This invention discloses a method for preparing high-purity oxygen-free copper, relating to the field of metallurgical technology. The method includes multi-stage electrolytic refining, gradient-heating vacuum melting, inert gas-protected refining, electron beam melting, hydrogen plasma arc melting, directional solidification, and post-treatment steps. The multi-stage electrolytic refining utilizes a specific component electrolyte and periodically commutated current; vacuum melting is combined with bidirectional electromagnetic stirring; inert gas-protected refining is combined with a gradient reduction composite covering agent; electron beam and hydrogen plasma arc melting achieve deep purification and deoxidation; and directional solidification and two-stage annealing ensure product performance. The high-purity oxygen-free copper prepared by this invention has a conductivity of 102.3% IACS, a copper content ≥99.9999%, and an oxygen content <1.0 ppm. It exhibits high purity, low oxygen content, and excellent conductivity. The process is stable and controllable, making it suitable for high-end electronics applications.

The invention discloses a zirconia ceramic matrix with high thermal shock resistance as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The zirconia ceramic matrix comprises a matrix and a coating layer a; the matrix comprises the following components: 90-98 wt% of zirconium oxide; 1.5 to 8 wt.% of a stabilizing agent; % of a grain boundary regulating agent; the stabilizing agent is prepared from the following components in percentage by weight: 2.0 to 4.0 percent of Sc2O3, 0.5 to 1.5 percent of Yb2O3 and 0.3 to 1.0 percent of Er2O3; the grain boundary regulating agent is a composition of a boron source and an aluminum source; in the coating layer a, the molar ratio of zirconium to aluminum is (2-3): 1; and the component 1 is polyvinyl alcohol or polyvinylpyrrolidone. The fracture toughness, bending strength and thermal shock resistance of the ceramic matrix are effectively improved, and the overall mechanical property is remarkably improved. When the material bears thermal shock, the thermal shock resistance of the material is improved, and the application scene of the zirconia ceramic material is expanded.

This invention discloses a titanium oxide-zirconia composite target, its preparation method, and its applications. The titanium oxide-zirconia composite target comprises the following raw materials in parts by weight: 60-80 parts titanium oxide; 20-40 parts zirconium oxide; and 0.5-3 parts cerium oxide or 0.1-1 parts tantalum oxide. By doping titanium oxide and zirconium oxide with specific amounts of cerium oxide or tantalum oxide, this invention effectively improves the grain size of the titanium oxide-zirconia composite target and reduces grain boundary defects. The oxide film obtained from the titanium oxide-zirconia composite target of this invention possesses high refractive index and a wide bandgap, with the bandgap increased to over 3.5 eV, expanding its application in deep ultraviolet optical devices. The doping of cerium oxide or tantalum oxide improves the crack resistance of the film, making it crack-free after bending.
