Description

Three-dimensional programmable high-performance reinforcement and preparation method TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of wear-resistant equipment, and particularly relates to a three-dimensional programmable high-performance reinforcement and a preparation method. BACKGROUND

[0002] A large amount of wear-resistant materials are needed in mine machinery, coal mills of power plants, and equipment of cement plants. Wear-resistant parts such as grinding rollers usually work in relatively harsh environments, and mainly crush materials through extrusion and grinding. In the process of work, the wear-resistant parts are subjected to extrusion force, impact force and shear force, and at the same time of crushing hard materials, the surface of the wear-resistant parts is also damaged.

[0003] Ceramic-metal wear-resistant composite materials have the characteristics of high specific strength, high wear resistance, high thermal stability of ceramics and good impact resistance and plastic toughness of metals. The service life of the grinding roller and the wear-resistant part of the grinding disc prepared by the ceramic-metal wear-resistant composite material can reach 2.5-3 times of that of the traditional high-chromium cast iron wear-resistant part, which not only saves the cost, but also greatly improves the production efficiency. However, the wettability between ceramic and metal is poor, and there are great difficulties in preparing wear-resistant ceramic-metal composite materials by infiltration method. Although domestic researchers have done a lot of research work in this field, the results are not very ideal. At present, domestic large composite grinding rollers, hammer heads and other wear-resistant composite material parts mainly rely on foreign imports.

[0004] The imported materials from abroad all adopt ceramic or high-performance alloy particles, which are bonded by an adhesive to form a pre-polymer, and then the strength is improved by sintering in an oxidizing atmosphere or vacuum sintering to prevent the pre-polymer from collapsing during the pouring process of the metal matrix. However, the precision of this preparation process is complicated. Not only does it need to be sintered during the preparation of the pre-polymer, but also it needs to be sintered in an oxidizing atmosphere after the pre-polymer is prepared, which is high in cost.

A method of making the three-dimensional programmable high performance reinforcement of claim 2, wherein, The method comprises the following steps: Step 1: according to the percentage of each component in the three-dimensional programmable high-performance reinforcing body to be prepared, a set weight of raw material powder is weighed; the raw material powder is ball milled to D50 of 0.5-1.2 um, uniformly mixed, dried and then poured out as a raw material for standby; Step 2: add paraffin and oleic acid to a heating pot, and when the paraffin and oleic acid are melted at high temperature, slowly add the raw material to the heating pot, and quickly stir until the powdered raw material is uniformly dispersed in the paraffin and oleic acid mixture; pour the paraffin and oleic acid mixture containing the dispersed raw material into a material tray and cool to obtain a wax cake; Step 3: add the wax cake to a die casting machine and heat to melt, then vacuumize and discharge air; place a mold on the die casting machine, send the slurry into the mold by air pressure, and after cooling, demold to obtain a three-dimensional programmable high-performance reinforcing body blank product; Step 4: the three-dimensional programmable high-performance reinforcing body blank product is first de-waxed, and then sent to a sintering equipment for sintering, and cooled to obtain a reinforcing particle of a three-dimensional programmable high-performance reinforcing body; Step 5: according to the shape of the cast steel product and the shape required by the reinforcing part, pass a metal wire or a high-temperature ceramic fiber rope through the through hole on the reinforcing particle of the three-dimensional programmable high-performance reinforcing body, and fix the reinforcing particles by the metal wire or the high-temperature ceramic fiber rope to obtain a reinforcing body with a three-dimensional structure in the required shape.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the three-dimensional programmable high performance reinforcement is prepared by, Step 5 is followed by Step 6: coating the surface of the reinforcing body obtained in Step 5 with nickel, titanium or chromium to obtain a nickel layer, a titanium layer or a chromium layer.

13. The method of claim 11, wherein the three-dimensional programmable high performance reinforcement is prepared by the steps of: The sintering equipment in Step 4 is a microwave sintering furnace, a tunnel kiln, a vacuum furnace or an atmosphere protection furnace. ​
