Abstract
Introduction. One of the methods for improving the properties of sintered materials is mechanical activation of powders. It ensures milling the powders, changing its energy state, intensifying the sintering of powder materials, and forming a fine-grained structure in it. When tungsten powders are mechanically activated in planetary centrifugal mills, nanoparticles can be formed, which have a high reactive power. The objective of the paper is to study the effect of mechanical activation of tungsten particles on the structure and properties of the sintered Sn-Cu-Co-W powder material. Research technique: Mechanical activation of W16,5 grade tungsten powder is carried out in a planetary centrifugal ball mill AGO-2U for 5…120 minutes with carrier speeds of 400…1,000 rpm. The mixture of tungsten, tin, copper, and cobalt powders are compacted by static pressing in molds and then sintered in vacuum at 820 °C. The morphology and size of powder particles, as well as the structure of the sintered samples, are studied by scanning electronic microscopy, X-ray microanalysis, and optical metallography. Porosity of the sintered samples is identified by the gravimetric method. Microhardness of the structural constituents and macrohardness of the sintered materials are measured, too. Results: in the modes under study, mechanical activation is accompanied by the formation of tungsten nanoparticles with the minimum size of 25 nm. Alongside this, the powder is exposed to cold working, which hinders further milling. Tungsten nanoparticles, characterized by high surface energy, have a significant effect on the dissolution-precipitation of cobalt during liquid-phase sintering of Sn-Cu-Co-W powder material. Addition of nanodispersed tungsten into the material slows down the growth of cobalt particles during sintering and contributes to the formation of a fine-grained structure. The sintered Sn-Cu-Co-W material, containing mechanically activated tungsten, features higher hardness of 105…107 HRB, which is explained by cold working of tungsten particles and dispersion hardening. The results can be applied for improving mechanical properties of Sn-Cu-Co-W alloys used as metallic binders in diamond abrasive tools.
