Technical Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a ceramic sintered body, and more specifically, to a method for manufacturing a ceramic sintered body that has high density and has a low degree of decrease in mechanical strength at high temperatures (hereinafter referred to as high temperature strength). Regarding the method. Technical background of the invention and its problems Ceramic sintered bodies mainly composed of silicon nitride have excellent heat resistance, being able to withstand high temperatures of around 1900°C, and have excellent thermal shock resistance due to their low coefficient of thermal expansion. It also has Taking advantage of such properties, attempts have been made to apply this type of ceramic sintered body mainly composed of silicon nitride to structural parts such as gas turbine blades and nozzles that require high strength at high temperatures. Currently, such ceramic sintered bodies are made of, for example, silicon nitride.
It is manufactured using a mixture of yttrium oxide and aluminum oxide as a raw material by the so-called hot pressing method, ordinary sintering method, etc. The present inventors have previously achieved excellent properties by changing the material at grain boundaries from a glassy (amorphous) material to a Si 3 N 4 Y 2 O 3 crystal compound, for example in the hot pressing method. It was revealed that a silicon nitride-based sintered body having the following characteristics can be obtained. In addition, the present inventors have proposed a method for producing a ceramic powder material in which the amount of glassy material present in the sintered body is small, as disclosed in JP-A-54-47709 and JP-A-55-27843; Or as a ceramic powder material
It was also revealed that a sintered body with improved high-temperature strength can be obtained by using silicon nitride powder produced from Si 3 N 4 and Y 2 O 3 . However, in the above-mentioned sintering method, it is difficult to obtain a dense sintered body when using the normal sintering method, and it is difficult to obtain a sintered body with excellent mechanical strength and thermal shock resistance. It has drawbacks. In addition, when using the hot press sintering method, a sintered body with excellent mechanical strength and thermal shock resistance can be obtained, but the shape of the sintered body is restricted and it is not suitable for mass production. have. In order to eliminate these drawbacks, the present inventors further developed Si 3 N 4 −Y 2 O 3 −Al 2 O 3 −AlN− as a raw material for the sintered body in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 113674/1983.
By using TiO 2 , ZrO 2 , and MgO-based materials, it is possible to produce high-density sintered bodies with excellent mechanical strength and heat resistance comparable to sintered bodies produced by hot pressing. A sintering method was proposed. However, the sintered body obtained by this method is
The mechanical strength at around 1300°C was not necessarily satisfactory. OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks and to provide a method for manufacturing a ceramic sintered body that has high density and exhibits less decrease in mechanical strength at high temperatures. Summary of the Invention As a result of extensive research, the present inventors have discovered that the cause of the reduction in high-temperature strength of sintered bodies is the reaction between oxygen or silicon oxide (SiO 2 ) present in the raw material powder and sintering additives. It was found that the product is a glassy (amorphous) low melting point grain boundary phase. They discovered that the above objective could be achieved by using ceramic raw materials that had been heat-treated in advance.
The present invention has now been completed. That is, the method for producing a ceramic sintered body of the present invention includes: 75% by weight or more of silicon nitride powder heat-treated in a non-oxidizing atmosphere: 0.1 to 10% by weight of at least one rare earth element oxide powder: 0.1-10% by weight of aluminum oxide powder: 0.1-10% by weight of aluminum nitride powder: and respective oxides, carbides, silicides and borides of titanium, zirconium, chromium, hafnium, tantalum, niobium, molybdenum, vanadium and tungsten;
A mixed powder consisting of 0.05 to 5% by weight of one or more powders selected from the group consisting of oxides and silicides of magnesium, nickel, cobalt, manganese and beryllium; and boron carbide is molded. This method is characterized in that the molded body is sintered in a non-oxidizing atmosphere. In the following, the invention will be explained in more detail. The heat treatment of silicon nitride (Si 3 N 4 ) powder in the present invention is carried out in a non-oxidizing atmosphere, for example, by α
The mold silicon nitride powder is heated at a temperature range of 1400 to 1800°C, preferably 1600 to 1700°C, for about 30 minutes to 2 hours. As a non-oxidizing atmosphere,
Examples include nitrogen, argon, carbon monoxide, nitrogen-ammonia gas, and the like. By performing such heat treatment, oxygen or silicon oxide attached or adsorbed to the silicon nitride powder is desorbed, and a silicon nitride powder whose concentration is significantly reduced is obtained. Therefore, in a sintered body using silicon nitride powder subjected to such treatment, the amount of glassy (amorphous) material produced by the reaction between the additive (sintering aid) and oxygen or silicon oxide is small. Since it is removed or extremely reduced, its mechanical strength at around 1300°C is improved. The silicon nitride powder is blended in an amount of 75% by weight or more, preferably 80% by weight or more.
If the amount of silicon nitride powder is less than 75% by weight, no improvement in the high temperature strength of the resulting ceramic sintered body will be observed. Examples of rare earth element oxides used in the present invention include yttrium oxide (Y 2 O 3 ),
Lanthanum oxide (La 2 O 3 ), cerium oxide (CeO 2 ),
Praseodymium oxide (Pr 2 O 3 ), neodymium oxide (Nb 2 O 3 ), promethium oxide (Pm 2 O 3 ), samarium oxide (Sm 2 O 3 ), europium oxide (En 2 O 3 ), gadolinium oxide (Gd 2 O 3 ), terbium oxide (Tb 2 O 3 ), dysprosium oxide (Dy 2 O 3 ), holmium oxide (Ho 2 O 3 ), erbium oxide (Er 2 O 3 ), thulium oxide (Tm 2 O 3 ) and oxide Examples include itterbium (Yb 2 O 3 ), and one or more selected from the group consisting of these are used. Among these, it is particularly preferable to use yttrium oxide. Both the rare earth element oxide and aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3 ) function as sintering accelerators. The blending ratio of these ingredients is
When each exceeds 10% by weight, the high temperature strength of the obtained sintered body decreases. These things total 3
It is preferable to mix it in an amount of ~15% by weight. Aluminum nitride (AlN) has the function of suppressing evaporation and grain growth during the sintering process of Si 3 N 4 , which is the main component of the sintered body, and also suppresses the sintering of the entire sintered body by reacting with other components. This contributes to the promotion of
When the blending ratio of AlN exceeds 10% by weight, the high temperature strength of the obtained sintered body decreases. In the present invention, examples of the oxide, carbide, silicide, or boride of various elements added as the fifth component include titanium oxide (TiO 2 ), zirconium oxide (ZrO 2 ), and chromium oxide (Cr 2 O 3 ), hafnium oxide (HfO 2 ), tantalum oxide (Ta 2 O 5 ), niobium oxide (Nb 2 O 5 ), molybdenum oxide (MoO 3 ), vanadium oxide (V 2 O 5 ), tungsten oxide (WO 3 ) Oxides such as magnesium oxide (MgO), nickel oxide (NiO), cobalt oxide (CoO), manganese oxide (MnO 2 ), and beryllium oxide (BeO); titanium carbide (TiC), zirconium carbide (ZrC), Chromium carbide (Cr 3 C 2 ),
Hafnium carbide (HfC), tantalum carbide (TaC),

Silicides such as tungsten silicide (WSi 2 ), magnesium silicide (Mg 2 Si), nickel silicide (Ni 3 Si 2 ), cobalt silicide (CoSi 2 ), manganese silicide (MnSi), and beryllium silicide (BeSi 2 ); and boron Titanium boride (TiB 2 ), zirconium boride (ZrB), chromium boride (CrB 2 ), hafnium boride (HfB 2 ), tantalum boride (TaB 2 ), niobium boride (NbB 2 ), molybdenum boride ( Examples include borides such as MoB 2 ), vanadium boride (VB 2 ), and tungsten boride (WB), and one or more borides selected from the group consisting of these are used. All of these compounds have the function of promoting sintering of the sintered body, and improve the wettability of the main component, Si 3 N 4 , making the sintered body denser and shortening the sintering time. This also causes a decrease in the sintering temperature. These substances are used in a total amount of 0.05 to 5% by weight, preferably 0.1 to 3% by weight.
If the amount of these substances added is less than 0.05% by weight, the effect of the addition will not be sufficient, while if it exceeds 5% by weight, the high temperature strength of the resulting sintered body will be impaired. Mixing of powders having the above-mentioned amounts is usually done by
The method used for the mixing operation may be used, e.g.
This can be carried out using a grinding mixer such as a ball mill, and by adding a solvent such as n-butyl alcohol as necessary. Next, a binder such as paraffin is preferably added to the mixed powder thus prepared, and an appropriate pressure is applied to form a compact into a predetermined shape. In addition, if a binder is added, the temperature will be 600 to 800℃.
It is preferable to perform heat treatment to volatilize and remove the binder before sintering. Furthermore, a sintered body is obtained by sintering this molded body in a non-oxidizing atmosphere. Sintering is
For example, 1500-1900℃, preferably 1600-1800℃
This can be done by heating. Examples of the non-oxidizing atmosphere include nitrogen, argon, and the like. In an oxidizing atmosphere, Si 3 N 4 is oxidized to form SiO 2
This is not possible because Incidentally, during this sintering, sintering may be performed in a hot press state where a pressure of 50 to 500 kg/cm 2 is applied, or in a pressurized state in a non-oxidizing gas atmosphere. Alternatively, even if sintering is performed in a pressurized atmosphere after sintering by a normal sintering method, the characteristics of the sintered body according to the present invention will not be impaired in any way. . The present invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to Examples and Reference Examples. Examples 1-12 Average particle size containing 85% alpha-phase silicon nitride
By heating 1.2ÎŒ silicon nitride powder at 1650℃ for 1 hour in a nitrogen atmosphere,
Silicon nitride powder with reduced oxygen and silicon oxide concentrations was obtained. Such silicon nitride powder, Y2O3 powder with average particle size 1Ό, Al2O3 powder with average particle size 0.5Ό , average particle size 1.5Ό
AlN powder and TiO 2 , ZrO 2 with an average particle size of 1Ό,

WO3 , NiO, CoO, MnO2 , BeO, TiC, TiSi2 ,
Using each powder of TiB, 12 types of mixed powders were prepared with the blending amounts (wt%) shown in the table. Each of the mixed powders was pulverized and mixed for 24 hours using a rubber lined ball mill using n-butyl alcohol as a solvent. 7% by weight of paraffin was added as a binder to the raw material powder prepared in this way, and a molding pressure of 700 kg/cm 2 was applied to the raw material powder, and the length was 60 mm.
A plate-shaped molded body having a width of 40 mm and a thickness of 10 mm was produced. The molded bodies were first heat-treated at 700°C to volatilize and remove the binder, and then sintered at 1750°C in a nitrogen gas atmosphere to obtain silicon nitride ceramic sintered bodies. Reference Examples 1 to 10 Use silicon nitride powder without heat treatment, or use Si 3 N 4 powder, Y 2 O 3 powder, Al 2 O 3 powder, AlN powder, and powder added as the fifth component. Ten types of sintered bodies having the compositions shown in the table were prepared in the same manner as in the examples except that the blending amounts were changed. The relative density and bending strength (mechanical strength) of each sintered body obtained by the above procedure were measured, and the results are also listed in the table. Note that the relative density in the table is a relative value (%) based on the theoretical density. In addition, the bending strength value is based on a 3-point bending strength test, and the sample size is 3×
3 x 30 (mm), test condition is crosshead speed
0.5mm/min, span 20mm, temperature is room temperature and 1300℃
All measurements at each temperature were performed four times, and the average value is listed.
