摘要:
A synthetic gasket material for use in a high-pressure press includes a major proportion of clay mineral powder having sufficient lubricity to flow in a high-pressure press, a minor proportion of at least one hard material powder having a sufficiently greater hardness than the clay mineral to retard flow of the clay mineral and form a seal during pressing in a high-pressure press, and a sufficient amount of binder to form an integral body. The synthetic gasket material is formed by thoroughly mixing together in desired proportions the clay mineral, hard material, and binder. The mixture is compacted into a body near net geometry and having a desired configuration to facilitate use in the high-pressure press. The compacted body is heated for a sufficient time and at a sufficient temperature to remove non-crystallographic water. A synthetic gasket material prepared according to principles of this invention displays improved flow, pressure transmitting, and thermal insulating properties when compared with gasket material made from natural pyrophyllite, due to the improved compositional consistency, i.e., lack of impurities and consistently low moisture content, of the synthetic gasket material.
摘要:
A polycrystalline cubic boron nitride cutting tool is from 50 to 85% by weight cubic boron nitride crystals bonded together as a polycrystalline mass. A supporting phase commingled with the polycrystalline cubic boron nitride is made from 15 to 40% by weight of a refractory material which is preferably titanium carbonitride or titanium aluminum carbonitride. The starting composition also comprises from 4 to 10% by weight of Co.sub.2 Al.sub.9. Mixed powders of these ingredients are treated in ammonia at a temperature in the range of from 1000.degree. to 1250.degree. C., which significantly increases the nitrogen content and reduces carbon content of titanium carbonitride. Instead of mixed powders of the starting materials, coated particles may be used such as cubic boron nitride coated with titanium carbonitride, or titanium carbonitride coated with cobalt, aluminum or cobalt aluminide. Hexagonal boron nitride may be substituted as a starting material for a portion of the cubic boron nitride.

摘要:
A sintered polycrystalline compact of cubic boron nitride is made by forming a mixture of about 45 to 65 percent by weight cubic boron nitride (cBN), from about 30 to 45 percent by weight hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), and from about 2 to 7 percent by weight an aluminum containing material, preferably aluminum nitride, and cobalt aluminide having a melting temperature lower than the melting temperature of cobalt phase. The mixture of cBN crystals, hBN and adjuvant materials is compacted into preforms and subjected to heat treatment in a non-oxidizing atmosphere. The preforms are placed onto a cemented tungsten carbide substrate containing cobalt and subjected to elevated pressure and temperature conditions at which the boron nitride is thermodynamically stable. The elevated pressure and temperature conditions are maintained for a time sufficient to permit the infiltration of a cobalt phase into the cBN matrix and sinter the compact. Typically, the cobalt phase is infiltrated from a tungsten carbide substrate cemented with cobalt phase. The compact is characterized by substantial intercrystalline cBN to cBN bonding, and has superior abrasive wear resistance, chemical resistance, impact resistance, thermal conductivity and stability. Further, the technique produces a sintered cBN compact that can be machined more efficiently by EDM.

摘要:
A sintered polycrystalline compact of cubic boron nitride is made by first forming a mixture of about 30 to 60 percent by weight cubic boron nitride, up to about 50 percent by weight hexagonal boron nitride, and from about 2 to 7 percent by weight adjuvant materials, or sintering aids, comprising an aluminum containing material selected from the group consisting of aluminum, aluminum nitride, or aluminum diboride, and up to 50 percent by weight of nitride, carbide, or carbonitride binder material containing a group IVb, Vb, or VIb transition metal. The mixture of cBN crystals, hBN and other materials is compacted into a preform and subjected to heat treatment in a non-oxidizing atmosphere. The preform is placed onto a cemented tungsten-carbide/cobalt substrate and subjected to elevated pressure and temperature conditions at which cubic boron nitride is thermodynamically stable. The elevated pressure and temperature conditions are maintained for a time sufficient to permit the infiltration of the cobalt into the cBN matrix and sinter the compact. The compact is characterized by substantial intergranular cBN to cBN bonding, and has superior abrasive wear stability, chemical resistance, impact resistance and thermal conductivity.

In addition to CBN, the tool has from 2%-15% by weight of a refractory compound selected from the group consisting of titanium carbonitride, titanium aluminum carbonitride, titanium carbide, titanium nitride, titanium diboride and aluminum diboride. When using one of the carbonitrides, the carbon to nitrogen proportion is preferably in the range of from 30 atomic percent carbon and 70 atomic percent carbon to 70 atomic percent carbon and 30 atomic percent nitrogen, and preferably is about 50/50. In addition, there is an infiltrate containing aluminum and/or silicon. A quantity of diamond crystals more than stoichiometric with the amount of silicon infiltrated is included in the composition for forming silicon carbide. The cutting tool is not formed on a cemented tungsten carbide substrate so is substantially free of cobalt.
