The present invention relates to a powder manufacturing method that uses a pulsed laser to precisely control the shape and size of noble metal-containing alloy powder. Precious metal-containing alloy powder can be used as brazing filler metal, electrical contact material,
It has a wide range of applications such as conductive paste, and its manufacturing methods include mechanical crushing, atomization, electrolysis, etc.
There are various methods such as reduction method and evaporation method. However, although each of these manufacturing methods has features that other methods do not have, all of them can achieve desired dimensions,
It is difficult to accurately produce precious metal-containing alloy powder in the desired shape.As a method for accurately producing noble metal-containing alloy powder into desired dimensions, for example, wire is cut into pellets with precision, and then heated in an electric furnace.
There are methods of melting to obtain a powder of desired dimensions. However, according to this method, it is impossible to obtain powders of alloys that undergo two-phase separation in the liquid state, such as Ag-Ni, Ag- SnO2, etc. Ag−Ni, Ag−SnO 2 which separates into two phases in the liquid state
The method of obtaining alloy powders such as Ag powder and Ni
There is a method to mechanically obtain alloy powder by mixing and pulverizing powder, Ag powder and SnO 2 powder using high power energy using a ball mill, etc.
According to this method, it is difficult to control grain shape and size.
Unless classified, powder of the desired size cannot be obtained. The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a powder manufacturing method that can accurately produce powder of a noble metal-containing alloy into desired dimensions and shapes. The details of the powder manufacturing method according to the present invention will be explained below with reference to the drawings. First, a material having the composition of the powder to be obtained is processed into a wire rod having a diameter 1 to 2 times the diameter of the desired powder. This is possible even if the alloy undergoes two-phase separation in the liquid state, if it is produced using a common powder metallurgy method. Next, as shown in FIG. 1, the wire 1 is irradiated with a laser beam 2 using a pulsed laser. The irradiation conditions for the laser beam 2 at this time are to irradiate the part A with one pulse, and to irradiate the laser beam 2 with an energy higher than the laser beam energy that melts the entire irradiated part. After the part A is melted and scattered under such irradiation conditions, the entire part B is melted and scattered. Thereafter, by repeating these operations and collecting the scattered materials, powder with uniform size and shape can be obtained. The size and shape of these powders are determined by the diameter of the wire, the absorption rate of the laser beam 2 of this material, the power density of the laser beam 2, and the blowing pressure of the assist gas. In the case of noble metal-containing alloys, the diameter must be 1 to 2 times the desired powder diameter because it is affected by the linear diameter. In addition, since the laser beam 2 can concentrate extremely high energy in minute areas, these scattered particles can be forcibly thrown into a suitable liquid by spraying assist gas before the two phases separate while remaining in a molten state. It solidifies quickly and the desired powder is obtained. The following method is used to collect the above-mentioned scattered objects. That is, the alloy melted by the above method is forcibly blown downward by spraying a suitable assist gas from a nozzle, and is rapidly cooled in a suitable liquid prepared in advance. Thus, the powders do not weld together and can be recovered by evaporation or drying of the liquid. Next, specific examples of the powder manufacturing method of the present invention will be described. A billet containing 90% Ag and 10% Ni by weight was prepared by powder metallurgy, and this billet was extruded and drawn into wire rods having the thickness shown in the left column of the table below. Next, as shown in Fig. 2, the wire rod 1 is fed by the roll feeder 3 at the feeding speed shown in the left column of the table below, and the portions A, B, C, etc. of the wire rod 1 are sequentially cut from the tip by a pulse oscillation laser. The assist gas is melted and scattered by irradiation with the laser beam 2 from a YAG laser with a wavelength of 1060 nm under the laser beam conditions shown in the center column of the table below, and at the same time, the assist gas is emitted from the nozzle 5 provided so as to hold the converging lens 4 and surround the laser beam 2. The powder was forcibly blown downward by spraying Ar gas at a flow rate of 50/min, then put into liquid nitrogen 7 in tank 6 for rapid cooling, and then passed through the liquid nitrogen to collect the powder. A powder having approximately the required size and shape with a particle size distribution as shown in the column was obtained.

う優れた効果がある。[Table] When this powder was observed with a metallurgical microscope, as shown in FIG. 3, Ag and Ni did not separate, and Ni particles 9 were extremely finely dispersed in the Ag 8 matrix. Although the above-mentioned embodiment deals with the production of an alloy powder of metals, the powder manufacturing method of the present invention can also be applied to the production of powder of simple metals or alloy powder of metals and non-metals. As can be seen from the above description, the powder production method of the present invention has the excellent effect of being able to accurately produce powder of a noble metal-containing alloy having a narrow particle size range and a desired size and shape.
