Problems solved by technology

The present inventors have surprisingly found in in-depth research that the tantalum powder has a great relationship to the performance of the heat-treated tantalum powder in the state of heat treatment charging. If the tantalum powder is piled up too thick and the porosity is low, it will cause partial overoxidation of the tantalum powder; another On the one hand, if the tantalum powder is not properly filled during heat treatment, it will cause insufficient passivation of the tantalum powder. When the tantalum powder is taken out of the vacuum furnace, it will also undergo uncontrollable intense oxidation, which makes the oxygen content of the tantalum powder high. Sometimes even cause a fire

Abstract

The invention relates to a thermal treatment method of tantalum powder. The method comprises the following stages: (1) a vacuum thermal treatment stage: placing the raw tantalum powder with the porosity of 80-98% into a crucible in such a manner that the thickness of the tantalum powder in the crucible is less than 60 mm; heating the crucible in a heating furnace in vacuum at 900-1,400 DEG C; andthen cooling the crucible to the room temperature and passivating the tantalum powder to obtain the condensed tantalum powder; and (2) a deoxidization thermal treatment stage: uniformly mixing the condensed tantalum powder obtained in the stage (1) with a reducing agent to obtain the mixed powder; placing the mixed powder in the crucible in such a manner that the thickness of the mixed powder in the crucible is less than 60 mm; heating the crucible in a heating furnace in vacuum or inert atmosphere at 700-1,100 DEG C; then cooling the crucible to the room temperature and passivating the obtained tantalum powder; performing pickling to remove the residual reducing agent; and drying and screening to obtain the tantalum powder suitable for an electrolytic capacitor. The tantalum powder prepared by the method provided by the invention has low oxygen content and good electrical performance.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of tantalum powder production, and more specifically relates to a heat treatment method for tantalum powder used in electrolytic capacitors. Background technique [0002] The largest use of metal tantalum is to make tantalum electrolytic capacitors. The manufacturing process of tantalum electrolytic capacitors is usually to press tantalum powder in a die to form a compact, sinter the compact in a vacuum furnace to form a porous body with interconnected particles, and then anode the porous sintered body in a suitable electrolyte. Oxidation to form a uniform interconnected dielectric oxide film on the surface of the porous body, that is, to form an anode, and then coat the cathode material on the surface of the oxide film, and then encapsulate and form the capacitor anode and cathode. The parameters for evaluating tantalum electrolytic capacitors mainly include capacitance, DC (direct current) leakage current and equiv...
