Abstract

PURPOSE:To simply and inexpensively obtain a sintered silicon carbide having excellent oxidation resistance, capable of providing large-sized structural member of complicated shape for high temperature use by molding a silicon carbide raw material, calcining the molded article at high temperature in a nonoxidizing atmosphere and heat-treating the calcined material at a specific temperature in an oxidizing atmosphere. CONSTITUTION:A silicon carbide raw material having >=95% silicon carbide content is molded to give a molded article, which is calcined in a nonoxidizing atmosphere at >=2,000 deg.C and heat-treated in an oxidizing atmosphere at <=100 deg.C-<=1,500 deg.C. Oxygen concentration in the oxidizing atmosphere is preferably 1-20%. Since a uniform coating film of silicon dioxide is formed in the inner face of open pores of sintered silicon carbide by carrying out the heat treatment, even if the sintered material is used in a high-temperature oxidizing atmosphere, the sintered material is isolated from oxygen in the atmosphere and oxidation of silicon carbide in the interior of the sintered material can be prevented.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a method for producing a silicon carbide sintered body having excellent oxidation resistance and suitable for use as a high-temperature structural member.

(Prior Art) Sintered bodies of high-purity silicon carbide have high strength at high temperatures and excellent properties such as thermal conductivity and thermal shock resistance, so they are used as structural members for high temperatures. However, when a high-purity silicon carbide sintered body is used in a high-temperature oxidizing atmosphere, there is a problem in that silicon carbide and oxygen react to form silicon oxide, resulting in a decrease in strength during use.

Therefore, conventional methods have been used to densify high-purity silicon carbide powder by adding sintering aids such as boron and carbon sources, or to form and sinter fine silicon carbide powder and coarse powder to recrystallize the sintered body. By impregnating the open pores formed in this sintered body with silicon to densify it, the oxidation resistance was increased and the formation of silicon oxide was prevented.

(Function) In the above-mentioned configuration, after first performing main firing in a non-oxidizing atmosphere to obtain a sintered body, this sintered body is heat-treated at a predetermined temperature and in a predetermined atmosphere to cause carbonization. A uniform silicon dioxide coating is formed on the inner surface of the open pores of the silicon sintered body, so even when this sintered body is used in a high-temperature oxidizing atmosphere, oxygen in the atmosphere is blocked and the inside of the sintered body is The oxidation of silicon carbide can be prevented.

At temperatures below 1000'C, less silicon oxide is produced,
Silicon dioxide also has little effect because it does not vitrify and does not form a uniform film covering the inner surface of open pores.
At temperatures exceeding 00°C, the produced silicon dioxide transforms and changes in volume, causing cracks in the produced film.
Since active oxidation occurs and strength decreases, the heat treatment temperature was limited to 1000°C to 1500°C.

Further, the oxygen concentration of the oxidizing atmosphere is preferably in the range of 1 to 20%. If the oxygen concentration is less than 1%, the reaction to form a silicon dioxide film is slow, and the silicon dioxide film may not be formed in the center of the thickness of the sintered body, making it difficult to form a sufficiently uniform film. In some cases, it may not be possible to obtain 20
