Definitions
- Solid compositions of from 49.5 to 94 volume percent titanium nitride, and 5 to 49.5 volume percent titanium carbide bonded with from 1 to 15 volume percent of metal composed of 20 to 50 volume percent nickel and 50 to 80 volume percent molybdenum, the composition having an average grain size of less than 2 microns and a density of at least 99 percent of theoretical are prepared by hot-pressing an intimate mixture of fine powdered titanium nitride, titanium carbide and metal at a temperature between 1650 and 1900" C. and a pressure between 1000 and 5000 pounds per square inch.
- the dense compositions are very strong and hard and possess a very desirable combination of oxidation resistance, wearresistance, scratch-resistance and corrosion resistance.
- titanium nitride and titanium carbide bonded with the above described nickel molybdenum mixtures when not pressed as described herein form dense fine-grained bodies of outstanding strength which are also quite hard and resistant to wear, scratching, oxidation and corrosion.
- this invention is directed to refractory compositions consisting essentially of from 49.5 to 94 volume percent titanium nitride, from 5 to 49.5 volume percent titanium carbide and from 1 to 15 volume percent of metal consisting essentially of 20 to 50 volume percent nickel and 50 to 80 volume percent molybdenum, said composition having a density in excess of 99 percent of theoretical and an average grain size of less than 2 microns, and to the method of preparing such solid solutions by heating homogeneous mixtures of titanium carbide and titanium nitride powders having a particle size of less than one micron and nickel and molybdenum powders having a particle size of less than microns to a temperature between l650 and 1900 C., preferably between l750 and 1850" C. and immediately pressing at a pressure between 1000 and 5000 pounds per square inch and then rapidly cooling the resultant compact.
- the resulting dense compositions are useful in making wear resistant and corrosion-resistant parts of exceptional strength and hardness and can be fabricated into attractive articles of jewelry.
- This invention is directed to refractory compositions consisting essentially of 49.5 to 94 volume percent titanium nitride, 5 to 49.5 volume percent titanium carbide and from 1 to volume percent metal consisting essentially of from to 50 volume percent nickel and from 50 to 80 volume percent molybdenum, said composition Patented June 20, 1972 ice
- the titanium nitride and titanium carbide suitable for use in preparing the solid solutions of this invention should have an average particle size of less than one micron and preferably less than 0.5 micron.
- Suitable titanium nitride can be obtained commercially as 325 mesh powder from Materials for Industry, Inc., Ambler, Pa. or Consolidated Astronautics Inc., Long Island City, NY. or can be prepared by conventional methods as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,409,416, in US. Pat. No. 3,409,419 or in the Nitrides Chapter VHI in the book High Temperature Technology by J. M. Blocher Jr., John Wiley & Sons, N.Y., 1956.
- Suitable titanium carbide can be obtained commercially as -325 mesh powder from Materials for Industry Inc., Ambler, Pa. or Cerac Inc., Butler, Wis., or can be prepared by conventional methods well known to the art.
- the titanium nitride or titanium carbide obtained has too large a particle size, it can be reduced by simply millin the titanium nitride until the desired comminution is achieved.
- the metal powders suitable for use in this invention should have an average particle size of less than 10 microns and preferably less than 2 microns.
- Suitable nickel powder can be obtained commercially as Mond standard grade fine nickel powder from International Nickel Co., or can be prepared by conventional methods well known to the art.
- Suitable molybdenum powder can be obtained commercially as standard grade molybdenum powder 325 mesh from Sylvania Electric Products Inc., or can be prepared by conventional methods well known to the art.
- the four components are preferably quite pure and it is particularly important that they be substantially free of impurities such as oxygen which have deleterious elfects on the solid solutions. Minor amounts of impurities normally picked up in milling or mixing the components have little or no deleterious effect on the refractory compositions. Thus small amounts of low melting metals such as cobalt or iron, or higher melting metals such as tungsten, which are ordinarily encountered in milling equipment or media, can be tolerated as can small amounts of refractory materials such as other carbides, nitrides or oxides which are encountered in the handling described above.
- the titanium nitride is ordinarily used in compositions of this invention in amounts of from 49.5 to 94 volume percent. It is preferably used in amounts ranging from 60 volume percent to volume percent as such amounts result in a refractory composition having a very desirable combination of properties and appearance. When amounts of titanium nitride range between 60 and 85 volume percent, it is preferred to use from 12 to 30 volume percent of titanium carbide and from 3 to 10 volume percent of metal.
- molybdenum penetrates the titanium carbide lattice and it is preferred that a large excess of metal over that which it is believed can be taken up in the titanium carbide lattice not be present. This is so because a large excess of metal reduces corrosion resistance, scratch resistance and hardness of the refractory compositions. It is therefore preferred that there be present in the compositions of this invention no more than 1 part by volume of metal per part by volume of titanium carbide.
- the mixture of component powders are prepared much in the manner described in US. Pat. No. 3,451,791.
- Suitable titanium nitride, titanium carbide, nickel and molybdenum, as described above, are homogeneously intermixed, such as by ball-milling, for up to 120 hours or more.
- the mixed powders are then hot-pressed at temperatures of from 1650 to 1900 C. and preferably between 1750 to 1850 C. and pressures of from 1000 to 5000 pounds per square inch followed by rapid cooling of the compact in the manner described in US. Pat. No. 3,451,791.
- Refractory compacts The hot-pressed refractory compacts are characterized by a porosity of less than one percent which translates into a density of at least 99 percent of theoretical, and an average grain size of less than 2 microns.
- the preferred compositions of this invention contain from 60 to 85 volume percent titanium nitride, from 12 to 30 volume percent titanium carbide, from 3 to volume percent metal, and have an average grain size of less than one micron.
- the chemical content as well as the physical properties of the compositions of this invention can be determined by methods well known in the art and described in detail in the US. Pats. Nos. 3,409,416; 3,409,419; 3,413,392, and 3,451,791 referred to above.
- the solid solutions of this invention demonstrate a hardness of from 92 to about 94 on the Rockwell A scale and a transverse rupture strength of from about 200,000 to almost 325,000 pounds per square inch.
- This combination of strength and hardness along with their low porosity, fine grain size and refractory nature make the compositions of this invention useful in applications requiring corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance, scratch resistance and wear resistance. They are particularly useful in cutting and turning metal.
- their distinctive color combined with their resistance to scratching and marring make them desirable for use in articles of jewelry such as watch cases.
- EXAMPLE 1 This is an example of a composition containing 65 volume percent of titanium nitride, 30 volume percent of titanium carbide, 2.5 volume percent of molybdenum metal, and 2.5 volume percent of nickel metal.
- the titanium nitride used is of grade 325 mesh available from Materials for Industry, Inc., and has a specific surface area of 1.1 square meters per gram as determined by nitrogen adsorption.
- An electron micrograph shows dense particles of irregular shapes with sizes between 1 and about 10 microns, the bulk being between 1 and 2 microns.
- the carbon content is 0.33 percent and the oxygen content is 0.87 percent.
- Chemical analysis reveals 76.19 percent of titanium and 18.71 percent of nitrogen.
- the titanium carbide powder used has a nominal average particle size of 0.6 micron as measured by the Fisher Sub-Sieve Sizer and a specific surface area of about 10 square meters per gram as determined by nitrogen absorption.
- This titanium carbide powder milled to 0.6 micron grade is commercially available from the Adamas Carbide Corp., Kennilworth, NJ.
- An electron micrograph of a dry mount preparation shows that the titanium carbide grains are between 0.2 and 3 microns in diameter and sometimes are clustered in the form of loose aggregates.
- the titanium content is about 77.8 percent, the total carbon content is about 18.8 percent, the free carbon is around 0.07 percent, and the oxygen analyses indicate the oxygen content may vary between about 0.8 to 1.6 percent.
- titanium is the major component and also shows 0.5 to 2 percent molybdenum, 0.5 to 2 percent tungsten, 0.5 to 2 percent nickel, 500 to 2500 p.p.m. of aluminum, 200 to 1000 p.p.m. of cobalt, 300 to 1500 p.p.m. of iron, 300 to 1500 p.p.m. of niobium, 200 to 1000 p.p.m. of chromium, 200 to 1000 p.p.m. of silicon, to 500 p.p.m. of zirconium, 50 to 250 p.p.m. of calcium, 50 to 250 p.p.m. of manganese and 5 to 25 p.p.m. of magnesium.
- the nickel used is a fine powder, available from International Nickel Co., containing 0.15 percent carbon, 0.07 percent oxygen, and less than 300 p.p.m. iron.
- the specific surface area of the nickel powder is 0.48 square meters per gram and its X-ray diffraction pattern shows only nickel, which from the line broadening has a crystallite size of millimicrons. Under electron microscope, the powder appears as aggregate grains 1 to 5 microns in diameter.
- the powders are milled by loading 6000 parts of preconditioned cylindrical cobalt-bonded tungsten carbide inserts, inch long and inch in diameter, into a 1.3 liter steel rolling mill about 6 inches in diameter, also charged with 290 parts of Soltrol 130 saturated paraffinic hydrocarbon, boiling range -210" C. The mill is then charged with 105.9 parts of titanium nitride, 44.50 parts of titanium carbide, 7.6 parts of molybdenum powder, and 6.6 parts of nickel powder, all of them as above described.
- the mill is then sealed and rotated at 90 revolutions per minute for 5 days.
- the mill is then opened and the contents emptied while keeping the milling inserts inside.
- the mill is then rinsed out with Soltrol 130 several times until all of the milled solids are removed.
- the milled powder is transferred to a vacuum evaporator, and the excess hydrocarbon is decanted off after the suspended material has settled.
- the wet residual cake is then dried under vacuum with the application of heat until the temperature within the evaporator is between 200 and 300 C., and the pressure is less than about 0.1 millimeter of mercury. Thereafter the powder is handled entirely in the absence of air.
- the dry powder is passed through a 70 mesh screen in a nitrogen atmosphere, and then stored under nitrogen in sealed plastic containers.
- a consolidated billet is prepared from the powder by hot pressing the powder in a cylindrical graphite mold having a cavity with a square cross-section 1 inches X 1 inches and fitted with opposing close-fitting pistons.
- One piston is held in place in one end of the mold cavity while 31 parts of the powder are charged to the cavity under nitrogen and evenly distributed by rotating the mold and tapping it lightly on the side.
- the upper piston is then put in place under hand pressure.
- the assembled mold and contents are then placed in a vacuum chamber of a vacuum hot press, the mold is held in a vertical position, and the pistons extending above and below are engaged between opposing graphite rams of the press under pressure of about 600 pounds per square inch. Within a period of a minute the mold is raised into the hot zone of the furnace at 1175 C.
- the furnace temperature is increased to 1800 C. in 10 minutes, and the temperature of the mold is held at 1800 C. for another 2 minutes to ensure uniform heating of the sample.
- a pressure of 4000 pounds per square inch is then applied through the pistons for four minutes.
- the mold and contents still being held between the opposing rams, is moved out of the furnace into a cool zone where the mold and contents are cooled to dull red heat in about minutes.
- the mold and contents are then removed from the vacuum furnace and the billet is removed from the mold and blasted with abrasive grit to remove any adhering carbon.
- Density of the finished piece as determined by accurate weighing and measurement of the dimensions is 5.48 grams per cubic centimeter, which corresponds to the theoretical density.
- the hot pressed composition is essentially nonporous when examined under 1000 magnification. This property is important since nonporous materials are more corrosion resistant than porous materials of the same chemical composition. Structurally the composition consists of an extremely fine network.
- the porosity based on optical micrographs is Al/A2 on the ASTM scale of porosity.
- Electron micrographs indicate a very fine grain structure, few grains exceeding 1 or 2 microns in size. Electron micrographs show an inter-granular or matrix phase. The micrograph gives the appearance that the metal phase has completely wet the titanium carbide-titanium nitride phase or phases.
- the specimen is very tough and does not break or chip when dropped freely to a hardwood floor from a height of 7 feet.
- the sample is polished by pressing its faces firmly against rotating diamond impregnated cloth discs.
- a Beuhler polishing machine is employed for this operation.
- a 400 grit diamond wheel is used at 1175 revolutions per minute in the first polishing step and a 1000 grit diamond at 550 revolutions per minute is used in a second, finishing step.
- the sample polished in this manner has an attractive ornamental appearance with a golden color.
- a second sample of the same size is fabricated as above indicated and cut so that 0.070 inch x 0.070 inch square bars for transverse rupture strength are separated from each side of a center piece. Portions of the sample are used for indentation hardness tests and for other product characterization.
- the average transverse rupture strength as measured by bending the 0.070 inch x 0.070 inch test bars on a W; inch span is about 300,000 pounds per square inch.
- the hardness is 93.0 on the Rockwell A scale.
- the X-ray diagram obtained shows a strong face centered cubic pattern with a lattice parameter of 4.2678. This pattern corresponds to a titanium nitride-titanium carbide solid solution.
