Abstract

Abstract : According to the experimental researches of dynamic friction polishing (DFP) technology, high density and hardness W–Mo–Cr alloy with strong graphitization ability of diamond can achieve a high material removal rate of diamond. In the preparation process of polishing plate, mechanical alloying (MA) method is used to synthetize pre-alloying powders by means of fierce mechanical action and supersaturated solid state reaction performed by high-energy ball milling. The effect and progress of MA are directly affected by the process parameters of ball milling. This article mainly summarizes the microstructural changes of W–Mo–Cr pre-alloying powders varying with milling time and process control agent (PCA) content, and their function mechanisms and potential causes are discussed. The reasonable process parameters of ball milling are optimized by single-factor experiments. The results show that under the conditions of 300 rpm rotation speed, 60 h milling time, and 10% PCA content, the surface activities, compositional uniformity, and grain refinement level of powders are heightened. The preparation of excellent pre-alloying powders provides early technical guarantee for the study of high density tungsten-based alloy used for DFP diamond.
