Silicon Nitride Powder Production
How to produce high-purity silicon nitride powder with this Silicon Nitride Powder Vacuum Synthesis Furnace?
The production process of high-purity silicon nitride powder:
A) Sieving the metal silicon powder, removing sundries and block, put silicon powder on stainless steel trays, placing it into an oven, set the oven temperature to 70-90 degrees, drying for 7-9 hours.
B) Loading the dried metal silicon powder into a box, make it uniform and flat, placing the box into a silicon nitride reaction furnace, closing the furnace door, vacuuming, reach the set vacuum, stopping the vacuum pump. Then start heating, the initial set temperature is 950-1050 degrees, and the heating time is set for 5-7 hours.
C) Carefully observe the change of the pressure gauge. If there is no change in the pressure gauge within 1 hour, raise the temperature by 10-50 degrees, and then observe the pressure gauge. If the pressure drops, indicates that the metal silicon powder and nitrogen in the reaction furnace start to react. In the first temperature range of 1000-1200 degrees, the reaction time is 22-26 hours.
D) After more than 20 hours, the pressure increased, indicating the end of the first stage of reaction, then continue to raise the temperature up 40-60 degrees, the following heating process is the same as the previous, and finally, the heating ends at 1360 degrees.
E) When the temperature is 1360 degrees and after 4-5 hours, the whole reaction process can be considered to be finished when nitrogen is no longer absorbed. In order to ensure that the product has low free silicon, heat preservation is needed for 9-11 hours.
F) After heat preservation, turn off the power of the furnace and let it cool down. when the furnace temperature drops to 200 degrees, open the furnace door, take out the products, take samples for inspection.
