Definitions
- the ceramic members are known that they are hardly produced into large parts and complex-shaped parts because they generally shrink by about 20% at the time of sintering. Then, it is attempted to produce large parts and complex-shaped parts by bonding plural ceramic members.
- a method of bonding the ceramic members there are known, for example, a method of bonding them with a brazing material containing active metal and a method of bonding the ceramic members with a brazing material after metallizing their surfaces. But, such bonding methods have a disadvantage that the heat resistance and strength of the parts are limited depending on a metal layer which is present as a bonding layer.
- Japanese Patent Publication No. HEI 5-079630 (KOKOKU) describes a method of bonding a silicon carbide body and a porous body of silicon carbide with an organic binder containing silicon carbide particles.
- the silicon carbide body and the porous body of silicon carbide are overlaid with the organic binder containing the silicon carbide particles therebetween, and they are impregnated with silicon melted from the top surface of the porous body of silicon carbide.
- the melted silicon impregnated through the pores in the porous body of silicon carbide and the carbon in the organic binder are reacted to produce the silicon carbide layer (bonding layer) so as to join the silicon carbide body and the porous body of silicon carbide.
- the conventional bonding method using the reaction sintering of silicon carbide has a disadvantage that applicable component shapes are limited because the melted silicon impregnates through the pores in the porous body of silicon carbide. It also has a disadvantage that the strength of the bonded body cannot be enhanced sufficiently because the process of producing the silicon carbide in the bonding layer cannot be controlled.
- the reaction-sintering layer as the bonding layer has a microheterogeneous structure, and many pores and coarse free silicon phases are produced in the reaction-sintering layer. They are causes to degrade the strength of the bonded body.
- Pamphlet of (PCT) International Publication No. WO-A1 2004/007401 and JP-A 2005-022905 describe a method of bonding plural component units including a silicon-silicon carbide composite sintered body via a reaction-sintering layer (silicon-silicon carbide composite material layer).
- plural silicon-silicon carbide composite sintered bodies or shaped bodies containing silicon carbide and carbon
- the bonding layer which is mainly composed of silicon carbide particles which are produced by reacting the carbon in the organic adhesive with the melted silicon and a free silicon phase present among them.
- the bonding method using the organic adhesive can improve denseness of the bonding layer, controllability of the microstructure and the like because the free silicon phase is present in a network form in the interstices of the silicon carbide particles configuring the bonding layer.
- the generation of the silicon carbide particles configuring the bonding layer based on only the carbon in the organic adhesive has a drawback that it is poor in reproducibility of bonding strength.
- the carbon in the organic adhesive involves volume expansion when it reacts with the melted silicon, and the silicon carbide particles produced originating from the initial resin structure tend to aggregate. Therefore, the interstices of the silicon carbide particles tend to become heterogeneous, and there is a possibility that the free silicon phase segregates.
- the free silicon phase has less strength in comparison with the silicon carbide particles, and if the free silicon phase segregates, the bonding layer tends to have variable strength. Thus, it is a cause of lowering of the reproducibility of the bonding strength of a bonded part applying the bonding method using the organic adhesive.
- a ceramics composite member with mechanical properties such as strength enhanced with a good reproducibility by making a bonding layer homogeneous and minute, and a method of producing the same are provided.
- a ceramics composite member includes: a first ceramic member; a second ceramic member; and a joint portion which couples the first ceramic member and the second ceramic member and has a texture including silicon carbide particles, which have an average particle diameter of 0.1 ⁇ m or more and 0.1 mm or less, and a silicon phase, which is continuously provided in network form in interstices of the silicon carbide particles and has an average diameter of 0.05 ⁇ m or more and 10 ⁇ m or less.
- a method of producing a ceramics composite member includes: adhering a first ceramic member and a second ceramic member with an adhesive containing at least silicon carbide powder and an organic resin; heat-treating a bonding portion based on the adhesive to carbonize the adhesive; and impregnating the bonding portion with melted silicon to couple the first ceramic member and the second ceramic member with a joint portion which is formed by reaction-sintering the bonding portion.
- a method of producing a ceramics composite member includes: adhering shaped bodies each containing silicon carbide powder and carbon powder or the shaped body and a ceramics sintered body with an adhesive containing at least silicon carbide powder and an organic resin; heat-treating a bonding portion based on the adhesive to carbonize the adhesive; and impregnating the shaped bodies and the bonding portion with melted silicon to couple silicon-silicon carbide composite sintered bodies which are formed by reaction-sintering the shaped bodies or the silicon-silicon carbide composite sintered body and the ceramics sintered body with a joint portion which is formed by reaction-sintering the bonding portion.

- FIGS. 7A , 7 B, 7 C and 7 D are sectional views showing a production process of the ceramics composite member according to a second embodiment.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a structure of the ceramics composite member according to an embodiment of the invention
- FIG. 2 is a sectional view showing a magnified part.
- a ceramics composite member 1 shown in the drawings includes a first ceramic member 2 and a second ceramic member 3 .
- the first and second ceramic members 2 and 3 are coupled (bonded) via a joint portion 4 .
- the joint portion 4 has a texture in which a silicon phase (free Si phase) 6 is continuously provided in network form in interstices of silicon carbide particles (SiC particles) 5 .
- the composite member 1 having the two ceramic members 2 and 3 coupled is shown, but the number of ceramic members configuring the ceramics composite member 1 is not limited to two. The number of ceramic members may be three or more.
- the first and second ceramic members 2 and 3 are not particularly limited, and the same or different kinds of ceramics sintered bodies selected from carbide, nitride, oxide, boride, silicide and their composites can be applied.
- Specific examples of the ceramic members include a silicon carbide (SiC) sintered body, a silicon-silicon carbide (Si—SiC) composite sintered body, a silicon nitride (Si 3 N 4 ) sintered body, a sialon (Si—Al—O—N) sintered body, an alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) sintered body, a zirconia (ZrO 2 ) sintered body, and their composite sintered bodies.
- the first and second ceramic members 2 and 3 can be selected appropriately depending on the parts and usage to which the ceramics composite member 1 is applied. Especially, the application of the silicon-silicon carbide composite sintered body and the silicon carbide sintered body having the same material as the joint portion 4 can improve the strength of the ceramics composite member 1 .
- the joint portion 4 has the texture in which the free Si phase 6 is continuously provided in the network form in the interstices of the SiC particles 5 .
- the joint portion 4 can be obtained by heat-treating (heat treatment for carbonization by thermally decomposing an organic resin) an adhesive layer containing at least silicon carbide powder and an organic resin, and impregnating with melted silicon (Si) to perform reaction-sintering.
- the adhesive layer may contain carbon powder.
- the joint portion 4 includes first SiC particles 5 a which are based on the silicon carbide powder compounded with the adhesive layer and second SiC particles 5 b which are produced by reacting the melted Si with carbon derived from the carbon powder and the organic resin compounded with the adhesive layer as shown in FIG. 3 .
- the SiC particles 5 configuring the joint portion 4 are controlled so that they have an average particle diameter of 0.1 ⁇ m or more and 0.1 mm or less as a whole including the first and second SiC particles 5 a , 5 b . If the SiC particles 5 have an average particle diameter exceeding 0.1 mm, the microstructure of the joint portion 4 becomes heterogeneous, and the free Si phase 6 having less strength than the SiC particles 5 tends to be segregated. The strength and toughness of the joint portion 4 are degraded. Therefore, the strength of the ceramics composite member 1 which has the first ceramic member 2 and the second ceramic member 3 joined via the joint portion 4 cannot be expressed satisfactorily.
- the strength of the joint portion 4 also lowers when the SiC particles 5 have an average particle diameter of less than 0.1 ⁇ m.
- the SiC particles 5 having an average particle diameter of less than 0.1 ⁇ m tend to aggregate and are hardly dispersed into the adhesive, so that a stable bonding layer is hardly obtained in view of the production process. Therefore, the strength and yield of the ceramics composite member 1 become low, and its reliability and endurance are also degraded. It is more desirable to control so that the SiC particles 5 have an average particle diameter of 0.5 to 50 ⁇ m.
- the average particle diameter of the SiC particles 5 is a value determined by mirror-finishing an arbitrary cross section of the joint portion 4 , observing its texture through an optical microscope (metallurgical microscope) or an electron microscope, and performing image processing on a magnified picture of the texture.
- the shapes of the first SiC particles 5 a blended as an aggregate and the second SiC particles 5 b produced by reaction-sintering are controlled to have the average particle diameter of the SiC particles 5 in a range of 0.1 ⁇ m or more and 0.1 mm or less.
- FIG. 4 shows a state of the adhesive layer (porous layer) before the impregnation with the melted Si. Silicon carbide powder 7 has substantially no grain growth in the melted Si impregnation step.
- first SiC particles 5 a based on the silicon carbide powder 7 have a particle diameter smaller than that of the second SiC particles 5 b , it is hard to obtain a homogeneous composite texture (composite texture having the free Si phase 6 continuously provided in the network form in the interstices of the SiC particles 5 ). If the first SiC particles 5 a have a particle diameter excessively larger than that of the second SiC particles 5 b , the size of the free Si phase 6 does not become homogeneous, so that the strength of the joint portion 4 lowers.
- Carbon powder 8 and a carbon component 9 derived from the organic resin expand in volume when they react with the melted Si to generate SiC (the second SiC particles 5 b ). Therefore, it is important to control the particle diameter of the carbon powder 8 to be blended into the adhesive layer and to control the size of the carbon component 9 to be formed by heat-treating the organic resin considering the particle diameter of the first SiC particles 5 a . Especially, it is important to control the size of the carbon component 9 . If the second SiC particles 5 b have a particle diameter larger than that of the first SiC particles 5 a , the free Si phase 6 has a heterogeneous distributed state.
- the size of the carbon component 9 derived from the organic resin can be miniaturized by, for example, blending appropriate amounts of the silicon carbide powder 7 and the carbon powder 8 into the adhesive and controlling the heat treatment conditions for carbonization of the organic resin. Blending of the silicon carbide powder 7 into the adhesive layer makes it possible to have the organic resin uniformly and finely in the gap among the powder grains. The distributed state of the organic resin can be further made uniform and fine by blending the carbon powder 8 into the adhesive layer.
- the size of the carbon component 9 can be miniaturized by heat-treating the organic resin when the carbon component 9 is formed. Besides, the carbon component 9 can be suppressed from aggregating. And, the adhesive layer containing the carbon component 9 , the carbon powder 8 and the silicon carbide powder 7 is impregnated with the melted Si, and reaction-sintering is performed, so that it becomes possible to control the average particle diameter of the SiC particles 5 as a whole to fall in a range of 0.1 ⁇ m or more and 0.1 mm or less.
- the free Si phase 6 is continuously provided in the network form in the interstices of the SiC particles 5 . It is important that the free Si phase 6 has a continuous network structure. If the network structure of the free Si phase 6 is separated, the occurrence of a choking phenomenon (phenomenon that the melted Si supply routes are cut to stop the reaction of carbon) is induced to increase a residual carbon amount, and the strength of the joint portion 4 is lowered.
- a compact joint portion 4 can be obtained by continuously disposing the free Si phase 6 in the interstices of the SiC particles 5 .
- the joint portion 4 preferably has a porosity of 5% or less. If the joint portion 4 has a porosity exceeding 5%, the strength of the joint portion 4 becomes variable greatly and the strength of the ceramics composite member 1 also becomes variable greatly.
- the free Si phase 6 is determined to have an average diameter of 0.05 ⁇ m or more and 10 ⁇ m or less.
- the average diameter of the free Si phase 6 is equivalent to an average distance among the SiC particles 5 .
- the average diameter of the free Si phase 6 indicates a value determined as follows. First, the ceramics composite member 1 having the joint portion 4 is heated to 1600° C. under reduced pressure to remove free Si contained in the joint portion 4 . It is assumed that the average diameter of the free Si phase 6 indicates an average value of the diameters determined by a mercury porosimetry assuming that the diameters of fine pores formed by removing the free Si are cylinders. The obtained value agrees with the result obtain by observing the cross-sectional microstructure of the joint portion 4 under a metallurgical microscope or a SEM.
- the fact that the free Si phase 6 has a small average diameter means that the free Si phase 6 having low strength is miniaturized. It also means that the free Si phase 6 is distributed homogeneously in the interstices of the SiC particles 5 . The interstices of the SiC particles 5 is thoroughly filled with the free Si phase 6 .
- the strength of the joint portion 4 and the ceramics composite member 1 can be improved with a good reproducibility by controlling so that the free Si phase 6 has an average diameter of 10 ⁇ m or less. If the free Si phase 6 has an average diameter of less than 0.05 ⁇ m, it is hard to keep a continuous network structure. Thus, holes and free carbon tend to be formed in the joint portion 4 , and the strength of the joint portion 4 becomes variable.
- the average diameter of the free Si phase 6 is controlled by optimizing the particle diameter and the compounding ratio of the silicon carbide powder 7 and the carbon powder 8 in the adhesive layer which becomes a source for forming the joint portion 4 .
- the silicon carbide powder 7 has substantially no grain growth in the melted Si impregnation step.
- the carbon powder 8 and the carbon component 9 present in the interstices of the first SiC particles 5 a based on the silicon carbide powder 7 are reacted with the melted Si to homogenize the distributed state of the free Si phase 6 .
- the free Si phase 6 is suppressed from segregating. Thus, it becomes possible to obtain the free Si phase 6 which is fine and uniform.
- the silicon carbide powder 7 and the carbon powder 8 are blended in excessively large amounts into the adhesive, adhesiveness and bonding strength are degraded. Therefore, it is desirable that the amounts of the silicon carbide powder 7 and the carbon powder 8 added to the organic resin, which is a main constituting material of the adhesive, and also the particle diameters of the silicon carbide powder 7 and the carbon powder 8 are adjusted appropriately. Thus, it becomes possible that the free Si phase 6 is uniformly miniaturized, and the continuous network structure of the free Si phase 6 can be kept stably.
- the SiC particles 5 in the joint portion 4 are produced by only the reaction of the carbon component 9 derived from the organic resin, the carbon component 9 tends to aggregate because of the original resin structure. Therefore, a choking phenomenon occurs, or the free Si phase 6 becomes nonuniform and its average diameter increases.
- the free Si phase 6 has less strength in comparison with the SiC particles 5 , so that the segregation of the free Si phase 6 becomes a cause of the degradation or variation in strength of the joint portion 4 .
- Blending of the silicon carbide powder 7 and the carbon powder 8 into the adhesive suppresses the carbon component 9 derived from the organic resin from aggregating, and the miniaturized free Si phase 6 can be obtained.
- the content of the free Si phase 6 in the joint portion 4 is in a range of 5 to 85 mass %. If the content of the free Si phase 6 exceeds 85 mass %, the strength of the joint portion 4 and the ceramics composite member 1 cannot be improved with a good reproducibility. If the content of the free Si phase 6 is less than 5 wt %, the network structure is separated, and pores and free carbon tend to generate. In such a case, the strength of the joint portion 4 is degraded.
- the content of the free Si phase 6 is preferably in a range of 5 to 75 mass %, and more preferably in a range of 10 to 50 mass %.
- the content of the free Si phase 6 can be calculated on the basis of the theoretical density of Si and SiC from the result of image processing on the texture-observed pictures and the density of the joint portion 4 .
- the thickness of the joint portion 4 is preferably in a range of 5 ⁇ m or more and 5 mm or less as an average thickness. It is hard to produce the joint portion 4 having an average thickness of less than 5 ⁇ m in view of a production process, and a portion, where the joint portion 4 is insufficiently formed, becomes defective, and the strength and reliability of the joint portion 4 degrade, and those of the ceramics composite member 1 also degrade. If the average thickness of the joint portion 4 exceeds 5 mm, the joint portion 4 becomes a cause of degradation of the strength, and the strength and reliability of the ceramics composite member 1 are degraded. It is desirable that the average thickness of the joint portion 4 is made thin in such a range that a uniform state can be obtained.
- the joint portion 4 desirably has an average thickness of 1 mm or less, and more preferably 0.5 mm or less.
- the joint portion 4 preferably has a three-layer structure as shown in FIG. 5 .
- the joint portion 4 shown in FIG. 5 has first and second side layers 10 , 11 , which are in contact with the first and second ceramic members 2 and 3 , and an intermediate layer 12 which is positioned between them.
- the content of the free Si phase 6 in the intermediate layer 12 is different from those of the first and second side layers 10 , 11 .
- the content of the free Si phase 6 in the intermediate layer 12 is larger than in the first and second side layers 10 , 11 .
- the intermediate layer 12 has a free Si composition ratio of 10 to 85% higher than the first and second side layers 10 , 11 .
- the center layer 12 has preferably a thickness of 3 ⁇ m or more and 3 mm or less.
- the first and second side layers 10 , 11 contain the free Si phase 6 in an amount smaller than that in the intermediate layer 12 .
- a bonding strength to the first and second ceramic members 2 , 3 can be further enhanced by the joint portion 4 having the side layers 10 , 11 . Therefore, the reliability and endurance of the ceramics composite member 1 can be improved furthermore.
- the joint portion 4 having the first and second side layers 10 , 11 and the intermediate layer 12 can be obtained by controlling the structure of the porous layer mainly comprising carbon according to the heat treatment conditions and the like for the adhesive layer.
- the adhesion strength of the side layers 10 , 11 can also be enhanced by increasing the surface roughness of the adhered surfaces of the first and second ceramic members 2 , 3 .
- the ceramics composite member 1 of this embodiment controls the microstructure of the joint portion 4 for coupling the first and second ceramic members 2 and 3 . Specifically, it controls the average particle diameter of the SiC particles 5 configuring the joint portion 4 , and the network structure and the average diameter of the free Si phase 6 present in the interstices of the SiC particles 5 .
- the joint portion 4 typically has properties such as a Vickers hardness of Hv900 to 2200 and a four-point bending strength of 250 to 1400 MPa.
- the four-point bending strength of the joint portion 4 indicates a value obtained by measuring the four-point bending strength of the composite member 1 with the joint portion 4 determined at the center.
- the ceramics composite member 1 having the above-described joint portion 4 can enhance the mechanical properties such as a strength and the like with a good reproducibility, so that it can be applied to various types of members and parts which are required to have high strength. Especially, it contributes greatly to provision of high strength to large structures, complex-shaped parts and the like.
- the ceramics composite member 1 can be applied to various types of equipment parts and equipment members such as jigs for semiconductor manufacturing devices, semiconductor-associated parts (heatsink, dummy wafer, etc.), high-temperature structural members for gas turbines, aerospace and aeronautical structural members, mechanical seal members, brake members, sliding parts, mirror parts, pump parts, heat exchanger parts, chemical plant component parts and the like, and especially suitably used for the equipment parts and members which are required to have high strength.
- equipment parts and equipment members such as jigs for semiconductor manufacturing devices, semiconductor-associated parts (heatsink, dummy wafer, etc.), high-temperature structural members for gas turbines, aerospace and aeronautical structural members, mechanical seal members, brake members, sliding parts, mirror parts, pump parts, heat exchanger parts, chemical plant component parts and the like, and especially suitably used for the equipment parts and members which are required to have high strength.
- the method of producing the ceramics composite member 1 of the invention is classified broadly into a first method for bonding plural ceramics sintered bodies and a second method for bonding in a stage that at least one of them is a shaped body including silicon carbide powder and carbon powder.
- the first method will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 6A through FIG. 6D .
- two or more ceramics sintered bodies 21 are prepared.
- the same or different kinds of ceramics sintered bodies selected from carbide, nitride, oxide, boride, silicide and their composites are used. Specific examples of the ceramics sintered bodies 21 are as described above.
- Adhered surfaces 21 a of the ceramics sintered bodies 21 are preferably subjected to a blast treatment or an etching treatment to previously increase the surface roughness. Thus, adhesiveness of the joint portion 4 formed by impregnation with the melted Si and the ceramics sintered bodies 21 and also their bonding strength can be enhanced.
- the two ceramics sintered bodies 21 are adhered with an adhesive 22 containing silicon carbide powder and an organic resin.
- the adhesive 22 may also contain carbon powder.
- the adhesive 22 is present as an adhesive layer between the ceramics sintered bodies 21 .
- the organic resin as an adhesive component of the adhesive 22 is preferably a thermosetting resin such as a phenol resin, a melamine resin, an unsaturated polyester resin, an epoxy resin, a polyurethane resin, a polyimide resin or the like.
- the silicon carbide powder contained in the adhesive 22 desirably has an average particle diameter of 0.1 to 100 ⁇ m. If the silicon carbide powder has an average particle diameter of less than 0.1 ⁇ m, the distributed state of the silicon carbide powder 7 , the carbon powder 8 and the carbon component 9 in the porous layer ( FIG. 4 ) formed by the heat treatment of the adhesive 22 tends to become heterogeneous. Thus, the dispersed state of the second SiC particles 5 b and the free Si phase 6 in the joint portion 4 ( FIG. 3 ) formed with the porous layer impregnated with the melted Si becomes heterogeneous. If the average particle diameter of the silicon carbide powder exceeds 100 ⁇ m, the size of the free Si phase 6 becomes large, and there is a possibility that the strength of the joint portion 4 cannot be enhanced sufficiently.
- the carbon powder preferably has an average particle diameter of 0.08 to 20 ⁇ m. If the carbon powder has an average particle diameter of less than 0.08 ⁇ m, it tends to aggregate, and the distributed states of the second SiC particles 5 b and the free Si phase 6 in the joint portion 4 ( FIG. 3 ) become heterogeneous. If the average particle diameter of the carbon powder exceeds 20 ⁇ m, a choking phenomenon tends to occur, and the strength of the joint portion 4 might be degraded. Besides, the free Si phase 6 has a large average diameter, and the strength of the joint portion 4 is degraded or becomes variable.
- the adhesive 22 contains the silicon carbide powder in a range of 5 to 80 mass % with respect to a total amount of the silicon carbide powder and the carbon component derived from the carbon powder and the organic resin.
- the adhesive layer 22 is carbonized by heat-treating, and the adhesive layer 22 becomes a porous layer 23 accordingly.
- the organic resin is carbonized by thermally decomposing, and the adhesive layer 22 is changed to a porous body.
- the porous layer 23 functions as a preliminary joint portion.
- the heat treatment to change the adhesive layer 22 to the porous body is preferably performed in vacuum or an inert gas atmosphere at a temperature in a range of 400 to 2000° C.
- the porous layer 23 has a porosity of 20 to 80%. If the porosity of the porous layer 23 is less than 20%, the supply routes for the melted Si are cut to cause a choking phenomenon, and a residual carbon amount of the joint portion 4 increases, or the production of the silicon carbide from carbon accompanies a volume expansion to cause cracks easily. If the porosity of the porous layer 23 exceeds 80%, the amount of the free Si phase increases. Such phenomena become the cause of degradation of the strength of the joint portion 4 .
- the preliminary joint portion (porous layer) 23 before the impregnation with the melted Si tends to have cracks or the like, and the production yield and strength of the ceramics composite member 1 are degraded.
- the porous layer 23 as the preliminary joint portion is heated to a temperature of the melting point or more of Si, and the porous layer 23 in the heated state is impregnated with the melted Si.
- the melted Si impregnation step heats the porous layer 23 as the preliminary joint portion to, for example, a temperature of 1400° C. or more and impregnates it with the melted Si in vacuum or in an inert atmosphere.
- the porous layer 23 as the preliminary joint portion is subjected to reaction-sintering to form the joint portion 4 .
- the two ceramics sintered bodies 21 are coupled with the joint portion 4 formed by the reaction-sintering of the porous layer 23 to produce the ceramics composite member 1 .
- the carbon powder and the carbon component derived from the organic resin present in the porous layer 23 react in contact with the melted Si at a high temperature to produce silicon carbide (second SiC particles 5 b ).
- the silicon carbide powder blended into the adhesive 22 has substantially no grain growth and becomes the first SiC particles 5 a .
- the SiC particles produced by the reaction-sintering become the second SiC particles 5 b having an average particle diameter smaller than that of the first SiC particles 5 a based on the silicon carbide powder which are blended as an aggregate into the adhesive 22 .
- the Si which was not involved in the reaction is continuously present as the free Si phase 6 in the network form in the interstices of the first and second SiC particles 5 a , 5 b.
- the two ceramics sintered bodies 21 can be coupled by the joint portion 4 formed with the silicon-silicon carbide composite material which includes the SiC particles 5 having an average particle diameter of 0.1 ⁇ m or more and 0.1 mm or less, and the free Si phase continuously provided in network form in the interstices of the SiC particles 5 and having an average diameter of 0.05 ⁇ m or more and 10 ⁇ m or less.
- the silicon-silicon carbide composite material configuring the joint portion 4 has a texture which is composed of the first SiC particles 5 a , the second SiC particles 5 b and the free Si phase 6 continuously provided in the network form in the interstices of the SiC particles 5 a , 5 b as described above.

Therefore, the two ceramics sintered bodies 21 can be joined with a high strength, and the strength of the ceramics composite member 1 after bonding can be enhanced with a good reproducibility. Besides, the cost required for bonding can be reduced.

If the amount of the carbon powder is smaller than the above range, the produced amount of SiC decreases, the size of the free Si phase increases, and the strength of the silicon-silicon carbide composite sintered body might be degraded. Meanwhile, if the amount of the carbon powder is excessively large, the volume expansion amount increases at the time of reaction-sintering, and cracks tend to be produced locally. In such a case, the strength might be degraded. A known organic binder may be added to the mixture powder if necessary.

Description
- This application is based upon and claims the benefit of priority from the prior Japanese Patent Application No. 2006-324306 filed on Nov. 30, 2006; the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a ceramics composite member and method of producing the same.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Structural ceramics are used as heat-resistant members and abrasion-resistant members because they excel in environment resistance, heat resistance and abrasion resistance and also have outstanding characteristics such as high rigidity, low thermal expansion and low specific gravity. Ceramic members such as alumina (Al2O3), zirconia (ZrO2), silicon nitride (Si3N4) and silicon carbide (SiC) are being worked mainly toward practical use for semiconductor-related components such as jigs for semiconductor production equipment and others in these years. Besides, the ceramic members are being applied to industrial equipment such as nuclear, gas turbine and other energy equipment parts, structural parts for space, automobile engine parts, heat exchanger parts, pump parts, mechanical seal parts, bearing parts, sliding parts and the like.
- The ceramic members are known that they are hardly produced into large parts and complex-shaped parts because they generally shrink by about 20% at the time of sintering. Then, it is attempted to produce large parts and complex-shaped parts by bonding plural ceramic members. As a method of bonding the ceramic members, there are known, for example, a method of bonding them with a brazing material containing active metal and a method of bonding the ceramic members with a brazing material after metallizing their surfaces. But, such bonding methods have a disadvantage that the heat resistance and strength of the parts are limited depending on a metal layer which is present as a bonding layer.
- In contrast to the bonding method using the brazing material, there is known a method of bonding plural ceramic members by utilizing reaction sintering of silicon carbide. Japanese Patent Publication No. HEI 5-079630 (KOKOKU) describes a method of bonding a silicon carbide body and a porous body of silicon carbide with an organic binder containing silicon carbide particles. The silicon carbide body and the porous body of silicon carbide are overlaid with the organic binder containing the silicon carbide particles therebetween, and they are impregnated with silicon melted from the top surface of the porous body of silicon carbide. The melted silicon impregnated through the pores in the porous body of silicon carbide and the carbon in the organic binder are reacted to produce the silicon carbide layer (bonding layer) so as to join the silicon carbide body and the porous body of silicon carbide.
- But, the conventional bonding method using the reaction sintering of silicon carbide has a disadvantage that applicable component shapes are limited because the melted silicon impregnates through the pores in the porous body of silicon carbide. It also has a disadvantage that the strength of the bonded body cannot be enhanced sufficiently because the process of producing the silicon carbide in the bonding layer cannot be controlled. For example, the reaction-sintering layer as the bonding layer has a microheterogeneous structure, and many pores and coarse free silicon phases are produced in the reaction-sintering layer. They are causes to degrade the strength of the bonded body.
- Pamphlet of (PCT) International Publication No. WO-A1 2004/007401 and JP-A 2005-022905 (KOKAI) describe a method of bonding plural component units including a silicon-silicon carbide composite sintered body via a reaction-sintering layer (silicon-silicon carbide composite material layer). Here, plural silicon-silicon carbide composite sintered bodies (or shaped bodies containing silicon carbide and carbon) are adhered with an organic adhesive, and the bonded portion effected with the organic adhesive is impregnated with melted silicon. And, plural component units are bonded with the bonding layer which is mainly composed of silicon carbide particles which are produced by reacting the carbon in the organic adhesive with the melted silicon and a free silicon phase present among them.
- The bonding method using the organic adhesive can improve denseness of the bonding layer, controllability of the microstructure and the like because the free silicon phase is present in a network form in the interstices of the silicon carbide particles configuring the bonding layer. Thus, it becomes possible to enhance bonding strength in comparison with the method of impregnating with the melted silicon through the pores in the porous body of silicon carbide. But, the generation of the silicon carbide particles configuring the bonding layer based on only the carbon in the organic adhesive has a drawback that it is poor in reproducibility of bonding strength.
- In other words, the carbon in the organic adhesive involves volume expansion when it reacts with the melted silicon, and the silicon carbide particles produced originating from the initial resin structure tend to aggregate. Therefore, the interstices of the silicon carbide particles tend to become heterogeneous, and there is a possibility that the free silicon phase segregates. The free silicon phase has less strength in comparison with the silicon carbide particles, and if the free silicon phase segregates, the bonding layer tends to have variable strength. Thus, it is a cause of lowering of the reproducibility of the bonding strength of a bonded part applying the bonding method using the organic adhesive.
- According to an aspect of the present invention, there are provided a ceramics composite member with mechanical properties such as strength enhanced with a good reproducibility by making a bonding layer homogeneous and minute, and a method of producing the same.
- A ceramics composite member according to an aspect of the invention includes: a first ceramic member; a second ceramic member; and a joint portion which couples the first ceramic member and the second ceramic member and has a texture including silicon carbide particles, which have an average particle diameter of 0.1 μm or more and 0.1 mm or less, and a silicon phase, which is continuously provided in network form in interstices of the silicon carbide particles and has an average diameter of 0.05 μm or more and 10 μm or less.
- A method of producing a ceramics composite member according to an aspect of the invention includes: adhering a first ceramic member and a second ceramic member with an adhesive containing at least silicon carbide powder and an organic resin; heat-treating a bonding portion based on the adhesive to carbonize the adhesive; and impregnating the bonding portion with melted silicon to couple the first ceramic member and the second ceramic member with a joint portion which is formed by reaction-sintering the bonding portion.
- A method of producing a ceramics composite member according to another aspect of the invention includes: adhering shaped bodies each containing silicon carbide powder and carbon powder or the shaped body and a ceramics sintered body with an adhesive containing at least silicon carbide powder and an organic resin; heat-treating a bonding portion based on the adhesive to carbonize the adhesive; and impregnating the shaped bodies and the bonding portion with melted silicon to couple silicon-silicon carbide composite sintered bodies which are formed by reaction-sintering the shaped bodies or the silicon-silicon carbide composite sintered body and the ceramics sintered body with a joint portion which is formed by reaction-sintering the bonding portion.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a structure of the ceramics composite member according to an embodiment of the invention, andFIG. 2 is a sectional view showing a magnified part. Aceramics composite member 1 shown in the drawings includes a firstceramic member 2 and a secondceramic member 3. The first and secondceramic members joint portion 4. - As indicated by the magnified view of
FIG. 4 , thejoint portion 4 has a texture in which a silicon phase (free Si phase) 6 is continuously provided in network form in interstices of silicon carbide particles (SiC particles) 5. Here, thecomposite member 1 having the twoceramic members ceramics composite member 1 is not limited to two. The number of ceramic members may be three or more. - The first and second
ceramic members - The first and second
ceramic members composite member 1 is applied. Especially, the application of the silicon-silicon carbide composite sintered body and the silicon carbide sintered body having the same material as thejoint portion 4 can improve the strength of theceramics composite member 1. - The
joint portion 4 has the texture in which thefree Si phase 6 is continuously provided in the network form in the interstices of theSiC particles 5. Thejoint portion 4 can be obtained by heat-treating (heat treatment for carbonization by thermally decomposing an organic resin) an adhesive layer containing at least silicon carbide powder and an organic resin, and impregnating with melted silicon (Si) to perform reaction-sintering. The adhesive layer may contain carbon powder. Thejoint portion 4 includesfirst SiC particles 5 a which are based on the silicon carbide powder compounded with the adhesive layer andsecond SiC particles 5 b which are produced by reacting the melted Si with carbon derived from the carbon powder and the organic resin compounded with the adhesive layer as shown inFIG. 3 . - The
SiC particles 5 configuring thejoint portion 4 are controlled so that they have an average particle diameter of 0.1 μm or more and 0.1 mm or less as a whole including the first andsecond SiC particles SiC particles 5 have an average particle diameter exceeding 0.1 mm, the microstructure of thejoint portion 4 becomes heterogeneous, and thefree Si phase 6 having less strength than theSiC particles 5 tends to be segregated. The strength and toughness of thejoint portion 4 are degraded. Therefore, the strength of the ceramicscomposite member 1 which has the firstceramic member 2 and the secondceramic member 3 joined via thejoint portion 4 cannot be expressed satisfactorily. - The strength of the
joint portion 4 also lowers when theSiC particles 5 have an average particle diameter of less than 0.1 μm. TheSiC particles 5 having an average particle diameter of less than 0.1 μm tend to aggregate and are hardly dispersed into the adhesive, so that a stable bonding layer is hardly obtained in view of the production process. Therefore, the strength and yield of the ceramicscomposite member 1 become low, and its reliability and endurance are also degraded. It is more desirable to control so that theSiC particles 5 have an average particle diameter of 0.5 to 50 μm. The average particle diameter of theSiC particles 5 is a value determined by mirror-finishing an arbitrary cross section of thejoint portion 4, observing its texture through an optical microscope (metallurgical microscope) or an electron microscope, and performing image processing on a magnified picture of the texture. - The shapes of the
first SiC particles 5 a blended as an aggregate and thesecond SiC particles 5 b produced by reaction-sintering are controlled to have the average particle diameter of theSiC particles 5 in a range of 0.1 μm or more and 0.1 mm or less.FIG. 4 shows a state of the adhesive layer (porous layer) before the impregnation with the melted Si.Silicon carbide powder 7 has substantially no grain growth in the melted Si impregnation step. If thefirst SiC particles 5 a based on thesilicon carbide powder 7 have a particle diameter smaller than that of thesecond SiC particles 5 b, it is hard to obtain a homogeneous composite texture (composite texture having thefree Si phase 6 continuously provided in the network form in the interstices of the SiC particles 5). If thefirst SiC particles 5 a have a particle diameter excessively larger than that of thesecond SiC particles 5 b, the size of thefree Si phase 6 does not become homogeneous, so that the strength of thejoint portion 4 lowers. -
Carbon powder 8 and acarbon component 9 derived from the organic resin expand in volume when they react with the melted Si to generate SiC (thesecond SiC particles 5 b). Therefore, it is important to control the particle diameter of thecarbon powder 8 to be blended into the adhesive layer and to control the size of thecarbon component 9 to be formed by heat-treating the organic resin considering the particle diameter of thefirst SiC particles 5 a. Especially, it is important to control the size of thecarbon component 9. If thesecond SiC particles 5 b have a particle diameter larger than that of thefirst SiC particles 5 a, thefree Si phase 6 has a heterogeneous distributed state. - The size of the
carbon component 9 derived from the organic resin can be miniaturized by, for example, blending appropriate amounts of thesilicon carbide powder 7 and thecarbon powder 8 into the adhesive and controlling the heat treatment conditions for carbonization of the organic resin. Blending of thesilicon carbide powder 7 into the adhesive layer makes it possible to have the organic resin uniformly and finely in the gap among the powder grains. The distributed state of the organic resin can be further made uniform and fine by blending thecarbon powder 8 into the adhesive layer. - The size of the
carbon component 9 can be miniaturized by heat-treating the organic resin when thecarbon component 9 is formed. Besides, thecarbon component 9 can be suppressed from aggregating. And, the adhesive layer containing thecarbon component 9, thecarbon powder 8 and thesilicon carbide powder 7 is impregnated with the melted Si, and reaction-sintering is performed, so that it becomes possible to control the average particle diameter of theSiC particles 5 as a whole to fall in a range of 0.1 μm or more and 0.1 mm or less. - The
free Si phase 6 is continuously provided in the network form in the interstices of theSiC particles 5. It is important that thefree Si phase 6 has a continuous network structure. If the network structure of thefree Si phase 6 is separated, the occurrence of a choking phenomenon (phenomenon that the melted Si supply routes are cut to stop the reaction of carbon) is induced to increase a residual carbon amount, and the strength of thejoint portion 4 is lowered. A compactjoint portion 4 can be obtained by continuously disposing thefree Si phase 6 in the interstices of theSiC particles 5. Besides, thejoint portion 4 preferably has a porosity of 5% or less. If thejoint portion 4 has a porosity exceeding 5%, the strength of thejoint portion 4 becomes variable greatly and the strength of the ceramicscomposite member 1 also becomes variable greatly. - The
free Si phase 6 is determined to have an average diameter of 0.05 μm or more and 10 μm or less. The average diameter of thefree Si phase 6 is equivalent to an average distance among theSiC particles 5. The average diameter of thefree Si phase 6 indicates a value determined as follows. First, the ceramicscomposite member 1 having thejoint portion 4 is heated to 1600° C. under reduced pressure to remove free Si contained in thejoint portion 4. It is assumed that the average diameter of thefree Si phase 6 indicates an average value of the diameters determined by a mercury porosimetry assuming that the diameters of fine pores formed by removing the free Si are cylinders. The obtained value agrees with the result obtain by observing the cross-sectional microstructure of thejoint portion 4 under a metallurgical microscope or a SEM. - The fact that the
free Si phase 6 has a small average diameter means that thefree Si phase 6 having low strength is miniaturized. It also means that thefree Si phase 6 is distributed homogeneously in the interstices of theSiC particles 5. The interstices of theSiC particles 5 is thoroughly filled with thefree Si phase 6. The strength of thejoint portion 4 and the ceramicscomposite member 1 can be improved with a good reproducibility by controlling so that thefree Si phase 6 has an average diameter of 10 μm or less. If thefree Si phase 6 has an average diameter of less than 0.05 μm, it is hard to keep a continuous network structure. Thus, holes and free carbon tend to be formed in thejoint portion 4, and the strength of thejoint portion 4 becomes variable. - The average diameter of the
free Si phase 6 is controlled by optimizing the particle diameter and the compounding ratio of thesilicon carbide powder 7 and thecarbon powder 8 in the adhesive layer which becomes a source for forming thejoint portion 4. Thesilicon carbide powder 7 has substantially no grain growth in the melted Si impregnation step. Thecarbon powder 8 and thecarbon component 9 present in the interstices of thefirst SiC particles 5 a based on thesilicon carbide powder 7 are reacted with the melted Si to homogenize the distributed state of thefree Si phase 6. Besides, thefree Si phase 6 is suppressed from segregating. Thus, it becomes possible to obtain thefree Si phase 6 which is fine and uniform. - But, if the
silicon carbide powder 7 and thecarbon powder 8 are blended in excessively large amounts into the adhesive, adhesiveness and bonding strength are degraded. Therefore, it is desirable that the amounts of thesilicon carbide powder 7 and thecarbon powder 8 added to the organic resin, which is a main constituting material of the adhesive, and also the particle diameters of thesilicon carbide powder 7 and thecarbon powder 8 are adjusted appropriately. Thus, it becomes possible that thefree Si phase 6 is uniformly miniaturized, and the continuous network structure of thefree Si phase 6 can be kept stably. - In a case where the
SiC particles 5 in thejoint portion 4 are produced by only the reaction of thecarbon component 9 derived from the organic resin, thecarbon component 9 tends to aggregate because of the original resin structure. Therefore, a choking phenomenon occurs, or thefree Si phase 6 becomes nonuniform and its average diameter increases. Thefree Si phase 6 has less strength in comparison with theSiC particles 5, so that the segregation of thefree Si phase 6 becomes a cause of the degradation or variation in strength of thejoint portion 4. Blending of thesilicon carbide powder 7 and thecarbon powder 8 into the adhesive suppresses thecarbon component 9 derived from the organic resin from aggregating, and the miniaturizedfree Si phase 6 can be obtained. - It is desirable that the content of the
free Si phase 6 in thejoint portion 4 is in a range of 5 to 85 mass %. If the content of thefree Si phase 6 exceeds 85 mass %, the strength of thejoint portion 4 and the ceramicscomposite member 1 cannot be improved with a good reproducibility. If the content of thefree Si phase 6 is less than 5 wt %, the network structure is separated, and pores and free carbon tend to generate. In such a case, the strength of thejoint portion 4 is degraded. The content of thefree Si phase 6 is preferably in a range of 5 to 75 mass %, and more preferably in a range of 10 to 50 mass %. The content of thefree Si phase 6 can be calculated on the basis of the theoretical density of Si and SiC from the result of image processing on the texture-observed pictures and the density of thejoint portion 4. - The thickness of the
joint portion 4 is preferably in a range of 5 μm or more and 5 mm or less as an average thickness. It is hard to produce thejoint portion 4 having an average thickness of less than 5 μm in view of a production process, and a portion, where thejoint portion 4 is insufficiently formed, becomes defective, and the strength and reliability of thejoint portion 4 degrade, and those of the ceramicscomposite member 1 also degrade. If the average thickness of thejoint portion 4 exceeds 5 mm, thejoint portion 4 becomes a cause of degradation of the strength, and the strength and reliability of the ceramicscomposite member 1 are degraded. It is desirable that the average thickness of thejoint portion 4 is made thin in such a range that a uniform state can be obtained. Thejoint portion 4 desirably has an average thickness of 1 mm or less, and more preferably 0.5 mm or less. - The
joint portion 4 preferably has a three-layer structure as shown inFIG. 5 . Thejoint portion 4 shown inFIG. 5 has first and second side layers 10, 11, which are in contact with the first and secondceramic members intermediate layer 12 which is positioned between them. The content of thefree Si phase 6 in theintermediate layer 12 is different from those of the first and second side layers 10, 11. The content of thefree Si phase 6 in theintermediate layer 12 is larger than in the first and second side layers 10, 11. It is desired that theintermediate layer 12 has a free Si composition ratio of 10 to 85% higher than the first and second side layers 10, 11. Thecenter layer 12 has preferably a thickness of 3 μm or more and 3 mm or less. - The first and second side layers 10, 11 contain the
free Si phase 6 in an amount smaller than that in theintermediate layer 12. A bonding strength to the first and secondceramic members joint portion 4 having the side layers 10, 11. Therefore, the reliability and endurance of the ceramicscomposite member 1 can be improved furthermore. Thejoint portion 4 having the first and second side layers 10, 11 and theintermediate layer 12 can be obtained by controlling the structure of the porous layer mainly comprising carbon according to the heat treatment conditions and the like for the adhesive layer. Besides, the adhesion strength of the side layers 10, 11 can also be enhanced by increasing the surface roughness of the adhered surfaces of the first and secondceramic members - The ceramics
composite member 1 of this embodiment controls the microstructure of thejoint portion 4 for coupling the first and secondceramic members SiC particles 5 configuring thejoint portion 4, and the network structure and the average diameter of thefree Si phase 6 present in the interstices of theSiC particles 5. Thus, the strength of thejoint portion 4 can be enhanced with a good reproducibility. Thejoint portion 4 typically has properties such as a Vickers hardness of Hv900 to 2200 and a four-point bending strength of 250 to 1400 MPa. The four-point bending strength of thejoint portion 4 indicates a value obtained by measuring the four-point bending strength of thecomposite member 1 with thejoint portion 4 determined at the center. - The ceramics
composite member 1 having the above-describedjoint portion 4 can enhance the mechanical properties such as a strength and the like with a good reproducibility, so that it can be applied to various types of members and parts which are required to have high strength. Especially, it contributes greatly to provision of high strength to large structures, complex-shaped parts and the like. The ceramicscomposite member 1 can be applied to various types of equipment parts and equipment members such as jigs for semiconductor manufacturing devices, semiconductor-associated parts (heatsink, dummy wafer, etc.), high-temperature structural members for gas turbines, aerospace and aeronautical structural members, mechanical seal members, brake members, sliding parts, mirror parts, pump parts, heat exchanger parts, chemical plant component parts and the like, and especially suitably used for the equipment parts and members which are required to have high strength. - Then, an embodiment of a method of producing a ceramics composite member of the invention will be described. The method of producing the ceramics
composite member 1 of the invention is classified broadly into a first method for bonding plural ceramics sintered bodies and a second method for bonding in a stage that at least one of them is a shaped body including silicon carbide powder and carbon powder. The first method will be described in detail with reference toFIG. 6A throughFIG. 6D . - As shown in
FIG. 6A , two or more ceramics sinteredbodies 21 are prepared. For the ceramics sinteredbodies 21, the same or different kinds of ceramics sintered bodies selected from carbide, nitride, oxide, boride, silicide and their composites are used. Specific examples of the ceramics sinteredbodies 21 are as described above. Adhered surfaces 21 a of the ceramics sinteredbodies 21 are preferably subjected to a blast treatment or an etching treatment to previously increase the surface roughness. Thus, adhesiveness of thejoint portion 4 formed by impregnation with the melted Si and the ceramics sinteredbodies 21 and also their bonding strength can be enhanced. - Then, as shown in
FIG. 6B , the two ceramics sinteredbodies 21 are adhered with an adhesive 22 containing silicon carbide powder and an organic resin. The adhesive 22 may also contain carbon powder. The adhesive 22 is present as an adhesive layer between the ceramics sinteredbodies 21. The organic resin as an adhesive component of the adhesive 22 is preferably a thermosetting resin such as a phenol resin, a melamine resin, an unsaturated polyester resin, an epoxy resin, a polyurethane resin, a polyimide resin or the like. Thus, the layer shape of the adhesive 22 before the impregnation with the melted Si can be kept stably, and a filling property and dispersibility of the silicon carbide powder and the carbon powder in the adhesive 22 can be improved. - The silicon carbide powder contained in the adhesive 22 desirably has an average particle diameter of 0.1 to 100 μm. If the silicon carbide powder has an average particle diameter of less than 0.1 μm, the distributed state of the
silicon carbide powder 7, thecarbon powder 8 and thecarbon component 9 in the porous layer (FIG. 4 ) formed by the heat treatment of the adhesive 22 tends to become heterogeneous. Thus, the dispersed state of thesecond SiC particles 5 b and thefree Si phase 6 in the joint portion 4 (FIG. 3 ) formed with the porous layer impregnated with the melted Si becomes heterogeneous. If the average particle diameter of the silicon carbide powder exceeds 100 μm, the size of thefree Si phase 6 becomes large, and there is a possibility that the strength of thejoint portion 4 cannot be enhanced sufficiently. - The carbon powder preferably has an average particle diameter of 0.08 to 20 μm. If the carbon powder has an average particle diameter of less than 0.08 μm, it tends to aggregate, and the distributed states of the
second SiC particles 5 b and thefree Si phase 6 in the joint portion 4 (FIG. 3 ) become heterogeneous. If the average particle diameter of the carbon powder exceeds 20 μm, a choking phenomenon tends to occur, and the strength of thejoint portion 4 might be degraded. Besides, thefree Si phase 6 has a large average diameter, and the strength of thejoint portion 4 is degraded or becomes variable. - It is preferable that the adhesive 22 contains the silicon carbide powder in a range of 5 to 80 mass % with respect to a total amount of the silicon carbide powder and the carbon component derived from the carbon powder and the organic resin. A mass ratio of the silicon carbide powder and the carbon component derived from the carbon powder and the organic resin is preferably determined as SiC:C=5 to 80:95 to 20, and more preferably SiC:C=10 to 70:90 to 30. If the ratio of the silicon carbide powder is less than 5 mass %, the distributed state of the
SiC particles 5 and thefree Si phase 6 in thejoint portion 4 becomes heterogeneous. Meanwhile, if the ratio of the silicon carbide powder exceeds 80 mass %, the porosity of thejoint portion 4 increases, and the strength cannot be expressed satisfactorily. Thus, the ceramics sinteredbodies - Then, as shown in
FIG. 6C , theadhesive layer 22 is carbonized by heat-treating, and theadhesive layer 22 becomes aporous layer 23 accordingly. In other words, the organic resin is carbonized by thermally decomposing, and theadhesive layer 22 is changed to a porous body. Theporous layer 23 functions as a preliminary joint portion. The heat treatment to change theadhesive layer 22 to the porous body is preferably performed in vacuum or an inert gas atmosphere at a temperature in a range of 400 to 2000° C. - It is desirable that the
porous layer 23 has a porosity of 20 to 80%. If the porosity of theporous layer 23 is less than 20%, the supply routes for the melted Si are cut to cause a choking phenomenon, and a residual carbon amount of thejoint portion 4 increases, or the production of the silicon carbide from carbon accompanies a volume expansion to cause cracks easily. If the porosity of theporous layer 23 exceeds 80%, the amount of the free Si phase increases. Such phenomena become the cause of degradation of the strength of thejoint portion 4. Besides, if the porosity is excessively high, the preliminary joint portion (porous layer) 23 before the impregnation with the melted Si tends to have cracks or the like, and the production yield and strength of the ceramicscomposite member 1 are degraded. - Then, the
porous layer 23 as the preliminary joint portion is heated to a temperature of the melting point or more of Si, and theporous layer 23 in the heated state is impregnated with the melted Si. The melted Si impregnation step heats theporous layer 23 as the preliminary joint portion to, for example, a temperature of 1400° C. or more and impregnates it with the melted Si in vacuum or in an inert atmosphere. By the melted Si impregnation step, theporous layer 23 as the preliminary joint portion is subjected to reaction-sintering to form thejoint portion 4. In other words, as shown inFIG. 6D , the two ceramics sinteredbodies 21 are coupled with thejoint portion 4 formed by the reaction-sintering of theporous layer 23 to produce the ceramicscomposite member 1. - The carbon powder and the carbon component derived from the organic resin present in the
porous layer 23 react in contact with the melted Si at a high temperature to produce silicon carbide (second SiC particles 5 b). The silicon carbide powder blended into the adhesive 22 has substantially no grain growth and becomes thefirst SiC particles 5 a. The SiC particles produced by the reaction-sintering become thesecond SiC particles 5 b having an average particle diameter smaller than that of thefirst SiC particles 5 a based on the silicon carbide powder which are blended as an aggregate into the adhesive 22. Besides, the Si which was not involved in the reaction is continuously present as thefree Si phase 6 in the network form in the interstices of the first andsecond SiC particles - By applying the above-described bonding process, the two ceramics sintered
bodies 21 can be coupled by thejoint portion 4 formed with the silicon-silicon carbide composite material which includes theSiC particles 5 having an average particle diameter of 0.1 μm or more and 0.1 mm or less, and the free Si phase continuously provided in network form in the interstices of theSiC particles 5 and having an average diameter of 0.05 μm or more and 10 μm or less. The silicon-silicon carbide composite material configuring thejoint portion 4 has a texture which is composed of thefirst SiC particles 5 a, thesecond SiC particles 5 b and thefree Si phase 6 continuously provided in the network form in the interstices of theSiC particles - The
joint portion 4 excels in bonding strength to the ceramics sinteredbodies 21 and also excels in its own strength and reproducibility. Therefore, the two ceramics sinteredbodies 21 can be joined with a high strength, and the strength of the ceramicscomposite member 1 after bonding can be enhanced with a good reproducibility. Besides, the cost required for bonding can be reduced. Therefore, the ceramicscomposite member 1 suitable for complex-shaped or large ceramic members can be provided with a high strength at a low cost. The ceramicscomposite member 1 can be applied as a various types of parts and members. - Then, the second coupling method (bonding method) will be described in detail with reference to
FIG. 7A throughFIG. 7D . As shown inFIG. 7A , shapedbodies 24 containing silicon carbide powder and carbon powder are prepared. The shapedbodies 24 may be applied to each of two to-be-bonded members (ceramic members 2, 3). One of two to-be-bonded members may be the ceramics sinteredbody 21 in the same way as in the first method. -
FIG. 7A shows a state that the shapedbodies 24 are applied to the two to-be-bonded members. The shapedbodies 24 become a silicon-silicon carbide composite sintered body by reaction-sintering. In a case where the ceramics sintered body is applied to one of the to-be-bonded members, its type is not particularly limited. The ceramics sintered body is not limited to a silicon carbide sintered body or a silicon-silicon carbide composite sintered body but may be a nitride based or oxide based ceramics sintered body. - For example, the shaped
bodies 24 are produced as follows. First, silicon carbide powder and carbon powder are mixed at a prescribed ratio. It is desirable that the compounding ratio of the silicon carbide powder and the carbon powder is in a range of 10:1 to 10:10 in mass ratio. If the amount of the carbon powder is smaller than the above range, the produced amount of SiC decreases, the size of the free Si phase increases, and the strength of the silicon-silicon carbide composite sintered body might be degraded. Meanwhile, if the amount of the carbon powder is excessively large, the volume expansion amount increases at the time of reaction-sintering, and cracks tend to be produced locally. In such a case, the strength might be degraded. A known organic binder may be added to the mixture powder if necessary. - Then, the mixture powder of the silicon carbide powder and the carbon powder is formed into shaped bodies having a desired shape by press forming. As a press forming method, powder pressing, press casting or the like can be applied. In a case where the powder pressing is applied, the pressure is preferably in a range of 0.5 to 2 MPa. For the press forming of powder, die pressing, rubber pressing, cold isotropic pressing or the like is applied. In a case where the press casting is applied, it is desirable that the mixture powder is dispersed into water or an organic solvent to prepare a slurry, and the slurry is subjected to casting under a pressure of 0.5 to 10 MPa. The application of the press forming provides shaped bodies having an appropriate density (filled state of the powder).
- Thus, the two shaped
bodies 24 are prepared as the to-be-bonded members. Otherwise, the shapedbody 24 is prepared as one of the two to-be-bonded members. In such a case, a ceramics sintered body is prepared as the other. And, the two shaped bodies 24 (or the shapedbody 24 and the ceramics sintered body 21) are adhered with the adhesive 22 containing the silicon carbide powder and the organic resin, and the adhesive 22 also containing the carbon powder as shown inFIG. 7A . It is preferable that the adhesive 22 is configured in the same manner as the first method. It is also preferable that the adhered surfaces are treated in the same manner as the first method. - As shown in
FIG. 7B , theadhesive layer 22 is subjected to the heat treatment in the same manner as the first method to form theporous layer 23. Thus, the two shapedbodies 24 are temporarily coupled with theporous layer 23 to produce apreliminary coupling member 25. And, as shown inFIG. 7C , thepreliminary coupling member 25 is heated to a temperature of the melting point or more of Si, and thepreliminary coupling member 25 in the heated state is entirely impregnated with the melted Si. In a case where one of the to-be-bonded members is a ceramics sintered body, the shapedbodies 24 and theporous layer 23 are impregnated with the melted Si. The melted Si impregnation step is performed in the same manner as the above-described first method. - In the melted Si impregnation step, the two shaped
bodies 24 are respectively subjected to reaction-sintering to form silicon-silicon carbide composite sinteredbodies 26, and theporous layer 23 is also subjected to the reaction-sintering to form ajoint portion 4. In other words, the ceramicscomposite member 1 is produced by integrating the two silicon-silicon carbide composite sinteredbodies 26 undergone the reaction-sintering with thejoint portion 4 also undergone the reaction-sintering at the same time as shown inFIG. 7D . - The carbon powder contained in the shaped
bodies 24 reacts with the melted Si at a high temperature to produce silicon carbide. At the same time, the carbon powder contained in theporous layer 23 and the carbon component derived from the organic resin react with the melted Si at a high temperature to produce silicon carbide. Besides, the silicon-silicon carbide composite sinteredbodies 26 and thejoint portion 4 having a structure in which the free Si phase is continuously present in a network form among the silicon carbide particles can be obtained. When thejoint portion 4 is formed, the two silicon-silicon carbide composite sinteredbodies 26 are joined with high strength. - Thus, the two silicon-silicon carbide composite sintered bodies 26 (or the silicon-silicon carbide composite sintered
body 26 and the other ceramics sintered body 21) can be coupled by thejoint portion 4 which includes the SiC particles having an average particle diameter of 0.1 μm or more and 0.1 mm or less, and the free Si phase continuously provided in a net-like form in the interstices of the SiC particles and having an average diameter of 0.05 μm or more and 10 μm or less. As described above, thejoint portion 4 has a texture which is comprised of thefirst SiC particles 5 a based on the silicon carbide powder blended into the adhesive 22, thesecond SiC particles 5 b which are produced by reacting the melted Si with the carbon powder blended into the adhesive 22 and the carbon derived from the organic resin, and thefree Si phase 6 continuously provided in the network form in the interstices of theSiC particles - The
joint portion 4 excels in bonding strength to the silicon-silicon carbide composite sinteredbody 26 and also excels in its own strength and reproducibility. Besides, the bonding strength between the silicon-silicon carbide composite sinteredbody 26 and thejoint portion 4 is further improved by reaction-sintering at the same time. Thus, the twoceramic members composite member 1 after bonding can be improved with a good reproducibility. In addition, the cost required for bonding can be reduced. Therefore, the ceramicscomposite member 1 suitable for complex-shaped or large ceramic members can be provided with high strength at a low cost. The ceramicscomposite member 1 can be applied as various types of parts and members. - Then, specific examples of the invention and the evaluated results will be described.
- Silicon carbide powder having an average particle diameter of 0.5 μm and carbon powder (carbon black) having an average particle diameter of 0.01 μm were mixed at a mass ratio of 10:3 (=SiC:C). The mixture powder was mixed with an appropriate amount of an organic binder, and the mixture was dispersed into a solvent to prepare a slurry. The slurry was charged into a forming die under a pressure of 1 MPa by a pressure casting machine. Thus, two plate-like shaped bodies having a prescribed shaped body density were produced.
- Then, the two plate-like shaped bodies were air dried and adhered with an adhesive. As the adhesive, a mixture of a phenol resin with silicon carbide powder having an average particle diameter of 0.1 μm and carbon powder (carbon black) having an average particle diameter of 0.08 μm was used. The ratio between the silicon carbide powder and the carbon component derived from the carbon powder and the phenol resin was determined to be SiC:C=25:75. The adhered material was heated and kept at a temperature of 500° C. in an inert gas atmosphere to change the adhesive layer to a porous layer. A preliminary coupling member having the two plate-like shaped bodies coupled with the porous layer was heated to a temperature of 1400° C. or more under reduced pressure or in an inert gas atmosphere, and the shaped bodies and the porous layer kept in the heated state were impregnated with the melted silicon.
- In the melted silicon impregnation step, the two plate-like shaped bodies were subjected to reaction-sintering to produce an Si—SiC composite sintered body, and also a ceramics composite member was obtained by coupling them with a joint portion formed by reaction-sintering. The joint portion had a thickness of about 5 μm and a porosity of less than 1%. Besides, each surface of the joint portion was polished and its microstructure was observed with an electron microscope. It was confirmed that the joint portion had the texture in which the free Si phase was continuously provided in the network form in the interstices of the SiC particles. The joint portion had a single layer structure. The SiC particles had an average particle diameter of 0.1 μm. The free Si phase had an average diameter of 0.05 μm, and its content (composition ratio) was 10 mass %. The obtained ceramics composite member was subjected to the characteristic evaluation to be described later.
- Two shaped bodies produced in the same manner as in Example 1 described above were heated and kept at a temperature of 600° C. in an inert gas atmosphere to remove (degrease) the organic binder. The degreased shaped bodies were heated to a temperature of 1400° C. or more under reduced pressure or in an inert gas atmosphere, and the shaped bodies kept in the heated state were impregnated with melted silicon. In the melted silicon impregnation step, the shaped bodies were subjected to reaction-sintering to obtain two Si—SiC composite sintered bodies.
- Then, the adhered surfaces of the two SiC radical reaction sintered bodies were subjected to a blast treatment and adhered with an adhesive. As the adhesive, a mixture of a phenol resin with silicon carbide powder having an average particle diameter of 1 μm and carbon powder (carbon black) having an average particle diameter of 0.8 μm was used. The ratio between the silicon carbide powder and the carbon component derived from the carbon powder and the phenol resin was determined to be SiC:C=30:70. The adhered material was heated and kept at a temperature of 500° C. in an inert gas atmosphere to change the adhesive layer to a porous layer. A preliminary coupling member having the two sintered bodies coupled with the porous layer was heated to a temperature of 1400° C. or more under reduced pressure or in an inert gas atmosphere, and the porous layer kept in the heated state was impregnated with the melted silicon.
- In the melted silicon impregnation step, a ceramics composite member having the two Si—SiC composite sintered bodies coupled with a joint portion formed by reaction-sintering was produced. The joint portion had a thickness of about 20 μm and a porosity of 3%. Besides, the surfaces of the joint portion were polished and its microstructure was observed with an electron microscope. It was confirmed that the joint portion had the texture in which the free Si phase was continuously provided in the network form in the interstices of the SiC particles. The joint portion had a single layer structure. The SiC particles had an average particle diameter of 10 μm. The free Si phase had an average diameter of 0.1 μm, and its content was 30 mass %. The obtained ceramics composite member was subjected to the characteristic evaluation to be described later.
- As to-be-bonded members, an Si—SiC composite sintered body, shaped bodies for Si—SiC composite body, an ordinary SiC sintered body, an Si3N4 sintered body, a ZrO2 sintered body and an SiC-continuous fiber composite material were prepared. They were coupled according to the combinations shown in Table 1 to produce ceramics composite members. The coupling step was performed in the same manner as in Examples 1 and 2. The adhesives used for coupling had the compositions as shown in Table 1. Table 1 also shows the properties of the joint portions. The joint portions of the ceramics composite members had the texture in which the free Si phase is continuously provided in the network form in the interstices of the SiC particles, and also had the single layer structure. The individual ceramics composite members were subjected to the characteristic evaluation to be described later.
- Two shaped bodies produced in the same manner as in Example 1 were mutually bonded with a silicon sheet held between them to produce a preliminary coupling member. The preliminary coupling member was impregnated with melted silicon in the same conditions as in Example 1.

First, test pieces prepared from the joint portions which were mirror finished and whose microstructures were observed were used to measure the joint portions for a Vickers hardness. The results are shown in Table 2. The Vickers hardness is an average value of the individual examples.
- Then, bending test pieces each having a width of 4 mm, a thickness of 3 mm and a length of 40 mm were produced from the individual ceramics composite members by machining. At that time, it was determined that the joint portion was perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the test piece and positioned at the center of the test piece. Such bending test pieces were used to perform a four-point bending test (room temperature) under conditions of a span of 30 mm and a head speed of 0.5 mm/min. The results are shown in Table 2. The measured result by the bending test is an average value of the individual examples.

At the same time, the individual substrates were also measured for the heat conductivity. From the results, the heat conductivity of the joint portion was determined by calculating. The results are shown in Table 2.
