Description

WC-Co-cBN composite hard alloy and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of superhard cutting tools, and particularly relates to WC-Co-cBN composite hard alloy and a preparation method thereof.
background
cBN is a material with second order hardness and thermal conductivity to diamond, has hardness and thermal conductivity far higher than WC, has high wear resistance, and is a popular research material in the fields of finishing cutters, dry cutting cutters, grinding wheel product preparation and the like.
At present, cBN doped WC-Co hard alloy has been reported, wherein the cBN addition amount in a hard alloy system is higher (volume ratio is more than 20 vol%), meanwhile, more coarse-grained cBN powder (more than 3 mu m) is adopted, and the content of binder phase Co is lower (<10 wt%). The thicker cBN is not easy to generate phase transformation in the process of hard alloy densification sintering, the finer the granularity of the cBN, the more active the surface, the more prone the phase transformation to occur in the sintering process, and the higher Co content can promote the transformation of the cBN to the graphite hBN along with the occurrence of the dissolution-precipitation process in the liquid phase sintering process, so that the problems are unfavorable for the performance of the reinforced hard alloy.
furthermore, cBN, as a hardening agent, is poor in wettability with WC/Co. First, in liquid phase sintering, cBN (coefficient of thermal expansion of 2.0X 10)-6/℃,Melting point 3500K) and WC-Co (thermal expansion coefficient 4.5X 10)-6/℃~7.1×10-6/° c, the melting point of the Co phase is about 1600K), and direct addition is easy to generate a plurality of pores in the sintered body, has poor metallurgical effect on the interface, and deteriorates the performance of the composite material; secondly, boron in the cBN has certain affinity with cobalt, and the boron and the cobalt react to generate boride of the cobalt; thirdly, when sintered at the conventional WC-Co liquid phase sintering temperature (about 1400 ℃), the superhard cubic boron nitride is transformed into low-hardness hexagonal phase boron nitride particles during the dissolution-precipitation process of Co, and the transformation process is accelerated by the presence of liquid phase cobalt.
At present, relevant literature studies show that: through cBN coating modification, solid-phase sintering and other improvement measures, the metallurgical bonding force between cBN and WC/Co can be improved, the thermal stability and the crystal structure state of the cBN are kept, and therefore the comprehensive performance of the cBN composite hard alloy is improved. But the problems of low density of WC-Co-cBN hard alloy, cBN particle shedding, poor cBN thermal stability and the like still exist.
The WC-Co-cBN hard alloy provided by the invention integrates the methods and ways of cBN modification, solid-phase sintering, grain refinement, wetting agent addition and the like, not only can keep the characteristics of high strength, high hardness and high wear resistance of the WC-Co hard alloy, but also improves the defect of low dry cutting thermal stability, reduces the processing cost, is an important development direction for currently developing novel cutting tool materials, and has great commercial value.
