically can be 95 μm, 98 μm, 100 μm, 105 μm, 106, 108, 110 μm, 115 μm, 120 μm, etc.; the average spacing is 20 - 300 μm, preferably 90 - 250 μm, more preferably 140 - 155 μm, and specifically can be 95 μm, 100 μm, 110 μm, 120 μm, 130 μm, 140 μm, 147 μm, 150 μm, 152 μm, 155 μm, 160 μm, 170 μm, 180 μm, 190 μm, 195 μm, 243 μm, etc.; the average depth is 5 - 150 μm, preferably 20 - 80 μm, more preferably 40 - 80 μm, and specifically can be 20 μm, 30 μm, 40 μm, 50 μm, 60 μm, 80 μm, etc.

[0013] Further, the groove type includes a straight line type.

[0014] In one or more embodiments, the tool substrate is a tool with a cemented carbide substrate. The cemented carbide substrate includes a (W,Ti)C-based metal substrate or a (WC-6Co)-based metal substrate, and specifically can be (W,Ti)C / Ni / Mo / Co or YG6 (WC-6Co), preferably (W,Ti)C / Ni / Mo / Co. The volume ratio of (W,Ti)C, Ni, Mo, and Co is (80 - 90):(2 - 5):(5 - 8):(4 - 7), preferably 85:3.5:6.5:5, that is, (W,Ti)C(85 vol%) / Ni(3.5 vol%) / Mo(6.5 vol%) / Co(5 vol%).

[0015] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned tool with surface in-situ self-generated micro-texture, including the following steps: S1. Prepare micro-textured graphite paper; S2. Place the micro-textured graphite paper and tool powder in a mold and sinter them to prepare a micro-textured tool blank; S3. Cut the micro-textured tool blank into a rough tool, and successively perform grinding and chamfering on the rough tool, and then polish it into shape.

[0016] In one or more embodiments, in step S1, the preparation process of the micro-textured graphite paper includes: designing the micro-texture morphology size on the tool surface, and using laser processing technology to prepare the micro-textured graphite paper.

[0017] Furthermore, the morphology size of the micro-texture on the tool surface needs to be designed according to the basic action mechanism of the micro-textured tool. Specifically, it is measured according to the cutting-edge-chip contact direction of the rake face of the tool and the tool wear position, and the influence of material forming during the sintering process of the tool matrix material is calculated. The basic morphology of the micro-texture on the tool surface is designed using drawing software (such as AutoCAD). Furthermore, in the laser processing technology, the spot diameter is 2 - 100 μm, the frequency is 10 - 100 kHz, the laser processing speed is 2 mm / s - 800 mm / s, and the laser processing power is 5 - 80 W.

[0018] Furthermore, in step S1, the groove width of the micro-textured graphite paper is 20 - 300 μm, preferably 80 - 110 μm, more preferably 95 - 105 μm, and specifically can be 80 μm, 90 μm, 100 μm, 110 μm, 120 μm, etc.; the spacing is 20 - 300 μm, preferably 90 - 260 μm, more preferably 100 - 250 μm, and specifically can be 100 μm, 150 μm, 200 μm, 250 μm, etc.; the depth is 5 - 200 μm, preferably 50 - 200 μm, more preferably 70 - 180 μm, and specifically can be 40 μm, 70 μm, 80 μm, 90 μm, 100 μm, 110 μm, 120 μm, 130 μm, 140 μm, 150 μm, 160 μm, 170 μm, 180 μm, etc.

[0019] In one or more embodiments, in step S2, the mold is a graphite mold. The graphite mold includes an upper punch and a lower punch.

[0020] Among them, the micro-textured graphite paper is placed on the upper and lower surfaces of the tool powder and fits tightly. When the micro-textured graphite paper and the tool powder are placed in the mold, from bottom to top are the lower punch, the micro-textured graphite paper, the tool powder, the micro-textured graphite paper, and the upper punch, so that finally the graphite paper containing micro-textures is formed on the upper and lower surfaces of the tool.

[0021] In one or more embodiments, in step S2, the tool powder is a composite powder of cermet materials, and its preparation process is not specifically limited. Taking (W,Ti)C / Ni / Mo / Co as an example, it is ultrasonically dispersed for 30 min in a certain proportion, high-energy ball milled for 48 h, dried for 48 h, and screened through a 100-mesh sieve for standby.

[0022] In one or more embodiments, in step S2, the micro-textured tool blank is disc-shaped. Furthermore, the diameter of the disc-shaped blank of the micro-textured tool is 25 - 35 mm, and the thickness is 3 - 5 mm.

[0023] In one or more embodiments, in step S2, the sintering is carried out in a vacuum atmosphere.

[0024] The densification degree, mechanical properties, etc. of the cermet prepared from the tool substrate in a vacuum atmosphere are the highest.

[0025] The sintering includes, but is not limited to, spark plasma sintering, hot pressing sintering, and hot isostatic pressing sintering. A certain pressure can be applied during the sintering process to ensure that the powder can be filled into the micro-textured graphite paper for forming.

[0026] Furthermore, the sintering temperature is 1300 - 1500 °C, preferably 1350 - 1450 °C, the holding time is 5 - 20 minutes, preferably 10 - 15 minutes, and the sintering pressure is 10 - 60 MPa, preferably 20 - 40 MPa.

[0027] In one or more embodiments, in step S3, the cutting is performed by wire electrical discharge machining. It is necessary to ensure that the main and secondary cutting edges of each cutting tip of the rough blank are parallel to the boundary of the square micro-textured unit, and the distance between the boundary and the micro-texture is maintained between 1 mm and 2 mm. The length of the rough blank of the tool cut out is 13 mm × width 13 mm × thickness 4 mm.

[0028] In one or more embodiments, in step S3, the rough blank of the tool is a cuboid, wherein the length and width are equal, and the upper and lower surfaces of the rough blank of the tool are micro-textured surfaces, and the remaining surfaces are non-micro-textured surfaces.

[0029] In one or more embodiments, in step S3, the grinding includes grinding the non-micro-textured surface and the micro-textured surface of the rough blank of the tool respectively; the grinding includes rough grinding and fine grinding.

[0030] Furthermore, the grinding treatment of the non-micro-textured surface of the rough blank of the tool is to perform rough grinding on the 4 non-micro-textured surfaces. A high-precision grinding machine is used for rough grinding. Specifically: The tool blank is rough ground successively with 200-mesh and 600-mesh diamond grinding wheels. The rough grinding is carried out in a way of mutual correction of the opposite surfaces. The rough grinding sequence is: First, rough grind the side surface without micro-texture, and then rough grind the parallel side surface. The feed per pass is 0.001 - 0.01 mm, preferably 0.004 - 0.006 mm. When the cumulative feed of the first pair of parallel side surfaces reaches 0.05 - 0.15 mm respectively, replace the other two parallel side surfaces for rough grinding. Observe with an optical microscope at any time during the rough grinding process. The magnification of the optical microscope is 5 times.

[0031] Further, the micro-textured surface of the rough tool blank is polished, specifically, the two micro-textured surfaces of the cut rough tool blank are rough-ground and finish-ground. Specifically: The two micro-textured surfaces of the cut tool blank are rough-ground and finish-ground with diamond sandpaper, and the diamond sandpaper is successively rough-ground and finish-ground with diamond sandpapers of different mesh numbers. Preferably, the mesh number is 200-1500 mesh, specifically 200 mesh, 800 mesh, and 1500 mesh.

[0032] In one or more embodiments, in step S3, the chamfering treatment is to chamfer the tool blank, and the chamfering radius is 0.5-1 mm, preferably 0.7-0.9 mm. A blade grinding machine is used for chamfering.

[0033] In one or more embodiments, in step S3, before polishing and shaping, the six surfaces of the tool blank are ground to remove the scratches formed on each surface during the rough grinding process. The grinding tool is a grinding glass with a specification of 1000 mesh, and a water-soluble diamond W0.5 grinding paste is used for manual grinding.

[0034] In one or more embodiments, in step S3, a fully automatic polishing machine is used to polish the tool blank, and the specification of the diamond polishing agent is W2.5 particle size.

[0035] In the method of the present invention, those not specifically limited can be in accordance with the prior art.

[0036] One or some of the above technical solutions have the following advantages or beneficial effects: (1) The preparation method of the surface in-situ self-generated micro-textured tool of the present invention combines the tool material sintering technology with the laser processing technology. After the tool material is sintered, the micro-textured tool can be prepared after cutting, rough grinding, finish grinding, grinding, and polishing, which improves the preparation efficiency of the micro-textured tool and has a low production cost.

[0037] (2) Based on the micro-texture tribology principle, the present invention designs the micro-texture morphology, uses the laser processing technology to prepare the micro-textured graphite paper. During the tool sintering process, the micro-textured graphite paper is used instead of the conventional graphite paper, and the micro-textured graphite paper is placed on the upper and lower surfaces of the contacting powder body respectively. Through the occupation of the micro-protrusions on the graphite paper in the tool material, the micro-groove texture is formed in-situ on the rake face of the tool. The micro-textured tool prepared by the preparation method provided by the present invention has good forming effect, high precision, high efficiency, and good comprehensive mechanical properties (hardness greater than 19 GPa, fracture toughness greater than 7 MPa·m 1 / 2 , flexural strength 800 MPa), realizes the interweaving of the hard cermet material surface and the soft lubricating graphite, has a good tool life, and the surface roughness of the machined workpiece is low, and the friction coefficient is significantly reduced in the friction experiment (the friction coefficient is as low as 0.13).

[0038] (3) The self-generated micro-textured tool prepared by the present invention has a good forming effect. Compared with preparing micro-textures after the tool is sintered and formed, the rake face of the in-situ self-generated micro-textured tool has no obvious defects, and a surface residual compressive stress is formed on the rake face, with stronger comprehensive mechanical properties, overcoming the problem of surface damage in the micro-texture tool preparation technology.

[0039] (4) In the self-generated micro-textured tool prepared by the present invention, the graphite paper and the tool material matrix are sintered into an integral body during the sintering process. During the post-forming treatment of the tool, the graphite is preserved in the grooves, and in the friction experiment, the dual coupling effect of the micro-texture and the graphite can be achieved.

[0040] (5) Compared with using a micro-mill to prepare a graphite punch in the prior art, the present invention uses laser processing of graphite paper. The diameter of the milling cutter limits the minimum feature size (usually ≥50 μm), while the laser spot diameter is small, with higher precision, and the preparation process is simpler; in addition, the processing efficiency of laser processing of graphite paper is higher, and if processing a graphite punch, the processing time will be significantly extended.

[0064] Comparative Example 3 As described in Example 1, the preparation method is the same as that of Example 1, except that a graphite indenter is used instead of the micro - textured graphite paper. Compared with the preparation of micro - textured graphite paper, the preparation time of the micro - textured graphite indenter is greatly extended, the surface ablation is serious, and the micro - texture forming effect is poor after sintering and forming, and there is no complete micro - texture. The cermet tool material is processed through cutting - rough grinding - fine grinding - lapping - polishing steps to prepare a non - textured tool. The cermet tool material is processed into a ceramic spline of 3mm×4mm×30mm through cutting - rough grinding - fine grinding - lapping - polishing steps, and its mechanical properties are measured as follows: hardness 15.31GPa, fracture toughness 4.85MPa·m 1 / 2 , flexural strength 520.16MPa.
