Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of welding shear strength testing, specifically a mold for testing the shear strength of polycrystalline diamond (PCD) cemented carbide brazed joints. Background Technology
[0002] Polycrystalline diamond (PCD) tools, due to their extremely high hardness and wear resistance, are widely used for the finishing of metallic surfaces and the precision machining of non-metallic ceramic materials. PCD tool manufacturing is relatively complex; they are typically difficult to directly form complex shapes. They are usually cut into PCD sheets or cylindrical PCD tips, which are then brazed to a carbide or steel tool body before use. PCD and carbide or steel substrates represent typical heterogeneous welding; therefore, the shear strength of the weld joint is crucial. According to the current national standard for weld joint testing (GB T 11363-2008 Standard for Test Method of Brazed Joint Strength), the shear strength of the weld joint is the highest priority test indicator, preceding the tensile strength test.
[0003] When machining high-hardness ceramics such as SiC ceramic matrix composites, PCD superhard tools are preferred. The tool as a whole needs to have high rigidity, so cemented carbide is usually selected as the tool body material and the two are welded together by brazing. After welding, the shear strength of the weld joint needs to be tested. In order to ensure that the test piece does not shift during the test, a specific mold is usually required for fixation.
[0004] The prior art disclosed in CN222704419U is a welding strength and shear strength tester. It uses a rotating shaft and multiple mounting seats to allow a base to move fixtures fixed to several mounting seats on the top of the base sequentially under the pusher blade, thus allowing the pusher blade to shear the components sequentially. Simultaneously, a clamping plate holds the test component within the fixed fixture. During testing, the base first rotates the tested component out from under the measuring module, then the test component, along with the fixed fixture, is removed from the mounting seats. The fixing screws on both sides of the mounting seats are then loosened, and the test instrument is removed. Its structure is complex, and the clamping operation is cumbersome, consuming significant manpower and time costs during the installation and removal of the test piece. Utility Model Content
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a mold suitable for testing the shear strength of PCD-hard alloy brazed joints. It has a simple structure, is easy to clamp, and has good overall stability after clamping.
[0006] The embodiments of this utility model are implemented as follows: This application provides a mold suitable for testing the shear strength of PCD-hard alloy brazed joints, which includes a base, a pressure bar, and a slider.
[0007] Furthermore, the base is a flat cuboid with a first hole and a second hole on its front and top surfaces, respectively, and the two holes are connected inside the base. The first hole on the front surface slides into the slider via a groove, ensuring that the slider can be inserted into the base. The size of the second hole on the top surface matches the cross-sectional size of the pressure rod, ensuring that the pressure rod can be pressed into the base.
[0008] Furthermore, the bottom of the pressure bar is provided with an arc-shaped groove, and the height of the pressure bar is longer than the depth of the second hole on the upper surface.
[0009] Furthermore, the top of the pressure bar is connected to a universal testing machine with a downward lever arm, so that the pressure applied by the pressure bar is transmitted to the welded part under test inside the base.
[0010] Furthermore, the slider has a through cylindrical opening, and the size of the slider opening is adapted to the welded part being tested, so that the part being tested can be embedded into the slider through the opening.
[0011] Furthermore, when the slider is inserted into the base through the first hole on the front of the base via the groove, the welded part under test embedded in the slider is coaxial with the arc-shaped groove at the bottom of the pressure rod in the vertical direction, thus achieving complete fit between the arc-shaped groove and the welded part under test.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the embodiments of this utility model have at least the following advantages or beneficial effects:
[0013] 1. The mold adopts a three-part split design, including a base, a pressure rod, and a slider. The structure is simple and can be quickly clamped.
[0014] 2. By utilizing the allowance reserved between the length of the hole on the front of the base and the length of the test piece, and between the opening of the slider and the diameter of the test piece, it is convenient to load and can achieve self-locking during the test, with good overall stability and no displacement during the test.

[0026] Example
[0027] The following is a detailed description of a mold for testing the shear strength of PCD-hard alloy brazed joints, based on an embodiment of this utility model:
[0028] This application provides a mold suitable for testing the shear strength of PCD-carbide brazed joints. Please refer to... Figure 1 , Figure 1 The diagram shown is an overall schematic of the shear strength test mold according to an embodiment of this application, which includes a base 1, a pressure rod 2, a slider 3, a first hole 6, and a second hole 5.
[0029] Furthermore, the base 1 is a flat cuboid, optionally made of a transparent material for easy observation of the interior. Its front and top surfaces are respectively provided with a first hole 6 and a second hole 5, and the two holes are connected within the base. The first hole 6 on the front surface has a groove 12 to limit the sliding of the slider 3 within the hole, ensuring that the slider 3 is installed in the correct position within the base 1. The size of the second hole 5 on the top surface matches the cross-sectional size of the pressure rod 2, ensuring that the pressure rod 2 can be pressed into the base 1.
[0030] For further details, please refer to Figure 3 The bottom of the pressure rod 2 is provided with an arc-shaped groove 7, the arc-shaped dimensions of which are adapted to the welded part 4 being tested. At the same time, the height of the pressure rod 2 is greater than the depth of the second hole 5 on the upper surface, so that the pressure rod 2 can be pulled out from the first hole 6 on the base 1.
[0031] Furthermore, when the pressure rod 2 is pressed into the base 1, the welded part 4 to be tested embedded in the slider 3 is coaxial with the arc-shaped groove 7 at the bottom of the pressure rod 2 in the vertical direction, thus achieving complete fit between the arc-shaped groove 7 and the welded part 4 to be tested.
[0032] For further details, please refer to Figure 4 The slider 3 is provided with a through cylindrical opening 8, and the size of the opening is large enough to accommodate the welded part 4 to be tested, so that the part to be tested can be inserted into the slider 3 through the cylindrical opening 8.
[0033] For further details, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 The diagram shows a welding test piece. The left side is the carbide cutter body 9, the right side is the PCD cutter head 10, and the junction is the weld seam 11.
[0034] For further details, please refer to Figure 6 The carbide cutter body 9 of the cylindrical welding head is inserted into the cylindrical opening 8 of the slider 3. Since the width of the slider 3 is the same as the length of the carbide cutter body 4, after the carbide cutter body 4 is inserted, the exposed position is the PCD cutter body 10 and the weld 11. At the same time, a 0.1mm margin is left in the cylindrical opening 8 of the carbide cutter body 4 to facilitate the installation and removal of the tested welded part 4 in the slider 3.
[0035] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When the slider 3 of the test welded part 4 is slidably inserted into the base 1 through the slide groove 12, the top of the pressure rod 2 is connected to the downward force arm of the universal testing machine. The parameters are adjusted so that the downward force arm of the universal testing machine generates a pressure that increases continuously and uniformly, with an increase of 1N. This pressure is applied vertically to the PCD cutter body 10 of the test welded part 4. By observing the bending and fracture of the weld 11, the maximum pressure value that the weld joint of the test welded part 4 can withstand is determined, and the shear strength test of the weld joint is completed.
[0036] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
