Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to the technical field of amorphous material preparation, in particular to an amorphous forming capacity enhancement method for high-saturation-magnetic-induction amorphous ribbons. BACKGROUND
[0002] Amorphous ribbons have high saturation magnetic induction and low loss due to the disordered atomic arrangement and the absence of grain boundary defects, and are in urgent need in the fields of new energy automobile motors and power transformers. Among them, iron-based amorphous ribbons have become a research hotspot due to low cost and balanced magnetic properties, but the lack of amorphous forming capacity has always been the core bottleneck restricting the large-scale production and performance improvement of the amorphous ribbons.
[0003] In the prior art, Fe-Si-B ternary systems are often used for iron-based amorphous ribbons, and elements such as Nb and Cu are often added to enhance the amorphous forming capacity. However, the addition of such elements can easily lead to a decrease in saturation magnetic induction, making it difficult to meet the dual requirements of “high forming capacity” and “high saturation magnetic induction”. Some processes attempt to introduce a single rare earth element (such as Y or La), but the rare earth elements are easily oxidized and segregated in the melt, which not only fails to effectively play a role, but also reduces the magnetic properties and mechanical properties of the ribbon due to the inclusion of defects.
[0004] The melt purification process also has obvious defects. Traditional processes often rely on single argon protection, which cannot completely remove impurities such as oxygen and nitrogen in the melt. These impurities can easily form oxide and nitride inclusions during rapid solidification, which become heterogeneous nucleation points for amorphous formation, significantly increasing the critical cooling rate of amorphous formation, and leading to crystallization of the ribbon. At the same time, after purification, there is a lack of effective filtering means, and small inclusions in the melt directly enter the subsequent rapid cooling process, further deteriorating the quality of the ribbon.
[0005] In the rapid solidification process, the existing process often uses a single temperature copper roller for cooling, and the cooling rate is unevenly distributed, which can cause differences in cooling between the edge and the center of the ribbon, leading to crystallization at the edge and uneven thickness at the center. In addition, the cooling medium is often single air or inert gas, and the cooling efficiency is limited, making it difficult to meet the high cooling rate requirements of high alloy content melts.
[0006] Annealing is a key step for optimizing the performance of amorphous ribbons. Traditional processes often use constant temperature annealing, which cannot accurately control the relaxation process of amorphous atoms, and can easily lead to uneven stress distribution in the ribbon, resulting in large fluctuations in magnetic permeability. At the same time, the surface of the ribbon after annealing lacks effective protection, and is easily oxidized and corroded during subsequent processing and use, affecting the service life.
[0007] In addition, the links of the existing process lack systematic design, raw material pretreatment is rough, purification and quenching parameters are not matched, annealing and surface treatment are disconnected, and other problems are common, resulting in low qualified rate of strip production and poor performance consistency. Especially in large-scale production, due to insufficient amorphous forming ability, the strip is prone to crystallization, cracking and other defects, which greatly increases the production cost and is difficult to meet the batch demand of high-end equipment for high-performance amorphous strip. In summary, the preparation process of the existing high-saturation magnetic amorphous strip has multiple technical pain points in composition design, melt purification, cooling control and annealing treatment, and needs to be broken through to realize the synchronous improvement of performance and production efficiency. SUMMARY
[0008] (I) Technical problems solved In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the present application provides a method for enhancing the amorphous forming ability of high-saturation magnetic amorphous strip.
[0009] (II) Technical solutions A method for enhancing the amorphous forming ability of high-saturation magnetic amorphous strip, comprising the following steps: S1.

Mix the above raw materials and place them in a vacuum melting furnace. Vacuumize to ≤-0.098 MPa, and heat to 1550-1600℃ for melting. During the melting process, La reacts with B to form LaB6, the reaction formula is La+6B→LaB6, and the alloy ingot is prepared by keeping the temperature for 35-40 min.
[0010] S2. Melt purification: put the master alloy ingot into an induction heating furnace and heat to 1450-1500℃ to remelt. Introduce argon gas with a purity of 99.999% into the furnace, and control the gas flow at 8-10 L / min. Add 0.15-0.25% Ca-Si alloy, of which the mass percentage of Ca is 25%. Ca reacts with O in the melt to form CaO, the reaction formula is 2Ca+O2→2CaO, and the purification is completed by keeping the temperature for 18-22 min.
[0011] S3. Gradient quenching: the purified melt is sprayed out through a nozzle with a diameter of 0.9-1.1 mm, and the nozzle is made of zirconia ceramic. The melt impacts a chromium-zirconium-copper roller at a speed of 35-40 m / s, and the rotation speed of the copper roller is set to 3200-3800 r / min. The copper roller is provided with two temperature zones along the radial direction, which are 25-40℃ and 15-25℃ respectively, and the temperature difference is maintained at 8-12℃ by an independent temperature control system. The distance between the nozzle and the surface of the copper roller is controlled at 0.25-0.35 mm.
[0012] S4. Subsection annealing: the quenched strip is placed in a vacuum annealing furnace, vacuumed to -0.096 to -0.098 MPa. The temperature is raised to 380-420℃ at a rate of 6-8℃ / min, and held for 40-50 min. Then the temperature is lowered to 300-320℃ at a rate of 2-3℃ / min, and held for 20-30 min. Finally, the heating device is turned off, and the furnace is cooled to room temperature.
[0013] Preferably, the present application further comprises S1.1 raw material pretreatment: Fe, Si, B particles are placed in a vacuum drying oven, dried at 120-150℃ for 2-3h. Zr, Sc are processed into wires with a diameter of 1-2mm, and La is processed into a sheet with a thickness of 0.5-1mm. The water content of the treated raw materials is controlled to be ≤0.05%, and impurity particles are removed by filtering through a 100 mesh screen before use.
[0014] Preferably, the present application further comprises S2.1 filtration after purification: after the melt purification is completed, filtration is performed through an alumina ceramic filter with a pore size of 50-80μm. The filter is preheated at 1200-1300℃ for 30min before use, and the melt temperature is maintained at not less than 1400℃ during the filtration process to prevent the melt from solidifying due to temperature drop during filtration.
[0015] Preferably, in the gradient quenching of S3 of the present application, circulating cooling water is introduced into the copper roller, and the water flow rate is controlled at 1.5-2m / s. The surface roughness of the copper roller is controlled at Ra≤0.5μm, and the surface runout amount during operation is ≤0.01mm, ensuring uniform thickness of the strip.
[0016] Preferably, in S3 of the present application, a ring-shaped gas injection device is provided at the outlet of the nozzle to inject nitrogen gas with a purity of 99.9% into the melt. The gas flow rate is controlled at 18-22L / min, and the gas temperature is controlled at 5-10℃, further increasing the cooling rate of the melt through gas-assisted cooling.
[0017] Preferably, in S4 of the present application, before subsection annealing, the strip is fixed with a graphite clamp. The part of the clamp in contact with the strip is pre-coated with a 0.1-0.2mm thick boron nitride coating, and the coating is dried before use. The clamping tension of the strip is controlled at 5-8N to prevent deformation of the strip during annealing.
[0018] Preferably, the present application further comprises S5. Surface passivation: the annealed strip is placed in a container containing a silane coupling agent KH-550 ethanol solution, and the mass fraction of silane coupling agent in the solution is 0.8-1.2%. The strip is completely immersed in the solution, soaked at room temperature for 10-15min, and then naturally air-dried to form a passivation film on the surface.
[0019] Preferably, the S5 of the present application is followed by ultrasonic cleaning: the passivated strip is placed in an ultrasonic cleaning tank, deionized water is added to the tank, and the water temperature is controlled at 40-50℃. The ultrasonic frequency is set to 45-55 kHz, and the treatment time is 8-12 min. After cleaning, the strip is placed in an oven and dried at 60-70℃ for 30-40 min.
[0020] Preferably, the amorphous strip prepared by the present application has a thickness of 25-35 μm and a width of 60-90 mm. The strip has a saturation magnetic induction ≥1.85 T and an amorphous formation critical cooling rate ≤10 4 K / s, and a magnetic permeability at room temperature ≥1.2×10 4 H / m.
[0021] (Three) Beneficial technical effects Compared with the existing technology, the beneficial effects of the present application are: At the component design level, a "Fe-Si-B-Nb-Cu + multi-rare earth" composite system is adopted, and Y, Sc, Zr, and La (or Ce) and other rare earth elements are introduced to work synergistically. The rare earth elements react with B to form stable rare earth borides, which not only avoid the oxidation segregation of rare earth elements, but also refine the melt structure, inhibit heterogeneous nucleation, and effectively retain the high saturation magnetic induction of the strip while enhancing the amorphous formation ability, successfully achieving the balance between "high formation ability" and "high magnetic performance".
[0022] At the melt purification link, a combined process of "argon protection + Ca-Si alloy deoxidization + ceramic filter filtration" is used to achieve deep melt purification. Ca reacts with oxygen to form stable CaO, which is combined with high-temperature ceramic filters to remove small inclusions, significantly reducing the heterogeneous nucleation points of amorphous formation and significantly reducing the critical cooling rate of amorphous formation, thereby improving the stability of amorphous formation from the source.
[0023] In the rapid solidification process, the combination of gradient double-temperature zone copper roller and low-temperature nitrogen assisted cooling realizes the uniform and controllable cooling rate. The double-temperature zone design of the copper roller solves the cooling difference problem between the edge and center of the strip, avoiding edge crystallization; the low-temperature nitrogen further improves the cooling efficiency, ensuring that the melt quickly passes through the crystallization temperature range, significantly reducing the risk of strip crystallization, and improving the thickness uniformity of the strip.
[0024] The segmented annealing process precisely matches the relaxation rules of amorphous atoms, first promotes atomic ordering relaxation through high-temperature holding, and then eliminates internal stress through low-temperature holding, effectively optimizing the uniformity of the strip's magnetic permeability and mechanical properties, and avoiding the performance fluctuations caused by traditional constant temperature annealing. After annealing, the surface passivation treatment forms a dense protective film on the surface of the strip, significantly improving its oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance, and prolonging the service life of the strip.
[0025] In addition, the whole-process process synergistic design from raw material pretreatment to surface passivation ensures the parameter matching of each link, greatly improves the qualified rate of strip production and the performance consistency, and reduces the cost of large-scale production. In summary, the process not only effectively enhances the amorphous forming ability, but also synchronously optimizes the magnetic performance, mechanical performance and stability of the strip, and provides reliable technical support for large-scale and high-quality production of high-saturation magnetic amorphous strip.

Examples 1-3 control the gradient quenching and precise positioning with tooling, the thickness deviation is only ±0.8-1.2μm, the surface roughness Ra is 0.3-0.5μm, and the quality uniformity is excellent; the passivation treatment after annealing makes the 500h salt spray test have no obvious rust, and the mechanical property uniformity is over 97%. The comparative example has uneven cooling and no surface protection, the thickness deviation is ±5μm, the surface is rough and rusts in large area within 100h, and the mechanical uniformity is only 82%, highlighting the advancement of the present forming control and corrosion protection process, ensuring the subsequent processing and long-term use performance of the strip.
[0075] Table 3: Comparison of thermal stability and mechanical properties
[0076] This table evaluates the stability and mechanical reliability of the strip in high temperature environment. Examples 1-3 benefit from multiple rare earth strengthening and segmented annealing to eliminate internal stress, the thermal weight loss rate is only 0.7-0.9% at 500℃, the Vickers hardness is 510-530HV, the tensile strength is 1800-1900MPa, and the elongation at break is 2.0-2.3%, with high thermal stability and good mechanical properties. The comparative example has a single composition and concentrated internal stress, the thermal weight loss rate is 2.5%, the hardness and tensile strength are greatly reduced, and the elongation is only 1.1%, which is prone to failure in high temperature or stressed working conditions, proving that the present process can simultaneously improve the thermal stability and mechanical properties of the strip.
[0077] Table 4: Comparison of magnetic loss and process stability
[0078] This table analyzes the energy efficiency and scalability of the strip. Examples 1-3 have uniform amorphous structure, small internal stress, and significantly lower magnetic loss at 50Hz and 1kHz than the comparative examples, with obvious energy efficiency advantages; the full-process collaborative design makes the batch production qualified rate exceed 98.8%, with a width deviation of only ±0.2-0.4mm, excellent consistency. The comparative examples have high magnetic loss due to mismatched process parameters and lack of quality control, with a qualified rate of only 78.5% and a width deviation of ±1.5mm, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale production, reflecting the dual advantages of energy efficiency and production stability of the present process.
