Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of refractory metal composite materials, and in particular relates to a type of high-strength, high-hardness, wear-resistant molybdenum-based material and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Molybdenum metal is widely used in aerospace, equipment manufacturing, the nuclear industry, and other fields due to its high melting point (2620°C), excellent high-temperature mechanical properties, high-temperature creep resistance, alkali metal compatibility, and good corrosion resistance. However, pure molybdenum has defects such as a body-centered cubic structure with few slip systems, high resistance to dislocation movement, and the accumulation of impurity elements at grain boundaries, making it difficult to improve the material's mechanical properties. Furthermore, its brittle-ductile transition temperature is near room temperature, making the material extremely brittle, further reducing its mechanical properties and limiting its use in the nuclear industry.
[0003] In order to effectively improve the mechanical properties of pure molybdenum, researchers currently usually use methods such as doping pure molybdenum with alloying elements such as rhenium and adding ZrO2 to improve its performance. For example, patent document No. 202411698701.7 discloses a molybdenum-rhenium alloy containing a zirconium dioxide reinforcement phase that inhibits abnormal grain growth and its preparation process. Liquid phase doping is used to achieve atomic-level mixing of molybdenum and rhenium. The addition of ZrO2 makes the microstructure of the molybdenum-rhenium alloy more uniform and fine, increases the recrystallization temperature, slows down the abnormal growth of sintered grains of the molybdenum-rhenium alloy, and improves the high-temperature tensile strength and elongation of the molybdenum-rhenium alloy. However, this method requires two stages of hydrogen reduction, cold treatment, etc. The static pressing, pressureless sintering, and hot isostatic pressing are used to obtain zirconium oxide-reinforced molybdenum-rhenium alloy, which is then subjected to high-temperature rolling and recrystallization annealing treatment. However, the preparation process is complex. Patent document No. 202510116664.2 discloses a method for synthesizing oxide-dispersed reinforced molybdenum-rhenium alloy by liquid-liquid doping process, which requires cold isostatic pressing, high-temperature hydrogen sintering, forging and swaging to obtain rods. This can significantly improve the performance of the alloy at high temperatures, but it also has the defect of a complex preparation process. Therefore, how to provide a method for preparing a molybdenum-based material that can simplify the process and obtain a molybdenum-based material with the comprehensive properties of high strength, high hardness and wear resistance has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently.

Figure 3 As shown, the friction coefficients of Examples 1-2, 1-5, and 1-8 were measured to be 0.466, 0.524, and 0.568, respectively, which are significantly lower than the friction coefficient of pure molybdenum of 0.7. It can be seen that the addition of second phase particles to pure molybdenum can significantly improve the wear resistance of the material. Among them, the friction coefficient after adding TiB2 is the lowest and the friction performance is the best. The friction performance after adding ZrB2 is better, and the friction performance after adding ZrC is second. All of them provide a certain performance basis for molybdenum alloys to serve in wear-resistant environments.
[0103] The phase composition structure of the molybdenum-based materials prepared in Examples 2-1, 2-2, and 2-3 was tested by X-ray diffractometer. The test results are as follows: Figure 4 As shown, from Figure 4 It can be seen that the physical phase composition structure of the molybdenum-based materials prepared in Examples 2-1, 2-2, and 2-3 is all a single phase of Mo, Mo is a body-centered cubic structure, and the relative intensity of the characteristic diffraction peak of the (200) crystal plane gradually increases, indicating that the degree of orientation along the (200) crystal plane increases. Due to the small amount of second phase particles added, no second phase was detected.
[0104] The microstructure of the molybdenum-based materials prepared in Examples 2-1, 2-2, and 2-3 was tested using an optical microscope (OM). The test results are as follows: Figure 5 As shown, from Figure 5 It can be seen that the molybdenum-based material structure of Example 2-1 is basically dense, but there are some unmelted holes and cracks; the molybdenum-based material structures of Examples 2-2 and 2-3 are more dense, with a small number of keyholes or pores, and no cracks are observed.
[0105] The element distribution of the molybdenum-based materials of Examples 2-3 parallel to the printing direction was tested using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The test results are as follows: Figure 6 As shown, it can be seen that the various elements in the molybdenum-based material are evenly distributed.
[0106] In the embodiments and comparative examples of the present invention, an automatic turret Vickers hardness tester (model: 452SVA) was used, and the indenter was a regular quadrangular pyramid diamond indenter. The test force was 5 kgf to test the hardness of the molybdenum-based materials of Examples 1-1 to 1-9 and Comparative Example 1. The test force was 1 kgf to test the hardness of the molybdenum-based materials of Examples 2-1 to 2-3. The loading time was 10 s. The test method was in accordance with the national standard GB / T 4340.1-2024. A special balance (model: ATX224) was used to measure the density of the sample according to the Archimedes drainage method. A universal electronic testing machine (model: C45.105Y) was used to test the mechanical properties of the sample. The experimental rate was 0.2 mm / min, the preload was 30 N, and the test method was in accordance with the national standard GB / T 7314-2017. The measured partial stress-strain curves are shown in Figure 2. Figure 7 and Figure 8 The specific performance test data is shown in Table 1.
[0107] Table 1 Properties of molybdenum-based materials
[0108]
[0109] It can be seen from Table 1 that, in combination with Comparative Example 1 and Examples 1-1, 1-2 and 1-3, the density of the prepared molybdenum-based material is high, and with the increase in the amount of the second-phase particle TiB2 added, the hardness, yield strength and compressive strength of the molybdenum-based material gradually increase, but the compressive strain first increases slightly and then decreases significantly, indicating that the plasticity of the material decreases, which is mainly due to the dispersion strengthening effect and grain boundary stabilization effect of TiB2 and Mo2B, which increase the hardness and strength but reduce the plasticity of the material; in combination with Comparative Example 1, Examples 1-4, 1-5 and 1-6, it can be seen that the density of the prepared molybdenum-based material is high, and with the increase in the amount of the second-phase particle ZrB2 added, the hardness, yield strength and compressive strength of the molybdenum-based material gradually increase, but the compressive strain first increases slightly and then decreases significantly, indicating that the plasticity of the material decreases. The hardness, yield strength and compressive strength of the molybdenum-based material gradually increase, but the compressive strain first decreases significantly, indicating that the plasticity of the material decreases. This is mainly due to the dispersion strengthening and grain boundary stabilization of ZrB2 and Mo2B, which improve the hardness and strength but reduce the plasticity of the material. Combining Comparative Example 1, Examples 1-7, 1-8 and 1-9, it can be seen that the prepared molybdenum-based material has a high density, and with the increase in the addition amount of the second phase particles ZrC, the hardness, yield strength and compressive strength of the molybdenum-based material gradually increase, but the compressive strain first decreases and then increases. This is mainly due to the dispersion strengthening and grain boundary stabilization of ZrC and Mo2C, which improve the hardness and strength but reduce the plasticity of the material. Combining Examples 1-1 to 1-9, it can be seen that the hardness and compressive strength of the molybdenum-based material with the addition of the second phase particles TiB2 are the highest, and the comprehensive performance is the best. In particular, the addition of 1wt% TiB2 has better hardness and compressive strength, as well as the best plasticity. The second is the addition of 3wt% ZrC, which has better hardness and compressive strength, as well as the best plasticity.
[0110] In combination with Examples 2-1, 2-2 and 2-3, it can be seen that the prepared molybdenum-based material has high density, high hardness, yield strength and compressive strength, indicating that the addition of alloying elements Re and second-phase particles TiB2 to the Mo base combined with specific selective laser melting process parameters can improve the hardness, yield strength and compressive strength of the Mo-based material, and can reduce the adverse effects on the plasticity of the material. In particular, in Example 2-2, the prepared molybdenum-based material has the best plasticity and the compressive strength reaches more than 1.2GPa.
[0111] The molybdenum-based materials in Examples 2-3 were characterized by EBSD. Figure 9 As shown in the figure, although the microstructure of the molybdenum-based material is still columnar crystals, it is different from the common columnar crystals (about 200μm). After adding the second phase particles, the columnar crystals are suppressed and the grains are refined. Using the equivalent circle diameter algorithm, the grain size range is 1.43-89.72μm, and the average grain size is 42μm.
[0112] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
