Advantage of the present invention is:
1, the manganese elemental gas such as oxygen uptake very easily at first carries out repeatedly electron beam melting, arc melting or induction melting to starting material manganese under vacuum or inert gas environment.Can eliminate like this volatile matter and low melting point impurity, make the purity of manganese become higher, simultaneously repeatedly remelting can make gas content lower, thereby satisfies the requirement of target, makes that spatter film forming is more even, performance is better.Should under the environment of rare gas element, preserve after the manganese ingot is melted, prevent the aerial oxidation of manganese.
2, with electron beam melting or induction melting manganese and platinum metals are smelted into intermediate alloy ingot, the content of master alloy manganese can be 5% ~ 95%, and master alloy is convenient to preserve and is also preserved with inert gas seal.If the alloy of the direct required composition of melting in fusion process, under the normal temperature and pressure, about 1244 ℃ of the fusing point of manganese, 1962 ℃ of boiling points are 1.33 * 10
2The rough vacuum environment is lower, and the boiling point of manganese is 1522 ℃, and vacuum more high boiling point is lower.And the fusing point of platinum metals is generally all higher, all more than 1500 ℃, if direct molten alloy can cause a large amount of volatilizations of manganese under vacuum environment, composition is difficult to control, the composition precision also is difficult to reach, as under at inert gas environment directly molten alloy then be difficult to get rid of gas in the alloy.Therefore further degasification of melting master alloy also provides the basis for next step preparation alloy.
3, on the basis of gained master alloy, suitably prepare burden, alloy is configured to needed composition, under protection of inert gas, be smelted into alloy pig with induction melting.The mould that adopts is water cooled copper mould, circumferentially insulation.This class alloy is easy to produce grain-boundary crack when solidifying, cause alloy not fine and close, and intensity is low, and macroscopic view is loose serious, and rapid solidification can reduce these defectives as much as possible, makes dendrite arm more tiny, and composition is more even.Make alloy fine and close, eliminate loose and pore.Alloy when cast suitably control water temperature and water speed, circumferentially insulation has comparatively high temps, makes alloy from the bottom consecutive solidification, the defective such as loose and be mingled with is concentrated on the port part that emits of final set.Dendrite arm is along the direction growth of thermograde, form the fine and close tiny column crystal perpendicular to the target surface growth, eliminate the defectives such as loose and shrinkage cavity of grain-boundary crack and macroscopic view, it is upper without casting flaw to obtain macroscopic view, on the microcosmic crystal grain all perpendicular to target surface tiny evenly, the consistent structure of composition.When machining, can reduce as much as possible the cracked tendency of target base along the direction processing perpendicular to dendrite arm.
4, when alloy is cooled to 100 ℃ ~ 1000 ℃, alloy is taken out rapidly, the annealing furnace of putting under the protection of inert gas is annealed.Alloy directly cools off in stove, is easy to exist macrocrack in various degree.This class alloy has formed complicated fragility phase when solidifying, also have phase transformation to occur in the process of solid-state cooling, simultaneous casting stress, visible macroscopic view cracking often during to room temperature.The alloy unrelieved stress is larger in addition, also can have larger distortion in the machining process, and the release of stress has also increased the trend of alloy cracking.Therefore finish to solidify to be transformed at alloy and it is carried out protection of inert gas when solid-state and with furnace annealing its phase transformation is carried out slowly, eliminate stress simultaneously.
5, ingot casting is carried out the line cutting, carry out subsequently ground finish, make alloy reach desired accurate dimension and surface quality, simultaneously machining liquid is reclaimed purification.
In a word, the present invention can provide a kind of manganese alloy sputtering target material, and its oxygen level is below 200ppm, and purity is 99.9% ~ 99.999%, and composition is accurate, even, and density is high, and the target size is accurate, and surface quality is high, has fine tissue.By manufacture method of the present invention, can under short as far as possible flow process, prepare low-costly and in high volume this alloy system target, and overcome material preparation difficulty and the very crisp processing difficulties of bringing of alloy that this alloy is prone in preparation process, obtain having the manganese alloy sputtering target material of excellent properties.
The present invention will be further described below by the drawings and specific embodiments, but and do not mean that limiting the scope of the invention.
