Definitions
- the present invention pertains to the field of wrought metal base alloy products with improved chemical and physical characteristics, and more particularly to products of tantalum or niobium metal base alloys containing quantities of silicon and molybdenum
- Tantalum alloy powders have been recognized as preferred materials in the field of furnace equipment: such as trays and heating elements, and radiation shielding where the thermal stability of the alloy is maintained and the life span of the product is enhanced by reduced embrittlement. Tantalum alloy have also been employed in the manufacture of wire and more particularly as electric component leads where product characteristics such as ductility, high dielectric constant and resistance to grain growth at elevated temperatures, and improved processability are required.
- the lead wires may either be pressed with the tantalum powder anode and subsequently sintered at high temperatures, or spot welded to sintered capacitor bodies. See U.S. Patent No. 3,986,869. In both electrical component and furnace equipment products, contamination by oxygen contributes to embrittlement. and piece failure.
- the area where a lead leaves an anode body is highly susceptible to embrittlement. due to migration of oxygen from the sintered body to the wire.
- Substantial economic benefit can be gained from a tantalum or niobium base alloy which does not lose strength or ductility after exposure to high temperatures.
- the tensile strength and ductility of wire are important characteristics.
- the tensile strength and ductility are also desirable characteristics for furnace products. Furnace trays for example, encounter various handling and vibrational stresses with prolonged use. The enhanced strength and ductility results in prolonged product life.
- ductility is a physical characteristic synonymous with reduced embrittlement.
- the term is typically understood to mean a percentage increase in length of the metal at the point prior to failure in a tensile test.
- Oxygen embrittlement occurs in tantalum base alloy products by several mechanisms. Tantalum acts as a getter for oxygen in addition to other gaseous impurities present in sintering operations such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and water vapor. Attempts have been made to reduce tantalum oxide formation by doping tantalum with carbon or a carbonaceous material. Oxygen reacts with the carbon at the surface of the metal rather than diffusing into the tantalum thereby minimizing embrittlement. While enhanced ductility levels may be achieved with carbon addition, the dopant may adversely effect the processability and electrical characteristics of the metal. Carbon particles on the surface of the tantalum may result in increased electrical leakage due to the non-uniform adherence of tantalum oxide film.
- dipant is known to those skilled in the art as a trace material which is normally added to a base material.
- processability is also known in the art and is defined here after as the ratio of tensile strength to yield strength. Processability is measured by mechanical evaluation of tantalum alloy by a variety of methods including standardized ASTM testing referenced hereafter.
- U.S. Patent Nos. 4,128,421 and 4,235,629 disclose the addition of silicon and/or carbon to tantalum to increase ductility. Silicon is volatilized in part during processing and therefore must be added in excess in the original master blend. Added costs are thereby incurred without a measured increase in product quality. While it is speculated that silicon functions as a getter similar to carbon, the addition of excess silicon may effect the electrical characteristics of the wire product by the same mechanism described above for carbon or carbonaceous materials.
- Tantalum base alloys have also been prepared with high concentrations of molybdenum.
- U.S. Patent No. 3,183,085 discloses the production of wrought members from cast members composed of a tantalum alloy containing from 1 to 8% molybdenum (10,000 to 80,000 ppm).
- the doping of tantalum powder with phosphorus is generally disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos. 3,825,802, and 4,009,007 as a means for improving the electrostatic capacity of capacitors and flow properties of the tantalum powders. Some significance is attributed to the amount of dopant added in the '007 patent (ranging from 5 to 400 ppm). Although the mechanism by which phosphorous functions as a dopant to tantalum metal is not completely known, one theory is that it reduces the sintering rate of tantalum by decreasing the surface diffusion of tantalum.
- Another mechanism for reducing the embrittlement of tantalum base alloy products involves the doping of tantalum powder with oxides of yttrium or thorium. Metal oxides act to reduce grain growth by pinning the grain boundaries. Metal oxides typically have lower Gibbs free energy and have elevated boiling temperatures in comparison with tantalum and therefore do not diminish product quality by the mechanism discussed above for silicon dopants.
- U.S. Patent No. 3,268,328 discloses the doping of tantalum with small quantities of rare earth metals and oxides. Average grain sizes of 4 to 6 (ASTM) were optically determined from tantalum doped with yttrium oxide at temperatures between 1,815 and 2,204°C.
- grain size may be defined as the number of grains or particles of tantalum as compared with a standard ASTM grain size chart at 100X magnification.
- fine grain size may be defined to mean an ASTM value of greater than 5 or less than about 55 microns.
- uniform grain size refers to a grain size which does not vary by more than one ASTM number according to the testing procedure discussed above.
- Metal oxides including oxides of rare earth metals, are not stable after being subjected to elevated temperature conditions such as are encountered in furnace environments. Although the mechanism is not completely understood, one theory accounting for dopant particle growth or "dispersant coarsening" is that the coarsening occurs due to the high diffusion rate of oxygen and metal atoms of oxides in refractory metals and is driven by the interfacial energy of the dispersoids. Enlarged dispersant particles have lower surface energy and therefore cannot function to restrain grain boundary migration. Grain growth in turn, results in loss of ductility.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide tantalum alloy which maintains processability and ductility with low concentrations of dopants.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide a doped tantalum alloy which maintains a high level of processability and ductility and wherein the dopants resist coarsening after exposure to high temperatures.
- Yet a further object of the present invention is to provide a wrought wire product from tantalum base alloy which maintains processability and ductility, and which minimizes DC electrical leakage.
- the present invention alleviates the above mentioned problems and achieves the cited objectives in a wrought metal alloy product as defined by claim 1.
- the alloy is formed from the addition of about 25 to about 1000 ppm silicon, about 25 to about 1000 ppm molybdenum, to a tantalum or niobium base metal.
- the doped tantalum alloy exhibits a fine uniform grain size of about 20 to about 55 microns.
- the inventor has discovered that the unexpected physical and chemical properties of the invention are largely due to the synergistic effect of silicon and molybdenum dopants.
- molybdenum disilicide is unexpected due to the small quantities of silicon and molybdenum added.
- silicon competes as a getter with tantalum for available oxygen and trace gasses.
- wrought wire products made from such doped alloys would be of non-uniform ductility due to the low boiling temperature of silicon oxide.
- molybdenum disilicide leads to an alloy which includes the characteristics of improved ductility, a high degree of processability, and which resists grain growth after exposure to elevated temperatures of less than about 1600°C.
- a further advantage is that molybdenum disilicide has a higher boiling temperature than silicon and is more resistant to dispersant particle growth than metal oxides such as yttrium or thorium oxide.
- a further advantage is that excess quantities of dopant formerly needed to replace evaporated silicon are not required.
- Figure 3 illustrates in improved ductility in the present invention as produced by way of Example 1 of from 12.6 to 17.5 in comparison to 3.7 to 5.9 as found by way of the tantalum based wire doped with silicon and yttrium oxide of Example 3.
- Figure 4 illustrates a selected area electron diffraction pattern of tantalum sheet as presented in Example 7.
- the relative positions and intensities of the diffraction spots are a indicative of molybdenum disilicide, as known to those skilled in the art.
- Figure 5 illustrates the morphology of precipitates as determined by a dark-field transmission electron-micrograph of an area associated with the diffraction spot under the pointer in Figure 4.
- the tantalum base wires of Figures 1-3 are made generally from a process where tantalum powder is blended with silicon and molybdenum powders by mechanical means such as a twin cone blender. The blended power is cold isostatically pressed into bars at 4.1 x 10 8 Pa(60,000 PSI). The bars are then placed in a vacuum chamber and sintered by direct resistance sintering at between 2350 to 2400°C for about 4 hours.
- the doped tantalum bar stock may be used to generate a variety of wrought products including furnace trays and leads for electronic components. For simplicity purposes the following description and examples pertain to wrought wire products.
- Wrought wire is made from the sintered bars by rolling to a 20mm by 20mm cross-section followed by annealing. This is accomplished at 1300°C for two hours and is typically done in a standard vacuum furnace. the annealed bar is then rolled to a cross-section of 9mm by 9mm and reannealed at 1300°C for two more hours. Further processing is accomplished by drawing through various dies and annealing at 1300°C.
- the tantalum powder may be made by several methods including the processes disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 4,684,399, assigned to the present assignee, Cabot Corporation. The process disclosed in Columns 4,5 and Examples 2-9 are incorporated by reference herein.
- Tantalum powder was blended with silicon and molybdenum powders (nominal particle size ⁇ 200 mesh) to obtain a nominal composition of 400 parts per million of silicon and 200 parts per million of molybdenum by weight with the balance tantalum powder. Blending was accomplished in about 2 minutes in a twin cone blender. The total weight of the blend was about 22.7kg (50 pounds). Physical chemical properties of starting tantalum powder are given in Table 1 below. The blended powder was cold isostaticaly pressed into two bars at 4.1 x 10 8 Pa (60,000 PSI); each bar weighed about 10.0kg (22 pounds). The cross-section of the bar was about 41mm x 41mm. Bars were sintered by direct resistance sintering in a vacuum furnace. The temperature during sintering was 2350-2400°C. Bars were maintained through this temperature range for about 4 hours.
- Sintered bars were rolled to a 20mm x 20mm cross-section and annealed at a temperature of 1300°C for a period of about 2 hours. The bars were then rolled to 9mm x 9mm and reannealed at 1300°C for an additional 2 hours. As stated above, bars are subsequently drawing through various dies and annealed at a temperature of about 1300°C.
- the final wire diameter generated for purposes of the examples of the present invention is 0.249mm.
- This example describes the manufacturing of a commercially available formulation.
- the micro alloying with thorium oxide was accomplished via the decomposition of thorium nitrate into thorium oxide during sintering.
- Solution of thorium nitrate was mixed with tantalum powder to give about 100 ppm of thorium by weight.
- the total weight of the blend was about 22.7kg (50 pounds).
- the physical and chemical properties of starting tantalum powder are given in Table 1 above.
- the blended powder was cold isostatically pressed into two bars at 4.1 x 10 8 Pa (60,000 PSI); each bar weighed about 10.0kg (22 pounds). The cross-section of the bar was about 41mm x 41mm. Bars were vacuum sintered by direct resistance sintering. The temperature of sintering was approximately 2350 to 2400°C. Bars were maintained at this temperature for about 4 hours.
- Tantalum powder was blended with silicon and yttrium oxide powders (nominal particle size ⁇ 200 mesh) to obtain a nominal composition of 400 parts per million of silicon and 100 parts per million of yttrium oxide by weight in predominantly tantalum powder. Blending was accomplished in about 2 minutes in a twin cone blender. The total weight of the blend was about 22.7kg (50 pounds). The physical and chemical properties of starting tantalum powder are presented in Table 1.
- the blended powder was processed into bars and then wire by the procedure of Example 2.
- Table 3 gives the microstructure, mechanical, and chemical properties of 0.249mm diameter annealed wire produced in Examples 1,2, and 3.
- the microstructure of the wire produced by Example 3 is considerably different from those of Examples 1 and 2. This accounts for the higher tensile strength and lower ductility; both of their factors can adversely affect the processability of the wire.
- Example 1 Composition of Examples 1 and 2 were evaluated, at various intermediate stages for the room temperature tensile strength and ductility. Table 4 illustrates the results of such testing. The similarities in the listed properties indicate that the processability of the composition of Example 1 will be similar to the wire generated by the procedure of Example 2. Table 4 ROOM TEMPERATURE TENSILE PROPERTIES Example 1 Example 2 (Dia.) 2.13mm T.S. kgf/cm 2 (KSI) 4435.9 (63.1) 4443.0 (63.2) Ductility 31 31.4 (Dia.) 0.84mm T.S. in kgf/cm 2 (KSI) 4675.0 (66.5) 4668.0 (66.4) Ductility 20.4 20.8
- Example 1 Composition of Example 1 was rolled into 0.33mm thick sheet.
- the 9mm x 9mm annealed bar was rolled to 2.3mm thick sheet and annealed at 1300°C for 2 hours in vacuum furnace and rolled to 0.76mm thick sheet and annealed at 1300°C for 2 hours in a vacuum furnace. It was further rolled to 0.33mm thick sheet and annealed at 1300°C for 2 hours in a vacuum.
- Discs were cut to about 250 micrometers in thicknesses using a slow speed diamond saw. The discs were then ion milled to a thickness of 50-100 micrometers and then electropolished in a 90% H 2 SO 4 + HF solution until it developed microperforations. Transmission electron microcopy was performed in the vicinity of the perforations.
- Figure 6 gives a bright field electron micrograph of the sample.
- a selected area diffraction pattern is given in Figure 7.
- the diffraction pattern was analyzed for relative intensities (I/Io) and inter-planar spacings (d in A°) for various spots using standard methods in crystallography.
- a comparison of d and I/I for spots in Figure 7 with those reported in Table 5 for MoSi 2 confirms the presence of MoSi 2 .
