Tóm tắt

The precursor with TiC0.7N0.3@WO3-MO3 microspheres were prepared by a novel method from the WO3-MoO3 sol dipping. Subsequently, TiC0.7N0.3@WC-MoC2 core-shell structural microspheres were successfully obtained by carburizing the precursor at 900 °C in a flowing mixture of CH4 (20 ml · min−1) and H2 (200 ml · min−1) for 2 h. Then TiC0.7N0.3@WC-MoC2-15Co cermets were prepared utilizing the core-shell powders by spark plasma sintering (SPS). Powders of the precursors with TiC0.7N0.3@WO3-MO3 microspheres, TiC0.7N0.3@WC-MoC2 microspheres and TiC0.7N0.3@WC-MoC2-15Co cermets were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The obtained TiC0.7N0.3@WC-MoC2 microspheres have a dense WC-MoC2 coatings shell. The thickness of the shell could be easily controlled by adjusting the number of sol dipping cycles. It was found that the TiC0.7N0.3@WC-MoC2 microspheres were more beneficial to fabricate the “core-rim” structures by SPS.
