Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of amorphous multi-component tungsten-nickel-based alloy production technology, specifically to amorphous multi-component tungsten-nickel-based alloys, their preparation methods, and applications. Background Technology

[0002] Amorphous alloys, also known as metallic glasses, are special alloy materials whose internal atomic arrangement lacks a long-range ordered structure. Amorphous multi-component tungsten-nickel-based alloys, with tungsten and nickel as the main components and other alloying elements added to form a multi-component system, combine the high hardness, wear resistance, and high-temperature oxidation resistance of metallic tungsten with the unique isotropy, high toughness, and excellent corrosion resistance of amorphous alloys. This type of alloy lacks crystal defects such as grain boundaries and dislocations, giving it properties in mechanical, electrical, and magnetic fields that differ from traditional crystalline alloys. For example, it exhibits uniform hardness, excellent fatigue resistance, low magnetic permeability, and good electrical conductivity, making it a promising candidate for applications in numerous fields.

[0003] With the rapid development of 5G communication technology, microwave ceramic substrates have become a core material for 5G base station RF modules due to their advantages such as high dielectric constant, low dielectric loss, and good thermal stability. However, in practical applications, their dielectric loss increases significantly at high frequencies (>5GHz), with tanδ values ​​often exceeding 0.01, leading to severe signal attenuation during transmission and seriously affecting communication quality and efficiency. Simultaneously, with the increase in power density of 5G base stations, heat dissipation requirements have increased dramatically. The thermal conductivity of traditional metal coatings is generally below 30W / m·K, far from matching the approximately 30W / m·K thermal conductivity of Al2O3 ceramic substrates. Heat accumulation can easily cause device performance degradation or even failure.

[0004] Furthermore, the interface bonding between the coating and the ceramic substrate presents a significant problem. Due to the difference in the coefficients of thermal expansion of the materials, the bonding strength between conventional coatings and the substrate is low, with a critical scratch load of less than 20N. Under conditions such as high and low temperature cycling, thermal stress can easily lead to coating cracking and peeling, compromising the shielding function. In terms of environmental adaptability, coatings without pore sealing treatment are prone to oxidation and corrosion of metallic materials in harsh environments such as humidity, heat, and salt spray. After 500 hours of salt spray testing, the corrosion area exceeds 5%, significantly shortening the equipment's service life and increasing maintenance costs. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this invention is to provide an amorphous multi-component tungsten-nickel-based alloy, which greatly improves the amorphous forming ability and dielectric properties (tanδ < 0.005) by optimizing the W / Ni ratio (45-50% W, 30-35% Ni) and introducing B / P / Cr.

[0006] Another objective of this invention is to provide a method for preparing an amorphous multi-component tungsten-nickel-based alloy, which significantly improves its interfacial bonding strength (critical load > 30 N) and corrosion resistance through a Ni transition layer + amorphous alloy layer + AlN protective layer.

After cooling to room temperature, it is cut to obtain the target material.

[0013] (2) Coating deposition:

[0014] ① Using ceramic as a substrate, its surface is sequentially subjected to chemical mechanical polishing, ultrasonic cleaning, ion etching and plasma activation to generate a substrate with a hydroxyl-active surface;

[0018] (3) Post-treatment: The amorphous multi-component tungsten nickel-based alloy substrate is annealed at 280-300℃ for 1 hour in N2 atmosphere, and then sealed with SiO2 by sol-gel method to obtain the amorphous multi-component tungsten nickel-based alloy.

[0019] In step (1), the ball milling mixing conditions are: argon protection, ball-to-material ratio of 5:1, rotation speed of 200 rpm, and time of 6 hours; the cooling rate of hot isostatic pressing sintering is ≤10℃ / min, and an alloy target with a density of ≥98% is obtained after hot isostatic pressing sintering; the cutting conditions are: a disc with a diameter of 100 mm and a thickness of 5 mm, and the surface is polished to Ra<0.1μm.

[0027] The specific method is as follows: In a magnetic stirrer, mix TEOS and ethanol in a certain proportion, stirring at 300 rpm for 10 minutes. Slowly add deionized water and hydrochloric acid (pH=2-3), heat to 60℃, and stir for 2 hours to form a transparent SiO2 sol.

[0104]

[0105]

[0106] The data above show that Example 1 (45% W) has a thermal conductivity of 48 W / m·K and an SE of 68 dB; Example 3 (49% W) has a thermal conductivity of 52 W / m·K and an SE of 70 dB. Increasing the W content improves thermal conductivity, but the dielectric properties need to be balanced (the tanδ of Example 3, at 0.003, is still better than the comparative example). With 48% W and 32% Ni, the thermal conductivity is 55 W / m·K and the SE is 72 dB, exhibiting the best overall performance. The highest density (>98%) and bonding strength of 35 N were obtained at the median hot isostatic pressing sintering temperature / pressure (Example 2: 1225℃ / 38MPa). Extending the sputtering time to 3.5 hours (Example 3) resulted in an increase in thickness (15 μm) and a slight decrease in SE (70 dB vs. 72 dB in Example 2). Comparative Example 1 (without B / P): Amorphous formation failed (XRD showed crystalline peaks), tanδ increased to 0.015, and SE was only 50 dB. Comparative Example 4 (excessively thick coating): A thickness of 20 μm resulted in enhanced signal reflection, and SE decreased to 55 dB. The coating without Cr showed severe corrosion after 500 h, while the examples did not oxidize, indicating that Cr significantly improves corrosion resistance by forming a Cr2O3 passivation film.
