Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of ceramic processing technology, and particularly relates to the infiltration and sintering process of ceramic skeleton-reinforced silicon nitride multiphase ceramics. Background Technology
[0002] Silicon nitride ceramics, as an advanced structural ceramic, occupy an important position in modern industry due to their excellent properties such as high strength, high hardness, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance. In the aerospace field, it can be used to manufacture key components such as engine combustion chambers and turbine blades, capable of withstanding the erosion and corrosion of high-temperature combustion gases. In mechanical engineering, it can be used to manufacture high-precision bearings and seals, significantly improving the operating efficiency and service life of mechanical equipment. In the automotive industry, it is expected to be used in engine pistons, cylinder liners, and other components to achieve weight reduction, energy saving, and performance improvement. However, pure silicon nitride ceramics have obvious performance shortcomings. They have low fracture toughness and high brittleness, making them prone to fracture under impact or complex stress. At the same time, their high-temperature creep resistance is insufficient, and they are prone to plastic deformation under long-term high-temperature service environments, leading to a decrease in the dimensional stability of components. These defects seriously limit their further application in extreme environments and high-end equipment.
[0003] To improve the mechanical properties of silicon nitride ceramics, existing technologies often employ particle reinforcement (such as adding SiC, A, etc.). Multiphase synthesis schemes using particles or fibers (such as carbon fibers and SiC fibers) are being explored. Among these, fiber / skeleton reinforcement has become a research hotspot due to its ability to significantly improve toughness through "bridging" and "pull-out" effects. However, existing fabrication processes have the following drawbacks: Traditional sintering processes (such as hot pressing and gas pressure sintering) require mixing the reinforcing phase (fiber / skeleton) with silicon nitride matrix powder before molding and sintering. This can easily lead to an overly strong or weak bond between the reinforcing phase and the matrix, and the fibers are easily damaged during the mixing process. The impregnation process often adopts a step-by-step approach of "sintering the skeleton first and then impregnating the matrix slurry". The interface bonding between the skeleton and the matrix is poor, and a second high-temperature sintering is required after impregnation, which can easily lead to thermal expansion mismatch between the skeleton and the matrix and generate microcracks. Existing ceramic framework materials (such as SiC framework) have insufficient chemical compatibility with silicon nitride matrix, and are prone to interfacial reactions at high temperatures (such as the formation of low melting point phases), which reduces the high-temperature performance of the material.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new process that can optimize the enhanced phase-matrix interface, has strong process controllability, and can mass-produce high-performance silicon nitride multiphase ceramics. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem that existing ceramic framework materials (such as SiC framework) have insufficient chemical compatibility with silicon nitride matrix, and are prone to interfacial reactions at high temperatures (such as the formation of low-melting-point phases), which reduce the high-temperature performance of the material. Therefore, this invention proposes an infiltration and sintering process for ceramic framework-reinforced silicon nitride multiphase ceramics.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: The infiltration and sintering process for ceramic-reinforced silicon nitride multiphase ceramics includes the following steps: S1: Pre-fabricated ceramic skeleton: Selected with a thermal expansion coefficient ≤1×1 compared to silicon nitride. Ceramic materials at / ℃ are used to prepare green bodies through 3D printing, and then pre-sintered at 1200-1400℃ to obtain a ceramic skeleton with a porosity of 30-50%. S2: Preparation of silicon nitride-based slurry: Using silicon nitride powder as the matrix, sintering aids, 0.1-0.5% silicon powder and dispersant are added and mixed to form a slurry with a solid content of 60-70%; S3: Impregnation treatment: After vacuum treatment of the ceramic skeleton, it is impregnated with silicon nitride-based slurry under a pressure of 0.5-2MPa and then dried; S4: Integrated sintering: Sintering at 1600-1800℃ for 2-4 hours in a nitrogen atmosphere, achieving interfacial bonding through in-situ reaction between silicon powder and the skeleton, to obtain multiphase ceramics; S5: Performance testing: Perform various performance tests on the prepared multiphase ceramics.
[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution: The ceramic material in step S1 is either silane or aluminum nitride.
[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution: The 3D printing in step S1 is photopolymerization molding, with a skeleton pore size of 50-200μm.
[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution: The sintering aid in step S2 is: -A Composite additives, with a mass fraction of 5-15%.
[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution: The sintering atmosphere in step S4 is nitrogen, with a pressure of 0.1-0.5 MPa, and a heating rate of 5 °C / min during the high-temperature stage.
[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: The S1: ceramic skeleton prefabrication includes: Selection of framework material: Choose ceramic materials with excellent chemical compatibility with the silicon nitride matrix, such as silane or aluminum nitride, whose coefficient of thermal expansion differs from that of silicon nitride by ≤1×1. / ℃ (25-1000℃); Skeleton forming: Skeleton powder with a particle size of 1-5μm is mixed with polyvinyl alcohol with a mass fraction of 5-10%, and a green body with a three-dimensional interconnected pore structure is prepared by 3D printing, with a porosity of 30-50% and a pore size of 50-200μm; Skeleton pre-sintering: The green body is pre-sintered in a nitrogen atmosphere with a heating rate of 5-10℃ / min, a sintering temperature of 1200-1400℃, and a holding time of 2-4h to obtain a ceramic skeleton with a density of 60-70%, retaining interconnected pores to facilitate subsequent infiltration. The preparation of S2: silicon nitride-based slurry includes: Slurry formulation: Using silicon nitride powder with a particle size of 0.5-2μm and a mass fraction of 70-80% as the matrix, and adding 5-15% by mass of... -A Composite additives are used as sintering aids, polyethylene glycol (0.5-2% by mass) is used as a dispersant, and deionized water is mixed by ball milling for 2-4 hours to form a mixture with a solid content of 60-70% and a viscosity of 500-1000 mPa. A uniform slurry; Adding 0.1-0.5% of silicon powder with a particle size of 1-3μm to the slurry allows for in-situ reaction with the skeleton surface during sintering, thereby strengthening the interfacial bonding. The S3: impregnation treatment includes: The pre-sintered ceramic skeleton was placed in a vacuum impregnation device, and the vacuum was drawn to ≤10Pa and maintained for 30min. Inject silicon nitride-based slurry into the device, apply nitrogen pressure of 0.5-2 MPa, and maintain the pressure for 1-2 hours to allow the slurry to fully fill the interconnected pores of the skeleton. Remove the impregnated green body and dry it at 60-80℃ for 12-24 hours to remove free moisture; S4: Integrated sintering includes: The impregnated green body was placed in a graphite sintering furnace and sintered in a nitrogen atmosphere at a pressure of 0.1-0.5 MPa. Low temperature stage (room temperature - 800℃): heating rate 5℃ / min, to remove organic components from the green body; Intermediate temperature stage (800-1600℃): Heating rate 10℃ / min, promotes melting of sintering aids and formation of liquid phase; High temperature stage (1600-1800℃): heating rate 5℃ / min, holding for 2-4h. At this time, the silicon powder reacts in situ with the surface of the skeleton, realizing the interfacial bonding between the skeleton and the matrix. S5: Performance testing: The prepared multiphase ceramics are tested for bending strength, fracture toughness, and creep resistance at 1200℃.
[0012] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: In this invention, the pre-sintered skeleton retains interconnected pores, ensuring sufficient filling of the silicon nitride-based slurry. The silicon powder added to the slurry undergoes an in-situ chemical reaction with the skeleton surface during the integrated sintering process, forming a stable transition phase. This creates a "chemical bond" interface between the skeleton and the silicon nitride matrix, increasing the interface bonding strength by 30-50% (≥80MPa) and enhancing the interface bonding. Thanks to the excellent interfacial bonding between the framework and the matrix, as well as the "bridging" and "pull-out" reinforcement effects of the framework, the flexural strength of the multiphase ceramic is ≥800MPa, and the fracture toughness is ≥7MPa. The m¹ / ² is increased by 20% and 40% respectively compared to pure silicon nitride ceramics, improving the mechanical properties of multiphase ceramics and making them less prone to fracture when subjected to impact or complex stress. Because the thermal expansion of the skeleton and the matrix is matched (difference ≤ 1×1) / ℃), effectively reducing the degree of thermal expansion mismatch between the skeleton and the matrix, significantly reducing the thermal stress generated during sintering and cooling and high-temperature service, avoiding the generation of microcracks, reducing the creep rate by 50% at 1200℃, and without interface reaction deterioration, resulting in good high-temperature stability of the prepared multiphase ceramic. 3D printing prefabricated skeletons allow for precise control of porosity, pore size, external dimensions, and internal structure, meeting the customized needs of different products. Vacuum-pressure impregnation ensures that the slurry can uniformly and fully fill the skeleton pores, avoiding the problem of insufficient impregnation in certain areas. Integrated sintering combines the pre-sintering of the skeleton with the sintering of the matrix into a single process, reducing secondary processing steps and lowering the probability of defects caused by secondary sintering. The process is simplified, highly controllable, and suitable for industrial mass production, which helps to reduce production costs and improve production efficiency. Detailed Implementation
