United States Patent METHGD FOR FABRICATING BONDED-METAL ARTICLEd, PARTICULARLY TANTALIUM-COP- PER HEAT. EXQHANGERS Hugh R. Smith, in, Piedmont, Calif., assignor to Tcmescai Metaiiurgicai Corporation, Richmond, Cahf a corporation of Caiifornia No Drawing. Filed Aug. 26, 1960, Ser. No. 52,035 5 Ciaims. (Ci. 29-527) This invention relates to the fabrication of articles composed of solidly united parts of different materials 5 for example, tubular heatexchangers composed of an inner tubular part of copper solidly united with an outer tubular part of tantalum.
It is well known that many articles are advantageously made by bonding together sheets of dissimilar materials. Nevertheless, there are numerous cases where such structures would be of obvious advantage, but have not been practical heretofore because of difliculty in obtaining a good bond between the materials required. A case in point is heat exchangers used in the chemical industry for heating acids and the like. The best heat exchangers heretofore available for this purpose have been hollow cylinders or tubes of tantalum, which extend into the acid bath and into which hot steam is introduced for heating the acid. These cylinders are made of tantalum because it is the only material available that is satisfactory both in resisting attack by the acid and in having other properties that are acceptable for such a heat exchanger.
The tantalum tubes from which these heat exchangers have been made heretofore must be relatively thick in order to withstand the high pressure of the hot steam. For example, tantalum sheet 60 mils thick has been used. This is not only expensive, bntalso the thick tantalum sheet does not haveidealthermai conduction characteristics, and results inuneven heating.
A much better and cheaper. heat exchanger results if the tantalum is reduced inthickness, say to five mils, and the. necessary mechanicalstrengthobtained from an inner layer of copper. However, it has not been practically heretofore to build such a structure because, under ordinary metal-fabrication conditions, the copper does not form a satisfactory bond to the tantalum. In consequence, the interface between the two metals, as heretofore joined, has been mechanically weak and has had poor thermal conduction.
The present invention solves the above problem. An outer tubular part is formed from thin tantalum sheet and is heated in a high vacuum until its inner surface is thoroughly outgassed and clean. (As herein used, the term high vacuum refers to absolute pressures no greater than approximately one micron of mercury.) In such a vacuum, the surface of the tantalum can be thoroughly outgassed and cleaned by heating to a temperature of approximately 450 centigrade, or higher, for a period of time depending upon the initial purity and condition of the tantalum. While the tantalum part is still in the vacuum chamber and still hot, a cylindrical, graphite rod, or the like, is placed in the center of the tantalum tube to form a core coaxial with the tantalum tube and separated from its inner surface by a tubular, evacuated space. This tubular space is next filled with molten copper, previously melted and outgassed under high vacuum, all the while maintaining the high vacuum to prevent contamination of the hot, clean surface of the tantalum. Under these conditions of absolute cleanliness, obtainable only in high vacua, the molten copper wets the tantalum.
The copper within the tubular space is now cooled and solidified, thereby forming a tubular copper part concentrically disposed within the tubular tantalum part. Because the tantalum surface was wet by the molten cop- 3,120,702 Patented F eb. 11, 1964 2 per under the conditions provided, upon solidification of the copper the two parts are solidly united or 'bonded togetheri.e., the copper and the tantalum are in such intimate contact that they are united by interatomic'bonds into essentially a single solid body. After the copper cools and solidifies, the tubular structure may be withdrawn froin the vacuum chamber and the carbon core bored out or otherwise removed.
The resulting heat exchanger is significantly superior to those heretofore availablein respect to both cost and performance. The lower cost results largely from the saving in tantalum which is a considerably more expensive metal than copper. The copper can be made as thick as desired for adequate mechanical strength, and the excellent thermal characteristics of copper lead to very even heating and otherwise superior performance of the improved heat exchanger. The interface between the copper and the tantalum is mechanically strong, and provides good heat transferbetween the two metals.
Although particularly important in the bonding of copper to tantalum for the manufacture of heat exchangers,
it is evident that the same principles have a Wider application and can be used to bond other materials that may not bond readily under ordinary conditions. Most materials, whether metals or nonmetals, will wet other materials and form strong bonds therewith when the molten material is brought into contact w ith a very clean surface produced by heating in a high vacuum until the surface is thoroughly outgassed. In general, baking out the surface at a temperature of about 450 centigrade, or higher, in a high vacuum, provides the required environment for wetting. Exceptions occur when catastrophic chemical reaction occurs between the two materials when they are brought into contact. For most common metals, this does not occur at the temperatures and pressures necessary to provide clean surfaces, and therefore the methods herein disclosed are of general utility, particularly for solidly uniting one metal part with anoth er metal part.
As a further example, the process and principles herein disclosed have been used to make steel-reinforced castings of aluminum or copper. Specifically, aluminum rotors for rotating machinery may be strengthened by steel inserts at points of high stress, provided the aluminum is solidly united with the steel, which is not accomplished by conventional metal-working techniques. According to the present invention, the steel parts are thoroughly cleaned and outgassed by baking out at about 450 centigrade, or higher, in a high vacuum, and vacuum-melted aluminum is poured and cast in contact with the hot steel while it is still under vacuum. Under these conditions the aluminum wets the steel, and :upon solidification is solidly united therewith. Of course, the process is not limited to rotors: steel-reinforced aluminum castings of any size and shape can be fabricated. Also, copper can be substituted for the aluminum.
