Description

HfC modified WC-Co composite material with nearly equal particle size, and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of hard alloy and powder metallurgy, in particular to a HfC modified WC-Co composite material with a nearly equal particle size, a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Tungsten carbide-cobalt (WC-Co) hard alloy has a series of excellent performances such as high strength, high hardness, high elastic modulus, high thermal conductivity, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and the like, so that the tungsten carbide-cobalt (WC-Co) hard alloy is widely applied to the industrial fields such as metal cutting processing, rock drilling and mining, forming dies, wear-resistant parts and the like.
Domestic and foreign researches show that the mechanical property of the WC-Co hard alloy can be effectively improved by refining the crystal grains of the WC-Co hard alloy. The sintering temperature of the traditional WC-Co hard alloy is generally between 1100 ℃ and 1600 ℃, WC crystal grains can be dissolved and separated out in a liquid phase in the temperature range, particularly when the hard alloy is sintered at the temperature above the temperature of the liquid phase generated by Co melting, the WC crystal grains obviously grow up, even the WC crystal grains abnormally grow up to form thick crystal grains, and the WC crystal grains can grow into the large crystal grains in a crystal grain rotating and combining mode even if the solid phase sintering is carried out at the temperature lower than the liquid phase forming temperature. However, the presence of coarse grains can lead to deterioration of the mechanical properties of the cemented carbide, thereby limiting the use of cemented carbides.
At present, the method for inhibiting the growth of WC crystal grains is mainly to add a crystal grain growth inhibitor, such as TiC, VC and Cr, into WC-Co hard alloy3C2Carbide or composite carbide such as TaC and NbC. There is no consensus on the mechanism of the inhibitor to refine the WC grains, but the following three can be basically classified: (1) the inhibitor can be adsorbed on the surface of the tungsten carbide particles to reduce the surface energy of the tungsten carbide, thereby reducing the dissolution speed of the tungsten carbide in a high-temperature liquid phase and the solubility of the tungsten carbide particles in the liquid phase, and effectively controlling the continuous growth process of tungsten carbide grains in the sintering process; (2) the inhibitor can be dissolved in Co in a solid manner, so that the solubility of W in Co is reduced, and the process of recrystallization of fine tungsten carbide particles through a liquid phase is hindered; (3) the inhibitor is partially polymerized along the WC/WC interface, so that the migration of the tungsten carbide interface is blocked, and further, the tungsten carbide particles are prevented from being aggregated and grown.
The grain size of the grain growth inhibitor adopted by the WC-Co hard alloy is generally 3-5 times or even higher than that of WC, so that the grain growth inhibitor is beneficial to relatively uniform distribution of a small amount of added inhibitor at a WC/WC grain interface, and the inhibition effect of the grain growth inhibitor on WC in the sintering process is fully exerted. Such a large difference in particle size generally corresponds to a large difference in grain size, and therefore, the grain growth inhibitor added to the WC cemented carbide suppresses the growth of WC grains, but causes a decrease in toughness of the WC — Co cemented carbide. In addition, the grain size of the grain growth inhibitor is mostly nano-scale, and agglomeration is easy to occur, so that the grain growth inhibitor is difficult to really realize uniform dispersion distribution in WC-Co alloy, and is not favorable for fully exerting the inhibition effect on the growth of WC grains, thereby reducing the improvement effect on the structure performance of the hard alloy.

3. after 0.9-1.1 wt% of HfC with nearly equal particle size is added into WC-Co, the WC crystal grains are refined by utilizing the inhibiting effect of HfC with lower content and particle size of 0.7-0.8 mu m on the growth of WC crystal grains, so that the hardness of the WC composite material is improved, the weakening effect of HfC with lower hardness on the hardness of the WC composite material is inhibited, and the toughness of the WC-Co composite material is improved by utilizing the good interface combination of HfC and Co;
4. the WC-Co composite material is prepared by adopting a method combining vacuum pretreatment and spark plasma sintering technologies, so that on one hand, the vacuum pretreatment is facilitated to promote the uniform distribution of Co among WC crystal grains and the wetting among WC-Co, on the other hand, the spark plasma sintering technology is utilized to realize the rapid sintering densification and inhibit the growth of crystal grains at a lower temperature, and the organization and the performance of the WC-Co composite material are further improved while the sintering preparation cost is reduced and the sintering preparation efficiency is improved.
