Description

Glass composite material and production method and application thereof

Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of new materials, in particular to a glass composite material.

Background

1. The existing glass material, ceramic material, natural mineral material, metal material and microcrystalline glass material (glass ceramic material) can not simultaneously have the following properties:

the material has high strength performance at high temperature; adapt to the performance of temperature change of rapid cooling and rapid heating; low thermal expansion performance; fourthly, the low thermal conductivity is 1 to 5 w/(m.K), namely the heat insulation performance; ultra-high strength; high softening point (deformation point); high wear resistance; high hardness property.

The disadvantages of glass materials, ceramic materials, natural mineral materials, metal materials and microcrystalline glass materials are as follows:

glass material: firstly, in the production process of glass, in particular in the forming process after melting, homogenizing and clarifying above 1500 ℃, a small amount of alumina crystals or zirconia crystals or silicon oxide crystals are melted due to high temperature, so that the glass loses the properties of high hardness and high wear resistance of each crystal, and finally, the glass material has low hardness, poor wear resistance and low softening point (lower than 850 ℃); secondly, the glass ceramic product with the content of 20-90 percent of alumina crystal or zirconia crystal or silicon carbide crystal and the performance of high hardness and high wear resistance can not be produced by the forming process after melting, homogenizing and clarifying at the temperature of more than 1500 ℃, and the glass composite material with the content of 20-90 percent of glass ceramic product of alumina crystal or zirconia crystal or silicon carbide crystal and the performance of high hardness and high wear resistance can not be produced.

Ceramic material: the ceramic material has high thermal conductivity which reaches 25-80 w/(m.K) and poor heat insulation performance.

Metal material: the thermal expansion rate of the metal material at 350-450 ℃ is more than 10 (multiplied by 10 < -6 >/DEG C), and when the temperature is higher than 350-450 ℃, the thermal expansion is multiplied, so that the metal material can only bear instantaneous high temperature, and can not bear higher temperature for a long time, and the higher temperature can cause large deformation of the metal material.

Natural mineral materials: the natural mineral material has low wear resistance, more cracks in the agglomerated ore and poor strength, and only when the agglomerated ore is crushed into particles (small particles), the particles have no cracks and have the inherent strength of the natural mineral material.

Microcrystalline glass material: the microcrystalline glass is subjected to crystallization heat treatment under a certain temperature system, a large number of tiny crystals are uniformly precipitated in the glass, a compact multiphase complex of a microcrystalline phase and a glass phase is formed, the crystals in the microcrystalline glass are pure crystals, and the microcrystalline glass material has the following defects: the alumina content in the glass phase of the glass-ceramic is very low, so the strength of the glass-ceramic material is very poor, and crystals with high abrasion resistance and containing alumina, such as the total crystals of mullite and magnesia-alumina spinel, can not grow in the glass phase; fine grains generated by nucleation and crystal growth, such as wollastonite, lithionite, mullite, gehlenite, nepheline and the like, have low hardness and low wear resistance, so that the microcrystalline glass material has low hardness and low wear resistance; the microcrystalline glass production process cannot exist (form) inorganic non-metallic materials which are prepared by forming and sintering natural or synthetic compounds at high temperature and comprise ceramic crystal nuclei such as silicon nitride, aluminum oxide, silicon oxide or zirconium oxide and the like in the glass, so that silicon nitride ceramic crystals or aluminum oxide ceramic crystals or silicon oxide ceramic crystals or zirconium oxide ceramic crystals cannot be generated in the microcrystalline glass production process, and the proportion of the ceramic crystals such as silicon nitride, aluminum oxide, silicon oxide or zirconium oxide and the like cannot be controlled according to application scenes; the microcrystalline glass material does not have the hardness and the wear resistance of silicon nitride or aluminum oxide or zirconium oxide or silicon carbide; the microcrystalline glass material does not have the property that ceramics such as silicon nitride, aluminum oxide, silicon carbide or zirconium oxide and the like can work for a long time under the condition of high working temperature; the existing production process of the microcrystalline glass material has low production efficiency and high energy consumption, can only produce products with flat plate shapes, and can not produce products with extremely complex shapes, such as: a cylinder liner and a cylinder block of an engine.

In summary, there is a need for a material that has high strength at high temperature, ability to adapt to rapid cooling and rapid heating, low thermal expansion, low thermal conductivity of 1-5w/(m · K), ultra-high strength, high softening point (deformation point), high wear resistance, and high hardness, and the production process of the material can produce products with very complex shapes.

2. Ceramic materials have the advantages of high hardness, high wear resistance and long-term operation at high temperatures, and it is also conceivable to replace metal materials with ceramic materials, such as: in europe, japan and the usa, where automobiles with ceramic engine blocks were studied and produced, in 1990, the first non-water-cooled silicon nitride ceramic engine in the shanghai was introduced, and the gas inlet temperature reached 1200 ℃. The fuel consumption efficiency is 213.56 g/km.h, which is far lower than 380 g/km.h of the current 1.5L direct injection engine, and is reduced by 80 percent, namely, the heat energy utilization rate is increased by 32 percent compared with 38 percent of the traditional metal 1.5L direct injection engine, and the heat energy utilization rate of the ceramic engine reaches 70 percent. But the fundamental problems of ceramic engine blocks are: functional ceramic materials cannot be produced at all by casting processes of (molten) cast iron or die casting processes of aluminium alloys. The functional ceramic material cannot be used for producing products with special shapes and complex shapes, including engine cylinder bodies. The forming temperature of the functional ceramic material is about 1700 ℃, in the high-temperature forming process, the ceramic powder of each position of the special-shaped and complex-shaped product can not be equally stressed in the isostatic pressing process of the special-shaped and complex-shaped product, so that the product with uneven density is greatly deformed, for example: the production of dozens of engine cylinder bodies by using the functional ceramic material is not easy to succeed; the industrial large-scale and standardized production of products with special shapes and complex shapes cannot be realized at all.

3. In the technical field of vehicle and ship engines at the leading edge of world science and technology, in particular to the technical field of engine cylinder blocks and cylinder sleeves, the engine cylinder blocks and the cylinder sleeves are both made of metal materials.

The performance defects of the high-strength alloy steel metal material or the cast iron material are as follows: firstly, the thermal expansion rate at the temperature of 350-450 ℃ is more than 10 (multiplied by 10 < -6 >/DEG C), and when the temperature is higher than 350-450 ℃, the thermal expansion can rise by times, so that the engine can only bear the instant high temperature, and cannot bear the high temperature of 800-1100 ℃ for a long time, otherwise, the cylinder sleeve can generate large deformation to damage the engine; secondly, the traditional engine cylinder block and cylinder sleeve must be lower than 350-450 ℃ of the cast iron limit deformation point, a high-speed cooling liquid circulating system must be adopted to keep the working temperature of the engine cylinder block and cylinder sleeve to be lower than 100-250 ℃, and the heat waste is caused because the heat conductivity of the metal material reaches more than 40-120 w/(m.K), so the heat utilization rate can only be 30-40%; high-strength alloy steel metal materials or cast iron materials are poor in hardness and wear resistance, and are also inferior to ceramic materials in corrosion resistance, chemical resistance and cold and hot temperature difference change resistance.

4. The existing piston type aircraft engines of the heat engine need four stages of air inlet, pressurization, combustion and exhaust, the cylinder materials of the piston type aircraft engines of the heat engine all adopt metal materials, the cylinder limit deformation point of the metal materials at the present top is 350 ℃ of aluminum alloy, and 450 ℃ of cast iron; therefore, the working temperature of the cylinder and the engine body must be reduced to between 100 ℃ and 250 ℃ by using cooling liquid or air cooling technology, and the thermal conductivity of the metal material reaches more than 40-120 w/(m.K). Although the heat energy of the exhaust gas is lost, the heat energy is mainly conducted and dissipated through the metal cylinder wall of the engine, so that the heat energy utilization rate of the piston type aircraft engine of a heat engine is only 35%, the waste is too large, the fuel cannot be fully combusted, and the environment is influenced by a large amount of harmful gas.

5. The prior heat engine turbine engine is the same as the heat engine piston type aircraft engine in terms of generating output energy in principle, and all needs four stages of air inlet, pressurization, combustion and exhaust, but the four stages are sequentially carried out in a time-sharing mode in the heat engine piston type aircraft engine, but are continuously carried out in the heat engine piston type aircraft engine, and the gas sequentially flows through each part of the turbine engine and corresponds to four working positions of the piston type engine. There are two heat losses to the engine: firstly, great heat energy is lost in exhaust; secondly, heat energy is conducted and dissipated through the wall of the combustion chamber of the engine and the wall of the turbine, and huge heat energy is also dissipated; resulting in a heat energy utilization rate of only about 50% for the engine. If the heat energy can be prevented or reduced from being conducted and dissipated through the wall of the combustion chamber and the wall of the turbine of the engine, the heat energy utilization rate of the engine can be greatly improved.

6. In the power process system of thermal power, nuclear power and huge ships adopting the steam turbine technology, the heat energy utilization rate is about 30 percent, wherein the largest heat loss is the heat loss of steam, if the heat loss of the steam is small, the heat energy utilization rate is greatly improved, and the heat loss of the steam mainly has two aspects:

the heat conductivity of the metal cylinder shell, the metal steam chamber wall and the metal steam conveying pipeline of the steam turbine reaches 60-120 w/(m.K), and the heat conductivity is the most main interface for generating and radiating steam at 400-500 ℃, which is one of the main factors of heat energy loss of the steam turbine.

The heat conductivity of the steel disc of the steam turbine and the arc-shaped metal blades on the outer edges of all the stages reaches 60-120 w/(m.K), and the steel disc and the arc-shaped metal blades are the most main interfaces for generating heat dissipation by steam at 400-; this is also one of the main factors of the heat energy loss of the turbine.

If the heat loss of the steam can be prevented or reduced, the heat energy utilization rate of the steam turbine can be greatly improved.

7. The traditional wood flat plate material, ceramic flat plate material, glass flat plate material, stone flat plate material and the like, especially the plate with an ultra-large area, have the defects of low production efficiency, high cost, poor strength, poor wear resistance and poor flatness.

8. The traditional heat insulation materials comprise aerogel heat insulation materials, ceramic foaming heat insulation materials and glass foaming heat insulation materials; most of the current aerogel thermal insulation materials are composite materials formed by combining aerogel and reinforcing fibers, and the defects of the materials are as follows: poor strength, very brittle and fragile; the defects of the ceramic foaming thermal insulation material are as follows: poor strength, very brittle and fragile; the defects of the glass foaming thermal insulation material are as follows: very weak, brittle and fragile.

In the embodiment, the smaller the diameter of the filling powder particles is, the better the compactness of the glass composite material is, and the diameter of the alloy steel powder particles is less than 0.01 mm.

In the embodiment, when the glass composite material is subjected to strong external force to generate crack lines, the cracks are stopped and stopped among thousands of alloy steel powder particles continuously; the fracture resistance strength of the structure of the alloy steel powder particles wrapped by the glass powder particles is more than 2.5 times higher than that of a single glass material, and the strength of the glass composite material is increased from 170MPa to 425 MPa; the softening point of the glass composite material is 860 ℃, so that the glass composite material has high strength performance at a high temperature state; the thermal energy is mainly blocked by the glass material formed by the glass powder particles with the thermal conductivity of 1 w/(m.K), so that the thermal conductivity of the glass composite material structure is 1-2 w/(m.K).

In the present embodiment, the smaller the diameter of the filler particles, the better the densification of the glass composite material, and therefore the diameter of the quartz particles is less than 0.01 mm.

In the embodiment, when the glass composite material is subjected to a strong external force to generate crack lines, the cracks are stopped and stopped among thousands of quartz particles; the fracture resistance strength of the structure of the quartz stone powder particles wrapped by the glass powder particles is more than 2.5 times higher than that of a single glass material, and the strength of the glass composite material is increased from 195Mpa to 487 Mpa; the softening point of the glass composite material is 910 ℃, so the glass composite material has high strength performance at a high temperature state; the thermal energy is mainly blocked by the glass material formed by the glass powder particles with the thermal conductivity of 1 w/(m.K), so that the thermal conductivity of the glass composite material structure is 1-2 w/(m.K).

In the embodiment, since the melting temperature of the quartz stone powder particles is 1400 ℃ and the softening point of the glass composite material is 910 ℃, the glass composite material can be used as a high-temperature-resistant heat-insulating material with the thermal conductivity of 1-2 w/(m.K) in various application scenes at 910 ℃ for a long time; and because the hardness of the quartz stone powder is higher than that of various engine metal cylinder liners by more than 2 times, the glass composite material is more wear-resistant and has higher hardness compared with the engine metal cylinder liners.
