Description

High-purity compact fine PtRh alloy spherical powder and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to high-purity compact fine PtRh alloy spherical powder and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the technical field of noble metal powder preparation.
Background
The PtRh alloy has the characteristics of corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance, creep resistance, high electric conduction and heat conduction, high catalytic activity and the like, and is widely applied to the industrial fields of glass fiber manufacturing, high-temperature measurement, reaction catalysis and the like. Because Rh has higher melting point, hardness and high-temperature strength than Pt, the improvement of Rh content can obviously improve the physicochemical properties of PtRh alloy, but also brings greater challenges to the processing of PtRh alloy.
The traditional preparation method of PtRh alloy powder mainly comprises a mechanical crushing method, an atomization method, an electric spark discharge method and the like. The mechanical crushing method is to obtain fine PtRh powder by means of cutting, fracturing, ball milling and the like, so that the process is time-consuming and energy-consuming, the obtained powder is irregular in form, and the method is difficult to apply to near-net forming of PtRh parts; the atomization method is to atomize PtRh alloy melt by airflow impact or centrifugal rotation to obtain spherical or spheroidic PtRh alloy powder. The product has the advantages of wide granularity, poor sphericity, common defects of hollowness, adhesion and the like, and the mechanical property of the part obtained by near net molding with the product as a raw material is generally poor. The spark discharge method is to form a high-temperature plasma erosion electrode by continuous discharge between PtRh alloy electrodes to obtain a powder material. Because the electrode is locally overheated at the moment of discharging, a large amount of generated metal vapor is condensed and then adhered to the surface of the powder in a flocculent manner, so that the sphericity of the powder is reduced and the agglomeration of the powder is also caused. Therefore, the PtRh alloy prepared by the prior method cannot meet the near-net forming requirement of the PtRh alloy in terms of fluidity, dispersibility and filling property.
In recent years, a plasma spheroidization technique has been introduced into the field of preparation of PtRh alloy spherical powders. The technology takes PtRh alloy powder with irregular forms as a raw material, melts the powder by utilizing the extremely high temperature of plasma, condenses and balls the molten drops under the action of surface tension, and rapidly cools to obtain PtRh alloy spherical powder with regular forms. As a raw material for the plasma spheroidization technique, irregular morphology PtRh alloy powder is required to be obtained by methods such as alloy melting, ingot casting, division, crushing, and the like. However, in the process of smelting an ingot, the PtRh alloy has the common condition of component segregation, and even if the size of the ingot is reduced and remelting and component homogenization heat treatment are carried out for a plurality of times, the elemental components at different positions in the ingot still have differences. The difference directly causes the uniformity of the components of the irregular PtRh powder obtained after crushing to be reduced, and the PtRh spherical powder obtained by spheroidization is finally influenced by the component genetics; in addition, the work hardening rate of PtRh alloy increases sharply along with the increase of Rh content in the alloy, which makes the breaking of PtRh alloy cast ingots with high Rh content (more than or equal to 30wt%) extremely difficult, and not only the breaking process consumes energy and time, but also impurities are extremely easy to introduce; finally, although the high temperature plasma is favorable for the rapid melting of the PtRh powder serving as a raw material, the extremely high temperature inevitably leads to burning and gasification of alloy elements, particularly irregular powder with granularity smaller than 10 mu m, and the sharp position of the surface of the powder can be gasified instantly when entering a high temperature region of the plasma and taken away by air flow. This phenomenon not only causes the final product composition to deviate from the original alloy design, but also causes a significant loss of precious metals. Therefore, although the plasma spheroidization technology can realize the preparation of PtRh alloy spherical powder, the problems of the PtRh alloy spherical powder still cannot be ignored.

The invention provides a preparation method of high-purity compact fine PtRh alloy spherical powder, which is simple in process, energy-saving and efficient, and is suitable for industrial production.
As shown in fig. 1, the preparation of the high-purity compact fine PtRh alloy spherical powder of the present invention comprises the steps of:
step one: and (3) material mixing: the preparation method comprises the steps of taking sponge Pt and sponge Rh as raw materials, mixing the sponge Pt and the sponge Rh according to a required proportion according to the prepared PtRh alloy components to obtain a premix A, and adding Na into the premix A 2 B 4 O 7 SiO (silicon oxide) 2 And fully and uniformly mixed to form a ductile-brittle raw material system B.
Step two: ball milling, crushing and composite granulating: high-energy ball milling is carried out on a ductile-brittle raw material system B, components in the raw material system B are agglomerated and compounded again after being fully crushed in the ball milling process, specifically, ductile component sponge Pt and sponge Rh in the raw material system B are crushed and flaked in the ball milling process, and brittle component Na is formed 2 B 4 O 7 SiO (silicon oxide) 2 Directly crushing, continuously ball milling, agglomerating and compositing the flaky ductile component and the crushed brittle component to obtain spherical composite powder C containing four substances, and mechanically occluding ductile flaky Pt and Rh simple substances in the composite powder C to form a layered structure as shown in figure 4 so as to obtain the nominal component of the PtRh alloy powder to be prepared and brittle Na 2 B 4 O 7 SiO (silicon oxide) 2 The alloy is distributed at the interface between ductile Pt and Rh metal simple substance layers in a jogged mode, so that ductile Pt and Rh sheet simple substances are prevented from growing abnormally along with the extension of ball milling time;
step three: grading: classifying the ball-shaped composite powder C obtained by ball milling by a mechanical screening or air flow classifying method, reserving the composite powder C within the required granularity range, and returning the rest to the second step to continue high-energy ball milling;
step four: plasma in-situ smelting and sphericizing: and (3) feeding the spherical composite powder C obtained by grading into an inductively coupled plasma torch taking oxygen as working gas, and subjecting the composite powder to four stages of solid-phase heating, graded melting, alloy smelting spheroidization, quenching solidification in extremely short time to obtain the composite spherical powder with core-shell structural characteristics of 'nonmetallic slag phase-PtRh alloy'.
In the solid phase heating stage, due to the composite powderThe body C is in a ball shape and has a lamellar composite structure formed by mechanical occlusion of flaky Pt and Rh, so that compared with compact powder obtained by ingot breaking, the ball-shaped composite powder C has larger heating area and no sharp protruding part, the whole temperature rise is quicker and more uniform, and element burning loss caused by local (for example, sharp corner) severe temperature rise of the powder in the solid phase heating stage is avoided. The pellet is prepared from four raw materials, namely sponge Pt, sponge Rh and Na 2 B 4 O 7 And SiO 2 The shape of the composite powder formed after ball milling is pellet, the shape is determined by the basic principle of ball milling granulation, and the interior of the composite powder is not compact, but is formed by mechanical engagement and embedding of four raw materials.
Stage of classified melting due to Na 2 B 4 O 7 (melting point 878 ℃ C.) the melting point is far lower than that of SiO 2 (melting point 1723 ℃ C.), pt (melting point 1772 ℃ C.) and Rh (melting point 1966 ℃ C.), na in the pellet-shaped composite powder C after the uniform temperature rise 2 B 4 O 7 First melt Na 2 B 4 O 7 Is provided with fluxing SiO 2 The two brittle phases in the composite powder C form a glassy melt at a temperature far lower than the melting points of Pt and Rh, and permeate into a layered gap of the composite powder under the action of capillary force, so that the dissolution and adsorption of impurities introduced in the processing processes of early-stage powder ball milling and granulation and the like are realized, and the reactivity of the subsequent Pt and Rh alloying processes is improved.
In the alloy smelting spheroidization stage, as the powder is continuously heated to reach and exceed the melting points of Pt and Rh, all the components of the powder are completely melted, liquid phases Pt and Rh have infinite solid solution property, spontaneously fuse into spherical alloy melt under the action of surface tension, and complete homogenization of the components of the alloy melt under the combined action of diffusion and electromagnetic stirring; and melt Na 2 B 4 O 7 SiO (silicon oxide) 2 The density of the formed glassy melt is far lower than that of PtRh alloy melt and the glassy melt is not mutually soluble with the alloy melt, so that the glassy melt spontaneously floats on the surface of the alloy melt to form a protective layer, severe evaporation of Pt and Rh elements in the alloy smelting and spheroidizing process is avoided, and the stable and consistent components of the spherical alloy melt in the smelting process are ensured.
Quenching ofIn the solidification stage, the high-temperature molten drop separated from the plasma torch is subjected to quenching solidification under a huge temperature gradient with the environment, and the spherical alloy melt at the core part of the molten drop and the glassy melt wrapped outside are respectively solidified to obtain the composite spherical powder with core-shell structural characteristics of 'nonmetallic slag phase-PtRh alloy', as shown in figure 5, wherein the nonmetallic slag phase comprises Na 2 B 4 O 7 And SiO 2 The glassy melt of the mixture, which may also contain small amounts of metallic and non-metallic impurities contained in the ball milling process and in the feedstock, is oxidized in the oxidizing atmosphere of the plasma torch, and the oxides formed are incorporated into the non-metallic slag phase.
Step five: and (5) washing with alkali and drying. And (3) putting the composite spherical PtRh alloy powder with the core-shell structural characteristics into an excessive alkaline solution to remove the surface non-metal slag phase, repeatedly washing the filtered PtRh alloy spherical powder to be neutral by deionized water, filtering and drying to obtain the high-purity compact fine PtRh alloy spherical powder.

The proportion is favorable for fully crushing ductile powder in the ball milling process. Secondly, the formation of a plasma slag phase is facilitated, and finally, the removal of the slag phase in the alkaline washing process is facilitated. More specifically, the ratio takes into account SiO 2 At high temperature under Na 2 B 4 O 7 Solubility in SiO 2 Too high a ratio may result in insufficient dissolution in Na 2 B 4 O 7 A uniform melt cannot be formed. While Na is 2 B 4 O 7 Too high a ratio may not be effective in forming ductile-brittle grinding systems, siO 2 The effects of fully grinding and controlling the granularity of the powder are achieved in the system.
Preferably, in the second step, no process control agent is added in the ball milling and crushing and composite granulating process.
