Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the use of molybdenum-containing binder alloy powders for the production of tungsten carbide-based sintered cemented carbides.
  • Cemented carbide is a sintered composite of hardeners, such as carbides, and a continuous binder alloy.
  • Sintered cemented carbides are used in a wide variety of ways and are used to process virtually all known materials such as wood, metal, stone and composite materials such as glass / epoxy resin, chipboard, concrete or asphalt / concrete. Due to machining, forming and friction processes locally limited temperatures up to 1000 ° C. In other cases, forming operations of metallic workpieces are performed at high temperatures, such as forging, wire drawing or rolling.
  • the cemented carbide tool may be subject to oxidation, corrosion and diffusive as well as adhesive wear, while being subject to high mechanical stress, which may lead to deformation of the cemented carbide tool.
  • adhesive wear is understood to mean the phenomenon that occurs when two bodies touch each other and at least briefly enter into a welded and firm connection, which is released again by an external force, the material of one body adhering to the other body
  • diffusive wear is understood to mean the phenomenon that occurs when two materials are in contact with one another and a component diffuses from one material into the other material, so that a crater is formed in the first material.
  • WO 2007/057533 (Eurotungstene Poudres) describes alloy powder based on FeCoCu with 15 to 35% Cu and 1.9 to 8.5% Mo for the production of diamond tools.
  • the FSSS value is typically 3 ⁇ m. These powders are not suitable for use in the field of hard metals because of the high FSSS value, measured according to the granulometric method of Fisher or according to the standard ISO 10070, and because of the content of Cu of more than 500 ppm.
  • the molybdenum is added as a water-soluble ammonium salt to the oxide before it is reduced with hydrogen to the metal powder.
  • EP 1 492 897 B1 (Umicore) describes alloy powder based on FeCoNiMoWCuSn for the production of diamond tools, the sum of the contents of Cu and Sn being in the range of 5 to 45%.
  • both elements are detrimental to hard metals, since Cu is sweated out during sintering, and Sn leads to pore formation. These alloy powders are therefore not suitable for the production of hard metals.
  • EP 0 865 511 B9 (Umicore) describes alloy powder based on FeCoNi with a maximum FSSS value of 8 ⁇ m, which can contain up to 15% Mo, but which is at least partially present as an oxide. These powders also contain between 10 and 80% Fe, up to 40% Co and up to 60% Ni, and are used to make diamond tools. In addition, similar powders, but with Co and Ni are ever described up to 30%. Not suitable because of the content of copper for alloy powder after WO 98/49 361 (Umicore) EP 1 042 523 B1 (Eurotungstene Poudres) and KR 062 925 ,
  • EP 1 043 411 B1 describes carbide-Co (W, Mo) composite powder wherein the binder alloy is prepared by pyrolysis of organic precursor compounds. The onset of alloying of cobalt with Mo and / or W avoids the appearance of porosity, as occurs with the addition of metals.
  • the method described is disadvantageous in comparison with the use of alloyed powders according to the invention, since the carbon content of the composite powder changes during the pyrolysis of the organic precursor compounds (carbon precipitation or removal by methane formation), so that the carbon content must be analyzed and adjusted again prior to sintering , It also remains unclear in which form Mo or W are present after sintering, since neither comparative experiments nor information on the alloy state of Mo and W before sintering nor values for magnetic saturation.
  • the described method produces a fixed formulation with regard to the content and the composition of the carbide and binder alloy phase and is therefore too inflexible in practice since an uncomplicated and rapid change of the formulation is cumbersome depending on the application of the cemented carbide to be produced.
  • WO 2008/065136 A2 describes pre-alloyed metal powders which contain the elements iron, cobalt and molybdenum and which advantageously have an average particle size according to ASTM B330 (FSSS) of less than 8 ⁇ m.
  • the BET surface area of the pre-alloyed Powder is generally more than 0.5 m 2 / g.
  • the alloy powders contain 20% by weight to 90% by weight of iron, up to 65% by weight of cobalt, 3% by weight to 60% by weight of molybdenum, in each case based on the total metal content.
  • other metals from the group consisting of tungsten, copper, nickel, vanadium, titanium, tantalum, niobium, manganese, and aluminum may be included.
  • tungsten or copper may be contained in amounts of up to 25 wt .-%. Copper is advantageously contained in amounts of up to 10% by weight.
  • nickel may be contained in amounts of up to 10 wt .-%, particularly advantageously contains the alloy powder no nickel, except for unavoidable impurities. Other constituents of the alloy powders may still be unavoidable impurities.
  • JP 60-255952 describes a binder alloy powder in Example 1, Table 1 containing 2-10% by weight of iron, 1-5% by weight of molybdenum, 3-5% by weight of nickel, and 5-13% by weight of cobalt. Powders containing 72-79% by weight of WC are used to make a cemented carbide.
  • FeCoMo-based alloy powders having an FSSS value ⁇ 8 ⁇ m and a specific surface area of greater than 0.5 m 2 / g have become known ( DE 10 2006 057 004 A1 ) which are used to produce carbon-free high speed steels via a powder metallurgy process. These may optionally contain up to 10% or 25% Ni, but most preferably do not contain nickel beyond the level of unavoidable impurities. They preferably consist of 20 to 90% Fe, up to 65% Co and 3 to 60% Mo. Since pure FeCo alloys without alloying Ni are not suitable for hard metals because of their brittleness and poor corrosion and oxidation resistance, these alloy powders no solution to the problem suggested. In addition, the preferred range is high Mo contents, and use for producing liquid phase sintered carbonaceous hard metals having a hard phase as a hard carrier such as carbides is not described.
  • the metal cobalt when used as the sole binding metal, in particular for tungsten carbide, brings with it a health hazard. It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an additional alloying element and its provision for the production of sintered ones
  • carbide materials which allows the use of FeCoNi binders instead of Co at high operating temperatures of 400 to 800 ° C, without the disadvantages such as binder lakes, the lack of interpretability of the magnetic saturation or an unknown portion of the element in the binder phase occur, wherein the element in question leads to an increase in the hot hardness in the range 400 to 800 ° C.
  • the content of the element in question should be as low as possible and distributed as much as possible to improve its effectiveness.
  • This object is achieved by using an iron, cobalt or nickel-containing binder metal powder, which iron in an amount of 0.1 to 65 wt .-%, cobalt in an amount of 0.1 to 60 wt .-% and nickel in one Amount of 20 to 60 wt .-% comprises.
  • the binder alloy powder used also contains 0.1 to 10 wt .-% of molybdenum, based on the total binder metal powder, in alloyed or pre-alloyed form.
  • the binder alloy powder used contains 0.10 wt .-% to 3 wt .-% molybdenum, more preferably 0.5 wt .-% to 2 wt .-% molybdenum, most preferably 0.5 wt .-% bis 1.7 wt .-% molybdenum, each based on the total binding metal powder.
  • the binder alloy powder used has an FSSS value measured with the Fisher Sub Siever Sizer apparatus according to the ASTM B330 standard of 0.5 to 3 ⁇ m, and preferably of in the range of 0.8 to 2 ⁇ m, in particular 1 up to 2 ⁇ m.
  • the elements Mn and Cr are each contained in contents of less than 1%.
  • the binding alloy powder used contains the molybdenum completely in non-oxidic form or completely in alloyed metallic form.
  • the binder alloy powder used contains at most 20% by weight of tungsten, preferably at most 10% by weight of tungsten, based on the total binder alloy.
  • the preferred alloy powder is substantially free of tungsten, and has a tungsten content of less than 1 percent by weight.
  • At least one constituent of the binder alloy is used as a powdery alloy of at least one metal with molybdenum, and the respective remaining constituents of the binder alloy are used as elements or alloys respectively containing no molybdenum.
  • the sintering of the binder alloy powder takes place together with the hard materials as liquid phase sintering.
  • the hard metals produced by the process of the invention require for their intended use of sufficient stability with respect to the plastic deformability and the temperature-dependent creep behavior.
  • the creep of a material such as plastic deformation, is a major failure mechanism of a material and must be avoided at all costs. Deformation mechanisms are subject to the well-known time laws of load-dependent creep, where the creep rate depends not only on the load but also strongly on the temperature. In addition, the prevailing creep mechanism changes - activated by the temperature.
  • the creep rate is determined mainly by deformation of the metallic binder phase, above about 800 ° C, the binder phase is so soft that it is practically meaningless for the creep resistance, ie for temperatures greater than 800 ° C, the load-bearing strength of the hard material phase becomes decisive.
  • This load-bearing capacity depends on the particle shape and size distribution of the hard material phase as well as on the proportion of heat-resistant, cubic carbides. Therefore, all cemented carbide materials used for machining steels also contain, in addition to WC, shares of cubic carbides such as TiC, TaC, NbC, VC, ZrC or mixed carbides such as TaNbC, WTiC or WVC.
  • the hardness of a material is indirectly a measure of its plastic deformability.
  • the central consideration is that in the emergence of the hardness impression plastic deformation processes predominate, so that the size of the hardness impression at sufficiently high load and load duration is a measure of the plastic deformability of the material at a given pressure load.
  • liquid-phase sintering in the binder phase dissolves both tungsten, carbon, and small amounts of metals which form cubic carbides, such as V, Ta, Ti, and Nb.
  • Cr if Cr carbide is used as a so-called “grain growth brake", that is, as a grain growth inhibiting agent, for the growth of the WC entering during sintering.
  • liquid phase sintering sintering at temperatures so high that the binder alloy at least partially melts.
  • the liquid phase during sintering of hard metals is a consequence of the sintering temperatures, which are generally between 1100 ° C and 1550 ° C.
  • the molten phase - essentially the binder metal such as cobalt, or the binder metal alloy or alloys used or used - is in equilibrium with the hard materials, the principle of solubility product applies. This means that the less carbon is dissolved in the melt, the more tungsten is contained in the melt, and vice versa.
  • W: C 1
  • the tungsten: carbon ratio in the melt reaches a critically low size, it separates on cooling
  • chromium carbide releases metallic chromium as the first carbide with increasing carbon deficiency, which dissolves in the binder alloy, but surprisingly molybdenum is already the next unstable carbide, even before tungsten. Therefore, there is the theoretical possibility of alloying a hard metal binder with larger contents of molybdenum without the formation of eta phases (n phases) due to a lack of carbon in the binder phase.
  • the above series of metal carbides is also a measure of the affinity of the metal for carbon. For example, titanium competes with Cr 3 C 2 for the carbon, so that chromium is preferably present as metal and titanium as carbide.
  • Tungsten carbide must be present as a hardness carrier in the material; Therefore, all carbides that are in the above row to the left of tungsten carbide, ie less stable than tungsten carbide with respect to the release of the metal from the corresponding carbide, are suitable for increasing the hot hardness since they can transition to the metallic binder phase without it to the formation of carbon deficient carbides, the so-called. ⁇ -phases comes.
  • the content of chromium or tungsten is very important for the high-temperature properties of the binder alloy, since these elements lead to an increase in the heat resistance and thus to an increase in the deformation resistance. Therefore, carbide grades to be used as tools (inserts), for example for turning steels, are so sintered with respect to the carbon budget that the tungsten content in the binder alloy, which generally comprises cobalt, becomes maximum without causing formation comes from eta-phases ( ⁇ -phases). Even with tools for drilling or milling metal processing, which contain Cr carbide, the carbon content is adjusted so that as much as possible Cr is contained in the binder alloy. Since the magnetic saturation of the cobalt steadily decreases with increasing Cr and W content, a non-destructive examination of the alloy state via the measurement of the magnetic saturation is very easily possible, which measurement method represents the industrial standard.
  • chromium because of its anti-ferromagnetic character, makes it difficult to determine the carbon content in the cemented carbide, and thus the chromium and tungsten content, because the uniqueness of the relationship between magnetic saturation on the one hand and chromium and tungsten content on the other hand is lost. Consequently, the absence of ⁇ -phases can not be excluded only due to the measurement of the magnetic saturation.
  • the hot hardness of the binder alloy can be increased by precipitation or alloying of other metals.
  • alloying elements only those metals come into question that do not form stable carbides, that is those carbides that are not more stable than tungsten carbide, and therefore the conditions for a significant Bring solubility in the binder alloy. If, for example, the binder were to be alloyed with Ta, this would (depending on the carbon content of the cemented carbide) be practically completely present as eta phase or TaC after sintering and thus not represent a highly heat-resistant binder alloy of a high-quality hardmetal, because eta phases are in carbide because of their Brittleness not desirable because they reduce the strength.
  • the solubility of tungsten in the binder alloy is limited by the solubility product of tungsten carbide in the binder alloy.
  • two cases are to be distinguished with respect to the tungsten content: a) when the carbon content decreases and cobalt is used as the binder metal, up to 20 wt% tungsten dissolves in the cobalt binder; b) if the carbon content decreases and a FeCoNi binder alloy is used, significantly less tungsten, only up to about 5% by weight, will dissolve in the FeCoNi binder alloy. Consequently, the solubility of tungsten in FeCoNi alloys is still lower than in pure cobalt, which is one of the reasons for the low hot hardness of FeCoNi bonded hard metals.
  • Manganese has a comparatively very high vapor pressure, therefore it comes to the sintering of manganese-containing hard metals concentration gradients and precipitation of self-igniting Mn-metal condensates.
  • concentration of Mn in sintered parts is therefore not precisely adjustable, and presumably nearer the surface than in the core of the workpiece.
  • rhenium, osmium and ruthenium are only limited available and extremely rare, but are in principle suitable.
  • rhenium is used in high temperature alloys for aircraft turbines to suppress high temperature creep of components.
  • Ruthenium and rhenium are already being used on a small scale in special cobalt-based carbide grades.
  • Chromium is also suitable and has high solubility in FeCoNi alloys, but has the disadvantage of making it difficult to interpret the magnetic saturation due to its anti-ferromagnetic character. This is disadvantageous because carbide grades for metal cutting are as close as possible to the limit for the formation of eta phases, but without having appreciable proportions thereof.
  • Mo is therefore the preferred element of choice to increase the hot hardness, especially of ferrous binder in sintered hard metals.
  • L. Prakash found that just a few percent molybdenum is sufficient to achieve a significant effect in the hot hardness of Fe-containing hard metals (Ph.D. Leo J. Prakash, University of Düsseldorf 1979, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, KfK 2984 ). However, it remains unclear what proportion of the Mo is actually in the binder, since Mo 2 C was used.
  • binder alloy When using Mo carbide only a maximum of about 50% are effective in the binder alloy; therefore, instead of Mo 2 C elemental Mo metal powder is used. Even with the use of very finely dispersed Mo metal powder, however, it comes after sintering to areas that consist exclusively of binder alloy phase, and contain no hard material. This behavior is due to the fact that agglomerates of the Mo metal powder are poorly comminuted due to the high modulus of elasticity of molybdenum in the mixed grinding, and that the resulting transformed agglomerates dissolve in the molten binding alloy during liquid-phase sintering, which in turn by the resolution of the molybdenum. Particles formed in the molten binder filled pores. It comes to the formation of the so-called "binder lakes”, which term refers to a specific range of the binder alloy, which is greater in terms of the dimension than the particle diameter of the hard material phase, but without containing tungsten carbide or hard particles.
  • iron, cobalt or nickel-containing binder metal powders are used for the production of sintered hard metal materials, which iron in an amount of 0.1 to 65 wt .-%, cobalt in an amount of 0.1 to 60 wt .-% and nickel in an amount of 20 to 60% by weight.
  • the percentages are by weight and generally refer to the binder alloy powder unless otherwise specified.
  • the binder alloy powder used contains at most 20% by weight of tungsten, based on the total binder alloy.
  • the binder alloy powder used contains 0.1 to 10 wt .-% of molybdenum, based on the total binder metal powder, in alloyed or prealloyed form.

Too high a molybdenum content results in excessive strengthening of the binder powder, so that the pressing forces in the production of the cemented carbide and the resulting sintering shrinkage become too high, too low content leads to an insufficient increase in the hot hardness.
  • Preferred hard materials are carbides, in particular tungsten carbide, WC.
  • Preferred binders are alloys of iron, cobalt and nickel, in particular the combinations iron and nickel, iron and cobalt, cobalt and nickel, and iron, cobalt and nickel. Likewise, cobalt alone can be used as a binder.
  • the binder metal powders alloyed with molybdenum are distinguished by good distribution behavior in the case of mixed grinding with carbides for the production of hard metal powders.
  • the FSSS values (measured with the "Fisher Sub Siever Sizer" according to the ASTM B330 standard) are therefore in the range of 0.5 to 3 ⁇ m, preferably in the range of 1.0 to 2 ⁇ m. Even finer powders are self-igniting; Coarser powders no longer have a sufficient distribution behavior and lead again to so-called "binder lakes”.

  • the Mo-containing binder powder may contain Fe, Ni and Co. Since the sinterability and the hot hardness decrease with increasing Fe content, the iron content is less than 65%, preferably less than 60%. The remainder to 100% is Mo and Co and / or Ni.

  • the molybdenum-containing alloy powders are preferably prepared by the following process ( DE 10 2006 057 004 A1 ): a MoO 2 , which was crushed to reduce the agglomerate size distribution, serves as a molybdenum source. This MoO 2 is added to an oxalic acid suspension as described EP 1 079 950 B1 is used for the preparation of FeNi or FeCoNi mixed oxalates, which are subsequently oxidatively annealed, and reduced with hydrogen to alloy powders. The resulting alloy powders are completely reduced after reduction with hydrogen, ie it is no longer detectable by X-ray diffraction MoO 2 .
  • agglomerate size may also be reduced in agglomerate size by deagglomeration in order to improve the distribution in the mixed grinding with the carbides.
  • the agglomerates consist of primary particles which are agglomerated together. Agglomerate size and distribution can be determined by laser diffraction and sedimentation.
  • MoO 2 it is also possible to use other fine-grain Mo compounds which do not dissolve in oxalic acid, for example sulfides or carbides. These are oxidized in the calcination of the precipitated oxalate in air to oxides. During the calcination, molybdenum oxides such as MoO 3 are formed , which very quickly form mixed oxides with the Fe (Co) Ni mixed oxide due to their high vapor pressure and thereby show good transport properties, so that in the subsequent reduction with hydrogen forms a FeCoNi alloy powder with a small part of Mo is homogeneously alloyed.
  • MoO 3 molybdenum oxides
  • Fe (Co) Ni mixed oxide due to their high vapor pressure and thereby show good transport properties, so that in the subsequent reduction with hydrogen forms a FeCoNi alloy powder with a small part of Mo is homogeneously alloyed.
  • MoO 2 is used, which should be as pure as possible phase, and should contain Mo or MoO 3 or Mo 4 O 11 only in traces.
  • MoO 2 is used because, in contrast to MoO 3, it is neither soluble in acids nor in alkali, and therefore remains completely in the alloy metal powder after the entire process.
  • MoO 3 would dissolve in the alkali used to precipitate the Fe (Co) Ni content or in complexing organic acids; elemental Mo would be too coarse and would not fully oxidize to MoO 3 in the subsequent calcination and thus would not alloy sufficiently upon reduction with hydrogen.
  • a fine MoO 2 having a high surface area completely oxidizes to MoO 3 (which has a high vapor pressure) upon calcination of the Fe (Co) Ni oxalate in air and forms molybdate and mixed oxides with these metal oxides through the gas phase, thereby providing a very uniform Distribution of the molybdenum is achieved, which is maintained in the subsequent reduction with hydrogen.

  • Mo alloyed FeCoNi-based powders may additionally be alloyed with up to 20% tungsten, for example, to postpone the onset of sintering shrinkage to higher temperatures or to provoke the formation of precipitates, which reinforce the binder phase, but only with very coarse tungsten carbides succeed.

  • This may particularly preferably be elongated (for example ground out of a sintered round rod), but particularly preferably also plate-shaped for the rotary or milling machining of materials such as metals, bricks and composite materials.
  • the cemented carbide tools may preferably have one or more coatings from the classes of nitrides, borides, oxides or superhard layers (eg, diamond, cubic boron nitride). These can be applied by PVD or CVD methods or their combinations or variations and still be changed after application in their residual stress state.
  • carbide parts may also be in a preferred manner but also carbide parts further and arbitrary geometry and application, such as forging tools, forming tools, countersinks, components, knives, peeling plates, rollers, stamping tools, pentagonal drill bits for soldering, mining chisel, milling tools for milling processing of concrete and asphalt , Mechanical seals and any other geometry and application.
  • forging tools forming tools, countersinks, components, knives, peeling plates, rollers, stamping tools, pentagonal drill bits for soldering, mining chisel, milling tools for milling processing of concrete and asphalt , Mechanical seals and any other geometry and application.
  • Example 2 (Comparative Example, WC-Co, not according to the invention)
  • Example 2 Analogously to Example 1, a WC-Co was prepared with the same volume fraction as in Example 1 to binder phase. Since Co has a higher density than the FeCoNi 40/20/40, was the proportion by weight of the cobalt at 8 wt .-%, based on the total hard metal. After pressing and sintering at 1420 ° C for 45 min in vacuo resulted in a perfect hard metal with a magnetic saturation of 133 G ⁇ cm 3 / g, corresponding to 82% of the theoretical magnetic saturation. The room temperature hardness (HV30 1597 kg / mm 2 ) and the hot hardness were determined and determined in Fig. 1 entered.
  • HV30 1597 kg / mm 2 The room temperature hardness (HV30 1597 kg / mm 2 ) and the hot hardness were determined and determined in Fig. 1 entered.
  • Co is superior to the FeCoNi binder from 350 to 800 ° C, above which the carbide skeleton determines the hot hardness.
  • the K 1 C value (fracture toughness, determined from the crack lengths at the corners of the hardness impressions, calculated according to the formula of Shetty) of the cemented carbide at room temperature was 10.1 MPa ⁇ m 1/2 .
  • the cobalt binder at room temperature in addition has a better hardness / K 1 C ratio than the binder of Example 1 ..
  • Example 1 was repeated, but in a first batch 1 wt .-%, in a second 3 wt .-% Mo metal powder was added. (These contents are based on the Mo content of the binder alloy phase).
  • the deagglomerated molybdenum metal powder had the following properties: FSSS value 1.09, O content: 0.36 wt%.
  • the grain distribution is determined by the following parameters: D 50 3.2 ⁇ m, D 90 6.4 ⁇ m.
  • the carbon content was chosen so that according to the experience of Example 1 in the sintered hard metal neither eta-phases nor carbon precipitations are to be expected.
  • no additional carbon was included so that the molybdenum is as completely as possible in metallic form in the binder alloy.
  • the carbon contents of the formulation were 5.94% and 5.94%, respectively (3% by weight Mo based on the binder).
  • the results after sintering at 1420 ° C are given in the following table.
  • the hot hardnesses were determined as before and are in FIG. 2 represented by circles: Mo addition in the binder 1% 3% Hardness (HV30) 1635 1652 Magnetic saturation (G ⁇ cm 3 / g) 137.5 136.2 Porosity (ISO 4505) ⁇ A02 ⁇ B02C04 ⁇ A02 ⁇ B02C00 Rupture toughness (MPa ⁇ m 1/2 ) 9.2 9.0 structure Many and sometimes large Binderseen Very many and sometimes large Binderseen
  • Example 1 was repeated using the methods described in DE 10 2006 057 004 A1 1.5 wt.% Mo alloyed FeCoNi binder alloy prepared. The powder was then deagglomerated. The analyzed properties of this powder were: Fe 38.23 wt%, Co 19.96 wt%, Ni 39.10 wt%, Mo 1.55 wt%, O 0.8565 wt%. %, FSSS value: 1.21, specific surface 2.17 m 2 / g, D 50 3.46 ⁇ m, D 90 5.84 ⁇ m. X-ray diffraction did not detect MoO 2 at its characteristic diffraction angles, even with long-term exposure.
  • Carbon content of the cemented carbide after sintering was as follows: sintering Open pot Closed pot Hardness (HV30) 1661 1626 Magnetic saturation (G ⁇ cm 3 / g) 128,8 134.2 Porosity (ISO 4505) A02 to A04, ⁇ B02, C00 A02, ⁇ B02, C00 Rupture toughness (MPa ⁇ m 1/2 ) 13.6 7.9 structure Small binder lakes Small binder lakes
  • the cemented carbide from the open sintering is located at the low carbon end of the two phase region because it is characterized by a very low magnetic saturation compared to Example 1.
  • eta phases were not detectable. Due to the maximum possible concentration of Mo in the binder, an enormous hardening of the binder alloy is achieved, which is expressed by a simultaneous increase in hardness and fracture toughness.
  • the cemented carbide from the closed sintering is also in the 2-phase region in terms of carbon content, but contains more carbon, which is indicated by the high magnetic saturation. Because of the higher carbon supply apparently more Mo is present as carbide and therefore is not present in the binder, the fracture toughness - which is largely determined by the binder - drops very much to the level of the "high carbon" variant of Example 1. This example confirms the theoretical considerations made in the description.
  • More pellets were prepared and sintered at 1420 ° C in a vacuum, but was carried out towards the end of the sintering at the end temperature, an application of argon at 40 bar pressure. It was cooled under pressure. There were hard metal pieces with a hardness of 1643 HV30 obtained, a crack resistance of 8.2 MPa ⁇ m 1/2 and a magnetic saturation of 123 G ⁇ cm 3 / g. At the hard metal pieces on another hardness testing machine both the room temperature and the hot hardness were determined as a function of the temperature. The evaluation of the determination of the room temperature and hot hardness shows the FIG.
  • Example 2 represented by squares, for comparison, the curves of Examples 2 and 3 is plotted: the decrease in the hot hardness at 600 ° C compared to a cobalt-bonded carbide is significantly reduced for the hard metals of Example 4 over those of Example 2.
  • the hot hardness is now above that of the carbide, made from the not with Mo alloyed binder alloy powders (Example 3). (Due to the other hardness testing machine, there is a discrepancy in the room temperature hardness).
  • the principle of improving the properties of hard metals by alloyed molybdenum in the binder is applicable not only to the binder described FeCoNi 40/20/40, but also to pure cobalt as well as pure Ni as a carbide binder on CoNi and FeNi alloys as well as others FeCoNi alloys.
