Abstract
Using the technology of vacuum compression sintering, which makes it possible to obtain hard alloys with a high level of mechanical and operational properties, the influence of gas pressure growth rates of 0.08, 0.2, and 0.5 MPa/min to 5 MPa during vacuum compression sintering on the structure and properties of the VK6M fine grained hard alloy is investigated. A positive effect of increasing the rate of gas pressure growth on the ultimate flexural strength and operational stability due to obtaining a structure with finer graines (dWC = 1.24 μm), reducing the residual microporosity to A1 0.02, increasing the shape factor of carbide grains to 0.84, and decreasing the intensity of gas desorption by a factor of 2.5–7.0 is established. The ultimate flexural strength of the alloy sintered at a gas pressure growth rate of 0.5 MPa/min is 1.35 times higher compared to that of the alloy sintered at a gas pressure growth rate of 0.08 MPa/min and 1.5 times higher compared to that of the alloy sintered in a vacuum, while the relative operational stability against rough milling in the first case is higher by 1.35 and 1.8 times compared to those in the corresponding other two cases, respectively.
