Description

Microcrystalline glass and tempering method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of glass, in particular to microcrystalline glass and a toughening method and application thereof.
Background
The glass ceramics is a glass mixed material discovered by accident, and the structure and the performance of the glass ceramics have some special changes compared with the common glass materials, and the glass ceramics mainly show that the structure of the common glass is disordered and partially ordered. That is, the crystallized glass is a composite material composed of crystals and non-crystals.
Compared with common glass, the microcrystalline glass has the following advantages: high mechanical strength, excellent insulating property, less dielectric loss, stable dielectric constant, adjustable thermal expansion coefficient in a large range, good chemical corrosion resistance, good wear resistance, good thermal stability and high service temperature. The microcrystalline glass can be widely applied to structural materials with larger thickness, such as building materials. However, the thickness of the protective glass for display panels or some electronic devices is usually about 1mm, and the microcrystalline glass still shows the brittleness of common glass under the condition of about 1mm of thickness, the impact resistance often does not meet the requirements of products, and the protective glass is easy to break when being impacted by force.
The glass is toughened, so that the impact resistance of the glass can be improved. The existing glass toughening technology comprises physical toughening and chemical toughening, wherein the physical toughening refers to the following steps: the glass is heated to a proper temperature and then rapidly cooled to enable the surface of the glass to shrink rapidly to generate compressive stress, and the middle layer of the glass is cooled slowly to be short of the shrinkage, so that tensile stress is formed, and the glass obtains high strength. And chemical tempering means: the strength of glass is improved by changing the chemical composition of the surface of the glass, usually chemical tempering is carried out by adopting an ion exchange method, silicate glass containing alkali metal ions is immersed into metal salt in a molten state, so that the ions with smaller radius in the surface layer of the glass are exchanged with the ions with larger radius in tempered molten salt, for example, lithium ions in the glass are exchanged with potassium or sodium ions in a solution, sodium ions in the glass are exchanged with potassium ions in the solution, the embedding and extruding stress is formed on the surface layer of the glass by utilizing the difference of the volume of the alkali ions, and after the glass is cooled to normal temperature, the glass is in a state that an inner layer is pulled and an outer layer is pressed, so that the glass obtains higher strength.
However, the existing glass tempering technology is only suitable for common glass and is not suitable for microcrystalline glass. This is mainly due to: (1) the microcrystalline glass contains partial crystals in the structure, the existence of the crystals can prevent ions in the toughened salt from permeating into the glass matrix and hinder the ion exchange treatment, the ion exchange degree is low, and the impact strength of the glass is difficult to improve finally.

Sodium ions (and/or potassium ions) on the surface of the microcrystalline glass precursor are exchanged with lithium ions in the tempering salt through ion exchange, and the glass is crystallized to generate crystals. Specifically, a microcrystalline glass precursor is immersed into tempered molten salt to carry out ion exchange treatment, namely, the surface of the microcrystalline glass precursor is modified, so that sodium ions (and/or potassium ions) on the surface of the microcrystalline glass precursor are exchanged with metal ions (including lithium ions) in the tempered salt, the surface layer component of the microcrystalline glass precursor is changed, the surface of the glass contains lithium ions through ion permeation, the inner layer does not contain lithium ions through lithium ion permeation, and the glass with inconsistent inner layer components and outer layer components is prepared.

If the thermal expansion coefficient of the surface layer of the glass is smaller than that of the inner layer of the glass, the shrinkage rate of the surface layer of the glass relative to the inner layer of the glass is smaller in the cooling shrinkage process, and the inner layer of the glass applies compressive stress to the surface layer of the glass, so that the impact strength of the microcrystalline glass can be further improved.

Preferably, the step of preparing the tempered molten salt is: and (3) putting the metal salt into a tempering furnace, heating to melt the salt into a liquid state, and using the salt as a salt bath for ion exchange of the microcrystalline glass substrate.
In one embodiment, the temperature at which the metal salt is melted is 600 ℃ to 950 ℃.
In one embodiment, the lithium salt is selected from at least one of lithium nitrate, lithium carbonate, lithium chloride, and lithium hydroxide.
In a preferred embodiment, the metal salt further includes a potassium salt, and the potassium salt is at least one selected from potassium nitrate, potassium carbonate, potassium chloride and potassium hydroxide. By adding potassium salt, on one hand, the eutectic point formed by the salts with lower melting points such as potassium nitrate can be used to prepare the mixed salt with adjustable melting point, on the other hand, the concentration of lithium ions can be adjusted, the problem that the stability of the glass is reduced due to the overlarge concentration of the lithium ions in the glass is solved, and the purpose of adjusting the tempering degree is achieved.
In a more preferable embodiment, the metal salt is formed by mixing lithium carbonate and potassium nitrate according to a molar ratio of 1: 1-3: 1.
Preferably, the microcrystalline glass precursor is immersed in the toughened molten salt for ion exchange treatment and crystallization heat treatment, and the step of preparing the glass intermediate is as follows: preheating a microcrystalline glass precursor, then immersing the preheated microcrystalline glass precursor into tempering bath salt, so that molten tempering salt is enabled to be submerged in the microcrystalline glass precursor, and carrying out ion exchange treatment, namely modifying the surface of the microcrystalline glass precursor, so that sodium ions (and/or potassium ions) on the surface of the microcrystalline glass precursor are exchanged with metal ions (including lithium ions) in the tempering salt, so that the surface layer component of the microcrystalline glass precursor is changed, the surface of the glass contains the lithium ions through ion permeation, and the inner layer does not contain the lithium ions through the lithium ion permeation, thereby preparing the glass with inconsistent inner layer components and outer layer components. And when the microcrystalline glass precursor is subjected to ion exchange with toughened salt, the interior of the glass can generate atomic rearrangement due to heating so that the glass is nucleated and crystallized to form crystals, so that the inner layer and the surface layer of the microcrystalline glass precursor respectively form partially-arranged and orderly-arranged crystal structures, and the glass intermediate with inconsistent surface layer crystal phase and inner layer crystal phase or inconsistent surface layer crystal phase ratio and inner layer crystal phase ratio is prepared.
In the invention, the temperature of the toughening treatment is 600-950 ℃.
In one embodiment, the toughening treatment time is 5 min-10 h. The tempering time is short, and the tempering effect is good.
It is understood that, in the present invention, the temperature of the ion exchange treatment may be set to, but not limited to, 600 ℃, 620 ℃, 640 ℃, 650 ℃, 655 ℃, 670 ℃, 680 ℃, 700 ℃, 720 ℃, 750 ℃, 780 ℃, 800 ℃, 830 ℃, 850 ℃, 860 ℃, 870 ℃, 880 ℃, 900 ℃ and 950 ℃. The time of the ion exchange treatment may be set to, but not limited to, 5min, 10min, 15min, 20min, 25min, 30min, 45min, 60min, 1.5h, 2h, 2.5h, 3h, 3.5h, 4.5h, 5h, 5.5h, 6h, 6.5h, 7h, 7.5h, 8h, 8.5h, 9h, 9.5h, and 10 h.
In one preferable embodiment, the temperature of the ion exchange treatment and the crystallization heat treatment is 700-850 ℃, and the time is 1-4 h.
Preferably, the step of cooling the glass intermediate is: and slowly cooling the glass intermediate after the ion exchange treatment and crystallization are finished to prepare the glass ceramics. Because the surface crystal phase is inconsistent with the inner crystal phase or the surface crystal phase proportion is inconsistent with the inner crystal phase proportion, the thermal expansion coefficient difference exists, the shrinkage rates of the glass surface layer and the glass inner layer are inconsistent during cooling, the tempering stress is formed between the glass surface layer and the glass inner layer, the impact strength of the microcrystalline glass is improved, and the impact action of external force can be resisted.
In one embodiment, when the glass intermediate is subjected to cooling treatment, the cooling rate of the cooling treatment is 60-80 ℃/min.
Furthermore, according to the method for toughening the glass ceramics, the toughened glass ceramics with high transparency, and the semitransparent or opaque glass ceramics can be prepared by controlling the types of glass raw materials or the process conditions of ion exchange treatment.
In one preferable embodiment, the sodium oxide and/or potassium oxide accounts for 2 to 6 percent of the mass of the microcrystalline glass precursor; the microcrystalline glass precursor also comprises 45-60% of silicon dioxide, 15-30% of aluminum oxide, 1-2% of calcium oxide, 5-10% of magnesium oxide, 6-10% of zinc oxide, 2-6% of zirconium oxide, 1-4% of titanium dioxide, 2-4% of phosphorus pentoxide, 0-3% of boron oxide, 0-2% of tin oxide and 1-2% of antimony trioxide; the metal salt is prepared from lithium carbonate and potassium nitrate according to the molar ratio of 1: 1-3: 1.
Sodium ions (and/or potassium ions) on the surface of the microcrystalline glass precursor are exchanged with lithium ions in the tempering salt through ion exchange, and the glass is crystallized to generate crystals. The glass surface contains lithium ions by ion permeation, and the inner layer does not contain lithium ions by lithium ion permeation. Because the surface lithium ion is enriched, beta-eucryptite crystals with negative expansion coefficient characteristics or spodumene crystals with low expansion coefficients are precipitated on the surface layer of the glass, and the glass also contains a partially disordered structure. And the glass inner layer forms spinel or cordierite crystals having a positive expansion coefficient characteristic due to the lack of lithium ions. The two can form shrinkage value difference in the process of cooling from high temperature to room temperature, thereby forming surface stress, the surface stress intensity is high, and higher external impact force can be absorbed.
Preferably, the method for tempering glass ceramics further comprises a step of cleaning the cooled glass ceramics, specifically: placing the glass ceramics in an acid solution, and removing toughened salt on the surface of the glass ceramics; and then the surface of the glass is fully cleaned by clear water.
In one embodiment, the acid solution is dilute hydrochloric acid or dilute sulfuric acid.
The invention also provides the microcrystalline glass prepared by the method for toughening the microcrystalline glass.
The impact strength of the microcrystalline glass prepared by the invention is represented by a falling ball crushing property test, the crushing height can reach 65cm, and the microcrystalline glass has excellent impact resistance; simultaneously, the Vickers hardness of the alloy can reach 750kgf/mm 2

Pouring the molten glass into a mold preheated to 500 ℃ in advance after the melting is finished, and forming a microcrystalline glass precursor with larger volume.

The microcrystalline glasses obtained in examples 1 to 4 and comparative examples 1 to 4 were subjected to appearance test, stress depth test, impact resistance and micro vickers hardness test.
The evaluation method is as follows:
appearance: through a light transmittance test, the glass is transparent when the lowest transmittance of the glass is more than 80 percent in the visible light wavelength range, is semitransparent when the lowest transmittance is between 60 and 80 percent, and is opaque when the lowest transmittance is less than 60 percent.
Stress depth: and (3) carrying out element content test on the surface of the glass by using an XPS test method, and testing the relative content of lithium elements or sodium elements at different depths to judge the depth of ion exchange.
Fixing the glass ceramics, dropping a steel ball with the mass of 60g from the height of 30cm by free-fall motion, pounding the steel ball to the center position of the overhead glass surface, increasing the height of the dropped ball gradually by 5cm in sequence without breaking until the glass is broken, and recording the dropping height of the steel ball when the glass is broken.
And performing a micro Vickers hardness test on the glass before and after tempering, wherein the test loading load is 200 g.
The test results are shown in table 1:
TABLE 1
Figure BDA0002511331500000201
As can be seen from Table 1, the microcrystalline glasses obtained in examples 1 to 4 had normal appearance, and were classified into 3 types, i.e., transparent, opaque and translucent; the stress depth is 21-38 μm; the breaking height is more than or equal to 60cm, which shows that the toughened glass has good impact resistance, and the Vickers hardness after toughening is increased by 12-20% compared with the Vickers hardness before toughening.
In comparison with comparative example 1, it can be seen that if the addition of sodium oxide is omitted in the formula of the glass raw material, no exchangeable alkali metal ions are present in the glass, so that the surface component cannot be modified, and after crystallization, a microcrystalline glass phase with a difference between the surface layer and the inner layer cannot be formed, so that the surface layer cannot form a tempering stress, and the impact resistance result is poor.
In comparison with comparative example 2, it can be seen that if the glass ceramics are tempered by using a common tempering method, potassium ions in the tempered salt exchange with sodium ions in the glass and then the surface expands to form compressive stress, but the ball drop effect is inferior to that of the method of the present invention, and the glass has poor surface hardness because no crystal is formed by the glass which is not crystallized.
As can be seen from comparison example 3, if the crystallized glass precursor is subjected to the crystallization heat treatment and then the ion exchange treatment, the inner layer and the surface layer of the glass form partially ordered crystal structures after the crystallization heat treatment, and thus ion exchange is difficult to perform, even if the glass intermediate obtained after the crystallization heat treatment is immersed in the tempered molten salt, the ion exchange efficiency is low, and the ion exchange temperature is higher than the glass transition point, and the surface compressive stress is not formed. The difference of thermal expansion coefficients between the inner layer microcrystalline glass and the surface layer microcrystalline glass is not obvious, the pressure stress is difficult to form in the cooling process, and the shock resistance is poor.
In comparison with comparative example 4, it is known that if the addition of lithium salt is omitted in the tempered molten salt, the surface layer cannot form a high concentration lithium ion content, and therefore, the surface layer cannot form spodumene or eucryptite glass ceramics having a lower coefficient of thermal expansion, the surface layer and the inner layer cannot form glass ceramics having a difference in coefficient of expansion, the surface layer cannot form compressive stress, and the impact resistance result is poor.
The above data fully show that according to the method for tempering microcrystalline glass of the present invention, the surface layer components of the microcrystalline glass precursor are changed by ion exchange, i.e. the surface of the glass is modified, and then the glass intermediate is subjected to crystallization heat treatment to obtain microcrystalline glass with a surface crystal phase inconsistent with an inner crystal phase. The thermal expansion coefficient of the surface layer microcrystalline glass is greatly different from that of the inner layer microcrystalline glass, and the surface layer microcrystalline glass is subjected to the compressive stress applied by the inner layer microcrystalline glass in the cooling shrinkage process, so that the aim of toughening the microcrystalline glass is fulfilled, the resistance impact strength of the microcrystalline glass is improved, and the problem that the traditional chemical toughening method of the aluminosilicate glass is not suitable for the microcrystalline glass is solved.
