The application claims priority to Chinese patent application No.2021106072179, filed on Jun. 1, 2021, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention belongs to the technical field of metalized ceramic processing, and particularly relates to an Al2O3-based ceramic welding sealing component and a preparation method thereof.
With the development of material technology, ceramic materials have been widely used. Especially in sealing mechanisms, ceramic materials are suitable for various sealing components due to their high-temperature resistance, chemical corrosion resistance and thermal conductivity. At present, the ceramic welding sealing component is composed of metalized ceramic. The ceramic materials used in the metallization process mainly include alumina, zirconia, silicon nitride, silicon carbide, tungsten carbide and composite thereof. Among them, silicon carbide ceramics are most widely used because of their excellent strength, hardness and chemical corrosion resistance. The cost performance is much higher than that of ordinary metal seals, and the service life is greatly prolonged. However, silicon nitride ceramics have low fracture toughness, i. e. high brittleness, easy fracture, and poor sealing strength with metal layers.
Aluminum oxide ceramic has the characteristics of high mechanical strength, good wear resistance and corrosion resistance, good thermal stability, large insulation resistance, and matchable expansion coefficient with the chip, and is the most common matrix material or packaging shell material in the field of microelectronic packaging. In order to provide high strength and high hermeticity to electronic devices or package shells, Al2O3 ceramics often need to be brazed with packaging metals such as various alloys. However, the common metal solder has poor wettability with the Al2O3 ceramic, so it is necessary to perform metallization on the surface of the Al2O3 ceramic. One of the most common methods is to co-burn a tungsten metallized layer on the surface, and then perform electroplating Ni or Au on the Al2O3 ceramic having the tungsten metallized layer, so that the Al2O3 ceramic and alloy can be brazed using a conventional solder such as Ag—Cu, thereby obtaining a gastight package. The traditional tungsten metallizing layer of aluminum oxide ceramic is mainly composed of tungsten powder and glass powder. This metallized layer has the disadvantages of low efficiency of space filling and high porosity, which affects the mechanical properties and service life of the ceramic metallized product. Aluminum oxide ceramics have the defects of high brittleness, low impact resistance and brittleness, which also affect the use of aluminum oxide in sealing components and reduce the service life of aluminum oxide ceramics.
The present invention provides a metallized aluminum oxide ceramic and a preparation method thereof for use on an Al2O3-based ceramic welding sealing component. The main purpose is to improve the efficiency of space filling of the sealing components, greatly improve the bending strength and fracture toughness of the sealing components, increase the tensile strength of the sealing components, and have excellent high-temperature resistance.
In order to achieve the object of the present invention, the present invention provides an Al2O3-based ceramic welding sealing component comprising a ceramic matrix and a metallized layer, wherein the ceramic matrix is prepared from the following raw materials in parts by weight: 80-90 parts of inorganic fiber-aluminum oxide 3D network matrix, 2-5 parts of yttrium oxide, 1-3 parts of silicon oxide, 2-4 parts of titanium oxide, 0.5-1.0 parts of additive, 3-5 parts of binder and 1-3 parts of dispersant, and the additive, binder and dispersant are LiYO2, polyvinyl butyral and sodium tripolyphosphate respectively;

A2, mixing: mixing silicon oxide, yttrium oxide and the additive uniformly, adding same to the inorganic fiber-aluminum oxide 3D network matrix prepared in step A1, then adding titanium oxide, the dispersant and water, and performing high-speed ball-milling for 6-8 h;
A3, granulation: performing suction filter on the milled slurry, and then processing same into a granular ceramic powder with an average particle size of 20-40 μm by a centrifugal spray drier for later use;
A4, primary sintering: loading the ceramic powder obtained in step A3 into a hot-pressing mold, and performing normal temperature sintering at 1000-1200° C. with nitrogen as a protective gas, with the temperature-holding time being 1-2 h to prepare a ceramic blank; and
A5, secondary sintering: loading the ceramic blank obtained in step A4 into a hot-pressing mold, using nitrogen as a protective gas, sintering at 1600-1800° C. under normal pressure, with the temperature-holding time being 2-3 h; after cooling to room temperature in a furnace, taking out the sintered product, and then polishing same on a surface grinding machine to prepare a ceramic matrix to be metallized.
Further, the inorganic fiber of step A1 is one of silicon carbide fiber, aluminum nitride fiber or silicon oxide fiber.
Further, in the ball-milling process of step A2, the ball-milling rate is 360 r/min, and the ball material ratio is 10:1.
A preparation method of an Al2O3-based ceramic welding sealing component, comprising the steps of:
B 1, preparation of metallized paste: weighing 10-20 parts of titanium powder, 40-60 parts of tungsten powder, 10-20 parts of molybdenum oxide, 10-20 parts of boron oxide, 2-4 parts of yttrium oxide and 2-5 parts of an organic binder, uniformly mixing the titanium powder, tungsten powder, molybdenum oxide, boron oxide, yttrium oxide and the organic binder together to prepare a metallized paste;
B2, silk-screen: ultrasonically cleaning the surface of the ceramic matrix to be metallized prepared in claim 1 with anhydrous ethanol, and then uniformly coating the metallized paste on the surfaces of both ends of the ceramic matrix by means of silk-screen printing, wherein the printing thickness of the metallized paste is 40-50 μm; and

Further, the organic binder in step B1 is made by mixing according to a weight ratio of ethyl cellulose: terpineol: ethylene glycol=2:1:1.
Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the beneficial effects that:
1. The sodium tripolyphosphate of the present invention is an anionic hydrophilic surfactant. In water, the sodium tripolyphosphate is ionized to form anions, and is adsorbed on the surface of oxides (yttrium oxide, silicon oxide and titanium oxide), so that an electric double layer is formed at the interface between the oxide molecules and water, and the oxides are negatively charged due to the adsorption of anions on the surface. The oxides with the same charge are repelled by the electrostatic repulsion, which prevents the particles from aggregating with each other, thereby improving the dispersion effect of the oxides.
2. In the present invention, SiO2—Y2O3 as a sintering aid forms a liquid phase during high-pressure and high-temperature sintering under the action of an additive, and the mass transfer and condensation of the grains of the inorganic fiber-hexagonal aluminum oxide 3D network matrix in the liquid phase are fast, facilitating the diffusion and migration of grain boundaries, so that the SiO2—Y2O3 as the sintering aid can significantly improve the efficiency of space filling and mechanical properties of the ceramic matrix.
3. The titanium powder in the metallized paste of the present invention has a strong chemical activity and a great affinity for molybdenum oxide, boron oxide and yttrium oxide. At the sintering temperature, the titanium powder and molybdenum oxide, boron oxide and yttrium oxide form a liquid phase active alloy to penetrate to the surface of the ceramic matrix to form a very compact and uniform metal layer, so that the ceramic matrix and the metal layer are sealed with high strength and high air tightness, which greatly improves the wettability of the ceramic matrix.
4. The titanium oxide in the ceramic matrix of the present invention can interact with the oxide in the metallized paste, so that the viscosity of the glass phase in the ceramic matrix is reduced and the surface of the titanium particles in the metallized layer is well wetted. At the same time, the glass phase in the ceramic matrix is promoted to migrate to the metallized layer by capillary action penetrating into the gaps of the titanium particles in the metallized layer, thereby improving the wettability of the ceramic matrix.
5. In the present invention, a 3D network structure is prepared by using an inorganic fiber as a reinforcing agent through cross-linking the aluminum oxide and the surface-modified inorganic fiber at high-temperature and high pressure. The 3D network structure is beneficial to the compactness of the ceramic matrix, greatly improving the temperature resistance and mechanical properties of the ceramic matrix. The oxide is filled in the inorganic fiber-aluminum oxide 3D network matrix under the action of the dispersant and is ground, and the inorganic fiber component is used as a ball-milling medium to reduce the particle size of the inorganic fiber-aluminum oxide 3D network matrix and improve the efficiency of space filling and mechanical properties of the ceramic matrix. A compact ceramic matrix is formed under the action of a binder, and the inorganic fiber-aluminum oxide 3D network structure can disperse and eliminate various stresses generated in the interior of the ceramic and introduced by aluminum oxide, so that the ceramic matrix has good flexibility, and improved bending strength.
6. In the sintering process of the metallized layer, titanium powder and molybdenum oxide, boron oxide and yttrium oxide form a glass phase, and the glass phase migrates into tungsten powder particles, so that the position of the tungsten powder is adjusted, achieving a tight arrangement again, resulting in a high efficiency of space filling of the metallized layer. At the same time, the atoms on the surface of the tungsten powder will be dissolved in the glass phase, and since the glass phase in the metallized layer and the liquid phase in the ceramic matrix are mutually soluble, the liquid phase in the ceramic matrix will be promoted to migrate into the pores of the tungsten powder, and at the same time, the glass phase in the metallized layer and the tungsten powder dissolved in the glass phase penetrate into the ceramic matrix. The 3D network structure of the ceramic matrix can make the glass phase of the metallized layer more easily migrate into the 3D network structure of the ceramic matrix, strengthening the connection between the ceramic matrix and the metallized layer, and enhancing the wettability of the ceramic matrix. Yttrium oxide in the composition of the metallized layer reacts readily with aluminum oxide in the ceramic matrix at high-temperatures to produce liquid phase YAP, further improving the wetting of the metallized layer by the ceramic matrix.
7. In the present invention, by using 3D network matrix of inorganic fibers and aluminum oxide, and using yttrium oxide-silicon oxide-titanium oxide as a sintering aid to obtain a ceramic matrix with a high efficiency of space filling, which has excellent bending properties, fracture toughness, insulation properties and high-temperature resistance. The sealing component prepared by metallizing the ceramic matrix of the present invention using titanium powder, tungsten powder and the like as the metallized paste has a very good efficiency of space filling, and has a high tensile strength and excellent high-temperature resistance because the metallized paste has a very good sealing effect with the ceramic matrix of the present invention.
