Description of drawings
Fig. 1 is the sketch chart of the structure of expression composite ceramics of the present invention.
Embodiment
Below explain the present invention based on concrete example shown in the drawings.
(structure of composite ceramics)
With Fig. 1 is reference, composite ceramics of the present invention, have as crystallization phases and be blocky alumina crystal mutually 1 and zirconium white crystallization phases 3, have column crystal 5 between these crystallization phasess, this column crystal 5 is made of the composite oxides that contain alkaline-earth metal and aluminium element.
Promptly, composite ceramics of the present invention, the alumina crystal phase 1 and the zirconium white crystallization phases 3 that are formed on the main body that becomes crystallization phases in the sintered compact are the blocky tissue that does not have directive property, between so blocky crystallization phases, be formed with the column crystal 5 that constitutes by the composite oxides of stipulating, so the grain of alumina crystal phase and zirconium white crystallization phases is grown up and is suppressed, thereby can avoid an intensity of the sintered compact that growth brings to reduce, realize high strength, the mechanical characteristics of toughness, folding strength, hardness etc. is improved, hot water resistance is improved.
Alumina crystal phase 1 and zirconium white crystallization phases 3
As understanding according to Fig. 1, composite ceramics of the present invention is preferably rich aluminum oxide on substantially, for example, alumina crystal mutually 1 and the mass ratio of zirconium white crystallization phases 3 preferably be in following scope:
Alumina crystal phase/zirconium white crystallization phases=65/35~90/10
Particularly 75/25~85/15
So becoming rich aluminum oxide by making, is favourable realizing high rigidityization, making in the wearability raising.
In addition, alumina crystal phase 1 so its average crystallite particle diameter particularly is in the scope of 0.6~1.3 μ m usually, can be reached high strength and high tenacityization because its growth is suppressed thus below 1.5 μ m.
On the other hand, the average crystallite particle diameter of average crystallite particle diameter ratio aluminum oxide that is preferably zirconium white crystallization phases 3 is little, particularly below 0.5 μ m, preferably is in the scope of 0.1~0.4 μ m.That is, in the present invention, not only in alumina crystal phase 1,, therefore, can realize high strength and high tenacityization by micronize or densification even in zirconium white crystallization phases 3, also have the weave construction that grain is grown up and effectively suppressed.
In addition, in composite ceramics of the present invention, median size ratio aluminum oxide crystallization phases 1 as above-mentioned preferred rich aluminum oxide and zirconium white crystallization phases 3 is little, but in such form, constitute with alumina crystal phase 1 as mother metal, zirconium white crystallization phases 3 is dispersed in such aluminum oxide mother metal, the stabilization by the stress under compression of coming the self-alumina mother metal.Promptly, even contained stablizer is a small amount of in the zirconium white crystallization phases 3, but zirconium white crystallization phases 3 is as regular crystal and stabilization, so oblique crystal and separating out of cube crystalline substance are suppressed, consequently intensity (for example folding strength) and toughness improve, and hardness also improves in addition.For example, if stablizer exists in a large number, then stress-induced phase transformation will be difficult to take place, and folding strength, toughness reduce, but in the present invention, can avoid the reduction of the mechanical characteristics that such stablizer causes.
Also have, as zirconic stablizer, normally used Y 2O 3Be the oxide compound of 3 valencys, if at zirconium white (ZrO as 4 valency oxide compounds 2) middle solid solution, then form the oxygen room, because water is had an effect to this oxygen room, zirconic combination can be cut off, and causes the hot water deterioration.That is, if use Y 2O 3As the stablizer of zirconium white crystallization phases 3 and make the Zirconia-stabilized regular crystal that turns to, then hot water resistance significantly reduces, and for example the folding strength after the hot water deterioration test reduces greatly.Yet, in composite ceramics of the present invention, do not use Y 2O 3Such stablizer also can make zirconium white crystallization phases 3 stabilizations, therefore can avoid by Y effectively 2O 3The reduction of the hot water resistance that causes.
As understanding, in composite ceramics of the present invention, also be extremely micro-even preferably do not add stablizer or add according to above-mentioned explanation.That is, the consistent dose of above-mentioned zirconium white crystallization phases 3, preferred unit zirconium white (ZrO 2) in have below the 2mol%.Also have, stability for the tetragonal phase that increases the zirconium white crystallization phases 3 behind the sintering, also can add a spot of other stablizers (for example oxide compound of Sc, Ce, Yb etc.), in addition, other such stablizers also can add with the form (salt, alkoxide (alkoxide) etc.) that finally becomes oxide compound.
Column crystallization phase 5
In the present invention, extremely important is at the above-mentioned alumina crystal phase 1 and the crystal boundary of zirconium white crystallization phases 3, has the column crystal 5 of the composite oxides that contain alkaline-earth metal and aluminium element.That is, when calcining alkaline-earth metal react with aluminum oxide, it is column crystal 5 more than 3 that the composite oxides that contain alkaline-earth metal and aluminum oxide thus are generated as long-width ratio.Generation by such column crystal 5, the grain of alumina crystal phase 1 and zirconium white crystallization phases 3 is grown up and is suppressed, and consequently, these crystallization phasess 1,3 form long-width ratio in the bulk below 3, the intensity reduction that the grain growth causes is suppressed, thereby can realize high strength.
In addition in the present invention, because the formation of column crystal 5 also can improve toughness.For example, when above-mentioned such column crystal 5 did not exist, the deflection of crackle was difficult to take place, because that the propagation of crackle becomes is linear, therefore destroyed toughness and reduced.In addition, the grain of alumina crystal phase is grown up and is taken place easily, although toughness is kept, folding strength and wearability reduce, and particularly hot water resistance reduces, and the folding strength after the hot water deterioration test reduces greatly.
Such column crystal 5, the above-mentioned alumina crystal of its hardness ratio are 1 low mutually, therefore if hardness then can take place in a large amount of existence reduces, in addition if exist with big shape, then cause intensity to reduce.Therefore, preferably do not bring hardness to reduce and the intensity reduction, the column crystal 5 of modest size is separated out, for example, when the section of this composite ceramics is carried out electron microscope observation, on the face of 4.5 μ m * 6.0 μ m sizes, the unit of alumina crystal phase 1 and zirconium white crystallization phases 3 adds up in the area, column crystal 5 shared areas are 1~20%, and particularly column crystal 5 exists to be in 1~10% the such amount of scope, are being preferred aspect the mechanical characteristics that improves toughness, folding strength, hardness etc.
In the present invention, the employed alkaline-earth metal of formation as the composite oxides that are used to constitute this column crystal 5 is not particularly limited, for example Ca, Sr, Ba etc. can, but preferred especially Sr.When adopting Sr to form the column crystal 5 of composite oxides, the use of Sr by less amount, the effect that not only has physical strength to improve, and also have the generation of the liquid phase under the low temperature to be suppressed, grow up thereby can suppress grain effectively, and the also low such advantage of the toxicity of composition.
Also have, though before only carried out setting forth simply, the column crystal 5 that is made of composite oxides is from the alkali earth metallic compound that uses as auxiliary agent, for example with alkali earth metallic compound and the titanium compound that adds as required mix with aluminum oxide and zirconium white and calcine, the part of alkaline-earth metal and aluminum oxide reaction thus, the column crystal 5 that contains the composite oxides of alkaline-earth metal and Al is separated out.The composite oxides that constitute such column crystal 5 are expressed from the next as representative:
Ca 3Ti 8Al 12O 37
SrTi 3Al 8O 19
Ba 3TiAl 10O 20
CaAl 12O 19
SrAl 12O 19, or
BaAl 12O 19
In composite ceramics of the present invention, the column crystal 5 that is made of such composite oxides is in order to satisfy above-mentioned area ratio, per 100 quality % of the total amount of preferred alumina crystal phase and zirconium white crystallization phases, containing alkaline-earth metal (Ca, Sr, Ba) is at least more than the 0.24 quality % with the oxide compound conversion, especially preferably with titanium (Ti) and alkaline-earth metal (Ca, Sr, Ba), the scope that is aggregated in 0.4 quality %~3 quality % as oxide compound contains.
Other compositions
Also have, composite ceramics of the present invention except above-mentioned each composition, also can contain composition from the sintering aid beyond the alkali earth metallic compound (SiO for example 2, MgO etc.), this oxide components generally is present in the crystal boundary of each crystallization phases, but its part also can be solid-solubilized in the crystallization phases.
As above-mentioned, composite ceramics of the present invention, avoided effectively because the intensity that the increment of aluminum oxide causes reduces, intensity and tenacity excellent, for example demonstrate the Vickers' hardness more than 1600,4.5 above destruction toughness value is even and still demonstrate folding strength more than the 1050MPa after the hot water deterioration test.
Composite ceramics of the present invention with characteristic like this extremely is suitable for use as various structure parts, for example various cutlery classes and instrument class, and perhaps the bearing components of spot contact bearing etc. and artificial joint etc. are the slip of the representative purposes with member.
