Abstract
Among powder surfacing materials with high hardness and resistance to abrasive wear, powders based on WC-TiC-Co systems, which are the basis of hard alloys, are among the most promising. (Research purpose) The research purpose is investigating wear-resistant powder materials for plasma-powder surfacing by electrodispersing solid alloy waste of the T30K4 brand in kerosene. (Materials and methods) We chose substandard carbide plates of the T30K4 brand as the starting material; lighting kerosene as the working fluid. We solved the tasks set in the work on the study of the composition, structure and properties of the obtained carbide powders using modern equipment and complementary methods of physical materials science. Electrodispersion of solid alloy waste was carried out on the original installation; the shape and morphology of the particle surface were studied on an electron-ion scanning microscope with field emission of electrons QUANTA 600 FEG; particle size composition ‒ on a laser particle size analyzer Analysette 22 NanoTec; X-ray spectral microanalysis of particles was carried out on an energy dispersive X-ray analyzer of EDAX company, integrated into a scanning electron microscope QUANTA 200 3D; phase analysis of particles was performed on an X-ray diffractometer Rigaku Ultima IV. (Results and discussion) A new technology for producing a carbide electroerosive powder suitable for plasma-powder surfacing has been developed and investigated, the effectiveness of which is confirmed by the properties of the proposed powder material: the spherical shape of powder particles; the average size of powder particles is 58.4 micrometers; powder particles with a uniform distribution of alloying elements: C, Co, Ti and W; powder particles include phases of carbides WC and TiC. (Conclusions) The conducted studies have shown that it is possible to obtain a wear-resistant powder alloy with a uniform distribution of alloying elements by the method of electroerosive dispersion of solid alloy waste of the T30K4 brand.
