The Phase Composition of Products from Electro-Erosive Cobalto-Chrome Powders, Obtained by Additive Technologies

Abstract

The main requirement for powders for additive 3d technologies is the spherical shape of the particles. Such particles are most compactly packed into a certain volume and ensure the "fluidity" of the powder composition in the supply systems of the material with minimal resistance. The wide use of the EED method for processing metal waste into powders for the purpose of their reuse and application in additive technologies is hampered by the lack in the scientific and technical literature of full-fledged information on the effect of the initial composition, regimes and media on the properties of powders and technologies of practical application. Therefore, in order to develop technologies for the reuse of electroerosive powders and to evaluate the effectiveness of their use, complex theoretical and experimental studies are required. The aim of the work was to conduct a phase analysis of additive products from electroerosive cobalt-chrome powders. The phase composition of the samples was studied by X-ray diffraction on a Rigaku Ultima IV diffractometer in Cu-Kα radiation (wavelength λ = 0.154178 nm) using Soller slits. Based on the results of the X-ray diffraction analysis of additive articles from electroerosion cobalt-chrome powders, it has been experimentally established that the main phases in the sintered samples are Co, Cr and Co3C.
