Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. The examples, in which specific conditions are not specified, were conducted under conventional conditions or conditions recommended by the manufacturer. The reagents or instruments used are not indicated by the manufacturer, and are all conventional products available commercially.
The following is a detailed description of the copper-tungsten alloy part and the method for manufacturing the same provided in the present application.
The application provides a manufacturing method of a copper-tungsten alloy part, which comprises the following steps: mixing tungsten powder and copper powder to obtain tungsten-copper mixed powder, banburying, granulating to obtain feed, injecting the feed into a part green blank, and performing degreasing, high-temperature sintering and hot isostatic pressing treatment.
In the application, the tungsten powder is spherical tungsten powder with the particle size of less than 10 microns, and the copper powder is spherical copper powder with the particle size of less than 15 microns.
It is emphasized that the spherical tungsten powder and copper powder adopted by the method have better fluidity than other forms, and are beneficial to being uniformly mixed with the high-molecular binder.
The particle size of the tungsten powder may be, by reference, less than 10 μm, less than 9 μm, less than 8 μm, less than 7 μm, less than 6 μm, less than 5 μm, less than 4 μm, less than 3 μm, less than 2 μm, less than 1 μm, or the like. In some preferred embodiments, the tungsten powder has a particle size of 2 to 3 μm.
In alternative embodiments, the particle size of the copper powder may be less than 15 μm, less than 14 μm, less than 13 μm, less than 12 μm, less than 11 μm, less than 10 μm, less than 9 μm, less than 8 μm, less than 7 μm, less than 6 μm, less than 5 μm, less than 4 μm, less than 3 μm, less than 2 μm, or less than 1 μm, and the like. In some preferred embodiments, the copper powder has a particle size of 6-8 μm.
It is worth explaining that the tungsten powder and the copper powder with the particle sizes are fine, and can be well molded after being mixed with the high polymer binder, so that the shape of the high polymer binder can be effectively kept in the subsequent process of removing the high polymer binder, and the problem of deformation is avoided.
The particle size of the copper powder is not more than 8 mu m, especially 30 mu m, on one hand, the copper powder can not be filled in part of the micro copper-tungsten alloy part, even the copper powder can not be filled in the part after pressing, and the performance of the final alloy part can not reach the standard; on the other hand, the problem that tungsten copper powder particles are unevenly distributed in the feeding process easily after the particle size exceeds 8 mu m can be avoided, the difficulty in controlling the size precision in the subsequent degreasing and sintering process is greatly increased, the production cost is improved, and the yield and the production efficiency are reduced.
Preferably, the mass fraction of the tungsten powder in the tungsten-copper mixed powder may be 70 to 90%, such as 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, or 90%, and may be any other value within a range of 70 to 90%. Wherein, the higher the content of the tungsten powder is, the higher the hardness of the corresponding tungsten-copper alloy part is.
The tungsten powder and the copper powder can be mechanically mixed to obtain tungsten-copper mixed powder.
Bearing on the above, the particle size of the tungsten powder and the copper powder has a great influence on the dimensional accuracy and performance of the microminiature tungsten-copper alloy part, and the inventor researches and proposes that: the tungsten powder and the copper powder are spherical powder, the particle size of the tungsten powder is less than 10 mu m, and the average particle size is 2-3 mu m; when the particle size of the copper powder is less than 15 mu m and the average particle size is 6-8 mu m, the size precision and the performance of the microminiature tungsten-copper alloy part are better.
Further, banburying, crushing and granulating the tungsten-copper mixed powder to obtain a feed (tungsten-copper alloy feed).
Wherein, the banburying can be carried out after mixing the tungsten-copper mixed powder and the macromolecular binder.
The high molecular binder used herein is, by reference, a paraffin-based binder, and may include, for example, at least three of Paraffin Wax (PW), Microcrystalline Wax (MW), High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), polypropylene (PP), vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), Stearic Acid (SA), and pentaerythritol tetrastearate (PETS).
The inventor proposes that: compared with other binders such as polymer-based binders and the like, the paraffin-based binder has better fluidity, and the tungsten-copper alloy feed after banburying has good compatibility of each component, good fluidity and good filling effect, and is more suitable for injecting micro tungsten-copper alloy part green bodies.
In some preferred embodiments, the paraffin-based binder is comprised of paraffin wax, microcrystalline wax, polypropylene, vinyl acetate copolymer, and stearic acid. Preferably, the paraffin-based binder consists of, by mass, 50%: 18%: 20%: 10%: 2% of paraffin wax, microcrystalline wax, polypropylene, vinyl acetate copolymer and stearic acid.
The amount of paraffin-based binder may, by reference, be from 4 to 8 wt%, such as 4 wt%, 4.5 wt%, 5 wt%, 5.5 wt%, 6 wt%, 6.5 wt%, 7 wt%, 7.5 wt%, or 8 wt% of the feed, and the like, and may be any other value within the range of from 4 to 8 wt%. In addition, the mass ratio of the paraffin-based binder in the tungsten-copper alloy feed can be adjusted according to the mass fraction of tungsten powder in the mixed powder.
Compared with a plastic-based binder, on the basis of using the same amount of tungsten-copper mixed powder, the amount of the paraffin-based binder which needs to be used in combination is about 10% lower than that of the plastic-based binder, and the plastic-based binder has poorer flowability, so that the processing of raw materials with specific particle sizes in the application is not facilitated, and micro tungsten-copper alloy parts with better compactness and hardness cannot be obtained.
Crushing and granulating can be referred to the prior art, and will not be described in detail herein.
In the present application, the injection temperature can be 140-160 ℃, such as 140 ℃, 145 ℃, 150 ℃, 155 ℃ or 160 ℃ or any other value within the range of 140-160 ℃ during the injection process.
The temperature of the mold may be 30-40 deg.C, such as 32 deg.C, 35 deg.C, 38 deg.C or 40 deg.C, or may be any other value within the range of 30-40 deg.C.
It should be emphasized that if the injection temperature is higher than 160 ℃, such as 180-; in addition, the viscosity of the polymer binder is reduced due to the excessively high injection temperature, which causes the polymer binder to flow faster in the mold runner, and causes the metal powder and the polymer to separate into two phases, resulting in uneven distribution of components in the product.
As for the temperature of the die, the temperature of the die needs to be controlled to be 30-40 ℃, and cannot be set to be higher than 60 ℃, otherwise, the die can be seriously deformed after being demoulded.
On the basis, under the injection conditions, the green compact of the micro tungsten-copper alloy part obtained by injection has high density and few defects, two-phase separation is not generated, and the surface quality of the green compact is high.
Further, the green part is degreased.
In this application, degreasing includes solvent degreasing and thermal degreasing, which are performed sequentially, unlike conventional catalytic degreasing principles and methods. In this application, solvent degreasing is used to dissolve the paraffin-based substances, and thermal degreasing is used to decompose the rest of the paraffin-based binder into gas.
In some embodiments, solvent degreasing may be by soaking the green part in 40-50 deg.C n-heptane or kerosene for 12-24 h. The thermal degreasing can be realized by thermally degreasing the green part subjected to solvent degreasing for 1-2h under negative pressure at the temperature of 400-600 ℃ to obtain the ash blank of the part.
The above negative pressure thermal degreasing is performed in a nitrogen atmosphere.
Further, the part gray blank is sintered.
The sintering temperature may be 1200-1400 deg.C, such as 1200 deg.C, 1250 deg.C, 1300 deg.C, 1350 deg.C or 1400 deg.C, or any other value within the range of 1200-1400 deg.C.
In the above process, the sintering atmosphere may be pure hydrogen or ammonia decomposition gas.
In some embodiments, sintering is performed by loading the degreased part ash into a boat and embedding the boat in alumina (e.g., corundum). The alumina plays a role in supporting and protecting the shape in the process.
Further, hot isostatic pressing treatment can be carried out on the sintered part after sintering.
The hot isostatic pressing treatment temperature is 800-1000 ℃, and the pressure is 100-150 MPa.
The hot isostatic pressing temperature may be 800-1000 ℃, such as 800 ℃, 850 ℃, 900 ℃, 950 ℃ or 1000 ℃, or any other value within the range of 800-1000 ℃.
The hot isostatic pressure may, by reference, be 100-.
Correspondingly, the application also provides a copper-tungsten alloy part which is manufactured by the manufacturing method.
The copper-tungsten alloy part is a three-dimensional part, and the size of the three-dimensional part in the x axis, the y axis and the z axis is less than 2 mm.
In some embodiments, the compactness of the copper-tungsten alloy part is more than 98%, and the hardness is between 180 HB and 270 HB.
In summary, by the manufacturing process provided by the application, the micro tungsten-copper alloy parts with three dimensions smaller than 2mm can be produced in large scale, and the produced micro tungsten-copper alloy parts are high in size precision, high in density, excellent in physical mechanical property, strong in controllability, few or no machining is needed subsequently, and low in cost. The compactness of the micro tungsten-copper alloy part obtained by the method is more than 98%, and the hardness is adjustable within the range of 180 HB and 270HB according to the components of the tungsten-copper alloy.

Therefore, compared with the copper-tungsten alloy parts obtained by the comparative examples 1-3, the copper-tungsten alloy part obtained by the example 1 has higher compactness and hardness.
For comparative examples 4-8:
in comparison example 4, the shape retention of the degreased green body of the part is extremely poor, the yield is extremely low, and the tungsten-copper alloy part meeting the requirements cannot be obtained.
In comparative example 5, feeding injection was difficult and it was difficult to obtain a green part meeting the requirements.
Comparative example 6, injection temperature is too high, and paraffin burning loss is severe in the injection process, and a large amount of overlap burrs are produced on part unburned bricks surface, and the inside air that is very easily drawn into of part, can't obtain the part unburned bricks that satisfy the demands.
Comparative example 7 the green part was very susceptible to deformation during demolding, or even impossible.
In comparison example 8, the binder in the green part is difficult to remove under the environment of oxalic acid, and the degreasing effect is poor.
In summary, the particle shapes and the particle sizes of the tungsten powder and the copper powder as raw materials and the mass fraction of the tungsten powder in the tungsten-copper mixed powder are controlled, and the tungsten powder and the copper powder are subjected to injection, sintering and hot isostatic pressing under the conditions of a better injection and sintering process to obtain the micro tungsten-copper alloy part with three dimensions smaller than 2 mm.
