Description

Boron carbide spray granulation powder and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of ceramic material processing, in particular to boron carbide spray granulation powder and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
The boron carbide is widely applied to individual protection and armor equipment by virtue of excellent performances such as high hardness, low density, acid and alkali resistance and the like, and meanwhile, the addition of various intermediate toughening phases further improves the processing performance of the boron carbide, so that the boron carbide composite material can be applied to the military industry. However, the flowability of the boron carbide powder is poor, which brings great challenges to subsequent processes; for example, the stress distribution during compression molding can be deviated due to uneven distribution in the material distribution process, and then the defects of longitudinal cracks, poor edge molding and the like which are difficult to reverse are generated. Therefore, the process of spray granulation becomes an essential process in the preparation process of the ceramic material (especially the special-shaped protective ceramic), the mixing degree of the powder main body and the additive phase obtained after spray granulation is better, and the fluidity is better, thereby providing a prerequisite for preparing the high-quality ceramic material subsequently.
In the prior art, the boron carbide spray granulation powder has low solid content, high ash content and low solid sphere rate, and the three indexes are key factors influencing the subsequent sintering process and are directly related to the quality of a ceramic product. Therefore, how to prepare the boron carbide powder with ultrahigh solid content, low ash content and high solid sphericity is a technical problem to be solved urgently by the technical personnel in the field.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the defects in the prior art, the invention provides boron carbide spray granulation powder and a preparation method and application thereof.
As a first object of the present invention, there is provided a method for preparing boron carbide spray granulated powder; the boron carbide spray granulation powder prepared by the preparation method has high solid content, low ash content and high solid sphere rate.
Specifically, the preparation method comprises the step of pre-grinding powder, wherein the powder comprises boron carbide powder and a toughening phase; the toughening phase is selected from Al 2 O 3 、Y 2 O 3 One or more of cerium oxide;
the mass ratio of the boron carbide powder to the toughening phase is 90-95: 3 to 10.
The invention has the advantages that the quality of the boron carbide spray granulation powder is directly influenced, and the invention has an unexpected discovery in the research and development process that the powder consisting of the boron carbide powder and the toughening phase is beneficial to improving the solid content and the solid sphere rate of the boron carbide spray granulation powder and reducing the ash content of the boron carbide spray granulation powder.
Preferably, the powder material comprises the following components in percentage by mass:
92-95% of boron carbide powder
Al 2 O 3 Or Y 2 O 3 1~4%
2-4% of cerium oxide;
the boron carbide powder and the D50 of the toughening phase are both 0.1-1 μm (particularly preferably 0.5 μm D50).
The invention further researches and discovers that when the powder consists of the components in percentage by mass, the boron carbide spray granulation powder with high quality can be prepared more favorably.
Preferably, the preparation method further comprises the step of preparing an initial slurry: adding pure water into the pre-ground powder to obtain initial slurry;
the solid content of the initial slurry is 65-70%, and the viscosity is less than 6500 cps.
The invention discovers that the types and the quantity of hydrophilic and hydrophobic functional groups on the surfaces of different powder bodies are different, so that the types and the quantity of the added toughening phases directly influence the viscosity of the initial slurry; the proportion can ensure the viscosity of the initial slurry to the maximum extent, and is ready for the subsequent slurry mixing step.
Preferably, the preparation method further comprises the step of size mixing: adding a water reducing agent, a binder and a lubricant into the initial slurry in sequence to obtain slurry;
wherein the water reducing agent is polyvinyl carboxylic acid; the binder is polyacrylic acid aqueous solution resin and/or PVA; the lubricant is glycerol and/or TAF;
based on the solid content of the initial slurry, the addition amount of the water reducing agent is 0.01-0.03%, the addition amount of the binder is 0.03-0.08%, and the addition amount of the lubricant is 0.01-0.03%.
In the prior art, sodium salt water reducing agents or water reducing agents for adjusting the number of acid-base functional groups are usually adopted, but the water reducing agents can show a good water reducing effect only under the condition of high using amount, and salt impurities are easily introduced. The invention discovers that the polyethylene carboxylic acid is used as the water reducing agent, and the obvious water reducing effect can be shown under the condition of less using amount, so that the solid content is effectively improved. Meanwhile, the invention also discovers that the improver which is jointly composed of the polyvinyl carboxylic acid and the polyacrylic acid aqueous solution resin and/or the PVA, the glycerol and/or the TAF can not only strengthen the strength of the green body, but also improve the sintering density, reduce the ash content and ensure the cleanness of the product.
Preferably, the PVA is a mixture of an aqueous PVA and a wax PVA;

In the invention, the parameters are adopted for spray granulation, and the obtained boron carbide spray granulation powder has higher solid content, lower ash content and higher solid sphere rate; the boron carbide spray granulation powder greatly improves the density of a boron carbide sintered body and the distribution degree of a bonding two-phase, and obviously improves the strength of a cold-press molded green body compared with the common spray granulation.
In order to prevent the problem of low yield caused by the adhesion of slurry and the inner liner of the spray granulation tower in the spray granulation process, the inner liner of the spray granulation tower is coated with an anti-adhesion layer in advance; specifically, before the spray granulation, an anti-sticking layer is coated on the inner liner of the spray granulation tower in advance;
the coating is as follows: dissociating water system PVA at 90-120 ℃ for 1-2 h to obtain a colloidal solution with the concentration of 25-40%; coating the inner lining of the spray granulation tower with the colloidal solution.
As a better technical scheme of the invention, the preparation method comprises the following steps:
1) pre-grinding powder: mixing boron carbide powder and a toughening phase, and then ball-milling for 12-20 h;
the medium of ball milling is zirconia with the size of 8mm and zirconia with the size of 10mm, and the mass ratio of zirconia to zirconia is 1-3: 1 proportion of mixed grinding balls;

3) preparing slurry: adding a water reducing agent into the initial slurry at a stirring speed of 30-60 r/min; after the water reducing agent is added, stirring for 20-40 min at a speed of 10-50 r/min; keeping the stirring speed unchanged, and sequentially adding a binder and lubricating oil to obtain slurry;

4) coating an anti-sticking layer of a spray granulation tower: dissociating water system PVA at 90-120 ℃ for 1-2 h to obtain a colloidal solution with the concentration of 25-40%; coating the lining of the spray granulation tower with the colloidal solution, and standing for 60-120 min;
5) spray granulation: the inlet temperature of the spray granulation tower is 240-300 ℃, the feeding rate of the peristaltic pump is 30-90 g/min, the outlet temperature is 80-120 ℃, the speed of the atomizer is 3000-5000 r/min, and negative pressure is kept in the tower.

The invention has the beneficial effects that:
(1) according to the invention, the boron carbide spray granulation powder with higher solid content, less ash content and higher solid sphere rate is prepared by adjusting the slurry entering the tower and controlling the technological parameters of spray granulation; the boron carbide anisotropic protective ceramic prepared by the boron carbide spray granulation powder has good compactness.
(2) The polyvinyl carboxylic acid water reducing agent in the slurry can enable the slurry to obtain ideal fluidity by adding a small amount of the polyvinyl carboxylic acid water reducing agent, and the polyacrylic acid aqueous solution resin and/or PVA supplement each other, so that the time and the efficiency of glue discharging are shortened on the basis of reducing the influence on the fluidity of the slurry as far as possible, and a sintered body finally presents a more rational cross section state.
