Description

A strong oxidation-resistant zirconium-based amorphous alloy and preparation method thereof Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of amorphous alloys, and in particular relates to a strong oxidation-resistant zirconium-based amorphous alloy and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Amorphous alloys are alloys that are rapidly cooled from liquid to solid, and still retain the disordered arrangement of liquid atoms at room temperature. Their internal atomic structure is extremely dense, without a crystal structure, and have good mechanical properties and corrosion resistance.

[0003] However, as the application of zirconium-based bulk amorphous alloys expands, the environment in which they serve becomes more complex, and the requirements for their corrosion resistance are constantly increasing. Zirconium-based amorphous alloys are used in industrial applications where they come into contact with other materials (such as stainless steel) and halogen ions, such as 84 disinfectant in daily life, Fe 3+ ions and Cl - Ions, strong oxidizing substances + acids, etc. are more prone to corrosion. Therefore, it is very necessary to improve the corrosion resistance of amorphous alloys without affecting their mechanical properties. Summary of the Invention

[0014] In one embodiment of the present application, when arc melting the alloy, the alloy is turned over 2 to 3 times, and then the alloy rod is cast through a copper mold;

[0015] The diameter of the alloy rod is 4mm and the vacuum degree is less than 50Pa.

[0016] In one embodiment of the present application, the induction heating temperature during induction melting is about 1200°C.

[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] Preparation process: All raw materials used are industrial-grade pure metals. After the raw materials are mixed according to atomic percentages, alloy rods are produced by arc melting or induction melting under argon protection. To ensure the uniformity of the alloy, the alloy is flipped 2-3 times during arc melting. It is then cast through a copper mold. The alloy rod diameter is 4 mm. The induction heating temperature is approximately 1200°C and the vacuum degree is less than 50 Pa. The alloy composition and tensile strength of each embodiment and comparative example are shown in the table below:

[0037] As can be seen from the table above, the tensile strengths of Examples 1-7 and Comparative Examples 1-5 are not very different and are relatively close. Referring to Figures 1 to 12, Examples 1-7 and Comparative Examples 1-5 are all amorphous alloys.

[0038] The corrosion resistance of each embodiment and comparative example was tested by immersion weight loss method: 10 pieces of amorphous silicon wafers with a diameter of 4 mm and a thickness of 20 mm were placed in a corrosion solution and immersed at room temperature for 24 hours. The test results are shown in the following table.

[0039] As can be seen from the above table, the corrosion resistance of Comparative Examples 1-5 and Examples 1-7 to HCl, HNO3, and H2SO4 is not very different. However, in the composite strong oxidizing acid solution, the corrosion rate of Example 1-7 is significantly lower, and the corrosion resistance is better.

[0040] With the above-described preferred embodiments of the present invention as a guide, and with reference to the above description, relevant personnel are fully capable of making various changes and modifications without departing from the technical scope of this invention. The technical scope of this invention is not limited to the contents of the specification and must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
