Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of powder metallurgy, and particularly to a preparation method of tungsten-rhenium alloy containing second-phase tungsten carbide. BACKGROUND
[0002] Tungsten-rhenium alloy has irreplaceable properties in special high-temperature working conditions due to its excellent comprehensive performance: the melting point of tungsten is as high as 3422°C, and the melting point of rhenium is as high as 3186°C, which gives the alloy a very high melting point basis; at the same time, it also has excellent high-temperature strength, thermal stability, wear resistance, service life, thermal conductivity and thermal shock resistance, so it is widely used in aerospace engine core components, nuclear reactor structural materials, high-temperature furnace and friction stir welding, etc. in special fields with strict requirements on material performance, and is a key basic material in high-end equipment manufacturing. However, the current tungsten-rhenium alloy composition stir head in actual application still has significant technical limitations, which seriously restricts its reliability and service life in extreme working conditions: first, there is a problem of recrystallization embrittlement, which causes the grain boundary to migrate easily in high-temperature environment, and the risk of brittle fracture is greatly increased; second, the thermal fatigue resistance is insufficient, and microcracks are easily produced in repeated thermal cycle conditions, and the cracks are easily expanded and cause structural failure; third, the traditional tungsten-rhenium alloy has a shortcoming of high-temperature strength, which leads to poor wear resistance, and the surface is easily worn out in complex working conditions of friction and corrosion. The above defects have become the core bottleneck that limits the further expansion of the application scenarios of tungsten-rhenium alloy. In view of the above limitations, the industry has formed a clear improvement direction: by dispersion strengthening or introducing hard alloy phase (such as tungsten carbide), uniformly distributing carbide, oxide and other hard phases in the tungsten-rhenium alloy matrix, and by the action of hard phase hindering dislocation movement and pinning grain boundary, the high-temperature stability and mechanical properties of the material are significantly improved. However, the existing technology still has key shortcomings: traditional tungsten carbide preparation mostly uses high-temperature carbon thermal reduction method (such as reacting WO3 and carbon black at 1400-1600°C), which not only has high energy consumption, but also easily causes particle agglomeration, and it is more difficult to precisely control the uniformity of carbon content, which cannot meet the modification requirements of tungsten-rhenium alloy; in recent years, wet chemical methods such as hydrothermal synthesis and sol-gel method have attracted attention due to their flexible control of particle size and morphology, but they have not yet formed an effective modification scheme combined with the tungsten-rhenium alloy matrix.
[0003] Therefore, a method for realizing uniform carbonization by wet process based on tungsten-rhenium alloy as precursor can solve the core problems of carbon source segregation, uneven distribution of second phase, weak interface bonding, and insufficient strength and performance. SUMMARY

[0025] Comparative Example 1 Compared with Example 1, only the gradient calcination in S2 is not performed, and other steps are completely the same; Specifically, S2 is as follows: mixture B is crushed and sieved, and reduced at a heating rate of 10℃ / min to 1000℃ for 2h using a reduction furnace; the hydrogen flow rate is 4L / min; after the hydrogen reduction is completed, the temperature is lowered to 400℃, and then lowered to 30℃ under nitrogen atmosphere.
[0026] Comparative Example 2 Compared with Example 1, only the gradient calcination temperature in S2 is different, and other steps are completely the same; Specifically, S2 is as follows: the mixture B is broken and sieved, gradient calcination is performed in a reducing furnace under a nitrogen atmosphere, and a mixture C with uniform carbon distribution is obtained after hydrogen reduction at 1000℃; The gradient calcination conditions are set as follows: first stage, calcination temperature 200℃, calcination heating rate 10℃ / min, and calcination time 1h; second stage, calcination temperature 400℃, calcination heating rate 10℃ / min, and calcination time 1h; The hydrogen reduction heating rate is 10℃ / min, the hydrogen reduction time is 1h, and the hydrogen reduction temperature is 1000℃; After the hydrogen reduction, the temperature is decreased to 400℃, and then decreased to 30℃ under a nitrogen atmosphere; The nitrogen and hydrogen flow rates are 4L / min; Comparative Example 3 Compared with Example 1, only one stage of calcination is performed in S2, and the other steps are completely the same; Specifically, S2 is as follows: the mixture B is broken and sieved, gradient calcination is performed in a reducing furnace under a nitrogen atmosphere, and a mixture C with uniform carbon distribution is obtained after hydrogen reduction at 1000℃; The calcination conditions are set as follows: calcination temperature 600℃, calcination heating rate 10℃ / min, and calcination time 2h; The hydrogen reduction heating rate is 10℃ / min, the hydrogen reduction time is 1h, and the hydrogen reduction temperature is 1000℃; After the hydrogen reduction, the temperature is decreased to 400℃, and then decreased to 30℃ under a nitrogen atmosphere; The nitrogen and hydrogen flow rates are 4L / min; Comparative Example 4 Compared with Example 1, only the mass content of the tungsten-rhenium pre-alloyed powder and the organic carbon source in S1 is different, and the tungsten-rhenium pre-alloyed powder and the organic carbon source are weighed according to a mass content of 92wt.% and 8wt.%.
[0027] Comparative Example 5 Compared with Example 1, only the mass content of the tungsten-rhenium pre-alloyed powder and the organic carbon source in S1 is different, and there is no organic carbon source, and the tungsten-rhenium pre-alloyed powder is 100wt.%.
[0028] Performance Test (1) Composition analysis of the mixture C prepared after steps S1 and S2, and composition analysis of the tungsten-rhenium alloy containing the second-phase tungsten carbide prepared after S1, S2, and S3 in the examples and comparative examples; The component test standards are as follows: the sintered compact sample is cut by wire cutting, the outer oxide layer is polished off by sandpaper, cleaned by alcohol and dried, the Re content is tested by ICP-OES, the C content is tested by carbon-sulfur analyzer, the O content is tested by oxygen-nitrogen-hydrogen analyzer, and the W content is the balance except Re, C and O.
[0029] (2) The density test standards are as follows: based on Archimedes' law of buoyancy, the volume density of the sample is calculated by measuring the weight of the sample in air and immersed in water, and then compared with the theoretical density to obtain the density (density=(volume density / theoretical density) x 100%).
[0030] (3) The hardness test standards are as follows: test force: 1.0 kgf, pressure holding time: 10 s, each sample is measured 5 times, the maximum and minimum values are removed, and then the average value is taken as the Vickers hardness value of the sample.
[0031] (4) The wear volume test standards are as follows: the friction test of the present application uses a reciprocating friction tester, the friction conditions are: pressure 50 N, 5 mm diameter Si3N4 counter ball, 500 reciprocating times per minute, friction distance 5 mm, time 30 min, room temperature.
[0032] The surface profilometer is used to scan perpendicular to the wear direction to obtain a two-dimensional profile curve across the wear mark, and the instrument software calculates the cross-sectional area A (unit mm 2 ) of the closed area, the wear track circumference L (for reciprocating experiment, L can be taken as the length of the wear area, unit mm), V=A x L.
[0033] The test results are shown in Tables 1 and 2.
[0034] Table 1 Table 2 From the above tables and Figures 1-2 It can be seen that the carbon content in the mixture C prepared by gradient calcination and hydrogen reduction of Example 5 is 1.05 wt.%, the small particles of the alloy powder are agglomerated into larger particles, the tungsten and rhenium are uniformly distributed in all large and small particles, the carbon after carbonization of glucose is retained in the mixture C, and the generated carbon will react with excess oxygen during hydrogen reduction and sintering, so that the sintered tungsten-rhenium alloy maintains very low oxygen content, and the carbon content in the tungsten-rhenium alloy containing secondary tungsten carbide after sintering of Example 5 is 0.33 wt.%.
[0035] In combination with Figure 3The tungsten-rhenium alloy powder of the embodiment 5 of the present application has more dispersed tungsten carbide formed in situ in the sintered tungsten-rhenium alloy due to the presence of appropriate amount of carbon, so that the hardness of the product reaches 609HV, which is 36% higher than that of the conventional sintered tungsten-rhenium alloy without carbon, and the wear volume is reduced by 61%, effectively improving the strength and wear resistance of the tungsten-rhenium alloy containing the second phase tungsten carbide.
[0036] From Figure 4 the metallographic diagram, it can be seen that the second phase tungsten carbide generated in situ in the embodiment 5 of the present application has clear grain boundary and uniform distribution, and the grain size of the second phase tungsten carbide is between 10-40μm.
[0037] The comparative example 1 does not use the gradient decomposition and carbonization under specific atmosphere and temperature, and directly performs hydrogen reduction, so that all the carbon is lost, as shown in Figure 5 , so that there is no tungsten carbide phase in the sintered tungsten-rhenium alloy, and the hardness and friction performance thereof are worse than those of the tungsten-rhenium alloy with tungsten carbide phase. The temperature of the gradient calcination in the comparative example 2 is different, and since the decomposition and carbonization are not complete during calcination, the carbon is consumed by the residual oxygen at the high temperature stage, so that the carbon cannot be effectively preserved, and the effect of improving the alloy performance cannot be achieved. The comparative example 3 only performs one-step calcination, and the calcination temperature is too high, so that the carbon is directly consumed without decomposition and carbonization, and the appropriate amount of tungsten carbide cannot be generated to improve the alloy performance. The comparative example 4 has excessive organic carbon source, and excessive carbon is reserved in the pre-alloy powder, so that excessive tungsten carbide is generated in the alloy. Although the second phase can improve the hardness to a certain extent, the excessive second phase tungsten carbide will be peeled off during friction, and the friction performance is reduced. The comparative example 5 does not contain organic carbon source, as shown in Figure 6 , since there is no second phase tungsten carbide for strengthening, the performance thereof is obviously the worst.
[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and are not used to limit the protection scope of the present application. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present application can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of the present application.
