Description

  The present invention relates to a method for producing a ceramic joined body, and more particularly to a method for producing a ceramic joined body for forming a ceramic joined body by joining ceramic formed bodies.

  In recent years, the development of ceramics on components of apparatus and devices that are required to be lightweight, heat resistant, and corrosion resistant has been advanced. Applications where ceramics are put into practical use include bearings and engine parts. However, most of the members made of ceramics used for bearings, engine parts and the like are balls, rollers, ring materials, and the like that have a relatively simple shape. In the future, if complex shapes or large ceramic members can be manufactured, the use is expected to expand further.

  As a method of forming the ceramic powder into a desired shape, various forming methods are adopted depending on the desired shape and the intended use of the product. Examples of the molding method include a mold press method, an injection molding method, an extrusion molding method, and a casting molding method. However, there is a limit to the shape or size that can be manufactured due to manufacturing restrictions. As another forming method, there is a method in which parts manufactured as a sintered product using ceramic powder are joined by brazing or an adhesive. However, in this method, there is a possibility that the strength of the joint portion is reduced due to insufficient strength of the joining agent itself or a difference in thermal expansion coefficient between the base material and the joining agent.

  Further, a method having the following steps has been proposed as a method for manufacturing a ceramic member having a complicated shape. First, a part having a simple shape is produced by dividing the whole into a plurality of parts. A ceramic member is formed in a predetermined shape by combining and joining parts having simple shapes. Then, the ceramic member is sintered. In this way, a ceramic member having a complicated shape is manufactured.

  As the above method, for example, in JP-A-2-236205 (Patent Document 1), a plurality of molded bodies are joined via a slurry composed of a powder material that generates a liquid phase during sintering, a polymer binder, and a solvent. In this state, a method of joining a plurality of molded bodies by sintering a powder material has been proposed. Since this method is only bonding and no pressure treatment is applied, the strength of the bonded portion after sintering is reduced.

  Further, for example, in JP-A-5-254947 (Patent Document 2) and JP-A-2002-254420 (Patent Document 3), the molded bodies are mutually connected via a slurry having the same composition or main components as the molded bodies. Has been proposed which is sintered in a state in which is bonded by pressing or CIP (cold isostatic pressing) molding. In the method described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5-254947, cold isostatic pressing for bonding molded bodies to each other is performed under a molding pressure of each molded body. Moreover, in the method described in Unexamined-Japanese-Patent No. 2002-254420, the molded object is joined by pressurization, without using cold isostatic pressing. In the methods described in JP-A-5-254947 and JP-A-2002-254420, since the molded bodies are bonded to each other through a slurry having the same composition or the same main component, the strength of the bonded portion is increased. It is expected to have a strength close to that of the molded body as the base material.

JP-A-2-236205 JP-A-5-254947 JP 2002-254420 A

  However, there are the following problems even when the molded bodies are joined to each other via a slurry having the same composition or the same main component, so that the strength of the joint is close to that of the molded body as the base material. In other words, when the compacts are joined to each other at a molding pressure equal to or lower than the compacting pressure, even if the compacts are formed of the same material, due to the difference in sintering shrinkage depending on the molding method or molding conditions of each joined member, There is a problem that cracks or peeling occurs in the joint after sintering.

  This invention is made | formed in view of the said subject, The objective is to provide the manufacturing method of the ceramic joined body which can suppress that a crack or peeling arises in the junction part after sintering.

  The method for manufacturing a ceramic joined body according to the present invention includes a step of individually molding the first and second ceramic molded bodies made of the same kind of material, and isotropic pressure molding of the first and second ceramic molded bodies. The method includes a step of forming a ceramic bonded body by bonding and a step of sintering the ceramic bonded body. The respective molding pressures when molding the first and second ceramic molded bodies individually are lower than the molding pressure of isotropic pressure molding. Here, the same kind of material means a material having the same main component.

  The inventors set the molding pressure when molding a plurality of ceramic molded bodies to be joined to a molding pressure lower than the molding pressure at the time of isotropic pressure molding for the purpose of joining, and performs joining by isotropic pressure molding. As a result, it has been found that cracks or delamination can be prevented from occurring at the joint or the like when the joined body formed by isostatic pressing is sintered. As a result, a complex or large-sized sintered body having substantially uniform characteristics can be obtained. That is, the molding pressure when molding a plurality of ceramic compacts to be joined is set to a molding pressure lower than the molding pressure at the time of isotropic pressure molding for the purpose of joining, so that the isotropic pressure for the purpose of joining. A plurality of ceramic molded bodies that are processed under pressure molding by molding are molded bodies that are substantially equivalent to molded bodies obtained by isotropic pressure molding for bonding purposes. As a result, the entire bonded body has a substantially uniform pressure distribution. Since the entire joined body has a uniform pressure distribution, the shrinkage characteristics during sintering are also uniform. Therefore, it can suppress that a crack or peeling arises in a junction part etc. when sintering. As a result, it is possible to obtain a sintered body having a complex shape or a large shape having substantially the same physical properties including the joint portion.

  According to the method for producing a ceramic joined body of the present invention, a ceramic joined body is formed by joining the first and second ceramic compacts using isotropic pressure molding, and the first and second ceramic compacts are obtained. Each of the molding pressures at the time of molding each is lower than the molding pressure of isotropic pressure molding. For this reason, the 1st and 2nd ceramic compact is joined by the forming pressure in the case of isotropic pressure forming by isotropic pressure forming. As a result, the entire ceramic joined body is molded at a molding pressure reached by isostatic pressing. Therefore, since the entire ceramic joined body has a uniform pressure distribution, the shrinkage characteristics during sintering are also uniform. Therefore, it can suppress that a crack or peeling arises in a junction part etc. when sintering.

  Preferably, in the above method for manufacturing a ceramic joined body, each of the molding pressures when the first and second ceramic molded bodies are individually molded is 5 MPa or more, and 2/3 of the molding pressure of isotropic pressure molding. It is as follows. The respective molding pressures when the first and second ceramic molded bodies are individually molded may be lower in principle than the molding pressure at the isotropic pressure molding for the purpose of joining. However, if the molding pressure when molding the first and second ceramic molded bodies individually exceeds 2/3 of the molding pressure at the isotropic pressure molding, isotropic pressure molding for the purpose of joining is performed. The effect of correcting to a molded body equivalent to the obtained molded body is hardly obtained. As a result, the shrinkage characteristics of the ceramic joined body during sintering in the joint portion are not uniform, resulting in a decrease in strength in the joint portion. Therefore, the isotropic pressure for the purpose of joining is obtained by setting the molding pressure when molding the first and second ceramic molded bodies individually to 2/3 or less of the molding pressure at the isotropic pressure molding. The effect of correcting to a molded body equivalent to the molded body obtained by molding can be reliably obtained.

  In addition, if the molding pressure when molding the first and second ceramic compacts individually is less than 5 MPa, it is difficult or impossible to retain the shape of each compact. There is a possibility of breakage during isostatic pressing for the purpose of joining. Therefore, each of the first and second ceramic molded bodies can be easily retained by setting the respective molding pressures when individually molding the first and second ceramic molded bodies to 5 MPa or more. . Moreover, it can suppress that the 1st and 2nd ceramic molded object is damaged at the time of isotropic pressure forming.

  Preferably, in the method for manufacturing a ceramic joined body, a difference in molding pressure between the first and second ceramic compacts when the first and second ceramic compacts are individually molded is within 10%. . By making the molding pressures when molding the first and second ceramic compacts substantially the same, the ceramic joint obtained by isotropic pressure molding for joining has a large step at the joint. Thus, a molded body having a substantially uniform pressure distribution is obtained. And also in the sintered compact which sintered the ceramic joined body, generation | occurrence | production of the strength reduction of a junction part can be suppressed. When the difference in molding pressure between the first and second ceramic molded bodies individually exceeds 10%, the first and second ceramic molded bodies are formed during isotropic pressure molding for the purpose of joining. Since the shrinkage difference resulting from the molding pressure difference occurs in the joint, the strength of the joint after sintering is reduced. Therefore, the first and second ceramic molded bodies are individually molded, so that the difference in molding pressure between the first and second ceramic molded bodies is within 10%. Since the shrinkage difference generated in the joint due to the molding pressure difference of the second ceramic molded body can be suppressed, a decrease in strength of the joint after sintering can be suppressed.

  In the method for manufacturing a ceramic joined body, preferably, the first and second ceramic formed bodies include either oxide ceramics or non-oxide ceramics. Thereby, either oxide ceramics or non-oxide ceramics can be applied to the material of the first and second ceramic molded bodies.

  Preferably, in the above method for manufacturing a ceramic joined body, the main components of the first and second ceramic compacts are the same, and the first and second ceramic compacts are molded at the same molding pressure. The sintered shrinkage rate under the same sintering conditions of the molded first and second ceramic molded bodies is the same. Here, the main component means a component having the largest content ratio. Further, the same sintering shrinkage means not only that the sintering shrinkage is exactly the same, but also the same. Equivalent sintering shrinkage means that the difference in sintering shrinkage is less than 5%. Thereby, even if additive materials, such as a sintering auxiliary agent and a dispersion reinforcement, differ a little, the ceramic joined body which can suppress that a crack or peeling arises in a junction part etc. at the time of sintering can be obtained.

  Preferably, in the above-described method for manufacturing a ceramic joined body, the steps of individually forming the first and second ceramic compacts include a die press, a uniaxial rubber press, a cold isostatic press, extrusion molding, injection molding, and A step of forming at least one of the first and second ceramic molded bodies by one or more selected from the group consisting of slip casting. Thereby, a wide shaping | molding method is employable when shape | molding the 1st and 2nd ceramic molded object separately. Further, the first and second ceramic molded bodies can be molded by different molding techniques.

  In the above method for producing a ceramic joined body, preferably, the first and second ceramic molded bodies are bonded together with a bonding material in the isostatic pressing. Since the first and second ceramic molded bodies are bonded to each other with a bonding material, the first and second ceramic molded bodies can be accurately combined.

  In the method for manufacturing a ceramic joined body, preferably, the joining material is made of a slurry having the same main component as the main components of the first and second ceramic molded bodies. Thereby, the intensity | strength of a junction part can be made into the intensity | strength equivalent to the 1st and 2nd ceramic molded object.

  In the above method for manufacturing a ceramic joined body, preferably, the isotropic pressure forming is wet cooling in which the first and second ceramic compacts are joined by pressurizing the first and second ceramic compacts with a pressurized liquid. It is isostatic pressing. Since the first and second ceramic molded bodies are pressurized with a pressurized liquid, a mold or jig matching the shape of the joined body is not necessary. Therefore, productivity can be improved.

  In the above method for manufacturing a ceramic joined body, the first and second shielding films are preferably disposed between the pressurized liquid and the first and second ceramic compacts during wet cold isostatic pressing. With the ceramic molded body covered, the first and second ceramic molded bodies are joined by pressing the first and second ceramic molded bodies with a pressurized liquid through the shielding film. For this reason, the first and second ceramic molded bodies can be protected from the pressurized liquid by the shielding film.

  Preferably, in the above method for manufacturing a ceramic joined body, the shielding film is formed in a bag shape having one end where the opening is opened, the first and second ceramic molded bodies are accommodated in the shielding film, and one end is sealed. In this state, the internal space of the shielding film is decompressed. Thereby, the shaping | molding defect by the gas enclosed by internal space and the failure | damage of a shielding film can be suppressed.

  Preferably, in the above method for producing a ceramic joined body, the shielding film is formed of a film formed by either dip coating or spraying of a material that becomes rubberized by either drying or heating. Since the coating adheres along the outer shape of the first and second ceramic molded bodies, the shielding film can be applied to a more complicated shape.

  Preferably, in the method for manufacturing a ceramic joined body, the first and second ceramic molded bodies have the first and second coatings in a state in which the joint is covered with a protective member so that the coating does not enter the joint portions of the first and second ceramic molded bodies. It is formed on the second ceramic molded body. Thereby, the penetration of the coating film into the joint can be prevented.

First, members 1 to 16 were formed under the molding conditions shown in Table 1, respectively.

For each member, silicon nitride ceramics, alumina ceramics, or zirconia ceramics were used. Silicon nitride ceramics (90 mass% Si ₃ N ₄ -5 mass% Y-5 mass% Al, 90 mass% Si ₃ N ₄ -5 mass% La-5 mass% Al) have a main component of 90 mass% Si ₃ N ₄ (silicon nitride) and the auxiliary agent is 5 mass% Y (yttrium) -5 mass% Al (aluminum) or 5 mass% La (lanthanum) -5 mass% Al. The main component of alumina ceramics (100% by mass Al ₂ O ₃ ) is 100% by mass Al ₂ O ₃ (aluminum oxide). The main component of zirconia ceramics (95 mass% ZrO ₂ -5 mass% Y) is ZrO ₂ (zirconium oxide), and the auxiliary is 5 mass% Y.

  As a molding method of each member, a die press, a uniaxial rubber press, a cold isostatic press, extrusion molding, injection molding, and slip casting were used. The molding pressure (MPa) is the molding pressure of each member. The relative pressure (%) is the ratio of the molding pressure of each member to the pressure (300 MPa) of isotropic pressure molding at the time of joining described later. Whether or not molding is possible indicates that each member could be molded, and × indicates that each member could not be molded. The member 1 could not be molded because of a low molding density. On the other hand, members 2 to 16 could be molded.

  Next, the test piece will be described. For comparison, a test piece integrally formed by cold isostatic pressing (CIP) was prepared for comparison with reference to FIG. Test pieces were prepared using silicon nitride ceramics, alumina ceramics, and zirconia ceramics, respectively. The dimensions of the test piece were 3 mm long × 4 mm wide × 40 mm long.

  Next, comparative examples and examples of the present invention were created using the above-described members under the molding conditions shown in Table 2. After joining each said member by isostatic pressing, it sintered and the comparative example and the Example were created. That is, with reference to FIG. 14 and FIG. 15, the member A is the first ceramic formed body 1 and the member B is the second ceramic formed body 2. A slurry is used as the bonding material 4. The members A and B were joined through the slurry to produce a ceramic joined body 3. The dimensions of member A and member B were 3 mm long × 4 mm wide × 20 mm long, respectively.

  As a bonding method, a slurry having the same main component as the main components of the first ceramic molded body 1 and the second ceramic molded body 2 is applied, and the first ceramic molded body 1 and the second ceramic molded body 2 are applied. And glued together. A vinyl bag was used as the shielding film. The film thickness of the vinyl bag is 0.05 to 0.1 mm. The internal space of the vinyl bag was depressurized. Wet cold isostatic pressing (WET-CIP) was adopted for isostatic pressing. The pressure applied in wet cold isostatic pressing was 300 MPa. “Yes” indicates that the member A and the member B can be joined, and “x” indicates that the member A and the member B cannot be joined. The bending strength is a value obtained by measuring the bending strength of the comparative example and the example. The bending strength was measured as follows. It was measured by a ceramic three-point bending test according to JIS R1601. For comparison, the bending strength of the above test piece is 1000 MPa for the silicon nitride ceramic test piece, 500 MPa for the alumina ceramic test piece, and 500 MPa for the zirconia ceramic test piece. The joint interface step is a step generated at the joint interface between the members A and B.

  In Examples 1 to 4 in which the molding pressures of the members A and B before joining are lower than the molding pressure of isotropic pressure molding, the members A and B can be joined and the bending strength is comparable to that of the test piece integrally molded. It was. In Comparative Example 1 in which the molding pressures of the members A and B before joining were less than 5 MPa, they could not be joined because they were damaged during isotropic pressurization. Further, in Comparative Example 2 in which the molding pressures of the members A and B before joining exceeded 2/3 of the molding pressure of isotropic pressure molding, the members A and B could be joined, but the bending strength was lowered. This is because the pressure deviation and the directionality of the pressure that occur during the molding of the members A and B could not be corrected by the pressure at the time of joining, so they were joined in appearance but were not integrated. It is thought that.

  Further, in Examples 1 to 4 in which the molding pressures of the members A and B before joining were the same, the members A and B could be joined, and the bending strength was comparable to that of the integrally molded test piece. Further, the members A and B could be joined even in Example 5 in which the difference in molding pressure between the members A and B before joining was within 10%. On the other hand, in Comparative Example 3 in which the difference in molding pressure between the members A and B before joining exceeded 10%, the strength decreased at the joined portion. The reason for this is considered to be that a shrinkage difference caused at the isostatic pressing occurred in the joint.

  In Examples 1 to 7, where the main components of the members A and B are alumina and zirconia, which are oxide ceramics, and silicon nitride, which is a non-oxide ceramic, any bending strength is comparable to that of the integrally formed test piece. Became. Similar results can be obtained if the main components of members A and B are oxide ceramics such as alumina and zirconia, and non-oxide ceramics such as silicon nitride, silicon carbide and aluminum nitride.

  Further, in Comparative Examples 4 and 5 in which the main raw materials of the members A and B are different and the main components are different, the members A and B could not be joined. The reason for this is thought to be because the shrinkage characteristics of members A and B differ during sintering. Further, in Example 8 in which the auxiliary agents of the members A and B before joining were different but the main components were the same, the members A and B could be joined, and the bending strength was comparable to that of the integrally formed test piece.

  In Examples 9 to 18 in which the molding densities of the members A and B before joining are the same, a die press, a uniaxial rubber press, a cold isostatic press, extrusion molding, injection molding, slip casting The members A and B could be joined by different molding methods, and the bending strength was comparable to that of the integrally molded test piece.

  Further, there was no junction interface step in each example. On the other hand, in Comparative Examples 2 and 3, there was a bonding interface step. Further, in Comparative Examples 1, 4 and 5, which could not be joined, no step at the joining interface can occur.

  Next, the bonding method and the bending strength of the members A and B were examined with different bonding methods and shielding films. Comparative examples and examples of the present invention were prepared under the molding conditions shown in Table 3.

  As a bonding method, the members A and B were bonded with an adhesive or a slurry without a bonding material. As the shielding film, a vinyl bag or a film formed by dip coating was used. The inner space of the vinyl bag was reduced. In Example 21, the joint was sealed with a protective member. Wet cold isostatic pressing (WET-CIP) was adopted for isostatic pressing. After joining each member by isostatic pressing, it sintered and produced the comparative example and the Example. Whether or not joining is possible indicates that ◯ can join the members A and B, and × indicates that the members A and B cannot be joined.

  In Comparative Example 6 in which the members A and B were bonded without a bonding material, bonding could not be performed. In Comparative Example 7 in which the members A and B were bonded with an adhesive, the members A and B could be joined, but the bending strength was 512 MPa, which was about 50% of the integrally formed test piece. On the other hand, in Example 19 in which the slurry containing the same main component as the members A and B was applied to the joint surface, the bending strength was 998 MPa, which was comparable to that of the integrally molded test piece. The reason for this is considered to be that by using the slurry containing the same main component as the members A and B, the members and the bonding interface were integrated, and the same strength as that of the integrally molded product was obtained.

  Moreover, it was not able to join in the comparative example 8 which does not perform a pressure reduction process. The reason for this is considered to be that the vinyl bag appropriately follows each member by applying a decompression process, and the effect of uniformly pressing the entire member could not be obtained.

  In Example 20 in which the shielding films were formed by adhering the members A and B with a slurry and then immersed in a silicon rubber forming solution, they could be joined by performing WET-CIP treatment after drying (silicon rubber conversion). The bending strength was 550 MPa, which was about 50% of the integrally molded product. The reason for this is considered to be that bonding is insufficient because the silicon rubber forming solution has permeated into the bonded portion (bonded surface). The thickness of the shielding film made of silicon rubber is 0.5 to 2.0 mm. On the other hand, in Example 21 in which a sealing tape (protective member) was wound around the joining surface and immersed in the silicon rubber forming solution, joining was possible, and no joining failure was observed. This is probably because the sealing tape prevented the silicon rubber forming solution from penetrating into the sample.
