Description

High-performance silicon nitride sealing ring and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of sealing materials, in particular to a high-performance silicon nitride sealing ring and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The mechanical seal is a new type of device used in centrifugal pump or other rotary machines, and compared with the soft packing seal used in the past, it has the advantages of good sealing performance, long service life, less power consumption, etc. The sealing ring is the most important element constituting the mechanical seal, which determines the service performance and life of the mechanical seal to a large extent. In order to meet the requirements of low wear and long service life of mechanical seals, sealing ring materials are often required to have high hardness and high fracture toughness.
The silicon nitride ceramic has the advantages of high hardness, high strength, wear resistance and corrosion resistance, and is a novel sealing ring material. However, the reaction sintering silicon nitride is basically used in the mechanical sealing industry at present, and the physical and chemical properties and the mechanical properties of the reaction sintering silicon nitride are very different from those of normal-pressure sintering silicon nitride. Silicon nitride is a strongly covalent bond compound, and it is difficult to achieve sintering densification because it has a low diffusion coefficient, a low volume diffusion and grain boundary diffusion rate that cause densification, and a low sintering driving force, and it is decomposed at a high temperature of 1700 ℃ or higher.
In addition, the sealing ring belongs to structural members, and the forming technology of the sealing ring determines the uniformity of a blank body and the capability of preparing parts with complex shapes to a great extent, so that the final performance of a product is affected. The compression molding is the preferred molding process of ceramic products due to the characteristics of high molding efficiency, accurate size and low cost. However, compression molding tends to have a density gradient and a density unevenness. Because the mechanical seal has strict requirements on the uniformity of the structural components of the sealing ring material, the uniformity of the blank body directly influences the performance of the blank body during molding, and therefore, the silicon nitride ceramic blank body prepared by compression molding in the prior art is difficult to meet the use requirements of the sealing ring.
Therefore, providing a method for preparing a high-performance silicon nitride sealing ring is a technical problem to be solved in the field.
