Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for producing aluminum oxynitride, and more particularly to a method for producing polycrystalline aluminum oxynitride with improved transparency.
- Polycrystalline ceramics are generally opaque. This is because light is scattered under the influence of pores, grain boundaries or impurities. However, removing these light scattering factors can make them transparent as in single crystals.
- the most well known light-transmissive alumina is sintered with high-purity powder to almost eliminate pores and the grain size is increased so that the grain boundary is reduced.
- the crystal phase is an hexagonal phase showing anisotropy, the transmission of light is influenced by the direction of the crystal grains, and thus it is not transparent like glass but has transparency.
- Aluminum oxynitride (Al 23 O 27 N 5 ) is commonly referred to as "AlON".
- AlON Aluminum oxynitride
- ⁇ -AlON is an isotropic cubic phase and is known to be a unique material that can be transparent because of its sinterability and easy pore removal. have.
- the pores in the aluminum oxynitride ceramics which are the biggest factor for lowering the transmittance, should be removed as much as possible, which can also alleviate the decrease in transmittance due to the increase in thickness.
- 4,241,000 is the first of its kind for a material that mixes Al 2 O 3 and AlN powder, heat-treat at 1200 ° C for 24 hours in a nitrogen gas atmosphere, and then sinter at 1800 ° C or above to produce light-transmitting polycrystalline aluminum oxynitride.
- Disclosed is a method of manufacturing.
- U.S. Patent No. 4,520,116 calcinates AlN and Al 2 O 3 powders, synthesizes aluminum oxynitride powder, and adds a boron (B) compound, yttrium (Y) compound, or lanthanum (La) compound to the sintering aid. A small amount was added to prepare a polycrystal having a relative density of 99% or more and a visible light transmittance of 43% with a thickness of 1.78 mm.
- US Pat. Nos. 4,481,300 and 4,686,070 add an yttrium (Y) compound or a lanthanum (La) compound as a sintering accelerator, but in the manufacturing process, Al 2 O 3 powder and carbon black powder are mixed at an appropriate ratio to 1600 It is calcined at a temperature of about °C and made of Al 2 O 3 and AlN, and then heat treated at a temperature of about 1800 °C in a boron nitride (BN) vessel is synthesized into aluminum oxynitride and ball milled for a long time to fine acid
- BN boron nitride
- a method of manufacturing aluminum oxynitride having an infrared transmittance of 80% at a thickness of 1.45 mm by forming a powder of aluminum nitride and molding the powder under atmospheric pressure in a nitrogen gas atmosphere at 1900 to 2140 ° C. for 24 to 48 hours is disclosed. .
- U.S. Patent No. 4,720,362 discloses a manufacturing process of adding a boron (B) compound or yttrium (Y) compound to an aluminum oxynitride powder within 0.5% by weight and molding to sinter 20 to 100 hours at 1900 ° C or more.
- Boron compound B 2 O 3 and yttrium compound Y 2 O 3 added as sintering additives form a liquid phase during sintering to promote densification in the early and middle stages of sintering, and in the final stages, solid drag or precipitated secondary It is disclosed that phase pinning grain boundaries prevents abnormal grain growth and thus prevents pores from entering the mouth and no longer being removed.
- U. S. Patent No. 5,231, 062 also discloses a process for preparing transparent aluminum magnesium oxynitride (AlMgON) by adding 2.0 to 16 weight percent MgO.
- U. S. Patent No. 5,688, 730 discloses a method for producing aluminum oxynitride powder by reacting Al 2 O 3 and AlN powder having a high specific surface area.
- US Pat. No. 6,955,798 discloses an aluminum oxynitride powder by heat-treating a mixture of aluminum and aluminum oxide powder in a nitrogen gas atmosphere to form a mixture of aluminum nitride and aluminum oxide, milling it, and then reheating it at a sufficiently high temperature. A method of doing this is disclosed.
- U.S. Patent No. 7,045,091 discloses a mixture of Al 2 O 3 and AlN in a solid phase and a liquid phase instead of first synthesizing and sintering aluminum oxynitride powder, which has been conventionally mainly used to produce transparent aluminum oxynitride. It discloses a method for producing transparent aluminum oxynitride, characterized in that after sintering with the aid of the liquid phase at a temperature of 1950 °C to 2025 °C re-sintering at a temperature at least 50 °C lower than this only exists solid state to change the liquid phase to a solid phase
- the visible light transmittance of the 1 mm thick aluminum oxynitride thus prepared was only more than 10%.
- US Pat. No. 7,163,656 discloses a manufacturing method comprising the step of using uniaxial hot pressing to produce high density AlON regardless of transparency.
- Uniaxial high pressure sintering is a method used for sintering a material which is hard to densify due to low theoretical sintering or low sintering properties, but the shape after sintering due to uniaxial pressure is greatly limited, and productivity is low and cost is high.
- the graphite mold is used for pressurization, in case of AlON, the color is often black and there is a limit in manufacturing a transparent product.
- AlON begins to evaporate at temperatures above 1950 ° C. It is well known that evaporation during high temperature sintering is possible to be reduced as much as possible, and it is well known that AlON can easily suppress evaporation even with a low nitrogen gas pressure of 0.1 MPa to 0.3 MPa. This is a process with little increase in cost, in which an overpressure of only 1 atm to 3 atm is applied in an electric furnace in general atmospheric sintering performed in a flowing nitrogen gas atmosphere. In addition, as a process that can greatly increase the gas pressure up to about 10 MPa, a special pressure electric furnace can be used, which is called a gas pressure sintering (GPS), but the gas pressure sintering furnace is used, but the cost is increased and productivity is lowered. .
- GPS gas pressure sintering
- oxynitride made from a prior art ceramic is, Al 2 O 3 to react into the carbon powder in the appropriate ratio to or hayeoseo AlN and Al 2 O by heating a 3 powder at a high temperature synthesis the acid aluminum nitride powder separately Since the manufacturing process is used, the cost is high, and since the sintering is performed at a high temperature of 2000 ° C. or higher in order to increase the transparency, or the long-term sintering is performed at a temperature below that, the cost is further increased.
- aluminum oxynitride ceramics prepared by atmospheric pressure sintering of Al 2 O 3 and AlN powders have difficulty in obtaining high transparency.
- the chemical formula of aluminum oxynitride is generally denoted as Al 23 O 27 N 5 , but it is nonstoichiometric which may have a relatively wide range of N, which is an aluminum oxynitride single phase even if the number of N is greater than or less than 5.
- Crystals may be represented by the chemical formula of Al (64 + x) / 3 O (32-x) N x .
- the aluminum oxynitride powder is sintered through a separate process of aluminum oxynitride powder synthesis or a mixed powder in which Al 2 O 3 and AlN powders are mixed. Regardless of the case of reaction sintering, the study of visible light transmittance according to the ratio of Al 2 O 3 and AlN powder is that the value "x" in the formula Al (64 + x) / 3 O (32-x) N x is the visible light transmittance. Has not been studied.
- the present inventors to improve the light transmittance of aluminum oxynitride by improving the sinterability by appropriately adjusting the mole fraction of the raw material powder Al 2 O 3 and AlN in the production of aluminum oxynitride prepared by reaction sintering was completed.
- ceramics can be produced in a short time at lower final sintering temperatures in order to achieve the same density by enhancing the sinterability.
- the present invention has been made in order to improve the above-described prior art and to solve the problems, and an object thereof is to provide a method of manufacturing a transparent aluminum oxynitride ceramic by further removing pores of the aluminum oxynitride ceramic.
- the present invention is a method for producing a transparent polycrystalline aluminum oxynitride in which the mixture of Al 2 O 3 and AlN at atmospheric pressure reaction, the content of pure AlN is 17 to 26 mol%, the relative density is Primary sintering at 1575 ° C. to 1675 ° C. to be at least 95%; And secondary sintering at 1900 ° C. to 2050 ° C. to achieve higher relative density than the primary sintering, wherein the visible acid linear transmission of the prepared 1.5 mm thick specimen is 70% or more.
- a method for producing aluminum nitride is provided.
- the present invention almost all pores therein may be removed to provide a cubic polycrystalline aluminum oxynitride ceramic having visible light linear transmittance of 80% or more.
- the transparent polycrystalline aluminum oxynitride ceramic has high strength, hardness, and wear resistance, products such as transparent bulletproof plates, infrared sensor windows, radar domes, transparent watch windows, transparent display windows, etc., which require high strength, hardness, and wear resistance together It can be used for.
- aluminum oxynitride which is very transparent even at a relatively low sintering temperature and a short sintering time even when Al 2 O 3 and AlN powder are mixed and sintered without the need to synthesize and sinter the aluminum oxynitride powder

- the present invention is a method for producing a transparent polycrystalline aluminum oxynitride to sinter the aluminum oxynitride powder after synthesizing the aluminum oxynitride powder, x in the formula (1) showing the aluminum oxynitride powder composition is 1.9 to 3.3, sintering 0.02% to 0.5% by weight of Y as an additive 2 O 3 Or La 2 O 3 Or equivalent to its weight

- x is 1.9 to 2.4, has a small amount of ⁇ '-AlON phase in the ⁇ -AlON phase, and Vickers hardness may be 16.5 GPa or more.
- the molar ratio of nitrogen and oxygen of the aluminum oxynitride to be sintered that is, mixed Al 2 O 3 powder and AlN powder is optimized,
- the sintering additives are mixed in the preliminary sintering process.
- AlN is 17 to 26 mol%
- Al 2 O 3 is 74 to 83 mol% to determine the molar ratio of the two main raw material powder, more preferably 21 to 23 mol% molar ratio of AlN to maximize transparency Decide
- the aluminum oxynitride reacted in this manner is subjected to primary sintering at about 1650 ° C. and then secondary sintered at a temperature of 1900 ° C. or higher, and transparency is lowered unless pore is removed as much as possible in the primary sintering.
- primary sintering at about 1650 ° C.
- secondary sintered at a temperature of 1900 ° C. or higher, and transparency is lowered unless pore is removed as much as possible in the primary sintering.
- Al 2 O 3 and AlN react at a temperature of about 1675 ° C to cause a phase transformation into aluminum oxynitride.
- the sinterability of aluminum oxynitride itself is relatively
- the particles of aluminum oxynitride formed without primary sintering are already relatively large and have a large pore size, which makes it difficult to obtain high density by removing pores in subsequent final sintering.
- the larger the particles sintered in powder sintering and the larger the pore size the more difficult it is to remove pores, that is, densification.
- the mixture of Al 2 O 3 and AlN should be densified as much as possible.
- Al 2 O 3 begins to be densified at about 1500 ° C.
- aluminum nitride is densified at about 1700 ° C. or more when several wt% of the sintering additive is present. Therefore, the two mixed powders are more easily densified as the content of Al 2 O 3 having a lower sintering temperature is higher.
- aluminum oxynitride has an inverse spinel structure and may be represented by the chemical formula of Al (64 + x) / 3 ⁇ (8-x) / 3 O (32-x) N x .
- the square ( ⁇ ) means the vacancy of the Al ions, which changes according to the value of "x" which is the amount of nitrogen.
- the smaller the amount of nitrogen, i.e., the x value the higher the concentration of vacancy.
- the diffusion rate of atoms or ions may increase, thereby increasing sinterability. Therefore, the smaller the ratio of AlN to Al 2 O 3 , that is, the x value in the ⁇ -AlON phase, the higher the Al vacancies concentration, the more the sintering property can be increased, and the pores can be easily removed.
- the sinterability of the AlON phase is further increased to help densification of the aluminum oxynitride in the secondary sintering, and the small x value increases the content of Al 2 O 3 having high sinterability to the first sintering. It has been found to enhance medium densification and to quickly reduce pores to increase relative density, which results in the removal of almost all pores in secondary sintering, resulting in very high light transmittance by reducing x as much as possible.
- the actual amount of addition between the two main raw materials, Al 2 O 3 and AlN, was calculated from the value of x taking into account the amount of oxygen contained in the AlN powder due to surface oxidation (about 1% by weight) and the amount of wear of the Al 2 O 3 balls during the ball mill process. .
- 1 is a photograph taken by arranging according to the x value so that the transparency of the second sintered aluminum oxynitride ceramic specimens and the second sintered specimens after the first sintering without the primary sintering prepared as described above can be compared In the absence of primary sintering, the higher the x value, the lower the transparency was.
- FIG. 2 shows the linear transmittance of 632 nm wavelength light according to x value with or without primary sintering, and the transmittance of specimens that are only secondary sintered without primary sintering is the second through the first sintering with higher x value. It was significantly lower than the sintered specimens.
- the x value was 5.0 (35.7 mol% AlN)
- the permeability of both specimens was less than 0.5%.
- the x value decreased, the permeability of both specimens increased significantly, and the x value was 2.25 (20.0 mol%). Peaked at AlN) and decreased slightly at 2.0.
- the x value obtained the highest transmittance of 80% or higher at 2.25 and slightly lower at 2.5, but still close to 80%.
- Figure 3 is a photograph of the fracture surface of the first sintered specimen only by scanning electron microscopy, the lower the x value, that is, the smaller the content of AlN showed less pores after the first sintering and its size was smaller. This is because the composite powder of Al 2 O 3 and AlN decreases the sinterability of the composite powder as the content of AlN increases.
- the production of aluminum oxynitride starts when the temperature of the first sintering is 1650 °C, and after 10 hours at 1650 °C becomes a volume ratio of about 6 to 10%, which leads to a reduction in Al 2 O 3 and AlN.
- the aluminum oxynitride phase generated during the first sintering is slightly more formed when there is more AlN, and, like AlN, it hinders densification during the first sintering.
- the x value is large, that is, when the AlN is large, Al 2 O 3 and AlN composite powder
- the inferior sinterability in primary sintering does not change.
- the temperature of primary sintering was higher than 1675 ° C, a large amount of aluminum oxynitride phase was rapidly generated during sintering, which made it difficult to densify, thus the transparency was lowered even after secondary sintering.
- Figure 4 shows the relative density that changes depending on the x value of the first sintered specimens, such as the specimen of Figure 2, when the x value is greater than 2.5 appeared to significantly decrease the relative density, such a primary sintered density Then affects the sintering density or porosity after the second sintering.
- the highest transmittance at the x value of 2.25 to 2.5 has high density, that is, small porosity and small porosity in the first sintering as described above, and these small pores could be almost eliminated in the second sintering. Because.
- x values of 3.0 and especially 3.5 or more large pores of high porosity after primary sintering were not removed during secondary sintering.
- FIG. 5 shows linear light transmittances in the wavelength range of 200 nm to 2500 nm of aluminum oxynitride specimens having different x values after the first and second sintering, and when x is 2.25 or 2.5 It showed high transmittance around 80% in almost all regions of. In particular, when the x value is greater than 2.5, the visible light transmittance decreases and greatly decreases from 3.5.
- FIG. 6 is a scanning electron microscope of fracture surfaces of aluminum oxynitride specimens subjected to primary and secondary sintering.
- x value is 2.0
- the intragranular fracture surface of the left crystal grain is uneven. This is because a phi'-AlON phase that is a secondary phase is generated at 2.25 or less.
- This secondary phase was also confirmed as an x-ray diffraction pattern, which caused a slight decrease in transmittance when the x value in FIG. 3 was 2.0.
- Secondary phase was also found at 2.25 x, but it had higher sinterability than 2.5, resulting in the highest light transmittance at 2.25.
- Specimens were prepared by primary sintering in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the temperature was changed from 1600 ° C to 1725 ° C.
- phase transformation occurred so quickly that densification was not performed well and many pores remained. Therefore, it is important to perform primary sintering to increase the relative density as possible, i.e., remove pores, before too much phase transformation occurs, that is, when a large amount of Al 2 O 3 remains.
- Al 2 O 3 phase remains almost after 10 hours at 1600 °C to 1625 °C, but sintering will be relatively slow due to the low temperature, so at this temperature, the first sintering should be done for a relatively longer time to remove pores .
- the primary sintering temperature was 1640 ° C., the holding time was varied from 1 to 10 hours, and in Example 1 except that both MgO and Y 2 O 3 were included or only Y 2 O 3 was included as the sintering additive.
- Aluminum oxynitride ceramic specimens were prepared by the same method as described above.
- FIG. 9 shows the fracture surface microstructure after primary sintering as the x value was 2.5 and the primary sintering retention time of specimens containing both MgO and Y 2 O 3 changed from 1 hour to 10 hours.
- the holding time was short, the porosity was high and the relative density continued to increase up to 10 hours. Therefore, sufficient retention of 10 hours is required to obtain a high relative density at this primary sintering temperature.
- the 10 is in accordance with that according to the x value, and includes the MgO as sintering additives, illustrates the 632 nm wavelength light linear transmittance that varies in accordance with the holding time in the primary sintering, the specimen of MgO is included as are Y 2 O 3 man The transmittance was always higher than the included specimens, and as the specimens containing both Y 2 O 3 , the transmittance increased significantly as the x value decreased from 4.5 to 2.5.
- the x value is 2.5 (21.7 mol% AlN), while the content of Al 2 O 3 during the first sintering is high, so that the higher the relative density after the first sintering with high sintering property, the higher the light transmittance is obtained.
- Y 2 O 3 as a sintering additive was carried out except that the amount of MgO was changed from 0 to 0.5% by weight, including 0.08% by weight, and the first sintering was carried out at 1650 ° C for 10 hours, and the x value was fixed at 2.5.
- aluminum oxynitride ceramic specimens prepared through the first sintering and the second sintering were prepared.
- FIG. 11 shows linear light transmittance in the wavelength range of 200 to 2500 nm, which varies depending on the amount of MgO added
- FIG. 12 shows the tendency of transmittance according to the amount of MgO added.
- the proportion of MgO-free specimens was 78.9%.
- the addition of MgO at 0.05% by weight showed a very slight increase of 79.3%, and the highest permeability was 83.0% when added at 0.15% by weight.
- the transmittance was significantly reduced at 0.3% by weight, and at 0.5% by weight, the transmittance was significantly lower than that of the specimen without MgO added at all.
- solubility limit for aluminum oxynitride of Mg is known to be more than 4000 ppm at 1870 ° C (Solubility Limits of La and Y in Aluminum Oxynitride at 1870 ° C, J. Am. Ceram. Soc., 91 [5] (2008)) Therefore, starting at 0.5% by weight may exceed the employment limit.
- MgO appears only within the Mg solid solubility limit of aluminum oxynitride, because it is generally possible to reduce the sinterability or permeability if the secondary phase precipitates out of the solubility limit.
- the role of MgO in AlON sintering within this solid solution limit may be similar to the MgO effect, which prevents abnormal grain growth at the last stage of Al 2 O 3 sintering, allowing the removal of pores. Therefore, the addition of MgO is thought to be effective in continuously removing the pores in the second sintering, that is, the grain growth occurs quickly in AlON phase where the relative density is already well over 95%.
- the aluminum oxynitride ceramic specimens subjected to the primary sintering were prepared in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the secondary sintering was performed for 5 hours at 1970 ° C. with increasing time.
- FIG. 13 shows the linear transmittance of 632 nm wavelength light according to the x value of the aluminum oxynitride ceramic specimens prepared as described above.
- FIG. 2 also shows that the second sintering is performed after the first sintering but the second sintering time is short for 2 hours. This is shown in comparison with the transmittance. Longer secondary sintering time not only results in smaller or less pores, but also more grain growth, resulting in increased light transmission with less light scattering at grain boundaries. Therefore, the 5 hour specimens were generally more permeable than the 2 hour specimens.
- the permeability according to the x value showed the same tendency, showing the highest permeability when 2.25 and 2.5, except that 2.5 specimens had higher permeability than 2.25 specimens when the final sintering was 5 hours. This may be due to the larger ⁇ '-AlON secondary phase created on the 2.25 specimen.
- FIG. 14 shows Vickers hardness and average grain size measured at a load of 2.94 N for such specimens.
- the x value of 2.5 is similar to the Vickers hardness of AlON, known as 16.1 GPa, but as the x value decreases, it greatly increases from 2.25 to 17.7 GPa and from 2.0 to 17.9 GPa. This may be due to the ⁇ '-AlON secondary phase where x is generated from 2.25.
- the hardness is slightly increased even if the x value is greater than 2.5, it is estimated to increase due to the smaller grain size, and the transparency may decrease greatly with the final sintering temperature and time.
- AlON having a very low x value of 2.25 can be a useful transparent ceramic having high hardness or wear resistance while having a high transparency of 81% or more.
- ⁇ ' -AlON secondary phase is produced and hardness is improved.
- the first sintering was carried out at 1650 ° C. for 10 hours and the second sintering was carried out at 1950 ° C. for 7 hours or 20 hours, except that the x value was fixed at 2.5 and the thickness of the specimen was changed from 0.75 mm to 5 mm.
- Aluminum oxynitride ceramic specimens were subjected to primary sintering and secondary sintering in the same manner as in Example 1.
- FIG. 15 shows the linear transmittance of 632 nm wavelength light which varies with the thickness of the specimen from 0.75 mm to 5 mm, indicating that the transmittance increases as the thickness is thinner.
- the transmittance was found to exceed 80% up to about 2 mm.
- the final sintering temperature or the sintering time could be increased.
- the thickness increases, the number of pores in which light is scattered increases, and the increase in the number of polycrystalline grains in which light meets and scatters becomes the main cause of the decrease in transmittance.
- Increasing the final sintering temperature or increasing the sintering time increases the permeability, which decreases the porosity, but also results in more grain growth resulting in less grain boundaries.
- the first sintering is applied to produce a transparent aluminum oxynitride by the reaction sintering of Al 2 O 3 and AlN mixed powder, but the importance of a small x value of about 2.5 is not only the reaction sintering of Al 2 O 3 and AlN mixed powder Synthesis of AlON powder and sintering it can also be very helpful.
- the AlON phase is formed in a state containing a large number of pores that are not densified well because the temperature is rapidly increased to 600 ° C. per hour, and the sintering temperature is higher than 1900 ° C. This is similar to sintering AlON specimens without the effect of primary sintering.
- the light transmittances of the specimens sintered without primary sintering are shown according to the x value. That is, the transmittance obtained by the sintering of the AlON phase showed the same tendency as the second sintering of the Al 2 O 3 and AlN mixed powder having a relative density of about 95% through primary sintering.
- the x value decreased to 2.5, the transmittance increased greatly, and decreased to 5.0. From these results, the low x value will have the effect of promoting the sintering or densification as in the reaction sintering of Al 2 O 3 and AlN mixed powder even if the AlON powder is synthesized and sintered, thus removing pores more easily The result will be a greatly improved transmission.
- x value is to enhance the densification of Al 2 O 3 and AlN composite in the first sintering, as described in detail above, While there are two different effects in which the sinterability is enhanced by increasing the vacancy of Al cations in AlON in the second sintering, the production of aluminum oxynitride by synthesizing AlON powders to produce powder gives rise to the increase of sinterability. There is only one effect. However, even with this second effect alone, in view of the transmittance tendency obtained by sintering without the first sintering of FIG. 2 as described above, the influence is very large, and the low x value is an oxynitride produced by sintering using the synthesized AlON powder. It is easy to expect that the permeability of aluminum will also be greatly improved.
- the effect of MgO as a small amount of sintering additive is also expected to bring great permeability enhancement even when producing aluminum oxynitride through sintering using the synthesized AlON powder as described above.
- International Publication No. 08/047955 when aluminum oxynitride was prepared by reaction sintering Al 2 O 3 and AlN mixed powder having a fixed AlN composition of 35 mol%, 5 hours at 2000 ° C. without first sintering.
- the transmittance in visible light of the final sintered specimens also varied dramatically with the amount of MgO added.
- the transmittance was greatly changed to 0.2%, 3.2%, 63.1%, 28.7%, and 2.5%.
- the amount of MgO added increased from 0.05% by weight to 0.1% by weight, the transmittance increased vertically from opaque 3.2% to relatively transparent 63.1% and dropped to 0.3% by increasing 0.3% by weight.
- the MgO effect was shown to be effective in all ranges of 2.5 to 4.5 regardless of the x value. Therefore, it can be easily expected that the dramatic permeability enhancement effect of MgO in the second sintering will be the same even when the aluminum oxynitride is prepared through sintering using the synthesized AlON powder.
