碳纳米葱对混合粒径PcBN复合材料性能的影响

Effect of Carbon Nano-Onions (OLC) on the Performance of Mixed-Particle-Size PcBN Composites

  • 摘要: 为提升聚晶立方氮化硼(Polycrystalline cubic boron nitride, PcBN)复合材料的致密化与强韧性,本研究以0.5~1.0 μm、1.0~2.0 μm、2.0~4.0 μm和4.0~6.0 μm四种粒度cBN颗粒作为原料,选用Al-Ti-Al2O3为多元结合剂,并通过引入不同含量的碳纳米葱(Onion-like carbon, OLC)调控界面结合。在5 GPa、1500 ℃的高温高压条件下制备PcBN复合材料,并系统表征其物相组成、显微组织及力学性能。结果表明,适量OLC的引入显著改善了结合相的微观分散,并为陶瓷相的析出提供了丰富的异相成核位点。相对密度随OLC含量先升后降,在0.5 wt%时达到99.5%(ρ=3.508 g·cm-3)。抗弯强度在1.0 wt%时达到最大值624 MPa。当OLC含量为2 wt%时,其硬度、断裂韧性和磨耗比分别达到峰值3814.8 HV、9.0 MPa·m1/2和6425。因此,当以硬度、断裂韧性和耐磨性能为主要评价指标时,2.0 wt% OLC时表现最佳;而相对密度和抗弯强度分别在较低OLC含量下达到峰值。

     

    Abstract: To improve the densification, strength, and toughness of polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PcBN) composites, cBN particles with four particle-size ranges—0.5–1.0 μm, 1.0–2.0 μm, 2.0–4.0 μm, and 4.0–6.0 μm—were used as starting materials. An Al–Ti–Al2O3 multicomponent binder was employed, and different amounts of onion-like carbon (OLC) were introduced to tailor interfacial bonding. PcBN composites were fabricated under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions of 5 GPa and 1500 °C, followed by systematic characterization of their phase composition, microstructure, and mechanical and wear-resistant properties. The results showed that an appropriate amount of OLC markedly improved the microstructural dispersion of the binder phase and provided abundant heterogeneous nucleation sites for the precipitation of ceramic phases. The relative density first increased and then decreased with increasing OLC content, reaching a maximum of 99.5% (ρ = 3.508 g·cm-3) at 0.5 wt% OLC. The flexural strength reached its highest value of 624 MPa at 1.0 wt% OLC. When the OLC content was 2.0 wt%, the hardness, fracture toughness, and wear ratio reached their peak values of 3814.8 HV, 9.0 MPa·m1/2, and 6425, respectively. Therefore, when hardness, fracture toughness, and wear resistance are considered the primary evaluation criteria, the composite containing 2.0 wt% OLC exhibits the best overall performance, whereas the maximum relative density and flexural strength are achieved at lower OLC contents.
