Problems solved by technology

[0004] There are various preparation techniques for silicon nitride bearing balls. R. L. Yeckley's invention patent "Silicon nitride bearing ball with high fatigue life" (public number CN1143944), Zhang Peizhi's invention patent "a large-size ceramic ball "Preparation method" (publication number CN101125755A) all adopt expensive hot isostatic pressing (HIP) sintering process, and the post-processing cost of bearing ball is high
Zhang Baolin's invention patent "Sialon ceramics for bearing balls and its preparation method" (publication number CN1270944) adopts air pressure sintering. Although it can reduce production costs and sinter silicon nitride bearing balls of close size, it uses more Y 2 o 3 、Al 2 o 3 , AlN causes the performance of silicon nitride material to decrease, the hardness is greater than 16.5GPa, and the room temperature fracture toughness is only 5.5-6.2MPa m 1 / 2 , the strength is only 607-756MPa, the reliability of silicon nitride ceramic balls used in a large load environment is reduced, and this invention mainly produces ceramic balls below 25.4mm, which cannot be used to prepare large-size bearing balls

Abstract

The invention provides a preparation method for high reliability large-scale silicon nitride ceramic material, which comprises the following steps: a sintering aid is added into silicon nitride powder and well bended in medium to prepare a ground paste; the ground paste is dried and then formed by isostatic cool pressing; atmosphere pressure sintering is carried out. The density of the silicon nitride bearing ball prepared by atmosphere pressure sintering is larger than 98.5%, the strength is 700-900 MPa, the fracture toughness property is 8-9MPa-m<1 / 2>, and the hardness is larger than 15 GPa; after hot isosotatic pressing treatment, the density of the silicon nitride bearing ball is larger than 99%, the strength is 800-1000 MPa, the fracture toughness property is 8-10MPa-m<1 / 2>, and the hardness is larger than 15 GPa; compared with the large-scale silicon nitride products prepared by the existing atmospheric pressure sintering process, the performance indexes of the silicon nitride ceramic material can fully meet the requirement of high-power aerogenerator on the large-scale bearing ball; the large quantities of production can be realized with relatively low manufacture cost.
