Description

TECHNICAL FIELD



[0001] The disclosure relates the technical field of cemented carbide, in particular, to a cemented carbide screw nut mold with multi-layered gradient structure and manufacturing method thereof.

BACKGROUND



[0002] Cemented carbide is a material with high hardness, high strength and high wear-resistance, which has been widely used in many fields of modern industry. For the processing of hardware such as screws and nuts, a mold made of cemented carbide is usually used to punch metal bars to obtain hardware products. The wear-resistance of the working surface of the cemented carbide mold determines the service life of the entire mold. Traditional cemented carbide screw nut mold is made of cemented carbide material with high wear-resistance. After the end of the service of the mold, the entire mold material is scrapped. However, actually, only the surface layer of the stamping surface of the mold is damaged, so a waste of resource is caused if the material and the mold body are discarded together.

[0003] Employing a technical solution of using a gradient cemented carbide mold can save a lot of cemented carbide resources. Only the surface layer of the stamping surface of the mold is made of high wear-resistant cemented carbide material, and the mold body is made of cemented carbide material with high toughness, so that for the mold, the bearing surface has high hardness, good wear-resistance, and the mold body material has good impact toughness. The wear-resistance and toughness of the carbide are well coordinated, so that the comprehensive performance and service life of the cemented carbide are improved, and the contradiction between the wear-resistance and toughness in the traditional cemented carbide with uniform structure is better solved. However, the material properties of the blanks made of tough mixtures and wear-resistant mixtures vary greatly. How to press the tough and wear-resistant mixtures into a screw nut mold blank requires effective molding methods to achieve.

[0004] Chinese Patent No. CN103817150 disclosed a gradient-structural cemented carbide roller ring, including a roller ring outer layer and a roller ring core, wherein the roller ring outer layer is configured at an outer surface of the roller ring core, a mutual melting layer is formed between the roll ring outer layer and the roll ring core, a composition gradient is formed between the roll ring outer layer and the roll ring core, and the composition of the roll ring outer layer and the roll ring core are different. A wax-dried ball-milled mixture of roller ring outer layer and a wax-dried ball-milled mixture of roller ring core are layered and laminated with powder, cold-pressed into a roll-ring blank, and sintered to obtain a final product. The disadvantage is: for the roller-ring structure of this technical solution, the composition gradient is only formed in a radial direction of the roller ring, and no wear-resistance layer is disposed on upper and lower surfaces of the roller ring, so that the shear force on the surfaces may exert a peeling force on the interface of the radial composition during use of the roller ring, leading to limited service life of the roller ring. In view of this, the disclosure provides a cemented carbide screw nut mold with multi-layered gradient structure and manufacturing method thereof.

7. A manufacturing method for cemented carbide screw nut mold with multi-layered gradient structure, comprising steps of:

(1) blank forming of tough material matrix: placing a first mold sleeve from a bottom opening of an annular outer mold into an interior of the annular outer mold, and ensuring that bottom ends of the two are flush; inserting a first core rod into a center hole of the first mold sleeve, and ensuring that bottom ends of the two are flush; weighing a tungsten cemented carbide toughness mixture composed of WC powder Co powder and Cr3C2 powder and having a particle size of WC powder of 6-16 µm to fill into a space between an inner wall of the annular outer mold and the first core rod, then shaking, so that the tungsten cemented carbide toughness mixture is evenly filled; placing a second mold sleeve from the top opening of the annular mold into the annular mold, and letting the first core rod pass through a center hole of the second mold sleeve; applying pressure from a top of the second mold sleeve and pressurizing it to 2Mpa for 2 to 3 seconds, then depressurizing to atmospheric pressure, then pressurizing to 10MPa for 2 to 3 seconds, and depressurizing to atmospheric pressure again; taking out the second mold sleeve, and keeping the first core rod, the first mold sleeve, and the formed tough material matrix blank in the annular outer mold.

(2) forming of first wear-resistance material layer: weighing a tungsten cemented carbide wear-resistance mixture composed of WC powder Co powder and VC powder and having a particle size of WC powder of 0.6-6 µm to fill into a space between an upper surface of the toughness material blank and the first core rod, then shaking, so that the tungsten cemented carbide wear-resistance mixture is evenly filled; placing a second mold sleeve from the top opening of the annular mold into the annular mold, and letting the first core rod pass through a center hole of the second mold sleeve; applying pressure from a top of the second mold sleeve and pressurizing it to 4 to 5 Mpa for 5 to 3 seconds, then depressurizing to atmospheric pressure, then pressurizing to 4 to 5 MPa for 2 to 3 seconds and depressurizing to atmospheric pressure, and then pressurizing to 4 to 5 MPa for 2 to 3 seconds and depressurizing to atmospheric pressure again, then pressurizing to 10MPa for 5 seconds and depressurizing to atmospheric pressure again; taking out the first mold sleeve, applying pressure from the top of the second mold sleeve, abutting the first core rod and the whole blank from the annular outer mold at one time, pulling the first core rod out from a center hole of the blank, to obtain a first formed blank.

(3) placing of the second wear-resistance material layer: placing the tungsten cemented carbide wear-resistance mixture of the second wear-resistance material layer into the central through-hole structure of the first formed blank, and grinding and smoothing the upper surface.

(4) sintering: sintering for 3 to 5 hours in a temperature range of 250 °C to 450 °C; heating to a temperature range of 450 °C to 1200 °C, and sintering for 5 to 8 hours; then continuously heating to a temperature range of 1400 °C to 1500 °C, and sintered for 1 to 2 hours.
