Background
Cemented carbides for metal cutting have experienced a development history of nearly 70 years, and one of the biggest inventions in this field is a thin coating with TiC, tiN, al-O components, which can greatly improve the metal removal rate of the tool. The development of cemented carbide coating manufacturing technology has gone through a history from the first high temperature chemical vapor deposition (HT-CVD) to low deposition temperatures (MT-CVD) and Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD). While the thickness and adhesion of the coating is improved, the composition of the substrate is constantly changing. Previously these substrates normally constituted an effective part of the tool, however, today the main function of the substrate material was to carry the coating, which is an effective cutting material. The coated substrate, usually in the form of a removable insert, is mounted on the tool and, once the coating has worn, can be easily replaced.
The development of cemented carbide substrate materials has experienced a progression from the use of composite polycrystalline diamond, carbides, nitrides to the use of WC-Co cemented carbide substrates. The demand for WC grains during sintering of cemented carbides is also increasing. Cemented carbide with a grain size of less than 1.3um is generally defined as fine-grained cemented carbide, with a grain size of less than 0.5um as ultra-fine-grained cemented carbide, and with a grain size of less than 0.2um as nano-cemented carbide. Ultra-fine grain WC-Co cemented carbides have been developed and used for drilling holes in composite printed circuits or similar applications, which require special machining methods to complete; but the traditional preparation process has the defects of long flow, large energy consumption, accumulated defects, poor product quality stability and the like.
