Definitions

  • the invention relates to heavy tungsten-nickel-iron alloys with very high mechanical characteristics and to a process for manufacturing said alloys.
  • the subject of the present invention is heavy alloys with very high mechanical characteristics, with a density between 15.6 and 18, containing between 80 and 99% by weight of tungsten in the form of nodules constituting the ⁇ phase, as well as nickel and iron. in a Ni / Fe weight ratio greater than or equal to 2 playing the role of binder and constituting the ⁇ phase and optionally molybdenum, titanium, aluminum, manganese, cobalt, rhenium, characterized in that, according to a direction transverse to the working, the ⁇ phase has the form of ellipsoids joined two by two in the vicinity of one of the ends of their major axis so as to form between said axes an acute angle, with dislocation cells of dimensions included between 0.01 and 1 ⁇ m, and the ⁇ phase of the binder has an average free path, defined as the average of the distances which in a given direction separates two successive zones of ⁇ phase, less than 15 ⁇ m.
  • the tungsten-nickel-iron alloys have a structure formed of pure tungsten nodules more or less spherodized during sintering constituting the ⁇ phase, these nodules being surrounded by a ⁇ phase composed of the three elements of the alloy which acts as a binder between said nodules.
  • the applicant has found that, in order to develop very high mechanical characteristics, the tungsten alloys must have a particular structure.
  • the invention also relates to a method for manufacturing alloys having such a structure and in which the value of the desired mechanical characteristics can be adjusted at will and in particular reaching a tensile strength close to 2000 MPa.
  • the invention consists of a succession of cycles which are all the more numerous when it is desired to reach structures corresponding to the highest values of the mechanical characteristics.
  • three cycles make it possible to reach a breaking strength of between 1400 and 1450 MPa, while at the end of four cycles, it is close to values of 1850 MPa.
  • Each of these cycles comprises in order a step of wrought-out carried out by hammering, for example, so as to develop a certain reduction rate of surface of the sintered compact between 10 and 50% followed by an annealing treatment by passage in an oven heated to a temperature below 1300 ° C under an inert atmosphere for 4 to 20 hours.
  • the wrought rates are lower and the temperatures higher than during the cycles later.
  • the suitable degree of wrought work is achieved by making at least two successive passes in the hammer hammer, for example, before carrying out the heat treatment.
  • FIG. 1 the nodular structure of the ⁇ phase of tungsten and the ⁇ phase of binder, the mean free path of which is close to 20 ⁇ m, are observed in white.
  • Figure 2 we see the formation of butterfly wings while the mean free path drops to around 10 to 14 ⁇ m.
  • FIG. 3 the trend observed in FIG. 2 is accentuated and the mean free path is in the range 3 to 7 ⁇ m.
  • FIG. 4 the rupture of the alloy is essentially internodular and cupular at the level of the ⁇ phase.
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 corresponding to test pieces with characteristics superior to those of FIG. 4, it can be seen that the global failure mode becomes transnodular with rare internodular rupture initiations.
  • the compacts with a diameter of 90 mm and a length of 500 mm were sintered in a passing oven at a temperature of 1490 ° C. for 5 hours then kept under vacuum for 25 hours in a heated oven. between 1000 and 1300 ° C.
