Problems solved by technology

[0009] However, the thermal expansion coefficient of iridium and iridium-rhodium alloys is small, and the thermal expansion coefficient of nickel-based alloys is large. After welding, the alternating action of cold and heat during use can easily cause iridium and iridium-rhodium alloys to fall off and fail, especially larger-sized iridium and iridium-rhodium alloys. Rhodium alloys fall off more easily
In addition, the high prices of iridium and iridium-rhodium alloys also limit the application of iridium and iridium-rhodium alloys as spark plug electrode materials

Abstract

The invention discloses an iridium-nickel-iron alloy and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: taking iron, nickel and iridium and putting into a vacuum condition; under a vacuum state, heating metal to obtain alloy liquid; casting the alloy liquid into a copper die and carrying out casting to obtain an alloy casting ingot; carrying out homogenizationtreatment on the alloy casting ingot to obtain the iridium-nickel-iron alloy, wherein the obtained iridium-nickel-iron alloy is prepared from the following components in percentage by mass: 30 to 65 percent of the iridium, 30 to 60 percent of the nickel and 5 to 10 percent of the iron. According to the preparation method provided by the invention, firstly, a vacuum furnace is used for smelting andthen a water-cooling copper crucible is used for casting; then homogenization treatment is carried out and the generated iridium-nickel-iron alloy is used as a middle-layer welding material, so thatthe welding of the iridium, an iridium-rhodium alloy and an Inconel 600 alloy is realized; and 30 to 65 percent of a noble metal material is saved and the problem that the welding quality is not stable because noble metal and a nickel-based alloy have great thermal expansion coefficient difference is solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of electrode materials, in particular to an iridium-nickel-iron alloy and its preparation method and application. Background technique [0002] All gasoline engines have spark plugs, one per cylinder, and some high-speed gasoline engines have two spark plugs per cylinder. Although the spark plug is small, it affects the engine's starting ability, fuel consumption and exhaust emission level. If the engine is the heart of the car, then the spark plug is the "pacemaker" of the "heart". [0003] The function of the spark plug is to introduce the high-voltage electricity (above 10,000 V) generated by the ignition coil into the engine cylinder, and generate sparks between the electrodes of the spark plug to ignite the air-fuel mixture. Among them, the working environment of the spark plug electrode as the discharge part is extremely harsh. Taking the spark plug of an ordinary four-stroke gasoline engine as an ex...
