Definitions
- the present invention relates to a white zirconia sintered body whose color tone does not change depending on the thickness of a base material and a method for producing the same.
- zirconia sintered bodies are widely used in industrial products such as grinding media and bearings. Furthermore, in recent years, various colored zirconia sintered bodies have been developed. The colored zirconia sintered body is widely used for decorative purposes and jewelry.
- a pure zirconia sintered body is a sintered body having a translucent milky white color tone.
- an inorganic compound having high thermal stability is used as a pigment.
- a transition metal oxide (Patent Document 1) or a rare earth oxide (Patent Document 2) is added as a pigment, and coloring by light absorption derived from the pigment is used.
- a method for coloring a zirconia sintered body has been reported.
- Patent Document 3 a white zirconia sintered body to which alumina has been added (Patent Document 3) has been reported as a zirconia sintered body having optical transparency and a high-grade white color. Further, a zirconia sintered body to which 2 to 25 wt% of silica containing cristobalite is added is disclosed (Patent Document 4).
- glass materials such as tempered glass and crystallized glass are used for exterior members (hereinafter also simply referred to as “exterior members”) for portable electronic devices and the like.
- these glass materials are difficult to color. Therefore, the use of a zirconia sintered body that can be easily colored with a pigment as an exterior member as an alternative to a glass material has been studied.
- the member used for the exterior member is preferably as light as possible. Therefore, when the zirconia sintered body is used as an exterior member, it is necessary to reduce the thickness.
- a zirconia sintered body exhibiting a dark color tone such as a zirconia sintered body using a black pigment or the like, is colored using light absorption. Therefore, even if the sintered body is thin, the color tone is stable.
- the white zirconia sintered body light is transmitted through the sintered body by reducing the thickness of the sintered body.
- the color of the base member is transparent, the color of the zirconia sintered body and the color of the base member overlap, and the color tone changes from the base material zirconia sintered body, Furthermore, there is a problem that the color tone of the base material is different from the color tone of the exterior member in which the base material and the base are combined.
- quartz glass used as an exterior member has been studied to reduce the transmittance by introducing pores into the glass.
- a method has been reported in which bubbles are generated in quartz glass by a foaming agent, thereby reducing the transmittance of quartz glass (Patent Document 5).
- Patent Document 5 a method has been reported in which bubbles are generated in quartz glass by a foaming agent, thereby reducing the transmittance of quartz glass.
- the strength of the quartz glass is lowered and further, water is contained in the open pores generated in the quartz glass. Therefore, the transmittance reduction method using a foaming agent cannot be applied to quartz glass used as an exterior member application requiring high strength.

- the obtained white zirconia sintered body was subjected to double-side grinding and then double-side polished to obtain a zirconia plate having a thickness of about 1 mm.
- the density of the obtained zirconia plate was 5.230 g / cm 3 and the relative density was 99.4%.
- Each surface of the obtained zirconia plate and glass fiber reinforced plastic (trade name: epoxy / glass cloth laminate molded product SL-EC, manufactured by Nitto Shinko Co., Ltd.) was washed with acetone.
- an epoxy-based thermosetting resin (trade name: XN1245SR, manufactured by Nagase ChemteX Corporation) is uniformly applied to the adhesive surface, and the load is uniformly applied to the upper and lower surfaces of the composite plate.
- a composite plate was obtained by bonding under conditions of 30 minutes.
- the obtained composite plate was cut to a size of 32 mm ⁇ 25 mm.
- the composite plate having a thickness of about 0.8 mm was finally obtained by grinding and polishing the zirconia plate side of the cut composite plate. Grinding and polishing were carried out under conditions that produce as little residual stress as possible. There was no peeling of the adhesive or chipping of the zirconia plate due to processing, and the composite plate had high workability.
- 2.0 g / cm 3 was used as the reinforced plastic density.
- the thickness of the produced composite plate was 0.750 mm.
- the thickness of each layer of the composite plate was 0.221 mm for the zirconia plate, 18 ⁇ m for the adhesive layer, and 0.511 mm for fiber reinforced plastics.
- the thickness of the zirconia plate / fiber reinforced plastics was 0.43.
- the composite plate had an apparent density of 2.9 g / cm 3 and a Vickers hardness of 1200.
- L *, a *, and b * were 92.0, ⁇ 0.33, and 0.04, and the lightness L * was 90 or more.
- a steel ball drop test was performed in 5 cm increments. The test result was 25 cm, and it was found that the composite plate did not crack even when a hard sphere was dropped from 25 cm and exhibited high impact resistance. Further, a steel ball drop test was performed in which a healthy portion of the tested test piece was aimed at and dropped once from a steel ball drop height of 30 cm. There was no crack and the impact resistance was higher than that evaluated in 5 cm increments. It is considered that a high value was exhibited because there was no interface peeling of the adhesive layer due to repeated impact tests.
- Comparative Example 1 Using only zirconia powder (TZ-3YS, manufactured by Tosoh Corporation) as a raw material powder not containing silica, a molded body was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1. The obtained molded body was sintered in the atmosphere at an atmospheric sintering temperature of 1500 ° C. for 2 hours to obtain a primary sintered body. The obtained primary sintered body was subjected to HIP treatment at an HIP sintering temperature of 1500 ° C., an HIP treatment time of 1 hour, and an HIP treatment pressure of 150 MPa to produce a sintered body of this comparative example. The results are shown in Table 3. The obtained sintered body showed translucency, and the lightness L * was less than 90.

The obtained molded body was sintered in the atmosphere at an atmospheric sintering temperature of 1500 ° C. for 2 hours to obtain a sintered body. The results are shown in Table 3. The obtained sintered body showed translucency, and the lightness L * was less than 90.
- TZ-3YS zirconia powder
- Comparative Example 3 Zirconia (TZ-3YS, manufactured by Tosoh Corporation) to which 5 wt% of amorphous silica was added was sintered at 1350 ° C. for 2 hours to obtain a sintered body. As a result of XRD measurement, no peaks due to cristobalite and other silica polymorphs were observed. The results are shown in Table 3. The silica particles of the sintered body were composed only of amorphous silica and did not contain cristobalite type silica. The sintered body had a total light transmittance of over 2% and a lightness L * of less than 90.
- Comparative Example 4 A zirconia sintered body was produced in the same manner as in Example 1 except that 50 wt% silica was added.
- the atmospheric sintering temperature was 1400 ° C.
- the HIP temperature was 1500 ° C.
- the relative density of the obtained sintered body was 99.5%.
- the sintered body was a sintered body having cracks in zirconia crystal particles in addition to the microcracks in the silica particles.
- the cristobalite phase fraction was 32 wt%.
- the white zirconia sintered body of the present invention does not transmit light as a thin member, has a stable color tone, is excellent in design, and has high strength. Therefore, it is suitable for exterior members of electronic devices and the like that tend to be miniaturized, and can also be used as ornaments such as watches and jewelry, and also as dental materials.
