Description

Numerical simulation method for PIM (plasma independent deposition) mold filling process of superfine hard alloy step round rod
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of powder metallurgy near-net forming, and particularly relates to a numerical simulation method for a PIM (plasma independent deposition) mold filling process of a superfine hard alloy step round rod.
Background
Because of its high strength, hardness and wear resistance, the superfine WC-Co hard alloy is widely used in many fields such as tools, dies and wear-resistant parts, including metal cutting tools, wire drawing and stamping dies, sealing rings, nozzles, etc.
The superfine hard alloy Powder Injection Molding (PIM) not only can obtain the alloy with high strength, high hardness and high wear resistance, but also can prepare a near-net shaped product with a complex shape, and has the advantages which cannot be compared with the conventional powder metallurgy and machining method.
The mold filling process of powder injection molding is a non-isothermal, non-stationary complex flow of a non-newtonian fluid, which is a multi-phase flow process comprising powder particles in a solid phase, a binder in a liquid phase, and a gas in a mold cavity. Because the superfine WC/Co mixture has particle agglomeration, the tap density is only 25-40% of the theoretical density; powder agglomerated particles still exist in the superfine WC/Co feed, the WC/Co particles are not sufficiently wrapped by the binder, the thermal stability of the feed is low, the reduction range of the flowability of the superfine feed is reduced to 60 percent at most due to the powder agglomeration, the production process is difficult to control effectively, and the cost of experimental research is high. With the development of computer technology, for the repeated debugging and correcting process in the traditional die production, the numerical simulation can effectively optimize the process parameters, improve the die quality and reduce the production cost. At present, no relevant report of numerical simulation of the mold filling process of the ultrafine hard alloy injection molding is found.

The volume fraction distribution of the feed melt and the variation of the powder temperature distribution on the central plane perpendicular to the gate during the filling of the ultrafine WC/10Co feed mold in this example are shown in FIG. 2. As can be seen from fig. 2, the temperature field, the distribution volume fraction, and the like of each of the binder, the powder, the air, and the like during the mold filling process can be analyzed by the numerical simulation of the mold filling process according to the present invention. Similarly, the filling characteristics of each phase in the feeding and filling process can be further analyzed through physical fields such as a speed field, a viscosity field, a density field and the like, and the generation reasons of defects such as bubbles, segregation and the like can be further analyzed. Therefore, the invention is beneficial to effectively mastering the respective mold filling characteristics of the powder and the binding agent, inspects the generation of defects such as air bubbles, collapse and the like in the process of feeding and mold filling the superfine hard alloy, and provides useful information for analyzing process conditions and feeding properties, guiding process parameters and designing a mold.

The speed difference of the adhesive and the powder at the gate of the melt is large, the speed difference is reduced along with further mold filling, the speed difference of the adhesive and the powder is increased along with the increase of the speed difference after flowing into the narrow section, and the speed difference is increased along with the further increase of the flowing distance. Therefore, in the mold filling process, the longer the melt flow distance, the lower the speed of the binder and the powder, the larger the speed difference, the more serious the segregation phenomenon and the greater the phase separation tendency. Therefore, when the speed difference near the gate is close to that at the gate, the powder loading of the feeding material is the critical powder loading, so that the critical powder loading of the ultrafine cemented carbide WC/10Co can be determined through the numerical simulation of the mold filling process.
This example allows analysis of powder loading versus ultra-fine WThe influence of the volume fraction distribution of the binder and the powder along the gate direction during the PIM mold filling process of the C/10Co cemented carbide is shown in fig. 4 and 5, where X is 2.8mm at the gate. It can be seen that the volume fraction distribution of binder and powder is essentially the same for different powder loadings when
Figure BDA0001188232830000101
When the process is carried out, the distribution of the binder and the powder is most stable, namely the reasonable loading of the superfine WC/10Co feeding material is about 53 percent.
The reasonable loading capacity of the WC/10Co feed obtained by the method is 53 percent, is consistent with the experimental result, and the WC-10Co alloy has the best comprehensive performance when the loading capacity is 53 percent as shown in figure 6, so the numerical simulation method is reasonable, can effectively analyze the segregation generation source and the influence factors thereof in the mold filling process, and provides useful information for analyzing the process conditions and the feed property, guiding the process parameters and designing the mold.
