Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of refractory materials, and in particular to an alumina synthetic fiber felt and an airflow melting preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Alumina fiber is a high-performance ceramic material with excellent mechanical strength, high-temperature resistance, chemical stability, and thermal conductivity. It has a wide range of applications in aerospace, high-temperature filters, thermal insulation materials, the automotive industry, and medical implants. The melt process was initially used primarily to produce polymer fibers and glass fibers, but has since been adapted to produce fibers with lower alumina content (<70%). This method can be used to produce both continuous and short fibers. Inorganic oxides are melted by electrical heating to form a melt, which is then spinnable by controlling its composition and temperature. The target product is then formed through various fiber-forming methods. However, as the alumina content increases, the melt viscosity increases, resulting in poor spinnability and difficulty in control. Therefore, the melt process is currently limited to producing fibers with low alumina contents. These fibers can generally only be used at temperatures below 1200°C, resulting in relatively low fiber quality and insufficient high-temperature resistance, limiting the application of alumina fibers.

[0003] Traditional alumina synthetic fiber felts have limited mechanical strength and toughness under high-temperature conditions, making them prone to crack propagation and fracture, making them difficult to meet practical application requirements. Furthermore, the uneven distribution of internal stress easily leads to stress concentration points, which can trigger cracks and rapidly propagate, leading to material failure. Fibers with high alumina content must not only possess higher temperature resistance but also maintain good mechanical strength, thermal shock resistance, and chemical stability to adapt to more demanding working conditions. To meet the stringent requirements for material properties in high-temperature environments, it is particularly urgent to develop a gas-flow melting method for preparing alumina synthetic fiber felts with high alumina content and excellent high-temperature resistance. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an alumina synthetic fiber felt and a method for preparing the same by airflow melting.

[0005] The present invention provides a method for preparing an alumina synthetic fiber felt by air flow melting, comprising the following steps: (1) Mixing and sol preparation: Alumina powder and rare earth element powder are mixed, the mixed powder is added to the dispersion medium, stirred at room temperature for 1-2 hours, and then stirred at 60°C for 2-3 hours to obtain aluminum sol; Tetrabutyl titanate and / or tetrabutyl zirconate are added to an anhydrous ethanol solution containing a nano-reinforced material, stirred and dissolved to form a mixed solution, and the mixed solution is slowly dripped into the aluminum sol to prepare a composite sol; (2) Preparation of fiber precursor: adding an organic template to the composite sol, stirring it thoroughly to dissolve it completely, and using dry spinning technology to form the composite sol into a fiber precursor; (3) Heat treatment process: The collected fiber precursor is placed in a muffle furnace for pre-sintering, and then transferred to a high-temperature tube furnace for high-temperature sintering to form sintered fibers; (4) Preparation of fiber felt by air flow melting: Using an air flow melting device with a nozzle and a collector, the amount of fiber added is adjusted according to the required felt density. The sintered fibers are blown into the collector by a high-speed air flow, naturally stacked into a randomly distributed fiber network, and naturally cooled to room temperature to obtain alumina synthetic fiber felt. The alumina synthetic fiber felt comprises, by weight percentage, 94%-96% alumina, 0.5%-3% rare earth element powder, 0.1%-1% nano-reinforcement material, and 1%-4% metal oxide, wherein the metal oxide is silicon dioxide and / or zirconium dioxide. The rare earth element powder is lanthanum oxide and / or yttrium oxide, the nano-reinforcement material is silicon carbide nanowires and / or boron nitride nanosheets, and tetrabutyl titanate and / or tetrabutyl zirconate are added according to the content of the metal oxide.

[0006] Furthermore, in the (1) mixing and sol preparation, the alumina powder and the rare earth element powder are mixed and then stirred in a high-speed stirrer at a speed of 800-1200 rpm for 20-40 minutes.

[0007] Furthermore, in the mixing and sol preparation (1), anhydrous ethanol is used as a dispersion medium, and dilute nitric acid is added to adjust the pH value to 2.5-3.5.

[0008] Furthermore, in the (1) mixing and sol preparation, the mixed solution is slowly dripped into the aluminum sol, and then the mixture is stirred and reacted at 60-80° C. for 2-6 hours.

[0009] Furthermore, in the preparation of the fiber precursor in (2), the organic template is polyvinyl alcohol or polyethylene glycol, and its amount is 2%-5% of the weight of the composite sol.

[0010] Furthermore, in the preparation of the fiber precursor in (2), during the dry spinning process, the inner diameter of the needle is set to 0.6-0.8 mm, the voltage is 12-18 kV, the collection distance is 15-25 cm, the feeding rate is 10-30 μL / min, and aluminum foil is used as the collection carrier.

[0011] Furthermore, during the heat treatment process (3), the pre-sintering process is carried out in an air atmosphere, with the temperature rising to 500°C at a heating rate of 4-6°C / min and kept at that temperature for 1-2 hours.

[0012] Furthermore, during the heat treatment (3), high-temperature sintering is carried out in a high-temperature tube furnace under the protection of high-purity argon, with the temperature rising to 1300°C at a heating rate of 8-10°C / min and kept at that temperature for 2-3h.

[0013] Furthermore, in the (4) air flow melting to prepare the fiber felt, the nozzle diameter of the air flow melting device is 0.4-0.6 mm, the air flow velocity is set to 15-25 m / s, and the spraying temperature is maintained at 1400-1600°C.

[0014] Description of some raw materials in the above scheme: 1. Alumina is the main component of fiber felt, providing the basic structure and basic properties of the fiber. It has excellent mechanical strength, high temperature resistance and chemical stability. During the high-temperature sintering process, alumina forms a stable α-Al2O3 crystal phase, which gives the fiber an extremely high melting point and good creep resistance, enabling it to remain stable in extremely high temperature environments.

[0015] 2. Rare earth element powder (lanthanum oxide or yttrium oxide) acts as a grain refiner to promote the formation of fine grains during high-temperature sintering, prevent excessive grain growth, and help improve the density and uniformity of the fiber. Rare earth elements can improve the thermal expansion coefficient of alumina, reduce thermal stress concentration, thereby improving the thermal shock resistance and thermal stability of the fiber. They can also enhance the interfacial bonding between the components within the fiber, reduce interface defects, and improve the overall mechanical properties.

[0016] 3. Nano-reinforcement materials (silicon carbide nanowires or boron nitride nanosheets) form a micro-nanoscale reinforcement phase within the fiber, effectively dispersing stress and preventing crack propagation, thereby significantly improving the fiber's fracture toughness. Leveraging the material's high thermal conductivity, strength, electrical insulation, and high-temperature resistance, the fiber mat is endowed with multiple functionalities. A complex three-dimensional network is formed between the nano-reinforcement material and the matrix material, enhancing the overall structural stability and mechanical properties of the fiber mat.

[0017] 4. Metal oxides (titanium dioxide or zirconium dioxide) can increase the hardness and wear resistance of the fiber and enhance the overall performance of the fiber felt; organic templates (polyvinyl alcohol or polyethylene glycol) can provide temporary structural support and improve fluidity, thereby increasing the success rate and efficiency of dry spinning and airflow melting processes. They will eventually be completely decomposed by high temperature without affecting the physical and chemical properties of the fiber felt.

[0018] The present invention also provides an alumina synthetic fiber felt prepared by the above preparation method.

[0019] The beneficial effects achieved by the present application are: 1. The present application introduces rare earth elements, metal oxides and nano-enhanced materials into alumina, which can improve the mechanical strength, thermal stability and oxidation resistance of the fiber felt; Specifically, alumina is used as the main material, rare earth element powder and nano-enhanced material are introduced to form α-Al2O3 crystal phase and micro-nano scale reinforced phase inside the alumina synthetic fiber, which can effectively disperse stress, prevent crack propagation, improve the mechanical strength and fracture toughness of the fiber, and maintain the structural integrity and performance stability of the fiber felt at high temperature; At the same time, the synergistic effect of rare earth elements and nano-enhanced materials greatly improves the thermal shock resistance of the fiber felt, which is suitable for working environment with frequent temperature changes, and metal oxides can enhance the hardness and wear resistance of the fiber felt, and also endow it with excellent chemical stability and multiple functions.

[0020] 2. The present application mixes and disperses alumina powder, rare earth element powder, tetrabutyl titanate and / or tetrabutyl zirconate, nano-enhanced material and other components in anhydrous ethanol to ensure good dispersibility of each component, forms a uniform and stable composite sol, and adjusts the pH value to promote the dissolution of each component and prevent precipitation. Adding an organic template to the composite sol can form a temporary network structure in the melt, help maintain an appropriate viscosity range, and provide temporary structural support, which helps control the fiber morphology and size.

[0021] 3. The present application adopts a combination of pre-sintering and high-temperature sintering. The fiber precursor is first pre-sintered in an air atmosphere to remove the organic template and preliminarily solidify the fiber structure, and then high-temperature sintering is carried out under high-purity argon protection, so that the inorganic components in the fiber undergo solid-phase reaction to form a stable crystal structure, while the mechanical strength and high-temperature resistance of the fiber are enhanced, ensuring the integrity of the fiber structure and the stability of the performance, and improving the quality of the final product.

[0022] 4. The present application blows the sintered fiber into a collector by high-speed airflow, and the fibers naturally accumulate into a random fiber network. The high-speed airflow rapidly cools the fibers, fixing their morphology and avoiding the problems of crystal growth or phase change caused by slow cooling. As more and more fibers are deposited, they will naturally interweave with each other to form a fiber felt with certain thickness and density. The three-dimensional porous network structure provides excellent thermal insulation effect and endows the fiber felt with good flexibility and compression resistance. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
