Performance testing
The density and hardness of the cemented carbide sintered pieces prepared in examples 1 to 8 and comparative examples 1 to 8 of the present invention and the abnormal growth of WC grains were measured, and the specific results are shown in table 1, and the specific test method is as follows:
the density method comprises the following steps: and carrying out water bath treatment on the sintered part, wherein the water bath temperature is 80-100 ℃, the water bath time is 0.5-2.5 h, and then carrying out density measurement on the sintered part by using an Archimedes drainage method.
Vickers hardness test method: cutting the sample piece by using a cutting machine, polishing the cut section by using a metallographic polishing machine, wiping the polished surface, placing on a Vickers hardness tester, and testing by adopting the national standard GB/T4340.1-2009.
The abnormal growth of WC crystal grains is observed by cutting and polishing the sintered piece and placing the sintered piece in a scanning electron microscope for observation.
Wherein, the electron microscope image of the hard alloy sample prepared in the example 2 is shown in fig. 1; an electron micrograph of the cemented carbide sample prepared in comparative example 2 is shown in fig. 2. The comparison of the electron micrographs of other examples and corresponding comparative examples also shows the effect of comparing example 2 and comparative example 2.
As can be seen from Table 1, the density of the hard alloy sample prepared in the embodiments 1-8 of the present invention reaches about 99%, the density is nearly fully dense, WC grains are obviously refined and uniformly distributed (as shown in FIG. 1), and no WC grains grow abnormally. In comparative examples 1 to 8 in which Cr3C2 was not added, WC grains grew abnormally and severely (as shown in fig. 2), and the hardness of the prepared cemented carbide was significantly lower than that of the examples. Therefore, the Cr3C2 is added on the basis of WC-Co/Ni/Fe in the design of the hard alloy material, so that the abnormal growth of WC crystal grains can be effectively inhibited, and the mechanical property of the hard alloy manufactured by additive manufacturing is obviously improved. And when the mass part of the added chromium carbide is 0.5-1, the density of the hard alloy prepared by the WC-Co/Ni/Fe hard alloy mixed powder added with the chromium carbide is higher than that of a product without the chromium carbide.
