Definitions

  • the semifinished product can be used in particular as a substrate for physico-chemical coatings with a high degree of microstructural alignment.
  • Such supports are suitable, for example, as substrates for ceramic coatings as used in the field of high temperature superconductivity. In this case, they are used in superconducting magnets, transformers, motors, tomographs or superconducting current paths.

  • Recrystallization is formed, have a structure with equiaxed grains, that is, based on the band level, they are about the same length and width.
  • grain extension in the longitudinal direction should be advantageous for current transport in superconductivity and result in higher transmittable currents (Hammerl, H. et al., Eur. Phys. Journal B (2002) 299-301).
  • Recrystallized nickel or its cubic texture alloys have grains which are approximately the same lengthwise in the longitudinal direction as in the transverse direction,
  • Nickel after cold working and recrystallization annealing, tends strongly to form a coarse grain structure, which is detrimental to obtaining the high grade cube texture.

  • Grain boundary trench substrate material is poorly suited as a substrate for epitaxial layer depositions, for example for buffer layers and
  • the semi-finished product should have an elongated grain shape with stable cube texture, and the expanded grain should remain intact even after further thermal treatment at high temperatures for the purpose of oxide layer growth.
  • the method according to the invention is characterized in that initially a starting semi-finished product is produced by fusion metallurgy or powder metallurgy involving mechanical alloying, which consists of technically pure Ni or a Ni alloy, wherein an Ag addition in the microalloying range of at least 10 atomic ppm and a maximum of 1000 atomic ppm is contained.

  • the semifinished product is annealed in the temperature range between 500 0 C and 85O 0 C annealed, the higher temperatures are used for the higher Ag contents, and then quenched. Subsequently, this intermediate is highly> 80% cold formed. Finally, a recrystallizing annealing treatment to achieve a complete cube texture is performed.
  • the final recrystallization annealing treatment is carried out depending on the alloy content in the nickel at temperatures of 500 0 C to 1200 0 C, preferably at 85O 0 C.
  • the semifinished product may advantageously be heat treated after or during the recrystallizing annealing for the purpose of growing a cube-textured NiO layer having a texture content of> 90% in an oxidizing atmosphere.
  • Ni alloy is used for the starting semi-finished product, which still contains Mo and / or W as alloying elements in addition to the Ag addition.
  • the formation of a high-grade cube texture is favored.
  • the expanded metal strip allows the growth of a highly cube textured NiO layer, which also has elongated grains.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé de fabrication et d'utilisation d'un demi-produit à base de nickel se présentant sous la forme d'une bande ou d'un fil plat. L'invention vise à mettre en oeuvre un procédé de fabrication d'un demi-produit à base de nickel présentant de meilleures propriétés pour l'utilisation en tant que support de revêtements physico-chimiques à orientation microstructurelle de grande qualité. Ledit demi-produit doit notamment présenter une meilleure forme granulaire à texture cubique stable. A cet effet, un demi-produit de départ est fabriqué par métallurgie de fusion ou métallurgie des poudres par alliage mécanique, ledit demi-produit étant composé de Ni pur ou d'un alliage de Ni contenant un additif de Ag dans le domaine du microalliage d'au moins 10 ppm atomiques et de 1000 ppm atomiques au plus. Ce demi-produit de départ est formé en tant que bande ou fil plat par formage à chaud puis formage à froid avec réduction d'épaisseur > 50 % et mesure intermédiaire. Lors de la mesure intermédiaire, le demi-produit est recuit entre 500 °C et 850 °C de manière à être adouci, les températures supérieures étant employées pour les teneurs élevées en Ag, puis trempé. Le demi-produit est ensuite formé à froid à plus de 80 %. Puis, un traitement de recuit de recristallisation est réalisé de manière à obtenir une texture cubique complète. Le demi-produit selon l'invention sert de support de revêtements physico-chimiques à orientation microstructurelle de grande qualité, et à la fabrication de supraconducteurs haute température en forme de fil ou de bande.
