The invention also relates to an additive for superhard material product made from the additive raw material composition and a preparation method of the same. The invention also relates to a composite binding agent containing the additive.

BACKGROUND ART

Superhard materials mainly refer to diamond and cubic boron nitride, whose hardness is far higher than that of other materials. Superhard materials and products thereof are an emerging industry strongly supported by the nation. It is pointed out in Chinese “Twelfth Five-Year” Development Plan for National Strategic Emerging Industries that new functional materials should be vigorously developed, and high-purity graphite, artificial crystals, superhard materials and products thereof should be actively developed. According to the difference of types of binding agents, the superhard material products mainly include: superhard material products with metal binding agents, superhard material products with ceramic binding agents, superhard material products with resin binding agents, superhard material products with electroplated metal binding agents and so on.


As one of the main types of superhard material products, the superhard material products with metal binding agents have the advantages such as strong holding force to abrasive, high strength, good abrasion resistance, good performance of maintaining the shape of a working face, and long service life, and are widely applied to cutting, grinding and shaping and grinding-processing of inorganic non-metal hard and brittle materials such as stones, glasses, ceramics and artificial crystals. However, diamond products with metal binding agents have the problems such as poor self-sharpness, easy blockage, and low grinding efficiency, which limit their use and development.


With regard to the problems of the superhard material products with metal binding agents, numerous investigations and attempts have been made by scholars, primarily adding barren materials including graphite, ceramic, and iron oxide as additive. However, if an excessive quantity of these additives is added, the strength of an abrasive layer and the holding force of the binding agents to the abrasive will be severely reduced, significantly decreasing the service life and easily causing scratches; if the quantity added is too little, the function of improving the grinding performance and the grinding efficiency is not significant.


For example, in the prior art, a superhard abrasive grinding wheel with metal binding agent, which can be subjected to on-line electrolysis, is manufactured by a cold pressing sintering method. One or two additives from graphite and ferroferric oxide, which are used in the superhard abrasive grinding wheel as non-metal additive, have a small adhering function and relatively low strength (being quite different from the metal binding agent in strength), and are unfavorable to keeping the strength of the abrasive layer and the holding force to the abrasive.


Self-sharpness of grinding wheel means that when abrasive grains of the grinding wheel are blunted, the grinding force is also increased accordingly, so that the abrasive grains are broken or fall down, and sharp cutting edges appear again. During the process of grinding of the superhard material product grinding wheel, edges and corners of the abrasive grains of the grinding wheel are gradually rounded and blunted under the effects of friction and extrusion, and abrasive debris is often stuck on the surface of the grinding wheel so that the surface of the grinding wheel is blocked, and finally the grinding wheel loses the grinding ability. At this time, skidding will occur between the grinding wheel and a workpiece, and vibration may be induced and noise may appear, so that the grinding efficiency is decreased and the surface roughness becomes worse. Meanwhile, as the grinding force and the grinding heat are increased, the workpiece will be deformed and the grinding accuracy will be affected, and in severe cases the grinding surface will be burnt and tiny cracks will appear thereon. At this time, the grinding wheel has to be trimmed with a trimmer. The grinding wheel usually needs to be trimmed for tens of minutes or even several hours, severely affecting the manufacturing steps and lowering the producing efficiency; the trimmer is expensive, and the cost is high. In high-accuracy grinding, a machine tool needs to be further equipped with an in-process trimming device, which also increases the design difficulty and manufacturing cost of the machine tool. In the prior art, improvement on the self-sharpness of the diamond grinding wheel is merely limited to improvement on trimming gap, while the problems of long time and high cost of trimming the grinding wheel still cannot be solved. The grinding wheel with the composite binding agent uses a composite binding agent made from ceramic powder and bronze powder, but the ceramic powder, having a relatively high level of fire resistance, needs to be smelted at 1700° C., which is higher than the sintering temperature of the grinding wheel, and the ceramic powder is not easy to disperse uniformly during the sintering process, having limited function in improving the grinding efficiency and the service life of the grinding wheel.


DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

One of the objects of the present invention is to provide an additive raw material composition for superhard material product, wherein the difference between the strength of the obtained additive and that of the metal binding agent is small, and the obtained additive has a low level of fire resistance, and can remarkably improve the grinding efficiency and the service life of the superhard material product with the metal binding agent.


Another object of the present invention is to further provide an additive for superhard material product made by the above additive raw material composition and a preparation method thereof, and a composite binding agent containing the additive and a superhard material product using the composite binding agent.


Another object of the present invention is to further provide a self-sharpening diamond grinding wheel and a preparation method thereof.


In order to achieve the above objects, technical solutions used in the present invention are as follows:


an additive raw material composition for superhard material product consisting of components in a mass percentage as follows:


Bi2O3 25%˜40%, B2O3 25%˜40%, ZnO 5%˜25%, SiO2 2%˜10%, Al2O3 2%˜10%, Na2CO3 1%˜5%, Li2CO3 1%˜5%, MgCO3 0%˜5%, and CaF2 1%˜5%.


In the above raw material composition, the purity of each of the raw materials is analytically pure.


An additive for superhard material product is made from raw materials in a mass percentage as follows:


Bi2O3 25%˜40%, B2O3 25%˜40%, ZnO 5%˜25%, SiO2 2%˜10%, Al2O3 2%˜10%, Na2CO3 1%˜5%, Li2CO3 1%˜5%, MgCO3 0%˜5%, and CaF2 1%˜5%.


The particle size of the additive is D90<200 nm.


A method for preparing the above additive includes the steps of:


1) mixing Bi2O3, B2O3, ZnO, SiO2, Al2O3, Na2CO3, Li2CO3, and MgCO3 of a formula ratio, heating up to 1200˜1400° C. and keeping the temperature for 1˜3 hours to provide a mixture;


2) cooling the mixture obtained in Step 1) to 850˜950° C., adding CaF2 of the formula ratio to the mixture, and keeping the temperature for 1˜2 hours to provide a sinter;


3) quenching the sinter obtained in Step 2) and then crushing the quenched sinter to make the quenched sinter in a particle size of D90<200 nm to provide the additive.


A composite binding agent consists of a metal binding agent and the above additive. The content of mass percentage of the additive in the composite binding agent is no more than 30%. In one embodiment, the content of mass percentage of the additive in the composite binding agent is 1.1%˜30%.


A superhard material product uses the above composite binding agent; optionally, the superhard material product is a grinding wheel. In this grinding wheel, the weight of the additive is 1%˜10% of the total weight of the raw materials of the grinding wheel. The raw materials of the grinding wheel include the composite binding agent and an abrasive.


A self-sharpening diamond grinding wheel includes an abrasive block. Raw materials of the abrasive block include a metal binding agent, MoS2, SG abrasive, diamond and the above additive; the mass percentage of the above additive in the raw materials of the abrasive block is 1%˜10%.


A method for manufacturing the above self-sharpening diamond grinding wheel includes the steps of:


a) mixing a metal binding agent, MoS2 powder, SG abrasive, diamond and additive to provide a mixture;


b) placing the mixture obtained in Step a) in a mold and pressing the mixture to provide a semi-finished product;


c) placing the semi-finished product obtained in Step b) in a mold, heating up to 580˜620° C. and keeping the temperature for 4˜10 min for sintering, followed by quenching, to provide the abrasive block.


The method for manufacturing the self-sharpening diamond grinding wheel further includes adhering the obtained abrasive block on a grinding wheel substrate to provide the self-sharpening diamond grinding wheel.


In the additive raw material composition for superhard material product of the present invention, Bi2O3, B2O3, ZnO, SiO2, Al2O3, Na2CO3, Li2CO3, and MgCO3 are used for compounding with CaF2, and the components coordinate and cooperate with each other; the additive made from the raw material composition has a microcrystalline structure, and its strength is greater than 200 MPa, which is not quite different from the metal bonding agent in strength, and will not remarkably lower the strength of the superhard material product with the metal binding agent; the level of fire resistance of the additive is lower than 500° C., which is far lower than the sintering temperature of the superhard material product with the metal binding agent, and when the superhard material product with the metal binding agent is sintered, the additive is in a molten state, and is radially distributed between particles of the skeleton after the sintering; the additive, whose particle size reaches a submicron level, is uniformly dispersed in the product with fine texture, has less influence on the overall strength of the product, and can remarkably improve the grinding efficiency and the service life of the superhard material product with the metal binding agent.


The method for preparing additive for superhard material product of the present invention is mixing and smelting Bi2O3, B2O3, ZnO, SiO2, Al2O3, Na2CO3, Li2CO3, and MgCO3, then cooling and adding CaF2 to the mixture, keeping the temperature, and then quenching and crushing to provide the additive; the additive obtained has a microcrystalline structure, high strength, low fire resistance, and small particle size; this preparation method has a simple process, is easy to operate, and is suitable to large-scale industrialized manufacturing.


The additive shows uniformly diffused radial distribution of a submicron level in the composite binding agent. The additive is compounded with a metal binding agent to form a composite binding agent. A superhard material product using the composite binding agent has less influence on the strength of the metal binding agent, improves the sharpness and service life of the product, and enhances the grinding performance of the product.


In the self-sharpening diamond grinding wheel of the present invention, raw materials of the abrasive block include a metal binding agent, MoS2, SG abrasive, diamond and additive. The additive is made from certain amounts of Bi2O3, B2O3, ZnO, SiO2, Al2O3, Na2CO3, Li2CO3, MgCO3 and CaF2; the additive has a microcrystalline structure, and its strength is greater than 200 MPa. The difference between the strength of the additive and that of the metal binding agent is small; the fire resistance of the additive is lower than 500° C., far lower than the sintering temperature of the superhard material product with the metal binding agent. The additive is in a molten state when being sintered, is radially distributed between particles of the skeleton after the sintering, and is uniformly dispersed with fine texture.


In the self-sharpening grinding wheel of the present invention, the coefficient of linear expansion of the additive used matches well with the diamond; the additive shows uniformly diffused radial distribution of a submicron level in the grinding wheel, has less influence on the overall strength of the grinding wheel, and can remarkably improve the self-sharpness and service life of the diamond grinding wheel with a metal binding agent; the MoS2 powder has a stable chemical property and a very strong adhesion force between metals, has a lubrication function, and also serves an anti-oxidation function in powders; the SG abrasive has the functions of site-occupying and assisting the grinding in the grinding wheel, prevents the grinding wheel from being blocked, and meanwhile can improve the performance of maintaining the shape of the diamond grinding wheel, and thus avoids loss of accuracy of shape of the grinding wheel. The self-sharpening grinding wheel of the present invention, with the abrasive block taking a metal binding agent, SG abrasive, diamond and the above additive as raw materials, has high self-sharpness, high strength, high processing efficiency, and fine texture, is uniformly consumed during the grinding process, and does not need to be trimmed during its operational life cycle. Moreover, during the grinding process, it maintains good grinding force all the time, fundamentally solving the problems of long trimming time and high trimming cost of the diamond grinding wheel, and possessing good economic benefit.


Further, the self-sharpening diamond grinding wheel of the present invention uses the metal binding agent made from certain amounts of Cu powder, Sn powder, Co powder, Al powder, Fe powder, Cr powder, and Ti powder; in the metal binding agent, the Al powder, which has a relatively high activity, is quite easy to oxidize, can preferentially react with oxygen in air during the sintering process, so as to prevent oxidization of other metal powders and diamond, thus the sintering process can be carried out in an air atmosphere, greatly reducing the cost; the Cr powder and the Ti powder can form carbides with the abrasive, improving the adhering strength of the diamond plated with the binding agent.


In the method for manufacturing the self-sharpening diamond grinding wheel of the present invention, the raw materials are mixed, then the mixture is firstly pressed into a semi-finished product in a mold, and then sintered; after the hot pressing sintering, the mold is quickly placed in water to be quenched, which can prevent the crystal grains from growing excessively, so that the grinding wheel has a fine texture, thus a diamond grinding wheel with high strength and high self-sharpness is obtained. Moreover, the grinding wheel is uniformly consumed during the grinding process. This manufacturing method has a simple process, easy operation, low sintering temperature, and low cost, and is easy to be controlled automatically and suitable to large-scale industrialized manufacturing.
