Description

Low-temperature sintered high-toughness wear-resistant WC ceramic and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a ceramic material and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The tungsten carbide ceramic is a material with stable physical and chemical properties, high temperature resistance, wear resistance and extremely high hardness, and has wide application in cutting tools, mining, machinery and precise key parts under high temperature and high load. Although the tungsten carbide ceramic has excellent performance, the tungsten carbide ceramic has the problems of overhigh sintering temperature and poor toughness, so that the traditional WC material is sintered by adopting Co as a binder, and the hardness and strength of the WC material are severely reduced due to softening of a binder phase Co at high temperature although the sintering temperature is effectively reduced and the toughness is improved, so that the application of the traditional WC-Co material is greatly limited.
At present, the non-binding phase WC ceramic is developed at home and abroad to replace WC-Co material, although the WC ceramic can meet the requirements of special environments such as application fields of high temperature and high pressure, the pure WC material is high in sintering temperature and is difficult to sinter compactly, and based on the pure WC material, the compact sintering of the WC ceramic is realized through hot-press sintering and hot isostatic pressing processes by the preparation method of the tungsten carbide ceramic material (publication No. CN 107522490A), but the sintering temperature is as high as 1900-2000 ℃ and the toughness is lower. In order to improve the mechanical properties of the composite ceramic material and balance the properties of the composite ceramic material in all aspects, the patent of a high-performance tungsten carbide ceramic material (publication No. CN 106631024A) and a preparation method thereof (publication No. CN 105801120A) discloses that the mechanical properties of the composite ceramic material are improved by adding a second relative component into a WC system, but the toughness improvement is not obvious, and the problem of friction and abrasion in the application process is not considered. In order to further improve toughness and wear resistance, the patent 'self-generated silicon nitride whisker toughened tungsten carbide composite material and a preparation method thereof' (publication No. CN 102701773A) discloses that the mechanical properties of the self-generated silicon nitride whisker toughened tungsten carbide composite material are improved in an in-situ whisker generation mode, and although the toughness is obviously improved, the hardness is obviously reduced, and the requirements of practical application are hardly met. The binding-phase-free WC-based hard alloy cutter material and the preparation method thereof (publication No. CN 111056852A) have the advantages that the multielement components comprise oxides, carbides, carbon nanotubes, graphene and the like, the toughness and the wear resistance are enhanced, but the preparation process is complex, the cost is high, and the effective popularization and application are difficult. Therefore, the WC ceramic which is low in cost, compact in sintering at a lower temperature and excellent in mechanical property and wear resistance is particularly necessary.
