Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cemented carbide insert for mining or cutting applications containing gamma phase carbide and a method of making said mining insert.
  • Cemented carbide has a unique combination of high elastic modulus, high hardness, high compressive strength, high wear and abrasion resistance with a good level of toughness. Therefore, cemented carbide is commonly used in products such as mining tools. Cemented carbide comprises a hard metal phase and a binder phase. Typically, the cemented carbide used for mining inserts using tungsten carbide hard metal phase, with only very minor quantities of other carbides that are present as impurities rather than purposely added.
  • gamma phase hard metals which includes cubic carbides and nitrides and carbonitrides of titanium, tantalum and niobium carbide that together with hexagonal tungsten carbide form a mixed cubic carbide (Mel, Me2, Me3)(C) or mixed cubic carbonitride (Mel, Me2, Me3)(C,N), so called gamma phases, are commonly used in cemented carbides used in the metal cutting industry as they provide the benefit of improved wear resistance and improved resistance towards plastic deformation.
  • gamma phase hard metals are not currently used in cemented carbide for mining inserts as it embrittles the carbide, which when subjected to mining operations, such as a percussive drilling action, will result in the inserts prematurely cracking, therefore reducing the lifetime of the inserts.
  • cemented carbide is herein meant a material that comprises at least 50 wt% WC, possibly other hard constituents common in the art of making cemented carbides and a metallic binder phase preferably selected from one or more of Fe, Co and Ni.
  • body is herein meant the cemented carbide of the innermost part (centre) of the rock drill insert and for this disclosure is the zone having the lowest hardness.
  • green refers to a cemented carbide mining insert produced by milling the hard phase component(s) and the binder together and then pressing the milled powder to form a compact cemented carbide mining insert, which has not yet been sintered.
  • cubic carbides refers to the cubic carbides such as TaC, NbC, TiC that together with hexagonal WC will form a cubic "gamma phase” during sintering.
  • cubic nitrides refers to cubic nitride such as TiN that together with hexagonal WC will form a cubic "gamma phase" during sintering.
  • cubic carbonitrides refers to the cubic carbonitride such as Ti(C,N) that together with hexagonal WC will form a cubic "gamma phase" during sintering.
  • gamma phase refers to the mixed cubic carbides and carbonitrides formed and precipitated during sintering when cubic carbide and/or nitride formers/precursors are added prior to the green forming step in higher amounts than can be dissolved in the binder in the sintered cemented carbide body.
  • Typical cubic gamma phase formers/precursors are for example Ta, Nb and Ti that together with W from the hexagonal WC form the cubic gamma phase for example, but not limited to, (Ta,Nb,W)(C), (Ta, Nb, Ti, W)(C,N).
  • substantially all added cubic carbides/nitrides/carbonitrides form "gamma phase" and the amount of these cubic gamma phase precursors in the sintered body is either calculated from the sum of the added cubic carbide/nitrides/carbonitrides or can be calculated backwards by analysing the element concentration of Mel, Me2 including nitrogen in the sintered body and assume that all Mel was added as MelC, where Mel is a metal that form cubic carbides as Ta or Nb. If nitrogen is present some of the Me2 was added as Me2N or Me2(C,N) and Me2C, where Me2 is a metal that forms both cubic carbides, nitrides and mixtures thereof as Ti.
  • the elemental analyses are preferably performed using an XRF-instrument equipped with a wavelength dispersive spectrometer on an oxidised and dissolved sintered material that for example is included into a light element (as boron) glass.
  • the analysis and evaluation are performed using quantitative XRF-methods that are carefully calibrated within the range of the claims.
  • a cemented carbide mining insert having improved wear resistance without increased brittleness has now been developed.
  • Different aspects of the invention include a cemented carbide mining insert, a rock drill bit body comprising one or more mounted cemented carbide inserts, and a method of producing a cemented carbide insert, which are characterized by what is stated in the independent claims.
  • Various embodiments of the invention are disclosed in the dependent claims.
  • a sintered cemented carbide insert for mining or cutting applications comprising: a mean WC grain size of between 0.8 - 18 pm; a binder phase in a weight between 4 - 18 wt%; gamma phase with the cubic gamma phase precursors in a weight of between 0.8 - 10 wt%; any unavoidable impurities and a balance of WC; and wherein the difference between the hardness at 0.3 mm at any point from the surface of the insert and the hardness of the bulk is at least 25 HV3, wherein hardness is measured according to ISO EN6507 3:2005.
  • a cemented carbide mining insert having improved wear resistance without increased brittleness is provided. Therefore, the lifetime of the insert is increased. Further, it makes it easier to be able to use recycled carbide, that typically has higher gamma phase content that would be acceptable for cemented carbide grades that are commonly used for used mining or cutting applications.
  • a cemented carbide insert should be considered to include any insert used for interaction with rock, for example inserts for percussive drilling, top hammer drilling, down-the-hole (DTH) drilling, protection inserts or cutting tools.
  • a method of producing a cemented carbide insert comprising the steps of: a) providing a green cemented carbide insert comprising between 0.8 - 10 wt% cubic carbides and or carbonitrides and or nitrides, between 4- 18 wt% binder, any unavoidable impurities and a balance of WC hard phase; b) sintering the green carbide mining insert to form a sintered cemented carbide insert; c) subjecting the sintered cemented carbide insert to a high energy post-treatment.
  • this method produces cemented carbide inserts having improved wear resistance without increased brittleness and therefore the inserts produced by this method have an increased lifetime.

  • the average hardness at a certain depth is defined as the average of at least 10 measured, more preferable 20 hardness values at the certain depth evenly distributed around the insert. The large difference in hardness between the surface of the rock drill insert and its interior is present over the whole surface and will therefore also reduce the risk of other types of failures during handling.

  • the presence of the chromium improves the plastic deformation of the cemented carbide, this enables higher compressive stresses to be introduced into the carbide when it is treated with a surface high energy post-treatment, such as tumbling or intensive shaking. This increase in compressive stress provides an apparent hardness increase which improves the wear resistance of the cemented carbide, without reducing the toughness.
  • the mass ratio of the Cr/binder is calculated by dividing the weight percentage (wt%) of the Cr added to powder blend by the wt% of the binder in the powder blend, wherein the weight percentages are based on the weight of that component compared to the total weight of the powder blend.
  • the Cr is dissolved into the binder phase, however there could be some amount, e.g. up to 3 mass%, of undissolved chromium carbide in the cemented carbide body. It may however be preferable to only add Cr up to the mass ratio of Cr/binder so that all the Cr dissolved into the binder so that the sintered cemented carbide body is free of undissolved chromium carbides.
  • the Cr is normally added to the powder blend in the form of Cr C as this provides the highest proportion of Cr per gram of powder, although it should be understood that the Cr could be added to the powder blend using an alternative chromium carbide such as Cr C or CryC or a chromium nitride or even a oxide.
  • the addition of the Cr also has the effect of improving the corrosion resistance of the cemented carbide body.
  • the presence of the Cr also makes the binder prone to transform from fee to hep during drilling, this is beneficial for absorbing some of the energy generated in the drilling operation. The transformation will thereby harden the binder phase and reduce the wear of the button during use thereof.
  • the presence of the Cr will increase the wear resistance of the cemented carbide and increase its ability for deformation hardening.
  • the combination of the Cr in the cemented carbide powder and the application of the powder comprising a grain refiner compound and optionally a carbon-based grain growth promoter, to at least one portion of the surface of the compact produces a cemented carbide body having a chemical and hardness gradient which produce a cemented carbide mining insert with high wear resistance.

  • Another aspect of the present invention is a method of producing a cemented carbide insert according to any of claims 1-7, comprising the steps of: a) providing a green cemented carbide insert comprising between 0.8-10 wt% cubic carbides and or carbonitrides and or nitrides, between 4-18 wt% binder, any unavoidable impurities and a balance of WC hard phase; b) sintering the green carbide mining insert to form a sintered cemented carbide insert; c) subjecting the sintered cemented carbide insert to a high energy post-treatment.
  • High energy post-treatment is considered to be a process wherein a post -treatment a homogenous cemented carbide mining insert has been deformation hardened such that AHV3% > 9.72 - 0.00543*HV3 b ui k , wherein the AHV3% is the percentage difference between the HV3 measurement at 0.3 mm from the surface compared the HV3 measurement in the bulk.
  • HET could also be understood to mean a post- treatment process that induces a hardness difference between 0.3 mm from the surface and the bulk of at least 20 HV3.
  • HET could also be understood to mean that there is both a hardness and toughness increase induced from the surface to the bulk without changing the chemical composition or the WC grain size near the surface (0.3 mm below) or in the bulk.
  • HET high energy shaking or tumbling process
  • the most appropriate way to define HET is in terms of "any process set up that introduces a specific degree of deformation hardening in a homogenous cemented carbide mining insert consisting of WC-Co, having a mass of about 20g".
  • HET is defined as a post-treatment process that would introduce a hardness change, measured using HV3, after post-treatment (AHV3%) of at least:
  • HV3 b ui k is an average of at least 10 indentation points measured in the innermost (centre) of the cemented carbide mining insert and HV3 0.3 mm is an average of at least 10 indentation points at 0.3mm below the tumbled surface of the cemented carbide mining insert. This is based on the measurements being made on a cemented carbide mining insert having homogenous properties. By “homogeneous properties” we mean that post sintering the hardness different is no more than 1% from the surface zone to the bulk zone. The HET-parameters used to achieve the deformation hardening described in equations (1) and (2) on a homogenous cemented carbide mining insert would be applied to cemented carbide bodies having a gradient property.
  • HET may typically be performed using centrifugal tumbling in an ERBA 120, having a disc size of about 600 mm, run at about 200 RPM if the tumbling operation is either performed without media or with media that is larger in size than the inserts being tumbled, or at about 300 RPM if the media used is smaller in size than the inserts being tumbled; using a Rosier tumbler, having a disc size of about 350 mm, at about 280 RPM if the tumbling operation is either performed without media or with media that is larger in size than the inserts being tumbled, or at about 320 RPM if the media used is smaller in size than the inserts being tumbled.

  • the inserts and the cooling liquid are heated up to about 70-90 degrees C.
  • the high energy post treatment is conducted at an elevated temperature of or above 100°C, preferably at a temperature of or above 200°C, more preferably at a temperature of between 200°C and 450°C.
  • the advantage the elevated process temperature is that an increased toughness of the carbide and hence the collisions do not result in defects such as micro cracks, large cracks or edge chipping.
  • the higher level of compressive stress in combination with decreased collision defects will improve the fatigue resistance and fracture toughness of the mining insert and consequently increase the lifetime of the insert.
  • Further advantages of this method are that insert geometries, such as those with a sharp bottom radius, which were previously prone to excessive damage to the corners and therefore low yields, can now be tumbled without causing edge damage.
  • the method also makes it possible to use cemented carbide compositions that would have previously been too brittle for mining applications.
  • the ability to introduce higher levels of compressive stress means that the toughness of the mining inserts is increased to an acceptable level and thus mining inserts having a higher hardness can be used which is beneficial for increasing the wear resistance of the mining inserts.

  • an infrared temperature measurement device is used.
  • dry conditions it is meant that no liquid is added to the process. Without being bound by this theory, it is thought that, if liquid is introduced to the process, it will keep the parts at room temperature. Further, the inclusion of the liquid will reduce the degree of the impact between the parts being HET-treated. Liquid prevents the internal friction and collision heat to increase the temperature in the collision points. If no liquid is used, then the temperature at the collision points gets high resulting in a higher toughness of the material subjected to the collision points.
  • the tumbler could be pressurized to a pressure that prevents water from boiling so that it would be possible to conduct the high temperature HET-treated in wet conditions.
