Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of granulation cutter preparation, and more particularly to a metal-ceramic granulation cutter and its preparation process. Background Technology
[0002] As the core moving component of an underwater pelletizing system, the pelletizer blade, together with the pelletizing template (fixed blade), forms a shearing unit. Its performance directly determines the molding accuracy, production efficiency, and equipment operational stability of the plastic pellets. Currently, pelletizer blades include test-run blades, iron-based cermet composite pelletizer blades, nickel-based cermet composite pelletizer blades, and special melt index blades. Among them, the nickel-based cermet composite pelletizer blade uses conductors and cutting edges separately, and employs vacuum diffusion welding or vacuum brazing composite methods. Its interface bonding strength is ≥340MPa, with the hard phase TiC uniformly dispersed in the NiCr solid solution. The interface bonding is free of pores and cracks, and its wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and high temperature resistance far exceed those of the iron-based system. The single-blade life is ≥720 hours, and the cutting edge stability is superior.
[0003] However, the production of nickel-based metal ceramic composite pelletizers is quite difficult. The adhesive removal process is crucial for bonding, molding, and sintering. Poor control of the adhesive removal process can easily lead to product quality problems, such as defects in the green body and uneven compaction density. Some adhesives decompose too quickly during removal and sintering, causing uneven shrinkage, deformation, or cracking of the product. If the adhesive removal is incomplete, it will remain in the material, potentially forming free carbon or excessive carbides, contaminating the TiC-NiCr solid solution, and reducing the purity and high-temperature performance of the material.

[0130] Five semi-finished metal-ceramic granulated blades from Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-4 were taken respectively, and their appearance was observed. Their hardness, corrosion resistance, red hardness, bending strength, and service life were tested respectively. The red hardness was tested by measuring the decrease in hardness after holding at 800°C for 3 hours.
[0131] Table 1 Test Results
[0132]
[0133] The results above show that the appearance of Examples 1-3 is 100% smooth, without any pitting or wrinkling, and the service life of the blade is over 800 hours.
[0134] Comparing Comparative Example 1 and Example 3, it can be seen that Comparative Example 1 has a significantly worse appearance, with multiple pits and wrinkles appearing. Its hardness and flexural strength are also reduced, and its corrosion resistance is worse, resulting in a much shorter service life. After insulation at 800℃, the hardness decreases considerably. This indicates that using only phenolic resin as an adhesive yields very poor product performance.
[0135] Comparing Comparative Example 2 and Example 3, it can be seen that the appearance of Comparative Example 2 is also worse, with pitting appearing. Furthermore, its hardness and flexural strength are reduced, its corrosion resistance is also worse, and its service life is shortened. This indicates that the absence of bromoacetone grafted onto the modified polypropylene carbonate has a significant impact on the product preparation effect.
[0136] Comparing Comparative Example 3 and Example 3, it can be seen that the appearance of Comparative Example 3 is slightly worse, with only 20% showing pitting, and the corrosion resistance, service life, and flexural strength are slightly reduced. This comparative example shows that only phenolic resin and modified polypropylene carbonate in the adhesive have a synergistic effect. Although phenolic resin is a conventional adhesive, it is indispensable.
[0137] Comparing Comparative Example 4 and Example 3, it can be seen that after heat treatment at 800℃, the hardness reduction of Comparative Example 4 is less than that of Example 3, indicating that the red hardness of Comparative Example 4 is better than that of Example 3. However, 40% of the products in Comparative Example 4 have defects, while 60% have a smooth appearance. This indicates that the overall performance of Comparative Example 4 is still not as good as that of Example 3, and its service life is significantly reduced.
