Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of superhard materials technology, and in particular to a preforming device for preforming polycrystalline diamond wire drawing die cores. Background Technology
[0002] Polycrystalline diamond (PCD) wire drawing dies are made of polycrystalline diamond and are one of the main forming die materials in the wire drawing process of various metal wire products. They possess high wear resistance, high temperature resistance, good chemical stability, and excellent dimensional stability, making them widely used in metal wire drawing. Compared to another type of wire drawing die—monocrystalline diamond—PCD dies have superior isotropic physical properties, avoiding abnormal cracking at the dissociation surface caused by the anisotropy of monocrystalline diamond during preparation and use. Furthermore, compared to the newer CVD diamond wire drawing dies, PCD dies offer significant advantages in cost-effectiveness and mechanical properties. Therefore, PCD dies are currently the most widely used diamond wire drawing dies on the market.
[0003] Existing polycrystalline diamond (PCD) wire drawing dies are mainly made by cutting and grinding pre-synthesized PCD bulk materials, with the outer edge surface primarily formed by laser cutting. Since laser cutting operates on a high-temperature ablation principle, it inevitably causes some thermal damage to the wire drawing die itself. Furthermore, because a single piece of PCD is often used to cut multiple wire drawing dies, the cutting time is long, impacting processing efficiency. Additionally, the small amount of carbon slag generated on the cutting surface during laser cutting can negatively affect subsequent assembly. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems existing in the preparation process of polycrystalline diamond wire drawing dies by providing a preforming device for preforming polycrystalline diamond wire drawing dies. On the one hand, it enables product preforming, reduces processing rate, improves production efficiency, and reduces production costs; on the other hand, it avoids the ablation effect of laser cutting on the product itself, and can improve the product performance to a certain extent.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A preforming device for polycrystalline diamond wire drawing core includes an upper metal cup and a lower metal cup.

The non-feeding cavities are used to place fillers, and the feeding cavities are used to place pressed polycrystalline diamond powder 3. An inner cobalt sheet is provided above the feeding cavities to close them, and an outer cobalt sheet is provided above the inner cobalt sheet. The lower metal cup is sleeved outside the upper metal cup.
[0007] The upper metal cup and the lower metal cup are zirconium cups, niobium cups, molybdenum cups, or tantalum cups, and the wall thickness of the upper metal cup and the lower metal cup is 0.076-0.3 mm.

[0009] The slot width of the socket is slightly larger than the thickness of the metal foil, and the difference between the height of the metal foil and the lower metal cup is the thickness of the outer cobalt sheet.
[0010] The filler is any one or more of sodium chloride, magnesium oxide, and dolomite.
[0011] The inner cobalt sheet has the same size as the cross-section of the feeding cavity, the outer cobalt sheet has the same size as the inner diameter of the lower metal cup, and the thickness of the inner and outer cobalt sheets is 0.1-0.3 mm.

[0017] 4. This utility model can both guarantee the final shape of the wire drawing die core and remove cobalt elements from the inside of the wire drawing die core, thereby achieving the temperature resistance performance of the wire drawing die core during use. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The metal foil 2 is a long strip of zirconium foil. A slot 201, half the width of the foil, is formed on one side along its length. The slot width is slightly greater than the foil thickness, and the metal foil 2 is lower than the height of the lower metal cup 1.

The height of the inner partition is slightly lower than the inner height of the lower metal cup 1; the difference is equal to the thickness of the outer cobalt sheet 6.
