Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to glassy metal micro-nano structure processing technique field, relate in particular to thermoplastic molding's processing method of the little member of a kind of glassy metal.
Background technology
Glassy metal is a kind of new type of metal material, is referred to as amorphous metal again, and its internal structure shows as the unordered non crystalline structure of long-range of class glass.Glassy metal has a lot of excellent characteristic, has both had the performance of conventional crystal material, has the characteristic of conventional oxide glass again.Glassy metal is in the characteristic that has metal aspect electric conductivity, intensity, the thermal conductivity, but but the atom that is similar to glass on atomic arrangement equally is lack of alignment.Glassy metal has very high intensity, hardness, elasticity, rigidity and excellent magnetics, corrosion-resistant, abrasion resistance properties etc., and it can stand 180 ° of bent without breaking, and the fracture toughness value can reach 5 times of steel, is the perfect material of making parts such as electromagnetic sensor.In addition, glassy metal can also replace quartzy make radar, computer lead material, sensing element etc.At present,,, a lot of patents is arranged also in that more achievement in research is arranged aspect the preparation of bulk metallic glass at glassy metal, but few to the research of the micro-structural forming technique of glassy metal.Consider the excellent characteristic of glassy metal, it will be with a wide range of applications in the micro-nano precision component, thereby the glassy metal processing method of seeking low cost, efficient, high-quality, the processing that can walk abreast is necessary very much.
Glassy metal is at its glass transition temperature T
gHave good plasticity when above, its structure just is converted into crystal structure easily and loses the superperformance that non crystalline structure has behind the crystallization temperature but arrived.Thereby the processing method of generation high temperature such as cutting, laser and be not suitable for the processing of glassy metal micro-structural.
Summary of the invention
The present invention utilizes glassy metal to have the characteristics of good thermoplastic between its glass transition temperature and crystallization temperature thereof, and a kind of convenience, thermoplastic molding's processing method of the little member of glassy metal cheaply are provided.
Thermoplastic molding's processing method of the little member of a kind of glassy metal comprises step:
(1) glassy metal is positioned in the mould and to limiting at the edge of glassy metal;
(2), make the temperature of glassy metal reach the glass transition temperature T of this glassy metal with the precharge heating in vacuum environment or air of the described glassy metal of step (1)
gMore than and its below crystallization temperature, increase pressure and make the micro-structural on the mould be pressed in the glassy metal, pressurize is cooled to the glass transition temperature T of this glassy metal
gAfter cancel pressure, then be cooled to solid folder temperature T
uAfter clamp glassy metal, continue to be cooled to calcining temperature T
dAfter carry out the demoulding, through cut edge handling, obtain the little member of glassy metal.
Described glassy metal comprises the various types of glassy metals in this area, can select bulk metallic glass (Bulk metallic glass) or glassy metal strip for use.

u) α
pWherein, α
mBe the thermal coefficient of expansion of mould, α
pThe thermal coefficient of expansion that is, T
gIt is the glass transition temperature of glassy metal.
Described mould is made of mold that cooperatively interacts and bed die, and wherein bed die is a grooved, and the sidewall by bed die limits the edge of described glassy metal.
The frontal projected area of described mold on bed die when mold and bed die clamping glassy metal, can form the die cavity of accurate sealing like this less than the area of groove in the bed die.
Shrink for the uniformity that further guarantees glassy metal and mould, still need clamp glassy metal during the demoulding.Can utilize clamping device and bed die to clamp the position of glassy metal at the mold periphery, when making mold break away from glassy metal, glassy metal guarantees to shrink with the uniformity of mould under the effect of clamping device and bed die.
Described clamping device can be selected this area device with clamping ability commonly used for use, can limit glassy metal with its parts that are used for the clamping glassy metal is as the criterion in the position of mold periphery, for example, can select the demoulding cover with the coaxial setting of mould for use, clamp the position of glassy metal by demoulding cover and bed die during the demoulding at the mold periphery.
In the step (2), described glassy metal is chosen in precharge heating in vacuum environment or the air, can decide on the size of the microstructure features yardstick on the concrete mould; When the microstructure features yardstick on the mould is in 100 μ m and above magnitude, air in the micro-structural on the mould is easier to discharge when thermoplasticity compression moulding, in order to improve working (machining) efficiency, can not carry out the extracting vacuum operation, at this moment, select glassy metal precharge heating in air; When the microstructure features yardstick on the mould is in 10 μ m and following magnitude, because the air in the micro-structural on the mould is difficult to discharge fully when thermoplasticity compression moulding, influence the little molding component quality of glassy metal, at this moment, the extracting vacuum step can not be omitted, and selects glassy metal precharge heating in vacuum environment; When the microstructure features yardstick on the mould is between 10 μ m~100 μ m, can determine according to actual processing result.
The useful effect that the present invention has is:
The present invention has used for reference in the injection mo(u)lding because cavity closed makes the internal feature structure can obtain the advantage of better filling, and by limiting the glassy metal edge in advance, and is cooled to solid folder temperature T at the glassy metal through the mould punching press
uAfter clamp glassy metal and be cooled to calcining temperature T until glassy metal through the mould punching press
d, make to form an accurate sealing die cavity between mould and glassy metal, can significantly improve the pressure at the microstructure features place on the die cavity, compared to the pressing process of an open die cavity, can significantly improve its charging efficiency.
The elastic modelling quantity that the present invention is directed to glassy metal is bigger, and the thermal coefficient of expansion between mould and glassy metal differs greatly, stress takes place and concentrates in the root of the little member of glassy metal easily when making cooling and demolding, the problem that the feature of the little member of glassy metal is destroyed when causing the demoulding, propose the homogeneity contraction method and guarantee that mould is identical with amount of contraction between glassy metal, thereby improve the little member final molding of glassy metal quality.
The inventive method shaping efficiency height, high conformity, the processing that can walk abreast, cost is low, need not special device, and is suitable for suitability for industrialized production.
Adopt the little member of the inventive method processing metal glass, its mould can repeatedly reuse, and can cut down finished cost significantly.Simultaneously the inventive method also has the processing of can walking abreast and extends to advantage in the processing of glassy metal nanoscale member.
