The invention discloses a
sintering method of low-Co WC. The
sintering method comprises steps as follows: step 1, nano-WC
powder, TiB2 and Co
powder are subjected to
ball mill mixing uniformly and are dried, mixed
powder is obtained, wherein the content of TiB2 is 0.1w%-0.7w%, and the content of Co powder is 0.2w%-0.8w%; step 2, the mixed powder is put in a
graphite die and compacted, then the mixed powder and the die are both put between an upper
electrode and a lower
electrode of an SPS (
spark plasma sintering) device, subjected to
vacuum pumping, powered-on, heated at a speed of 200 DEG C / min and pressurized, a product is subjected to heat preservation for 5-10 min after
sintering temperature reaches 1,500-1,700 DEG C and
axial pressure reaches 50 MPa, and a sample is taken out after power-off cooling; step 3, the product out of the furnace is polished and cleaned, and a finished product is obtained. Co is added during sintering of WC, so that
fracture toughness of a hard
alloy can be enhanced; then TiB2 is added, the
hardness of the hard
alloy is not affected by Co by the aid of the characteristic of high
hardness of TiB2, and TiB2 can also change electrical
conductivity of the powder and change sintering performance; under the
synergy with the SPS technology, the sintering effect is better, crystalline grains cannot grow up, and the density and the
hardness are higher.
