Description

열전재료 제조장치 및 그 제조방법{A Thermal Contaction Material Manufacturing Device And Manufacturing Method Thereof}Thermoelectric material manufacturing apparatus and manufacturing method thereof {A Thermal Contaction Material Manufacturing Device And Manufacturing Method Thereof}

본 발명은 열전재료 제조장치 및 그 제조방법에 관한 것으로, 보다 상세하게는 열전소자 재료를 초음파 세정 및 진공 건조하여 고진공의 진공조 내에서 용융정제 응고시켜, 도판트와 함께 외부가 불활성 가스로 채위진 고진공 챔버내에서 용융 혼합 시킨 후, 작은 입자의 고 액상 재료를 압출기로 이송할 수 있도록 적용함으로서, Bi-Te계 열전재료의 고밀도화, 미세조직의 입도미세화 및 이방성을 높여 연속적인 결정을 제조하고자 하는 것을 특징으로 하는 열전재료 제조장치 및 그 제조방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a thermoelectric material manufacturing apparatus and a method for manufacturing the same, and more particularly, ultrasonic cleaning and vacuum drying of the thermoelectric material to melt and solidify in a vacuum chamber of high vacuum, the outside of the dopant with an inert gas After melt-mixing in the high-vacuum high vacuum chamber, small particles of high-liquid material can be transferred to the extruder to increase the density of Bi-Te-based thermoelectric materials, increase the grain size and anisotropy of the microstructure, thereby producing continuous crystals. The present invention relates to a thermoelectric material manufacturing apparatus and a manufacturing method thereof.

현재 사용되는 열전재료 제조방법은 분말화된 금속과 도판트의 혼합물을 용융하여 일방향 응고 시키는 단결정 성장법, 인고트를 분말화하여 얻은 분말을 이용하는 냉간 프레스 소결법, 열간프레스법에 의해 일반적으로 제조되고 있다.Current thermoelectric material manufacturing methods are generally manufactured by the single crystal growth method of melting a mixture of powdered metal and dopant to unidirectionally solidify, the cold press sintering method using powder obtained by powdering the ingot, and the hot press method. have.

여기서, 종래의 단결정 성장법은 전기전도율은 크게 향상되지만 열전도율이 증가되어 성능지수가 낮아지며, 제조비용이 고가라는 결점과 대구경의 단결정 성장이 어렵다는 결점을 가지고 있다.Here, the conventional single crystal growth method has the drawback that the electrical conductivity is greatly improved but the thermal conductivity is increased and the performance index is lowered, and the manufacturing cost is high and the large diameter single crystal is difficult to grow.

이러한, 단점을 해결하기 위해 냉간 프레스 소결법을 이용되어져 있었으나, Bi-Te계 화합물의 구조 민감성 때문에 열전능이 현저하게 작아지고, 압력과 온도의 제어가 적절치 않게 p형 Bi-Te계를 분말성형체로 하면 n형으로 전이되는 현상이 발생한다. 또한, 열처리 조건에도 민감하여 소결온도가 약간 달라도 p형 및 n형으로 변화하기 때문에, 열처리 조건의 설정이 어려움이 발생된다. 더욱이, 냉간 프레스 소결법에서는 고온소결에 의한 소결체의 겉보기 밀도와 이론 밀도의 비를 90% 이상으로 하면, 결정립의 성장 및 칼코겐원소(Te,Se)의 증발에 의한 조성의 변화가 발생되어 열전특성의 제어가 어려운 문제점이 초래된다. 따라서, 냉간 프레스 소결법으로 제조한 Bi-Te계 소결체는, 시판되고 있는 단결성 성장법에 의한 용제재료의열전성능지수 보다 높지 않아, 현재까지는 실용화되지 않는다.Cold press sintering method has been used to solve these disadvantages, but due to the structural sensitivity of Bi-Te-based compounds, the thermoelectricity becomes remarkably small, and if the p-type Bi-Te-based powder is formed inadequately under pressure and temperature control, Transition to n-type occurs. In addition, since it is sensitive to heat treatment conditions and changes to p-type and n-type even if the sintering temperature is slightly different, it is difficult to set heat treatment conditions. Furthermore, in the cold press sintering method, when the ratio of the apparent density and the theoretical density of the sintered body by high temperature sintering is 90% or more, the change of the composition due to the growth of grains and the evaporation of the chalcogen element (Te, Se) occurs and the thermoelectric characteristics This results in a difficult control. Therefore, the Bi-Te system sintered body manufactured by the cold press sintering method is not higher than the thermoelectric performance index of the solvent material by the commercially available unity growth method, and it is not put to practical use until now.

한편, 열간프레스법은 압력을 가하면서 소결을 행하기 때문에 소결온도가 낮아도 90% 이상의 소결체를 용이하게 제조할 수 있으며, 냉간 프레스 소결법에 비해 저온에서 소결이 가능하여 결정립 성장을 억제할 수 있으나, Bi-Te계 열전반도체의 서머모듈(Thermo-Module) 제작시 특유의 이방성을 효과적으로 이용하는데 문제점을 갖고 있어, 절단공정의 생산성 저하와 제조 원가 상승으로 인해 실용화 측면에서 큰 결점을 가지고 있다.On the other hand, since the hot press method sinters under pressure, the sintered compact can be easily manufactured even at a low sintering temperature, and sintering is possible at low temperatures compared to the cold press sintering method, thereby suppressing grain growth. It has a problem to effectively use the unique anisotropy when manufacturing Bi-Te-based thermoelectric semiconductors (Thermo-Module), and there is a big disadvantage in terms of practical use due to the decrease in productivity of the cutting process and the increase in manufacturing cost.
