Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of ceramic materials, and relates to a zirconia ceramic, and more particularly to a rare earth-doped zirconia pressure transmission medium, its preparation method and application. Background Technology

[0002] Zirconia ceramics possess advantages such as high toughness, high flexural strength, high wear resistance, excellent thermal insulation properties, and a thermal expansion coefficient close to that of steel, making them widely used in the field of structural ceramics. Furthermore, their excellent high-temperature resistance allows them to be used as induction heating tubes, refractory materials, and heating elements. With a high melting point (approximately 2700℃ under normal pressure) and excellent thermal insulation properties, zirconia is often used as a thermal insulation material under high-temperature and high-pressure conditions. However, pure zirconia undergoes a reversible phase transformation from a monoclinic phase (m) to a tetragonal phase (t) at 1170℃. That is, above 1170℃, the m phase ZrO2 transforms into the t phase ZrO2. Simultaneously, at low temperatures, the t phase ZrO2 also transforms back into the m phase, accompanied by a 5% volume change during the phase transformation, which easily causes cracking in the material. This limits the use of zirconia ceramics as a thermal insulation material under high-temperature conditions.

[0003] Currently, to overcome the problem of phase transformation volume change cracking in zirconia at high temperatures, calcium oxide and magnesium oxide are typically added as stabilizers to zirconia ceramics. This stabilizes the zirconia in the tetragonal (t) and cubic (c) phases after high-temperature sintering, preventing phase transformation during heating and thus improving the material's stability. With the increasing demand for thermal insulation performance, zirconia with lower thermal conductivity and superior insulation properties has become an important development direction, and rare earth doping is one of the key methods.

[0004] Meanwhile, zirconia, as an important thermal insulation material, has wide applications in high-temperature and high-pressure experiments. The preparation of zirconia materials that simultaneously possess high thermal insulation and excellent pressure transmission properties is crucial for these experiments. Currently, commonly used zirconia materials in high-temperature and high-pressure experiments include imported Japanese zirconia and domestically produced CaO-stabilized zirconia. Japanese zirconia is expensive, while domestically produced CaO-stabilized zirconia suffers from severe ceramization and high structural strength during use, leading to difficulties in processing and significant pressure loading consumption during high-pressure experiments, resulting in lower achievable chamber pressures. This invention discloses a method using yttrium oxide and cerium oxide to prepare rare-earth co-doped zirconia materials to meet the performance requirements of zirconia ceramic materials for temperature insulation and pressure transmission in high-temperature and high-pressure experiments. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In high-temperature and high-pressure experiments, achieving higher temperatures within the cavity requires insulation materials with superior thermal insulation properties. Currently, domestically produced calcium oxide-stabilized zirconia is commonly used in high-temperature and high-pressure experiments. However, using calcium oxide-stabilized zirconia as an insulation and pressure-transfer medium in high-temperature and high-pressure experiments faces two major problems: low pressure transmission efficiency and low temperature generation efficiency, which limit the maximum temperature and pressure conditions achievable in high-temperature and high-pressure experiments. To address these technical problems, this invention provides a rare-earth-doped zirconia pressure-transfer medium and its preparation method. By using rare-earth doping, the phonon scattering of zirconia ceramics is intensified, thereby improving its thermal insulation performance. Simultaneously, by employing different particle sizes of rare-earth zirconia ceramics in varying proportions, the strength and density of the rare-earth zirconia ceramics are improved, resulting in a rare-earth zirconia ceramic with an optimal compression ratio during the pressurization process in high-temperature and high-pressure experiments. This reduces pressure loss at the sealing edges, allowing more pressure to be transferred to the sample cavity and increasing the internal pressure of the cavity.

[0006] Another object of the present invention is to provide the application of the above-mentioned rare earth-doped zirconium oxide pressure transmission medium.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions.

[0008] This invention provides a method for preparing a rare-earth-doped zirconium oxide pressure-transmitting medium, which includes the following steps:

[0009] (1) Mixing

[0010] First, yttrium oxide and zirconium oxide powders are mixed evenly to obtain yttrium oxide-doped zirconium oxide powder; then, the yttrium oxide-doped zirconium oxide powder is mixed evenly with cerium oxide powder to obtain rare earth co-doped zirconium oxide powder; the mass fraction of yttrium oxide powder in the yttrium oxide-doped zirconium oxide powder is 3%-12%; the mass fraction of cerium oxide powder in the rare earth co-doped zirconium oxide powder is 10%-50%.

[0011] (2) Initial sintering

[0012] Rare earth co-doped zirconium oxide powder was pressed into shape under 40MPa-80MPa conditions to obtain a first rare earth co-doped zirconium oxide blank; then the pressed first rare earth co-doped zirconium oxide blank was sintered at 1200℃-1500℃ for 2h-10h to obtain the first sintered product.

[0013] (3) Molding and sintering

[0014] The initial sintering product is crushed, ground, and sieved to obtain rare earth co-doped zirconia particles of different sizes. The rare earth co-doped zirconia particles of different sizes are then mixed evenly and added to a molding die. The die is then pressed at 300 MPa-500 MPa to obtain a second rare earth co-doped zirconia preform. The pressed second rare earth co-doped zirconia preform is then sintered at 1100℃-1600℃ for 2-10 hours to obtain rare earth co-doped zirconia ceramic.

[0015] In step (1) above, the yttrium oxide powder has a particle size of 50nm-500nm; the cerium oxide powder has a particle size of 50nm-500nm; the yttrium oxide and zirconium oxide powders are mixed for 4h-12h; and the yttrium-doped zirconium oxide powder is mixed with cerium oxide for 4h-12h.

[0016] In step (2) above, the sintering heating rate is 100℃ / h-300℃ / h; after sintering, the temperature is lowered to below 100℃, and the cooling rate is 100℃ / h-200℃ / h.

[0017] In step (3) above, the rare earth co-doped zirconia particles of different sizes include 20-50 mesh, 50-100 mesh, and larger than 100 mesh. The rare earth co-doped zirconia particles of different sizes are mixed evenly in a mass ratio of 20-50 mesh: 50-100 mesh: larger than 100 mesh = (7-4):(2-4):(1-2) for 4-12 hours; then the mixture is added to a molding die and pressed into shape. During the sintering process of the pressed second rare earth co-doped zirconia blank, the sintering heating rate is 100℃ / h-300℃ / h; after sintering, the temperature is lowered to below 100℃ at a cooling rate of 100℃ / h-200℃ / h.

[0018] The present invention also provides a rare earth-doped zirconium oxide pressure-transmitting medium prepared by the above method.

[0019] The present invention also provides the application of the above-mentioned rare earth-doped zirconium oxide pressure transmission medium as a heat-insulating pressure transmission medium.

[0020] This invention prepares zirconia ceramics with both high thermal insulation and pressure transmission properties by doping yttrium oxide and cerium oxide into zirconia. Compared with the prior art, this invention has the following advantages:

[0021] 1) This invention utilizes yttrium and cerium to replace zirconium atoms in the zirconium oxide lattice, forming a solid solution and generating point defects of different types and mechanisms within the zirconium oxide. These point defects mainly exist in the form of oxygen vacancies. Oxygen vacancy defects cause phonon scattering, thereby reducing phonon heat transfer. This results in rare-earth co-doped zirconium oxide having a lower thermal conductivity, achieving a higher cavity temperature under the same heating power loading compared to traditional domestically produced zirconium oxide. Furthermore, the incorporation of cerium oxide and yttrium oxide multi-element rare-earth stabilizers enhances the thermal stability of the zirconium oxide. Therefore, the rare-earth zirconium oxide prepared by the method of this invention exhibits superior thermal insulation performance and thermal stability.

[0022] 2) This invention uses mixed-size rare-earth co-doped zirconia particles for proportioning, with smaller-size zirconia particles filling the gaps between larger-size zirconia particles, resulting in high density of the prepared zirconia trench ceramic material. By controlling the sintering temperature, the bonding and growth between zirconia ceramic grains are controlled, reducing its ceramization degree, and the prepared zirconia ceramic assembly exhibits good rheological properties during pressure loading, reducing the consumption of loading pressure in the zirconia. The suitable density allows for a good fit between the zirconia and pyrophyllite compression ratios in high-temperature and high-pressure experiments, enabling the sample cavity pressure to approach the calibration pressure of the solid pyrophyllite block as closely as possible, thus achieving higher pressure conditions in high-temperature and high-pressure experiments.

[0032] The technical solutions of various embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] This invention prepares zirconia ceramic materials with excellent thermal conductivity and improved pressure transmission performance by doping zirconia with different proportions of rare earth oxides and using different particle sizes. These materials are suitable for use as a heat-insulating and pressure-transmitting medium in high-temperature and high-pressure experiments to achieve higher temperature and pressure conditions. The temperature at the center of the sample was measured under the same power in a high-temperature and high-pressure generating device (a six-sided hinged press), thus comparing the heat-insulating performance of zirconia with different doping ratios. Furthermore, the internal pressure of the high-temperature and high-pressure experimental chamber was calibrated using the silver melting point method, revealing the differences in pressure transmission performance between zirconia prepared by different methods and traditional domestically produced zirconia.

[0138] This comparative example provides a method for preparing Japanese zirconia, the steps of which are as follows:

[0139] (1) Initial sintering

[0140] Using a 48mm*48mm mold, 100g of Japanese zirconia powder (purchased from Worgrent, particle size 10μm) was loaded into the mold. A four-column press was used to press the Japanese zirconia powder into blocks at a pressure of 60MPa.

[0146] After sintering, Japanese zirconia ceramics are obtained, which can then be processed into the required shape using a carving machine or lathe for use in high-temperature and high-pressure experiments.

[0147] (I) Characterization of Ceramic Structure

[0148] XRD analysis was performed on the 25% CeO2-8Y stabilized zirconium oxide prepared in Example 3. The results are as follows: Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the prepared 25% CeO2-8Y stabilized zirconia is a c phase (cubic phase) and has good thermal stability at high temperatures.

[0149] SEM analysis was performed on the 25% CeO2-8Y stabilized zirconium oxide prepared in Example 3. The results are as follows: Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the initial powder of the zirconia ceramic material prepared by this method is mixed with different particle sizes. Through electron microscopy, it can be seen that the large-size zirconia and small-size zirconia are evenly distributed, and the gaps between the large-size particles are filled by the small-size zirconia, thus making the prepared zirconia ceramic more dense.

[0150] Images of 25% CeO2-8Y stabilized zirconia prepared in Example 3, domestically produced CaO stabilized zirconia ceramics, and Japanese zirconia ceramics were collected, as shown below. Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the domestically produced zirconia is stabilized using CaO, resulting in a white ceramic material. The rare-earth zirconia prepared by the method of this invention uses cerium oxide as a dopant, resulting in a pale yellow cerium oxide powder and consequently, pale yellow zirconia ceramics. Japanese zirconia, on the other hand, is yellow.

[0151] The density of the ceramic samples prepared in Examples 1-4, Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 was measured, and the results are shown in Table 1.

[0152] Table 1 Ceramic Density

[0153]

[0154] As can be seen from Table 1, the rare earth co-doped zirconia ceramics prepared by the method of the present invention have high density.

[0155] (II) Characterization of ceramic thermal insulation performance

[0156] Here, a high-temperature and high-pressure generator (a six-sided top hinged press) measures the temperature at the center of the sample under the same power, thereby obtaining a comparison of the thermal insulation performance of zirconia under different doping ratios. Figure 4 The high-temperature and high-pressure experimental assembly is given. A graphite layer 2 is set inside the zirconia ceramic 1. An h-BN layer (hexagonal boron nitride) is set between the graphite layer 2 and the sample cavity 3. The sample cavity is filled with sample according to experimental needs. Steel plugs 4 are loaded at both ends of the zirconia ceramic 1. The zirconia ceramic 1 is sealed with pyrophyllite 5.

[0157] The experimental procedure was as follows: graphite powder was pressed into a diameter of... A block with a height (H) of 8.0 mm was placed in the sample chamber and assembled according to the previous high-temperature and high-pressure experimental assembly. Holes were drilled in the high-temperature and high-pressure experimental assembly, and thermocouples were inserted through the holes after being wrapped with alumina ceramic tubes, ensuring their nodes were centered in the sample chamber. Simultaneously, a pressure of 5.5 GPa was applied to the experimental assembly using a high-temperature and high-pressure generator, and the center temperature of the sample chamber was measured under these conditions. Thermoelectric potential signals from the thermocouples were acquired using a multi-channel recorder and converted into corresponding temperature data, thus obtaining the internal temperature of the chamber.

[0158] The changes in the internal components of the zirconia ceramic cavity prepared in Examples 4, 1, and 2 with heating power are as follows: Figure 5As shown in the figure, compared with Japanese zirconia and domestic CaO-stabilized zirconia, the temperature generation efficiency is increased by approximately 15.2% and 9.3% respectively under the same heating power (3.3 kW) (the temperature inside the 50% CeO2-8Y stabilized zirconia ceramic cavity is 2164℃, the temperature inside the Japanese zirconia ceramic cavity is 1878℃, and the temperature inside the domestic CaO-stabilized zirconia ceramic cavity is 1980℃).

[0159] The changes in internal pairings within the zirconia ceramic cavity prepared in Examples 1-4 with heating power are as follows: Figure 6 As shown in the figure, under the same heating power (greater than 2.0 kW), the temperature inside the zirconia ceramic cavity gradually increases with the increase of cerium oxide content. Within the measurement range, the 50% CeO2-8Y stabilized zirconia ceramic cavity has the highest temperature. Therefore, cerium oxide doping effectively improves the temperature generation efficiency and enhances the thermal insulation performance of zirconia.

[0160] This is because cerium atoms replace zirconium atoms in the zirconium oxide lattice during doping. Since the radius of a cerium atom is larger than that of a zirconium atom, phonon scattering is intensified at high temperatures, inhibiting heat conduction and resulting in superior thermal insulation performance of zirconium oxide. Compared to traditional zirconium oxide insulation materials, this invention can achieve a 15% increase in the efficiency of temperature generation inside a high-temperature, high-pressure cavity at the same power.

[0161] (III) Characterization of Ceramic Pressure Transmission Performance

[0162] The high-temperature, high-pressure generating device used in the test was as described above. Pressure calibration was performed using a six-sided hinged press employing the silver melting point method.

[0163] The principle behind using the silver melting point method for cavity pressure calibration is as follows: Silver has different melting points under different pressures, and these melting points increase with increasing pressure. Therefore, by measuring the melting point of silver under specific conditions, the corresponding cavity temperature can be obtained.

[0164] The specific method is as follows:

[0165] 2.0g of sample (Ag) was weighed and pre-pressed using an 8.0mm diameter mold under 10MPa hydraulic pressure (sample pressure 438MPa) with a jack. Molding dimensions: diameter... Height H = 4.0 mm, pre-compacted density: 9.94 g / cm³ 3 Theoretical density 10.5 g / cm³ 3 Pre-compaction density: 94.73%.

[0166] Place the formed Ag sample into the sample chamber, and then assemble it according to the previous high temperature and high pressure experiment assembly. Use a bench drill to make holes and insert thermocouples.

[0167] After assembly, set the pressure and temperature process curves and conduct experiments. Once the pressure reaches the set values ​​of 30MPa, 40MPa, and 50MPa and remains stable, start heating and turn on the multi-channel recorder (set the thermocouple type to "W") to record the temperature data.

[0168] The Ag melting point test results for 25% CeO2-8Y stabilized zirconia ceramics and domestically produced CaO stabilized zirconia ceramics commonly used in high-temperature and high-pressure experiments in China are as follows: Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown. Then, the Ag point is converted into the corresponding internal pressure of the cavity, and the result is as follows. Figure 9 As shown in Table 2.

[0169] The internal pressures of the cavity using domestically produced zirconia as the pressure transmission medium were measured under different system hydraulic pressures of 30 MPa, 40 MPa, and 50 MPa: 2.7 GPa, 3.5 GPa, and 4.2 GPa, respectively. The internal pressures of the cavity using rare-earth zirconia prepared in Example 3 of this invention as the pressure transmission medium were 3.3 GPa, 4.4 GPa, and 5.1 GPa, respectively. The highest pressure increase was approximately 0.9 GPa, representing a 21.4% improvement in pressure transmission performance. Therefore, this invention exhibits a higher pressure generation efficiency compared to commonly used domestic calcium oxide-stabilized zirconia materials; that is, under the same system hydraulic pressure loading conditions, the internal pressure of the cavity is significantly increased. Thus, the rare-earth co-doped zirconia ceramic prepared in this invention has superior pressure transmission performance compared to domestically produced CaO-stabilized zirconia commonly used in high-temperature and high-pressure experiments in China.

[0170] Table 2 Comparison of Pressure Generation Efficiency between Rare Earth Doped Zirconia and Domestically Produced Zirconia

[0171]

[0172] Therefore, this invention uses a mixture of rare-earth co-doped zirconia particles of varying particle sizes for formulation. Smaller zirconia particles fill the voids between larger zirconia particles, resulting in a higher density in the prepared zirconia trench ceramic material. Furthermore, by controlling the sintering temperature, the bonding and growth between zirconia ceramic grains are controlled, reducing its ceramization degree. This results in better rheological properties of the prepared zirconia ceramic assembly during pressure loading, minimizing pressure loss within the zirconia. Moreover, using different proportions of rare-earth zirconia ceramic particles improves the strength and density of the rare-earth zirconia ceramic, ensuring that the high-temperature, high-pressure experimental assembly assembled from rare-earth zirconia ceramics exhibits an optimal compression ratio during high-temperature, high-pressure testing. This reduces pressure loss at the sealing edges, allowing more pressure to be transmitted to the sample cavity and increasing the internal pressure within the cavity.
