The present disclosure relates to methods of preparing blades, and more particularly, to methods of preparing ultra-hard and wear-resistant composite blades.
The blade of a knife is usually made from a single material, such as a steel knife, a ceramic knife, and the like. These knives have sharp edges and are easy to cut. However, all-steel blades are usually made from a single high-carbon tool steel, an alloy tool steel, or a corrosion-resistant alloy steel. In this way, the consumption of hardness materials is increased, and so are the costs. In addition, the toughness of the tool steel after quenching process decreases and it is brittle and easy to chip, which lowers the impact resistance and increases danger during use. Ceramic blades are made of precision ceramic under high temperature and high pressure. They have the advantages of high wear resistance, high hardness, rust-resisting, easy to dean, and the like. But all-ceramic blades are not only costly and expensive, but also have lower toughness and are more brittle.
In the prior art, nickel-based, cobalt-based, and iron-based alloys, tungsten carbide composite material, high rust-resistant hard alloys and ceramic, and synthetic diamond are materials with relatively high hardness in the world. Ultra-hard alloy materials that are made by pulverization and high-temperature sintering of these materials show excellent usability and wide applicability in the fields of daily cutting tools and crushing tools. However, the ultra-hard alloy composite blades are assembled by using an ultra-hard alloy substrate and a corrosion-resistant base, which leads to insufficient fastness; and the ultra-hard material layer has a thin structure, which is weak and not suitable for tools.
The patent document CN101168230A discloses a method for preparing an ultra-hard composite blade, which comprises: drilling a preformed hole on a cemented carbide or high-speed steel plate which is to be the base of a blade; adding the ultra-hard material and the binder powder into the preformed hole under the protection of a sintering mold tool; and converting the materials in the preformed hole into an ultra-hard polycrystalline material by high-temperature and high-pressure sintering. Hence, this method requires formation of a preformed hole first and addition of a binder powder to strengthen the bonding fastness of the composite material, rendering a complicated process.
In view of deficiencies in the prior art, the present disclosure provides a method of preparing an ultra-hard and wear-resistant composite blade.
At least one object of the present disclosure is achieved by the following technical solutions.
In one aspect, the present disclosure provides a method for preparing an ultra-hard and wear-resistant composite blade, and the preparation method comprises:
Step A1, subjecting a blade base material to preform processing and base premolding processing to form a preformed body; and
Step A2, adding an ultra-hard alloy material to the preformed body, which is then subjecting to an ultra-high temperature melting treatment to produce a nanoscale ultra-hard alloy body;
Step A3, after cooling, processing and grinding, according to the blade specifications, the nanoscale ultra-hard alloy body to obtain an ultra-hard, wear-resistant and rust-resistant composite blade.
Preferably, the temperature of the ultra-high temperature melting treatment in Step A2 may be 1200 to 2700° C., and the process time may be 2 to 60 seconds. The temperature is chosen taking into account the melting temperature and temperature loss of different materials. If the temperature is too low, the material will not melt; while if the temperature is too high, the properties of the material will be disrupted.
Preferably, the shape of said preformed body may be a planar abutment or a curved abutment.
Preferably, said blade base material may include at least one selected from the group consisting of Martensitic stainless steel, ferritic stainless steel, Austenitic stainless steel, titanium alloy, and rust-resistant alloy.
Preferably, said ultra-hard alloy material may include at least one selected from the group consisting of nickel-based alloy, cobalt-based alloy, iron-based alloy, tungsten carbide composite material, high rust-resistant cemented carbide, ceramic, and synthetic diamond.
More preferably, said ultra-hard alloy material includes at least one selected from the group consisting of nickel-based alloy, tungsten carbide cobalt alloy, and ceramic.
Preferably the method of cooling may be air cooling or oil cooling.
More preferably, said cooling time may be 10 to 120 minutes and the temperature may be cooled to 10 to 100° C.
The present disclosure also provides an application of the ultra-hard and wear-resistant composite blade prepared according to the aforementioned method, which comprises use of said composite blades in preparing an ultra-hard and wear-resistant cutter, a single-side ultra-hard and wear-resistant cutter, or ultra-hard and wear-resistant scissors.
During preparation of the ultra-hard and wear-resistant composite blade of the present disclosure, it is unnecessary to add bonding agent to increase the bonding fastness of the composite material. Merely by instantaneously melting the object at a high temperature, the base material and the welding material are alloyed, so that the composite blade can be welded firmly and not easily be peeled off.
Compared with the prior art, the present disclosure has at least the following beneficial effects:
1. The composite blade prepared according to the present disclosure has ultra-high hardness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance.
2. The tip of the nanoscale ultra-hard alloy body can have durable sharpness, not easy to wear.
