図2(A)は、焼結用セラミックス以外の材料からなる物品11が有する凹部に充填形成されている、焼結用セラミックスからなる非焼結部15の表面に炭素粉末含有層14を配設した積層物10の該炭素粉末含有層14に(図示していない光源から)レーザーを照射する説明図である。図2(B)は、炭素粉末含有層14を介して非焼結部15に照射されたレーザーのエネルギーにより非焼結部15が焼結されて、焼結部16が形成されたことを示す説明図である。
以下、図3、図4及び図5を用いて説明する。
図3(1)は、板状の原料物品10を示す断面図であり、板状の基材からなる基部11と、その1面側に形成された、焼結用セラミックスからなる非焼結部(非焼結層)12Aとを備える。基部11を構成する基材は、金属、合金及びセラミックスから選ばれた少なくとも1種からなることが好ましい。非焼結部(非焼結層)12Aは、溶射法、電子ビーム物理蒸着法、レーザー化学蒸着法、コールドスプレー法、焼結用セラミックス粒子、分散媒及び必要に応じて用いられる高分子バインダーを含むスラリーを塗布した後、乾燥を行い、更に脱脂する方法等の、従来、公知の方法で形成することができる。基部11及び非焼結部(非焼結層)12Aは、接合されていてよいし、接合されずに、非焼結部(非焼結層)12Aが基部11の上に載置されていてもよい。
はじめに、原料物品10を第1工程に供し、非焼結部(非焼結層)12Aの表面に炭素粉末含有層14Aを形成し、積層物10Aを得る(図3(2)参照)。この第1工程では、上記の炭素粉末含有層の形成方法を適用することができる。そして、この積層物10Aを第2工程に供し、図3(2)に示される領域R1に対して、レーザーを照射し、非焼結部(非焼結層)12Aの表面から基部11に至る深さまでの焼結用セラミックスを焼結して、焼結部(焼結層)16Aを形成する(図3(3)参照)。この第2工程では、上記のレーザーの照射方法(レーザーの種類、波長、照射条件等)を適用することができ、積層物10Aを固定した状態で、レーザーをスキャンさせながら若しくは光拡散レンズを介して光路を変化させながら照射する、又は、積層物10Aを移動させながら、光路を固定したレーザーを照射する方法とすることができる。尚、第2工程を行った直後において、図3(3)における非焼結部13Aの表面には、炭素粉末含有層(図3(2)における領域R1の周縁の炭素粉末含有層)が残存するが、図3(3)においては、この表示を省略している。
次に、図3(3)の焼結物を第3工程に供し、この焼結物における少なくとも焼結部(焼結層)16Aの表面に、焼結用セラミックスからなる非焼結部(非焼結層)12Bを形成する(図3(4)参照)。この第3工程で用いる焼結用セラミックスは、非焼結部(非焼結層)12Aを構成する焼結用セラミックスと同一であってよいし、異なってもよい。この非焼結部(非焼結層)12Bは、非焼結部(非焼結層)12Aと同様にして形成することができるが、焼結用セラミックスの粒子と、分散媒とを含有するスラリーを、焼結部(焼結層)16A及び非焼結部13Bの表面に、これらを加熱した状態で、少なくとも焼結部(焼結層)16Aの表面に噴霧することにより、後に繰り返される第1工程及び第2工程による焼結時に、界面剥離等の不具合が抑制された一体化物を効率よく形成することができる。上記スラリーは、好ましくは、水又はアルコールを主とし、必要に応じて、界面活性剤を含む分散媒に焼結用セラミックス粒子を、好ましくは5~80体積%、より好ましくは10~60体積%程度の含有割合で分散させたものである。尚、スラリーを噴霧する際の焼結部(焼結層)16A及び非焼結部13Bの加熱温度は、特に限定されないが、通常、120℃~400℃である。

以下の実験では、酸化アルミニウム粒子を用いて得られた、一定体積に占める酸化アルミニウム粒子の合計体積の割合が92%である板状焼結用セラミックス(20mm×20mm×300μm)を用いた。
板状焼結用セラミックスの真上にNd:YAGレーザーの光源を配置し、光源から、波長1064nm、出力450Wのレーザーを、板状焼結用セラミックスにおけるビーム径が5mmとなるように照射した。レーザーの照射を1分間行い、得られた焼結物の断面の表層部をSEM観察したところ、焼結部の断面方向の深さ(図6の矢印部分の長さ)約100μmまで粒子の結合が見られたが、結合した粒子の割合は、表面から5μm程度の深さでは60%程度、表面から50μmの深さでは30%程度、表面から100μmの深さでは5%程度となって、深くなるにつれて減少し、緻密な焼結層は形成されなかった(図6参照)。
板状焼結用セラミックスの表面に、日本船舶工具有限会社製エアゾール乾性黒鉛皮膜形成潤滑剤「DGFスプレー」(商品名)の吹き付けを約1秒間行った。その後、これを、30秒間放置して、厚さが約5μmの炭素粉末含有層を備える積層物を得た。
次に、積層物を、ヒーター機能を有するステンレス製ステージに載置して、炭素粉末含有層の表面温度が500℃となるまで加熱した。そして、炭素粉末含有層の表面の同一位置に、波長1064nm、出力50Wのレーザーを10秒間照射した。このとき、炭素粉末含有層におけるビーム径を5mmとした。得られた焼結物の表面及びその拡大部のSEM画像を、それぞれ、図7及び図8に示す。これらの図によれば、十分に焼結されたことが分かる。
また、得られた焼結物における両面側(レーザーの照射面側及び非照射面側)の表層部のSEM画像を、それぞれ、図9及び図10に示す。図10は、非照射面側表層部を示す画像であり、焼結されていることから、10秒間で少なくとも300μmの深さにまでレーザーのエネルギーが到達したことが分かる。また、図11は、図9の点線包囲部の拡大画像であり、十分に焼結されたことが分かる。
Nd:YAGレーザーの出力を150Wとし、炭素粉末含有層におけるビーム径を10mmとした以外は、実施例1-1と同様の操作を行った。この実施例1-2におけるレーザー密度は、実施例1-1におけるそれの75%である。
得られた焼結物の表面のSEM画像を、図12に示す。図12によれば、十分に焼結されたことが分かる。
また、得られた焼結物の表層部のSEM画像を、図13に示す。図13によれば、断面方向の長さ(深さ)約50μmの部分において、焼結されていることが分かる。
実施例1-1で得られた酸化アルミニウム焼結板を、ヒーター機能を有するステンレス製ステージに載置し、上面側表面の温度が350℃となるまで加熱した。次いで、上面側表面に、平均粒径0.5μmの酸化アルミニウム粒子を30体積%含有する水分散体(スラリー)を噴霧して、厚さが約100μmの非焼結層を形成させた。その後、この非焼結層の表面に、上記「DGFスプレー」(商品名)の吹き付けを約1秒間行った。そして、これを、30秒間放置して、厚さが約5μmの炭素粉末含有層を備える積層物を得た。
次に、炭素粉末含有層の表面の同一位置に、波長1064nm、出力80Wのレーザーを10秒間照射し(炭素粉末含有層におけるビーム径:5mm)、非焼結層を焼結させ、積層焼結物を得た。得られた積層焼結物の積層界面のSEM画像を、図14に示す。この図14によれば、界面を特定しにくいほど、十分に一体化されたことが分かる。
実施例2-1
不均一形状であり、且つ、平均粒子径が0.5μmである酸化アルミニウム粒子、及び、界面活性剤の水溶液を、撹拌混合してスラリーを調製した。このスラリーに含まれる酸化アルミニウム粒子及び界面活性剤の含有量は、それぞれ、30体積%及び0.1体積%である。
次に、図15に示す要領で、赤外線加熱により表面温度を350℃とした酸化アルミニウム焼結体からなる板状基材(20mm×20mm×2mm)の表面全体に、1.4mLの上記スラリーを、板状基材の全面に噴霧し、厚さが約100μmの酸化アルミニウム膜を得た。膜厚のばらつきは見られなかった。
得られた酸化アルミニウム膜の断面を、SEMにより観察したところ、図17に示すように、全体に渡って、酸化アルミニウム粒子が高密度で膜を形成していることが分かる。尚、かさ密度法により、酸化アルミニウム粒子の充填密度を測定したところ、88%であった。
実施例3-1
不均一形状であり、且つ、平均粒子径が0.5μmである酸化アルミニウム粒子と、水にポリビニルアルコールを溶解させた水溶液とを混合して、スラリーを調製した。このスラリーに含まれる酸化アルミニウム粒子及びポリビニルアルコールの含有割合は、それぞれ、55体積%及び4体積%である。
次に、上記スラリーを、酸化アルミニウム焼結体からなる板状基材(20mm×20mm×2mm)の表面に滴下し、ドクターブレードを用いて板状基材の全面に塗布することにより、厚さ0.5mmの塗膜付き基材を得た。そして、この塗膜付き基材を、大気中、20℃で10分間静置した。
その後、上記塗膜付き基材を、予め、赤外線加熱により表面温度を500℃とした板状ステンレスヒーターであって、中央に高さ1.2mm、直径2mmの半球状の突起が形成されたステンレスヒーター70の突起の上に載置し、基材75の下面の局部的加熱を10分間行い、塗膜80の脱脂を行った(図19参照)。これにより、厚さが約300μmの酸化アルミニウム膜を得た。膜厚のばらつきは見られなかった。
得られた酸化アルミニウム膜の平面及び断面を、SEMにより観察した。平面画像である図21によれば、変形及び割れがないことが分かる。また、破断面を作製した後の断面画像である図22によれば、全体に渡って、酸化アルミニウム粒子が高密度で膜を形成していることが分かる。尚、かさ密度法により、酸化アルミニウム粒子の充填密度を測定したところ、92%であった。
酸化アルミニウム焼結体からなる板状基材のサイズを、50mm×50mm×1mmとし、塗膜厚さを0.3mmとした以外は、実施例3-1と同じ操作を行って、厚さが約185μmの酸化アルミニウム膜を得た。
図23に示すように、得られた酸化アルミニウム膜には、変形及び割れが見られず、また、膜厚のばらつきは見られなかった。また、かさ密度法により、酸化アルミニウム粒子の充填密度を測定したところ、91%であった。
実施例3-1と同様にして作製した塗膜付き基材を、マッフル炉の中に配置した耐熱レンガの上に載置した。そして、大気中、80℃で2時間、次いで、500℃で2時間の加熱を行った。これにより、平均厚さが約300μmの酸化アルミニウム膜を得た。
得られた酸化アルミニウム膜は、図24に示すように、割れており、また、厚さ方向に変形を生じていた。
