Abstract
Abstract A super hard metal roll assembly and a process for producing it are disclosed. Initially, a powdered mix of super hard metal materials is moulded into a hollow cylindrical moulding. The moulding is then fitted about a super hard metal cylindrical element such as roll, cylinder, pillar or shaft, and sintered to contract to a bushing tightly engaging the outer periphery of the cylindrical element to produce a super hard metal roll assembly. The roll assembly may be further treated in a high temperature and high pressure inert gas in order to eliminate voids at the interface between the bushing and the cylindrical element.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
142 words
A process of producing a cemented carbide roll assembly comprising: moulding a powdered mix of cemented carbide-forming materials into a hollow cylindrical moulding, placing the hollow cylindrical moulding concentrically about a cylindrical cemented carbide element in a manner such as to provide a space between the inner periphery of the hollow cylindrical moulding and the outer periphery of the cylindrical cemented carbide element, sintering the resultant assembly at a temperature from 1,250° to 1,500° C., thereby contracting the hollow cylindrical moulding and generating a liquid phase to effect integral engagement between the hollow cylindrical moulding and the cylindrical cemented carbide element, and heat-treating the resultant roll assembly in an inert gas at a temperature from 1,200° to 1,500° C. under a pressure of 20 to 2,000 atm so as to eliminate voids between the sintered moulding and the cylindrical cemented carbide element.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
142 words
A process of producing a cemented carbide roll assembly comprising: moulding a powdered mix of cemented carbide-forming materials into a hollow cylindrical moulding, placing the hollow cylindrical moulding concentrically about a cylindrical cemented carbide element in a manner such as to provide a space between the inner periphery of the hollow cylindrical moulding and the outer periphery of the cylindrical cemented carbide element, sintering the resultant assembly at a temperature from 1,250° to 1,500° C., thereby contracting the hollow cylindrical moulding and generating a liquid phase to effect integral engagement between the hollow cylindrical moulding and the cylindrical cemented carbide element, and heat-treating the resultant roll assembly in an inert gas at a temperature from 1,200° to 1,500° C. under a pressure of 20 to 2,000 atm so as to eliminate voids between the sintered moulding and the cylindrical cemented carbide element.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the hollow cylindrical moulding is pre-sintered before being placed about the cylindrical cemented carbide element.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
A process as claimed in claim 2, wherein pre-sintering is carried out at a temperature from 200° to 1,000° C.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
24 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the moulding step is carried out under a pressure of 10 to 10,000 kg/cm 2 .
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
76 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the powdered mix of cemented carbide-forming materials consists of 50 to 99.9% by weight of at least one member selected from the group consisting of tungsten carbide, titanium carbide, tantalum carbide, niobium carbide, molybdenum carbide, chromium carbide, hafnium carbide and vanadium carbide, the remainder of said powdered mix being at least one binder metal selected from the group consisting of iron, nickel, cobalt, chromium, copper, silver and gold.
