Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of molybdenum end caps, and in particular to an adhesive for the production of molybdenum end caps, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] A magnetron is an electric vacuum device used to generate microwave energy. It is the core heating component in equipment such as microwave ovens and can also be used in radar generators. A magnetron mainly consists of five components: cathode, anode, energy coupling device, magnetic circuit, and tuning device. The cathode assembly, composed of a spiral thorium-tungsten cathode and a molybdenum support, is the electron source that maintains the generation of electrons in the magnetron and sustains the continuous oscillation of electrons. The molybdenum end cap is an important component of the cathode assembly.

[0003] The molybdenum end cap consists of an upper cap and a lower cap, with the two ends of the magnetron microwave transmitting coil welded to the upper and lower caps respectively. The molybdenum end cap is obtained by mixing molybdenum powder and a binder, spray granulation, pressing, and sintering. The binder increases powder flowability and maintains product shape. Currently, the binder used is a system composed of polyvinyl butyral (PVB), paraffin wax, and ethanol, which modifies the molybdenum powder, increasing the particle size and improving its flowability.

[0004] When a binder system consisting of polyvinyl butyral, paraffin, and ethanol is used, the modified molybdenum powder will have different particle sizes and strengths, resulting in significant differences in the performance of molybdenum powder produced in different batches and poor product stability of the produced molybdenum end caps. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to improve the uniformity of particle size and particle strength of molybdenum powder after binder modification and improve the stability of molybdenum end cap products, this application provides a binder for the production of molybdenum end caps, its preparation method and application.

[0006] This application provides an adhesive for the production of molybdenum end caps, its preparation method, and its application, employing the following technical solution:

[0007] An adhesive for producing molybdenum end caps is prepared from raw materials comprising the following parts by weight:

[0008] 5-10 parts of polyvinyl alcohol;

[0009] 2-5 parts of polyvinylpyrrolidone;

[0010] Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose 0.5-2 parts;

[0011] 1-3 parts lubricant;

[0012] 1-3 parts dispersant;

[0013] 90-120 parts of deionized water.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose are selected for cross-linking to form a uniform film on the surface of molybdenum powder. At the same time, the dispersant promotes the uniform dispersion of the binder system, and the addition of lubricant plays a lubricating role during the pressing of molybdenum powder, reducing friction and enhancing the adhesion between molybdenum powder particles, thereby improving the particle strength and flowability of molybdenum powder. By compounding with sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, the loose density of molybdenum powder particles can be increased, which is conducive to the normal distribution of molybdenum powder particle size, thus making the performance of molybdenum powder particles more uniform and the stability of molybdenum end cap products higher.

[0015] Optionally, the sodium carboxymethyl cellulose is selected from sodium carboxymethyl cellulose grafted with 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid, which is prepared from the following raw materials in parts by weight: 12-15 parts of 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid.

[0016] Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose 1.5-2.5 parts;

[0017] Initiator 0.05-0.1 parts;

[0018] Crosslinking agent 0.08-0.15 parts.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid is selected to graft and modify sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, which makes sodium carboxymethyl cellulose more compatible with polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinylpyrrolidone. Furthermore, longer polymer chains are introduced into the binder system, which further promotes the cross-linking and bridging effect of the binder, thereby enhancing the hydrogen bonding and adhesion of molybdenum powder particles, thus further improving particle strength and resulting in better strength and mechanical properties of molybdenum end cap products.

[0020] Optionally, the lubricant may be one or more of glycerin, sodium stearate, and emulsified wax.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, adding lubricant can play a lubricating role in the pressing process, reducing friction between molybdenum powder particles and between molybdenum powder and the mold wall, which is beneficial to improving the density and strength of the pressed blank.

[0022] Optionally, the dispersant is selected from one or more of polyethylene glycol, sodium tripolyphosphate, and sodium hexadecyl sulfate.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the use of a dispersant can improve the dispersibility of molybdenum powder in the binder, which is beneficial for the binder to effectively and uniformly coat the surface of the molybdenum powder.

[0024] Optionally, the lubricant is sodium stearate, and the dispersant is a mixture of polyethylene glycol 2000 and polyethylene glycol 800, with a mass ratio of polyethylene glycol 2000 to polyethylene glycol 800 of (0.6-0.8):(1.2-1.4).

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, and using a compound of sodium stearate, polyethylene glycol 2000 and polyethylene glycol 800, the fluidity and formability of molybdenum powder can be further improved. The pressed compact obtained during the pressing process has higher strength, higher particle uniformity, and higher loose density.

[0026] Optionally, the polyvinyl alcohol has an average degree of polymerization of 1000-1500 and a degree of alcoholysis of 85%-95%.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, polyvinyl alcohol with an average degree of polymerization of 1000-1500 and a degree of hydrolysis of 85-95% exhibits better adhesive performance.

[0028] Secondly, this application provides a method for preparing an adhesive for producing molybdenum end caps, comprising the following steps:

[0029] Mix deionized water, dispersant and lubricant evenly and stir thoroughly for 0.5-1h to obtain a mixture. Heat the mixture to 60-80℃, add polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinylpyrrolidone to the mixture, stir for 20-30min, and maintain constant temperature stirring. Slowly add sodium carboxymethyl cellulose to the mixture, and obtain the binder after cooling.

[0030] By adopting the above technical solution, the raw materials are evenly dispersed in deionized water through stirring and heating, followed by the addition of polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinylpyrrolidone, which shortens the stirring time of the adhesive and thus maintains the bonding strength of the adhesive.

[0031] Optionally, when sodium carboxymethyl cellulose is selected from sodium carboxymethyl cellulose grafted with 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid, it is prepared by the following steps:

[0032] Weigh 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid into a reactor, add distilled water to dissolve it, add sodium hydroxide aqueous solution to neutralize to pH 6.5-7, add sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, and after complete dissolution, add initiator and crosslinking agent, stir evenly, and place in a microwave reactor. React for 5-10 minutes, remove the reactant and place it in an oven to dry at 80-90℃ to constant weight, soak and wash with distilled water, filter and dry, and pulverize to obtain sodium carboxymethyl cellulose grafted with 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid.

[0033] By adopting the above technical solution, 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid is crosslinked with sodium carboxymethyl cellulose under the action of initiator and crosslinking agent, thereby achieving the modification of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose.

[0034] Thirdly, this application provides a method for preparing a molybdenum end cap, using any of the above-described adhesives for producing molybdenum end caps, the specific steps of which include:

[0035] The raw molybdenum powder and binder are mixed evenly and then wet-milled in a ball mill jar to prepare a molybdenum powder slurry.

[0036] The molybdenum powder slurry is spray-dried and granulated, and the granulated molybdenum powder is collected.

[0037] Granulated molybdenum powder is filled into the mold cavity and then pressed to form a molybdenum end cap compact.

[0038] The binder is removed by heating the molybdenum end cap compact, and then sintered at high temperature to obtain the molybdenum end cap sintered compact.

[0039] The molybdenum end cap sintered blank is polished and hydrogen-burned to obtain the molybdenum end cap product.

[0040] By adopting the above technical solution, a molybdenum end cap product with high strength and stable performance can be obtained through simple operation.

[0041] Optionally, the raw material molybdenum powder has a mass fraction of 94-98 parts, the raw material molybdenum powder has a Fisher particle size of 3-3.5 μm, and the binder has a mass fraction of 2-6 parts.

[0042] By adopting the above technical solution, the strength of the green body is guaranteed by controlling the amount of raw material molybdenum powder and binder, and there are no molybdenum powder shell agglomerates.

[0043] In summary, this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0044] 1. Polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose are selected for cross-linking to form a uniform film on the surface of molybdenum powder. At the same time, the dispersant promotes the uniform dispersion of the binder system, and the addition of lubricant plays a lubricating role during the pressing of molybdenum powder, reducing friction and enhancing the adhesion between molybdenum powder particles, thereby improving the particle strength and flowability of molybdenum powder. By compounding with sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, the loose density of molybdenum powder particles can be increased, which is conducive to the normal distribution of molybdenum powder particle size, thus making the performance of molybdenum powder particles more uniform and the stability of molybdenum end cap products higher.

[0045] 2. 2-Acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid was selected to graft and modify sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, which improved the compatibility of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose with polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinylpyrrolidone, and introduced longer polymer chains into the binder system, further promoting the cross-linking and bridging effect of the binder. This enhanced the hydrogen bonding and adhesion of molybdenum powder particles, thereby further improving the particle strength and resulting in better strength and mechanical properties of the molybdenum end cap product.

[0134] Performance testing

[0135] 1. Fisher particle size of granulated molybdenum powder

[0136] Granulated molybdenum powder was obtained according to the methods of Application Examples 1-8 and Comparative Application Examples 1-2. The obtained granulated molybdenum powder was measured using a Fisher particle size analyzer according to GB / T 3249-2022 "Method for Determination of Fisher Particle Size of Metals and Their Compounds Powders", and the results were recorded in Table 1.

[0137] 2. Hall flow rate of granulated molybdenum powder

[0138] Granulated molybdenum powder was obtained according to the methods of Application Examples 1-8 and Comparative Application Examples 1-2. The obtained granulated molybdenum powder was tested using a Hall flow meter according to GB / T 1482-2022 "Standard Funnel Method (Hall Flow Meter) for Determination of Flowability of Metal Powders", and the results were recorded in Table 1.

[0139] Hall velocity is an indicator of particle flowability; the lower the Hall velocity, the better the flowability.

[0140] 3. Bulk density of granulated molybdenum powder

[0141] Granulated molybdenum powder was obtained according to the methods of Application Examples 1-8 and Comparative Application Examples 1-2. The granulated molybdenum powder was then measured using a Scott volumetric meter according to GB / T1479.2-2011 "Determination of the apparent density of metal powders - Part 2: Scott volumetric method", and the results are recorded in Table 1.

[0142] Loose packing density is a macroscopic indicator of the degree of mixing and uniformity of particles. The higher the loose packing density, the better the uniformity of the particles.

[0143] 1. Appearance of molybdenum end cap

[0144] The molybdenum end caps were obtained according to the methods of Application Examples 1-8 and Comparative Application Examples 1-2. The surface of the molybdenum end caps was observed to see if they were flat and if there were any defects. The results were recorded in Table 1.

[0145] 2. Density of molybdenum end caps

[0146] The molybdenum end caps were obtained according to the methods of Application Examples 1-8 and Comparative Application Examples 1-2. The density of the molybdenum end caps was measured using the Archimedes displacement method, and the results are recorded in Table 1.

[0147] Table 1

[0148]

[0149] Results analysis:

[0150] As shown in Table 1, Comparative Application Example 1 did not add sodium carboxymethyl cellulose to the binder raw materials, Comparative Application Example 2 did not add polyvinylpyrrolidone to the binder raw materials, and Application Examples 1-3 used a binder made of polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose. Compared with Comparative Application Examples 1-2, the Hall flow rate of the granulated molybdenum powder prepared in Application Examples 1-3 decreased and the bulk density increased, indicating that the granulated molybdenum powder had better flowability, filling properties, and uniformity.

[0151] This is because the use of polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose can form a uniform film on the surface of the raw molybdenum powder. By bridging, the raw molybdenum powder is agglomerated into strong particles, and the size and particle size distribution of the molybdenum powder particles can be controlled, resulting in uniform performance of the molybdenum powder particles. This leads to better pressing performance, and the produced molybdenum end cap products have high density, good strength, a smooth and defect-free appearance, and better stability.

[0152] Application Examples 4-5 specify the types of dispersants and lubricants used. The dispersants selected were polyethylene glycol 2000 and polyethylene glycol 800 in a mass ratio of (0.6-0.8):(1.2-1.4), and sodium stearate was selected as the lubricant. This increased the bulk density of the granulated molybdenum powder, reduced the Hall flow rate, and further improved the flowability and uniformity of the granulated molybdenum powder. The molybdenum powder had a good morphology and less agglomeration, resulting in better molding, higher compact strength, and better density and performance of the molybdenum end cap product.

[0153] Application Examples 6-7 use sodium carboxymethyl cellulose grafted with 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid as a raw material in the adhesive. Introducing 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid segments into the sodium carboxymethyl cellulose molecule improves its compatibility with polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinylpyrrolidone crosslinking, and promotes hydrogen bonding and bridging effects, thereby further improving particle strength, green body density and strength, and ultimately increasing the density of the molybdenum end cap product.

[0154] The embodiments described in this specific implementation are preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
