The phosphate laser glass surface surface enhanced ion exchange method
Technical field
The present invention relates to phosphate laser glass, particularly a kind of phosphate laser glass surface surface enhanced ion exchange method.
Background technology
Phosphate glass has advantageous properties such as phonon energy is moderate, high to rare earth ion solubleness, nonlinear factor is little makes it become the widest laser glass medium of use.The Application Areas of phosphate laser glass has contained laser-produced fusion, laser weapon, laser ranging, optical communication orthoron, ultrashort pulse laser application.
High repetition frequency, high-average power laser require increasingly high to the thermal shock resistance of laser glass under the high-strength light pumping condition.But phosphate glass is that typical brittleness material, the coefficient of expansion are big and chemicalstability is relatively poor; Surface and the inferior surperficial defective that exists processing to cause; Cause that crack propagation very easily takes place instability under external force, medium and thermal environment effect; So the surface imperfection especially influence of tiny crack makes the thermal shock resistance of phosphate laser glass under the high-strength light pumping condition lower, has limited the application of phosphate laser glass.
Thereby utilize chemical process to be called chemical enhancement method, claim that again IX strengthens method in the method that the prefabricated compressive stress layer of glass surface improves the glass machinery performance.It is that the glass surface enhanced is a kind of that IX strengthens; Its principle is that the mechanism according to ion diffusion changes glass surface and forms, and is immersed in glass in the high-temperature molten salt at a certain temperature, and alkalimetal ion in the glass and the alkalimetal ion in the fused salt because of diffusion mutual exchange take place; The IX that radius is big in the fused salt goes out the little ion of glass surface radius; Make glass surface produce " jammed " phenomenon, produce stress, thereby improve glass intensity at glass surface.
Na is used in general IX more

+, K
+The Na of exchange glass surface
+, the little ion of IX radius that promptly radius is big produces stress, makes glass get intensity and is improved.But surface, exchange back can't effectively be repaired, and the chemicalstability of glass can reduce relatively.
Summary of the invention
The invention provides a kind of phosphate laser glass surface surface enhanced ion exchange method; This method can make folding strength, microhardness, the embrittlement temperature of phosphate laser glass be greatly improved, and therefore can significantly improve repetition rate and the thermal destruction threshold value of phosphate laser glass under xenon flash lamp pumping.And make the surface obtain repairing.The surface that can be widely used in phosphate laser glass strengthens.
Technical solution of the present invention is following:
A kind of phosphate laser glass surface surface enhanced ion exchange method, characteristics are may further comprise the steps:
The first step: pending phosphate laser glass; Hereinafter to be referred as sample; With handling 50 minutes and cleaned at 60 ℃ in the NaOH solution of 4.0mol/L, handled 40 minutes with the 1.0mol/L buffered hydrofluoric acid solution at 80 ℃ afterwards, at last at normal temperatures with deionized water wash and oven dry with deionized water;

The invention has the advantages that:
1, potassium ion that radius of the present invention is big and barium ion can both get into glass surface and form compressive stress layer, and compressive stress layer can stop the expansion of glass surface tiny crack.
2, ion-exchange temperature of the present invention is higher, and potassium ion and the barium ion exchange degree of depth is deep, and the compressive stress layer of formation is thicker, physical strength that can bigger raising glass.
3, barium ion of the present invention at high temperature can combine with phosphate glass surface unsaturated link(age), thereby the repair of playing surperficial key improves the Surface Physical performance
Phosphate laser glass after the present invention handles can form thicker better compressive stress layer; Make it have higher microhardness, folding strength, embrittlement temperature, therefore can increase substantially repetition rate and the thermal destruction threshold value of phosphate laser glass under xenon flash lamp pumping.
