Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of metal material processing, and in particular to a powder high-speed steel deep hole drill with high hardness, wear resistance and toughness and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The drill bit used in drilling operations is a critical component of machine tools. It is typically made of high-speed steel (HSS), a high-alloy tool steel containing high amounts of tungsten, chromium, and aluminum, commonly known as sharp steel or white steel. Drilling is a significant component of metal cutting operations, significantly higher than milling. Drilling is an even more common process on certain flexible production lines and machining centers. However, rapid wear of the cutting edge is a significant factor limiting drill quality and drill bit life.

[0003] Application publication number: CN 115971544 A, patent name: A high-speed steel drill bit and its preparation method, which adopts an inner and outer surrounding structure to remove the heat generated by the drill bit during operation to avoid mutual interference through the internal conformal cooling flow channel, thereby achieving uniform heat dissipation and improving the drilling efficiency and service life of the drill bit. A low-power, slow scanning speed laser additive manufacturing process is adopted to reduce the temperature gradient and residual stress during molding. Laser remelting is further combined to solve the deformation and cracking problems of high-speed steel. At the same time, surface laser quenching technology is used to prepare a high-performance high-speed steel drill bit with a hard and wear-resistant surface and a high-strength and high-toughness core. However, the drill bit does not fundamentally solve the problems of traditional carbide drill bits in deep hole machining of cast iron crankshafts, such as rapid tool wear, especially on 5511 high-strength cast iron, and unstable surface quality. At the same time, the traditional ratio of high alloy elements (such as W, Mo, and Co) leads to insufficient toughness, making it difficult to cope with the high impact load of deep hole drilling. At the same time, it cannot solve the problem of high wear resistance and thermal stability of the drill bit material. Therefore, it is necessary to design a powder high-speed steel deep hole drill with high hardness, wear resistance and toughness and its preparation method to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to propose a powder high-speed steel deep hole drill with high hardness, wear resistance and toughness and a preparation method thereof, so as to solve the problem that the high impact load of deep hole drilling and the drill bit material must have high wear resistance and thermal stability.

[0005] Based on the above objectives, the present invention provides a powder high-speed steel deep hole drill with high hardness, wear resistance and toughness, characterized in that: the drill bit base is composed of C (1-3%), W (10-15%), Mo (2-5%), Cr (3-5%), Co (9-13%), V (3-6%) and 1.5-2.5% La2O3 nanoparticles, and the density is ≥99% after hot isostatic pressing.

[0006] A further improvement of the present invention is that the composite coating is a TiAlN / TiSiN multilayer structure with a layer thickness of 2-30 nm and a layer thickness ratio of TiAlN:TiSiN=1:2, and the friction coefficient is reduced to below 0.3.

[0007] A further improvement of the present invention is: Step 1: Preheating stage, temperature range: 730~845℃, keep warm for 30~60 minutes to avoid thermal shock, heat the blank evenly and prevent internal stress concentration; Step 2: Hot isostatic pressing sintering process: pressure ≥ 150MPa, temperature 1350-1450℃, holding time 2-3 hours, density ≥ 99%; Step 3: High temperature annealing stage, temperature control: 850~880℃, holding time: 1~2 hours / mm, to promote the full dissolution of carbides in austenite, laying the foundation for subsequent spheroidization; after vacuum annealing, carbides are dispersed, improving the hardness of the matrix, and the hardness after annealing is ≤285HBW; Step 4: Quenching; Step 5: Tempering; Step 6: Isothermal treatment; Step 7: Cooling stage.

[0008] A further improvement of the present invention is: vacuum degree monitoring: maintaining a vacuum degree <1×10⁻³ Pa to prevent abnormal precipitation of carbides caused by trace oxygen.

[0009] A further improvement of the present invention is that the quenching process in step 4 is performed at a pressure of ≥150 MPa, a temperature of 1180-1220° C., and a holding time of 2-3 hours.

[0010] A further improvement of the present invention is that the tempering process in step five is carried out at a furnace temperature of 540-560° C., and the final hardness can reach 67-70 HRC.

[0011] A further improvement of the present invention is that the isothermal treatment process in step six is ​​as follows: the temperature and time are: 730~750℃, and the heat preservation is 1~2 hours, which promotes the decomposition of austenite into pearlite, refines the structure, shortens the annealing cycle by more than 50% compared with ordinary annealing, and maintains hardness uniformity.

[0012] A further improvement of the present invention is that the cooling process in step seven is furnace cooling to 500°C and then air cooling, or graded cooling is adopted, such as staying in a salt bath at 600-650°C for 10-20 minutes, to avoid cracking caused by rapid cooling and ensure structural uniformity.

[0013] The drill bit of the present invention fundamentally solves the problems of traditional carbide drill bits in deep hole machining of cast iron crankshafts, such as rapid tool wear, especially unstable surface quality on 5511 high-strength cast iron. At the same time, the high ratio of alloy elements ensures toughness and can cope with the high impact load of deep hole drilling. The drill bit material produced has high wear resistance and thermal stability. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
