The present invention relates to the manufacture of tungsten carbide parts by sintering, in particular the manufacture of parts having mechanical properties of particular hardness and toughness.
ETAT DE LA TECHNIQUE STATE OF THE ART
[002] On connaît de l’état de la technique un procédé de fabrication au cours duquel le matériau cobalt est ajouté à du carbure de tungstène afin d’augmenter la ténacité d’un matériau.

[002] Known from the state of the art is a manufacturing process during which the cobalt material is added to tungsten carbide in order to increase the toughness of a material. Document CN108624772 discloses the mixture of tungsten carbide with in particular cobalt and vanadium carbide. The disadvantage of blends is that it is relatively expensive.
[003] Il est ainsi désireux de proposer un matériau présentant une dureté et une ténacité équivalentes ou supérieures à celles de l’état de la technique. [003] It is thus desired to propose a material having a hardness and a tenacity equivalent to or greater than those of the state of the art.

[0016] In addition, by toughness is meant the ability of a material to resist the propagation of a crack. Hardness means the resistance of a material to being marked by another.
[0017] Chaque type de grains présente une taille de grains prédéterminée, une taille de cristallite prédéterminée et un facteur de forme prédéterminé. [0017] Each type of grain has a predetermined grain size, a predetermined crystallite size and a predetermined form factor.
[0018] De préférence, la taille de grain est mesurable par un microscope optique ou électronique ou par un granulomètre. Dans le cas du granulomètre, il est possible d’utiliser un granulomètre du type laser ou optique, en voie sèche ou liquide. [0018] Preferably, the grain size can be measured by an optical or electron microscope or by a particle sizer. In the case of the particle sizer, it is possible to use a particle sizer of the laser or optical type, in the dry or liquid way.
[0019] De préférence, la ténacité est mesurable à partir d'essais de flexion 3 points sur des éprouvettes pré-fissurées, et/ou par mesure les longueurs de fissuration induite par la pénétration de d’un indenteur servant à mesurer la dureté. [0019] Preferably, the toughness is measurable from 3-point bending tests on pre-cracked specimens, and/or by measuring the lengths of cracking induced by the penetration of an indenter used to measure the hardness.
[0020] La microstructure de grains prédéterminée peut présenter les caractéristiques suivantes : [0020] The predetermined grain microstructure may have the following characteristics:
- Distribution granulométrique : d50 étant compris entre 0.1 et 100 m m , - Particle size distribution: d50 being between 0.1 and 100 m m ,
- Taille de cristallite : 20 à 1000 nm, - Crystallite size: 20 to 1000 nm,
- Facteur de forme : entre 1 et 5 (sphérique à anguleux, sans être cylindrique). - Form factor: between 1 and 5 (spherical to angular, without being cylindrical).
[0021] Selon un mode de réalisation, un type de grains présente les caractéristiques suivantes : d50 égale ou sensiblement égale à 1 micromètre et une taille de cristallites égale à 130 nm plus ou moins 30 nm. Cette combinaison de valeurs permet d’obtenir un rapport haute ténacité/haute dureté, par exemple environ 2700HV. According to one embodiment, a type of grain has the following characteristics: d50 equal or substantially equal to 1 micrometer and a crystallite size equal to 130 nm plus or minus 30 nm. This combination of values makes it possible to obtain a high tenacity/high hardness ratio, for example approximately 2700HV.
[0022] Selon un autre mode de réalisation, un type de grains présente les caractéristiques suivantes : d50 égale ou sensiblement égale à 80 micromètres et une taille de cristallites égale à 30 nm plus ou moins 15 nm. Cette combinaison de valeurs permet d’obtenir un rapport moyenne ténacité/moyenne dureté, par exemple environ 1800HV. [0023] Un mode de réalisation consiste à utiliser une distribution granulométrique monomodale avant broyage comprise entre 0.1 et 100 micromètres (y/m). According to another embodiment, a type of grain has the following characteristics: d50 equal or substantially equal to 80 micrometers and a crystallite size equal to 30 nm plus or minus 15 nm. This combination of values makes it possible to obtain an average toughness/average hardness ratio, for example approximately 1800 HV. [0023] One embodiment consists in using a monomodal particle size distribution before grinding of between 0.1 and 100 micrometers (y/m).
[0024] Selon un autre mode de réalisation, les poudres présentent une distribution bimodale avant broyage avec des valeurs d50 séparées d’une décade, typiquement O.ΐ iti et 1 m m ou 1 m m et 1 ()m m ou encore 1 ()m m et 1 ()()// m . Il se peut que cette distribution bimodale soit séparée de 2 décades, typiquement 0.1 et IO iti ou 1 et 1 ()()// m . According to another embodiment, the powders have a bimodal distribution before grinding with d50 values separated by a decade, typically O.ΐ iti and 1 m m or 1 mm m and 1 () m m or even 1 () m m and 1 ()()// m . This bimodal distribution may be separated by 2 decades, typically 0.1 and IO iti or 1 and 1 ()()// m .
[0025] Selon encore un autre mode de réalisation, la distribution est trimodale avec des d50 séparées d’une décade, typiquement O.ΐ iti, 1 m m et IO iti. Ces exemples sont évidemment non limitatifs. According to yet another embodiment, the distribution is trimodal with d50 separated by a decade, typically O.ΐ iti, 1 m m and IO iti. These examples are obviously non-limiting.
[0026] Dans un mode de réalisation, la poudre est utilisée telle quelle, brute de fournisseur. Par exemple, cette poudre peut présenter une valeur d50, en particulier un diamètre, de grain inférieur(e) à 100 micromètres, de préférence inférieur(e) à 50 micromètres, de préférence inférieur(e) à 15 micromètres. [0026] In one embodiment, the powder is used as it is, raw from the supplier. For example, this powder may have a d50 value, in particular a grain diameter, of less than 100 micrometers, preferably less than 50 micrometers, preferably less than 15 micrometers.
[0027] Dans un mode préférentiel, la poudre est broyée afin d’affiner la taille des cristallites (domaines cristallographiques cohérents) qui est différente de la distribution granulométrique. Ainsi, après broyage, on constate une réduction de la taille des cristallites, mais pas nécessairement une réduction de la taille des grains. In a preferred mode, the powder is ground in order to refine the size of the crystallites (coherent crystallographic domains) which is different from the particle size distribution. Thus, after grinding, a reduction in the size of the crystallites is observed, but not necessarily a reduction in the size of the grains.
[0028] Préférentiellement, la taille des cristallites est comprise entre 20 et 1000 nanomètres (nm). Préférentiellement, la taille des cristallites est comprise entre 20 et 100 nm. Préférentiellement enfin, la taille des cristallites est comprise entre 20 et 50 nm. Dans un mode de réalisation, il est envisageable d’associer plusieurs tailles de cristallites. Preferably, the size of the crystallites is between 20 and 1000 nanometers (nm). Preferably, the size of the crystallites is between 20 and 100 nm. Finally, preferably, the size of the crystallites is between 20 and 50 nm. In one embodiment, it is possible to associate several sizes of crystallites.
[0029] De préférence, le matériau comprend au moins deux types de grains de carbure de tungstène. Chacun des au moins deux types de grains présente des caractéristiques cités au- dessus ; les au moins deux types de grains étant différents les uns par rapport aux autres. [0029] Preferably, the material comprises at least two types of tungsten carbide grains. Each of the at least two types of grains has the characteristics mentioned above; the at least two types of grains being different from each other.
[0030] De préférence, le matériau est dépourvu de cobalt, de carbure de niobium, de carbure de vanadium, de carbure de titane, ou agent similaire. [0030] Preferably, the material is free of cobalt, niobium carbide, vanadium carbide, titanium carbide, or the like.
[0031] Selon un deuxième aspect, l’invention propose une pièce comprenant un matériau, ou constituée d’un matériau, selon l’une ou plusieurs des caractéristques du premier aspect. On entend par pièce, une pièce mécanique par exemple des outils de coupe pour l’usinage. [0032] Selon un troisième aspect, l’invention propose un procédé de fabrication d’un matériau ou d’une pièce à base de carbure de tungstène pur comprenant les étapes suivantes :According to a second aspect, the invention proposes a part comprising a material, or consisting of a material, according to one or more of the characteristics of the first aspect.

[0034] De préférence, la poudre comprend au moins deux types de grains de carbure de tungstène, chaque type présentant une taille de grains prédéterminée, une taille de cristallite préderterminée et un facteur de forme prédéterminé. [0034] Preferably, the powder comprises at least two types of tungsten carbide grains, each type having a predetermined grain size, a predetermined crystallite size and a predetermined form factor.
[0035] Selon un mode de réalisation, chaque type de grains est broyé séparemment. De préférence, chaque type de grains de carbure de tungstène est broyé séparemment avant de les mélanger. According to one embodiment, each type of grain is ground separately. Preferably, each type of tungsten carbide grain is ground separately before mixing them.
[0036] Un mode de réalisation consiste à broyer la poudre de base quelle soit mono ou multimodale. Dans ce mode de réalisation, la distribution granulométrique finale est affinée et recentrée voire, dans le cas des distribution multimodale, la suppression de ce caractère multiple. L’écart entre dlO et d90 se réduit autour du d50. La distribution granulométrique est plus fine autour de la valeur de d50 cible. [0036] One embodiment consists in grinding the base powder, which is mono or multimodal. In this embodiment, the final particle size distribution is refined and recentered or even, in the case of multimodal distribution, the elimination of this multiple character. The difference between dlO and d90 is reduced around d50. The particle size distribution is finer around the target d50 value.
[0037] Dans un autre mode de réalisation, au moins deux poudres de caractéristiques différentes sont broyées séparément afin de générer des distributions granulométriques et de tailles de cristallites différentes puis sont mélangées afin de concevoir une poudre spécifique permettant d’obtenir des propriétés finales améliorées. In another embodiment, at least two powders of different characteristics are ground separately in order to generate particle size distributions and of different crystallite sizes and then are mixed in order to design a specific powder making it possible to obtain improved final properties.
[0038] Le broyage permet d’obtenir une poudre qui aura des propriétés « finales » en terme de géométrie, facteur de forme, taille de cristallites. Le broyage permet également dans certains cas de former des sites actifs en surface de poudre qui favorisent et améliorent le comportement au frittage. [0039] Selon un mode de réalisation, le procédé comprend en outre une étape de sélection d’au moins un mode d’atomisation de la poudre, ou d’au moins un mode de sphéroïdisation de la poudre. [0038] Grinding makes it possible to obtain a powder which will have “final” properties in terms of geometry, form factor, size of crystallites. Grinding also makes it possible, in certain cases, to form active sites on the surface of the powder which promote and improve the sintering behavior. According to one embodiment, the method further comprises a step of selecting at least one powder atomization mode, or at least one powder spheroidization mode.
[0040] De préférence, le procédé de fabrication prévoit de prendre en compte seulement la taille de grain et/ou la taille de cristallites. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, le procédé de fabrication ne prend pas en compte la problématique de stœchiométrie du carbure de tungstène, sa contamination en éventuel(s) oxyde(s) ou encore sa surface spécifique. [0040] Preferably, the manufacturing method provides for taking into account only the grain size and/or the crystallite size.

En particulier, l’association de la température, de la contrainte et de la durée du pallier permettent d’accéder à un taux de densification souhaité.
