TiC钢结硬质合金/钢复合材料的制备与摩擦性能研究

Preparation and Tribological Properties of TiC Steel-Bonded Cemented Carbide/Steel Composite Materials

  • 摘要: 本研究针对轨道停车防溜器对于高摩擦系数钢材料的需求,提出基于TiC钢结硬质合金的钢轨复合强化方案。采用粉末冶金-浇铸耦合工艺制备TiC钢结硬质合金/钢复合材料,系统研究其组织演化与摩擦学特性。实验表明,粉末冶金方法制备除了TiC在基体中均匀分布且结合良好的钢结硬质合金,同时浇铸之后在TiC钢结硬质合金与钢基体形成良好冶金结合,显微硬度从钢基体区域的400 Hv上升到硬质合金区域约1100 Hv。摩擦性能测试显示,复合材料瞬时摩擦系数高于纯钢轨材料,达到0.5-0.6,磨损表面损伤轻微,磨屑呈细小颗粒状,耐磨性得到明显提升。这是由于当周围低强度钢基体软化后,硬质合金区域颗粒凸起形成的机械屏障可有效承担摩擦应力,从而实现了摩擦性能的提升。

     

    Abstract: This study addresses the demand for high-friction-coefficient steel materials in railway parking anti-runaway devices and proposes a rail composite strengthening strategy based on TiC steel-bonded cemented carbide. TiC steel-bonded cemented carbide/steel composites were fabricated by a powder metallurgy–casting coupling process, and their microstructural evolution and tribological properties were systematically investigated. The results show that the powder metallurgy method produced steel-bonded cemented carbide with uniformly distributed TiC and good interfacial bonding. After casting, a sound metallurgical bond formed between the TiC steel-bonded cemented carbide and the steel matrix, and the microhardness increased from approximately 306±18 Hv in the steel matrix region to about 943±40 HV in the cemented carbide region. Tribological tests showed that the instantaneous friction coefficient of the composite was higher than that of the pure rail steel, reaching 0.5–0.6, with only slight damage on the worn surface and fine particulate wear debris. This improvement is attributed to the mechanical barrier formed by the protruding particles in the cemented carbide region after the surrounding low-strength steel matrix softens; this barrier effectively bears the frictional stress, thereby enhancing the tribological performance.
