Description

Cladding material for discharge electrode and manufacture method thereof and sparking electrode
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of sparking electrode and electrode material thereof of the fluorescence discharging tube that for example uses as the background light of liquid crystal indicator.
Background technology
In liquid crystal indicator, use small-sized fluorescence discharging tube lamp as a setting.As shown in Figure 3, related fluorescence discharging tube comprises: glass tube 51, be formed with fluorescent film (not shown) on the internal face, and its inside is packaged with discharge with gas rare gas and mercury vapors such as () argon gas; And sparking electrode 52, constitute a pair of cold cathode at the both ends of the inside be arranged on this glass tube 51.Above-mentioned sparking electrode 52 has the form of cup-shaped (bottom tube-like is arranged), and this form is the pipe portion 53 with an end opening, and the other end of aforementioned tube portion 53 is by end plate portion 54 obturations.An end that connects the supportive conductors 55 of the end of above-mentioned glass tube 51 and sealed axle shape is welded in the above-mentioned end plate portion 54, lead 57 is connected the other end of this supportive conductors 55.Above-mentioned supportive conductors 55 is generally formed by W (tungsten), with laser welding itself and sparking electrode 52 is welded together usually.
Above-mentioned sparking electrode 52 is formed by pure Ni at present, the sparking electrode that the small fluorescent discharge tube of background light etc. is used, its size is, about internal diameter 1.5mm, about total length 5mm, about the wall thickness 0.1mm of pipe portion 53.Related sparking electrode is usually by carrying out deep drawing (deep drawing) and be shaped and be shaped integratedly having pure Ni thin plate with the wall thickness condition of equivalent thickness of aforementioned tube portion.
As mentioned above, though the effective sparking electrode of fluorescence discharge is good by formability and pure Ni that material character is stable forms, exist relatively shorter problem of lamp life-span.That is, fluorescence discharging tube is when lighting, and ion etc. bombard electrode, and the phenomenon (sputter (sputtering)) of atom takes place to emit from electrode metal.Because this sputter, electrode metal is consumed, and the atom of the electrode metal of the being emitted mercury interior with being sealed in glass tube combines the mercury vapor in the consumption glass tube.At present, the atom discharging amount of Ni when sputter that forms electrode metal is more, and promptly owing to the sputtering raste height, mercury consumption is big, thereby exists the easy problem that descends of life-span of discharge tube.
Therefore, in recent years, open 2002-110085 (patent documentation 1) puts down in writing, attempt forming sparking electrode with the low Nb of sputtering raste (niobium) as the Japan Patent spy.But Nb is more expensive than Ni.And the fusing point height of Nb (2793 ℃) when welding with the supportive conductors that is high-melting point metal W (3653 ℃) equally, must at high temperature weld.Therefore, form firm oxide-film easily at weld part.If the sparking electrode that keeps the state of paying will weld supportive conductors simultaneously at this oxide-film is sealed in the glass tube, oxide-film will decompose generation oxygen in discharge so.This oxygen reacts with the fluorescent film of pipe inner face, and fluorescent film is worsened.Therefore, after the welding of supportive conductors, must remove the operation of the oxide-film that forms at electrode surface.
Therefore, in recent years, open the paragraph 0024 of 2002-289138 (patent documentation 2) and the open WO2005/048285 (patent documentation 3) of international monopoly put down in writing as the Japan Patent spy, attempt forming inside and outside two-layer sparking electrode, skin is formed by Ni, and the internal layer that discharge is worked is formed by Nb in fact.In above-mentioned patent documentation 3, record, manufacture method as the sparking electrode of two-layer structure, the basic unit that is formed by Ni is carried out crimping with sheet metal with by the top layer that Nb forms with sheet metal, from this crimping material is carried out compound (clad) material that diffusion annealing forms, choose the base material, then its deep drawing is configured as cup-shaped.

Fig. 1 is the sectional view of the cladding material for discharge electrode that relates to of embodiments of the present invention, this composite material comprises by pure Ni or with Ni being the basic unit 1 that forms of the Ni base alloy of principal component and the top layer 2 that is formed by pure Nb, above-mentioned top layer 2 is carried out roll (roll) crimping in above-mentioned basic unit 1, and then by diffusion-bonded.Though above-mentioned top layer 2 via the NiNb intermetallic compounds layer as thin as a wafer below the 8.0 μ m by diffusion-bonded in above-mentioned basic unit 1, in Fig. 1, the diagram of this NiNb intermetallic compounds layer is omitted.About this intermetallic compounds layer, in the explanation of the manufacture method of this composite material described later, be illustrated.
Form pure Ni, the Ni base alloy (below, they are referred to as " Ni Base Metal ") of above-mentioned basic unit 1, oxidative resistance is good, and cold-workability is also good, and deep drawing is also good.Above-mentioned Ni Base Metal, its Ni content is more than the 80mass%, is more preferably more than the 85mass%, preferably comprise with the alloying element of Ni solid solution (for example, Nb, Mo, W, Ta, V, Ti) in more than one, remainder is made of Ni and unavoidable impurities.In the above-mentioned Ni base alloy, further preferably contain Nb, the Ta of 1.0~12.0mass%, the Ni-Nb alloy that remainder is made of Ni and unavoidable impurities, Ni-Ta alloy, Ni-Nb-Ta alloy independent or compoundly.Nb, Ta be so long as the addition of this degree is just harmless to formability, and have the effect of raising to the corrosion resistance of mercury vapor, can improve the durability of electrode.And, more preferably contain the W of 2.0~10mass% and remainder and come down to the Ni-W alloy that constitutes by Ni.W is also the same with Nb, Ta, can improve the corrosion resistance to mercury vapor.Though can be with W and above-mentioned Nb and/or the compound together interpolation of Ta that contains scope, in this case, preferably the amount with W is controlled at below about 6.0%.
Above-mentioned top layer 2 is formed by pure Nb, and is few more good more by gases such as the oxygen of Nb absorption (solid solution), hydrogen, nitrogen easily.As described later, this composite material industrial by will be superimposed as the sheet metal of the material of each layer, after carrying out crimping, then in Ar atmosphere is enclosed, the crimping material that obtains annealed and manufacturedly go out, in this case, being comprised in moisture in the Ar gas decomposes the oxygen that generates and might be absorbed by Nb in high temperature.After absorbing oxygen, if the oxygen amount among the Nb surpasses 550ppm, the ductility of Nb will significantly worsen so, and what accompany therewith is that the deep drawing formability of composite material also worsens.Therefore, in the present invention, the oxygen concentration among the pure Nb on formation top layer is controlled in below the 550ppm, preferably is controlled in below the 400ppm.And, because pure Nb forms by the vacuum melting manufactured, so the oxygen amount among the pure Nb that produces is below about 200ppm.
The thickness on above-mentioned top layer 2 needs about 20 μ m from the viewpoint of the consumption form of sparking electrode, consider fail safe and with the balance of the integral thickness of composite material, need to be preferably about 40~80 μ m about 20~100 μ m.On the other hand, from guaranteeing the viewpoint of deep drawing formability, the integral thickness of composite material is about 0.1~0.2mm.Consider the thickness on above-mentioned top layer 2, and in order to ensure the thickness of above-mentioned integral body, the thickness of above-mentioned basic unit 1 is set suitably, if it is from the viewpoint of the weldability of guaranteeing support electrode, just enough about 20~50 μ m.And, for above-mentioned basic unit 1 is prevented to make it to play a role with supporting layer as the distortion on top layer 2, when being shaped, guarantees deep drawing good press molding, the thickness that makes above-mentioned top layer 2 is that the aggregate thickness (integral thickness of composite material) on top layer 2 and top layer 1 is below 70%, to be preferably below 60%.
Fig. 2 has shown the sparking electrode of the cup-shaped that uses above-mentioned composite material deep drawing shaping.This sparking electrode has the end plate portion 12 of the other end of the open pipe portion of an end 11 and this pipe portion of obstruction, and above-mentioned end plate portion 12 and aforementioned tube portion 11 form.And the internal layer of sparking electrode is formed by the top layer 2 of above-mentioned composite material.Under situation about using as sparking electrode, because the part that consumes because of discharge mainly is facial in the bottom of sparking electrode, so by form the internal layer of sparking electrode with top layer 2, can guarantee to have the flash-over characteristic equal with the sparking electrode that is only formed by Nb, the useful life of fluorescence discharging tube, the while can also reduce the use amount of Nb.And, because the existence of basic unit 1, also become easy with the welding of supportive conductors.
Above-mentioned cup-shaped sparking electrode, carries out press molding and is shaped by deep drawing as the shaping material by the discoideus base material that will form from above-mentioned composite material Punching Technology.When the Punching Technology of above-mentioned base material, for example also the part of this base material can be connected the outer ring portion of composite material by connecting portion, deep drawing is shaped behind a plurality of cup-shaped sparking electrodes, again from the coupling part from sparking electrode.
At this, be illustrated with regard to the manufacture method of above-mentioned composite material.At first, carrying out the roll crimping then as the last superimposed raw-material Nb sheet (top layer sheet metal) of the raw-material Ni Base Metal sheet (basic unit's sheet metal) of basic unit 1 as top layer 2.That is, the superimposed material that superimposed Ni sheet and Nb sheet form is carried out crimping by a pair roller.This crimping can be carried out in cold worked mode.The reduction ratio of roll crimping is generally about 50~70% just.This manufacturing process is called as crimping process.By this crimping process, obtain the crimping material that basic unit and top layer are crimped.
Then, about 800~1100 ℃, preferably under the temperature about 900~1050 ℃, above-mentioned crimping material is carried out diffusion annealing.This manufacturing process is called as " diffusion annealing operation ".If discontented 800 ℃, diffusion is difficult to take place so, on the other hand, if surpass 1100 ℃, diffusion is very remarkable so, grows up at short notice at the NiNb intermetallic compounds layer that the interface on the basic unit of crimping material and top layer generates, and its thickness surpasses 8 μ m.Because thickness surpasses the such NiNb intermetallic compounds layer of 8 μ m and is highly brittle, to split easily, institute is so that the formability deterioration of composite material.The thickness of preferred above-mentioned NiNb intermetallic compounds layer is below the 6.5 μ m.In the time that above-mentioned 800~1100 ℃ temperature province should keep, be preferably about 15~120 seconds.Under discontented 15 seconds and target annealing temperature were situation about 800 ℃, diffusion was not enough, and bond strength descends, even the formability of composite material is worsened.On the other hand, surpassing about 120 seconds and the target annealing temperature is under the situation about 1100 ℃, diffusion excessively, the NiNb intermetallic compounds layer can significantly be grown up, bond strength descends, and still might make the formability deterioration.Preferred target annealing temperature is about 900~1050 ℃.
As the method for annealing that can easily satisfy above-mentioned diffusion annealing condition, recommending to enclose with Ar atmosphere is the continuous annealing of heating atmosphere.Utilize continuous annealing furnace to implement above-mentioned continuous annealing.In the tunnel of continuous annealing furnace (tunnel) stove, supply with Ar gas, make and be malleation (than the pressure about the high approximately 0.0005~0.001MPa of atmospheric pressure) in this stove, this continuous annealing furnace is carried out temperature control, thereby on the length direction of stove, obtaining the desired temperatures distribution.In this continuous annealing furnace, supply with processed material (for example crimping material of banded (strip)), conveyance speed by in accordance with regulations is to the length direction conveyance of stove, according to conveyance speed and preformed Temperature Distribution, can give temperature, the retention time of processed material regulation.
When carrying out above-mentioned continuous annealing, for the Ar gas of supplying with in the present invention, make its dew point for below-40 ℃, be preferably below-45 ℃.If dew point surpasses-40 ℃, the moisture that is contained in so in the Ar gas increases, and this moisture decomposes the oxygen that generates and can be absorbed by Nb under the annealing temperature of high temperature.Therefore, the ductility on top layer worsens, and the formability of composite material reduces.By making at dew point is during Ar atmosphere below 40 ℃ is enclosed and the retention time in 800~1100 ℃ temperature province is 15~120 seconds, the oxygen concentration on the top layer of composite material can be suppressed at below the 550ppm, and the ductility that can suppress the top layer worsens.
The diffusion annealing of above-mentioned crimping material also can be carried out under vacuum.Especially for the oxygen amount among the pure Nb that will form top layer 2 is suppressed at below the 550ppm, the heating cooling means of above-mentioned annealing conditions is satisfied in preferred employing.As an example, for example can adopt following heating in vacuum method.Use is provided with the vacuum chamber of heater in chamber, object being treated is contained in vacuum chamber, after making chamber interior become vacuum, utilize above-mentioned heater apace object being treated to be heated to set point of temperature and maintenance, stop heating during cooling, in vacuum chamber, import Ar gas, cooling apace simultaneously.If carry out diffusion annealing in a vacuum, between basic unit 1 and top layer 2, generate the NiNb intermetallic compounds layer hardly so, can be directly with top layer 2 diffusion-bonded in basic unit 1.
In the time of necessary, can carry out finish rolling with the composite material of cold worked mode after to diffusion annealing.Can adjust the thickness of slab of composite material thus.And, softening after the finish rolling in order to make material, in case of necessity also can with the same condition of above-mentioned diffusion annealing under implement annealing.The composite material of Zhi Zaoing can be suitable width by cutting in case of necessity as mentioned above, and then will be somebody's turn to do by the strip material Punching Technology of cutting and become the base material, and this blank is used to press molding.
Below, enumerate embodiment and more specifically describe the present invention, but the present invention does not explain because of relevant embodiment with being limited.

According to following main points, be produced in the basic unit that forms by pure Ni the sample of the multiple composite material on the top layer that forms by pure Nb with various condition diffusion-bonded.Prepare in advance as basic unit raw-material pure Ni sheet (wide 30mm, long 100mm, thick 0.5mm) and as raw-material pure Nb sheet (the wide 30mm on top layer, long 100mm, thick 0.15mm), they are superimposed, carry out the roll crimping in cold worked mode, obtain the compressing piece that thickness is 0.28mm thus.The continuous annealing furnace that this compressing piece is enclosed by Ar atmosphere is implemented diffusion annealing with the multiple condition shown in the table 1, each composite material that obtains is implemented cold rolling, and the thickness of each composite material is adjusted into 0.15mm.In addition, in vacuum furnace, carry out batch annealing for a part of compressing piece with the condition shown in the table 1, cold rolling to the composite material enforcement that obtains, make it reach above-mentioned thickness.
The sample of each composite material of making is as mentioned above imbedded in the resin, the resin mass that obtains is ground, the cross section of the composite material of imbedding is exposed on the surface.Then, for the sample of each composite material, utilize electron microscope (1000~3500 times of multiplying powers) to measure the average thickness of the NiNb intermetallic compounds layer that between the basic unit of this composite material and top layer, generates.In addition, choose analytic plate, utilize oxygen nitrogen analysis device (model EMGA-520, the hole field makes made) that the oxygen amount is measured from each composite material.Because the oxygen amount in the basic unit is about 1~2ppm, and is considerably less, thus with the oxygen amount measured as the oxygen amount in the top layer.In table 1, show these measurement results together.
Then, utilize above-mentioned each composite material, as shown in Figure 2, do not carry out intermediate annealing, by the pull and stretch processing of 10 operations, deep drawing shaping external diameter is that 1.1mm, internal diameter are that 0.9mm, pipe minister are the cup-shaped sparking electrode of 4mm, the slight crack generation state of the cup-shaped sparking electrode after visualization is shaped.In table 1, show this result together.Because the basic unit of composite material has good ductility, thereby for the composite material of any one sample, with the skin of the corresponding cup-shaped sparking electrode of the basic unit of composite material, all do not produce slight crack, can be formed into final operation always.On the other hand, in composite material, shown in the forming results of table 1,, the situation that produces slight crack is arranged at the internal layer of the cup-shaped sparking electrode corresponding with the top layer of composite material.By inference, this slight crack is the distortion that can not catch up with basic unit when being shaped because of the top layer of composite material, and breaking forms.
According to table 1, because the average thickness of NiNb intermetallicization and thing layer is controlled in below the 6.5 μ m in the composite material of example, and the oxygen amount on top layer is also below 380ppm, so obtain good deep drawing formability.Relative therewith, in the dew point of Ar gas was sample No.4 and 5 composite material more than-35 ℃, the oxygen amount on top layer became too much more than 700ppm, and the ductility on top layer worsens, and produces slight crack on the top layer.In addition, in the composite material of the annealed test portion No.3 of vacuum furnace, because the time that is maintained at more than 800 ℃ is elongated inevitably, intermetallic compounds layer is exceedingly grown up, thereby the deep drawing deterioration.
