摘要
The as-sintered sinter skin of WC-11Co-0.71Cr3C2-0.06RE cemented carbide with WC＋βmicrostructure was analyzed by scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscope and X-ray diffractometer. RE represents La-, Ce-, Pr- and Nd-containing mischmetal, andβis cobalt-based binder phase. It was discovered that La, Ce, Pr and Nd migrated directionally from the alloy to the sinter skin to combine with the impurity elements S and O from the sintering atmosphere during the sintering process. As a result, main dispersed phase RE2S3 and minor RE2O2S were formed in situ on the sinter skin. The mechanisms for the stimulation of the migration activity and the directional migration of RE atoms were discussed in terms of the thermodynamics stability of Cr3C2, solubility characteristic of Cr in Co and the polarization or ionization of RE atoms.
采用扫描电镜、能谱仪以及X射线衍射仪对具有WC+β(β为钴基粘结相)两相结构的WC-11Co-0.71Cr3C2-0.06RE(RE为含La、Ce、Pr、Nd的混合稀土)硬质合金烧结体表面进行观察与分析。结果表明,在烧结过程中合金中的La、Ce、Pr、Nd通过定向迁移与烧结炉内气氛中的S、O等杂质元素结合,在合金烧结体表面形成RE2S3(主)和RE2O2S(少量)弥散相。从合金中Cr3C2的热力学稳定性、Cr在Co中的溶解度特性以及稀土原子激发等3个方面,对稀土迁移活性的激发机制和稀土原子的定向迁移机制进行分析与讨论。
