Technical Solutions
[0004] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the background technology, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an integrated preparation method for a complex structure metal inert anode and its electrical connection, which realizes the near-net forming of the anode shell of the special-shaped structure by rheological pressing. The process is rapid and the forming precision is high. At the same time, the densification of the anode shell and the electrical connection is completed simultaneously by one-step sintering, and no separate electrical connection process is required. The method is suitable for mass production of inert anodes for aluminum electrolysis with complex geometry, high performance and high precision.
[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
[0006] The present invention provides an integrated preparation method for a metal anode shell and an electrical connection for aluminum electrolysis. The method comprises the following steps: mixing metal shell powder with a thermoplastic adhesive to obtain a semi-solid hot material; crushing the semi-solid hot material to obtain metal shell feed particles; preheating a mold to 60-100° C.; filling the preheated metal shell feed particles into the mold; applying pressure, and heating the mold to a temperature 5-50° C. above the softening point of the thermoplastic adhesive to perform rheological pressing to obtain a metal shell blank; filling the core of the metal shell blank with alloy core powder to obtain an inert anode blank with an alloy core; and sintering the inert anode blank with the alloy core to obtain an inert anode for aluminum electrolysis.
[0007] The preparation method provided by the present invention first uses a rheological pressing method to achieve near-net-net forming of a special-shaped anode shell blank. The rheological pressing forming is carried out by preheating feed particles and then directly placing them in a mold cavity, heating the mold cavity to above the softening point of a thermoplastic adhesive, utilizing the high wettability of the interface between the adhesive and the powder. Under the action of capillary force, the adhesive flows and drives the secondary distribution of the powder in the material and the rearrangement of the particles, thereby achieving stable filling of complex-shaped fine structures and obtaining a highly uniform and dense precision part blank; obtaining a special-shaped anode shell blank, and then filling the special-shaped anode shell blank with an alloy inner core powder that will form an electrical connection, and then sintering the blank as a whole to obtain an inert anode for aluminum electrolysis.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the metal shell powder has the following composition, by mass percentage: Ni 10-60%, M 5-30%, and the balance Fe, wherein M is selected from at least one of Cu, Co, Cr, Mn, Al, Ag, Zn, Ti, Sn, W, Mo, Zr, and Nb.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the particle size of the metal shell powder is 0.05-1 μm.
[0010] Further preferably, the metal shell powder is obtained by crushing and classifying metal powder, the crushing method is nano-grinding using a turbine nano-sand mill, and the operating parameters during the nano-grinding are: a speed of 580-1500 rpm, a flow rate of 50-500 L / H, and a zirconium bead filling ratio of 60-70%;
[0011] The classification method is to use a jet airflow classifier for classification, and the working parameters during the classification are: feed rate 50~100kg / h, working pressure 1.5~20MPa, and cyclone collector wind pressure 1.5~20KPa.
[0012] The inventors have discovered that through the above-mentioned crushing and classification operations, metal shell powder with uniform particle size and narrow distribution range can be obtained.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the volume fraction of the metal shell powder in the semi-solid thermal material is 60% to 80%, preferably 60-70%.
[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the thermoplastic adhesive is composed of the following components by volume percentage: 60-94.5 vol% filler adhesive, 5-30 vol% backbone adhesive, 1-10 vol% surfactant, and 0.5-5% plasticizer.
[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the melt index of the filling binder is ≥80 g / min, and the melt index of the backbone binder is ≥35 g / min.
[0016] The semi-solid hot material of the precision component provided by the present invention has high interfacial wettability between the thermoplastic adhesive and the raw material powder. The volume fraction of the raw material powder accounts for a high proportion, but the low binder content can maintain good blank strength. When heated to a temperature above the softening point of the thermoplastic adhesive, under a certain pressure and the action of capillary force, slow viscous migration will occur, and the secondary distribution / particle rearrangement of the powder in the material will be driven. At this stage, the porosity gradually decreases, and a highly uniform and dense precision part blank is obtained, realizing the densification process.
[0017] In the present invention, the volume fraction of the thermoplastic adhesive cannot be too high, because if the viscosity of the material is too low, the material in the fitting gap between the punch and the female mold will be shear-thinned and continuously flow out, causing pressure relief and local powder-glue separation, reducing the forming density and surface quality of the blank; based on this, the binder content of the rheological pressing forming material can be further reduced compared to the injection molding process, thereby improving the dimensional accuracy of the manufactured parts.
[0018] Furthermore, the thermoplastic binder preferably comprises, by volume percentage, 70-85 vol% filler binder, 10-20 vol% backbone binder, 2-5 vol% surfactant, and 0.5-2% plasticizer. Using this preferred thermoplastic binder formulation, the resulting powder metallurgy rheological pressing material exhibits optimal product performance after rheological pressing and sintering.
[0019] In a preferred embodiment, the filling binder is selected from at least one of paraffin wax, carnauba wax, microcrystalline wax, polyethylene wax, polyethylene glycol, polyoxymethylene, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, ethylene-ethyl acrylate, and methylcellulose, preferably at least one of carnauba wax, polyoxymethylene, and polyethylene glycol, and more preferably polyoxymethylene;
[0020] The backbone binder is selected from at least one of polypropylene, high-density polyethylene, low-density polyethylene, polystyrene, and polymethyl methacrylate.
[0021] The surfactant is selected from at least one of stearic acid, zinc stearate, glycerol, castor oil, and peanut oil;
[0022] The plasticizer is selected from at least one of dibutyl phthalate, dioctyl phthalate, β-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl) propionate, 4[β-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl) propionate] pentaerythritol ester, 4,4'-methylenebis(2,6-di-tert-butylphenol), and 3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl) propionate.
[0023] In the present invention, high-density polyethylene refers to a polyethylene having a density of 0.94-0.97 g / cm 3 Low-density polyethylene refers to polyethylene with a density of 0.91-0.93 g / cm 3 of polyethylene.
[0024] In a preferred embodiment, the mixing temperature is 120-200°C and the mixing time is 30-60 minutes. The mixing of the present invention is carried out in a roller-type medium-temperature internal mixer.
[0025] In a preferred embodiment, the heating temperature during the crushing is 60-150° C., the screw speed is 400-600 r / min, and the crushing is carried out in a screw extrusion hot-cut granulator.
[0026] In a preferred embodiment, the particle size of the metal shell feed particles is -10 mesh to +200 mesh. When the particle size of the metal shell feed particles is controlled within this range, the filling performance is optimal.
[0027] Preferably, the metal shell feed particles are preheated to 60-80°C.
[0028] Preferably, the mold is a combined heatable mold, which includes a combined female mold A, a combined female mold B, an upper punch, a lower punch, a core rod, and a heating sleeve.
[0029] In the actual operation process, first install the mold, put in the core rod fixed base and base table; install the lower punch, and fill the preheated metal shell feeding particle mold feeding material into the material bin; connect the combined female mold A and the combined female mold B, and then pressurize and heat it to above the softening point of the feeding material. After the feeding material is softened, keep it for a period of time to allow the secondary distribution of the feeding material and the rearrangement of the particles to achieve the filling of the mold. Stop heating, release the pressure after cooling, and take out the base and core rod to obtain a metal shell blank with a hollow core.
[0030] In a preferred solution, the pressure is applied to 20-60 MPa along the shell pressing direction, the temperature is raised to 120-170°C, and rheological pressing is performed for 10-40 minutes to obtain a metal shell blank.
[0031] In the present invention, the rheological pressing for 10 to 40 minutes refers to heating the temperature to 120 to 170° C. and maintaining the temperature for 10 to 40 minutes after the feed material is softened.
[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the sintering is carried out under a protective atmosphere, and the sintering process is: first heating to 400-600°C, keeping warm for 8-12 hours, then continuing to heat to K1, then cooling to K2, keeping warm for 4-6 hours, and then cooling to room temperature; wherein K1-K2 ≥ 50°C, preferably 100-150°C, K1 is 1300-1400°C, and K2 is 1150-1350°C.
[0033] The sintering process of the present invention first introduces circulating argon gas, raises the temperature to the degreasing temperature for degreasing, and then continues to raise the temperature to the melting temperature K1 of the inner core alloy to melt the inner core. At this time, the outer shell has not been completely sintered and dense. The gravity of the molten alloy itself and the capillary effect between the pores on the surface of the outer shell material are used to form a better solid-liquid interface wetting; then the temperature is lowered to K2 to solidify the core, and then through further insulation, the defects between the remaining pores and the interface are eliminated, and finally a dense outer shell and a stable electrical connection are obtained, and then the temperature is lowered to the sintering temperature of the metal outer shell, and finally cooled to room temperature.
[0034] Further preferably, the protective atmosphere is argon.
[0035] Further preferably, the cooling process is to first cool the temperature to 400-500°C at a cooling rate of <5°C / min, and then cool the temperature to room temperature in the furnace. Beneficial effects
