Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of powder metallurgy technology, specifically relating to a nano-hard alloy material and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Due to its excellent hardness, wear resistance, and impact resistance, cemented carbide is widely used in cutting tools, mining drilling, and wear-resistant components. Cemented carbide is formed by liquid-phase sintering and densification, using tungsten carbide (WC) as the hard phase and metallic cobalt (Co) as the binder phase. If nanoscale tungsten carbide (particle size <0.4 μm) is used as the hard phase, nano-cemented carbide can be obtained, which can significantly improve the hardness and strength of cemented carbide.

[0003] However, nano-tungsten carbide has extremely high surface energy, and grain coarsening easily occurs during densification at conventional sintering temperatures. Adding grain growth inhibitors such as vanadium carbide (VC), chromium carbide (Cr3C2), and tantalum carbide (TaC) can partially alleviate this grain coarsening. However, excessive addition of inhibitors can form brittle phases, impairing the alloy's fracture toughness and corrosion resistance. Therefore, the selection and dosage control of inhibitors during preparation are quite challenging.

[0004] In addition, the growth of nano-tungsten carbide grains can be directly suppressed by lowering the sintering temperature. However, the cobalt binder phase in the raw material is prone to excessive viscosity when melting at a lower sintering temperature, which will hinder the rearrangement of nano-tungsten carbide grains. Furthermore, insufficient solid-liquid interfacial energy and inadequate pore closure will easily lead to pore structure defects, ultimately affecting the mechanical properties of the alloy. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a nano-hard alloy material and its preparation method, so as to solve at least one aspect of the problems and defects mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A nano-hard alloy material with a Vickers hardness of 1000~3000HV10 and a bending strength of 3000MPa~6000MPa, wherein the tungsten carbide grain size is 0.1μm~0.5μm.

[0007] As a further aspect of the present invention: the Vickers hardness of the nano-hard alloy material is 1800~2200HV10.

[0008] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the bending strength of the nano-hard alloy material is 3900MPa~5000MPa.

[0009] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the carbide grain size in the nano-hard alloy material is 0.11μm~0.34μm.

[0010] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the raw material includes a binder phase, which includes spherical cobalt powder with a Fisher particle size of 0.2~2.0μm and flake cobalt powder with a Fisher particle size of 1.8~4.0μm.

[0011] This invention uses a combination of two cobalt powders with different physical properties as the binder phase, which can achieve step-by-step liquid phase generation during the sintering process: during the heating of the raw materials, the spherical fine cobalt powder melts preferentially and initiates the initial wetting; the flake coarse cobalt powder melts slowly and maintains the amount of liquid phase in the high-temperature stage.

[0012] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the raw materials also include tungsten carbide and an inhibitor.

[0013] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the mass percentage of the binder phase in the raw material is 7.0% to 13.0%, preferably 7.0% to 9.0%.

[0014] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the tungsten carbide content in the raw material is 86.5% to 93.0% by mass, preferably 90.0% to 92.6%.

[0015] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the mass percentage of the inhibitor in the raw material is 0-0.5%, preferably 0.3%-0.5%.

[0016] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the nano-hard alloy comprises the following components in weight percentage: 7.0%~13.0% binder phase, 86.5%~93.0% tungsten carbide and 0~0.5% inhibitor.

[0017] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the spherical cobalt powder has a Fisher particle size of 0.4~1.2μm.

[0018] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the Fisher particle size of the flake cobalt powder is 2.0~3.0μm.

[0019] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the mass ratio of the spherical cobalt powder to the flake cobalt powder is (1.5~3):1.

[0020] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the tungsten carbide has a Fisher particle size of 0.1~0.3μm.

[0021] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the inhibitor has a Fisher particle size of 1.1~1.5μm.

[0022] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the inhibitor includes at least one of chromium carbide, vanadium carbide, and tantalum carbide, preferably a mixture of chromium carbide and vanadium carbide.

[0023] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the inhibitor includes chromium carbide at a mass ratio of 2% to 95%, preferably 30% to 40%.

[0024] As a further aspect of the present invention, the carbon balance coefficient in the nano-hard alloy is controlled to be +0.05 to +0.10%.

[0025] The carbon balance mentioned in this invention refers to the ratio between the actual total carbon content and the theoretically required total carbon content in the mixed raw materials of cemented carbide materials, and is usually expressed as a carbon balance coefficient.

[0026] In the preparation of cemented carbide materials, the binder phase is fundamental to ensuring the alloy's good toughness and corrosion resistance. This invention selects two cobalt powders with different physical properties as raw materials to achieve a superimposed liquid-phase sintering effect resulting from the synergistic effect of spherical fine cobalt powder and flake-shaped coarse cobalt powder, which is compatible with tungsten carbide. Due to the difference in physical properties between the two types of cobalt powder, spherical fine cobalt powder melts completely first than flake coarse cobalt powder, and can obtain a flowing cobalt melt with lower viscosity and better fluidity at a lower sintering temperature, thus enabling it to be successfully combined with tungsten carbide. During the sintering process, as the raw material temperature rises, the flake-shaped cobalt powder gradually melts completely, continuing to provide a fluid liquid phase to fill the pores, achieving a full wetting effect between the cobalt phase and tungsten carbide, reducing the interfacial energy between tungsten carbide and cobalt, improving the capillary force-driven densification efficiency, and realizing the full densification of cemented carbide materials.

[0027] In this invention, spherical cobalt powder with a Fisher particle size of 0.4~1.2μm and flake-shaped cobalt powder with a Fisher particle size of 2.0~3.0μm are preferred as raw materials, and the mass ratio of the two cobalt powders is in the range of (1.5~3):1, which enables the raw materials to achieve full densification at a lower sintering temperature. Moreover, due to the lower sintering temperature, abnormal growth of nano-tungsten carbide is not caused, ensuring the uniformity of the alloy structure.

[0028] A method for preparing a nano-hard alloy material as described in any one of the above methods includes the following steps: ball milling, pressing and sintering the binder phase, tungsten carbide and inhibitor to obtain the nano-hard alloy material.

[0029] As a further embodiment of the present invention, a grinding aid and a forming agent are added during the ball milling process.

[0030] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the grinding aid is selected from at least one of ethanol and isopropanol, preferably ethanol.

[0031] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the grinding aid is added at a ratio of 100~450ml / kg to the liquid-solid ratio of the material.

[0032] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the molding agent is selected from at least one of polyethylene glycol and paraffin wax; the polyethylene glycol is selected from at least one of polyethylene glycol 2000, polyethylene glycol 3000, polyethylene glycol 4000, polyethylene glycol 6000 and polyethylene glycol 8000, preferably polyethylene glycol 4000.

[0033] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the amount of the molding agent added is 1.5% to 3.5% of the total mass of the raw materials.

[0034] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the ball milling time is 20-50 hours.

[0035] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the ball-to-material ratio during the ball milling process is (5~10):1.

[0036] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the rotation speed during the ball milling process is 30-40 revolutions per minute.

[0037] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the pressing molding is selected from one of compression molding, extrusion molding and isostatic pressing, preferably compression molding.

[0038] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the pressure sintering process is carried out in an inert gas atmosphere.

[0039] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the inert gas atmosphere is selected from nitrogen atmosphere, argon atmosphere, and helium atmosphere, preferably argon atmosphere.

[0040] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the gas pressure during the pressure sintering process is 30~100 bar, preferably 100 bar.

[0041] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the sintering temperature during the pressure sintering process is 1000~1500℃.

[0042] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the holding time during the pressure sintering process is 0.5~4.0h.

[0043] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the preparation method includes the following steps: S1: Add the grinding aid, then add the binder phase, tungsten carbide, inhibitor and forming agent, and perform wet grinding to obtain a mixed slurry; S2: The mixed slurry obtained in step S1 is pressed into shape and then pressure sintered to obtain the nano-hard alloy material.

[0044] The present invention has at least the following technical effects: 1. The cemented carbide material of the present invention achieves better coating of tungsten carbide by rationally applying the physical properties of cobalt powder and using a multi-level cobalt powder combination method, which combines "spherical cobalt powder to reduce melt viscosity" and "flaky cobalt powder to provide a continuous liquid phase". 2. By dynamically optimizing the wettability of combined cobalt powder, the sintering temperature can be reduced while the tungsten carbide / cobalt interface energy is lowered, thereby improving the capillary force-driven densification efficiency and achieving full densification of cemented carbide materials (>99.5%). 3. While reducing the amount of inhibitor added, abnormal growth of tungsten carbide grains is avoided. In the cemented carbide material prepared in the embodiments of the present invention, the average grain size of tungsten carbide is <0.4 μm, and the grain size increases by <0.05 μm compared with tungsten carbide raw material; 4. The Vickers hardness of the nano-hard alloy material prepared by this invention is 1850~2200HV10, and the bending strength is 3900~5000MPa, which has obvious performance advantages compared with alloy materials using cobalt powder as a single component. 5. Based on a thorough investigation and analysis of the physical and performance properties of existing cemented carbide materials, this invention fully utilizes cemented carbide design and sintering-related theories to solve the problems of incomplete densification and poor mechanical properties that occur in existing cemented carbide under low temperature and low inhibitor addition conditions. It provides a new nano-cemented carbide material with stable physical properties, controllable microstructure and defects, excellent processing performance, and longer service life.

[0054] Comparative Example 1 This comparative example provides a nano-hard alloy material, the preparation method of which includes the following steps: S1: The raw material composition by weight percentage is 7.0% cobalt powder, 0.3% inhibitor, and 92.7% tungsten carbide powder; The cobalt powder is composed of spherical cobalt powder with a Fisher particle size of 0.4 μm; The inhibitor is composed of chromium carbide powder and vanadium carbide powder. The chromium carbide powder has a Fisher particle size of 1.1 μm, the vanadium carbide powder has a Fisher particle size of 1.5 μm, and the mass ratio of chromium carbide powder to vanadium carbide powder is 1:2. The Fisher particle size of tungsten carbide powder is 0.3 μm; The carbon balance is controlled at +0.05%; The molding agent is polyethylene glycol 4000, and the amount of molding agent added is 3.5% of the total mass of the raw materials; S2: Add grinding aid ethanol and materials cobalt powder, tungsten carbide powder, chromium carbide powder, vanadium carbide powder and polyethylene glycol 4000 into a ball mill.

During the sintering process, inert argon gas is introduced at a pressure of 100 bar and the sintering time is 0.5 h. After sintering, nano-hard alloy material is obtained.

[0055] The physical properties of the nano-hard alloy materials obtained in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Example 1 were tested, and the results are shown in Table 1.

[0056] Table 1

[0057] The results showed that the Vickers hardness and bending strength of the nano-hard alloy material obtained by using cobalt powder with a single composition in Comparative Example 1 were significantly lower than those of the nano-hard alloy materials obtained in Examples 1-4.

[0058] The average grain size of tungsten carbide in the nano-hard alloy material obtained in Example 1 was 0.33 μm, which increased by 0.03 μm compared to the 0.3 μm grain size of the tungsten carbide raw material, indicating that the tungsten carbide grains did not grow significantly during processing. Figure 1 As shown, the microstructure of the alloy material is normal, and there are no obvious pore defects.

[0059] The average grain size of tungsten carbide in the nano-hard alloy material obtained in Example 2 was 0.12 μm, which was 0.02 μm larger than that of the tungsten carbide raw material (0.1 μm). This indicates that the tungsten carbide grains did not grow significantly during the processing. The microstructure of the alloy material was normal and there were no obvious pore defects.

[0060] The average grain size of tungsten carbide in the nano-hard alloy material obtained in Example 3 was 0.31 μm, which was 0.01 μm larger than the 0.3 μm grain size of the tungsten carbide raw material. This indicates that the tungsten carbide grains did not grow significantly during processing; the microstructure of the alloy material was normal, and there were no obvious porosity defects.

[0061] Compared with Example 1, in Example 3, because the cobalt content was increased from 7% to 13%, more cobalt material participated in the closure process. Therefore, the change in tungsten carbide grain size in the nano-hard alloy obtained in Example 3 was less than that in Example 1.

[0062] The average grain size of tungsten carbide in the nano-hard alloy material obtained in Example 4 was 0.23 μm, which was 0.03 μm larger than that of the tungsten carbide raw material (0.2 μm). This indicates that the tungsten carbide grains did not grow significantly during the processing. The microstructure of the alloy material was normal and there were no obvious pore defects.

[0063] The average grain size of tungsten carbide in the nano-hard alloy material obtained in Comparative Example 1 was 0.48 μm, which was 0.18 μm larger than the 0.3 μm grain size of the tungsten carbide raw material, indicating that the tungsten carbide grains grew significantly during the processing.

[0064] like Figure 2 As shown, the nano-hard alloy material obtained in Comparative Example 1 exhibits blocky pore defects within the observation area. This indicates that the pores were not fully closed during the sintering process, resulting in defects. This ultimately affects the mechanical properties of the material, causing its Vickers hardness and flexural strength to be lower than those of the nano-hard alloy material obtained in Example 1.

[0065] Any numerical value mentioned in this invention, if there is only a two-unit interval between any minimum and any maximum value, includes all values ​​that increase by one unit each time from the minimum to the maximum value. For example, if the amount of a component, or the value of a process variable such as temperature, pressure, or time, is stated as 60-90, in this specification it means specifically listing values ​​such as 61-89, 62-88, ..., 61-71, and 80-81. For non-integer values, it may be appropriately considered that a unit is 0.1, 0.01, 0.001, or 0.0001. These are merely some specifically specified examples. In this application, in a similar manner, all possible combinations of numerical values ​​between the listed minimum and maximum values ​​are considered to have been disclosed.
