Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of coating wire drawing die preparation, in particular to a new method for preparing a coating wire drawing die with relatively small pores. Background Art
[0002] A wire drawing die is a tool used during metal pressure processing to compress the metal's cross-sectional area and obtain the desired cross-sectional shape and size. As the aperture of the wire drawing decreases, friction and wear accelerate, necessitating the use of a diamond coating with high hardness, high wear resistance, low friction coefficient, and high surface finish. However, the currently commonly used large-cavity coating growth method for dies with smaller apertures has significant drawbacks during the preparation of wire drawing die coatings. Due to the small aperture of the die and the high temperature of the hot wire, hot gas diffuses outward during the coating growth process, preventing the reactive gas from fully reaching the aperture, making it difficult to meet the optimal conditions for diamond synthesis. Consequently, high-quality coatings cannot be formed in small-aperture dies, limiting the performance and application range of related products.
[0003] Based on this, a new method for preparing a relatively small-pore coated wire drawing die is now provided, which can eliminate the disadvantages of the existing technical solutions. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0029] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0030] In this embodiment, if Figures 1-4 As shown, a new method for preparing a relatively small-pore coated wire drawing die is described. A relatively small-pore cemented carbide wire drawing die core with a pore size of Φ0.1mm to Φ0.8mm is used as a substrate. The die core surface is ultrasonically cleaned with acetone, alkali solution, and deionized water to remove oil, impurities, and oxides to ensure the effectiveness of subsequent treatment and coating deposition.

The surface temperature of the tungsten steel mold core 5 is adjusted according to the temperature of the hot wire 6. The temperature range is set to 800-900°C, which is conducive to the formation and growth of diamond nuclei.

The volume ratio of methane to hydrogen is set to 1:20 to 1:50, and the total gas flow rate is set to 300 to 500 ml / min, which can be fine-tuned according to the size of the mold and the size of the reaction furnace chamber 1.

A plurality of drawing cavities are provided inside the reaction furnace chamber 1, and a plurality of high-temperature ceramic tubes 4 are placed inside the drawing cavities, and a plurality of tungsten steel mold cores 5 are placed inside the high-temperature ceramic tubes 4. The hot wire 6 is arranged horizontally along the inside of the tungsten steel mold core 5, and both ends of the hot wire 6 extend to the outside of the drawing cavity and are connected to the heat-resistant spring 7, and the other side of the heat-resistant spring 7 is connected to the heating electrode 8. , after the hot wire 6 is energized, it generates a high temperature of 2000-2300℃, decomposes the reaction gas, and at the same time, the heat-resistant spring 7 buffers the thermal stress, maintains the temperature stable, and promotes the reaction gas to decompose and react at a suitable temperature, so as to deposit and form a diamond coating on the surface of the tungsten steel mold core 5. The heating electrode 8 is arranged at the inlet and outlet positions of the wire drawing cavity. The heating electrode 8 is connected to the positive and negative poles of the power supply 9 through a cable. The positive pole of the power supply 9 is connected to one heating electrode 8, and the negative pole is connected to another heating electrode 8. The cable must be resistant to high temperature and well insulated. The connection parts must be well insulated and fixed to prevent short circuit and loosening. The power supply 9 can choose a power supply device with voltage stabilization and current stabilization function to ensure that it can continuously provide stable electric energy to the hot wire 6 during the entire working process, maintain the current required for the hot wire 6 to heat up, so that the output voltage and current fluctuation range should be controlled within a small range. The working current intensity can be determined according to the material, diameter, length and other parameters of the hot wire 6 to ensure that the circuit is always in a good conduction state;
[0041] Among them Figure 1 As shown, the air intake mechanism 3 includes an air intake channel 31, one end of which is fixedly connected to a plurality of air intake branch channels 32. The ends of the air intake branch channels 32 correspond to the inlet positions of the high-temperature ceramic tubes 4. The gas flow rate and pressure of the air intake branch channels 32 are adjusted according to the reaction requirements so that the reaction gas can enter each high-temperature ceramic tube 4 evenly and stably. A gas flow meter is provided on each air intake branch channel 32 to facilitate the detection of the gas flow rate. A valve body should also be provided on the air intake branch channel 32 to control the opening and closing state of the reaction gas.
[0042] Among them Figure 1 As shown, an air pump is provided on one side of the exhaust channel 2 to facilitate the transportation of the gas inside the reaction furnace chamber 1 and the drawing chamber to the outside of the reaction furnace chamber 1 to achieve an airflow effect;
[0043] Among them Figure 4 As shown, the high-temperature ceramic tube 4 includes a ceramic tube upper portion 41 and a ceramic tube lower portion 42, which enclose a cylindrical structure with a hollow interior. The ceramic tube upper portion 41 and the ceramic tube lower portion 42 are connected together by welding, mechanical connection or adhesive bonding, and a circumferential arrangement is used to automatically align the plurality of tungsten steel mold cores 5. The high-temperature ceramic tube 4 has good high-temperature resistance and insulation properties, providing a stable reaction environment for the tungsten steel mold core 5, so that it can smoothly interact with the reaction gas during the coating preparation process.
[0044] Among them Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the tungsten steel mold core 5 is set to a cylindrical shape, and a funnel-shaped through hole with a large opening facing the air intake mechanism 3 is set inside it;
[0045] Among them Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the heat-resistant spring 7 adopts a high-temperature alloy spring with good thermal conductivity, such as a spring made of copper alloy, nickel alloy, etc., which has low resistance and can reduce energy loss during current transmission. The spring must have appropriate elasticity. When the hot wire 6 expands and contracts due to temperature changes, it can always maintain close contact with the hot wire 6 and the heating electrode 8, which can buffer the stress caused by thermal expansion and contraction of the hot wire 6 and avoid breakage. The surface of the heat-resistant spring 7 is provided with an anti-oxidation coating. During installation, the hot wire 6 needs to be firmly wound around one end of the heat-resistant spring 7 to increase the contact area. The other end of the heat-resistant spring 7 is tightly connected to the heating electrode 8 and can be fixed by welding, crimping, etc. to ensure a tight connection.

[0053] 1. Preprocessing process:
[0054] A Φ0.5 mm YG4 tungsten steel mold core 5 having a cobalt content of 4% was selected as the substrate. The tungsten steel mold core 5 was placed in an acetone solution and cleaned for 30 minutes using an ultrasonic cleaning device with an ultrasonic frequency of 50 kHz and a power of 200 W.

The mold core was then ultrasonically oscillated for 40 minutes in an alcohol suspension containing nanodiamond particles, wherein the particle size of the nanodiamond particles was set to 8 nm and the mass fraction of the nanodiamond particles was set to 0.5%. A microscopic rough structure was formed on the mold core surface by etching. The surface cobalt content was detected by ICP-MS, and the roughness was measured.
[0055] 2. Hot Wire Chemical Vapor Deposition:
[0056] Argon and hydrogen in a ratio of 1:1 are transported to the interior of the reaction furnace chamber 1 at a flow rate of 200 ml / min. After the ventilation time reaches 10 minutes, the tungsten steel mold core 5 is installed, and methane and hydrogen in a ratio of 1:40 are transported to the reaction furnace chamber 1 at a total flow rate of 450 ml / min. The hot wire 6 is made of tantalum wire material, and the power supply 9 is used to make the temperature of the hot wire 6 reach 2100±50°C. The reaction pressure in the nucleation stage is set to 3.5KPa, the volume fraction of the carbon source gas is 5%, and the reaction time is 40 minutes, so that the surface temperature of the mold core reaches 820±10°C. The reaction pressure in the growth stage is set to 6.5KPa, the volume fraction of the carbon source gas is 2.5%, and the deposition time is 7 hours.

[0059] Using the traditional large-cavity hot-wire chemical vapor deposition method:
[0060] A Φ0.2 mm YG6 tungsten steel mold core 5 was selected as the substrate, and its cobalt content was 6%. The tungsten steel mold core 5 was pretreated according to Example 1. Conventional hot wire chemical vapor deposition was used with a non-directional airflow design. Methane and hydrogen were delivered to the reaction furnace chamber 1 at a ratio of 1:30 and a total flow rate of 400 ml / min. The power supply 9 was used to set the temperature of the hot wire 6 to 2200±50°C, so that the surface temperature of the mold core reached 850±10°C. SEM measurement showed that the coating thickness at the inlet of the diamond coating was approximately 10 μm. The uneven airflow resulted in an incomplete coating thickness at the outlet, and its bonding strength was <30N.
[0061] The conclusion is: the directional airflow design can significantly improve the uniformity of the coating inside the small hole, the cobalt removal pretreatment design can enhance the bonding force, and the nano-diamond suspension treatment can increase the nucleation density and reduce coating defects. It can effectively grow a good diamond coating inside the small hole mold, breaking through the bottleneck of traditional methods in the preparation of small hole mold coatings, facilitating batch production operations of coatings, and saving production investment costs.
