The invention discloses a heat treatment process of a
carbide alloy for cold heading dies, which comprises the following steps: (1) putting the sintered
carbide alloy for cold heading dies into a heating chamber of a double-chamber
vacuum furnace, and vacuumizing the heating chamber until the pressure of the heating chamber is (2*10-1)-(4*10-1) Pa; (2) heating the heating chamber in two stages, in the first phase, heating the heating chamber to 900 DEG C at a speed of 5-8 DEG C / min, and then carrying out heat preservation for 30-45 minutes, and in the second stage, heating the heating chamber to 1100-1300 DEG C at a speed of 8-10 DEG C / min. and then carrying out heat preservation 30-40 minutes; (3) filling high-purity
nitrogen gas as
shielding gas in the furnace, under the condition that the vacuum degree is 0.5-0.8 bar, completely soaking a heated product into a cold-chamber oil-
quenching bath for 4-6 minutes, then ascending and separating the obtained product, and cooling the obtained product to below 60 DEG C; and (4) putting the obtained product into a vacuum
tempering furnace to carry out
tempering treatment for 5-6 hours at a
tempering temperature of 450-600 DEG C, carrying out furnace cooling on the obtained product until the obtained product is at
room temperature, and taking out the obtained product. According to the invention, the content of a face-centred cubic structure alpha-Co in the
alloy is increased, the
toughness and the strength are improved, the comprehensive mechanical properties are good, phenomena such as
fatigue cracking, breakage and early wear in the process of application are reduced, and the purposes of prolonging the service life, reducing the application cost and increasing the application efficiency are achieved.
