Tungsten Carbide Rock Drill Button Friction Test

Tungsten carbide is the most common material for rock drilling due to its superior combination of toughness and hardness. To elucidate the relationship between the known wear behavior against different rock types and the corresponding sliding friction performance, a tungsten carbide rock drill button friction test series has been performed. A tungsten carbide rock drill button with 94-wt.% WC and 6-wt.% Co was sliding against polished granite, magnetite, hematite, quartzite, mica schist, leptite and sandstone in a pin-on-disc tribometer. The test was performed in 25 °C and 350 °C air and also in 25 °C water. The load was chosen to 20 N (which is considerably lower than required for crushing the rock) and the sliding velocity was 0.26 m/s.

At 25 °C, the tungsten carbide exhibited the highest stable dry friction against mica schist, and the lowest against leptite. At 350 °C, leptite gave the highest friction and hematite the lowest. In water, granite showed the highest friction and quartzite the lowest.

Tungsten Carbide Button Automatic Pressing Mould

During the pressing process, female mould is under high pressure and friction, thus the material required for the pressing mould should be high hardness and wear resistance. So the YG8 tungsten carbide is applied which the hardness is above 89HRA. In order to cut the producing cost, the female mould coat is made of steel.

Tungsten carbide button automatic pressing mould is made through the following step:
1.Select the proper size of YG8 tungsten carbide and drill it with a round hole then put the core rod in it and polishing the outer surface.

2.Turn it to the required size and then quenching and tempering

3.Grind the inner hole of steel jacket and heat it to a certain temperature, then coat it on the tungsten carbide mould very fast.

4.Exact-grinding the surface of steel coat. Take off the core rod. Grind mould chamber to the designed size.

Tungsten Carbide Button Bit Types

Tungsten carbide button bit is also called cemented carbide button bit. It has many advantages like good wearing resistance, high abrasion resistance, high corrosion resistance, high tenacity, high temperature resistance, high hardness and high density. Tungsten carbide button bits applied in rock drills have different shapes: hemispherical button, conical button, parabolic button and wedge button.

With adequate power of hydraulic rock drill, hemispherical button is excellent in energy efficiency and rock fragmentation. Tungsten carbide hemispherical button is of high wear resistance. Conical button is of high drill velocity and easier to drill the rock. But the wear resistance is worse than hemispherical button. The property of parabolic button is between hemispherical button and conical button. Wedge button is used for super tough rocks.

Tungsten Carbide Button Quality Control

Tungsten carbide button quality control can be devided into inner quality control and external quality control. Inner quality control includes ingredient and construction. External quality control includes size and surface roughness.

Tungsten carbide button ingredient and construction are being designed by application requirement. The main ingredients are tungsten and cobalt. Its property is adjusted by the content of cobalt and grain size of tungsten carbide. If the requirement for tungsten carbide button is high toughness and hardness, then the content of cobalt is higher and grain size of tungsten carbide is bigger. If the requirement for tungsten carbide button is high wear resistance, then cobalt content is lower and grain size of tungsten carbide is smaller. After the ingredients of tungsten carbide button is confirmed, the property and life expectancy of tungsten carbide button is determined by its construction. Tungsten carbide button construction includes ingredients of tungsten carbide, cobalt content, grain size of tungsten carbide, thickness of cobalt layer.

Tungsten Tube Conditions(2)

Tungsten tube is one of the processing products of tungsten. Due to its high density, high purity, high temperature resistance, and other excellent performance, Tungsten tube is mainly applied in aviation, aerospace and other fields. In detail, Tungsten tube is mainly used in high temperature furnace as thermocouple protection tube, sapphire crystal furnace, high temperature sintering furnace and other support. Therefore, tungsten tube still has great prospects in China and even in the world.

Market efficiency of tungsten metal tube and other products is still very impressive, such as, high temperature thermocouple tube , the world's annual consumption is not low, so profits is still very substantial. However, China industry and company’s mainly exports is tungsten powder or blanks, tungsten metal products is limited to enter the international market, so profit is not great.

If China industry and company can make full use of manpower and resources, change tungsten metal and alloy products export structure, it can not only save a lot of foreign exchange but can be exported.
