Structural transformations in boron carboxynitride during synthesis and sintering at high pressure and high temperature (pp. 3-14)

The results of an electron microscopic study of the structure formation of boron carboxynitride (BNCO) during its synthesis based on the starting boron oxide and melamine in the form of a powder and a coating on single-crystal diamond particles are presented. Structural studies were carried out using transmission electron microscopy methods, including high resolution in combination with elemental microanalysis. It was established that during the synthesis of a single-phase powder in the interval T = 700–1200 °C, the main component is turbostratic BNCO of varying degrees of ordering. At a temperature of 1200 °C, the formation of an ordered shape occurs with the formation of inclusions in the particles with sizes up to 100 nm in the form of nanotubes, onions and prisms. BNCO deposition on diamond particles is monolithic and has continuous interfaces with diamond. During sintering (p = 7.7 GPa, T = 1700 °C) of single-phase BNCO and in the composition with diamond (both coated particles and in the form of powder), the formation of a sphalerite phase with a graphite-like residue occurs. Only in the case of using diamond powders with a grain size of 0.1/0, the sphalerite phase is the main component in the sintered samples.

Keywords: boron carboxynitride, powder, diamond, particle, turbostratic, sintering.

Phase formation and physical and mechanical properties of Fe‒Cu–Ni‒Sn–VN composites sintered by vacuum hot pressing for diamond stone-cutting tools (pp. 15-27)

The effect of the concentration of vanadium nitride additive (in the range from 0 to 10% (by weight)) on the phase formation, hardness and fracture toughness of composite diamond-containing materials based on 51Fe–32Cu–9Ni–8Sn matrix formed by cold pressing followed by vacuum hot pressing was investigated. It was found that the addition of 10% vanadium nitride to the 51Fe–32Cu–9Ni–8Sn composite is accompanied by an increase in hardness from 3.86 to 8.58 GPa with a slight decrease in fracture toughness from 5.55 to 4.76 MPa∙m1/2. The dependence of hardness on the concentration of vanadium nitride H (CVN) has two characteristic regions that differ in the angle of inclination. In the range 0 < CVN < 4%, the hardness increases slightly (from 3.86 to 5.26 GPa), and for CVN > 4%, the hardness increases significantly and the grain size decreases. It is shown that the mentioned indicators change due to the dispersion mechanism of strengthening and modification of the structure (reduction of the average size of matrix phases, formation of new phases (Fe3Ni)0.5, Cu3Fe17, isolation of primary and secondary phases of vanadium nitride) and the phase composition of composites.

Keywords: composite, iron, copper, nickel, tin, vanadium nitride, composition, concentration, vacuum hot pressing, structure, hardness, fracture toughness.

Study of the regularities of formation and structure formation of compacted and multicomponent silicide composites (pp. 35-52)

Technologies for obtaining carbide and multielement powders from scrap hard alloys and tungsten anhydride in laboratory conditions for further use in forming eutectic coatings. The temperature-time parameters of the process of obtaining powders of the required chemical composition were determined. It was established that in the case of introducing boron and silicon additives into these powders in quantities corresponding to the eutectic compositions, it is possible to obtain compositions with a melting point regulated in the range of 1000–1200 °C. Slip mixtures were produced based on powders of the Ni–Si–B and Ni–Cr–Si–B compositions with reinforcing additives of industrial and laboratory-synthesized refractory silicides and carbides. Eutectic coatings with a microhardness of the solid component of 18–26 GPa and a plastic matrix of 11–15 GPa were obtained by melting slip mixtures on steel and molybdenum substrates. Comparison of structural characteristics and properties of coatings showed that high-speed formation of coatings by fusion allows to obtain a protective layer of the required thickness and prevents excessive embrittlement of the base due to the formation of boride phases. It was established that molybdenum disilicide additives in an amount of up to 50% (by weight) increase the uniformity of the coating without reducing its hardness. The coating is characterized by high corrosion resistance to temperatures of ~ 1000 °C.

Keywords: silicide composites, consolidation, thermal conductivity, multi-element powders, reinforcing additives, slip mixtures, eutectic coatings.

Coating on the surface of diamond particles by thermal explosion reaction method (pp. 53-60)

Using a Mn–Al–B mixture as a raw material, a multi-element composite coating based on Mn2AlB2 was obtained by thermal explosion synthesis technology on the surface of diamond. The effect of different Al contents on the phase composition and microstructure of the bond and the coating was studied. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive spectroscopy were used to analyze the phase composition and morphology of the samples obtained by thermal explosion. It was shown that the Mn–Al–B–diamond compacts as a result of the reaction during thermal explosion are transformed into porous loose blocks. The bonds obtained after separation mainly consisted of Mn2AlB2. Other by-products, such as Al, MnB, MnB2, Al78Mn23, Al8Mn5, and Mn2AlC, were also obtained. The coating covers the diamond surface well, and its structure consisted of nano- and micrograins.

Keywords: coating, diamond, thermal explosion reaction.

Technological principles of plasma nanostructuring of tool composites for tools with a complex surface shape (pp. 61-72)

Based on studies of the structure and properties of tool steels (P6M5, Kh12M) and hard alloy VK8 on the example of thread-forming tools (cutters, combs, rollers), the possibilities of obtaining a nanocrystalline structure of the modified zone during surface treatment with a highly concentrated plasma jet were established. The formation of nanodispersed particles of martensite (in steels) and carbides (in steels and hard alloys) is due to an increase in the cooling rate and the implementation of the “barrier” effect during dispersion hardening under conditions of rapid crystallization (processing with micro-melting) or rapid quenching (processing without melting). The effect of plasma treatment on the cutting surface of grinding wheels with NTM on metal bonds was studied. A change in the elemental composition of the surface, the presence of a film oxygen-containing coating on the bond and NTM grains, and a change in the hardness of the bond surface were shown.

Keywords: plasma surface modification, tool steel, hard alloy, NTM wheels, complex-shaped surface.

Evaluation of diamond-coated tools in drilling high-strength carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) (pp. 85-96)

High-strength carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) are advanced superhard structural materials that are widely used in modern aerospace industry, but they are difficult to machine. This paper aims to study the effectiveness of special diamond-coated tools on the machining properties of high-strength CFRP composites. The investigated CFRP sample was a multi-directional polymer-based composite laminate made of T700 high-strength carbon fibers and FRD-YZR-03 epoxy resin. The effectiveness of diamond tools in cutting high-strength CFRP was thoroughly studied in terms of workpiece reaction, surface defect status and quality status of the cut product. The results show that the tool geometry significantly affects the cutting behavior of the composite, and the stepped drill outperforms the candlestick tool due to the stepped geometry, which minimizes the hard contact interaction with the solid CFRP composite workpiece during the chip separation process. The CFRP composite is likely to cause serious surface defects due to its extremely high strength and modulus despite the use of diamond-coated tools. Moreover, a well-designed geometric modification of the diamond tool can significantly improve the surface quality of the composite product.

Keywords: high-strength composites, diamond-coated tools, machinability, delamination damage.
