等方向性石墨材料及其製造方法 Isotropic graphite material and method of producing the same

本發明是有關於一種等方向性石墨材料及其製造方法,且特別是有關於一種利用中間相碳微球但不添加任何黏結劑之等方向性石墨材料及其製造方法。 The present invention relates to an isotropic graphite material and a method of producing the same, and more particularly to an isotropic graphite material utilizing mesophase carbon microspheres without the addition of any binder and a method of making the same.

石墨材料是碳元素所構成的,藉由不同製造方法,可得到非晶系碳、石墨系碳、熱分解碳及碳纖等不同特性的獨特碳材。其中,等方向性石墨(isotropic graphite)材料具有耐高溫、導電、導熱、潤滑、多孔性、可塑和抗腐蝕等性能,近來廣泛應用於冶金、機械及半導體等各產業。傳統的石墨製程,一般使用焦碳(coke)作為原料,與煤焦瀝青(coal tar pitch)混合後,注入模內擠壓,接著在非氧化的條件下加熱至約1000℃,形成具有孔洞的無定型碳(amorphous carbon)。之後,再經過浸漬瀝青及再燒焙,如此進行多次,以填補孔洞。隨後,再利用熱處理至2500℃至3000℃,使無定型碳形成高密度的石墨。 The graphite material is composed of carbon elements, and different carbon materials, such as amorphous carbon, graphite-based carbon, thermal decomposition carbon, and carbon fiber, can be obtained by different manufacturing methods. Among them, isotropic graphite materials have high temperature resistance, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, lubrication, porosity, plasticity and corrosion resistance, and have recently been widely used in various industries such as metallurgy, machinery and semiconductors. Conventional graphite processes generally use coke as a raw material, mixed with coal tar pitch, injected into an in-mold, and then heated to about 1000 ° C under non-oxidizing conditions to form pores. Amorphous carbon. After that, the asphalt is impregnated and re-baked, and this is done several times to fill the holes. Subsequently, heat treatment is further applied to 2500 ° C to 3000 ° C to form amorphous carbon to form high density graphite.

近年來儲能材料的迅速發展,因此對於高密度、高強度、高純度且加工性能好之等方向性石墨材料需求亦快速增加。然而,傳統石墨製程複雜、且所得之製品品質無法滿足需求。因此,近來開發出利用自燒結式(self-sintering)之中間相碳微球(mesocarbon microbeads;MCMBs),其係不需混合、揉捏及粉碎步驟,亦不需再經過浸漬瀝青及再燒結等程序來填補孔洞,即可製造高強度、高密度、高純 度的石墨碳材,不僅大幅提升了石墨機械性質,亦簡化了等方向性石墨材料複雜的生產流程。上述製程與材料的相關文獻可參閱相關前案,如美國專利公告號US 5,525,276、US 5,547,654、US 5,609,800、US 4,929,404,以及台灣專利公告號TW 326027、TW 379202、TW424079等,在此一併列為本文之參考文獻。 In recent years, the rapid development of energy storage materials has led to a rapid increase in demand for directional graphite materials with high density, high strength, high purity and good processing properties. However, the conventional graphite process is complicated and the quality of the obtained product cannot meet the demand. Therefore, mesocarbon microbeads (MCMBs) using self-sintering have recently been developed, which do not require mixing, kneading, and pulverizing steps, and do not require impregnation of asphalt and re-sintering. Program to fill holes, you can create high strength, high density, high purity The graphite carbon material not only greatly improves the mechanical properties of graphite, but also simplifies the complicated production process of isotropic graphite materials. The above-mentioned processes and materials can be found in related documents, such as U.S. Patent Nos. 5,525,276, 5,547,654, 5,609,800, 4,929,404, and Taiwan Patent Publication Nos. TW 326027, TW 379202, TW424079, etc. References.

然而上述石墨材料之製程仍存在以下問題。舉例而言,上述製程在利用中間相碳微球形成生坯時,在後續碳化與石墨化處理時,容易釋放出大量的揮發性成分,而造成後續所得之石墨碳材的表面,產生裂縫或缺陷而表面不完整的問題。其次,上述製程若需要在真空狀態進行碳化處理(例如上述之台灣專利所載),在量產時會造成本的大幅提升。倘若,為了避免碳化與石墨化處理時揮發性成分逸散的問題,而放慢碳化處理的升溫速率,將會使得碳化處理時程更加冗長且更耗能。 However, the above process of the graphite material still has the following problems. For example, when the above process is used to form a green body by using mesocarbon microbeads, in the subsequent carbonization and graphitization treatment, a large amount of volatile components are easily released, resulting in the surface of the subsequently obtained graphite carbon material, causing cracks or Defects and incomplete surface problems. Secondly, if the above process needs to be carbonized in a vacuum state (for example, as described in the above-mentioned Taiwan patent), it will cause a substantial increase in mass production. If, in order to avoid the problem of the escape of volatile components during carbonization and graphitization, the rate of temperature increase of the carbonization process is slowed down, which will make the carbonization process longer and more energy-intensive.

綜言之,習知等方向性石墨材料之製程處理時間較長且耗能,而所得之石墨材料的表面容易有裂縫、甚至破裂,進而限制其應用之範圍。 In summary, conventional directional graphite materials have a long processing time and energy consumption, and the surface of the obtained graphite material is prone to cracks or even cracks, thereby limiting the range of application thereof.

因此,亟需提供一種等方向性石墨材料之製造方法,以徹底解決習知製程所得之石墨材料的表面有裂縫或缺陷,而限制其應用之範圍等問題。 Therefore, there is a need to provide a method for producing an isotropic graphite material to completely solve the problem that the surface of the graphite material obtained by the conventional process has cracks or defects, and limits the scope of application thereof.

因此,本發明之一態樣是在提供一種等方向性石墨材料的製造方法,其係將經或未經前處理之中間相碳微球, 經冷等均壓法模壓成生坯後,利用多階段碳化處理,以縮短碳化處理的時間,繼而進行石墨化處理,而形成等方向性碳質材料。 Accordingly, one aspect of the present invention provides a method of producing an isotropic graphite material which is a mesocarbon microbead with or without pretreatment. After being molded into a green body by a cold equalizing method, the multi-stage carbonization treatment is used to shorten the carbonization treatment time, followed by graphitization treatment to form an isotropic carbonaceous material.

In one example, the surface of one of the above-mentioned isotropic graphite materials is intact and has no crack defects, and the difference of the thermal expansion coefficients of the X-axis, the Y-axis and the Z-axis of the directional graphite material is less than 10 %.

依據本發明一實施例,上述之多階段碳化處理之多個升溫速率更包含由室溫(約10℃至40℃)升溫至300℃之第一升溫速率、由300℃升溫至500℃之第二升溫速率、由500℃升溫至800℃之第三升溫速率以及由800℃升溫至1000℃之第四升溫速率。在此實施例中,第一升溫速率係等於或大於第二升溫速率,第三升溫速率大於第二升溫速率,且第四升溫速率大於第三升溫速率。 According to an embodiment of the invention, the plurality of temperature rising rates of the multi-stage carbonization treatment further includes a first temperature increase rate from room temperature (about 10 ° C to 40 ° C) to 300 ° C, and a temperature increase from 300 ° C to 500 ° C.

承前所述,本發明提供一種等方向性石墨材料及其製造方法,其係將經或未經前處理之中間相碳微球,經冷等均壓法模壓成生坯後,利用多階段碳化處理,可獲得等方向性較佳且表面完整無裂紋缺陷之等方向性石墨材料,並縮短整體製程時間。 As described above, the present invention provides an isotropic graphite material and a method for producing the same, which comprises using a multi-stage carbonization of a mesocarbon microbead with or without pretreatment after being molded into a green body by cold isostatic pressing. The treatment can obtain a directional graphite material with equal directionality and complete surface without crack defects, and shorten the overall process time.

申言之,本發明之等方向性石墨材料的製造方法可利用下述方法製得。請參閱第1圖,其係繪示根據本發明一實施例之等方向性石墨材料的製造方法之部分流程圖。在一實施例中,此方法100可先如步驟101之所示,將前述經或未經前處理之中間相碳微球,經冷等均壓法進行模壓,以形成生坯,其中前述之冷等均壓法係對上述經或未經前處理之中間相碳微球施加500 kg/cm2至3000 kg/cm2之壓力達1分鐘至10分鐘,其中前述壓力係指最大成型壓力。在其他例子中,前述之冷等均壓法係對上述經或未經前處理之中間相碳微球施加1000 kg/cm2至2000 kg/cm2之壓力。 In other words, the method for producing an isotropic graphite material of the present invention can be obtained by the following method. Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a partial flow chart showing a method of manufacturing an isotropic graphite material according to an embodiment of the invention. In one embodiment, the method 100 may first mold the intermediate or non-pretreated mesocarbon microbeads by cold equalization as shown in step 101 to form a green body, wherein the foregoing The cold equal pressure equalization method applies a pressure of 500 kg/cm 2 to 3000 kg/cm 2 to the above-mentioned or untreated mesocarbon microbeads for 1 minute to 10 minutes, wherein the aforementioned pressure means the maximum molding pressure. In other examples, the aforementioned cold iso-pressure equalization method applies a pressure of from 1000 kg/cm 2 to 2000 kg/cm 2 to the above-described or pre-treated mesocarbon microbeads.

在此實施例中,前述未經前處理之中間相碳微球之粉體原料的平均粒徑(D50)為20μm至30μm,而經前處理之中間相碳微球之粉體原料的平均粒徑為1μm至10μm。一般而言,中間相碳微球之球體表面吸附適量之β-樹脂(β-resin),使其具有良好自燒結特性,經過冷等均壓法成型、碳化、石墨化處理後,可製備高密度等方向性石墨材料。其中,中間相碳微球具有甲苯不溶(toluene insoluble)成分(以下簡稱為TI)以及喹啉不溶(quinoline insoluble)成 分(以下簡稱為QI),而β-樹脂是指不溶於甲苯但溶於喹啉的成分,因此β-樹脂的含量係界定為TI與QI之差值。適用於本發明之中間相碳微球的β-樹脂含量極低,在一例子中,TI與QI之差值為0.1重量百分比(wt%)至2.0 wt%。在另一例子中,TI與QI之差值為0.2 wt%至2.0 wt%。在又一例子中,TI與QI之差值為0.4 wt%至2.0 wt%。 In this embodiment, the average particle diameter (D 50 ) of the powder raw material of the aforementioned untreated mesocarbon microbeads is 20 μm to 30 μm, and the average of the powder raw materials of the pretreated mesocarbon microbeads is 20 μm to 30 μm. The particle diameter is from 1 μm to 10 μm. In general, the surface of the sphere of the mesophase carbon microspheres adsorbs an appropriate amount of β-resin (β-resin), so that it has good self-sintering characteristics, and can be prepared after being subjected to cold equalization, carbonization, and graphitization. Density and other directional graphite materials. The mesophase carbon microspheres have a toluene insoluble component (hereinafter abbreviated as TI) and a quinoline insoluble component (hereinafter referred to as QI), and the β-resin refers to insoluble in toluene but soluble in quinine. The composition of the porphyrin, and thus the content of the β-resin is defined as the difference between TI and QI. The β-resin content of the mesocarbon microbeads suitable for use in the present invention is extremely low. In one example, the difference between TI and QI is from 0.1 weight percent (wt%) to 2.0 wt%. In another example, the difference between TI and QI is from 0.2 wt% to 2.0 wt%. In yet another example, the difference between TI and QI is from 0.4 wt% to 2.0 wt%.

惟在此說明的是,倘若β-樹脂含量低於0.1重量百分比(wt%),則中間相碳微球在後續碳化與石墨化處理時,其自燒結(self-sintering)性不佳,不容易形成表面完整的等方向性石墨材料。倘若β-樹脂含量大於2.0 wt%,則在後續碳化與石墨化處理時,碳微球內部溢出的揮發性成分會造成後續所得之等方向性石墨材料的表面,容易有裂縫或破裂問題。 However, it is stated here that if the β-resin content is less than 0.1% by weight (wt%), the mesocarbon microbeads have poor self-sintering properties in subsequent carbonization and graphitization treatments, It is easy to form a surface-complete isotropic graphite material. If the β-resin content is more than 2.0 wt%, the volatile components that overflow inside the carbon microspheres may cause the surface of the subsequently obtained isotropic graphite material to be susceptible to cracking or cracking during subsequent carbonization and graphitization.

然後,如步驟103所示,在第一保護氣氛之存在下,將前述之生坯進行多階段碳化處理,其係利用複數種升溫速率將生坯由室溫(約10℃至40℃)升溫至1000℃,而形成碳化材料。在一例子中,前述之第一保護氣氛為氮氣、氬氣、氦氣以及上述之任意組合。在另一例子中,前述之第一保護氣氛為氮氣。 Then, as shown in step 103, the green body is subjected to a multi-stage carbonization treatment in the presence of a first protective atmosphere, wherein the green body is heated from room temperature (about 10 ° C to 40 ° C) by a plurality of heating rates. To 1000 ° C, a carbonized material is formed. In one example, the first protective atmosphere described above is nitrogen, argon, helium, and any combination thereof. In another example, the aforementioned first protective atmosphere is nitrogen.

根據本發明之一實施例,當步驟103之生坯的溫度為300℃至1000℃時,生坯之升溫速率可定義為隨製程處理時間遞增之單調遞增函數。申言之,在一例式中,步驟103之多階段碳化處理可包括但不限於由室溫(約10℃至40℃)升溫至300℃之第一升溫速率、由300℃升溫至500℃之第二升溫速率、由500℃升溫至800℃之第三升溫速率以及由 800℃升溫至1000℃之第四升溫速率,其中第一升溫速率係等於或大於第二升溫速率,第三升溫速率大於第二升溫速率,且第四升溫速率大於第三升溫速率。 According to an embodiment of the present invention, when the temperature of the green body of step 103 is from 300 ° C to 1000 ° C, the heating rate of the green body can be defined as a monotonically increasing function that increases with the processing time. In one example, the multi-stage carbonization treatment of step 103 may include, but is not limited to, a first temperature increase rate from room temperature (about 10 ° C to 40 ° C) to 300 ° C, and a temperature increase from 300 ° C to 500 ° C. a second heating rate, a third heating rate from 500 ° C to 800 ° C, and The temperature rises from 800 ° C to a fourth temperature increase rate of 1000 ° C, wherein the first temperature increase rate is equal to or greater than the second temperature increase rate, the third temperature increase rate is greater than the second temperature increase rate, and the fourth temperature increase rate is greater than the third temperature increase rate.

上述第二升溫速率至第四升溫速率為逐步或連續變化且為隨製程處理時間遞增之單調遞增函數。多階段碳化處理由300℃升溫至1000℃時,溫度相對於製程處理時間之導數即為升溫速率,此升溫速率以不超過10℃/min為較佳。換言之,第二升溫速率、第三升溫速率以及第四升溫速率可保持恆定或隨時程而增加,其中,自第二升溫速率起,多階段碳化處理之溫度以不再下降為較佳。 The second to fourth heating rate is a stepwise or continuous change and is a monotonically increasing function that increases with process time. When the multi-stage carbonization treatment is carried out from 300 ° C to 1000 ° C, the derivative of the temperature with respect to the process time is the temperature increase rate, and the temperature increase rate is preferably not more than 10 ° C / min. In other words, the second heating rate, the third heating rate, and the fourth heating rate may be kept constant or increased over time, wherein the temperature of the multi-stage carbonization treatment is no longer decreased from the second heating rate.

舉例而言,當生坯之溫度為300℃至1000℃時,第三升溫速率可為第二升溫速率之2.5倍至3.5倍,而第四升溫速率可為第二升溫速率之7倍至8倍。由此所得之等方向性石墨材料具有較佳的等方向性且表面完整無裂紋缺陷。 For example, when the temperature of the green body is 300 ° C to 1000 ° C, the third heating rate may be 2.5 times to 3.5 times the second heating rate, and the fourth heating rate may be 7 times to 8 times of the second heating rate. Times. The isotropic graphite material thus obtained has a preferred isotropic property and a surface intact without crack defects.

在一例示中,第二升溫速率可為每分鐘0.02℃(℃/min)至1.0℃/min。在另一例示中,第二升溫速率可為0.02℃/min至0.7℃/min。在又一例示中,第二升溫速率可為0.02℃/min至0.05℃/min。 In one example, the second rate of temperature increase can be from 0.02 ° C (° C/min) to 1.0 ° C/min per minute. In another illustration, the second rate of temperature increase can be from 0.02 °C/min to 0.7 °C/min. In yet another illustration, the second rate of temperature increase can be from 0.02 °C/min to 0.05 °C/min.

在此需說明的是,在其他實施例中,上述多個升溫速率更可各自進一步在溫度範圍更小之區間中,進行升溫速率調控。舉例而言,由500℃升溫至800℃之第三升溫速率可進一步區分為由500℃升溫至600℃之第三(1)升溫速率以及由600℃升溫至800℃之第三(2)升溫速率,其中第三(2)升溫速率可等於或大於第三(1)升溫速率。惟本發明之升溫速率調控的方式並不限於此處所舉,其他溫度範圍之區間 亦可自由地在溫度範圍更小之區間中進行升溫速率調控。 It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the plurality of heating rates may be further adjusted in the temperature range of the temperature range. For example, the third temperature increase rate from 500 ° C to 800 ° C can be further divided into a third (1) temperature increase rate from 500 ° C to 600 ° C and a third (2) temperature increase from 600 ° C to 800 ° C. The rate, wherein the third (2) temperature increase rate may be equal to or greater than the third (1) temperature increase rate. However, the method of temperature regulation of the present invention is not limited to the ones mentioned herein, and the ranges of other temperature ranges are not limited. It is also free to adjust the heating rate in a smaller temperature range.

之後,如步驟105所示,在第二保護氣氛之存在下,將前述之碳化材料進行一石墨化處理,藉此形成等方向性石墨材料。在一例子中,前述之第二保護氣氛為氮氣、氬氣、氦氣以及上述之任意組合。在另一例子中,前述之第二保護氣氛為氬氣。 Thereafter, as shown in step 105, the carbonized material described above is subjected to a graphitization treatment in the presence of a second protective atmosphere, thereby forming an isotropic graphite material. In one example, the aforementioned second protective atmosphere is nitrogen, argon, helium, and any combination thereof. In another example, the aforementioned second protective atmosphere is argon.

在步驟105中,前述之石墨化處理係以5.0℃/min至8.0℃/min之第五升溫速率,將前述之碳化材料加熱至溫度2500℃至3000℃並持溫30分鐘至90分鐘。在另一例子中,前述之石墨處理係以6.0℃/min至7.0℃/min之第五升溫速率,將前述之碳化材料加熱至溫度2750℃並持溫30分鐘至90分鐘。 In step 105, the foregoing graphitization treatment heats the aforementioned carbonized material to a temperature of 2500 ° C to 3000 ° C at a fifth heating rate of 5.0 ° C / min to 8.0 ° C / min and holds the temperature for 30 minutes to 90 minutes. In another example, the foregoing graphite treatment heats the aforementioned carbonized material to a temperature of 2750 ° C and a temperature of 30 minutes to 90 minutes at a fifth heating rate of 6.0 ° C / min to 7.0 ° C / min.

評估碳化材料及等方向性石墨材料之效能Evaluate the effectiveness of carbonized materials and isotropic graphite materials 1.表面外觀Surface appearance

實施例1至實施例6所得之碳化材料與實施例5至實施例6所得之石墨材料,以及比較例1至比較例2所得之碳化材料,進一步利用目測觀察其表面之完整性,並依下列標準評估,其結果如第2表所示:○:表面完整且不具裂紋缺陷 The carbonized materials obtained in Examples 1 to 6 and the graphite materials obtained in Examples 5 to 6 and the carbonized materials obtained in Comparative Examples 1 to 2 were further visually observed for the surface integrity, and the following Standard evaluation, the results are shown in Table 2: ○: Surface integrity and no crack defects

×:表面不完整,且具有嚴重裂紋。 ×: The surface is incomplete and has a severe crack.

由第2表可得知,實施例1至實施例6所得之碳化材料與實施例5至實施例6所得之石墨材料,其表面完整且 不具裂紋缺陷或裂縫。相較之下,比較例1至比較例2所得之碳化材料與石墨材料,其表面不完整且具有裂縫;由於所製之碳化材料破裂、不完整,無法進一步進行石墨化以製出完整的等方向性石墨材料。 As can be seen from the second table, the carbonized materials obtained in Examples 1 to 6 and the graphite materials obtained in Examples 5 to 6 have a surface intact and No cracks or cracks. In comparison, the carbonized material and the graphite material obtained in Comparative Example 1 to Comparative Example 2 have incomplete surface and cracks; since the carbonized material is broken and incomplete, further graphitization cannot be performed to produce a complete product. Directional graphite material.

2.機械強度2. Mechanical strength

其次,實施例1至實施例6所得之碳化材料與實施例5至實施例6所得之石墨材料進行機械強度之評估,其係利用市售之蕭氏硬度試驗機(Shore Hardness Tester,Type D,Sato Seiki Co.,Japan)測量蕭氏硬度(Shore硬度;Hs),利用ASTM(American Society for Testing and Materials)C651之測試方法與Sintech 10/GL材料試驗機(MTS Test Systems Co.,U.S.A.)測量抗折強度,並利用ASTM C695之測試方法與Sintech 10/GL材料試驗機測量抗壓強度,其結果如第2表所示。 Next, the carbonized materials obtained in Examples 1 to 6 and the graphite materials obtained in Examples 5 to 6 were evaluated for mechanical strength using a commercially available Shore Hardness Tester (Type D, Sato Seiki Co., Japan) measured Shore hardness (Shore hardness; Hs) using ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) C651 test method and Sintech 10/GL material testing machine (MTS Test Systems Co., USA) The flexural strength was measured and the compressive strength was measured using a test method of ASTM C695 and a Sintech 10/GL material testing machine.

MPa

依照這些比較例之製程條件進行碳化處理後,所製出之碳化材料坯體表面皆有嚴重裂縫,亦即無法製出完整的碳化材料;也因而無法進一步以石墨化處理製出完整的等方向性石墨材料。與實施例1至實施例4作比較,比較例1至比較例2無法製得完整的石墨材料的原因,是在碳化處理時某些溫度區段的加溫速率太快。 After the carbonization treatment according to the process conditions of these comparative examples, the surface of the carbonized material body produced has serious cracks, that is, a complete carbonized material cannot be produced; and thus it is impossible to further form a complete isotropic direction by graphitization. Graphite material. In comparison with Examples 1 to 4, the reason why Comparative Example 1 to Comparative Example 2 could not produce a complete graphite material was that the heating rate of some temperature sections was too fast at the time of carbonization treatment.

3.熱學與電學性質3. Thermal and electrical properties

再者,實施例5與實施例6所得之等方向性石墨材料進行熱學與電學性質之評估,其係利用ASTM C714與ASTM E228之測試方法測量熱傳導係數以及熱膨脹係數,並利用ASTM C611之測試方法測量電阻係數,其結果如第2表所示。 Furthermore, the isotactic graphite materials obtained in Example 5 and Example 6 were evaluated for thermal and electrical properties, and the thermal conductivity and thermal expansion coefficient were measured by ASTM C714 and ASTM E228, and the test method of ASTM C611 was used. The resistivity was measured, and the results are shown in Table 2.

由第2表可得知,實施例5與實施例6所得之等方向性石墨材料,其熱傳導係數在40 W/mK附近,熱膨脹係數為5.7×10-6/K至7.2×10-6/K,電阻係數為6.6 μ Ω m至10.8 μ Ω m。 As can be seen from the second table, the isotropic graphite materials obtained in Example 5 and Example 6 have a heat transfer coefficient of around 40 W/mK and a coefficient of thermal expansion of from 5.7 × 10 -6 /K to 7.2 × 10 -6 / K, the resistivity is 6.6 μ Ω m to 10.8 μ Ω m.

其次,由第2表之結果可得知,實施例1至6將未經或經前處理之中間相碳微球,經冷等均壓法進行模壓,以形成生坯後,利用多階段碳化處理,可縮短進行碳化及石墨化的處理時間,並進而製出表面完整且不具裂紋缺陷之碳化材料以及等方向性石墨材料,而且等方向性石墨材料的性質良好,因此確實可達到本發明之目的。 Next, as can be seen from the results of Table 2, Examples 1 to 6 used the intermediate phase carbon microspheres which were not or pretreated, were molded by cold equalization to form a green body, and then used multi-stage carbonization. The treatment can shorten the treatment time for carbonization and graphitization, and further produce a carbonized material having an intact surface and no crack defects, and an isotropic graphite material, and the properties of the isotropic graphite material are good, so that the present invention can be achieved. purpose.
