TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of ceramic grinding ball processing, in particular to a ceramic ball blank infinite dimension suspension pressure forming process. BACKGROUND
[0002] Ceramic grinding balls have been widely used in powder grinding industry. For grinding balls with a diameter greater than 30mm, the ball blank is usually pressed by dry pressing forming technology. Taking alumina ceramic grinding ball as an example, it has high hardness, small wear, and no invasion to powder, but compared with steel grinding ball, it has lower density, lower grinding kinetic energy, and lower grinding efficiency. Taking zirconia ceramic grinding ball as an example, its density is higher than that of alumina ceramic grinding ball, but still lower than that of steel grinding ball. The dry pressing forming process of the ball blank can only be pressed in one dimension and two dimensions, resulting in anisotropy of the ball blank structure and strength, and problems such as inconsistent density in each dimension, low strength, eccentricity of gravity center, existence of pressing line in the blank body, poor roundness, etc.
[0003] CN202310819423.5 discloses a high-iron-content wear-resistant ceramic grinding ball, but the high iron oxide component of the grinding ball easily introduces iron impurities during the ball milling process, resulting in low purity of the discharged material. CN201710586743.5 discloses a metal and ceramic composite grinding medium for a ball mill and a preparation method thereof, which uses a dense metal ball as the core and a multi-layer coated ceramic layer and is pressed into a blank by isostatic pressing, resulting in significant shrinkage of the metal ball core relative to the ceramic shell during the cooling stage after firing, which reduces the bonding interface strength. CN202410748905.0 discloses an alumina ceramic grinding ball with adjustable specific gravity and a preparation method thereof, which uses metal powder and alumina ceramic granulation powder mixed in proportion to form a core after heat treatment, and alumina ceramic powder is rolled and coated to form a blank. The density of the ball is not superior to that of the dry pressing blank process.
[0004] There is no relevant patent or literature reported on the pressing forming of ball blank in infinite dimensions.
[0005] How to integrate the specific gravity advantage of steel grinding ball and the hardness and non-invasion advantage of ceramic grinding ball into one, and to implement infinite dimension pressing of the ball blank, has become a technical problem to be solved by the present application.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0061] The preferred embodiments of the application are specifically described below in combination with the drawings, wherein the drawings form a part of the application and are used together with the embodiments of the application to explain the principles of the application, but are not used to limit the scope of the application.
[0062] The application aims to realize a high specific gravity ceramic ball for grinding, from two paths of preparation of an embedded metal mesh grid ball core and infinite dimension suspension pressure balling, and provides a ceramic ball blank infinite dimension suspension pressure forming process, which comprises the following steps.
[0063] Step 1, preparation of a metal mesh grid ball core casting lost foam;
[0064] Step 2, metal mesh grid ball core melting and casting forming;
[0065] Step 3, metal grid ball core bottom glaze pre-sintering;
[0066] Step 4, select ceramic granulation powder;
[0067] Step 5, metal grid bottom glaze pre-sintering ball core and ceramic granulation powder in infinite dimension suspension pressure ball machine suspension pressure into ceramic ball blank.
[0068] Specifically, in the above step 1, 3D modeling printing technology is selected to model and print a grid ball lost foam. The grid ball lost foam has a complex structure and high precision requirements. The 3D modeling printing has high precision and is guaranteed.
[0069] Specifically, in the above step 1, a regular polyhedral grid ball lost foam is modeled and printed. The regular polyhedral grid center is located at the center of the grid, and the lost foam center is located at the center of the ball, thereby ensuring that the ball center is not eccentric.
[0070] Specifically, in the above step 1, a regular polyhedral grid ball lost foam is modeled and printed. The regular polyhedral grid ball lost foam is a single-layer or multi-layer nested regular polyhedral structure with uniform density distribution. The grid ball lost foam ensures uniform internal stress and is not prone to cracking or deformation during sintering and cooling.
[0071] Specifically, in the above step 1, a single-layer or multi-layer regular polyhedral grid ball lost foam is modeled and printed. The grid ball lost foam is a square with equal cross-sectional area, and the same layer of regular polyhedral grid strips is also a square with equal cross-sectional area. The maximum surface area of the longitudinal section is the same in any two-dimensional linear expansion and contraction force, and the internal stress is uniform, which is not prone to cracking or deformation.
[0072] Specifically, in the above step 1, a single-layer or multi-layer regular polyhedral grid ball lost foam is modeled and printed according to the ball size and quality requirements. The multi-layer regular polyhedral grid ball lost foam can maximize the weight of the embedded metal grid ball core, thereby increasing the specific gravity of the ball.
[0073] Specifically, in the above step 1, the weight ratio of ceramic powder and embedded metal is determined according to the requirements of ball diameter, shell thickness, and specific gravity, and then one of the following is selected to model and print the grid ball lost foam: a regular octahedron with 8 strips and 12 edges, a regular icosahedron with 12 strips and 30 edges, and a regular dodecahedron with 20 strips and 30 edges, to achieve the specific gravity requirements of the ball.
[0074] Specifically, in the above step 2, ferrite 400 series stainless steel is selected as the grid ball core casting metal. The 400 series stainless steel has magnetic properties, and the grid ball core can be driven by the magnetic force of the magnetic pair of the infinite dimension suspension pressure ball machine, making it move in infinite dimensions and achieve infinite dimension suspension.
[0075] Specifically, in the above step 2, the 400 series stainless steel has high density and high melting point, and the 410 stainless steel has a density of 7.7 g / cm and a melting point range of 1480-1530℃. When the composite fluxing agent and the ceramic granulation powder are sintered into a ball below 1300℃, the 410 stainless steel remains solid and does not deform.
[0076] Specifically, in the above step 3, the base glaze of the alkali-boron-silicate or alkali-vanadium-silicate series is selected for the metal mesh ball core, and the base glaze containing B2O3 has good fluxing effect, can reduce the softening temperature, viscosity, surface tension and expansion coefficient of the porcelain enamel, and the base glaze containing V2O5 can significantly improve the adhesion with the stainless steel substrate;
[0077] Specifically, in the above step 3, the ball core with the base glaze is pre-sintered at a temperature of 600-650℃ for 30-60 minutes, the base glaze and the stainless steel substrate establish initial adhesion, and the stainless steel substrate base glaze liquidizes and flows at a firing temperature of 820-870℃. Further, during the sintering of the ceramic ball blank, the pre-sintered base glaze and the composite fluxing agent in the ceramic granulation powder together promote the formation of a glass phase at the interface between the base glaze and the ceramic granulation powder mesh blank body at low temperature, which can significantly improve the adhesion with the alumina and zirconia mesh blank body. Further, during the temperature rising and sintering process, the base glaze first melts to form a liquid phase zone, and the ceramic powder crystal structure approaches the liquid phase zone, helping the ceramic powder particles to automatically fill the voids in the blank, as well as the pores left after the evaporation of gas, impurities and moisture, so as to improve the density of the ceramic ball. Further, the expansion coefficients of boron-based and vanadium-based base glazes are lower than those of alumina ceramic, zirconia ceramic and 400 series stainless steel. The stainless steel substrate base glaze can weaken the adverse effects of ceramic powder shrinkage during high temperature sintering and molten metal shrinkage during cooling on the adhesion of the interface.
