Abstract

A method for preparing a shell-bionic ceramic tool and a shell-bionic ceramic tool, wherein the shell-bionic ceramic tool includes alternating stacks of ceramic powders with different components, pressing a ceramic green body using a cold briquetting method, carrying out pre-pressing once using a graphite indenter on a working surface thereof after each layer of the ceramic powder being loaded, and pressing a last layer using a graphite rod, and then pressing a whole ceramic green body with a certain pressure to promote a bonding of the layers of ceramic powder, which in turn gives a complex shape to an interface between the layers, increases a bonding area between the layers, and plays the role of hindering crack expansion, extending the crack expansion path, and improving the bonding strength of the interface; after then, hot-pressed sintering is used to densify the ceramic green body to obtain the shell-bionic ceramic tool.

First claim

What is claimed is:

A method for preparing a shell-bionic ceramic tool, the shell-bionic ceramic tool comprises alternating layers of ceramic powder with different components, the method further comprising: performing a cold briquetting, during said cold briquetting, carrying out pre-pressing once using a graphite indenter with a spiral linear bulge or multiple concentric circular bulges on a working surface thereof after each layer of the ceramic powder being loaded, and pressing a last layer using a graphite rod, and then pressing a whole ceramic green body with a certain pressure to promote a bonding of the layers of ceramic powder, which in turn gives a complex shape to an interface between the layer;
wherein, the ceramic powders with different components are as follows:

the ceramic powder of a matrix layer of the layers comprising a composite powder composed of submicron Al 2 O 3 , (W, Ti) C, MgO, and Y 2 O 3 , and the ceramic powder of an interlayer of the layers comprising a composite powder composed of submicron Al 2 O 3 , TiC, Ni, Mo, MgO, and Y 2 O 3 .

2. The method for preparing the shell-bionic ceramic tool according to claim 1 , wherein a method for preparing the ceramic powder of the matrix layer is as follows:
carrying out a high-speed ball-milling on the composite powder of the submicron Al 2 O 3 , (W, Ti) C, MgO, and Y 2 O 3 after being weighed with anhydrous ethanol as a dispersion medium, to make the composite powder be mixed uniformly; placing the composite powder of the submicron Al 2 O 3 , (W, Ti) C, MgO, and Y 2 O 3 after the ball-milling in a vacuum drying oven for drying, and after the drying, sieving and packaging the dried composite powder for future use.

3. The method for preparing the shell-bionic ceramic tool according to claim 1 , wherein a method for preparing the ceramic powder of the interlayer is as follows:
carrying out a high-speed ball-milling on the composite powder of the submicron Al 2 O 3 , TiC, Ni, Mo, MgO, and Y 2 O 3 after being weighed with anhydrous ethanol as a dispersion medium, to make the composite powder be mixed uniformly; placing the composite powder after the ball-milling in a vacuum drying oven for drying, and after the drying, sieving and packaging the dried composite powder for future use.

4. The method for preparing the shell-bionic ceramic tool according to claim 1 , wherein a process of the cold briquetting is as follows:
weighting and loading a prepared ceramic powder of a matrix layer of the layers into a graphite sleeve with a lower part thereof closed by a graphite bedding block, then performing the pre-pressing of the ceramic powder of the interlayer using the graphite indenter with the spiral linear bulge or multiple concentric circular bulges on the working surface thereof, then performing the loading of a prepared ceramic powder of an interlayer of the layers into the graphite sleeve, and then performing the pre-pressing of the ceramic powder of the interlayer using the graphite indenter with the spiral linear bulge or multiple concentric circular bulges on the working surface thereof, laying the ceramic powders of the matrix layer and the interlayer alternately in turn, and carrying out the pre-pressing using the graphite indenter with the spiral linear bulge or multiple concentric circular bulges on the working surface thereof after the loading of each of matrix layers and interlayers laid alternatively, and performing the pressing of the last layer using the graphite rod, and then the pressing of the ceramic green body in a whole with the certain pressure to promote the bonding of the layers of the ceramic powder, which in turn gives the complex shape to the interface between the layers.

5. The method for preparing the shell-bionic ceramic tool according to claim 4 , wherein after the cold briquetting is completed, removing the graphite rod, and inserting another graphite bedding block on a top of the ceramic green body and compacting, and then sealing the graphite sleeve with the graphite rod and placing the whole in a hot-pressed sintering furnace for sintering and densification; after the sintering is completed and being cooled to room temperature, taking out a sample obtained after the sintering, carrying out processes comprising grinding, polishing and cutting on the sample to complete the preparation of the shell-bionic ceramic tool.

6. The method for preparing the shell-bionic ceramic tool according to claim 1 , wherein, when making one ceramic tool, different layers of the ceramic powder layers may be compacted with graphite indenters with different working surfaces.
