Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of ceramic material processing, and specifically to a method for metallizing high-strength ceramics. Background Technology

[0002] Alumina ceramics are characterized by high strength, good corrosion resistance, and excellent insulation. They are widely used in new energy vehicles, LEDs, semiconductors and other fields, serving functions such as sealing, heat conduction, and structural support.

[0003] When alumina ceramics are used to manufacture sealing ceramic devices for new energy vehicles, they need to be connected to metal parts. However, because ceramics are good insulating materials, ordinary solders cannot wet them, thus preventing direct sealing with metal materials. The solution is to coat the alumina ceramic surface with a molybdenum-manganese metal film, and then sinter it in a nitrogen-hydrogen mixed atmosphere to fuse the alumina ceramic and the molybdenum-manganese metal film together. Subsequently, electroplating, brazing, and other processes are used to connect the alumina ceramic and the metal part. This process of sealing the ceramic with a metal film, forming a metal film on the ceramic surface, is called metallization, also known as primary metallization. Its main mechanism utilizes the glass phase migration and penetration of the ceramic microstructure and the powder metallurgy sintering mechanism to bond the metal material to the ceramic.

[0004] As the performance requirements of new energy vehicles increase, the strength requirements for alumina ceramic packaged devices are also becoming more stringent. To improve the strength of alumina ceramic packaged devices, it is necessary to reduce the grain size of alumina ceramic. However, as the grain size of alumina ceramic decreases, the glass phase osmotic pressure of alumina ceramic on the molybdenum-manganese metal film layer decreases during molybdenum-manganese metallization. This leads to a reduction in the amount of glass phase permeating into the molybdenum-manganese layer, ultimately resulting in a decrease in the strength of ceramic metallization. Consequently, the device is prone to defects such as cracking after brazing. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for high-strength ceramic metallization that can ensure both the strength of the alumina ceramic and the sealing strength between the ceramic and the metal part.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the solution of the present invention is:

[0007] A method for metallizing high-strength ceramics includes the following steps:

[0008] Step 1: Preparation of ceramic grain growth agent:

[0009] First, 75wt% to 85wt% of metal oxide powder A, 5wt% to 10wt% of binder A and 5wt% to 20wt% of solvent A are premixed, and then ground and dispersed to obtain the ceramic grain growth agent.

[0010] Step 2: Preparation of metallized ink:

[0011] Then, 50wt%–65wt% molybdenum powder, 10wt%–15wt% manganese powder, 1.0wt%–4.0wt% metal oxide powder B, 20wt%–33wt% solvent B, and 0.3wt%–1.0wt% dispersant A are ball-milled and mixed. After mixing, the mixture is dried to obtain a mixed solid. Then, 70wt%–80wt% of the mixed solid, 5wt%–10wt% binder A, and 10wt%–25wt% solvent A are premixed and then ground to obtain the metallized ink.

[0012] Step 3, Metallization and One-Time Sintering:

[0013] Then, the ceramic grain growth agent prepared in step 1 is coated on the metallization site of the alumina ceramic matrix, and sintered at 1500-1600℃ for 0.5-2h to obtain an alumina ceramic matrix with a double-layer grain structure.

[0014] Step 4, Metallization secondary sintering:

[0015] Finally, the metallized ink prepared in step 2 is coated onto an alumina ceramic substrate with a double-layer grain structure, and sintered at 1400-1500°C under a nitrogen-hydrogen mixed atmosphere for 0.5-2 hours to complete the metallization process of the alumina ceramic substrate and obtain a high-strength alumina ceramic with a metallized ink layer.

[0016] In step 1, the metal oxide powder A is one of titanium dioxide, chromium trioxide and manganese oxide, the binder A is one of ethyl cellulose, nitrocellulose and PVB, and the solvent A is one of terpineol, diethylene glycol butyl ether acetate and dihydroterpineol acetate.

[0017] In step 2, the metal oxide powder B is one of titanium dioxide and vanadium pentoxide, the solvent B is one of anhydrous ethanol, isopropanol and ethyl acetate, the dispersant A is one of BYK-111 and BYK-110, the binder A is one of ethyl cellulose, nitrocellulose and PVB, and the solvent A is one of terpineol, diethylene glycol butyl ether acetate and dihydroterpineol acetate.

[0018] In step 1, the particle size of the metal oxide powder A is 0.5-1 μm; in step 2, the particle size of the molybdenum powder is 1.5-3.0 μm; the particle size of the manganese powder is 1.0-3.0 μm; and the particle size of the metal oxide powder B is 0.5-2 μm.

[0019] In step 2, the drying temperature is 80-100℃, and the drying time is 1-3 hours.

[0020] In step 3, the coating method is screen printing or spraying, and the coating thickness is 5-20 μm.

[0021] In step 4, the coating method is screen printing or spraying, and the coating thickness is 10-35 μm.

[0022] The preparation process of the alumina ceramic matrix includes the following steps:

[0023] S1. According to the formula, first put 50wt% to 60wt% alumina powder, 3wt% to 6wt% sintering aid, 0.2wt% to 0.6wt% dispersant B and 35wt% to 45wt% deionized water into a horizontal ball mill for mixing and dispersion to obtain an alumina suspension. The ball mill speed is 20 to 35 rpm and the ball milling time is 12 to 24 hours.

[0024] S2. Then, binder B and plasticizer are added to the alumina suspension and ball-milled to obtain alumina slurry. The ball mill speed is 20-35 rpm and the ball milling time is 2-6 hours.

[0025] The amount of binder B added is 1.0% to 3.0% of the mass of alumina powder, and the amount of plasticizer added is 0.5% to 1.5% of the amount of binder B added.

[0026] S3. Then, the alumina slurry is spray-granulated to obtain alumina granulated powder, which is then pressed into a green body and finally sintered to obtain the alumina ceramic matrix.

[0027] The alumina powder has a particle size of 1.0–3.0 μm. The sintering aid includes 14 wt%–45 wt% SiO2, 15 wt%–23 wt% CaCO3, and 33 wt%–72 wt% talc. The dispersant B is one of ammonium polycarboxylate and maleic anhydride-acrylate copolymer. The binder B is one of polyvinyl alcohol and water-soluble acrylic resin. The plasticizer is one or both of polyethylene glycol and glycerol.

[0028] The spray granulation process is as follows: Alumina slurry is placed into a centrifugal spray granulation tower, and the centrifugal spray granulation conditions are set as follows: inlet air temperature 250~280℃, outlet air temperature 100~110℃, tower pressure -10~50Pa, and alumina granulated powder is obtained by spray granulation.

[0029] The pressing and molding process is as follows: Alumina granulated powder is pressed into a blank using a dry pressing machine, with a pressing pressure of 1–3 t / cm². 2.

[0030] The sintering process is as follows: the green blank is placed in an air sintering furnace for sintering at a temperature of 1580-1650℃ and held for 1-3 hours to obtain the alumina ceramic matrix.

[0031] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention provides a method for high-strength ceramic metallization, which innovatively obtains a ceramic grain growth agent. The ceramic grain growth agent comprises 75wt% to 85wt% metal oxide powder A, 5wt% to 10wt% binder A, and 5wt% to 20wt% solvent A. The metal oxide powder A is one of titanium dioxide, chromium trioxide, and manganese oxide. The binder A is one of ethyl cellulose, nitrocellulose, and PVB. The solvent A is one of terpineol, diethylene glycol butyl ether acetate, and dihydroterpineol acetate.

[0032] By first coating the alumina ceramic matrix with a ceramic grain growth agent at the locations requiring metallization, and then sintering, this specially formulated ceramic grain growth agent promotes grain growth on the surface of the ceramic matrix, forming coarse grains. This results in a double-layer structure of fine and coarse grains on the ceramic matrix. The fine grains in the inner layer enhance the strength of the ceramic matrix, while the coarse grains on the surface increase the osmotic pressure of the glass phase in the ceramic matrix during subsequent metallization sintering. This promotes the penetration of the glass phase into the metallization ink layer, improving the bonding strength between the metallization ink layer and the ceramic matrix, thereby ensuring the sealing strength between the ceramic matrix and the metal part.
