Effect of Carbon Content on Microstructure and Properties of Ultrafine WC-12%Co Cemented Carbides

Rare Metals and Cemented Carbides | Vol., Issue 2, 2024 | pp. 63-69
Eight groups of WC-12%Co cemented carbides with different carbon contents were prepared by mixing,pressing,and hot isostatic pressing sintering.The influences of carbon content on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the cemented carbides were analyzed using metallographic microscope,scanning electron microscope,hardness tester,and electromechanical universal test machine.The results show that the WC-12%Co cemented carbides with carbon contents of 5.26%~5.42%are in the WC+γtwo-phase zone.When the carbon content is less than or equal to 5.22%,the cemented carbide exhibits flocculent and needle like decarburization phases.When the carbon content is greater than or equal to 5.46%,black flocculent carburized phase appears in the cemented carbides,accompanied by the appearance and aggregation of coarse grains and the segregation of cobalt.As the carbon content gradually increases,the WC grains gradually grow larger,the crystallization tends to be complete,the grain edges tend to be straight,and the grain boundaries become clearer.When the carbon content reaches 5.54%,rounded corners appear at the edges of the WC grains.The cemented carbides with carbon contents of 5.26%~5.42%are in WC and Co two-phase zone,exhibiting superior comprehensive mechanical properties,with hardness maintained at 1777~1695 kg/mm2 and bending strength of 3357~3290 MPa.

Rare Metals and Cemented Carbides | Vol., Issue 2, 2024 | pp. 70-75
YG6 fine-grained cemented carbides with different amounts of Mo2C were prepared by traditional powder metallurgy method.The influence of Mo2C addition amount on the microstructure and properties of YG6 fine-grained cemented carbides was studied by observing the microstructure and testing the physical and mechanical properties.The results show that with the increase of Mo2C addition,the grain size of WC in the alloy becomes finer and stablizes.When the addition of Mo2C in the alloy exceeds 3.5%,it has spheroidizing effect on the morphology of WC grains.In addition,the addition of Mo2C reduces the density of the cemented carbides,while the coercive force increases with the increase of Mo2C content.When Mo2C addition amount is 5.0%,the cemented carbides exhibit the best comprehensive mechanical properties,with hardness of 92.7 HRA,bending strength of 3600 MPa,and abrasive wear value of 0.81 cm3/(105r).

Rare Metals and Cemented Carbides | Vol., Issue 2, 2024 | pp. 76-88
WC-Ni based cemented carbides were fabricated by vat photopolymerization(3D printing)technology.The influence of slurry composition and printing parameters on the rheological and curing properties of the slurry was investigated,as well as the properties of WC-Ni based cemented carbides.The results indicate that when the solid content of the slurry is 40 vol.%and ZN-1344 is chosen as the dispersant with an addition of 2%by mass of the powder,the rheological properties of the WC-Ni slurry meet the requirements of the additive manufacturing process.And the viscosity of the slurry reaches 2.718 Pa·s at a shear rate of 100 s-1.When the printing parameters are set to 0.01 mm hatch spacing,90%laser power,and 2000 mm/s scanning speed,the maximum single-layer curing depth of the slurry reaches 144μm.The calculation model for the single-layer curing depth of the slurry is obtained by data fitting using the response surface methodology(RSM),and the calculated value has a deviation of 3.4%compared with the actual value,demonstrating its capability of theoretical prediction.The density and relative density of WC-15%Ni cemented carbide prepared via vat photopolymerization can reach a maximum of 13.51 g/cm3 and 96.5%,respectively.The addition of 1 wt.%grain growth inhibitor Cr3C2 significantly improves the Vickers hardness of the cemented carbide to 945 HV30,approaching the hardness of traditional cemented carbides with equivalent Ni content but without Cr3C2.

Rare Metals and Cemented Carbides | Vol., Issue 2, 2024 | pp. 95-102
FeCoNi medium-entropy alloy exhibits excellent properties compared with traditional alloys,but its room temperature strength is not high,which limits its application.The blocks of FeCoNiTix(x=0,0.25,0.50,0.75,1)medium-entropy alloy were prepared by mechanical alloying and spark plasma sintering.The effects of mechanical alloying sequence of each element and Ti content on the microstructure and properties of FeCoNiTix medium-entropy alloy were emphasized.Additionally,preliminary exploration was conducted on the application of FeCoNiTix medium-entropy alloy as binder in WC-based cemented carbides.The results show that the FeCoNi matrix phase is FCC phase during mechanical alloying,and the addition of Ti element results in the formation of Laves phase and titanium oxide phase.Therefore,the phase of FeCoNiTix medium-entropy alloy consists of FCC phase,Laves phase and titanium oxide phase.With the increase of Ti content,the density,hardness and strength of FeCoNiTix alloy increase,while the plasticity increases at first and then decreases.The FeCoNiTi0.50medium-entropy alloy exhibits good mechanical properties,and its microhardness,yield strength,compressive strength and compressive strain are 531 HV,1987.57 GPa,2114.85 GPa and 20.5%,respectively.The addition of a small amount of Ti element can enhance the corrosion resistance of FeCoNi alloy.FeCoNiTix binder can exist stably in WC-based cemented carbides,inhibiting the formation of decarburization phase in the sintering process of WC.WC-FeCoNiTi0.50cemented carbide exhibits good mechanical properties,and its microhardness and fracture toughness are 1834 HV and 15.12 MPa·m1/2,respectively.

Study on the Kinetics of Extracting Vanadium and Iron from Sulfuric Acid Solution with P507

Rare Metals and Cemented Carbides | Vol., Issue 1, 2024 | pp. 1-5
Vanadium is usually associated with other metals as a rare metal.A large number of impurity ions,such as iron,could exist in the sulfuric acid leaching solution of vanadium-bearing ore,which significantly impacts the subsequent separation and enrichment of vanadium.The study of extraction kinetics is an important method for determining the control steps in the extraction process,and the difficulty in extracting metal ions.A self-designed cylindrical constant interface cell was used to study the kinetics of extracting V(Ⅳ)and Fe(Ⅱ)from sulfuric acid solution with P507 as the extractant.The results show that the aqueous phase serves as the diffusion resistance zone of the extraction process,which is a chemical reaction-controlled type.The extraction rates of V(Ⅳ)and Fe(Ⅱ)both demonstrate an upward trend with the increase of stirring speed and extraction temperature.The apparent activation energy of V(Ⅳ)extraction is 48.68 kJ/mol,and that of Fe(Ⅱ)extraction is 135.11 kJ/mol.P507 is more likely to extract V(Ⅳ)from sulfuric acid solution,presenting the potential to achieve the efficient separation of V(Ⅳ)from Fe(Ⅱ).

Effect of Element Addition on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Two-Step Sintered W-6Ni-4Co Alloy

Rare Metals and Cemented Carbides | Vol., Issue 1, 2024 | pp. 17-23
The W-6Ni-4Co-2X alloys(X=Nb,Ta,Hf,Mo and Ti)were prepared by powder metallurgy technology,and the effects of adding Nb,Ta,Hf,Mo,and Ti elements on the microstructure and mechanical properties of W-6Ni-4Co alloy were investigated.The results show that the microstructure of the W-6Ni-4Co-2X alloys mainly includes base phase(W phase)and binder phase,and the type and content of the binder phase are related to the precipitation of dissolved W phase in the binder phase(Ni,Co)during sintering.The W grains of W-6Ni-4Co-2Ta alloy and W-6Ni-4Co-2Hf alloy are in the form of irregular polygon,while the W grains of W-6Ni-4Co-2Nb alloy and W-6Ni-4Co-2Ti alloy are ellipsoidal and dispersedly distributed in the binder phase.The uniform microstructure,finer grains,and good interfacial bonding of the W/binder phase in W-6Ni-4Co-2Ta alloy contribute to its superior hardness,bending strength,and yield strength.In W-6Ni-4Co-2Mo alloy,W grains are arranged in network structure,and the continuous W ske-leton structure,in synergy with the ductile binder phase,reduces the strain hardening of the alloy,contributing to its excellent strain hardening resistance.Therefore,adding suitable transition metal elements to W-6Ni-4Co alloy provides an effective way for improving its mechanical properties.
