1.Raw Material Inspection & Powder Mixing: Adopt high‑purity tungsten carbide powder and cobalt powder for YG8 alloy formula. Strictly inspect powder granularity, purity and component proportion to meet alloy material standards. Carry out accurate batching, ball milling and uniform mixing for raw powder, guarantee consistent material composition, which lays a reliable foundation for subsequent pressing and sintering.
2.Pressing & Forming:
Fill well‑mixed alloy powder into professional moulds according to drill rod dimensional requirements. Implement isostatic pressing or die pressing process to obtain preliminary green body of drill rod or drill pipe. Control pressing pressure and forming density, avoid cracks, delamination and uneven density inside green blanks, ensure the outline and basic dimension conform to drawing specifications.
3.High‑Temperature Sintering:
Place qualified green bodies into high‑temperature sintering furnace under protective atmosphere. Complete liquid‑phase sintering under strict temperature curve. Promote powder metallurgical bonding to form dense YG8 tungsten‑cobalt alloy matrix. Stabilize internal metallographic structure, realize high hardness, impact toughness and wear‑resistant mechanical properties of carbide blanks.
4.Precision Machining & Finishing:
Perform follow‑up precision machining for sintered alloy blanks, including outer circle grinding, inner hole processing, end‑face finishing and thread machining. Strictly control straightness, roundness, inner‑outer diameter tolerance and assembly matching size. Remove surface processing marks to achieve high‑precision dimension required for drilling machine assembly.
5.Dimensional & Performance Inspection:
Carry out full‑item inspection on finished drill rods and drill pipes. Detect key dimensions, surface quality, internal defect by nondestructive testing. Test hardness, wear resistance and impact‑resistance performance by sampling. Eliminate workpieces with cracks, dimensional out‑of‑tolerance and unqualified mechanical properties.
6.Cleaning, Anti‑rust Treatment & Packaging:
Clean and dry qualified YG8 alloy drill rod products. Apply anti‑rust protective treatment on machined surfaces. Classify products by specification and model, pack with shock‑proof and moisture‑proof packaging materials. Attach specification, batch number and inspection mark for storage and transportation of finished goods.
