Description

The technology of preparing alumina-based continuous fiber with sol-gel method
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of preparation technology that can be used as the continuous aluminium oxide base fiber of winding, lamination or other two-dimentional 3 D weavings.
Background technology
Sapphire whisker is a kind of of high-performance inorganic fiber.It is with Al 2O 3Be main component, contain other additive metal oxide, as SiO 2And B 2O 3Deng.Sapphire whisker has the thermotolerance and the high temperature oxidation resistance of high strength, high-modulus, excellence, compares with other fiber, can keep its excellent intensity under higher temperature.Sapphire whisker has forms such as long fibre, short fiber, whisker, can make multiple shapes such as cloth, band, rope, is widely used in high-tech areas such as space flight, aviation, automobile, electric power.The sapphire whisker good surface activity is easy to and metal, Ceramic Composite, can be used for making fibre reinforced metal-based and ceramic matric composite; It is little to have thermal conductivity, and thermal expansivity is low, advantages such as good thermal shock, can be used for improving ceramic matrix toughness, increase resistance to impact shock.
Alumina-based continuous fiber is a kind of ceramic fiber that utilizes dry-spinning or wet spinning spining technology to make.Compare with alumina short fibre, it can twine, be woven into two dimension or three-dimensional fiber preform, the enhancing body that is used for matrix material, and then improve the resistance toheat that the strength of materials and flexible while do not reduce material, be widely used in fields such as aerospace, automobiles.
The classical production process of alumina-based continuous fiber has high-temperature fusion spin processes, collosol and gel spin processes and mixed solution spin processes.The high-temperature fusion spin processes is to contain the alumina powder jointed of partial oxidation silicon, under the situation of adding a small amount of additive, and as magnesium oxide, boron oxide, heat makes the mixed powder fusion, and the melt wire drawing after the fusing is obtained alumina based fibre.The mixed solution spinning is that aluminum oxide and silica powder body and function organic binder bond are deployed into the slip with finite concentration and viscosity, makes the alumina based fibre raw silk by the method for pushing, and high temperature sintering obtains alumina based fibre then.But the common drawback of these two kinds of methods is that melt temperature or sintering temperature are higher.
The sol-gel method spinning technique have mixed-scale little, mix, have low advantage of burning till temperature.。Document [Journal of the European Ceramic Society, 1998,18:1879~1884] adopt aluminum nitrate+aluminum isopropylate respectively, aluminum chloride+aluminium powder and aluminum nitrate+aluminium powder are as the aluminium source, do the silicon source with tetraethoxy and silicon sol, utilize the hydrolytic polymerization of aluminum isopropylate and tetraethoxy or the viscosity that the reaction of aluminium powder under acidic conditions improves spinning colloidal sols stoste, adjust aluminum-containing raw material and silicon-containing material ratio, colloidal sol stoste is concentrated the colloidal sol that obtains having spinning property in certain temperature, obtain fiber precursor with crystal pulling method, by drying, obtain mullite fiber at 1100 ℃ of sintering.Document [CeramicsInternational, 1999,25:539~543; Materials Letters, 2002,57:87~93] then utilize traditional sol gel process, by adding silicon sol, adopt and get rid of a technology, made the polycrystalline alumina fiber reticulated structure of high aluminium content.
The method that above technology adopted is to utilize the hydrolytic-polymeric reaction of aluminum isopropylate and the positive own ester of silicic acid as the way that improves viscosity; perhaps utilize the viscosity of the aluminium powder reaction under acidic conditions raising solution; the blending process complexity; wayward by the viscosity that reaction is regulated, be unfavorable for the large-scale production of alumina based fibre.
By utilizing high molecular polymer can improve the spinning property of colloidal sol, take need not or use less the operational path of aluminum isopropylate and the positive own ester of silicic acid.Document [Materials Chemistry and Physics, 2004,83:54~59] utilize methylcellulose gum to make spin finish aid, with aluminum chloride as the aluminium source, it is 500 microns that the colloidal sol for preparing is pressed through diameter, and length-to-diameter ratio is 10 nozzle acquisition sapphire whisker base substrate, solidifies in the 2-Virahol, with the evaporation of 2-Virahol, last sintering obtains and makes sapphire whisker then.Document [Journal of the European Ceramic Society, 2000,20:2543~2549] then to have introduced with lactic acid or polyvinyl alcohol and done the technology that spin finish aid prepares alumina based fibre, the fiber that lactic acid and aluminium colloidal sol reaction generation Aluctyl make has preferable performance.But do spin finish aid with polyvinyl alcohol, it is big to burn till fiber weakness.Document [Journal of the European Ceramic Society, 2006,26:2611~2617] utilize Natvosol as spin finish aid, in alumina sol, add magnesium nitrate, with syringe alumina based fibre is expressed in the ammoniacal liquor and solidifies, burn till through drying at room temperature and 1600 ℃ then, made and contain magnesian alumina based fibre.But it is higher that the shortcoming of these methods is sintering temperatures.
