Abstract
Waste hard alloy after initial crushing is first wet-milled to crush and dried, and then high-temperature heat-treated in calciner to eliminate the excess impurity in powdered material, which is then, after component analysis, used as material to produce hard alloy product through conventional production process. The production process has 25-35% lower production cost compared with that using common material, and has lower impurity content, higher crushing rate and lower power consumption compared with traditional mechanical impurity removing crushing process.
Description
The invention belongs to a kind of with after the hard alloy scraps recycling, the method for Li Yonging again.This method is made new Wimet according to corresponding common process after the hard alloy scraps manipulation of regeneration can being become raw material powder again.
Along with high speed development of national economy, departments such as the energy, machinofacture, traffic, geology and mine, petroleum prospecting, construction and decoration are increasing to the demand of carbamide tool, the output rapid growth of artificially synthesizing diamond---metal tools.Meanwhile giving up, residual Wimet amount is also corresponding thereupon to increase considerably.As watch with these Wimet recovery and by after the manipulation of regeneration, utilizing again, no matter this is to development and national economy, still all will have crucial meaning with regard to abundant efficent use of resources.At present, the Wimet reclaiming treatment process that generally adopts mainly contains three kinds both at home and abroad, that is: zinc melts method, electrodissolution method and mechanical crushing method.Wherein: the molten method of zinc is to add zinc under 900 ℃ of temperature, makes cobalt and zinc in the hard alloy scraps form the zinc cobalt-base alloy; Dezincify to handle through vacuum distilling at a certain temperature, make it form spongy alloy block, then through broken, prepare burden, grind to form raw material powder; Technology is produced hart metal product routinely at last.But this method exists facility investment big, productive expense and energy consumption height, and be difficult to thoroughly remove dezincify, cause quality product (performance) instability; Because used molten powder zinc is harmful, therefore adopt this method also to have problem of environmental pollution in addition.And the electrodissolution rule is by adopting suitable leaching agent, under electric field action the cementing metal cobalt in the hard alloy scraps is dissolved in the leaching liquid, be processed into cobalt powder by chemical process again, then will be by the waste alloy material piece of molten debanding agent through cleaning.Obtain tungsten-carbide powder behind the crushing grinding, last, technology is made new hart metal product routinely again.Though it is better that this method has powder quality, characteristics such as foreign matter content is few exist technical process long, and a whole set of electrolyzer is complexity, and only limit to handle and contain the cobalt amount greater than 8% defectives such as W-Co kind hard alloy scraps.And traditional mechanical crushing method recovery processing technique is to adopt artificial and mechanical disintegration combines, putting into inwall embedding Wimet liner plate through the hard alloy scraps of manually smashing earlier, be equipped with in the crusher of large size sintered carbide ball, grind and (rolling) impact grinding powdered by rolling, and then after wet-milling became compound, technology was made hart metal product routinely at last.(see " rare metal and Wimet " total the 123rd phase of December nineteen ninety-five, P48～51) is be exactly these class methods of being narrated in the reclaiming and the utilization of residual Wimet " useless " literary composition.Though advantages such as this method has the flow process weak point, and facility investment is few exist and easily sneak into other impurity in the material, the oxygen level of compound is higher, the alloy quality product is had a strong impact on, and can not reach the production standard requirement, and be not resolved always; Crushing efficiency is extremely low in addition, generally need roll and grind about 500 hours, toward the fineness of the inaccessible requirement of contact.Therefore, this regeneration treating method application of failing to put it over.
The objective of the invention is to design a kind of impurity that both can effectively remove in the powder, guarantee quality product, can increase substantially the processing method of productivity again at the existing defective of above-mentioned Wimet mechanical disintegration regeneration treating method; Realizing hard alloy scraps manipulation of regeneration simple flow, quality product height, purpose such as efficient height and manipulation of regeneration cost are low.
Solution of the present invention is after hard alloy scraps is broken into powder, increase by a thermal treatment process, by the physics under the high temperature---chemical reaction is removed the impurity that contained excessive oxygen, silicon, iron etc. in the powder influence the Wimet quality, makes it to meet the CEMENTED CARBIDE PRODUCTION standard-required; After fragmentation just, directly send into simultaneously and strengthen wet-milling in the crusher that is added with grinding medium and be crushed to and reach the requirement granularity, to improve crushing efficiency, effectively shorten the production cycle, thereby realize the object of the invention.Therefore, processing method of the present invention comprises: a, just broken with carrying out after the hard alloy scraps classification cleaning of reclaiming;
B, will in sending into the crusher roll of belt grinding medium and Wimet spheroid, the piece material after just broken strengthen the wet-milling fragmentation, to 150 μ m granularities (promptly crossing 100 mesh sieves), and the discharging drying;
C, dried powder is sent in the calcining furnace, under protective atmosphere, heat-treated, to remove the impurity in the powder; Thermal treatment temp generally with 900 ℃-1200 ℃ for well, the treatment time was advisable with 80～100 minutes, after the processing; Its Chemical Composition of sampling analysis is also stand-by as raw material powder;
D, get the above-mentioned raw materials powder routinely hard alloy production process batching---wet-milling becomes compound, and---drying---is mixed forming agent---and is suppressed, sinters into desired hart metal product.
Piece material after above-mentioned what is called will just be broken is sent into and is strengthened the wet-milling fragmentation in the crusher, be meant that this fragmentation is to adopt 75～85% of quick passage critical speed, and can return the multiple Wimet spheroid is delivered near the mode of high strength hammering that falls behind the cylinder top and grinding and carry out.And describedly under protective atmosphere, heat-treat, be meant its thermal treatment under reducing gas or the gas shield of inertia class, carrying out continuously or in the discontinuous calcining furnace of external-heat.
The present invention is because after being crushed to the granularity of requirement with hard alloy scraps; having increased by one heat-treats under protective atmosphere effectively to remove impurity such as contained excessive oxygen, silicon, iron in the powder; improved the purity of raw material powder greatly; make it to reach the production standard requirement that very causes above Wimet; and then guaranteed that with the Wimet of this powder as raw material powder production, its quality product quite very causes the Wimet that is better than adopting conventional raw material powder production under phase Sigong skill condition.Under the condition that adds grinding medium, strengthen the wet-milling fragmentation and adopt, improved the crushing efficiency of hard alloy scraps again greatly.Adopt and strengthen crush method, reach standard particle size and require man-hours requirement, roll less than routine and grind 1/10th of crush method, tied up weak point man-hour greatly, also just greatly reduced by the probability of secondary pollution and energy consumption.Adopt the present invention, its products production cost only is 25～35% of a conventional raw material production.Therefore, it is short that the present invention has technical process, and manipulation of regeneration equipment is simple, reduced investment, and production cost is low, efficient height, good product quality, characteristics such as energy consumption is low.
