Application of ultra-smooth composite diamond film coated WC-Co drawing dies under water-lubricating conditions

超光滑金刚石涂层拉拔模具在水润滑条件下的应用(英文)

A specific revised HFCVD apparatus and a novel process combining HFCVD and polishing technique were presented to deposit the micro-and nano-crystalline multilayered ultra-smooth diamond（USCD） film on the interior-hole surface of WC-Co drawing dies with aperture ranging from d1.0 mm to 60 mm.Characterization results indicate that the surface roughness values（Ra） in the entry zone,drawing zone and bearing zone of as-fabricated USCD coated drawing die were measured as low as 25.7,23.3 and 25.5 nm,respectively.Furthermore,the friction properties of USCD films were examined in both dry sliding and water-lubricating conditions,and the results show that the USCD film presents much superior friction properties.Its friction coefficients against ball-bearing steel,copper and silicon nitride balls（d4 mm）,is always lower than that of microcrystalline diamond（MCD） or WC-Co sample,regardless of the lubricating condition.Meanwhile,it still presents competitive wear resistance with the MCD films.Finally,the working lifetime and performance of as-fabricated USCD coated drawing dies were examined under producing low-carbon steel pipes in dry-sliding and water-lubricating conditions.Under the water-lubricating drawing condition,its production significantly increases by about 20 times compared with the conventional WC-Co drawing dies.

提出微/纳米多层超光滑金刚石复合薄膜的沉积工艺,采用经过改进的热丝CVD沉积装置,能够在孔径d1.0mm～60mm的硬质合金拉拔模具内孔表面沉积具有优异耐磨减摩特性的超光滑金刚石复合涂层。采用表面轮廓仪对超光滑金刚石复合涂层拉拔模具的内孔表面进行检测,结果显示拉拔模具入口区、工作区以及定径带位置的表面粗糙度分别为25.7,23.3和25.5nm。对超光滑金刚石复合涂层的摩擦磨损特性进行考察,结果表明,无论在干摩擦还是水润滑条件下,涂层与轴承钢、铜以及氮化硅陶瓷对摩时的摩擦因数均比常规微米金刚石涂层的低,并且还具有与微米金刚石涂层相当的表面耐磨性。采用制备的超光滑金刚石复合涂层拉拔模具在低碳钢管的拉拔加工过程中实现了基于水润滑的拉拔加工过程,与传统的硬质合金拉拔模具相比,单只超光滑金刚石复合涂层拉拔模具的拉拔产量可提高20倍左右。
