摘要:

利用原位还原碳化反应制备纳米尺度的WC-Co复合粉体，应用放电等离子烧结(SPS)技术制备出纳米晶WC-Co硬质合金块体材料。分析了晶粒长大抑制剂碳化钒(VC)颗粒尺寸对纳米晶硬质合金的显微组织、晶粒尺寸及分布和力学性能的影响。结果表明：当VC的粒径减小到100 nm以下时，利用快速烧结技术可制备得到平均晶粒尺寸约为70 nm的致密WC-Co硬质合金块体材料，其物相纯净，晶粒尺寸分布均匀，维氏硬度为19.84 GPa，断裂韧性达到12.10 MPa·m1/2

Abstract:

The in-situ reduction and carbonization reactions were used to synthesize the WC-Co composite powder with nanoscale particle sizes. The nanocrystalline WC-Co cemented carbides bulk material was prepared by spark plasma sintering (SPS). Results show that the particle size of the grain growth inhibitor VC has a significant effect on the microstructure, grain size and properties of the prepared nanocrystalline WC-Co bulk material. When the VC particle size is below 100 nm, the prepared nanocrystalline WC-Co bulk has a mean grain size of about 70 nm. It has a high density, pure phase constitution, homogeneous grain size distribution and excellent mechanical properties, with a Vickers hardness of 19.84 GPa and a fracture toughness of 12.10 MPa×m1/2
