【発明の詳細な説明】 〔産業上の利用分野〕 本発明は、光学素子成形用型に関する。[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a mold for molding an optical element.
〔従来の技術]
一般ニ、通常1300〜1500℃に加熱して溶融した
ガラスを所望形状に加工した一対の成形用型間に直接挿

衝撃によるクランク等が発生する虞がある。したがって
、成形面は、良好な耐酸化性および耐熱衝撃性が求めら
れる。[Prior Art] Generally, glass products are obtained by directly inserting molten glass heated to 1,300 to 1,500°C between a pair of molds that have been processed into a desired shape and press-molding the glass. There is. According to this method, lenses with aspherical surfaces, etc., which cannot be obtained with polished lenses, can be easily manufactured at low cost, and are very useful. However, since the molding surface of the optical element mold used in this method is repeatedly contacted with high-temperature glass, there is a risk that roughness due to oxidation or cracking due to thermal shock may occur. is required to have good oxidation resistance and thermal shock resistance.
従来、かかる要求を満足させるべく、特公昭61−10
407号公報に開示されるように、型基材上にTtC,
TiN、T1CN からなる中間層を介してAl2O3

As disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 407, TtC,
Al2O3 through an intermediate layer consisting of TiN and T1CN
Layered molds are known. In this mold, the Al z Os layer on the molding surface has good oxidation resistance even at high temperatures, and therefore serves to protect the mold base material from oxidation. Further, an intermediate layer such as T i N is caused by thermal shock. 'M! , O, has the role of preventing layer peeling by improving adhesion.
ここに、TtはOを介してA!と結合している。Here, Tt is A! via O! is combined with
また、鉄鋼などに直接Alto、を付着させると、Fe

着力を向上させることができるのである。Also, if Alto is attached directly to steel etc., Fe
is connected to A2 via 0. Ti-0 bond and Fe-
Compared to the 00 bond, the Ti-0 bond is thermodynamically more stable. Therefore, if the intermediate layer between the mold base material and the Al t03 layer is formed of a Ti compound, the adhesion of the Ax*o layer can be improved.
しかし、上記従来の成形用型では、一般のガラス製品を
製造する場合には問題ないものの、精密な形状を有する
光学素子を製造する場合には不適当であった。However, although the above-mentioned conventional molding molds pose no problem when manufacturing general glass products, they are unsuitable when manufacturing optical elements having precise shapes.

長時間高温のままでガラスを保持する必要がある。した
がって、成形用型の成形面は、一般のガラス製品を製造
する場合よりもはるかに長時間高温(通常600“C以
上)にさらされることになる。That is, in the case of optical elements, unlike general glass products, deviations from the regular shape due to shrinkage of the glass, so-called sink marks, are not allowed at all. In order to prevent the occurrence of sink marks, it is necessary to apply a large amount of pressure to the glass in the mold and to hold the glass at high temperature for a long period of time. Therefore, the molding surface of the molding die is exposed to high temperatures (usually 600"C or higher) for a much longer period of time than when manufacturing general glass products.
ここで、A I2 t Osは非常に安定な物質なので

。Here, A I2 t Os is a very stable substance, so it does not change even if exposed to temperatures of about 600°C or more for a long time. However, when exposed to high temperatures for a long time, Ti
It penetrates the Al z Os layer due to diffusion,
It will precipitate on the surface of the molding surface. Then, oxidation progressed rapidly on the surface, increasing the surface roughness, deteriorating the appearance of the molded product, and causing the glass to seize.
本発明は、かかる従来の問題点に鑑みてなされたもので

。The present invention has been made in view of such conventional problems, and is an optical element that can be used stably for a long time without increasing the surface roughness of the molded surface even when press-molding an optical element with a precise shape. The purpose is to provide molds for molding.
上記目的を達成するために、本発明は、型基材上に中間
層を介してA it z Os層を形成してなる光学素
子成形用型において、前記中間層をZrN。In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a mold for molding an optical element in which an A it z Os layer is formed on a mold base material via an intermediate layer, in which the intermediate layer is made of ZrN.
ZrC,ZrCN のうち少なくとも1種の物質により
形成した。It was formed from at least one substance among ZrC and ZrCN.
上記構成の光学素子成形用型において、A j! !
Osは、既に述べたように、高温でも非常に安定であり
、高温のガラスが長時間接触しても変化しない、また、
中間層に含まれるZrは0を介してAlと結合する。Z

ない。In the optical element molding mold having the above configuration, A j! !
As already mentioned, Os is very stable even at high temperatures, and does not change even when hot glass comes into contact with it for a long time.
Zr contained in the intermediate layer is bonded to Al through 0. Z
Comparing the standard free energies of formation of rO, and T i Ot, ZrO□ is 11040 kJ/mo1. Tiog
is 1890 kJ/mol, and Zr-0 has T i
It can be seen that the bond is stronger than -0. Further, when comparing the ease of diffusion of Zr and Ti, Zr is smaller than Tt, and Zr does not precipitate to the surface even at high temperatures.
つまり、ZrN、ZrC,ZrCN により中間層を形
成したことによって、初期的な付着力も大きく、高温下
で使用しても表面で急激な酸化が起こることがない。That is, by forming the intermediate layer of ZrN, ZrC, and ZrCN, the initial adhesion is strong, and rapid oxidation does not occur on the surface even when used at high temperatures.
以上の作用の他に、中間層のZrN、 ZrCZrCN

It also has the property of being very hard.
成形面は高精度に加工しであるので、傷などは許されな
