Definitions
- This invention relates to the preparation of high precision alloy, and in particular, high-strength nickel-based amorphous compositions for fabrication of glass-coated microwires.
- the modem methods for strengthening of metals and alloys employ various treatments, e.g., strain hardening, thermal and thermal-mechanical treatment, precipitation hardening, martensite reinforcement, etc. Such treatments allow to obtain, for example, steels and alloys having tensile strength in the range of 1000 - 3000 MPa.
- the forming in the metal matrix such strengthening phases as ⁇ -phase (Ni-Mo), ⁇ -phase and ⁇ -phase (Cr 18 Mo 42 Ni 40 ) has a great potential for obtaining high strength materials.
- Known techniques for casting microwires in glass insulation enable to form an amorphous homogeneous structure and the strengthening phases in the material, and thereby increase the strength characteristic up to 3000 - 4500 MPa.
- the high strength is, inter alia, attained by providing a high degree of the melt oversaturation by applying reinforcing components and "freezing" the alloy in this condition at quenching the material from the liquid phase with the cooling rate of up to 3 x 10 6 K/s.
- a glass tubing containing the desired metal batch is heated to a temperature sufficient to melt the metal and soften the glass.
- the heating is obtained via electromagnetic induction for melting the metal which, in turn, softens the glass.
- the outer glass shell is then drawn out as fine as desired.
- two coaxial flows arise: one of the melted metal in the center and another of softened glass around the metal one. After leaving the heating zone, both flows pass through a water stream, for cooling and solidifying. The result is a continuous microwire with the metal being continuously cast as a core covered with a glass coating.
- U.S. Pat. No. 6,325,868 discloses a nickel-based amorphous alloy having a superior amorphous phase-forming ability.
- This alloy contains nickel, zirconium and titanium as main constituent elements along with additional elements, such as Si or P.
- additional elements such as Si or P.
- at least one kind of element selected from the group consisting of V, Cr, Mn, Cu, Co, W, Sn, Mo, Y, C, B, P, Al can be added to the alloy composition in the range of content of 2 to 15 atomic %.
- this alloy contains a rather large amount of such elements as Ti and Zr, i.e., from 40 to 60%, which are easy oxidizable metals. In this case the alloy drop can turn into oxide during the microwire casting process and prevent microwire manufacture.
- US Patent No 4,668,310 discloses amorphous alloys having high strength and hardness.
- the general composition formula of these alloys is T a X b Z c M d , where
- USSR inventor's certificate No. 428,028 discloses an alloy for casting of the microwire. This alloy was developed by taking into account the specific conditions of physical and chemical interaction between the metal melt and glass during microwire casting process. Alloy has the following content, by weight %:
- the tensile strength of a microwire obtained from this alloy is between 3000 and 4500 MPa.
- One of the disadvantages of utilization of this alloy is that it is not suitable for preparing long continuous microwire lines (more than 100 m) during the microwire casting process. Moreover, the obtained microwire has a large dispersal of diameter along its length (up to +/-20%). These drawbacks are associated, inter alia, with insufficient purification of the alloy mainly from entrapped gas and other non-metallic inclusions. These disadvantages limit and sometime even restrict practical utilization of the microwires obtained from this alloy, especially when the strengthening of structure is achieved as a result of the winding of the reinforced microwire. Likewise, due to the lack of an amorphizer in the alloy composition, an amorphous structure of the alloy cannot be achieved, that prevents from obtaining an amorphous homogeneous alloy.
- USSR inventor's certificate No. 662611 discloses an alloy having the following composition, by weight %:
- the main disadvantage of this alloy is the impossibility of fabrication of the microwire having long continuous length and small dispersal of the wire's diameter along its length. Notwithstanding the alloy composition includes such effective amorphizer as Zr, it is still difficult to provide the amorphous structure, because the amorphization for such alloy can be only achieved when the content of Zr is not less than 1.2%.
- microwire obtained by a microwire casting production process would have very high tensile strength and stable physical and mechanical properties along its length. It is also desirable to produce long continuous microwires having the length of 1000m and more. Such microwires with reproductive properties can be used for reinforcing structural materials.
- the present invention satisfies the aforementioned need by providing a novel Ni-based amorphous alloy, which can contain Cr, Mo, Si, B and Zr along with Y and at least one additional rare-earth element selected from Ce and La.
- the amorphous Ni-based alloy has the following composition, by weight %:
- the Ni-based alloy further comprises 0.1 - 1.8 weight % of at least one element selected from Nd and Pr.
- the Ni-based amorphous alloy is provided for use in casting of microwires with glass insulation.
- the glass material include, but are not limited to, borosilicate glasses, aluminum-borosilicate glasses and Quartz glass.
- the alloy additionally contains 0.6 - 5.0 weight % of Al.
- Ni-Cr-Mo system having the most strength structure corresponding to P-phase.
- a relationship between the components of the Ni-Cr-Mo system, corresponding to the ⁇ -phase can for example, be the following, by weight %:
- This ratio of the elements corresponds to the equilibrium composition for the alloy.
- concentration ratio for the ⁇ -phase enlarges, accordingly.
- the enlarged ratio of the components in the ⁇ -phase corresponds to the oversaturation that can be obtained under quenching at the rate of about 10 6 K/s.
- An example of the enlarged ratio of the components that can be used for casting microwires is:
- the microwires fabricated from this alloy have the tensile strength of about 4600 - 4800 MPa. However, because of the low wetting between the glass and melt, being at the ⁇ -phase state, a production of the microwire with length more than 1 m cannot be attained. When the amount of Cr is less than 10% and Mo is less than 25% or amount of Cr more than 40% and Mo more than 42%, the ⁇ -phase is not formed, thus the tensile strength of this alloy is decreased up to 300 - 700 MPa.
- such elements as Si and B in the amounts of 0.6-6.0 weight % and 0.3 - 3.0 weight %, respectively, are introduced into the Ni-Cr-Mo system. It was found that the best result of the wetting, and therefore a significant increase of length of the continuous microwires is attained when the ratio between Si and B is about Si:B 2. The effect of the wetting enhancement is obtained when the content of Si and B is 0.6% and 0.3%, respectively, or higher. However, when the content of Si and B is higher than 6.0% and 3.0%, respectively, X-ray and mechanics tests show the brittleness of the microwire is increased, due to the destruction of the ⁇ -phase.
- the microwire of length of higher than 100m can be obtained.
- an additional element such as Zr can be also introduced in the content of the alloy.
- Zr is an effective amorphizer.
- the applicants have found that for preparation of an amorphous alloy on the base of a transitional metal, for example a Ni-based alloy, it is beneficial to introduce some amorphizers.
- an effective amorphization index may be established at a required level, i.e. more than 70%.
- the further improvement of the technology for the microwire manufacture providing the increase of the continuous length of the microwire having high tensile strength (more than 4500 MPa) may be attained by means of intensive purification of the Ni-based alloy and elimination of the gas and other nonmetallic inclusions, e.g., oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen or their compounds.
- the purification is especially important, because the obtained microwires have a rather small diameter, ranging from 10 microns up to 150 microns.
- Examples of the element that has the best affinity to oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen include, but are not limited to, Ce (Cerium) for oxygen, at least one of the rare-earth elements selected from La (Lanthanum), Nd (Neodymium), Ce, Pr (Praseodymium) for oxygen and nitrogen, and Y (Yttrium) for hydrogen. It should be noted, these examples of the elements were chosen for reasons of non-toxicity, chemical activity and technological ability.
- the complex introduction of elements is realized, in which the elements are added to the alloy in the following content, by weight %:
- the Ni-based alloy further comprises 0.1 - 1.8 weight % of at least one element selected from Nd and Pr.
- an additional element such as Al is further introduced in the content of the alloy
- the content of the Al is in the range of 0.6 - 5.0 weight %. Such amount provides a rather good wetting of the glass by the metal.
- Table 1A and 1B illustrate several examples of compositions of the alloy according to the above embodiments of present invention and the properties of microwires made from this alloy, correspondingly.
- Composition of the alloy wt % No. Ni Cr Mo Si B Zr Ce (La) Y 1 balance 10.0 25.0 0.6 0.3 1,2 0.1 0.1 2 balance 40.0 32.0 2.8 1.8 2.4 0.9 0.8 3 balance 34.0 42.0 6.0 3.0 5.0 1.8 1.5 4 balance 9.9 24.9 0.5 0.2 1.1 0.09 0.09 5 balance 40.1 42.1 6.1 6.1 5.1 1.9 1.6
- alloys 1, 2 and 3 have optimal compositions of the components, while alloys 4 and 5 have the compositions comprising the components in the range of content smaller or higher than the optimal content.
- the alloy is melted in alundum crucibles by the induction furnace.
- the ingredients are added in the following order:
- the alloy sample prepared thereby is identified as being substantially in amorphous phase when tested by X-ray diffraction analysis techniques.
- a glass-coated microwire with an amorphous metal core is produced by providing a glass tube containing the desired metal and melting the metal in a high frequency induction field. The heat of the metal melt softens the glass tube and a thin capillary is drawn out from the softened glass tube. Thereafter, the metal-filled capillary enters a cooling zone where it is rapidly cooled such that the desired amorphous microwire is obtained.
- the optimal diameters of the obtained microwire is in the range of 10 to 150 ⁇ . When the rate of the casting is decreased, microwires having a diameter higher than 200 ⁇ can also be obtained.
- a system for a mass manufacture of continuous lengths of glass coated microwire is shown in schematic form in order to illustrate the process according to an embodiment of the invention. It is understood that this drawing is given for illustrative purposes only and is not meant to be limiting. It should be noted that the blocks in Fig. 1 are intended as functional entities only, such that the functional relationships between the entities are shown, rather than any physical connections and/or physical relationships.
