Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of gel injection moulding preparation of metal and ceramic gradient material in alternating magnetic field, belong to material
Preparation field.
Background technology
Ceramic material is widely applied because of properties such as its unique high rigidity, high abrasion, high temperature resistant, chemical property stabilizations
In industrial circles such as electronics, machinery, national defence.But fragility is big after ceramic material sintering, bad mechanical property, it is difficult to be machined out.
The forming method of ceramic material, generally can be divided into the major class of dry and wet two.Comparatively speaking, wet therapy forming process equipment it is simple,
Molding blank component is uniform, defect is few, be easy to shaping complicated shape part the advantages of, practicality is stronger.But traditional wet method into
Type technology all be present, absorbs water to realize by plaster mold such as injection forming, causes to form density gradient in base substrate
Distribution and inhomogeneous deformation, and blank strength is low, it is easy to damage.Injection moulding or injection moulding need to add mass fraction and be up to
20% wax or organic matter, causes skimming processes cumbersome, and the thawing or evaporation of bonding agent make the intensity decreases of base substrate, is easily formed and lacked
Fall into and even collapse.These problems improve the production cost of ceramic material, reduce the stability of its quality.It is the beginning of the nineties, beautiful
State's Oak Ridge National Laboratory has invented a kind of brand-new ceramic material wet-forming technique-Gelcasting Technique, mainly
Production process is:Mixing → shaping of ceramic raw material and medium → exclusion medium → drying → sintering.
Traditional ceramic preparation method combination organic monomer polymerization is generated high molecular method by the technology, utilizes organic list
Ceramic powder suspended substance in-situ solidifying is prepared complicated shape by body polymerization by technical process such as drying, dumping, sintering afterwards
Near net-shape ceramic component.The technical characterstic is:Organic monomer content is low, and product size precision is high, and blank strength is high, can carry out
Machining, hence it is evident that better than the moulding process of other complicated shape ceramic components, organic additive is free of residual impurity after burning,
It is widely applied in high-quality, special shape high technology ceramics element production.
FGM(FGM)It is that class composition structure and performance are continuous or quasi-continuous in material thickness or length direction
The inhomogeneous composite materials of change.If the component one kind for constituting functionally gradient material (FGM) is ceramics, another is metal, then can be real
The performance all not reached during existing ceramics and metal exclusive use.Main preparation methods have powder compacting, vapour deposition process, self- propagating
React synthesis, plasma spraying, electrocasting, galvanoplastic, laser sintered and centrifugal casting etc..These preparation methods require complicated
Technique or equipment, need constantly feed change composition or technological parameter in preparation process mostly.Lack the preparation side of simplicity
Method, is the major reason that limitation function functionally gradient material (FGM) further develops.
At present, for many important FGMs such as:ZrO2/Ni, ZrO2/ steel, Al2O3/Ni, SiC/Fe etc.,
The transition metal such as metal constituent element Fe, Ni, Co belong to ferromagnetic material, and ceramic component A l2O3, ZrO2, SiC, AlN, Si3N4
Etc. being weak magnetic substance.Ferromagnetic material has ferromagnetism below Curie temperature, and weak magnetic substance is insensitive to magnetic field.Profit
With the difference of magnetic property therebetween, our groups successively use adopts in magnetostatic field, pulsed magnetic field, rotating excitation field and moving magnetic field
Functionally gradient material (FGM) is successfully prepared with gel injection-moulding method, correlation technique authorized patent of invention.
Regrettably, although above-mentioned several method can prepare FGM, to the magnetic property of sample constituent element
Require.There must be ferromagnetism in the component of system(Ferromagnetism, ferrimagnetism)Constituent element and weak magnetic(Anti-ferromagnetism, paramagnetism,
Diamagnetism)Constituent element, otherwise can not be prepared using the above method.Therefore, there is significant limitations in above-mentioned several method.In the past few years,
Our groups update on original experiment basis, and make a breakthrough.On the basis of gel casting forming, profit
The movement of metal constituent element is controlled with alternating magnetic field, the continuous metal and ceramic gradient material of composition has successfully been prepared.
The present invention principle be:Metal material generally has good electric conductivity, can be because of the company in magnetic field in alternating magnetic field
Continue change and produce induced-current in material internal, judged according to Lenz's law, the magnetic field that induced current is produced should be hindered
The change of interior flux.Therefore, Induced magnetic field can produce the effect of power, magnetic force with alternating magnetic fieldFSize be:
Wherein,VIt is particle volume,MFor particle induced magnetism intensity, gradHFor magnetic field gradient.Magnetization M and input
Current strength is directly related, and current strength is bigger, then the intensity of magnetization of inducting is bigger.The location of magnetic field gradient and particle have
Close:In coil center of inside position, Distribution of Magnetic Field is uniform, and magnetic field gradient is zero, therefore the magnetic force that particle is subject to is zero;In coil
End position, magnetic field gradient is maximum, at the position, and the magnetic force that metallic particles is subject to is maximum.Therefore, metallic particles is by magnetic force
Size and the position of current strength, the frequency of alternating magnetic field and metal in magnetic field have relation.The usual resistance of ceramic material
Rate is very high, does not have vortex in alternating magnetic field and produces, therefore is not influenceed by alternating magnetic field.Then, based on metal and ceramic group
Member is different to alternating magnetic field corresponding, distribution of the metal constituent element in compound system can be controlled using alternating magnetic field, by solidifying
Glue injection molding prepares metal and ceramic gradient material.
The outstanding advantages of this method are exactly to apply alternating magnetic field on the basis of gel injection molding and forming technology to prepare gradient material
