摘要: 为解决常规定温超固相线液相烧结出现的烧结温度窗口狭窄和产品力学性能对烧结温度波动敏感的问题,采用变温超固相线液相烧结工艺制备了粉末冶金高铬铸铁,研究了变温超固相线液相烧结的高温阶段工艺参数对15Cr系高铬铸铁显微组织和力学性能的影响,并与定温超固相线液相烧结制备的合金进行了对比。研究发现,变温超固相线液相烧结制备的合金由M7C3型碳化物、马氏体及少量奥氏体组成,通过高、低温两个阶段的烧结能够实现高效致密化和对显微组织的有效调控,制备出相对密度超过98.96%的高性能合金材料,烧结温度窗口相较于定温超固相线液相烧结扩展了15 ℃。在1225~1245 ℃、5~10 min的高温阶段窗口,随烧结温度升高与保温时间延长,合金显微组织逐渐粗化;当高温阶段烧结保温时间控制在10 min以内时,合金晶粒尺寸低于26.98 μm,组织粗化程度可接受。变温超固相线液相烧结高铬铸铁的硬度和冲击韧性优于定温超固相线液相烧结高铬铸铁,且冲击韧性在烧结窗口内保持稳定,平均值达12.10 J·cm−2。在1~3 J·cm−2冲击功下,变温超固相线液相烧结试样的抗冲击磨粒磨损性能优于定温超固相线液相烧结试样,随着冲击功提高,合金的抗冲击磨粒磨损性能提升从9.70%提高到19.83%。Abstract: To solve the problems in the one-stage supersolidus liquid phase sintering (SLPS) that the sintering temperature window is narrow and the mechanical properties of the products are very sensitive to the fluctuation of sintering temperature, the high chromium cast iron (HCCI) was prepared by the two-stage SLPS technique. The effects of process parameters in the high temperature stage (HTS) on the microstructure and mechanical properties of 15Cr high chromium cast iron prepared by the two-stage SLPS were studied, and the alloys prepared by the one-stage SLPS were compared. The results show that the alloys prepared by the two-stage SLPS are composed of M7C3-type carbides, martensite, and a small amount of austenite. Efficient densification and the effective control of microstructure can be achieved through the high and low temperature sintering, and the relative density of high performance alloy material is more than 98.96%. The sintering temperature window is 15 ℃ wider than that of one-stage SLPS. The microstructure of the alloys is gradually coarsened with the increase of the sintering temperature and the holding time during the high temperature stage from 1225 ℃ to 1245 ℃ for 5~10 min. However, when the holding time is controlled within 10 min during the high temperature stage, the grain size is less than 26.98 μm, and the coarsening degree is acceptable. The hardness and impact toughness of HCCI prepared by the two-stage SLPS are better than those prepared by the one-stage SLPS, and the impact toughness remains stable within the sintering window with the average value of 12.10 J·cm−2. Under the impact energy from 1 J·cm−2 to 3 J·cm−2, the impact abrasive wear resistance of the samples sintered by the two-stage SLPS is better than that of the samples sintered by the one-stage SLPS. With the increase of impact energy, the improvement of impact abrasive wear resistance of the alloys increases from 9.70% to 19.83%.
