Description

Simple and efficient hot-pressing sintering preparation method of Ce: YAG transparent ceramic
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of ceramic material preparation, and particularly relates to a simple and efficient hot-pressing sintering preparation method of Ce: YAG transparent ceramic.
Background
Among many novel fluorescent light conversion materials, transparent ceramics have low cost, short production period, easy realization of high doping concentration,The advantages of high thermal conductivity (about 14W/mK), high mechanical strength and the like are rapidly developed, among which, Y3Al5O12: Ce3+Transparent ceramics (Ce: YAG) have been studied most extensively. The vacuum sintering of a furnace adopting a tungsten heating element is the most common preparation method of the Ce: YAG transparent ceramic at present. But the method has higher sintering temperature, longer sintering period and higher production cost. Compared with non-pressure sintering, pressure-assisted sintering technologies such as hot-pressing sintering (HP) and Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) can provide more sintering driving force, inhibit grain growth, and achieve densification of a sample at a lower temperature and in a shorter time. However, these techniques require the use of graphite molds, making the samples susceptible to carbon contamination during sintering, which greatly affects the optical properties of the Ce: YAG transparent ceramics.
Research shows that lithium fluoride (LiF) plays a role in better particle rearrangement, higher densification rate and inhibition of carbon contamination in poor sintering environment during sintering of transparent ceramics. In 1994, Majima et al discovered that the use of LiF as a sintering aid significantly improved the transparency of the samples when preparing yttria ceramics by hot press sintering. There have been many studies to prepare a YAG powder having a high sintering activity by a chemical coprecipitation method and then to add LiF to successfully prepare a high-transparency YAG transparent ceramic free from carbon contamination. We have found that LiF does not effectively eliminate carbon contamination of graphite molds when YAG transparent ceramics are prepared by solid phase reaction in combination with hot press sintering using commercial alumina and yttria powders. Luzhou Kogyo ceramics of Huazhong science and technology university also encounters the problem in the research on YAG transparent ceramics, and a sample using LiF as a sintering aid can be transparent through annealing, but has very low transmittance, and black impurity residues which cannot be removed through annealing can be observed in a physical photograph; and the sample without using LiF in the experiment can not eliminate the discoloration problem after annealing. Other effective measures for removing carbon contamination must be found.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention provides a new idea for preparing Ce: YAG transparent ceramic by a hot-pressing sintering method, aiming at the problem of carbon pollution caused by a graphite mould in the process of preparing a ceramic sample by traditional pressure-assisted sintering technologies such as hot-pressing sintering (HP), Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) and the like. BN powder is selected as a carbon shielding material to wrap a ceramic blank, LiF is used as a sintering aid in a combined manner, and the two decarburization methods are combined to prepare the Ce: YAG transparent ceramic material with high transparency and high compactness.
In order to achieve the purpose, the invention adopts the following technical scheme:
the invention provides a novel carbon shielding material, which is used for preparing a carbon shielding material in Ce: YAG ceramic by using BN (boron nitride) as hot-pressing sintering. BN has a low coefficient of friction, excellent high temperature stability and high thermal conductivity, and is often used as a high temperature release agent in HP.
In the research, the effect of completely removing carbon pollution in the hot-pressing sintering process cannot be achieved only by adding LiF or wrapping the mixture by using BN, so that the influence of the combination of two decarburization methods on the hot-pressing sintering of the Ce: YAG transparent ceramic is researched by using hexagonal boron nitride (BN-h) powder as a carbon shielding material and using LiF as a sintering auxiliary agent. Finally, the problem of carbon pollution caused by a graphite die in hot-pressing sintering is successfully solved by adopting a simple and effective boron nitride shielding technology, and a new idea is provided for solving the problem of carbon pollution in HP and SPS technologies.

(3) adopting BN-h powder to coat the calcined ceramic body to obtain a BN-YAG structure,
the method comprises the following steps: firstly, paving a layer of BN powder at the bottom of a stainless steel die with the diameter of 20mm, applying uniaxial pressure of 20MPa to the BN powder to ensure that the BN powder has certain strength, then putting a ceramic blank (phi 19mm) into the center of the die, uniformly placing the BN powder above and around the blank, and applying uniaxial pressure of 20MPa again to form a BN-YAG inclusion;
(4) transferring the BN-YAG inclusion into a hot-pressing die, placing the BN-YAG inclusion into a vacuum hot-pressing furnace for sintering, heating and pressurizing according to a certain system, wherein the heating rate is 5-15 ℃ per min, the temperature in the furnace is 1550-1700 ℃, the pressure is 50MPa, and the vacuum degree is about 10-1Keeping the mixture for 1 to 3 hours under the condition of Pa to prepare Ce: YAG transparent ceramic;
(5) annealing the ceramic sample after hot-pressing sintering in air at 1200-1400 ℃ to remove oxygen vacancies, and finally grinding and polishing the double surfaces of the sample to the thickness of 1mm for characterization test.
According to the method, a solid-phase reaction is combined with a vacuum hot-pressing sintering (HP) technology, lithium fluoride (LiF) is used as a sintering additive, Boron Nitride (BN) is used as a shielding layer to wrap a ceramic blank, and the two technologies act together to effectively solve the problem of carbon pollution caused by a graphite mold in the sintering process of a sample, effectively avoid the phenomenon of reduced transparency of the ceramic after heat treatment due to pollution and color change, and expand the application field of hot-pressing sintering. Finally, the Ce: YAG transparent ceramic with high transmittance and high density is prepared in a shorter sintering period under the conditions of lower sintering temperature and vacuum degree.

4. Transferring the BN-YAG inclusion into a hot-pressing die, and sintering in a vacuum hot-pressing furnace. Heating and pressurizing according to a certain system, firstly heating to 1000 ℃ at the speed of 10 ℃/min, and then slowly heating to 1550 ℃ at the heating speed of 5 ℃/min. The slow pressurization was started at 1200 ℃ until 50MPa was reached. The temperature in the furnace is 1550 ℃, the pressure is 50MPa, and the vacuum degree is about 10-1And keeping the mixture for 2 hours under the condition of Pa to prepare the Ce: YAG transparent ceramic.
5. Annealing the ceramic sample after hot-pressing sintering in air at 1300 ℃ to remove oxygen vacancies, and finally grinding and polishing the double surfaces of the sample until the thickness is 1mm, marking as a sample D, and performing characterization test.
Examples of the experiments
YAG sample A, B, C of Ce prepared in examples 1-3 above was heat treated and polished, and then X-ray diffraction was performed on the samples before heat treatment (a), after heat treatment and after polishing (b), respectively, and XRD patterns of the samples before heat treatment (a), after heat treatment and after polishing (b) are shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, respectively. From fig. 1 and 2, it can be seen that the diffraction peaks of Ce: YAG can well meet the standard mode of YAG (JCPDS33-0040), indicating that pure garnet crystal structure is obtained.
The photographs of the Ce: YAG sample A, B, C obtained in examples 1-3 above are shown in FIG. 3. Sample (a) was prepared with LiF as sintering additive; the sample (B) is prepared by taking TEOS as a sintering additive and BN-h as a shielding material; the sample (C) was prepared using LiF as a sintering additive and BN-h as a shielding material. In fig. 3, the part above the red line is a photograph of the hot-pressed sintered sample after simple grinding and polishing, and the part below the red line is a photograph of the same sample after annealing and final polishing. As can be seen from FIG. 3, after vacuum hot-pressing sintering, the sample B, C shows black/brown discoloration, which is generally considered to be caused by carbon pollution or oxygen vacancy, and the discoloration can be solved by high-temperature heat treatment, so that the original yellow color of the Ce: YAG is restored, but the light transmittance of the Ce: YAG ceramic is reduced due to the generation of micro-structural pores of the ceramic. It is demonstrated that the problems of carbon contamination and discoloration cannot be solved by using BN or LiF only in the hot-pressing sintering process, and particularly, sample C has not only serious discoloration but also extremely low light transmittance after annealing. And the sample A protects the ceramic body by combining BN-h with LiF, thereby effectively avoiding carbon pollution, eliminating color change and having higher transparency after annealing.
YAG sample A, B, C of Ce prepared in examples 1-3 was heat treated and polished for in-line transmittance testing and the in-line transmittance curve of sample A, B, C is shown in FIG. 4. As can be seen from FIG. 4, under the dual actions of BN-h and LiF, the on-line transmittance of sample A at 800nm reaches 71.5%; the sample B using BN-h as an external shield has a high transmittance of 57.1 percent at 800nm, but still has discoloration; the in-line transmission at 800nm for sample C was only 21.3%. It can be seen that the light transmittance of the color-changed sample is obviously reduced after the heat treatment, and the appearance color change of the sample is closely related to carbon pollution. Carbon purification mechanism studies for LiF generally suggest that LiF reacts with carbon at high temperatures to form (CF)nA gas, which is then released; the mechanism of action of BN-h is to reduce the diffusion of elemental carbon by a simple external shield to avoid direct contact between the carbon mold and the sample. LiF has poor effect on eliminating carbon pollution, but can solve the problem of color change caused by carbon pollution when combined with a BN-h shielding material.
The thermal corrosion surface of the Ce: YAG sample A, B, C prepared in examples 1-3 was examined by sem, and the sem images of the thermal corrosion surface of sample A, B, C are shown in fig. 5, 6, and 7, respectively. As can be seen from FIGS. 5 to 7, the average grain size of all three samples was about 1 to 3 μm, and all had regular grains and clean grain boundaries. The samples A and B which are subjected to the BN-h coating treatment have fewer pores, while the sample C does not have the shielding effect of the BN-h, so that most of carbon impurities enriched at grain boundaries are permeated, a large number of open pores are left at the grain boundaries after the heat treatment, a small number of closed pores are generated in the grain boundaries, and the optical properties of the samples are greatly reduced by the pores. The BN-h is adopted as the barrier, so that the number of pores of the crystal boundary is reduced, the density of the sample is increased, and the optical performance of the sample is improved.
The above examples are only intended to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, but not to limit it; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes may be made and equivalents may be substituted for elements thereof; and such modifications or substitutions do not depart from the spirit and scope of the corresponding technical solutions.
