Description

【発明の詳細な説明】 本発明は窒化けい素焼給体の製造方法に関する。[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a silicon nitride heat exchanger.

窒化けい素セラミックは、高温域での強度などの機械的

Silicon nitride ceramics have excellent mechanical properties such as strength in high-temperature ranges, and are chemically stable, so they are expected to be used as mechanical structural materials in high-temperature applications.

Silicon nitride (Si2N4) Fi: Since it has poor self-sintering properties, it is common to add a sintering aid to promote sintering and improve the performance of the sintered body when manufacturing sintered bodies. be. Examples of sintering aids include magnesia (MgO), alumina (A/20a), and yttrium oxide (Y2O3).

From the viewpoint of the sintering mechanism, the finer the sintering aid (and silicon nitride, which is the main raw material), the better. Therefore, when using multiple aids together, it is better to simply add them as a mixture.
It is more advantageous to add them as solid solutions or compounds. From this point of view, instead of using a mixture of magnesia and alumina, magnesia/alumina (MgO@A1208
) There have also been reports of attempts to improve sinterability by using spinel as a sintering aid.

The MgO-Al2O8 spinel has an excellent sintering accelerating effect, and is effective in improving the relative density of the sintered body by improving sinterability. However, the mechanical properties of the sintered body are not necessarily sufficient, and improvements in toughness and strength are particularly desired.

The method of the present invention uses MgO.Al2O3 spinel as a sintering aid in combination with other aids to exhibit the excellent sinterability of the spinel and to improve the toughness and strength of the sintered body. Ashi is characterized by adding 3 to 10% by weight of MgO, A4208 spinel and 3 to 3% of partially stabilized zirconia as auxiliary agents to the silicon nitride powder bed.
The method involves molding and sintering a mixture containing ~10% by weight.

以下、本発明について詳しく説明する。The present invention will be explained in detail below.

本発明において助剤としてMgO,A/208スピネル

In the present invention, MgO and A/208 spinel are added as auxiliary agents in order to obtain good sinterability as described above, and in order to fully exhibit this effect, at least 3% by weight is added.
It is necessary to add As the amount added increases, the sinterability improves, but if it exceeds 10% by weight, the effect of increasing the amount is small, and moreover, the high temperature strength, which is a characteristic of silicon nitride, decreases.

このため、スピネルの添加量は10重量%を上限とする
Therefore, the upper limit of the amount of spinel added is 10% by weight.

Partially stabilized zirconia added together with the spinel is effective in improving the fracture toughness (KI) and strength of the sintered body.If only the spinel is added, a glass phase is generated at the grain boundaries in the resulting sintered body. Therefore, sufficient performance in terms of strength cannot be expected, but the addition of partially stabilized zirconia suppresses the formation of a glass phase and improves toughness and strength.

In order to ensure the above effects of partially stabilized zirconia, it is necessary to add at least 3% by weight. The effect increases as the amount added increases, but if it exceeds 10% by weight, during sintering,
Sizirconia (Z r
02) is reduced and changes color to ZrO through a surface reaction. Therefore, the upper limit is set at 10% by weight. Regarding the amount of Y2O3 contained in partially stabilized zirconia, there is a view that it should be 3 moles or more from the viewpoint of promoting sintering effect, but in the present invention, addition of MgO-Al2O8 spinel is sufficient. Since good sinterability is ensured, there is no need to expect sintering promotion effect from partially stabilized zirconia. In the present invention, from the viewpoint of the above-mentioned toughness and strength improvement effects, it is sufficient for the amount of Y2O3 in zirconia to be 1 to 2.8 moles.

After mixing the sintering aid specified above with the silicon nitride powder bed and adding an appropriate forming aid if necessary, the mixture is kneaded.
By molding and sintering according to a conventional method, the desired sintered body can be obtained. Here, "forming and sintering" refers to cases where molding and sintering are performed in one step, such as a hot press method, a hot isostatic sintering method, an atmospheric pressure sintering method, etc. This term includes cases where the Σ step of molding into a required shape and the step of sintering the molded body are carried out separately. Either process may be carried out under normal conditions; for example, in the hot press method, a pressing force of 200 to 400 kt is used.
Sintering is achieved at a if/d1 sintering temperature of 1600-1850'C. In the hot isostatic sintering method, for example, a pressure of 50
0~2500 kgf/ci, temperature 600~185
Performed at 0°C. In the pressureless sintering method, a kneaded material to which a forming aid such as methylcellulose is added as necessary together with the above-mentioned aid is molded into a desired shape, and the mixture is molded into a desired shape under an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen/sulfur, for example, at an atmospheric pressure of 1. ~10 kqf/
sintering at a temperature of 1600 to 1850°C.

IC) was measured by the Knoop pressure method. The bending strength test was conducted using a 3-point bending method (span distance 30 yvm) using a specimen measuring 3πm x 4 and Wm x 401'jM. As shown in Table 1, the sintered body of the present invention example has a high relative density due to the sinterability of spinel, and has excellent fracture toughness due to the combined use of partially stabilized zirconia.
It can be seen that the strength is also good.

The fracture toughness value can be improved without reducing the relative density, making it very useful as a material for mechanical structures.
