Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable continuous vapor deposition at a stabilized evaporation rate by replenishing raw materials for vapor deposition in the form of powder and granular materials of specific sizes at the time of continuously depositing a hardly workable material by evaporation on the surface of a material to be treated by using an electron beam. CONSTITUTION:The material 4, such as Cr, Mg or Mn, which is inferior in plastic deformation, and is hardly workable to a wire, plate material, etc., by ordinary drawing or rolling, is put into a vapor deposition chamber 5 and is heated to evaporate by irradiation with the electron beam 3 by an electron gun 2, by which the vapor deposited film of the Cr, etc., is continuously formed on the surface of the material 1, such as metallic material, plastic or paper. The replenishment of the raw materials 4 for vapor deposition reduced in weight by the vapor deposition is executed by extracting <=5wt.% powder, granular or lump materials 6 of <1mm grain diameter from a container by a vibrator 7 and supplying these materials into the evaporation chamber 5. Since the raw materials 4 for vapor deposition are not too fine, the floating of the raw materials 4 for vapor deposition on the molten surface of the raw materials to be evaporated within the evaporation chamber 5 and the covering of the molten surface do not arise. The degradation in the vapor deposition rate by the decrease of the molten surface to be evaporated is prevented and the vapor deposition is executed stably at a high speed.

The present invention relates to a vapor deposition plating method capable of performing stable and continuous operation when performing.

2. Description of the Related Art When performing vacuum deposition plating,
The metal material to be vapor-deposited is heated and vaporized by using an appropriate heating means, and the produced metal vapor is adhered to the substrate to form a vapor-deposited film. As the heating means, electron beam heating, laser beam heating, resistance heating,
Although various materials such as high-frequency induction heating are used, heating with an electron beam having a high output and a high energy density is possible because of the advantages that a high evaporation rate can be obtained and a metal with a high melting point can be evaporated. Is often used.

By the way, when a metal material is heated and vaporized by the above heating means in vacuum, the melting point of the metal material such as pure Al and pure Zn is considerably lower than the temperature at which the vapor pressure is sufficiently increased, and therefore, it is usual. As an implementation means, first, a metal material is melted in a raw material tank such as a crucible, and further heated to evaporate metal atoms from the surface of the molten metal bath. Therefore, the effective evaporation area is determined by the surface area of the molten metal bath, and the evaporation amount under high vacuum can be uniquely controlled by thermal energy.

As described above, the vapor deposition method is a technique applied in a wide range of fields, and continuous production has already been put into practical use for materials such as pure Al and pure Zn. Needless to say, in such continuous production, it is necessary to replenish the evaporation raw materials that decrease due to evaporation in order to secure a stable evaporation amount over a long period of time, but these metals are easy to process and easy to electron beam heat. Since the melting bath is formed in the above, the raw material can be supplied to the evaporation tank relatively easily by a method such as processing the vapor deposition raw material into a wire shape. Also, the replenishment speed can be easily adjusted by a method of measuring the decrease rate of the vapor deposition material and feeding it back to the rotation speed of a pinch roller or the like for feeding the wire.

On the other hand, among difficult-to-process materials, Cr and M
Sublimable metals such as g have a problem in the stability of the amount of evaporation even when a stable raw material is supplied. That is, since these sublimable metals show a high vapor pressure even under a temperature lower than the melting point of the metal under high vacuum conditions, when heat energy is applied, evaporation from the surface of the vapor deposition material where melting has not started progresses. At this time, the entire surface of the evaporation material becomes the evaporation effective area, and the evaporation effective area not only significantly changes depending on the specific surface area of the metal material, but also the evaporation effective area changes with time as the evaporation material becomes smaller as the evaporation progresses. Change. Therefore, even if the applied heat energy is kept constant, it is difficult to keep the total amount of evaporation from the surface of the total metal material constant because the amount of input energy per unit area, that is, the power density changes. Further, since the incident angle of the electron beam, which is a heating source, changes with the change of the shape of the vapor deposition material, there is a problem that the absorption efficiency of the electron beam changes and the surface temperature of the vapor deposition material also varies.

As a method for solving the above problems of vapor deposition of a sublimable material, an element capable of forming a molten bath at a lower temperature by alloying is added to a sublimable material to remove the element from the alloy bath state.

No. 65) is proposed. For example, when Cr, which is a sublimable material, is vapor-deposited, alloying with Zr makes it possible to vapor-deposit Cr from the state of a molten Zr—Cr alloy bath. According to this method, the evaporation surface is always a flat melting surface, and it is possible to solve the problem of the change in the shape of the vapor deposition material.

The present invention will be described in detail below along with the background of the invention. First, in the present invention, it is necessary to form the vapor deposition material into a molten bath. As mentioned above, this is to ensure a stable evaporation amount by avoiding the problem of evaporation amount fluctuation in sublimable materials by always making the evaporation surface a constant and flat melting surface, and to control the adhesion amount with high accuracy. This is to do it. Hereinafter, description will be made on the premise that the raw material is replenished to the vapor deposition raw material in the molten bath state.

In examining the method of replenishing the raw materials, the present inventors first tried to replenish the powdery material using the apparatus shown in FIG. The reason why the powder form is selected is that it is possible to use a powder having an appropriate particle size even if the material has poor plastic deformability, except for a material that may cause self-heating due to oxidation, especially with an active metal. This is also because the materials can be easily obtained.

As a result, the following problems have been found. That is, the surface of the molten bath is heated to a high temperature by the electron beam, but when a powdered material is supplied in that state, the powdered material flows and floats on the surface of the molten bath until the powder melts. A phenomenon was observed to cover the. Further, when the floating powder material flows to the place where the electron beam is irradiated, a phenomenon called splash, in which the powder material is rapidly heated excessively and scattered, has occurred violently. Although the mechanism of these phenomena is not clear, it is thought that it may take some time before the powdered material immediately after being supplied gets wet with the melting bath.

When the powdered material covers the surface of the molten bath, the actual evaporation area is reduced, resulting in a decrease in evaporation amount. Also, the generation of splash causes a serious quality defect when it adheres to the product surface. Therefore, it became clear that the material supplied to the molten bath needs to have a size large enough so as not to float and spread on the surface of the supplied molten bath.

Next, the present inventors conducted a material supply experiment focusing on the particle size of the supplied material and found that a powdery or granular material having a particle size of less than 1 mm is likely to cause such a floating phenomenon. . However, it is difficult to completely remove powdery, granular, or lumpy materials having a particle size of less than 1 mm, and it is considered that new generation occurs when the feed material is handled. Therefore, the inventors of the present invention have conducted earnest research and development from the viewpoint of how much powdery, granular, or lumpy material having a particle size of less than 1 mm can be contained in the raw material to be supplied. Less than 5% by weight of powdery, granular or lump material less than 1 mm, more preferably 3% by weight
It was found that such a floating phenomenon of the feed material can be suppressed to a level not causing a problem in practice by setting the content to be less than the above, and the present invention has been completed. The particle size described here means that the particles are sorted by a standard sieve as specified in JIS Z8801, for example.

Ideally, a material having a particle size of less than 1 mm and containing no powdery, granular, or agglomerate material should be used as a feed material, but this is difficult in terms of process and cost. Therefore, the inventors have found that by limiting the ratio as described above, it is possible to reduce both the generation of splash and the fluctuation of the evaporation amount to a negligible amount.
In addition, by reducing the amount of powdery or granular material with a particle size of less than 1 mm, handling becomes easier even when supplying a relatively active metal, and the risk of spontaneous ignition during storage is reduced. The next effect can be expected.

When the vapor deposition raw material is an alloy bath composed of a plurality of elements, it is essential that the specific gravity of the feed raw material is equal to or higher than the specific gravity of the alloy bath. Even if the supplied material satisfies the conditions specified in the present invention, a phenomenon occurs in which the supplied raw material floats before melting. As a result, the amount of evaporation may fluctuate and a splash may occur.

By the way, it can be considered that the particle size is preferably as small as possible within the range satisfying the above-mentioned requirements unless there is a problem caused by the supply device. That is, when an excessively large amount of raw material is supplied at one time as compared with the amount of the molten bath, it is necessary to lengthen the supply cycle, so that the amount of the molten bath decreases due to evaporation and the amount of the molten bath increases due to the supply of the raw material. There is a tendency that the height of the molten bath and the composition of the bath increase, and the fluctuations of the evaporation amount and the vapor composition also increase. Further, when the melting bath is an alloy bath, the alloy composition on the surface of the alloy bath fluctuates, and the evaporation amount of each alloying element fluctuates. As a result, the composition of the resulting coating is not stable. On the contrary, when the particle size is small within the range satisfying the above-mentioned regulation, it is possible to finely control the supply amount per unit time, and as a result, the variation amount of the molten metal bath surface height per unit time, It becomes relatively easy to suppress the fluctuation amount of the alloy composition on the surface of the alloy bath.

The upper limit of the size of the feed material that causes the fluctuation of the evaporation amount to be a non-negligible amount is the structure of the evaporation tank holding the melting bath, the output of the electron beam used for heating the melting bath, the supply of the raw material in the evaporation tank. Since the factors other than the feed material such as the relationship between the position and the region where the electron beam heating is performed have complicated influences, it is not possible to unambiguously specify only the feed material. However, from the results of the feed experiment conducted by the present inventors, it is preferable that the weight of the feed material fed at one time in comparison with the amount of the molten bath is kept within 3 wt% of the amount of the molten metal, and more desirably within 1 wt%.

As shown in Nos. 1 to 18 of Table 1, by the method of the present invention, it is possible to continuously supply the material and suppress the generation of splash to secure a stable evaporation amount. In addition, as shown in Nos. 6 and 18, when an excessively large amount of the feed material is used, the amount of the adhering amount fluctuates although it does not affect the generation of splash. On the other hand, as shown in Nos. 19 to 23, when a material having a particle diameter of less than 1 mm is contained in a ratio exceeding the claimed range of the present invention, the influence of powdery or granular material floating on the surface of the molten metal cannot be ignored. Become a thing,
The adverse effects such as the occurrence of splash and the variation of the adhered amount become remarkable.
