Detailed Description
The invention provides a high-performance polycrystalline diamond compact and a preparation method thereof, and the invention is further described in detail below for the purpose, the technical scheme and the effect of the invention to be clearer and clearer. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
It will be understood by those skilled in the art that all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs unless defined otherwise. It will be further understood that terms, such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries, should be interpreted as having a meaning that is consistent with their meaning in the context of the prior art and will not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless expressly so defined herein.
As shown in fig. 1, the invention provides a high-performance polycrystalline diamond compact, which comprises a polycrystalline diamond layer 1 and a hard alloy matrix 2 positioned on one side of the polycrystalline diamond layer, wherein the polycrystalline diamond layer 1 contains 5-25wt% of coarse-grained diamond particles 3 with the D50 particle size of 25-45 micrometers.
When the composite sheet is subjected to continuous impact in the actual use process, microcracks are easy to generate in gaps among diamond particles with weaker strength, and along with the continuous progress of the impact, the microcracks continuously grow along the gaps among the diamond particles until the whole polycrystalline diamond layer is broken. In the invention, 5-25wt% of coarse-grained diamond particles with the D50 particle size of 25-45 microns are additionally added into the polycrystalline diamond layer of the composite sheet, so that the effect of blocking crack growth can be achieved, and as shown in figure 2, when the microcracks 4 encounter coarse-grained diamond particles with higher strength in the process of growing along gaps between the diamond particles, the growth process of the microcracks 4 is blocked.
In the present embodiment, the coarse-grain diamond particles having a D50 particle diameter of 25 to 45 μm means that, in the coarse-grain diamond particles, the particle diameter corresponding to a cumulative particle size distribution percentage of 50% is 25 to 45 μm.
In addition, the invention provides a preparation method of the high-performance polycrystalline diamond compact, which comprises the following steps:
Step S10, mixing diamond micro powder with different particle diameters below 15 microns to obtain a diamond raw material;
Step S20, adding coarse-grain diamond particles into the diamond micro powder, and mixing to obtain premix, wherein the D50 grain diameter of the coarse-grain diamond particles is 25-45 microns;
s30, filling the premix into a die, and then putting a hard alloy matrix into the die to obtain an assembly;
And step S40, placing the assembly into a top press for sintering treatment to obtain the high-performance polycrystalline diamond compact.
The method comprises the steps of adding coarse-grained diamond particles with the D50 particle size of 25-45 microns into a polycrystalline diamond layer of a composite sheet, playing a role in blocking crack growth, putting the premix into a die in combination with the preparation method, putting a hard alloy matrix into the die to obtain an assembly, putting the assembly into a top press for sintering treatment, and effectively improving the wear resistance and impact resistance of the polycrystalline diamond composite sheet, wherein when cracks meet coarse-grained diamond particles with higher strength in the process of growing along gaps of the diamond particles, the crack growth process is blocked.
In some embodiments, the diamond feedstock is selected from two or more of diamond micropowder having a particle size of 15 microns or less.
As examples, the particle size of the diamond fine powder is not limited to 1 micron, 2 microns, 3 microns, 4 microns, 4.5 microns, 5 microns, 6 microns, 8 microns, 9.5 microns, but is certainly not limited to an integer, and may be a natural number of 0 to 15, and in the present embodiment, two or more diamond fine powders with particle sizes are mixed as diamond raw materials. The polycrystalline diamond compact prepared by mixing two or more diamond micro powders with different particle sizes as diamond raw materials has higher wear resistance.
In some embodiments, the mass of the coarse-size diamond particles is 5% -25% of the total mass of the diamond feedstock. When the addition amount of coarse-grained diamond particles in the polycrystalline diamond layer of the composite sheet is lower than 5wt%, the impact resistance improving effect on the diamond layer is not obvious, and when the addition amount of coarse-grained diamond particles in the polycrystalline diamond layer of the composite sheet is higher than 25wt%, the original wear resistance of the composite sheet is reduced. Therefore, in order to ensure that the impact resistance of the polycrystalline diamond layer is improved on the premise of not reducing the original wear resistance of the composite sheet, the mass of the coarse-grain diamond particles needs to be 5% -25% of the total mass of the diamond raw material, and the composite sheet has high wear resistance and high impact resistance.
In a preferred embodiment, the mass of the coarse-grain diamond particles accounts for 10% -15% of the total mass of the diamond raw materials, and the mass of the coarse-grain diamond particles can achieve optimal wear-resisting effect and impact-resisting effect under the ratio, so that the service life of the polycrystalline diamond compact is prolonged.
In some embodiments, the coarse-size diamond particles have a D50 particle size that is 1.5 to 5 times the primary-size diamond D50 particle size of the diamond feedstock. The method comprises the steps of obtaining a coarse-grained diamond particle with a D50 particle size smaller than 1.5 times of the D50 particle size of a diamond raw material, wherein the effect of improving the impact resistance of the diamond layer is not obvious when the D50 particle size of the coarse-grained diamond particle is smaller than 1.5 times of the D50 particle size of the diamond raw material, reducing the wear resistance of an original composite sheet, and determining the D50 of 5-25wt% of the coarse-grained diamond particle to be 25-45 micrometers on the premise of not reducing the wear resistance of the original composite sheet, wherein the D50 particle size of the coarse-grained diamond particle is 1.5-5 times of the D50 particle size of main-grained diamond in the diamond raw material.
In some embodiments, the mold is a metal cup.
In some embodiments, the metal cup is made of one of zirconium, niobium, molybdenum and tantalum, and is not easy to crack and damage under high temperature and high pressure.
In some embodiments, the top press is a hexahedral top press.
In some embodiments, the sintering process is performed at a pressure of 5.5-10.0GPa, at a temperature of 1300-1800 ℃, and for a time of 200-600s. The sintering treatment pressure, temperature and time can further strengthen the wear resistance and impact resistance of the polycrystalline diamond compact and prolong the service life of the polycrystalline diamond compact.
The following examples are further illustrative of the invention. It is also to be understood that the following examples are given solely for the purpose of illustration and are not to be construed as limitations upon the scope of the invention, since numerous insubstantial modifications and variations will now occur to those skilled in the art in light of the foregoing disclosure.
