Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for manufacturing barium compounds result in structures with insufficient mechanical strength due to the presence of fragile pores in the porous matrix, which can lead to reduced mechanical integrity.

Innovation Solution

A barium compound structure is formed by mixing a crystalline barium compound powder with a silicon-containing powder and an aqueous sulfate solution, followed by pressurization and heating to create a dense structure with a crystalline barium sulfate binding layer, enhancing mechanical strength and chemical stability.

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If a porous matrix is used to manufacture barium compound ceramics, then the manufacturing process is simplified and reactants can be easily mixed, but the mechanical strength of the molded body is insufficient due to fragile pores

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of manufactureVSAvoidmechanical strength
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The invention uses a composite structure consisting of barium compound particles (first compound particles) combined with silicon-containing compounds (second compound particles) and barium sulfate binding parts. This composite material approach replaces the traditional porous matrix while maintaining ease of manufacture through simple mixing and pressing processes, yet achieves high mechanical strength through the dense composite structure formed during sintering.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The invention changes the physical and chemical parameters of the material structure by controlling the sintering process (heating to 50-300°C and applying pressure of 10-600 MPa) to transform the mixed powder into a dense structure with crystalline barium sulfate binding parts. This parameter change eliminates the fragile porous structure while maintaining manufacturing simplicity.

2Ease of manufacture

If a porous matrix containing metal oxide powder is pressurized to form a molded body, then the manufacturing process is simple, but the molded body lacks sufficient mechanical strength due to the presence of many pores

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of manufactureVSAvoidmechanical strength
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The invention creates a composite material system where barium compound particles are bound together by crystalline barium sulfate formed from sulfate ions in the aqueous solution. The silicon-containing compounds further enhance the binding and contribute to the dense structure. This composite approach maintains manufacturing simplicity while achieving high mechanical strength through the interlocking composite structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The invention replaces the traditional mechanical pressing of porous matrices with a chemical binding mechanism. Sulfate ions in the aqueous solution react with barium compounds to form crystalline barium sulfate binding parts that chemically bond the particles together, eliminating the need for high-pressure mechanical compaction and resulting in a denser, stronger structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Stability of the object's composition

If barium sulfate is formed as a binding part covering the surface of first compound particles, then chemical stability is improved, but the manufacturing process becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The invention performs preliminary action by incorporating sulfate ions into the aqueous solution before the sintering process. These sulfate ions are pre-positioned in the mixture and will automatically react with barium compounds during the heating process to form the crystalline barium sulfate binding parts. This preliminary preparation simplifies the overall process compared to separate coating steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The invention employs self-service by allowing the sulfate ions to automatically react with barium compounds during the sintering process to form the binding parts. The system uses its own components (sulfate ions from the aqueous solution and barium compounds from the powder mixture) to create the binding structure without requiring external binding agents or complex processing steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
