Definitions
- the invention relates to a hard metal or cermet body with a hard phase consisting of WC and / or at least one carbide, nitride, carbonitride and / or oxicarbonitride of at least one of the elements of the IVa, Va or Vla group of the periodic table and a binder metal phase Fe, Co and / or Ni, the proportion of which is 3 to 25% by mass.
- the invention further relates to a method for producing such a hard metal or cermet body by mixing, grinding, granulating and pressing a starting mixture containing corresponding constituents and then sintering.
- EP 0 344 421 A1 proposes a cermet which should either have an average grain size of the hard material phase in the surface layer compared to a core with a penetration depth of 0.05 mm, which is between 0.8 and 1.2 times that average grain size of the hard material phase in the cermet core or in the same penetration depth relates to a binder phase which corresponds to 0.7 to 1.2 times the average binder content of the cermet core or in which the hardness in the aforementioned penetration depth between the 0.95 and 1.1 times the average hardness of the cermet core.
- the starting mixture is sintered after grinding, mixing and pre-pressing, sintering in a first stage up to 1300 ° C or below under vacuum or an inert gas atmosphere, while in a second stage above 1300 ° C at a nitrogen pressure of 0.1 to 20 torr (13.3 Pa to 2.66 x 10 3 Pa) is sintered, and the nitrogen pressure should also rise with increasing temperature.
- EP 0 368 336 B1 describes a cermet substrate with a hard surface layer in which the region with the maximum hardness is present at a depth between 5 ⁇ m and 50 ⁇ m from the substrate surface, and the substrate surface has a hardness of 20 to 90% of the maximum Hardness.
- the pre-pressed mixture is subjected to an initial temperature increase to 1100 ° C. in a vacuum, a subsequent temperature increase from 1100 ° C. to a temperature range between 1400 ° C. and 1500 ° C. in a nitrogen atmosphere, and a subsequent sintering in a vacuum.
- EP 0 374 358 B1 describes a process for producing a cermet with 7 to 20% by weight binder phase and a hard phase made of titanium carbide, titanium nitride and / or titanium carbonitride with 35 to 59% by weight Ti, 9 to 29% by weight W, 0.4 to 3.5% by weight Mo, 4 to 24% by weight of at least one metal from Ta, Nb, V and Zr, 5.5 to 9.5% by weight N 2 and 4, 5 to 12 wt .-% C.
- the formulated, mixed, dried and pre-pressed mass is sintered in such a way that the temperature is raised to 1350 ° C. in vacuo, the nitrogen atmosphere being set to 1 Torr (133 Pa) at 1350 ° C. , the nitrogen partial pressure is gradually increased together with the temperature increase from 1350 ° C. to the sintering temperature, the nitrogen atmosphere being set to 5 Torr (665 Pa) at the sintering temperature.
- EP 0 492 059 A2 describes a cermet body whose hardness is at a penetration depth of not less than 1 mm higher than in the interior of the cermet, the binder content in a layer thickness of 0.5 to 3 ⁇ m compared to the core substrate being able to be minimized.
- the cermet should have a hard material coating in a thickness of 0.5 to 20 ⁇ m made of carbides, nitrides, oxides and borides of titanium and A1 2 0 3 .
- a green body is first heated to a temperature between 1100 ° C and 1400 ° C under vacuum, then nitrogen gas let in up to a pressure at which the partial nitrogen pressure is between 5 and 10 Torr (665 and 1330 Pa), so that the substrate surface is denitrified.
- the sintering and the final cooling are carried out under a non-oxidizing atmosphere, such as a vacuum or an inert gas atmosphere.
- the body is coated using CVD or PVD.
- EP 0 499 223 suggests that the relative concentration of the binder in a 10 ⁇ m-thick layer near the surface be 5 to 50% of the average mean content of binder in the cermet core and in the layer below it from 10 ⁇ m to 100 ⁇ m penetration depth adjust the binder content to 70 to 100% relative to the cermet core.
- the sintering is carried out under nitrogen gas at a constant pressure of 5 to 30 Torr (665 to 3.99 x 10 3 Pa) and the cooling under vacuum at a cooling rate of 10 to 20 ° C / min.
- EP 0 519 895 A1 discloses a cermet with a three-layer edge zone in which the first layer extends to a depth of 50 ⁇ m TiN, the next layer from 50 to 150 ⁇ m penetration depth with a binder enrichment and the next layer from 150 ⁇ m to 400 ⁇ m is formed with a binder depletion relative to the interior of the cermet core.
- the sintered body is in an atmosphere of N 2 and / or NH 3, possibly in combination with CH 4 , CO, C0 2 at 1100 ° C to 1350 ° C for 1 to 25 hours at atmospheric pressure or a pressure above 1.1 bar ( 1.1 x 10 5 Pa) treated.
- the cermets known from the prior art either have different binder contents on the surface, which is recognizable by their spotty appearance, or tend to adhere. tings of the binder with the sintered base, which leads to changes in the composition in the contact zone due to the associated reaction.
- Another disadvantage of the cermets known to date in the prior art is the poor adhesion of wear protection layers applied to the surface when the binder metal content is increased. If there is an increased nickel content in the surface, no CVD coating is possible at all.
- a cermet is therefore proposed in DE 44 23 451 AI which has a hard material content of 95 to 75% by mass and 5 to 25% by mass of Co and / or Ni binder, the hard material phase consisting of carbonitrides with cubic Bl -Crystalline structure exists and 30 to 60 mass% Ti, 5 to 25 mass% W, 5 to 15 mass% Ta, of which up to 70 mass% can be replaced by Nb, 0 to 12 mass% Mo, 0 to 5 mass% V , 0 to 2 mass% Cr, 0 to 1 mass% Hf and / or Zr contains.
- the (C + N) content in the carbonitride phase should be> 80 mol%, the nitrogen content N / (C + N) being between 0.15 and 0.7.
- the content of the binder phase in relation to the underlying cermet core area is less than 30% by mass.
- the titanium content is 1.1 to 1.3 times as large as in the underlying cermet core areas, whereas the sum of the contents of tungsten, tantalum and any proportions of molybdenum, niobium, vanadium and / or chromium in only 0 , 7 to 1 times the amount relative to the underlying cermet core areas.
- the relative content of binder phase is 90% by mass
- the relative Ti content is 100% to 120%
- the sum of the contents of tungsten, tantalum and possibly molybdenum, niobium, vanadium, chromium is between 80 in the same surface zone % By mass and 110% by mass, each relative to the core of the cermet.
- This edge structure according to the above-mentioned document is produced by a process for cermet production, according to which the green compact produced by mixing, milling, granulating and pressing is first heated to the melting point of the binder phase under vacuum with a pressure below 10 "1 mbar (10 Pa).
- EP 0 687 744 A2 also describes a nitrogen-containing sintered hard metal alloy with at least 75% by weight and a maximum of 95% by weight of hard phase, which contains titanium, an element from the Via group of the periodic table and WC, the remainder of the binder phase made of nickel and cobalt.
- the alloy has 5% by weight to 60% by weight of titanium in the form of TiC and 30% by weight to 70% by weight of a metal in the form of a metal carbide.
- the cemented carbide alloy should have a soft, outermost surface layer, which consists of a binder phase and WC. Under this outermost layer is a 3 ⁇ m to 30 ⁇ m thick layer, which should consist essentially of WC with a low proportion of binder metal.
- a sintered hard metal alloy of the composition mentioned at the outset likewise describes EP 0 822 265 A2.
- the sintered body produced from this should have an edge region which is divided into three layers, of which the outermost layer has a WC content between 0 and 30% by volume, the remainder of the binder phase middle layer 50 vol .-% to 100 vol .-% WC, rest of the binder phase, and a third bottom layer has a WC volume fraction between 0 and 30 vol .-%, rest of the binder.
- covalent hard materials such as e.g. Diamond, cubic boron nitride, carbon nitride, fullerenes and metallic hard materials (carbides, nitrides, carbonitrides or oxicarbonitrides of the elements of the IVa to Vla group of the periodic table) as well as other layers which contain at least one of the elements B, C, N or 0 , guaranteed.
- a hard metal or cermet body according to claim 1 which according to the invention is characterized in that WC crystallites protrude from the body surface by 2 to 20 ⁇ m, preferably 5 to 10 ⁇ m.
- a coarse-grained surface morphology is created by these crystals, which creates the adhesion of applied surface layers by interlocking the crystallites with the deposited phases.
- These WC crystallites are so firmly integrated into the near-surface edge zone that they did not break out even during trial grinding work. The created surface roughness thus provides an ideal “anchorage" for the application of surface coatings.
- the proportion of WC in the total hard material phase of the hard metal or cermet body is at least 50% by mass and a maximum of 96% by mass.
- the WC crystallites are preferably on the Body edge zone or surface connected with up to 50 vol .-% of a cubic phase of another hard material of different composition and binding metal parts.
- This cubic phase can essentially consist of carbides, nitrides, carbonitrides and / or oxicarbonitrides of at least one of the IVa, Va and / or Vla elements (except W) of the periodic system.
- the cubic phase can be single or multi-phase, in particular, for example, consist of Ti (C, N) and (Ti, W) C.
