A kind of gradient-structure Ti (C, N) based ceramic metal and plasma nitrided preparation method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of gradient-structure Ti (C, N) based ceramic metal, the invention still further relates to and adopt the plasma nitrided method of preparing gradient-structure Ti (C, N) based ceramic metal, belong to stupalith and preparation method thereof technical field.
Background technology
Ti (C, N) based ceramic metal not only has higher hardness, wear resistance, red hardness, good chemical stability, the frictional coefficient low with metal compole, and also has certain toughness and intensity.Compare with cutting tool coated with hard alloy material with most popular Wimet in current manufacture manufacture field, it has obvious advantage in the following aspects: it can allow higher cutting speed, there is the larger depth of cut, better wear resisting property, work piece has good surface property; In addition, this material does not contain or less containing strategic substance C o and valuable compound WC, the raw materials overwhelming majority is conventional, the easy element obtaining, and manufacturing process is similar to Wimet, thereby its total cost is cheaply many.Tool Industry in Japan, Sweden is used in a large number.The main trade mark of Japanese market is in table 1.US and European is about Ti (C in recent years, N) research of based ceramic metal and application also sharply increase, also the have high input amount of measuring one's own ability developed the Ti (C of some trades mark of relevant department of China, N) based ceramic metal, its product can partly replace the inserted tool such as YG8, YT15 in cutting field.Ti (C, N) based ceramic metal has shown its great potential as the upgrading equivalent material of traditional WC-Co Wimet.
But the problem reflecting is at present still obdurability deficiency, as unstable in the product performance of China's development, particularly in keeping higher hardness, obdurability is poor, market consumption is few, thereby the superiority that this kind of material should be had in theory do not give full play to, and limit its use range.
The ceramic-metallic trade mark and the performance on table 1 Japanese market, commonly used
Prepare high performance homogeneous sintering metal is the emphasis of material supplier author's research always.The main method adopting is to optimize composition and the preparation technology of material; Test new forming technique and sintering technology; Improve the control accuracy of producing apparatus.Particularly in recent years, the research aspect of exploitation Investigation for Super-fine Cermets has obtained the progress attracting people's attention.But the same with traditional Wimet, ceramic-metallic wear resistance and obdurability always exist contradiction: wear resistance is higher, obdurability is lower, and vice versa.The material of heterogeneous texture shows obvious performance advantage.Therefore, further improve ceramic-metallic performance and expand its range of application, development composition and microstructure distribution gradient, rich surface is containing wear-resisting hard phase and the inner sintering metal that is rich in the Binder Phase of toughness seems particularly necessary.
The usual practice that solves above-mentioned contradiction is in the preferably coating of metal ceramic surface coating high rigidity of obdurability by the method for PVD and CVD.But, between the upper layer of resulting materials and matrix, all exist obvious interface at the aspect such as composition and microtexture like this, in the time carrying out high speed cutting, cementation zone easily peels off, easily tipping.And due to the thermal expansivity difference of differing materials, coating tool materials impact due to thermal stresses in process of cooling easily cracks, crackle easily produces and to material internal expansion, finally causes material failure from coatingsurface.In view of the foregoing, have human hair to understand by carry out the method that functionally graded metal pottery is prepared in surfaces nitrided processing in high temperature nitrogen environment, but the method technological process is longer, preparation efficiency is lower, and surface function gradient layer is thinner.
Summary of the invention
The object of the invention is the present situation for prior art, provide a kind of surface to there is very high hardness, wear resistance, red hardness, and heart portion has gradient-structure Ti (C, N) based ceramic metal and the high efficiency preparation method thereof of higher-strength.
To achieve these goals, technical scheme of the present invention is:
A kind of gradient-structure Ti (C, N) based ceramic metal, its composition quality umber is: C is that 6.5~7.5, N is that 1.5~2.5, Ti is that 36~45, Ni is that 25~32, Mo is that 13~18, W is 6~10.The raw material adopting is (Ti, Mo, W) (C, N), C, NiMo powder.
The present invention adopts the Ti (C of the relatively high and low non-normal tissue in normal carbon amount of Ni content, N) based ceramic metal is matrix, then adopt plasma nitrided method to prepare and in textura epidermoidea, be rich in TiN, Ti (C, the hard phase such as N), core is rich in Ni, the sintering metal of hard phase and metallic binding phase distribution gradient.Make the core of material have higher intensity, surface has higher hardness and wear resistance.Realize this purpose Ti (C, N) based ceramic metal, be characterized in, in moiety, C, N content are lower, are starkly lower than the sintering metal compound of normal range, and metal Ni content is higher.
The plasma nitrided gradient-structure Ti (C for preparing of the present invention, N) method of based ceramic metal, first preparation meets the compound of composition requirement, obtain sintered compact through batch mixing, moulding, degreasing, vacuum sintering successively, after its polishing and cleaning, pack in the plasma nitrided stove with high temperature assisted heating device and carry out nitriding processing.
Specifically comprise the steps:
(1) preparation meets the compound of following requirement, and its composition mass fraction is: C is that 6.5~7.5, N is that 1.5~2.5, Ti is that 36~45, Ni is that 25~32, Mo is that 13~18, W is 6~10.All the components is introduced by (Ti, Mo, W) (C, N), C, NiMo powder;
(2) batch mixing, compounding process carries out in planetary ball mill, and drum's speed of rotation is 180rpm, and the time is 24h;
(3) add forming agent, the forming agent adding is that concentration is the polyvinyl alcohol water solution of 7mass%, 3mass%~7mass% that additional proportion is compound;
(4) compression moulding, pressing pressure used is 250MPa;
(5) degreasing, carries out in higher than the vacuum oven of 10Pa in vacuum tightness, and the heat-up rate between 200~450 DEG C is 0.3~0.5 DEG C/min;
(6) vacuum sintering is carried out in vacuum sintering furnace, and vacuum tightness is higher than 5.0 × 10
-2pa, sintering temperature is 1410~1440 DEG C, soaking time is 50~70min;
(7) to carrying out plasma nitriding processing through above-mentioned operation gained sintered compact, in the plasma nitrided stove with high temperature assisted heating device, carry out, first working spaces is evacuated to the vacuum below 10Pa, being filled with Ar/N2 mixed gas does again, total gas pressure is 120~180Pa, two kinds of gas flow ratios are PAr/PN2=1/2, and workpiece voltage is 500~700V, nitriding treatment 3~5h at 1140~1200 DEG C.
