The invention relates to a production process for preparing a silica
ceramic crucible by use of a
pressure grouting method and belongs to the technical field of high-grade
refractory materials in a
polycrystalline silicon industry. The
pressure grouting comprises steps of preparation of pouring
slurry, die assembling, molding by pouring
slurry and demolding for fetching a
green body, i.e., (1) ball-milling fused silica grain composition into
slurry; and (2) fixing a resin die and assembling the die, grouting, pressurizing
quartz slurry with the initial pressure being 0.1-0.2Mpa, enhancing the pressure to 0.3-1.5Mpa after a die cavity is filled with
quartz slurry, keeping the pressure for about 5 minutes to filter water in the silica slurry by virtue of a micro-reticular resin mold to form a square
crucible green body, and during demolding of the
green body, and applying pressure of 0.2-0.3Mpa to the surface of the green body through the back layer of the micro-reticular resin mold by utilizing compression air. The green body of the silica
ceramic crucible, prepared by the process, has
high intensity, does not have residual air holes and is easy to demold, the product is good in
thermal shock resistance and high in
temperature resistance, and can meet the
process requirements of
polycrystalline silicon production; and the process has the advantages of high biscuit
drying speed, small occupied area for production, shortened manufacturing period, low cost, and suitability for scale production.
