Can be used for the atmosphere clock hood type furnace of ITO target sintering
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of industrial sintering furnace, particularly relate to a kind of atmosphere clock hood type furnace.
Background technology
ITO target is Indium sesquioxide. and stannic oxide powder mix by a certain percentage after through a series of production technology machine-shaping, then the black gray expandable ceramic semiconductors that high-temperature atmosphere sintering (more than 1600 DEG C, logical oxygen sintering) is formed. ITO target is a kind of novel indium tin oxide features ceramic material, is the deep processing new high-tech product of scattered metals indium. ITO target is to produce one of extremely important material of transparent conducting film glass, in addition expensive, and production process difficulty is relatively big, is still the material of international market shortage so far, only has minority developed country can produce high performance ITO target at present in the world.
Dividing by current production technology, ITO target mainly has three kinds of preparation methoies: pressure sintering, hot isostatic pressing method and atmosphere sintering process. But first two preparation method is owing to existing some defects intrinsic in technique, product quality is difficult to obtain the lifting of matter. Adopting sintering process technique to prepare ITO target, it is necessary to specific sintering furnace, kiln maximum temperature requires to reach 1600 DEG C, because this equipment technology content is high, and the domestic manufacturing technology not yet grasping this kiln. Further, this high temperature kiln maintenance workload is very big, and prior art is it is difficult to ensure that effective after-sale service. Though the sintering furnace of the paid trial production this type of the external producer of part, textural anomaly is complicated, and equipment price is expensive.
Therefore, the large-scale atmosphere sintering furnace of the nucleus equipment of ITO target is designed and improves so that it is more adapting to the demand of self technique and then the raising of promotion ITO target development & production level, this is the problem of current those skilled in the art solution urgently.
