摘要
采用传统粉末冶金法制备Cr_3C_2添加量(质量分数)为0~4%的WC-10Co硬质合金,通过光学显微镜、扫描电镜与能谱仪对合金微观组织进行观察与分析,测试硬质合金的矫顽磁力、钴磁、密度、横向断裂强度、维氏硬度和断裂韧性,研究Cr_3C_2添加量对WC-10Co硬质合金常规性能的影响,并着重探讨Cr_3C_2对WC晶粒尺寸与均匀性的影响。结果表明:添加Cr_3C_2能有效细化WC-Co硬质合金晶粒,随Cr_3C_2添加量增加,WC晶粒均匀性增加。随Cr_3C_2添加量增加,合金的钴磁呈线性下降,合金密度和断裂韧性降低,维氏硬度和矫顽磁力升高,合金横向断裂强度先升高后降低。Cr_3C_2添加量为0.5%合金钴磁为9.0%,矫顽磁力为19.0 kA/m,密度为14.45 g/cm3,维氏硬度HV30为1 600,抗弯强度和断裂韧性分别为3 920 MPa和10.5MPa?m1/2,该合金具有良好的综合力学性能。
The WC-10 Co cemented carbides with different Cr_3C_2 additive amount(0-4.0%) were prepared by traditional powder metallurgy. The microstructure of the alloy was analyzed by optical microscopy(OM), scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and energy spectrometer. The magnetic force, cobalt magnetic, density, transverse fracture strength, vickers hardness and fracture toughness of the WC-10 Co cemented carbides were tested. The effect of Cr_3C_2 additive amount on the conventional properties was studied. The effect of Cr_3C_2 addition on the grain size and grain uniformity of WC was emphatically discussed. The results show that addition of Cr_3C_2 can effectively refine the grain of WC-Co cemented carbide. With increasing Cr_3C_2 additive amount, the grain uniformity of WC improves, the cobalt magnetism of the alloy decreases linearly, the alloy density and fracture toughness also decrease, the hardness and the magnetic force increase, and the transverse fracture strength increases first and then decreases. The optimal comprehensive mechanical properties of the alloy with the magnetic force of 19.0 kA/m, density of 14.45 g/cm3, hardness(HV30) of 1 600, bending strength of 3 920 MPa, fracture toughness of 10.5 MPa?m1/2 was obtained when the Cr_3C_2 additive amount is 0.5%.
