Background technology
Spinning nozzle is mounted in an important precision component on the man-made fiber spinning-drawing machine spinning part, it also is the base components of spinning moulding, be densely covered with the accurate trumpet type micropore of thousands of diameter Ф 0.05~0.1mm on it, spinning solution becomes silk after the micropore ejection.The quality of spinning nozzle performance directly has influence on the quality and the many index such as cost of labour productivity, silk.
Material to spinning nozzle requires to have: a) erosion resistance requires acidproof, the alkali proof corrosion of energy; B) favorable mechanical processing characteristics; C) enough mechanical and physical performance, indeformable as intensity, hardness to guarantee under the operating pressure of spinning, be unlikely being scratched in the operating process, destroy the micropore shape; D) cheap.Before more than ten years, people replace golden platinum to make spinning nozzle with tantalum gradually, tantalum has fabulous acid corrosion-resistant performance, good precision sizing performance, price only is 1/5th of a gold, the weak point of tantalum is that hardness is low, and the alkali corrosion resistance poor-performing is so people seek to cover the shortage by surface treatment always.
All surface treatment methods are all based on the extremely active chemical property of tantalum, Ta
2O
5Free energy of formation Δ F298 be-1896.5~-1908.2KJ/mol, and the Δ F298 of TaN is-218.2KJ/mo1.As seen, under field conditions (factors), tantalum has very strong spontaneous generation oxide compound, the tendency of nitride.The tendency that generates oxide compound is bigger.Select certain surface treatment method only reaction process to be selected, thereby select satisfactory surface strengthen layer, as hardness, chemical stability, surfaceness, size and change of shape etc.
Existing surface treatment method can be divided into two classes by the treatment media classification: a class is to handle in liquid medium, one class is to handle in gaseous media, whether making alive also can be divided into two classes by workpiece in the surface treatment process, but handles all making alives of great majority now, sees table one for details.
The concrete surface intensified technique kind of report is more at present, is summarized as follows:
1, in containing the lithium fused salt, carries out anodizing, make its surface form lithium tantalate.
2, anodizing in sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, oxalic acid generates tantalum pentoxide film.
3, in oxygen, nitrogen, carbon monoxide or propane and argon gas, carry out air-breathing or carburizing treatment.
4, with the method for explosive welding stainless steel or pure tantalum and tantalum alloy are combined together to form spinning jet, in nitrogen, handle again.
5, chemical Vapor deposition process depositing TiN;
6, surface ion injects nitrogen.
In the aforesaid method, real in market possession share have only first kind:
The classification of table one treatment process
The defective of aforesaid method is the processing cost height, the surfaceness height, treatment process is many, as anodizing must carry out earlier electrochemical treatment enlarge the aperture to remedy since the aperture that causes of surface treatment dwindle; And the ion in ion implantation moves in high vacuum again with the acceleration of highfield, and mutually probability of collision is less, and its motion is unidimensional basically, thereby its injection can only carry out in one direction, is not suitable for the surface treatment of spinning nozzle.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to overcome the existing existing defective of process for treating surface, provide a kind of cost very cheap, shape, the dimensional change of handling the back spinning nozzle are little, and surfaceness is low, treatment process is few, the surface Hardening Treatment technology that is applicable to tantalum spinneret that influence factor is few.
Task of the present invention is finished in the following manner, promptly carries out tantalum surface and strengthen in the argon-arc plasma field of hydrogen, nitrogen and other gas.Specifically, the tantalum spinneret of cleaning is placed a vacuum vessel, container is evacuated to the vacuum tightness of the 1Pa order of magnitude; Add the direct current cathode voltage of 200-1000V to tantalum spinneret, and feed the mixed gas of hydrogen and nitrogen, the intrinsic standoff ratio of hydrogen, nitrogen is 4: 1-10: 1; The pumping speed of control pump makes the vacuum tightness that keeps 300-1000Pa in the vacuum vessel, forms even, stable low-temperature plasma in container; Regulate electrical parameter and vacuum tightness, the temperature of tantalum spinneret is remained between 500-900 ℃, kept 0.5-1.5 hour; Outage cooling was stopped the supple of gas or steam to time below 100 ℃, and container is opened in termination of pumping, takes out spinning nozzle.
In the present invention, except that feeding hydrogen and nitrogen, also can feed argon gas and carbonaceous gas in the vacuum vessel.
In the present invention, carbonaceous gas comprises ethanol, acetone, methane or four kinds of carbonaceous gass of acetylene.
In the present invention, processing parameter is summarized as follows the influence of tantalum spinneret:
1, temperature, temperature raise, and permeating speed is accelerated, and helps the formation of the nitride of tantalum simultaneously, and in addition, the solubility with temperature of hydrogen in tantalum raises and descend, after temperature is raised to more than 700 ℃, and elevated temperature again, it is constant that solubleness keeps; And the solubility with temperature rising of nitrogen in tantalum increases always.So elevated temperature helps the infiltration of nitrogen, stop the infiltration of hydrogen, this is favourable to spinning nozzle.But along with the rising of temperature, distortion increases, and surfaceness rises, and is subjected to the restriction of tantalum recrystallization temperature.
2, the time, time lengthening, the infiltration layer thickening, alloying layer thickness and time relation meet mathematical expression S=K * T substantially
(1/2), K is a rate constant, raising with temperature increases.In the time of 650 ℃ 15 μ m/h
(1/2)
3, gas ratio, along with hydrogen, nitrogen partial pressure than increasing, the oxide compound of the tantalum in the upper layer reduces, as H/N during greater than 9: 1, the oxide compound of tantalum disappears substantially.
4, container inner pressure, container inner pressure at first influence electrical parameter, during less than 1Pa or greater than 1500Pa, almost can not form plasma body in total pressure, and this moment, voltage power was voltage of supply, and electric current is zero.In the residing paradoxical discharge of technology of the present invention district, between 1~1500Pa, change total pressure, electric current has a maximum value, and voltage has a mnm., both change on the contrary.Along with pressure increases, the possibility that produces arc-over increases, and arc-over burns out the spinning nozzle surface easily, causes spinning nozzle to be scrapped.Secondly, the sputtering rate of pressure influence cathode surface, pressure is low, and cathode sputtering speed is big, is unfavorable for infiltrating.
5, cathodic current and voltage, both influence each other and can not regulate separately.In total pressure one regularly, both increase simultaneously or descend.As previously mentioned, when changing total pressure, both variation tendencies are opposite.The product of electric current and voltage is the total power of spinning nozzle heating.Total power is higher, and it is faster to heat up, and outlet temperature is higher.Electric current characterizes the ionic current in the plasma body, and the ionic current increase helps the enrichment that material is infiltrated on the surface, thereby increases infiltration rate; Voltage characterizes the single energy of ions in the plasma body.Energy increases, to the sputter increase on spinning nozzle surface.
The selection of process parameters principle is, the spinning nozzle operating pressure is big, and erosion resistance requires high, then adopts thick infiltration layer, promptly selects comparatively high temps, long period.Other parameters almost can be constant.
To be material exist form except that the 4th kind solid-state, liquid, the gaseous state to plasma state.In argon-arc plasma field, though integral energy is not high, single ion energy can be very high, makes the physical and chemical process that can not carry out usually under this temperature can carry out in argon-arc plasma field.As forming diamond 1000 ℃ contain in the C plasma body.The effect of ionic medium body of the present invention can be verified by following test, with an original surface roughness is that the tantalum material of Ra=0.1 μ m is placed in the vacuum, make it simultaneously be in the argon-arc plasma field, another side masks (it is not in the argon-arc plasma field), in identical temperature, atmosphere, keep the identical time, the tantalum piece two sides of so handling is analyzed, and the result is: the one side surfaceness that is in the argon-arc plasma field is 0.3 μ m, and naked eyes look almost no change of surface; And the one side surfaceness that conductively-closed is fallen is 2 μ m, does not have metalluster fully.Through the X-ray diffraction material phase analysis, the upper layer crystalline structure on two sides is also inequality.The existence of visible plasma has changed original chemical reaction, has suppressed more coarse Ta

5Generate.
The present invention is different with ion injection method, vacuum tightness that ion implantation needs are much higher and voltage, thus very high to equipment requirements, and also its injection can only be carried out in one direction, there is not unidirectional problem in the present invention, can be strengthened in all surfaces that are exposed in the plasma body.
The present invention is with respect to existing other treatment process, and tangible characteristics are exactly that processing cost is extremely cheap.As not considering the one-time investment of equipment, it is anodized 1/10th that processing cost of the present invention only is equivalent to, and facility investment is a little more than anodized equipment.
Another advantage of the present invention is that to handle shape, the dimensional change of back spinning nozzle little, do not need to resemble should carry out in advance the anodizing electrochemical treatment enlarge the aperture to remedy since the aperture that surface treatment causes dwindle.In addition, also be minimum through the surfaceness of the spinning nozzle of art breading of the present invention with respect to existing other treatment process, do not need to resemble and carry out aftertreatment the anodizing, treatment process is few, and influence factor is few, technology stability, reproducibility is all fine.The present invention does not have any environmental issue.
The surface of tantalum spinning jet hardness of handling through the present invention can reach HV500~1200, whole non-deformability is strengthened greatly, on the basis of the acid-resistant corrosion that has guaranteed the tantalum spinneret excellence, the alkali corrosion resistance of tantalum spinneret is improved greatly, make its electropotential in the NaOH aqueous solution improve an order of magnitude, erosion rate only is 1/5th of a pure tantalum, and treated tantalum spinneret has the work-ing life of better spinning quality and Geng Gao.
