Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of CBN and particularly relates to a high-purity CBN micro-powder preparation method. BACKGROUND

[0002] Cubic boron nitride and products are widely used in the departments of automobile, machinery, electronics, aviation, aerospace, optical instruments, glass, ceramics, petroleum and geology. With the continuous development of technology and products, diamond micro-powder and products have been fully developed in the application in the fields of 3C, SiC semiconductor processing and photovoltaic. In the prior art, the industrial production of CBN single crystal micro-powder is mainly to synthesize CBN single crystal abrasive particles, then to crush and shape the particles, and to produce the particles by using a special process. The CBN single crystal abrasive particles synthesized by the prior method use active noble metals as catalyst materials, and it is difficult to store and synthesize nitrides, the cost is high, the process flow is complex, and the produced products have high impurity content and low strength. The conversion rate of the prior method is low, about 30-40%, the crystal particle size is large, and the particle size is about 100 mesh, which is not suitable for industrial batch production of single crystal micro-powder. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a high-purity CBN micro-powder preparation method with high purity, high grinding efficiency, high wear resistance and high thermal stability. SUMMARY

[0003] The application aims to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a high-purity CBN micro-powder preparation method with high purity, high wear resistance and high thermal stability.

[0004] The application is achieved in the following manner. The high-purity CBN micro-powder preparation method comprises the following steps:

[0005] Step 1: mix dehydrated borax with urea, heat and react in an ammonia gas flow, purify the reaction product to obtain boron nitride;

[0006] Step 2: mix 200-mesh anhydrous borax with urea at a molar ratio of 1:2.3-2.5 to generate an intermediate of borax and urea;

[0007] Step 3: cool and crush the intermediate to 300-350 mesh, press into blocks on a press with a mold, and then send into a nitriding furnace to react in an ammonia gas flow for about 6-8 h; then stop heating, pass in ammonia, and stop passing in ammonia when the furnace temperature cools to below 300-400℃, and continue to cool to an appropriate temperature;

[0008] Step 4: take out the boron nitride crude product, crush to 200 mesh, soak in dilute acid for two times, each time for about 12-15 h, then wash with deionized water until neutral, filter, dry, crush, and obtain boron nitride products with a purity of 95%-98%.

[0009] Step 5: According to the weight ratio, 2-15 parts of catalyst, 80-93 parts of HBN material and 0.2-4.5 parts of catalytic additive are mixed on a three-dimensional mixer for 10 hours;

[0010] Step 6: The mixed material is sealed and subjected to static pressure and granulation, and then pressed into a synthetic column of a certain size. The synthetic column is loaded into a vacuum reduction furnace for reduction by using a stepwise reduction process. The reduction temperature ranges from 1150 to 1200°C, and the reduction time is not less than 6 hours. The reduced synthetic column is vacuum packaged for use;

[0011] Step 7: The synthetic column formed in the previous step is loaded into a leaf talc block mechanism to form a synthetic block, which is then loaded into the high-pressure chamber of a six-surface press and pressurized to 3-7 GPa. The temperature is heated to 1200-1400°C, and the duration is 4-8 hours. The high-pressure synthetic block sample is obtained;

[0012] Step 8: The high-pressure synthetic block sample obtained by high-temperature and high-pressure synthesis is crushed by knocking, and then the crushed material is placed in a ball mill tank and a certain amount of ball milling medium and dry ball milling reagent are added, and the tank is covered;

[0013] Step 9: The ball mill tank is placed in the ball mill, and the rotation speed is adjusted to 400 rpm. The rotation time is 10 hours, and the rotation is alternately operated;

[0014] Step 10: After the ball mill stops working, the ball mill tank is opened. The mixture in the ball mill tank is completely caked and attached to the tank wall. A certain amount of deionized water is added to wet the mixture in the ball mill tank. The mixture is softened and dispersed in the deionized water. The pH is measured to be about 8. After 2 hours of water bath ultrasonic treatment, the liquid mixture is transferred to a dialysis belt for dialysis to remove urea. After a period of water bath dialysis at 35°C, centrifugal treatment is performed at 3000 rpm for 30 minutes;

[0015] Step 11: Since the CBN single crystal has a high density, it is precipitated at the bottom of the container. The solution in the container is filtered out, and water boiling is performed with deionized water for 4-6 times to remove most of the cubic boron nitride powder;

[0016] Step 12: Then the CBN collected at the bottom of the container is boiled in a strong alkali solution for 20-30 minutes, and then washed with deionized water to remove residual cubic boron nitride powder. The CBN collected at the bottom of the container is then boiled in a strong acid solution for 20-30 minutes, and then repeatedly washed with deionized water to remove residual metal impurities;

[0017] Step 13: The obtained CBN is then dried in an oven at 110-140℃ for 8h, and the pure CBN is shaped, screened and selected to obtain CBN crystal powder.

[0018] The reaction formula of step 1 is: Na2B4O7+2(NH2)2CO→4BN+Na2O+4H2O+2CO2.

[0019] The specific step of step 2 is: 200 mesh anhydrous borax is mixed with urea at a molar ratio of 1:2.3-2.5. Since urea contains a small amount of free water, it is very easy to form blocks and not easy to mix. Therefore, it needs to be dried at 100℃ before mixing, and then crushed to 200 mesh. The mixed material is then placed in a reactor at a temperature of 200-400℃ for condensation reaction for about 3-5h to generate borax and urea intermediates.

[0020] The temperature condition for the reaction in step 3 is 800-1050℃ or 1000-1200℃.

[0021] The catalyst in step 5 is one of alkali metal, alkaline earth metal and its nitride catalyst, aluminum-based alloy catalyst, and water catalyst.

[0022] The alkali metal, alkaline earth metal and its nitride catalyst is Ca3B2N4; the aluminum-based alloy catalyst is one of Al-Si, Al-Ni, Al-Cr, Al-Mn and Al-Co.

[0023] The catalytic additive in step 5 is one or more of Al, La and B4C, and the purity of each is above 99.99%.

[0024] The ball milling medium in step 8 is zirconia ball, and the dry ball milling agent is urea.

[0025] The ball mill in step 9 is a planetary ball mill for mechanical ball milling.

[0026] The alkali treatment of cubic boron nitride and pyrophyllite in step 12 is: low-temperature molten K and Na metal hydroxide can dissolve cubic boron nitride without affecting CBN; to prevent CBN corrosion at high temperature, a mixed alkali of NaOH: KOH=1:2 by mass can be used to reduce the melting point; after alkali treatment, the dissolved substances are washed away with deionized water, and then acid washed to neutral, to obtain CBN.

[0027] The application has the advantages that: the application is a high-purity CBN micro-powder preparation method, in which high-quality catalyst is used to meet the kinetic condition, and the catalyst in a molten state is dissolved in HBN under stable high temperature to meet the stable thermodynamic condition, i.e., stable P-T condition, and then CBN crystals are precipitated, and the crystal nucleus gradually grows under appropriate high temperature and high pressure condition; the purification process of the method can effectively remove most of the cubic boron nitride powder, and then remove the residual cubic boron nitride powder through alkali treatment, and remove the residual metal impurities through acid treatment, so that more pure cubic boron nitride micro-powder is obtained, i.e., the purity of the boron nitride product is 95%-98%; the CBN prepared by the method is black cubic boron nitride micro-powder, which is commonly used in resin binder system, abrasive oil stone, etc.; the method has high CBN conversion rate, fine particle size, and a yield of about 45%, simplifies the production process of CBN single crystal micro-powder, reduces the synthesis cost and synthesis pressure condition, and has good economic and social benefits; the CBN micro-powder product prepared by the method has high purity, high wear resistance, and high thermal stability, and is used for the production of PCBN composite sheet and polycrystalline sintered body with longer service life; the application has the advantages of high purity, high wear resistance, and high thermal stability.

Step 9: Then, place the obtained CBN in an oven at 110-140℃ and dry it for 8 hours. The dried powder is then sieved and finely processed to remove impurities and unacceptable particles, thereby obtaining CBN crystal micro powder. The catalyst used in step 3 is one of alkali metal, alkaline earth metal and their nitride catalysts, aluminum-based alloy catalysts, and water catalysts. The catalytic additive in step 3 is one or more of Al, La, and B4C, and its purity is above 99.99%.
