Opportunities and challenges of nano-hard alloy materials
After more than 60 years of development, China's cemented carbide industry has become the world's largest producer of hard alloys. According to the statistics of the China Tungsten Industry Association's cemented carbide branch, the annual production of domestic cemented carbide in the past three years (2012-2014) is 2.2-25,000 tons, accounting for more than 40% of the global total. China's cemented carbide production and consumption are the world's first, but not a strong country in the cemented carbide industry. Compared with internationally renowned cemented carbide companies such as Sweden's Sandvik, American Kennametal, Inframat, Germany's KF, Austria's Plansee, France's Forecreu, and Japan's Toshibatungaloy, the gap in China's cemented carbide industry is reflected in the lack of high-end products and the lack of key technologies, especially In the field of ultra-fine and nano-hard alloys which have been rapidly developed in recent years in the world.
In view of the international development trend in the field of ultra-fine and nano-hard alloys, as well as the status quo and bottlenecks of China's development, with the support of many scientific research projects in the country and Beijing, the winners of the National Outstanding Youth Science Fund and Beijing's high-level innovation and entrepreneurship Planned 100 million engineering leader talent Professor Song Xiaoyan as the responsible person of the Beijing University of Technology cemented carbide team, after more than 10 years of basic research and technology development work, established a series of ultra-fine, nano-hard alloys for large-scale preparation and engineering applications Technology, working closely with domestic cemented carbide companies to develop high value-added carbide materials and products for high-end industrial applications.
With the rapid development of modern manufacturing industry and the advent of various new difficult-to-machine materials, more and more stringent requirements have been placed on the quality and performance of cemented carbide tooling products. For WC-based cemented carbides, ultrafine (average grain size 200-500 nm) and nanocrystalline (average grain) compared to conventional coarse-grain (usually referred to as average grain size 13 μm) cemented carbide With a hardness of 200 nm or less, cemented carbide has significantly improved hardness, wear resistance and breaking strength. It is an advanced material that is unmatched in high-end machining technology such as drilling, cutting and milling with high efficiency and high precision.
Nano-hard alloy materials emerged from the late 1990s to the beginning of this century. Various kinds of methods for preparing new methods emerged. In the following years, the development of nanostructures, fine characterization and comparative analysis of mechanical properties, and the scale of nano-hard alloys in recent years Chemical preparation and industrial application have become the focus of research and development in the world, which has attached great importance to the frontier competitiveness. During this period, it has experienced the survival of the fittest of many preparation methods of nano-hard alloys. For example, sol-gel/coprecipitation method, plasma method, etc. are limited to laboratory micro-synthesis of nano-WC powder; discharge plasma sintering, ultra-high pressure consolidation, etc. are limited to laboratory preparation of nano-polycrystalline materials with simple shape and small three-dimensional size; The spray conversion method can mass-produce nano-WC powders; low-pressure sintering can realize large-scale production of high-performance cemented carbide. However, the complicated operation steps of the spray conversion method, high process cost, and strict control precision greatly limit the popularization and application of this technology in the preparation of nano-WC powders in China; in the low-pressure sintering of hard alloys, domestic ultra-fine crystal hard The toughness and strength of the quality alloy block/bar material are significantly lower than those of the ultrafine grained carbide high-end products of the same composition in the world.
Break through the key technologies of the series
The cemented carbide team of Beijing University of Technology has broken through a series of key technologies in the development and application of new high-performance cemented carbide materials:
Large-scale preparation technology of nano-WC-Co composite powder with controllable phase and adjustable particle size: The technology originally developed a tungsten-cobalt oxide with carbon as raw material, and synthesizes ultrafine or nano in one step by solid phase in situ reaction. A new approach to WC-Co composite powders.

The composite powder phase is pure, the oxygen content is low, the Co content is accurately adjustable within a range of 6-20wt%, and the particle size is accurately controllable at various size levels of ultra-fine (200-500nm) and nano-(70-200nm) scales. It has reached the international quality control standards for ultra-fine and nano-WC powders, and the production cost has been greatly reduced. The composite powder can meet the requirements of various hard alloy sintered materials and protective coatings such as high hardness, high toughness, abrasion resistance and corrosion resistance.
Large-scale preparation technology of high-flow, nanostructured WC-based spray powder: This technology invents a granulation process of spray drying combined with heat treatment to prepare a thermal spray powder that maintains both nanostructures and high fluidity, and fundamentally solves The international technical problem that nano-powder is prone to decomposition and decarburization in the hot spray high-temperature flame flow. Developed a series of nanostructured thermal spray powders such as WC-Co, WC-Co-Cr, WC-, sphericity >95%, bulk density 4.0-5.0g/cm3, flow rate <18s/50g, performance under the same composition conditions The index exceeds the performance of international famous brand spray materials such as Praxair, Inframat and Starck in Germany.

The average grain size is 60-100 nm, a dense nanocrystalline cemented carbide bulk material. The dense nanocrystalline cemented carbide with an average grain size of 60 nm is a cemented carbide sintered material which has been reported to the international minimum to achieve the minimum grain size, and has high hardness and high fracture toughness performance indexes, reaching nanocrystalline hard The international frontier level of alloyed sintered materials.
Preparation technology of high-strength and tough ultra-fine grained cemented carbide sintered material: Based on the low-pressure sintering equipment used by domestic enterprises, the low-pressure sintering process for in-situ synthesis of ultra-fine and nano-composite powders is established. The structure-effect relationship between the microscopic parameters of the nanocrystalline composite phase and the transverse rupture strength breaks through the technical bottleneck of the reverse change of hardness and toughness. Under the premise of maintaining high hardness of the ultrafine grained cemented carbide material, high toughness is obtained. And ultra high breaking strength. Taking WC-12Co as an example, the hardness of the sintered block/bar material is HRA 90-93.0, the fracture toughness is 13.0 18.0 MPa·m 1/2, and the transverse rupture strength is 4800-5200 MPa, compared with the sintered cemented carbide of the same composition.
