Summary of the invention
The object of the present invention is to provide a kind of highly purified titanium aluminium carbide powder to reach with tin is the synthetic method of the titanium aluminium carbide powder of reaction promoter.
Titanium aluminium carbide powder of the present invention, its composition is as follows:
Ti
3AlC
2Volume content>98vol.%;
Volume content<the 2vol.% of dephasigns such as TiC.
Of the present invention is the titanium aluminium carbide powder synthetic method of reaction promoter with tin, comprises following each step:
(1) batching: in molar ratio with titanium (Ti) powder, aluminium (Al) powder, graphite (C) powder and tin (Sn) powder
Ti: Al: C: Sn=3.0: (0.9~1.1): (1.8~2.0): the ratio batching of (0.05~0.2);
(2) batch mixing: add 70 milliliters dehydrated alcohol, the agate ball or the alumina balls of 200~250 grams in the above-mentioned batching of per 100 grams, ball milling 2~6 hours, 60~70 ℃ of oven dry in baking oven with the mixing raw material grinding of oven dry, are crossed 70~100 mesh sieves;
(3) precompressed: the block that the dried feed behind the above-mentioned batch mixing is pressed into Any shape with the pressure of 10~20MPa;
(4) calcining: the mixing raw material of above-mentioned precompressed is put into the graphite jar and placed High Temperature Furnaces Heating Apparatus; under argon shield; temperature rise rate by 10~40 ℃/min; furnace temperature is risen to 1300 ℃~1550 ℃; insulation 5~10min; speed cooling with 10~15 ℃/min promptly obtains titanium aluminium carbide powder of the present invention.
The Ti that obtains with synthetic method of the present invention
3AlC
2Do not contain or only contain the dephasigns such as TiC of minute quantity in the powder.The Sn that adds as reaction promoter is solid-solubilized in Ti
3AlC
2Intragranular is to Ti
3AlC
2The performance of powder does not have substantial effect;
Make reaction promoter with Sn, can suppress the generation of dephasigns such as TiC effectively, and in the synthetic powder, do not have or have only the reaction promoter residuals of minute quantity, thereby do not need aftertreatment just can obtain highly purified Ti
3AlC
2Powder;
Make reaction promoter with Sn, can prevent the generation of thermal explosion phenomenon in the building-up process effectively, thereby can a heat obtain the high purity Ti of kg level
3AlC
2Powder is fit to plant-scale production;
Make reaction promoter with Sn, can make synthesis temperature be reduced to 1300 ℃, the range extension to 1300 of synthesis temperature~1500 ℃, thereby significantly relaxed technical qualification and temperature controlled requirement to High Temperature Furnaces Heating Apparatus, help industrial-scale production.
