In addition to water and solid components such as ceramic raw materials and sintering aids, water, as well as molding aids represented by dispersants, are used in the slurry. included. In order to produce a slurry suitable for casting, it is generally necessary to precisely control the properties of the slurry by a molding aid. That is, in order to obtain a sintered body having uniform properties, it is necessary for the slurry to exhibit sufficient dispersibility, and in order to shorten the molding process time and to ensure the stability of the shape and dimensions of the formed body, It is advantageous that the solid content is high (the inking rate is high and the molding shrinkage is small), that is, the slurry concentration (solid content) is high. Furthermore, in order to faithfully reproduce the molding properties, it is desirable that the slurry has a high fluidity, that is, exhibits a viscosity as low as possible.

をはかることができる。[0003] Granules are used for pressure molding of ceramics, but spherical granules having a uniform bulk density and a low porosity are preferably used in order to enhance the filling property of the molding frame and the density of the molded body. It is also possible to secure uniformity of properties including the density distribution of the molded body. In producing such granules, it is advantageous to granulate from a slurry having a high solid content using water as a solvent (dispersion medium). Aqueous solvents are easier to handle in operation than organic solvents, are inexpensive, can be easily removed, and require no solvent recovery equipment. In addition, the use of a high-solids-concentration slurry allows for drying during granulation in a short period of time, and a smaller amount of slurry is required for the production of granules of the same weight. Can be reduced.

が得難いものとなる。In the production of silicon carbide ceramics by casting or pressure molding, in addition to silicon carbide powder as a raw material solid component, a sintering aid, a molding aid, and a composite sintered body are further produced. A slurry formed by adding other high-melting-point ceramic material components and the like and mixing water and the like as a dispersion medium,
In the cast molding, put in a casting mold made of gypsum or porous resin, absorb water and remove the mold to produce a molded body,
In the press molding, granules obtained by granulating the slurry by spray drying or the like are filled in a molding frame such as a hard mold and pressed to produce a molded body, and the molded body is sintered. . Here, as described above, it is desirable that the slurry has a high solid component concentration. However, as the solid component concentration is increased, the viscosity tends to increase, and both fluidity and dispersibility tend to decrease. As a result, the slurry is likely to be non-uniform. Here, when a substance having poor wettability with respect to a dispersion medium such as water as a sintering aid, particularly carbon having extremely poor wettability with water is included as a sintering aid, dispersion becomes extremely difficult, and It becomes difficult to obtain a concentration of slurry.

る。On the other hand, among the sintering aids, fine carbon powder such as carbon black has an effect of suppressing an oxide layer which easily occurs on the surface of silicon carbide, and boron or boron carbide improves sinterability, that is, It is known that there is a remarkable effect on high densification and easy sintering. However, the dispersibility of carbon powder in water is extremely poor, and in order to improve this dispersibility, the following molding aids or pretreatments have conventionally been used. That is, (1) a styrene-acrylic acid copolymer is used as a dispersant (JP-A-1-231269), and (2) a solution containing diethylamine and polycarboxylic acid is used as a deflocculant (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Sho 62). -16725

The solution containing diethylamine and polycarboxylic acid is
When the slurry has a high solid content, the dispersibility decreases and the viscosity increases. In (3), although the dispersibility of the slurry can be ensured even at a relatively high solid content, it is difficult to obtain a sufficient dispersing effect unless a large amount of humic acid or a salt thereof is used. There is a drawback in that the sintered body is liable to crack due to the thermal decomposition and detachment of a large amount of the forming aid when manufactured.

で好ましくない。The method for covering the surface of the carbon powder with N-polyoxyalkylene polyalkylene polyamine is not particularly limited, but as a relatively simple method, for example, water 10
0 parts by weight, about 4 parts by weight of carbon powder and about 0.1 parts by weight of N-polyoxyalkylene polyalkylene polyamine are mixed by a ball mill or the like, and the mixture is air-mixed for about 75 to 95
By drying at about ° C, a powder coated with about 0.04 mg / m 2 of N-polyoxyalkylene polyalkylene polyamine can be easily obtained. Although the coated carbon powder produced by such a method may cause some coating unevenness or the like, it has practically the same dispersibility in an aqueous dispersion medium as compared with a uniformly coated one. Further, the coating amount of the N-polyoxyalkylene polyalkylene polyamine on the carbon powder is 0.01 to 0.1 mg /
m 2 is preferred. If the coating amount is too small, the coating tends to peel off, and even if the coating is excessive, further improvement of the dispersing effect cannot be expected, and the amount of decomposition and detachment during heating only increases.
Incidentally, without previously coating the carbon powder with the N-polyoxyalkylene polyalkylene polyamine, even if the N-polyoxyalkylene polyalkylene polyamine was added to water simultaneously with the carbon powder, the silicon carbide powder and other components, the carbon powder was covered in advance. Dispersibility is considerably inferior to the case. In order to obtain the same degree of dispersibility, a considerably large amount of N-polyoxyalkylene polyalkylene polyamine is required. In such a case, the solid component concentration is lowered and cracks are liable to occur during sintering of the molded product.

It is preferable that the carbon powder coated with N-polyoxyalkylene polyalkylene polyamine is 2 to 16 parts by weight and the silicon carbide powder is 200 to 400 parts by weight with respect to 0 parts by weight. Thus, even if the concentration of the silicon carbide powder is increased, the water dispersibility and fluidity of the slurry are good.

強固な焼結体を得ることができる。When casting is performed, the slurry adjusted for the casting is poured into a plaster or porous resin mold having a desired shape, and the casting is performed. After allowing the mold to absorb water and seeing that the shape has been substantially retained, the molded body is released from the casting mold, dried at room temperature to about 50 ° C., and then sintered. As an apparatus for sintering, for example, an electric furnace whose atmosphere can be adjusted is used, and sintering is performed in a non-oxidizing atmosphere, preferably an inert gas atmosphere such as argon or a vacuum, at a sintering temperature of
The temperature is preferably from 00 to 2200 ° C. After the sintering, the silicon carbide-based sintered body can be obtained by naturally cooling to near room temperature in a furnace. In the case of producing a silicon carbide composite sintered body containing a dispersing material, the sintered body once produced in the above operation is subjected to HIP treatment using an inert gas such as argon as a pressure medium, so that the sintered body becomes denser. A sintered body having extremely strong mechanical properties can be obtained.

る。When pressure molding is performed, the slurry prepared for the pressure molding is granulated. The granulation method is not particularly limited, but is preferably performed by spray drying. The granulated material obtained by spray drying or the like is filled in a molding die having a desired shape, and is subjected to pressure molding to produce a molded body. For sintering, a silicon carbide-based sintered body can be obtained by sintering the formed body under substantially the same conditions using the same sintering apparatus as in the case of the casting. In the case of producing a silicon carbide composite sintered body containing a dispersing material, a hot press sintering method such as a hot press (HP) method or a hot isostatic press (HIP) method is more effective. It is possible to obtain a sintered body that is dense and has extremely strong mechanical properties.

-Polyoxyalkylene polyalkylene polyamine,
Sufficient carbon dispersibility can be imparted by using a smaller amount than in the case of using conventional humic acid. Therefore, the decomposition and detachment of such an organic compound during sintering are small, and the cracking of the sintered body which is likely to occur at the time of decomposition and detachment can be greatly reduced. Therefore, in the present invention, it is possible to perform cast molding using a homogeneous raw material slurry having a relatively high concentration and a good component dispersibility in which the content of the organic auxiliary agent is reduced, and a silicon carbide sintered body produced through the molding method. Has no cracks or the like on the shape surface, and a homogeneous and highly dense sintered body can be obtained on the property surface. Similarly, since granules can be produced from a relatively high-concentration slurry, it is possible to shorten the granulation time and obtain high-density granules. Has no cracks and the like even after sintering, and can easily produce a denser silicon carbide sintered body.
