Definitions

  • the present invention relates to sintered alumina-zirconia balls, to a method of manufacturing these balls, and to the use of these balls as grinding agents, dispersing agents in a humid environment or for the treatment. of surfaces.
  • the mineral industry uses balls for the fine grinding of materials that may be pre-grinded dry by traditional methods, in particular for the fine grinding of calcium carbonate, titanium oxide, gypsum, kaolin and iron ore. .
  • Sand with rounded particles like sand from OTTAWA for example, is a natural and inexpensive product, but unsuitable for modern, pressurized and high-flow crushers. Indeed, the sand is not very resistant, of low density, variable in quality and abrasive for the material.
  • Widely used glass beads exhibit improved strength, lower abrasiveness and availability in a wider range of diameters.
  • the metal balls in particular steel, have a low inertia with respect to the treated products, causing in particular pollution of the mineral fillers and graying of the paints, and too high a density requiring special grinders. In particular, they involve high energy consumption, significant heating and high mechanical stress on the equipment.
  • Ceramic balls have better strength than glass balls, higher density and excellent chemical inertness.
  • the beads conventionally have a size of between 0.005 and 10 mm.
  • molten ceramic balls generally obtained by melting ceramic components, forming spherical drops from the molten material, then solidifying said drops, and
  • sintered ceramic balls generally obtained by cold shaping a ceramic powder, then consolidation by firing at high temperature.
  • molten beads most often include a very abundant intergranular glassy phase which fills a network of crystallized grains.
  • the problems encountered in their respective applications by the sintered balls and by the molten balls, and the technical solutions adopted to solve them, are therefore generally different.
  • a composition developed for manufacturing a molten ball is not a priori suitable for manufacturing a sintered ball, and vice versa.
  • a very specific application is the use of beads as a grinding medium, in particular for finely grinding mineral, inorganic or organic materials.
  • the beads are dispersed in an aqueous medium or a solvent, the temperature of which can exceed 80 ° C, while remaining preferably below 150 ° C, and undergo friction by contact with the material to be ground, for example mutual contact and by contact with the parts of the crusher.
  • the service life of the beads then depends directly on their resistance to wear in this aqueous or solvent medium.
  • the grinding balls In order to increase the yields of the grinding operations, the grinding balls must be increasingly resistant to wear, while having a high resistance to degradation in a hot liquid medium, in particular when they are in contact. with water at more than 80 ° C., these conditions being called hereinafter “hydrothermal conditions”.
  • Alumina-zirconia grinding balls are known, the zirconia being stabilized in the quadratic crystallographic form. These balls exhibit good wear resistance. However, their resistance under hydrothermal conditions is limited.
  • One aim of the invention is to meet, at least partially, this need.
  • the invention relates to a sintered ball, having: the following crystallized phases, in percentages by mass on the basis of the crystallized phases and for a total of 100%:
  • the sintered balls according to the invention are thus particularly well suited to applications of dispersion in a humid environment, micro-grinding, heat exchange and surface treatment.
  • the zircon content is less than 24%, in percentages by mass based on the crystallized phases
  • the cubic + quadratic zirconia content is less than 90%, in percentages by mass on the basis of the crystallized phases; the level of cubic zirconia is greater than 60%, in percentages by mass on the basis of the crystallized phases;
  • the content of monoclinic zirconia is less than 8%, preferably is substantially zero, in percentages by mass based on the crystallized phases;
  • the corundum content is greater than 8% and / or less than 45%, preferably less than 35%, in percentages by mass on the basis of the crystallized phases;
  • the content of crystallized phase other than zircon, cubic zirconia, quadratic zirconia, monoclinic zirconia and corundum is less than 8%, in percentages by mass based on the crystallized phases;
