Detailed Description
The present invention is further illustrated by the following embodiments, which are to be understood as merely illustrative of the invention and not limiting thereof.
The following illustrates a preparation method of the magnesia-alumina spinel transparent ceramic provided by the invention, which mainly comprises the following steps: preparing raw material powder, forming and sintering densification.
(1) And (3) preparing raw material powder. Ball-milling and mixing the Xiang Mei aluminum spinel powder and the sintering aid uniformly to obtain ceramic slurry, wherein the grinding balls can be alumina balls, the dispersion medium can be absolute ethyl alcohol, and the mass ratio of the balls can be 5:1, a step of; and drying, sieving and calcining the ceramic slurry to obtain raw material powder.
In some embodiments, the sintering aid may be at least one of a fluoride or oxyfluoride containing Y, la, lu, preferably YF 3 Or YOF. The total addition amount of the sintering aid may be 0.005wt.% to 0.08wt.%, preferably 0.005wt.% to 0.05wt.% based on the mass of Xiang Mei aluminum spinel powder; when the sintering aid is YF 3 When the amount added is more preferably 0.005wt.% to 0.02wt.%; when the sintering aid is YOF, the addition amount is more excellentSelected to be 0.005wt.% to 0.02wt.%. The addition amount of the sintering aid is too low, so that the densification rate of the material in the subsequent sintering process is reduced, the elimination of air holes is not facilitated, and the transmittance of the prepared ceramic sample is reduced or even is not transparent; the addition of the sintering aid is too high, which is prone to precipitation of a second phase during sintering and also affects the optical properties of the transparent ceramic sample.
The purity of the Xiang Mei aluminum spinel powder is more than or equal to 99.9%, and the primary particle size is 20 nm-200 nm; the purity of the sintering auxiliary powder is more than or equal to 99.9%, and the primary particle size is 20 nm-3000 nm. The smaller the particle size of the powder, the higher the sintering activity, but the too low particle size is easy to agglomerate, which is not beneficial to the removal of gas in the sintering process, and the residual air holes can influence the transmittance of the ceramic material sample; if the particle size is too large, the sintering activity is reduced, and the preparation difficulty is high.
YOF, YF employed in the present invention 3 The sintering aid can form pinning effect at the grain boundary, inhibit grain growth and accelerate the elimination of air holes. Under the sintering condition, the fluoride or oxyfluoride sintering auxiliary agent can promote sintering densification in a liquid-phase sintering promotion mode, and the elimination of air holes is accelerated.
The ball milling process can be as follows: ball milling for 3-12 hours at the rotating speed of 250 rpm; the drying conditions may be: drying at 50-80 deg.c for 12-48 hr; the screen mesh used for sieving can be 80-200 mesh. The organic impurities introduced during the ball milling and sieving process are removed by the calcination, and the calcination process can be as follows: preserving the heat in a muffle furnace for 4 to 12 hours at the temperature of 500 to 900 ℃.
(2) And (5) molding. And (3) pressing and forming the raw material powder prepared in the step (1) to obtain a ceramic biscuit.
The forming method can be dry press forming or/and cold isostatic pressing, and is preferably dry press forming and then cold isostatic pressing. Specifically, the calcined raw material powder is put into a mold, and the dry-press molding process conditions can be as follows: using pressure of 5-30 MPa, and keeping the pressure for 1-3 minutes; the process conditions of cold isostatic pressing may be: the pressure of 150-250 MPa is used, and the pressure is kept for 3-20 minutes.
(3) And (5) sintering densification. Calcining the biscuit molded in the step (2) in sequence, and presintering the biscuit under no pressure to obtain a presintered body, so that open pores of the biscuit are closed; and (3) after sintering the presintered body by hot isostatic pressing, polishing the two sides of the presintered body to obtain the magnesia-alumina spinel transparent ceramic.
Organic impurities introduced during the molding process can be removed by biscuit calcination. In some embodiments, the temperature of the biscuit calcination may be 600 ℃ to 900 ℃ and the calcination time may be 4 to 10 hours; the pressureless presintering temperature can be 1300-1600 ℃, the pressureless presintering time can be 1-10 hours, and the used atmosphere can be air atmosphere or vacuum.
After the biscuit is calcined and pressureless presintering treatment, a presintered body with 90-99% relative density and closed open pores can be obtained. Subsequent HIP sintering generally does not eliminate open pores in large amounts, but residual pores can severely affect the transmittance of the transparent ceramic sample. Therefore, reasonable control of the presintering conditions can ensure that ceramic samples with good transmittance are obtained in the subsequent hot isostatic pressing sintering process.
The principle of removing residual air holes by combining the hot isostatic pressing sintering is known that for a sample presintered at a low temperature (low relative density), the air holes in the presintered body are mainly positioned at crystal boundaries and have a small content, and are easy to remove in the hot isostatic pressing sintering process. However, when the burn-in temperature is relatively high (high relative density), part of the pores in the burn-in body will enter the inside of the crystal grains to form intra-crystal pores, and the content of the pores is relatively high, and such pores often need to be sintered by high-temperature and high-pressure hot isostatic pressing to provide enough energy to remove the pores, and the removal effect is poor. In addition, high temperature pre-sintering (which results in high relative density) tends to cause the growth of pores inside the sample, forming large pores with high coordination number, thereby impeding the later densification process. Therefore, the transmittance of the ceramic material sample obtained after the high temperature pre-sintered sample (high relative density) is generally low. The technical scheme provided by the invention realizes successful preparation of the ceramic material with higher optical quality by reasonably controlling the presintering system and selecting proper relative density.
In some embodiments, the hot isostatic pressing sintering temperature may be 1400-1900 ℃ and the sintering time may be 1-6 hours; the sintering pressure can be 100-250 MPa; the atmosphere used may be an inert gas, preferably nitrogen or/and argon. The sintering temperature of the hot isostatic pressing is too low, which is not beneficial to the removal of residual air holes, influences the transmittance of a sample, and the ceramic sample cannot be transparent; the sintering temperature of the hot isostatic pressing is too high, and the sintering aid is easy to precipitate in the form of a second phase, so that the transmittance of the ceramic sample is affected.
The hot isostatic pressing sintering can eliminate residual pores in the ceramic and heal defects, but the ceramic before treatment does not contain open pores basically, so that the green body after the pressureless presintering treatment needs to reach 90-99% of relative density.
The invention takes high-purity commercial magnesia-alumina spinel nano powder as a raw material, promotes densification and air hole removal by adding a sintering aid, and prepares magnesia-alumina spinel transparent ceramic by adopting a pressureless presintering and hot isostatic pressing sintering combined mode, thereby having higher optical quality. The magnesia-alumina spinel transparent ceramic has good optical performance in the visible-near infrared light wavelength range: when the thickness is more than or equal to 4mm, the linear transmittance in the wavelength range of 400 nm-2500 nm is more than or equal to 78.9 percent.
