Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of chemical gas-phase deposition of diamond coating drawing mould technologies of preparing, specifically a kind of big
Aperture diamond drawing die coating Preparation equipment and preparation method, belong to metallurgical metalloid material coating technology field.
Background technology
The drawing die of large aperture serves many purposes, such as metal wire-drawing, the thinned of metal pipe-wall, sizing etc..It is drawn in tradition
It pulls out in industry, sintered-carbide die is with its cheap and be used widely, and in the drawing of diameter copper pipes, artificial gold
Hard rock drawing mould can not be completed, and hard alloy drawing mould is best selection, but the wearability of sintered carbide die is poor, mould
The service life of tool is short.And diamond thin has hardness, high elasticity modulus, the high heat for being sufficiently close to natural diamond
The excellent properties such as conductance, good self lubricity and chemical stability, so as to make it that there is wide application in tool and mould field
Prospect.With reaching its maturity for chemical CVD method depositing diamond film technology, die cost and using effect are considered, with
It is substrate that hard alloy, which draws molding tool, and one layer of Buddha's warrior attendant uniform, adhesive force can meet requirement is coated in its bore area
Stone film has become a reality, and is a kind of ideal method.
Chinese patent " preparation method of large aperture diamond coatings drawing die " (application number 02136951.8), it is proposed that
Aperture diameter is more than the hard alloy drawing die bore area of 15mm, is sunk using filament assembly instead of single vertical pulling filament CVD
The method of product micron diamond film and nano-diamond composite film.Using large aperture hard alloy drawing die as substrate, endoporus
Surface is added dropwise the cleaning of hydrogen peroxide burn into through dilute hydrochloric acid and is placed in reative cell, is formed and by round molybdenum sheet using by more heated filaments
Uniformly the squirrel-cage filament assembly of isolation distribution substitutes single heated filament, filament assembly pass through after drawing die endoporus with filament electrode
It is connected, is stretched with high temperature resistant spring, and filament assembly axis is made to coincide with die hole axis, by shortening heated filament and bore area
The distance between so that when drawing aperture diameter is more than 15mm, remains to the higher coating quality of holding and growth rate and carry
The uniformity of high coating.By adjusting CVD technological parameters (such as filament temperature, bias current power, reaction gas pressure.Carbon source concentration
With addition inert gas), to obtain micron diamond film or nano-diamond film.Aluminum steel is used for this drawing mould
Cable strand, life of the die can improve 5 times or so.
But in squirrel-cage filament assembly, the coating uniformity of bore area is improved, it can only be by increasing in filament assembly
The radical of heated filament, but heated filament radical is bigger, and the making of filament assembly is more troublesome.And with the increase heated filament radical in aperture
Increase, distance of the heated filament apart from endoporus generally takes 5-7mm, and distance is too small, and the uniformity of coating will be deteriorated, and opposite distance is too
Greatly, although being conducive to coating uniformity raising, coating quality and deposition rate can all decline.This defect causes to get over when aperture
Greatly, the effect of filament assembly is poorer, and it is not too large to limit the mold aperture diameter that can be deposited.And heated filament is laterally put
Putting can also collapse after the heating, disalignment.
