Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of powder metallurgy, and specifically relates to a plate-shaped crystal reinforced YT-type cemented carbide and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] YT-type cemented carbide (generally referring to a composite material containing carbides such as TiC and TaC added to WC-Co cemented carbide) is widely used in cutting tools, mining drilling, and wear-resistant components due to its excellent hardness, wear resistance, and high-temperature stability. However, traditional YT-type cemented carbide has relatively low toughness and is prone to brittle fracture or chipping when subjected to impact loads or high-stress conditions, thus affecting its service life and reliability.

[0003] To improve the toughness of YT-type cemented carbides, existing technologies mainly use the following methods: (1) optimizing the binder phase (such as adjusting the Co content or adding elements such as Ni and Cr); (2) introducing nanostructures or gradient structures to enhance the synergistic effect of strength and toughness; and (3) adding second-phase reinforcements (such as whiskers, fibers, or platelets) to improve crack propagation resistance. However, these methods often sacrifice some hardness or wear resistance while improving toughness, making it difficult to achieve a significant improvement in overall performance.

[0004] Research has found that plate-like tungsten carbide, due to its unique morphology and crystal orientation, can act as a toughening agent in cemented carbide, similar to a "brick bridge structure," effectively dissipating fracture energy through crack deflection, branching, and pullout mechanisms. However, the existing preparation process for plate-like WC is complex, and its dispersion, interfacial bonding, and mechanism of influence on mechanical properties in YT-based cemented carbide remain unclear, limiting its practical application.

[0005] Therefore, developing a YT-type cemented carbide based on plate-like crystal tungsten carbide reinforcement, by regulating the size, distribution and interface properties of the plate-like crystals, significantly improving the toughness while maintaining high hardness and wear resistance, has important scientific significance and engineering application value.
