[technical field]
The present invention relates to a kind of zirconium-base amorphous alloy and preparation method thereof.
[background technology]
Amorphous metal or alloy refer to when material is cooling rapidly from liquid (or gaseous state), because having little time crystallization in chamberTemperature or low temperature retain the state of aggregation of liquid atomic lack of alignment, and its atom is no longer long-range order, periodicity and ruleArrange, but locate a kind of long-range lack of alignment state. Compare with common crystalline state Metal and Alloy, amorphous metal with closeBecause its disordered structure does not exist crystal grain, crystal boundary, also there is not the lattice defect such as dislocation, slippage in gold, therefore has higherIntensity hardness, high-wearing feature, good magnetic performance and corrosion resistance etc., can be applied to high-grade electronic product,Sports goods, luxury goods, Aero-Space etc. The non-crystaline amorphous metal of existing excellent performance has generally all added rare earth element,And rare earth element is expensive resource, and reserves are limited, and this causes the cost of non-crystaline amorphous metal higher, has greatly limited amorphousThe commercial applications of alloy.

[detailed description of the invention]
Design of the present invention is: in existing non-crystaline amorphous metal, need to add rare earth element, reason is by adding rare earth unitThe methods such as element suppress alloy crystallization, amorphous alloy forming ability is strengthened, thereby had good glass forming ability.And the present invention is by the combination of component and technique, thus the prerequisite of not adding rare earth element in preparation processUnder, make the zirconium-base amorphous alloy making also there is good glass forming ability, its critical glass forms size maximum canReach 20mm.
The preparation method who proposes a kind of zirconium-base amorphous alloy in this detailed description of the invention, comprises the following steps:
1) according to the composition requirement of following zirconium-base amorphous alloy, a certain amount of metal is mixed, obtain mixed material;Consisting of of described zirconium-base amorphous alloy: ZraCubAlcNidXe, wherein, a, b, c, d, e is atomic percent,40≤a≤65; 10≤b≤30; 5≤c≤15; 1≤d≤15; 0 < e≤10; X is Nb, Pd, and Ti, Co, Fe,Hf, Si, in Ta one or more.
Element as above is as X element, and these element character are similar, and atomic radius and the performance of element differ notGreatly, all have and be suppressed to preferably nuclear capability, after combining according to a certain ratio with elements such as Zr, Cu, Al, Ni, canIn follow-up good inhibition alloy nucleation, form non-crystalline material, thereby needn't relying on the interpolation of rare earth element, realization reachesTo the object that suppresses alloy crystallization.
2) by step 1) mixed material that obtains adds in smelting furnace, smelting furnace is evacuated to vacuum and is less than 10-2PaOr under the inert gas shielding of gas purity >=99.9%, the fusing point that is heated to above melting alloy to be formed is (moltenPoint generally at 40~100 DEG C) temperature, melting 5~30min.
3) by step 2) after the alloy slagging-off that obtains of melting purifies, in cast into molds, mould is that thermal conductivity is greater thanThe material of 20W/mK makes, and makes the described zirconium-base amorphous alloy of the alloy rapid cooling formation of energy.
In above-mentioned steps, by melting by even mixed material melting, and by being smelted into after alloy, under system fusing pointFall, be down to 900 DEG C of left and right, be convenient to subsequent production. Casting cycle makes alloy be transformed into amorphous, when casting, and mould materialThe thermal conductivity of material is more than or equal to 20w/ (mK), is preferably greater than the material of 30w/ (mK), and thermal conductivity is higher, and alloy is quickCooling, thus alloy nucleation suppressed. Vacuum or inert gas shielding in fusion process, and in casting cycleThe thermal conductivity of mould all needs strict control, and thermal conductivity is larger, and material amorphous is more thorough; Vacuum is stricter, alloyGlass forming ability is stronger, thereby while cooperatively interacting, in conjunction with the improvement of component, finally in forming process, effectively suppressesAlloy nucleation, forms non-crystalline material, and obtains the good non-crystalline material of glass forming ability. Preferably, the material of mouldMatter is and the crystal structure of non-crystalline material and the large material of lattice constant difference that mould is selected with crystal structure and dot matrix normalThe large material of number difference, when alloy liquid contacts mould, the facilitation of die surface alloy Heterogeneous NucleationA little less than, can suppress preferably nucleation, promote to form non-crystalline material.
Further preferably, step 3) when casting, after the alloy slagging-off that melting is obtained is purified, in cast into molds after,Whole mould is added to the vibrations of ultrasonic wave high energy and process, make the rapid cooling formation zirconium-base amorphous alloy of alloy energy, be speciallyThe ingot bar of 12~20mm. Herein, the power 2 × 10 when the vibrations of ultrasonic wave high energy are processed4~6×104W. Super by addingAcoustic vibration processing, ultrasonic wave can further effectively suppress alloy heterogeneous nucleation process, promote non-crystalline material formation withAnd the growing up of crystal grain.
In this detailed description of the invention, by above-mentioned preparation method, do not rely on the interpolation of rare earth element, thereby make zirconium baseNon-crystaline amorphous metal, and can obtain relatively large body non-crystaline amorphous metal. The zirconium-base amorphous alloy making, with existing zirconium-base amorphous alloyCompare following advantage:

2) good glass forming ability. The glass forming ability of non-crystaline amorphous metal is restriction amorphous commercial applications in enormous quantitiesThe biggest factor, after deliberation, added the methods such as rare earth element in the past and be mainly the effect that performance suppresses alloy nucleation, makeAmorphous alloy forming ability is strengthened. And the zirconium-base amorphous alloy making in this detailed description of the invention is not adding rare earth elementPrerequisite under, also have good glass forming ability, empirical tests, its critical glass forms and is of a size of 15mm~20mm.
3) excellent physicochemical property, as higher hardness, higher yield strength, excellent corrosion resistance, good plasticity.
The cost of the product making in this detailed description of the invention is lower, and has good glass forming ability, has simultaneouslyHigh strength, hardness, wearability, corrosion resistance, better plasticity, feature cheaply, be applicable to business application on a large scaleEmpirical tests.
