Abstract
A porous aluminum body having high porosity and a manufacturing method therefor are provided, wherein the porous aluminum body can be manufactured by continuous manufacturing steps. In the present invention, this porous aluminum body includes a plurality of aluminum fibers connected to each other. The aluminum fibers each have a plurality of columnar protrusions formed at intervals on an outer peripheral surface of the aluminum fibers, the columnar protrusions protruding outward from the outer peripheral surface. Adjacent aluminum fibers are integrated with the aluminum fibers and the columnar protrusions.
Description
- The present invention relates to a porous aluminum body including a large number of aluminum fibers and a manufacturing method therefor.
- For example, many porous bodies made of aluminum are proposed as an electrode collector of an electric double-layer capacitor or a lithium ion battery, a filter for recovering hydrogen in a fuel cell, a refrigerant passage of a heat pipe for heat exchange, or a regenerator of a Stirling engine mechanism.
- Conventionally, as such a porous aluminum body, a porous body obtained by forming an aluminum foil and a porous body having a skeleton obtained by sintering aluminum powder as observed in the following
Patent Literature 1 are known. - However, there has been a problem that when a porous body is formed of these aluminum foil and aluminum powder, it is difficult to obtain a porous body having high porosity. On the other hand, the improvement in a porous body has been demanded because, in the above capacitor or lithium ion battery, better characteristics can be obtained as the open porosity of an electrode collector is increased, and similarly because, also as a refrigerant passage of a heat exchanger, the heat exchange efficiency is increased as the open porosity of the porous body is increased.
- Therefore, the present inventors have proposed, in the following

FIG. 1 toFIG. 4 illustrate a first embodiment of the porous aluminum body of the present invention. - A plurality of
aluminum fibers 1 are mutually connected and integrated and formed into a plate shape, thus obtaining the porous aluminum body. Here, thealuminum fibers 1 each have an average wire diameter of 40 to 300 μm (preferably 50 to 100 μm) and a length of 0.2 to 20 mm (preferably 1 to 10 mm). - Here, the
aluminum fibers 1 each have, on an outer peripheral surface thereof, a plurality ofcolumnar protrusions 2 protruding outward from the outer peripheral surface. Thesecolumnar protrusions 2 are formed at intervals in 5 to 100 places per 100 μm in length of the aluminum fibers. Further, thecolumnar protrusions 2 each have a smaller diameter than thealuminum fibers 1 and a length protruding outward from the outer peripheral surface of 1 to 500 μm. - Further, at least the tip part of each
columnar protrusion 2 is formed of a compound including titanium and aluminum which has a higher melting point than that of thealuminum fiber 1 itself. - Then, the
aluminum fibers 1 themselves and thecolumnar protrusions 2 of theadjacent aluminum fibers 1 are mutually joined and integrated to form the porous aluminum body. - Next, a method for manufacturing the porous aluminum body having the above configuration will be described.
- First, at ordinary temperatures, titanium powder, titanium hydride powder, or a mixed powder thereof each having an average particle size of 1 to 50 μm (preferably 5 to 30 μm) (hereinafter generically referred to as titanium powder 3) is added to a large number of
aluminum fibers 1 having an average wire diameter of 40 to 300 μm (preferably 50 to 200 μm) and a length of 0.2 to 20 mm (preferably 1 to 10 mm) followed by mixing these components to obtain premixed fibers (raw material premixing step). - At this time, the
titanium powder 3 in an amount of 0.5 to 20 is added to 100 of the aluminum fibers in terms of the weight ratio. Then, thealuminum fibers 1 and thetitanium powder 3 are mixed while allowed to flow using mixing equipment such as an automatic mortar, a pan type oscillating granulator, and a shaker mixer. Thereby, thetitanium powder 3 is uniformly scattered and adhered to the outer peripheral surface of thealuminum fibers 1 at intervals of 5 to 100 μm, as illustrated inFIG. 3 . - Next, an organic binder solution is sprayed on and mixed with the premixed fibers and dried at 40° C. or less. The organic binder used here is desirably a binder which is burned, decomposed and vaporized at 500° C. or less in the air, and does not contain residual carbon. Examples of suitable organic binders include an acrylic resin and a cellulose type polymer.
- Further, examples of a solvent which can be used include a water-based solvent, an alcohol-based solvent, and an organic solvent system other than the alcohol-based solvent. However, when a water-based solvent is used, the drying temperature is desirably 40° C. or less as described above because the
aluminum fibers 1 are rapidly oxidized at a temperature of more than 50° C. in the presence of water. - Next, the premixed fiber raw material produced in the above steps is quantitatively supplied to an oscillating conveyor at a predetermined filling speed. Then, the premixed fibers spread in the width direction of the oscillating conveyor while moving in the traveling direction on the oscillating conveyor and are leveled to a thickness variation of ±10% or less. Next, the premixed fibers on the oscillating conveyor are transferred to a carbon sole plate placed on the belt conveyor of a sintering furnace. At this time, since the belt conveyor of the sintering furnace moves at a constant speed, the premixed fibers are continuously transferred to the carbon sole plate with an almost uniform thickness having a thickness variation of ±10% or less.
- Note that by transferring the premixed fibers to the carbon sole plate, the aluminum fibers can be prevented from adhering in the latter sintering step. Incidentally, examples of the carbon sole plate to be used include a hard plate and a flexible sheet.
- Further, the thickness of the premixed fiber raw material on the carbon sole plate is preferably larger than the thickness of the designated product by 1 to 10%, desirably 2 to 5%, so that after passing through the latter sintering step, the raw material is rolled and formed to a predetermined thickness and bulk density of the product. Note that a proper value of bulk density is different depending on the applications of the product and the like, and when the product is an electrode collector of an electric double-layer capacitor or a lithium ion battery, the product is preferably formed to have a bulk density in the range of 0.2 to 0.6 g/cm3.
- Next, the premixed fiber raw material on the carbon sole plate is conveyed to the sintering furnace by the belt conveyor and first held in a temperature range of 350 to 500° C. for 0.5 to 5 minutes, thus performing debinding treatment. Then, the resulting fiber raw material is subjected to the sintering process by holding it in a temperature range of 655 to 665° C. for 0.5 to 60 minutes (preferably for 1 to 20 minutes) in an argon gas atmosphere at a dew point of −50° C. or less (preferably −65° C. or less) (sintering step). Thereby, a porous aluminum body in which a large number of
aluminum fibers 1 are connected is formed. - The production process of the porous aluminum body in this sintering step will be described in detail. First, before the sintering step, the
aluminum fibers 1 are in the state of being covered with an oxide formed on the outer peripheral surface thereof. Then, the inner pressure is increased by melting the aluminum as the temperature increases to a temperature range of 655 to 665° C. in this sintering step. - On the other hand, at the above sintering temperature, the
titanium powder 3 adhered to the outer peripheral surface of thealuminum fibers 1 is reacted with the aluminum oxide at the adhered point, and the internal molten aluminum is blown outward through breakage of the aluminum oxide film. Then, the blown molten aluminum reacts with titanium to form a compound having a higher melting point, and the compound is solidified to formcolumnar protrusions 2 as illustrated inFIG. 4 . Further, thecolumnar protrusions 2 are integrated in a molten state with othercolumnar protrusions 2 onadjacent aluminum fibers 1 or subjected to solid phase sintering with each other to connect thealuminum fibers 1. Thus, a porous aluminum body as illustrated inFIG. 1 as a whole is formed. Note that examples of the compound produced by the reaction between aluminum and titanium include Al3Ti. - Therefore, according to the method for manufacturing a porous aluminum body as described above, a porous aluminum body having a porosity of 70% or more can be manufactured continuously and relatively inexpensively.
- Note that in the above first embodiment, a sintered body sheet was manufactured using only the
aluminum fiber 1, but a mixture of thealuminum fiber 1 and aluminum powder can also be used. For example, aluminum powder having an average particle size of 20 to 300 μm can be used. Further, the aluminum powder can be mixed with the aluminum fiber in an amount of 20 to 50 mass % in terms of the mass ratio of the aluminum powder to the total amount of the aluminum fiber and the aluminum powder. - Thus, by suitably mixing the aluminum powder, the porosity of a porous aluminum body can be adjusted, or the mechanical strength of the porous aluminum body can be improved.
-
FIG. 5A toFIG. 5C illustrate a second embodiment of the porous aluminum body according to the present invention. - This porous aluminum body is different from that shown in the first embodiment in that, although a plurality of
aluminum fibers 1 are mutually connected and integrated in the same manner as shown in the first embodiment, the porous aluminum body is formed into a bulk shape such as a columnar shape, a cylindrical shape, and a rectangular plate shape. - Here, a method for manufacturing the above porous aluminum body will be described. Also in this manufacturing method, titanium powder, titanium hydride powder, or a mixed powder thereof each having an average particle size of 1 to 50 μm (preferably 5 to 30 μm) (hereinafter generically referred to as titanium powder 3) is added to a large number of
aluminum fibers 1 having an average wire diameter of 40 to 300 μm (preferably 50 to 200 μm) and a length of 0.2 to 20 mm (preferably 1 to 10 mm) followed by mixing these components to obtain premixed fibers (raw material premixing step). The raw material premix step is the same as that shown in the first embodiment. - However, in this manufacturing method, the premixed fiber raw material produced in the above step is quantitatively supplied, for example, to a carbon mold (having an opening of 200 mm×200 mm and a depth of 20 mm in
FIG. 5C ) which defines a product form illustrated inFIG. 5A toFIG. 5C at a predetermined filling speed to bulk-fill the mold. At this time, when a porous aluminum body having a hole or a through hole as illustrated inFIG. 5A andFIG. 5B is manufactured, a core for forming the hole or through hole is previously arranged in a predetermined position in a carbon mold. - Next, the carbon mold is conveyed to the sintering furnace, and the fiber raw material is first held in a temperature range of 350 to 500° C. for 0.5 to 5 minutes, thus performing debinding treatment. Then, the resulting fiber raw material is subjected to the sintering process by holding it in a temperature range of 655 to 665° C. for 0.5 to 60 minutes (preferably for 1 to 20 minutes) in an argon gas atmosphere at a dew point of −50° C. or less (preferably −65° C. or less) (sintering step). Thereby, a porous aluminum body having a shape as illustrated in
FIG. 5A toFIG. 5C in which a large number ofaluminum fibers 1 are connected is formed. According to the method for manufacturing a porous aluminum body as described above, a porous aluminum body having a porosity of 70% or more and a pore size of 300 to 600 μm is obtained. - A porous aluminum body was manufactured by the method for manufacturing a porous aluminum body shown in the first embodiment.
- First, 5% by weight of titanium hydride (TiH2) having an average particle size of 10 μm was added to aluminum fibers having an average wire diameter of 50 μm to prepare premixed fibers, and then the premixed fibers are wet-blended with a cellulose binder followed by drying to obtain a product, which was used as premixed fibers.
- Then, the premixed fibers were uniformly spread on a carbon sole plate to obtain a filled layer having a thickness of about 1 mm in the state of bulk-filling. Next, the premixed fibers on the carbon sole plate were sintered at 658° C. for 10 minutes in an argon gas atmosphere at a dew point of −65° C. or less to prepare a porous aluminum body.
-
FIG. 6 toFIG. 9 are each a microscope photograph of a porous aluminum body manufactured in this way. - These photographs reveal that the resulting porous aluminum body comprises a large number of aluminum fibers having an average wire diameter of 50 μm and a plurality of columnar protrusions formed at intervals on an outer peripheral surface of the aluminum fibers, the columnar protrusions having a short length protruding outward from the outer peripheral surface, wherein adjacent aluminum fibers are connected to each other at the columnar protrusions and integrated.
