The article describes the structure and physical and mechanical properties of dispersion-strengthened composite materials of Cu-Al-Ti-Sn-C-O system developed as a binder for making diamond tools for grinding composite materials and, in particular, hard alloys. It is shown that the materials under analysis have high thermal conductivity and recrystallization temperature values and are not inferior by mechanical properties to Cu-Sn system binders and, in particular, Cu-20 Sn binder widely used in the industry.
The results of studying the structure and properties of dispersion-strengthened composite materials of the Cu-Ti-C-O system obtained by reactionary grinding of copper powder with additions of titanium powder (0...5 wt%) and carbon in the form of graphite (0...1 wt%) in a high-energy ball mill of the attritor type in the presence of air. The regularities of the influence of titanium and graphite content on the hardness and electrical conductivity of the materials under study have been studied. It is shown that with an increase in the titanium content, the hardness increases and the electrical conductivity decreases. The hardness and electrical conductivity of materials under study dependences on the graphite content have the form of curves with maxima, which are observed at different values of the carbon content depending on the titanium content. By the method of X-ray phase analysis of the anode deposit of materials under study, it was found that the main strengthening phases are dispersion particles of titanium carbide. The composite materials under study of the Cu-Ti-C-O system, due to the combination of high electrical conductivity, hardness and recrystallization temperature, can be an alternative for replacing beryllium bronze in many fields.
To describe a surface morphology of textured polymer coatings, the model of polymer chains attached to spherical granules was developed. By means of the model, we revealed the influence of coating density on its surface morphology. Diffuse reflection coefficient was calculated for polymer coatings with different morphologies.
The article deals with long-length tubular electrode-tools made of the engineered composite [(WC+3wt%Co)+3wt%BN)]+14wt%Cu, which, during electrical discharge piercing of holes in a hard alloy WC+6wt%Co (ISO 513:2012) in the optimal mode, have a productivity that is almost 8 times higher than the productivity of the process, when it is performed using copper electrode-tools. Therewith, electrical discharge wear of the electrode-tools made of the new material is 4.1 ... 4.5 times less than the wear of the copper electrode-tools. To obtain hollow electrodetools from the specified material, the powder composition was radially molded by the pressure of a impulsed magnet field, and the resulting porous blank was impregnated with copper during its further sintering.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
