Problems solved by technology

The disadvantages of this method can be seen as, on the one hand, crystal growth occurs during sintering and the abrasive grains with an average texture size of 0.4 μm are always significantly coarser than conventional sol-gel-corundum, and on the other hand, very expensive α-alumina powder to obtain this result
The above-mentioned methods are therefore not suitable as methods for the production of cost-effective sintered corundum

Embodiment 1

[0065] As α-Al for the preparation of nanocrystals 2 o 3 The starting material, used commercially under the name Locron L Basic aluminum chloride available from Clariant AG, Gersthofen (Germany). Basic aluminum chloride is supplied as a 50% aqueous solution and has the molecular formula corresponding to Al 2 (OH) 5 Clx2-3H 2 The chemical composition of O. It follows that a 50% aqueous solution of basic aluminum chloride contains about 23-24% Al 2 o 3 .

[0066] as for α-Al 2 o 3 -Starting material for crystal nuclei using WSK3000, an α-alumina from Treibacher Schleifmittel GmbH, Laufenburg (Germany), supplied as easily redispersible spray granules with a primary diameter of about 0.5 μm average particle size.

[0067] The WSK3000 is wet milled for about 3 hours in an agitator ball mill. The resulting suspension is subsequently processed in a clarifier, where about 95% of the solid fraction is separated off by centrifugation. The fine fraction left in the suspensi...

Embodiment 2

[0078] Preparation of a suspension of basic aluminum chloride mixed with crystal nuclei, subsequent drying and thermal conversion to α-Al 2 o 3 Proceed as in Example 1.

[0079] However, no stabilizer for the suspension was added in the subsequent approx. 3-hour deagglomeration in the stirred ball mill. Instead, the suspension was cast as a layer about 6 mm thick directly after the end of the deagglomeration, degassed in a vacuum oven (5 hours at 200 mbar) and subsequently dried at about 80° C. The dried material was pre-calcined at 500° C. for 30 minutes and subsequently comminuted to abrasive grain size (6 mm and finer). The final sintering was carried out as in Example 1 in a rotary furnace.

[0080] The abrasive grains thus obtained have a density of 98.8% of the theoretical density, Vickers hardness HV 0.2 The average primary particle size is 2190GPa and 70nm. Also like Example 1 above, Example 2 was tested in abrasives on a substrate and in bonded abrasives. The r...

Embodiment 3

[0082] Preparation of a suspension of basic aluminum chloride mixed with crystal nuclei, subsequent drying and thermal conversion to α-Al 2 o 3 Proceed as in Example 1.

[0083] In the subsequent approximately three-hour deagglomeration in an agitated ball mill, polyacrylic acid was used as a stabilizer for the suspension as a dispersion aid. A 10% aqueous suspension of polyvinyl alcohol (Mowiol 8-88, Kuraray Specialties Europe GmbH, Frankfurt, Germany) was subsequently admixed as binder into the suspension with a solids content of about 30% in an amount of about 0.05 wt. %, based on Al 2 o 3 content meter.

[0084] The suspension was subsequently sprayed in a fluidized bed spray granulator (AGT 150, Glatt GmbH, Binzen, Germany) at an air inlet temperature of 95°C, a bed temperature of 45°C, an injection pressure of 3 bar and an injection rate of 70 g / min Granulated. For the nucleation a fine-grained fraction with an average particle size of 0.2 mm was used which was obt...

Abstract

The invention relates to a ceramic sintered body made from a-Al2O3 with a content of 95 - 100 wt. % Al2O3, a relative sintered density of = 97 % of the theoretical density and a Vickers hardness HV0-2 of = 17.5 GPa, the crystallite structure of which has a mean primary crystal size for the Al2O3 crystals of < 100 nm. The invention further relates to a method for production of a sintered body witha mean primary crystal size of = 100 nm, wherein a nanocrystalline a-Al2O3 is firstly produced starting from basic aluminium chloride which is further processed to give a sintered body with a mean primary crystallite size of = 100 nm.

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a sintered body based on alpha-alumina having an Al content of 95-100% by weight 2 o 3 , relative sintered density ≥97% of theoretical density and Vickers hardness HV ≥17.5GPa 0.2 , its microcrystalline structure has ≤100nm Al 2 o 3 The average primary crystal size of the crystals. Background technique [0002] Materials with nanoscale structures are of great interest for construction, electrotechnology, optics, machine construction and plant construction, for vehicle technology, medical technology, the paper industry and many other branches of industry. Materials scientists have determined that miniaturization of the organization of a material will, in part, lead to a major change in the properties of such a material. For example, in the field of ceramics, nanostructured ceramic materials are expected to have extraordinary improvements in their hardness, toughness, fracture strength, wear resistance and other properties, ...
