Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of the preparation of quartz glass, and particularly to a black quartz glass material and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Quartz glass, with its high purity, low coefficient of thermal expansion, good chemical stability, high electric breakdown strength, excellent high-temperature resistance performance and optical properties, is widely used in the manufacturing of semiconductors, electric light sources, semiconductor communication devices, lasers, optical instruments, laboratory instruments, electrical equipment, medical equipment, and high-temperature and corrosion-resistant chemical instruments, as well as industrial fields such as chemical engineering, electronics, metallurgy, building materials, and national defense. However, traditional quartz glass mostly appears colorless and transparent or translucent, and in specific application scenarios such as light-shielding components of optical instruments and optical elements for absorbing light in specific wavelength bands, it cannot meet the actual requirements.

[0003] Currently, the preparation of colored quartz glass is mostly achieved by adding colorants. However, for black quartz glass, there are many problems in the existing preparation technologies. The conventional method of adding black color masterbatch not only easily leads to poor color uniformity but also has poor compatibility between the color masterbatch and the quartz glass matrix, affecting the overall performance of the glass. The technology of preparing black quartz glass by adding trace elements is not yet mature, facing problems such as uneven dispersion of trace elements and difficult precise control of chemical reactions, resulting in unstable optical properties of the prepared black quartz glass, complex preparation processes, and high costs, which severely limit its large-scale production and application.

[0004] To solve the above problems, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN116323503A discloses a black quartz glass, a manufacturing method of the black quartz glass, and a product including a black quartz glass component using the above black quartz glass. The above black quartz glass has a composition of 63% to 65% by mass of SiO2, 18% to 24% by mass of TiO2, and 12% to 17% by mass of Al2O3 (the total of SiO2, TiO2, and Al2O3 is 100% by mass). The above manufacturing method includes: mixing 63% to 65% by mass of SiO2 powder, 18% to 24% by mass of TiO2 powder, and 12% to 17% by mass of Al2O3 powder, filling the mixed powder into a mold, and then melting it at a maximum temperature of 1700°C to 1900°C in an oxygen-free atmosphere and cooling it to room temperature to obtain the above black quartz glass. This invention provides a black quartz glass with excellent light-shielding properties, no pollution during the use process, sufficient color uniformity during large-scale production, and capable of manufacturing large ingots, a method for manufacturing the black quartz glass with excellent productivity even for large ingots, and a black quartz glass product using the above black quartz glass. However, its color uniformity and optical property stability still need to be further improved.

[0005] It can be seen that developing a black quartz glass material with good color uniformity, stable optical properties, simple preparation process, and low coefficient of thermal expansion, as well as its preparation method, meets the market demand, has broad market value and application prospects, and is of great significance for promoting the development of the black quartz glass material field.
