Problems solved by technology

However, lithium is a low-melting-point metal with extremely active chemical properties. It will be rapidly oxidized in the air, and it can react with most commonly used crucible materials in the molten state. Oxygen causes oxidation and serious burning loss, which affects the formation of alloys in metals
Using conventional methods to prepare alloys not only cannot obtain high-content lithium alloys, but also easily causes environmental pollution

The preparation method of the zinc-lithium alloy comprises the following steps: weighing high purity lithium and high purity zinc with the content of lithium 10-20% higher than the required ratio; putting the zinc into a high purity graphite crucible, putting the crucible into a vacuum furnace, wrapping the lithium with high purity zinc foil and placing the wrapped lithium into the feed hopper of the vacuum furnace; vacuum pumping; raising the temperature to 450-500 DEG C to melt the zinc; filling argon; adding the high purity lithium and refining for 10-15 minutes at the temperature of 600-650 DEG C; and casting to obtain the zinc-lithium alloy material.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a metal alloy preparation technology, in particular to a zinc-lithium alloy material and a preparation method thereof, as well as a technology for producing target materials using the alloy. Background technique [0002] Zinc alloy target is used in plasma sputtering of silicon wafers for large-scale integrated circuits, and is a key material for the manufacture of high-reliability integrated circuits and devices. [0003] The general method for preparing zinc alloys is to put all the alloying elements in a crucible for alloying in a vacuum or non-vacuum state. However, lithium is a low-melting-point metal with extremely active chemical properties. It will be rapidly oxidized in the air, and it can react with most commonly used crucible materials in the molten state. Oxygen causes oxidation and serious burning loss, which affects the formation of alloys in metals. The conventional method of preparing alloys not only cannot ob...
