Properties of tungsten carbide powder electroexplosive spray coating confined in tube

Electro-thermal spraying is a method for melting, vaporizing and expanding conductors with powerful pulsed current, causing explosion, generating shock wave mechanical effect and spraying blast products to substrate surface at high speed to form coating. Most electroexplosive spraying materials are made of silk, such as Ni wire, Mo wire, Cu wire, ZnO wire, etc. Part of the foil as a spraying material for spraying. As most spraying materials exist in the form of powder, therefore, using powder as spraying materials has certain application advantages. Powder electro-explosive spraying first powder is burned into wire as the spraying material, or powder into aluminum oxide tube into powder column after spraying on the inner wall of tube workpiece. These spraying methods for circular tubes have certain limits on the spraying distance, which can only be the radius of the tube. In order to effectively control spraying distance during the spraying process, the literature to study the directional spraying powder, the powder into the inner layer of insulating tube and outer metal sleeve tube in the container, the container side open a window, thus limit of spraying direction, explosion product pouring out the impact from the window to the substrate surface coating.
The tungsten carbide powder was prefabricated on the matrix by hydraulic press and simple die, and the prefabricated layer was fused by high-power CO_2 laser. The temperature field of laser surface cladding is simulated by APDL parameter language of ANSYS, and the parameters range of laser surface cladding process is predicted. In this paper, a hard alloy powder composed of ferroalloy powder, tungsten carbide powder and cobalt powder is selected. With Q235 ordinary carbon steel as the matrix, a hole about 1.5mm deep is directly milling on the matrix metal to form a pressing die. A simple punch is designed and a reasonable pressing process is established. A universal hydraulic press is used to press the hard alloy powder pre-installed in the mould onto the matrix, and a certain strength and thickness are obtained, and a preset layer of mechanical engagement is formed with the matrix. Tj-hl-t5000 5kw cross-flow CO_2 laser machine was used to determine the processing power of 2600W and spot width of 13mm. Based on the theory of laser cladding limit thickness, the maximum limit scanning speed is calculated and the tentative scanning speed is set down. In laser cladding, the optimum process parameters are obtained by fixing the power, changing the spot size and changing the scanning speed.

Wear characteristics of tungsten carbide spray coating on surface of Q235 steel

Wear is a variety of mechanical parts in the working process of one of the main failure forms. Statistics show that in the failure of mechanical parts, about 75% ~ 80% belongs to metal wear, provide machine is about 30% ~ 40% of energy consumption on the friction and wear in the process, and most of the failure phenomena occurred in the material surface, and take various means to improve the surface performance of materials, to enhance the safety and reliability of the parts or to extend the service life is very effective. Cemented carbide as a set of high hardness and toughness is higher than the one of a material, industry often apply it to require the surface damage resistance and abrasion resistance of high places, however The whole of the workpiece using hard alloy will greatly increase the cost, and the requirements of higher than its hardness of the tool, limiting its range of application.

If we can, therefore, in the preparation of low carbon steel surface layer of the cheap kind of tungsten carbide spray coating, make its have the cemented carbide surface performance, in order to improve the service life of the under some special conditions, can reduce the cost, and will be of great technical value and economic significance and broad application prospects. The preparation and properties of WC cemented carbide coating is cemented carbide and hot hardness is the highest, and Co, N I, Fe of metals such as good wettability, especially cobalt. When the temperature rises to more than metal melting, WC can dissolve in the metallic melts.

Introduction arc spraying is a process in which molten metal wire is atomized by high-speed air stream and sprayed onto the surface of workpiece to form a coating by using arc as heat source. Powder composite arc spraying technology is developed on the basis of arc spraying. It is a process of melting wires by arc and adding alloy ceramic powder to the metal surface at high speed to obtain the composite tungsten carbide spray coating with high wear resistance and corrosion resistance. This method can be used for the parts and components made of carbon steel, alloy steel, cast iron, etc. The method can also be used for surface repair of some worn parts or corroded parts. In recent years, arc spraying technology develops rapidly and is widely used in various fields of industry. In this paper, the microstructure of powder composite arc spraying coating and common arc spraying coating are analyzed, the microhardness of coating and substrate are tested, and the wear resistance of the two coatings is compared.

Ultrasonic grinding of tungsten carbide wire drawing dies

Ultrasonic machining diamond die has long been used in the domestic application, but used in the hard alloy drawing die processing at present few, especially the larger aperture drawing die is so. Ultrasonic grinding is the transformation of electrical energy into mechanical energy at a frequency of about 20,000 cycles per second (20,000 times per second for longitudinal movement); Speed movement processing equipment. At present, complicated softbank welding device is used in the connection of copying needle and changing pole, otherwise the processing efficiency will be greatly reduced. Due to the processing speed, if the cemented carbide drawing die processing, according to the requirements of process strictly every processing a wire-drawing die need to replace a needle, the atmosphere day frequently change requires a lot of needle, the needle and complex welding must be conducted, it is seriously hampering the this technology in the application oftungsten carbide wire drawing dies to touch. In addition, because the processing speed is fast, difficult to master, not easy to achieve linear processing, and high concentration of energy and other factors, therefore, in the promotion and use is also limited.

Compared with hard alloy die, polycrystalline diamond die drawing die has the following obvious advantages:

1. High drawing efficiency

In the process of using the drawing die, necessary maintenance is very important to the service life of the drawing die and the surface quality of wires. It is usually recommended that customers maintain the polycrystalline diamond drawing die every 24 hours. Within 24 hours, the diameter change of polycrystalline diamond wire drawing die is small, and the rate of wire diameter change of pulled wire is also small. For the whole production process, the compression rate of wire diameter of each drawing die is relatively stable, and the ratio of input and output is large.

2. Good wear resistance and long service life

The drawing die life of polycrystalline diamond is about 30-50 times that of the hard alloy die, so it is not necessary to stop the machine often to replace the die in the drawing process. The aperture of polycrystallinetungsten carbidewire drawing dieschanges very little in unit time, and the size of wire pulled out changes very little, which is very beneficial to the winding of reel wire. Generally, the winding number of wires pulled out is fixed. If the finished size of wires becomes larger soon, the winding number will decrease relatively quickly, which requires constant changes in the size of the reel, which is not conducive to the improvement of production efficiency.

Save on raw materials

If the wire coated with metal on the drawing surface is stopped during the drawing process, the electroplating process does not stop, which will lead to the excessive plating thickness of the wire surface that is being electroplated, and the wire shall be cut off when the drawing starts again, resulting in great waste. The more times the machine stops, the greater the waste will be. Using polycrystalline diamond mold, this waste can be greatly reduced.
