Tungsten Carbide Nozzles

We can provide you all kinds of high performance nozzles, such as spray nozzles, oil nozzles, blasting nozzles and so on. With high speed to wash,well wear resistance, excellent corrosion resistance, tungsten carbide nozzles often be used in agricultural irrigation and urban greening. Used in geological prospecting, machinery or tool manufacturing and serves as drill bit in wind drill and electric drills for coal dig. Fit for precision lathe are used in nonstop cutting of die-cast iron.Tungsten carbide PDC drill bit nozzle is mainly used for oil drill bits.

Tungsten carbide spray nozzle compared with metal spray nozzleTungsten carbide spray nozzle is featured by high hardness, high elastic modulus, good hardness and low coefficient of linear expansion, but also with acid, alkali and good oxidation resistance and other characteristics. It occupies an important position in the modern tools and materials. The hardness of tungsten carbide is much higher than the metal material. Tungsten carbide spray nozzle erosion rate is much smaller than the metal material, its anti-erosion performance is much higher than the metal nozzle. Therefore, the amount of wear of the nozzle is much smaller than the metal spray nozzle. The life tungsten carbide spray nozzles longer than 1 000h, while the life of metal spray nozzle is much shorter than tungsten carbide spray nozzle, such as 1Cr18Ni9Ti nozzle life is only about 200h, and 45 steel less than 100h. So, carbide is the preferred material of the spray nozzle.

Carbide production

The productionprocess of powder-metallurgical products basically includes the four steps of powder preparation, forming, sintering andfinishing.

Tungsten carbide production
The APT (ammonium para-tungstate) is calcined into tungsten oxide under high te-mperature. Subsequently the oxide is reduced to tungsten metal in a hydrogen atmosphere. The metal powder is then mixed with carbon and carburised under inert atmosphere at high temperatures. The production parameters are decisive for the WC grain size in the sintered carbide.

Powder preparation
The tungsten carbide is intensely mixed with the binder metal cobalt, nickel or iron, various grain growth inhibitors and materials,which promote compaction, by wet grinding so that a homogeneous suspension is created. Afterwards, the suspension is dried in a spray tower to produce a granulate with good flow characteristics. This granulate represents the basis for all forming processes.

Metal forming
The objective of the forming process is to obtain a near net shape sample. Pressing is normally carried out at room temperature with pressures reaching up to several tons per square centimetre.There are several ways of pressing blanks:During isostatic cold pressing the powder is filled into an elastic flexible hose and pressed into acompacted form through high liquid pressure. The powder blocks which are produced in this way can then be processed mechanically. All common machining methods like milling, cutting, drilling or turning maybe applied.In uniaxial pressing the pressing tool consists of a die and an upper and a lower punch. The carbide powder is filled into the die and then compacted to create the so called green carbide,which is ejected from the pressing die.Extrusion pressing is mainly used to produce rectangular bar
or cylindrical rod, with or without axial hole(s). A plasticiser is added to the powder. The resulting paste is pressed through an extrusion nozzle. Before sintering, the plasticiser must be evaporated in special drying furnaces. Metal Injection Moulding (MIM) is a process used to produce
more complex forms which cannot be produced by direct pressing. The paste preparation is similar to the extrusion process.

Sintering process
The sintering process converts the blank into a homogeneous and dense carbide with a high level of hardness. The material is sintered at temperatures between 1,300 and 1,500 °C (liquid phase sintering) and sometimes also at high pressure (up to 100 bar). The volume is reduced by up to 50 % during this process.

Finishing
In order to achieve the final requirements of surface finish, tolerances,etc. carbide parts can be subjected to a series of finishing processes such as grinding, spark erosion and coating.
