Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a zirconia powder, a method for producing a zirconia sintered body, and a zirconia sintered body.
Background
Zirconia sintered bodies, particularly tetragonal zirconia sintered bodies, have been used for household goods such as tools and sports goods such as golf spikes because of their high strength and good surface gloss after mirror polishing, and further, have been used for decorative parts such as watch cases and ornaments. In order to cope with such an expansion of use, zirconia having various colors is strongly required.
Under the above background, various colored ceramics for decorative parts have been proposed. For example, patent document 1 discloses a black zirconia sintered body composed of (a)98 to 67 mol% of ZrO21.5 to 26 mol% of a stabilizer, and 0.3 to 1.5 mol% of MnO4/3And (d)0.1 to 3.5 mol% of Al2O3And (e) is selected from the group consisting of CoO and Cr2O3、Fe2O3、TiO20.1 to 2.0 mol% of one or more oxides of the group.
Patent document 2 discloses a stabilizer-containing ZrO20.5 to 2.0 mol% of Er2O3And 0.1 to 0.6 mol% of ZnO.
Patent document 3 discloses a stabilizer-containing ZrO20.01 to 0.1 mol% of Pr6O11And 0.1 to 0.6 mol% of ZnO.
The zirconia sintered body is produced by molding zirconia powder and then sintering the molded body. At this time, the zirconia powder is stabilized in advance. By performing the stabilization treatment, the crystal structure of a tetragonal system or a cubic system, which is a high-temperature stable phase of the zirconia crystal, can be maintained at normal temperature. The stabilizing treatment of the zirconia crystal is usually performed by dissolving oxides such as calcium oxide, magnesium oxide, and yttrium oxide in zirconia as a solid solution.
Sintered bodies composed of zirconia formed only of a cubic crystal structure are widely used as so-called fully stabilized zirconia (generally referred to as "stabilized zirconia") sintered bodies. Further, sintered bodies containing zirconia having a tetragonal crystal structure are widely used as partially stabilized zirconia sintered bodies. In the case of obtaining the above zirconia sintered body, the characteristics of the powder affect the operation and sintering characteristics at the time of production. Therefore, the characteristics of the obtained zirconia sintered body greatly depend on the characteristics of the zirconia powder as the raw material.
For example, patent document 4 discloses a zirconia powder containing 2 to 6 mol% of yttria, having a pore volume of 0.14 to 0.28mL/g and a pore diameter of 200nm or less, and molded at a molding pressure of 1t/cm2The relative molding density of the resin composition represented by the following formula (1) during molding is 44-55%.
Relative molding density (%) (molding density/theoretical sintered density) × 100 · (1)
Patent document 4 discloses the following: the zirconia powder has a high molding density at the time of molding, and can give a sintered body having a sintered density of 99.5% or more with respect to a theoretical sintered density.

Disclosure of Invention
Problems to be solved by the invention
As described in patent documents 1 to 3, colored zirconia sintered bodies (hereinafter, also referred to as colored zirconia sintered bodies) and powders have been conventionally known. On the other hand, there has been no example in which the moldability in obtaining a colored zirconia sintered body has been studied in detail. As described in patent documents 1 to 3, in general, in molding for obtaining a colored zirconia sintered body, 2t/cm is required as a molding pressure2On the other hand, there is a problem of high process load.
In order to obtain a colored zirconia sintered body, it is generally necessary to press zirconia powder by press molding or the like to prepare a green compact, i.e., a molded body, and then sinter the molded body, but the properties of zirconia powder are greatly affected in the molding step for preparing the molded body. In order to obtain a colored zirconia sintered body having a high sintered density and sintered body strength, it is necessary to reduce defects and density unevenness in the formed body and to make the formed body have a higher density. In the press molding step, it is important to reduce friction with the wall surface of the mold during molding and to reduce friction between powder particles. When the friction is large, defects such as delamination and cracks occur in the molded body, and if the friction is large, the molding pressure is hard to propagate between particles, and a molded body with a high molding density cannot be obtained. Further, in the case of using injection molding, extrusion molding, cast molding, or the like, deformation of a molded body, cracking of a sintered body due to unevenness of molding density, or the like occurs, and in the case of using sheet molding, the molding density cannot be increased, the sheet strength is lowered, and the workability is often deteriorated.
The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a zirconia powder which is excellent in moldability, has a high sintering density, and can produce a colored zirconia sintered body by a simple method. Also disclosed is a method for producing a zirconia sintered body using such a zirconia powder. Also disclosed is a zirconia sintered body produced using such a zirconia powder.
Means for solving the problems
The present inventors have made extensive studies to achieve the above object, and as a result, have found that the above object can be achieved by controlling the degree of aggregation of primary particles in a state in which an oxide for coloring is dispersed within a specific range, and have completed the present invention.
Namely, the zirconia powder of the present invention comprises:
zirconia containing yttria in a range of 2 mol% to 6 mol%; and
one or more oxides selected from the group consisting of group 4 to group 9, group 12, group 14 and lanthanoid elements,
the pore volume of the pores having a diameter of 200nm or less is 0.14 to 0.28mL/g,
at a molding pressure of 1t/cm2The relative molding density of the resin composition represented by the following formula (1) during molding is 44-55%.
Relative molding density (%) (molding density/theoretical sintered density) × 100 · (1)
According to the above configuration, the pore volume of pores having a pore diameter of 200nm or less is 0.14 to 0.28mL/g, and therefore, the molding density is high during molding. Therefore, the zirconia powder is suitable for various molding methods such as press molding, injection molding, cast molding, sheet molding, and the like. Further, the zirconia powder is easy to mass-produce, and therefore, is excellent in cost competitiveness, and can be suitably used for various applications. Further, since the relative molding density is 44 to 55%, a sintered body having a high sintering density can be obtained. In addition, since the sintered body contains one or more oxides selected from the group consisting of group 4 to group 9, group 12, group 14, and lanthanoid elements, the sintered body can be colored.
Thus, according to the zirconia powder of the present invention, the degree of aggregation of the primary particles in a state in which the coloring oxide is dispersed is controlled within a specific range, whereby a colored zirconia sintered body can be produced by a simple method while having excellent moldability and a high sintering density.
In the above configuration, it is preferable that the groups 4 to 9 are one or more selected from the group consisting of Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, and Co, the group 12 is Zn, the group 14 is Si, and the lanthanoid element is one or more selected from the group consisting of Er, Tb, and Pr.

The zirconia powder contains primary particles containing zirconia as a main component. All or a part of the primary particles are aggregated to form secondary particles. That is, the zirconia powder contains unagglomerated primary particles and agglomerated secondary particles of the primary particles.
However, in the above-mentioned zirconia powder, the amount of primary particles that are not secondary particles but exist in a state of unagglomerated primary particles is extremely small, for example, less than 1 mass% of the entire primary particles (the total amount of unagglomerated primary particles and primary particles that are agglomerated to become secondary particles). That is, the zirconia powder may contain a very small amount of unagglomerated primary particles, but most of the zirconia powder is composed of secondary particles.
The zirconia powder contains zirconia. The content of the zirconia is preferably 90 mass% or more, more preferably 92 mass% or more, further preferably 94 mass% or more, and particularly preferably 94.3 mass% or more, when the zirconia powder is 100 mass%. The upper limit of the content of zirconia is not particularly limited, but the content of zirconia is preferably 97.5% by mass or less, more preferably 97.2% by mass or less, still more preferably 97% by mass or less, and particularly preferably 96.9% by mass or less.
The zirconia powder contains 2 mol% or more and 6 mol% or less of yttria with respect to the total mol amount of the zirconia. Yttria has the function of acting as a stabilizer. Yttria may be present as a solid solution with zirconia or as a mixture. From the viewpoint of element dispersibility at the time of sintering, yttria preferably exists as a solid solution with zirconia. That is, yttria is preferably present in the form of yttria-stabilized zirconia. Since the content ratio of yttria is 2 mol% or more, the excess ratio of monoclinic phase in the sintered body of zirconia powder can be suppressed. That is, by suppressing propagation of cracks due to large volume expansion caused by phase transition from a tetragonal phase to a monoclinic phase, it is possible to suppress a decrease in fracture toughness of the zirconia sintered body.
The content of yttrium oxide is preferably 2 to 5 mol%, particularly preferably 2 to 4 mol%. In the case where the content ratio of yttria is 3 to 6 mol%, which is another preferable range, a cubic phase having low optical anisotropy is formed, and therefore, a zirconia sintered body having excellent light transmittance can be obtained.
The zirconia powder may contain other components instead of a part of the yttria. Examples of the other components include alkaline earth metal oxides such as calcium oxide and magnesium oxide, and rare earth oxides such as cerium oxide.
The zirconia powder may contain alumina (alumina) as needed. The content of the alumina is not particularly limited, but may be 0.005 to 4.0% by mass, and more preferably 0.005 to 2.0% by mass, based on the total mass of the zirconia powder. In the case where the zirconia powder contains alumina, the sinterability of the zirconia powder is improved and the crystal structure is easily uniformized. Further, since the zirconia powder contains alumina, it is easy to suppress a decrease in fracture toughness of the zirconia sintered body. Further, if the content of alumina is adjusted, the light transmittance of the zirconia sintered body can be improved. The upper limit of the content of alumina is preferably 1.0 mass% or less, more preferably 0.5 mass% or less, further preferably 0.4 mass% or less, and particularly preferably 0.3 mass% or less, with respect to the total mass of the zirconia powder.
The form of alumina is not particularly limited, but alumina powder is preferred from the viewpoint of workability in the production of zirconia powder and reduction of impurity residues.
When the alumina powder is added, the average particle size of the primary particles is not particularly limited, and may be 0.02 to 0.4. mu.m, more preferably 0.05 to 0.3. mu.m, and still more preferably 0.07 to 0.2. mu.m. The average particle diameter of the primary particles of alumina was measured by using a laser diffraction particle diameter distribution measuring apparatus "SALD-2300" (manufactured by Shimadzu corporation).
The zirconia powder contains one or more oxides selected from the group consisting of group 4 to group 9, group 12, group 14, and lanthanoid elements. Since the zirconia sintered body obtained by sintering the zirconia powder contains, as a colorant, one or more oxides selected from the group consisting of group 4 to group 9, group 12, group 14, and lanthanoid elements, it is possible to color the zirconia sintered body.
The above-mentioned groups 4 to 9 are preferably at least one selected from the group consisting of Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe and Co. The group 12 is preferably Zn. The group 14 is preferably Si. The lanthanoid is preferably one or more selected from the group consisting of Er, Tb, and Pr.

The zirconia powder has a pore volume of 0.14 to 0.28mL/g, wherein the pore diameter is 200nm or less. The pore diameter referred to herein indicates the size of voids in the secondary particles formed by the aggregation of the primary particles.
When the pore volume of 200nm or less is less than 0.14mL/g, the primary particles are too strongly aggregated, and therefore, the secondary particles become coarse and the sinterability is lowered. When the pore volume of 200nm or less exceeds 0.28mL/g, the aggregation of primary particles is weak, and therefore the molding density of the molded article is low, and a sintered body having a high sintering density cannot be obtained. The pore volume of 200nm or less is preferably 0.15 to 0.27mL/g, more preferably 0.16 to 0.27 mL/g. Further, the pore volume exceeding 200nm indicates the voids between the secondary particles, and therefore, the correlation between such large voids and the degree of aggregation of the primary particles is low. The pore volume was measured according to the method described in the examples.
When the particle size of the primary particles of the zirconia powder of the present embodiment is 200nm or less, voids in the secondary particles formed by aggregation of the primary particles, that is, the pore diameter between the primary particles is likely to be 200nm or less. The degree of aggregation of the primary particles constituting the secondary particles can be controlled by controlling the pore volume of pores having a pore diameter of 200nm or less. When the pore volume is small, voids in the secondary particles are reduced, and the aggregation of the primary particles is enhanced. Therefore, a molded body obtained from a powder having a small pore volume value tends to have a high molding density because the primary particles constituting the secondary particles are densely packed.
As described above, the zirconia powder of the present embodiment has a pore volume within a specific range, and thus can improve the cohesiveness of the primary particles constituting the secondary particles and suppress the coarsening of the primary particles, as compared with the zirconia powder known in the related art. Therefore, by controlling the pore volume of pores having a pore diameter of 200nm or less in the above range, the aggregation of the primary particles themselves is enhanced, and the coarsening of the primary particles is suppressed. Thus, the zirconia powder of the present embodiment has excellent characteristics, and particularly, the zirconia powder has excellent moldability.
The average particle diameter of the zirconia powder is preferably 0.3 μm or more and 0.8 μm or less. When the average particle diameter of the zirconia powder is within the above range, a molded body having a high molding density can be easily obtained, and the sinterability and the reduction in the sintered density can be easily suppressed. Further, if the average particle diameter of the zirconia powder is within the above range, it is not necessary to extend the grinding time in the grinding step. In addition, if the average particle diameter of the zirconia powder is 0.8 μm or less, the monoclinic phase in the powder is not excessive, and therefore a sintered body having a high sintering density is easily obtained. The average particle diameter of the zirconia powder is preferably 0.35 μm or more, and more preferably 0.4 μm or more. The average particle diameter of the zirconia powder is preferably 0.75 μm or less, and more preferably 0.7 μm or less.
The average particle diameter of the zirconia powder was measured by using a laser diffraction particle size distribution measuring apparatus "SALD-2000" (manufactured by Shimadzu corporation). More specifically, the method is based on the method described in examples. The average particle diameter described in the present specification is a value measured on a volume basis.
The specific surface area of the zirconia powder is preferably 5m2More than 20 m/g2The ratio of the carbon atoms to the carbon atoms is less than g. If the specific surface area of the above zirconia powder is 5m2More than 20 m/g2(ii) a specific ratio of (i) to (ii) is not more than g, a molded article having a high molding density can be easily obtained, and sinterability and sintering density can be easily suppressedAnd decreases. The specific surface area of the zirconia powder is preferably 6m2A value of at least one of,/g, more preferably 6.5m2A total of 7m or more, preferably2More than g. The specific surface area of the zirconia powder is preferably 18m2A ratio of 15m or less per gram2A total of 13m or less, preferably2The ratio of the carbon atoms to the carbon atoms is less than g.
In the present specification, the specific surface area of the zirconia powder refers to BET specific surface area, and is a value measured using a specific surface area meter "Macsorb" (manufactured by MOUNTECH corporation).
The zirconia powder was formed at a forming pressure of 1t/cm2The relative molding density during molding is 44-55%. The relative molding density is preferably 45% or more, more preferably 46% or more, still more preferably 47% or more, and particularly preferably 48% or more. The relative molding density is preferably 54% or less, more preferably 53% or less, still more preferably 52% or less, particularly preferably 51% or less, and even more preferably 50% or less.
The relative molding density is a value calculated by the following formula (1).
Relative molding density (%) (molding density/theoretical sintered density) × 100 · (1)
Wherein the theoretical sintered density (is defined as ρ)0) Is a value calculated by the following formula (2-1).
ρ0=100/[(Y/3.987)+(100-Y)/ρz]···(2-1)
Wherein X and Y are the yttria concentration (mol%) and alumina concentration (wt%), respectively. ρ z is a value calculated by the following formula (2-2).
ρz=[124.25(100-X)+225.81X]/[150.5(100+X)A2C]···(2-2)
Wherein A and C are values calculated by the following formulas (2-3) and (2-3), respectively.
A=0.5080+0.06980X/(100+X)···(2-3)
C=0.5195-0.06180X/(100+X)···(2-4)
In formula (1), the theoretical sintered density varies depending on the composition of the powder. For example, if the yttria content is 2 mol%, thenThe theoretical sintered density of the yttria-containing zirconia was 6.112g/cm3When the content of yttrium oxide is 3 mol%, the theoretical sintered density of yttrium oxide-containing zirconia is 6.092g/cm3When the content of yttrium oxide is 5.5 mol%, the theoretical sintered density of yttrium oxide-containing zirconia is 6.045g/cm3. In addition, these theoretical sintered densities take into account the amount of alumina of 0.25%. The molding density can be calculated by measuring the weight and volume of the molded article. In the case where a colorant is added, the theoretical density can be calculated by the same calculation as that for the addition of alumina.
The zirconia powder is preferably molded at a molding pressure of 1t/cm2Molding, and the relative sintering density is more than 99.5% when the material is sintered for 2 hours at 1450 ℃. When the relative sintered density is 99.5% or more of the theoretical sintered density, the sintered density is said to be high.
The relative sintered density is a value calculated by the following formula (3).
Relative sintered density ((%)) x 100 · (3) (sintered density/theoretical sintered density)
The sintered density is a value measured by the archimedes method.
The zirconia powder of the present embodiment is explained above.

[ method for producing zirconia sintered body ]
An example of a method for producing a zirconia sintered body will be described below, but the method is not limited to the following example.
The method for producing a zirconia sintered body according to the present embodiment includes:
step X of molding the zirconia powder to obtain a molded body; and
and a step Y of sintering the molded body after the step X.
< Process X >
In the method for producing a zirconia sintered body according to the present embodiment, first, the zirconia powder is molded to obtain a molded body (step X). The molding pressure is not particularly limited, and may be 0.5t/cm2Above 5t/cm20.8t/cm or less2Above 2t/cm2The following, etc.
When the zirconia powder is molded, a commercially available mold molding machine or Cold Isostatic Pressing (CIP) method may be used. Alternatively, the zirconia powder may be temporarily molded by a die molding machine and then subjected to main molding by CIP isostatic pressing. Conventionally, the production of a molded article of a colored zirconia powder was carried out under high pressure, but in the present embodiment, a low molding pressure (for example, a molding pressure of 0.8 t/cm) can be used even in the above numerical range2Above 1.5t/cm2Below) was prepared into a molded article. In the present embodiment, even when a compact is produced by using the zirconia powder at such a low molding pressure, a sintered body having high strength can be obtained.

[ production of zirconia powder and zirconia sintered body ]
(example 1)
The sodium sulfate powder was dissolved in ion-exchanged water to obtain a 5 mass% solution of sodium sulfate. The resulting sodium sulfate solution was heated and maintained at 85 ℃.
On the other hand, the zirconium oxychloride solution was adjusted so that zirconium was contained in an amount of 1 mass% in terms of zirconia, and the solution was heated and maintained at 85 ℃. The total amount of zirconia was 100 g.
Subsequently, 1000g of the entire sodium sulfate solution kept at a constant temperature of 85 ℃ was added to the zirconium oxychloride solution kept at a constant temperature of 85 ℃ for 10 seconds while stirring, and mixed, thereby obtaining basic zirconium sulfate slurry. To this was added a yttrium chloride solution so that the amount of yttrium oxide was 3.0 mol% with respect to zirconium oxide, followed by neutralization with sodium hydroxide to obtain a hydroxide.
After filtering and washing the hydroxide, the hydroxide was fired in an electric furnace at a firing temperature of 1000 ℃ to obtain an oxide (zirconia), and then 0.25 mass% of alumina powder having an average particle size of 0.1 μm and 0.7 mass% of Fe as a colorant were added to the oxide2O3Powder, 1.2 mass% CoO powder, 1.3 mass% Cr2O3Powder, 0.7 mass% TiO2The powder was pulverized and mixed in a wet ball mill using water as a dispersion medium for 30 hours. The resulting slurry was dried at a constant temperature of 120 ℃ to obtain the zirconia powder of example 1.
8g of the obtained zirconia powder was temporarily molded using a mold having a diameter of 25mm at a rate of 1t/cm2The molding is performed under the molding pressure (hydrostatic pressure). The molding density of the molded article was calculated by measuring the weight and volume. The obtained molded body was sintered at 1450 ℃ for 2 hours to obtain a zirconia sintered body of example 1.
(examples 2 to 19)
The zirconia powders of examples 2 to 19 were obtained in the same manner as in example 1, except that the amounts of yttria, alumina powder, colorant and firing temperature were changed as shown in table 1. In addition, the zirconia sintered bodies of examples 2 to 19 were obtained in the same manner as in example 1.
[ measurement of composition of zirconia powder ]
The compositions (in terms of oxides) of the zirconia powders of the examples were analyzed by ICP-AES ("ULTIMA-2" HORIBA, HORIBA). As shown in table 1.
[ measurement of pore volume ]
The zirconia powder of the examples was subjected to mercury intrusion method using a pore distribution measuring apparatus ("AutoPore IV 9500" manufactured by mike instruments) to obtain a pore distribution. The measurement conditions are as follows.
< measurement conditions >
A measuring device: pore distribution measuring device (AutoPore IV 9500, product of Mike instruments)
Measurement range: 0.0036 to 10.3 μm
Measuring the number of points: 120 points
Mercury contact angle: 140degrees
Mercury surface tension: 480dyne/cm
The pore volume in the range of 200nm or less was determined using the obtained pore distribution. Table 2 shows the results.
[ average particle diameter of zirconia powder ]
The average particle diameter of the zirconia powder of the examples was measured by using a laser diffraction particle diameter distribution measuring apparatus "SALD-2000" (manufactured by Shimadzu corporation). More specifically, 0.15g of the sample and 40ml of a 0.2% aqueous solution of sodium hexametaphosphate were put into a 50ml beaker, dispersed for 5 minutes by a ultrasonic bench-top cleaning machine "W-113" (manufactured by Suppon electronics Co., Ltd.), and then put into a laser diffraction particle size distribution measuring apparatus ("SALD-2000", manufactured by Shimadzu corporation) for measurement. Table 2 shows the results.
[ measurement of specific surface area of zirconia powder ]
The specific surface area of the zirconia powder of the example was measured by the BET method using a specific surface area meter ("Macsorb" manufactured by MOUNTECH). Table 2 shows the results.
[ at a molding pressure of 1t/cm2Relative molding density at the time of molding]
At a molding pressure of 1t/cm2The zirconia powders of the examples were molded, and the relative molding density was calculated by the following formula (1).
Relative molding density (%) (molding density/theoretical sintered density) × 100 · (1)
Wherein the theoretical sintered density (is defined as ρ)0) Is a value calculated by the following formula (2-1).
ρ0=100/[(Y/3.987)+(100-Y)/ρz]···(2-1)
Wherein X and Y are the yttria concentration (mol%) and alumina concentration (wt%), respectively. ρ z is a value calculated by the following formula (2-2).
ρz=[124.25(100-X)+225.81X]/[150.5(100+X)A2C]···(2-2)
Wherein A and C are values calculated by the following formulas (2-3) and (2-3), respectively.
A=0.5080+0.06980X/(100+X)···(2-3)
C=0.5195-0.06180X/(100+X)···(2-4)
In formula (1), the theoretical sintered density varies depending on the composition of the powder. For example, if the yttria content is 2 mol%, the theoretical sintered density of yttria-containing zirconia is 6.112g/cm3When the content of yttrium oxide is 3 mol%, the theoretical sintered density of yttrium oxide-containing zirconia is 6.092g/cm3When the content of yttrium oxide is 5.5 mol%, the theoretical sintered density of yttrium oxide-containing zirconia is 6.045g/cm3. In addition, these theoretical sintered densities take into account the amount of alumina of 0.25%. The molding density was calculated by measuring the weight and volume of the molded article. In the case where a coloring agent was added, the theoretical density was calculated by the same calculation as that for the addition of alumina.
[ at a molding pressure of 1t/cm2Molding, relative sintered density at 1450 deg.C for 2 hr]
The relative sintered density of the zirconia sintered body of the example was determined according to the formula (3).
Relative sintered density (%) (sintered density/theoretical sintered density) × 100 · (3)
The sintered density was measured by the archimedes method.
[ color tone of sintered body ]
After the zirconia sintered bodies of examples were adjusted to a thickness of 3mm, mirror polishing was performed using an automatic polishing machine ("Ecomet 250" manufactured by BUEHLER (trademark). In the finish of mirror polishing, a diamond paste containing diamond abrasive grains having a grain size of 3 μm was used. Thereafter, the color tone of the obtained sintered body was measured using a color difference meter (trade name: CM-3500d, manufactured by Konika Mendata). Table 1 shows the results.
