Abstract

The effect of cold isostatic pressing of WC-15Co powder blanks on the sintered alloy strength in threepoint bending was evaluated. The specimens treated or nontreated by cold isostatic pressing (CIP) before sintering were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), strength and Vickers and Rockwell hardness test equipment. The strength of CIP-treated specimens in three-point bending was found to be 2410 MPa, which is 13% higher than that of the CIP-nontreated ones and 30% higher than the standardized strength of a VK15 hard alloy of a similar composition. The hardness was shown to be the highest for the specimens CIP-treated before sintering, while average WC grain sizes remained unchanged compared to the CIP-nontreated ones. The predominant crystal modification of cobalt in the CIPtreated specimens was revealed to be HCP-Co, in contrast to the CIP-nontreated ones, where cobalt was mainly in the metastable FCC modification. It is shown that in the specimens CIP-treated before sintering, the cobalt content on the fracture surface is 3-4 times higher than for the nontreated ones, and the fracture crack propagates mainly along the WC matrix phase–Co binder interface. In the CIP-nontreated specimens, the crack propagates in the Co volume, and WC grains on the fracture surface are covered with cobalt interlayers of different thicknesses. Cold isostatic pressing has been proposed as a requisite additional operation of standard hard alloy technology since already at the pressing stage, it provides essential conditions for enhancing the strength of sintered specimens.

冷等静压对 WC-15 wt.% Co 硬质合金强度的影响
评估了 WC-15Co 粉末坯料冷等静压对烧结合金三点弯曲强度的影响。通过扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、能量色散 X 射线光谱(EDS)、X 射线衍射(XRD)、强度、维氏硬度和洛氏硬度测试设备对烧结前经冷等静压(CIP)处理或未经处理的试样进行了分析。经 CIP 处理的试样的三点弯曲强度为 2410 兆帕,比未经 CIP 处理的试样高 13%,比成分相似的 VK15 硬质合金的标准强度高 30%。烧结前经过 CIP 处理的试样硬度最高,而 WC 平均晶粒大小与未经过 CIP 处理的试样相比保持不变。经 CIP 处理的试样中,钴的主要晶体结构为 HCP-Co,而未经 CIP 处理的试样中,钴的主要结构为可转移的 FCC 结构。研究表明,在烧结前经过 CIP 处理的试样中,断裂面上的钴含量是未处理试样的 3-4 倍,断裂裂纹主要沿着 WC 基体相-钴粘结剂界面传播。在 CIP 未处理的试样中,裂纹在 Co 体积中传播,断裂表面的 WC 晶粒被不同厚度的钴夹层覆盖。冷等静压被认为是标准硬质合金技术的必要附加操作,因为在压制阶段,冷等静压就为提高烧结试样的强度提供了必要条件。

期刊介绍: Strength of Materials focuses on the strength of materials and structural components subjected to different types of force and thermal loadings, the limiting strength criteria of structures, and the theory of strength of structures. Consideration is given to actual operating conditions, problems of crack resistance and theories of failure, the theory of oscillations of real mechanical systems, and calculations of the stress-strain state of structural components.
