With HDH titanium valve, (purity>=99%, Li Du≤50 μ m) and rare earth Er 2o 3powder (purity>=99.95%, Li Du≤10 μ is m) raw material, urea granules (particle diameter is between 700-1000 μ m), as pore-forming material, adopts prior powder metallurgy blended elemental to prepare titanium foam.Experiment is 70% according to porosity, and specimen size is that φ 12mm × 10 mm designs, rare earth Er 2o 3the addition of powder is set to 6 level: 0,0.25,0.50,0.75,1.0,2.0wt%, as shown in table 1.
The Er2O3 content that the different samples of table 1 are corresponding
Figure 34542DEST_PATH_IMAGE002
As shown in Figure 1, the main processes that prepared by sample comprises: the removing and vacuum sintering of the mixing of raw material, compression moulding, pore-forming material.First, by load weighted titanium valve and rare earth Er 2o 3powder carries out the about 5min of ground and mixed in mortar, after it tentatively mixes, pack in V-type mixer and mix 30min with urea granules again, rotating speed is about 86 revs/min, to be mixedly pours in mould after evenly, die size is φ 12mm × 20 mm, then use hydraulic single column press compression moulding, pressure used is about 200 Mp, and the dwell time is made as fixed value 1min, the raw compact specimen diameter obtaining is 12mm, highly approaches 10mm.Raw pressed compact is carried out to sintering in the vacuum carbon tube furnace having under argon shield atmosphere, and (vacuum keep is 10 -3level), within the scope of 0~450 ℃, slowly heat to remove pore-forming material, temperature rise rate is 2 ℃/min, within the scope of 450~1250 ℃, temperature rise rate is 10 ℃/min, in the time that temperature is raised to 1250 ℃ of sintering temperatures, be incubated 3 h, then cool to room temperature with the furnace, obtained adding the titanium foam sample of different content rare earth Er 2O3.
The volume ratio of titanium valve and urea granules is 6~7:3~6, as 7:3 is advisable; Titanium valve and rare earth Er 2o 3the weight ratio of powder is that 95:5 is advisable.
(2) performance test and the analysis of the titanium foam sample that contains rare earth Er 2O3.
Adopt drainage to measure the density of titanium foam sample.Porosity ε=the 1-of titanium foam ρ/ ρ 0, the density that wherein ρ is actual samples, ρ 0for the density (ρ of titanium skeleton 0=4.51g/cm 3).The porosity key of mensuration material is the mensuration of porous material and solid material density, and this experiment selects drainage to measure the density of titanium foam.Before measuring, with Vaseline, titanium foam is carried out to sealing of hole processing.Measuring method is as follows: i sample obtains M through cleaning except weighing in air after oil drying empty; Ii sample, after suitable liquid infiltration processing or surface-coated, is again weighed and is obtained M in air , empty; Iii is suspended from said sample in water, measures the weight M of sample in water water; The density of iv institute test specimens is calculated as follows:
Figure 2012103685641100002DEST_PATH_IMAGE003
For reducing error, the measurement of every inferior quality is all surveyed three times and is averaged.M , emptymeasurement the most key, this experimental water is as medium, thus experiment should be soaked two hours applying after Vaseline in water, after load-bearing three times in air, average.
Due to the weak inductive of metal titanium, sample carries out metal spraying processing, with surface topography and the cross-section morphology of scanning electron microscopic observation titanium foam.Compression experiment adopts newly thinks carefully universal electrical experimental machine.Before experiment, first check whether cylindrical sample bottom surface is plane, and whether two bottom surfaces are parallel, proofread and correct otherwise need to tie sample; After all are appropriate, the performance of material being detected, is mainly Young's modulus, plateau stress, appearance of fracture etc.
Adopt powder metallurgy blended elemental successfully to prepare the interpolation different content rare earth Er of porosity between 64 %~73% in conjunction with pore-forming material technology 2o 3titanium foam.
Fig. 2 is the prepared titanium foam sample out of experiment, and as can be seen from the figure, even pore distribution, physically well develops.Porosity is the of paramount importance feature of porous material.But experimental result is found porosity and the Er of titanium foam sample 2o 3between addition, there is no dependency.Occur that this phenomenon mainly gives the credit to pore-forming material and removes left macropore and make sintering process become more complicated, cause being difficult to assess Er 2o 3on the impact of porosity.In addition, the volumetric shrinkage that sintering process occurs will have influence on the shape of macropore, causes the shared volume difference of macropore of various sample.Therefore,, from the angle of porosity, be difficult to investigate rare earth Er by quantitative analysis 2o 3on the impact of titanium foam density.
Fig. 3 is the stereoscan photograph of microscopic appearance on the titanium foam hole wall of different Er2O3 content.As can be seen from the figure, remove by pore-forming material the impact that left macroscopical macropore is added by rare earth Er 2O3 hardly, and microcosmic aperture on hole wall there is obvious variation.In the time that rare earth addition is less than 0.75%, along with the increase of content of rare earth, the number of the microcosmic aperture on its hole wall reduces to some extent, and the size of aperture also reduces to some extent.Continuing increases content of rare earth, and the quantity of microcosmic aperture starts to increase, and the size of micropore increases slightly to some extent, the density reduction of hole wall.
Fig. 3 has disclosed in the time that addition is less than 0.75wt%, has added different rare earth Ers 2o 3the density of the titanium foam of content is more and more finer and close.But, excessive Er 2o 3cause density to decline.From the angle of qualitative analysis, work as rare earth Er 2o 3when addition is 0.5wt%, the density of titanium foam skeleton is the highest.
Fig. 4 is the fracture apperance of titanium foam sample.Fig. 4 (a) has shown and has not added Er 2o 3the fracture apperance sintering of pure foam titanium incomplete, can observe significantly and on hole wall, contain a large amount of micropores and significantly tiny crack, sintering neck ateliosis and have discontinuous phase constitution structure.And when adding rare earth Er 2o 3when content is 0.5wt%, the microcosmic aperture on titanium foam sample hole wall reduces greatly, and weave construction is more fine and close, mainly complete owing to sintering, as shown in Fig. 4 (b).In addition, the good and size distribution of grain growth is evenly as Fig. 4 (d).But rare earth Er is worked as in Fig. 4 (c) demonstration 2o 3although can crystal grain further be grown up by continuing acceleration of sintering when addition is increased to 2.0wt%, make the pore size on hole wall become large, this is mainly the result of assembling in sintering diffusion process due to hole.
To sum up, appropriate rare earth Er 2o 3improve the density of material by producing liquid phase in sintering process.But, excessive Er 2o 3but the density that has reduced titanium skeleton when having promoted sintering on the one hand, causes the decline of titanium foam sample performance.Relation between the density of titanium foam sample and rare earth addition can be analyzed from angle qualitatively, and the density that addition of 0~0.75wt% can improve titanium foam sample exceedes 0.75wt% and reduced density.
The mechanical property that adopts compression testing to test titanium foam sample.Young's modulus and yield strength are the of paramount importance performances of porous material.The mechanical property of titanium foam sample and Er 2o 3relation between addition is as shown in Fig. 2.
The mechanical property of table 2 titanium foam sample
Figure 2012103685641100002DEST_PATH_IMAGE004
With do not add Er 2o 3sample compare, the Young's modulus of titanium foam and yield strength are along with Er 2o 3the increase of addition presents the trend of first increases and then decreases.Especially, work as Er 2o 3when addition is 0.5wt%, the Young's modulus of titanium foam and yield strength reach a maximum value, are respectively 11.56GPa and 24.21MPa.From table, can be clear that rare earth Er 2o 3can effectively improve the mechanical property of titanium foam sample, and rare earth Er 2o 3optimum addition should be 0.5wt%.
The present invention by adding the rare earth Er of different content in raw material 2o 3, adopt powder metallurgy blended elemental successfully to prepare porosity between 64%~73% closed-cell foam titanium in conjunction with pore-forming material technology.
When rare earth Er 2O3 addition is during between 0.25~0.75wt%, along with the increase of addition, the quantity of the microcosmic aperture on the matrix skeleton of titanium foam sample reduces, size reduction, causes skeleton density to increase, and prepared sample performance is also better; And in the time that addition exceedes 0.75wt%, titanium skeleton density declines to some extent, corresponding is the deterioration of the mechanical property of material.Therefore, rare earth Er 2o 3affect the final mechanical property of material by the weave construction that changes titanium foam sample.
Experiment shows, in the time that rare earth addition is 0. 5wt%, and performance the best of prepared titanium foam sample out, its Young's modulus and yield strength are respectively 11.56GPa and 24.21MPa.
Finally explanation is, above embodiment is only unrestricted in order to technical scheme of the present invention to be described, although the present invention is had been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiment, those of ordinary skill in the art is to be understood that, can modify or be equal to replacement technical scheme of the present invention, and not departing from aim and the scope of technical solution of the present invention, it all should be encompassed in the middle of claim scope of the present invention.
