Description

Metal material reduction method with small-caliber opening cavity and reduction furnace
Technical Field
The invention relates to a metal inner cavity reduction technology, in particular to a metal material reduction method with a small-caliber opening cavity and a reduction furnace.
Background
The gas phase reduction method is a method in which a reducing gas reduces a metal oxide in a high temperature environment. The reduction of metal compounds using a gas as a reducing agent is a common method for obtaining pure metals, and this method requires that the surface of the metal material to be reduced is in full contact with the reducing gas, and the reducing gas is continuously flowed on the surface of the metal material to be reduced to achieve the best continuous reduction effect. It is particularly difficult to reduce the metal material to be reduced inside the chamber by the gas phase reduction method if the metal material to be reduced contains a chamber structure and the chamber has only a small number of small-caliber openings.
At present, a gas phase reduction method widely used for reducing small-caliber metal inner cavities utilizes high-temperature vacuum reduction furnace equipment to carry out metal materials, and the method comprises the steps of putting the metal materials to be reduced into an airtight hearth of the high-temperature vacuum reduction furnace, then pumping air in the airtight hearth to a certain vacuum value through a vacuum generating device, continuously filling deoxidized reducing gas, and heating to the necessary reducing temperature to ensure that the metal materials to be reduced and the reducing gas are subjected to reduction reaction to obtain pure metal materials.
The method for reducing the small-caliber metal inner cavity by using the high-temperature vacuum reduction furnace equipment has the following defects:
firstly, the high-temperature vacuum reduction furnace is high in manufacturing cost. The high-temperature vacuum reduction furnace is expensive due to high-value components such as the vacuum generator and the related sensor and expensive maintenance cost.
Secondly, the high-temperature vacuum reduction furnace is used for replacing gas in the small-caliber metal inner cavity, and the whole air cannot be replaced thoroughly due to the limitation of the capacity of the vacuum generator device. The vacuum capacity of a common mechanical vacuum pump is 1-5 Pa, and only about 0.5-1 Pa can be achieved under the condition of serially connecting and increasing Roots pumps. This results in the possibility of repeated oxidation of the small-bore metal cavity, which significantly compromises the effect of gas phase reduction.
And thirdly, the high-temperature vacuum reduction furnace is used for replacing gas in the small-caliber metal inner cavity, and the replacement step is difficult to continue after the furnace temperature is increased to the necessary temperature for metal reduction, because the vacuum generating device cannot bear the continuous passing of high-temperature gas. Therefore, the reducing gas can not continuously flow on the surface of the metal material to be reduced, after the initial reducing gas reacts with the metal oxide to generate oxide gas, the reducing gas is consumed to reduce the concentration, and the continuous reaction of the metal surface of the small-caliber inner cavity and the reducing gas is blocked, so that the gas-phase reduction effect and efficiency are greatly reduced.
And fourthly, performing gas replacement on the small-caliber metal cavity by using the high-temperature vacuum reduction furnace, wherein when the initial air in the hearth cavity is extracted, the reduction of the vacuum degree is slowed along with the gradual reduction of the air density. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, for example, a 400L space furnace chamber, it takes about 2 minutes for a general mechanical vacuum pump to a vacuum degree of 10Pa, about 8 minutes for pumping to 5Pa, and about 30 minutes for pumping to 1 Pa. The pumping needs to be repeated for several times to achieve lower oxygen content, and the efficiency is low.
Therefore, a new method for reducing a small-diameter metal cavity is urgently needed to solve the above problems.

Detailed Description
The invention is described in detail below with reference to the figures and specific embodiments. It is noted that the aspects described below in connection with the figures and the specific embodiments are only exemplary and should not be construed as imposing any limitation on the scope of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 3, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for reducing a metal material with a small-caliber opening cavity, including:
a heating step: heating the hearth to reach the necessary reduction temperature in the hearth;
a breath replacement step: filling reducing gas into the airtight hearth by using a positive pressure reducing gas source until the pressure in the hearth reaches a first pressure; discharging the mixed gas until the pressure in the hearth is reduced to a second pressure;
repeating the breathing replacement step for a plurality of times until the oxygen content of the gas in the hearth reaches a target value.
Wherein, the breath replacement step is a process of gradually replacing the air in the hearth with a reducing atmosphere by utilizing inflation and exhaust circulation. The method utilizes the natural high positive pressure characteristic of the positive pressure reducing gas source, can conveniently and rapidly pressurize the hearth and the metal of the small-caliber cavity, and has high efficiency and high speed. Compared with the existing vacuum reduction method, the method has the advantages of simple and reliable equipment and operation method. Because the hearth and the small-caliber cavity metal do not need to be pumped to negative pressure, vacuum generation equipment is not needed, the requirement on the air tightness of the hearth is not high, and the dependence on the equipment and the equipment cost are reduced.
During the charging process, the first pressure in the furnace is related to the output pressure of the positive pressure reducing gas source, and in a possible embodiment, the first pressure is not less than 1.5 times the atmospheric pressure. The second pressure in the furnace during the exhaust is less than the first pressure and not less than atmospheric pressure (preferably the second pressure is equal to atmospheric pressure) to ensure that sufficient mixed gas (mixture of reducing gas and air) is exhausted.
The oxygen content of the general reduction process atmosphere is required to be less than or equal to 10PPM, and the oxygen content of the better reduction process atmosphere is required to be less than or equal to 1 PPM. As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the breath replacement step is repeated 5-10 times to meet the oxygen content requirement of the general reduction process atmosphere. To achieve an oxygen content of less than or equal to 1PPM, the preferred number of respiratory replacement steps is 7.
In a possible embodiment, the output pressure of the positive pressure reducing gas source may be 0.2MPa to 0.8 MPa. Tests show that the oxygen content in the metal of the hearth and the small-caliber cavity can be reduced to below 1PPM by using a 0.4MPa reducing gas source for 8 times of breathing and replacement and taking 40 minutes. And (3) breathing and replacing for 8 times by using a 0.7MPa reducing gas source, and consuming 30 minutes to reduce the oxygen content in the metal of the hearth and the small-caliber cavity to below 1 PPM.
It should be noted that in the method, because the exhaust does not need to enter any component, the heating step and the breathing replacement step can be carried out simultaneously, so that the reducing gas can be well mixed and flow sufficiently in each breathing replacement, the reducing gas is in full contact with the surface of the metal to be reduced, and the metal reduction effect is ensured. Further, the breathing replacement step can be performed at least once more after the necessary temperature for reduction is reached in the furnace. The breathing replacement action can be carried out at any furnace temperature, so that the hearth can be heated and breathing and air exchange can be carried out at the same time, waiting time is not needed, the production efficiency is further improved, and compared with the traditional vacuum air extraction method, the efficiency is improved by about 500 percent.
The reducing gas can be a mixture of the reducing gas and inert gas according to a certain proportion. The reducing gas may be hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, etc., and the inert gas may be nitrogen, argon, etc. For example, the reducing gas may be a mixture of 5% hydrogen and 95% nitrogen, or a mixture of 15% carbon monoxide and 85% argon.
It is easy to understand that the embodiment of the present application further provides a reduction furnace for implementing the above method, which includes a hearth, the hearth is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet, the air inlet is connected to a positive pressure reducing gas source, and a heating element (e.g., a resistance wire) is disposed in the hearth. Compared with the existing high-temperature vacuum furnace, the vacuum furnace has the advantages that a vacuum generator (a vacuum tube and the like) and a vacuum degree sensor are not required to be arranged, so that the equipment cost is reduced.
In summary, the method for reducing the metal material with the small-caliber opening cavity and the reduction furnace provided by the embodiment of the application are simple and reliable, have low equipment cost, and can efficiently reduce the metal material with the small-caliber opening cavity.
