二级6-8型静高压装置厘米级腔体的设计原理与实验研究

利用大腔体静高压装置的实验数据,提出了"极限压缩体积比"的概念以及腔体与组装设计的一般性原理。通过对极限压缩体积比的分析,设计出了样品腔体达到厘米级的36/20(正八面体传压介质边长为36mm/末级压砧正三角形截角边长为20mm)组装。采用原位电阻观测Bi(Ⅲ-Ⅴ,7.7GPa),ZnTe(Ⅰ-Ⅱ,5GPa;Ⅱ-Ⅲ,8.9~9.5GPa;半导体-金属,11.5~13.0GPa)和ZnS(半导体-金属,15.6GPa)在高压下相变的方法,标定了36/20组装的腔体压力。实验结果表明所设计样品腔的尺寸大于10mm,压力可以达到15GPa以上。本工作使得基于国产6×2 500t(吨)铰链式六面顶压机的二级6-8型静高压装置在高压实验研究中具有更加广阔的应用前景。     

利用围压提高二级大腔体静高压装置压力极限的初步实验探索

采用基于国产铰链式六面顶压机二级6-8型大腔体静高压装置中的10/4(即八面体传压介质边长为10mm,二级WC-Co硬质合金立方块截角边长为4mm)组装,选择不同的围压材料和传压硬质合金台棱、圆片,在室温下用ZnTe的高压相变对压腔进行了压力标定。实验结果表明,叶蜡石是较合适的围压材料;但由于传压台棱、圆片自身强度的限制,及一级压腔形成的围压值较低等原因,致使实验没有达到预期的末级压砧围压增强效果。通过结合两种压腔的力学简化模型分析得知,围压材料与二级增压装置的预密封边共同形成了二级压腔的密封边,该大面积密封边消耗了系统的大部分加载力,因此在围压实验中没有观测到二级6-8型大腔体静高压装置压力极限的提高。

High pressure generation in the Kawai-type multianvil apparatus equipped with sintered diamond anvils

ABSTRACT

Generation of high pressure is a key to the investigation of the interior of the Earth. The Kawai-type multianvil apparatus (KMA) has been widely used in the fields of Earth science and material science. In conventional KMA, tungsten carbide (WC) has been used as the second stage anvil material. However, attainable pressure is limited to ～70?GPa even if newly developed WC is used. Recently, on the other hand, second stage anvils of sintered diamond that is much harder than WC have enabled us to extend the pressure range of KMA up to 120?GPa, corresponding to the pressure of the D” layer in the Earth’s mantle. It is evident that our development of pressure generation facilitates the investigation of the structure and dynamics of the deep mantle of the Earth.     

A simple opposed-anvil apparatus for high pressure and temperature experiments above 10 GPa

A new opposed-anvil high pressure and temperature apparatus was developed based on the Drickamer-type apparatus. Various improvements were made to increase the sample volume and to generate high pressure and temperature stably and easily. By optimizing components such as the anvil, heater, and gasket, large sample volumes of about 4?mm³ (～10³ times more than that previously obtained with our previous apparatus) were achieved, with compact and light apparatus (outer diameter ? 40?mm; height 31?mm; weight 300?g). Pressures and temperatures up to about 15?GPa and 1700?K can routinely and stably be achieved by using this assembly. In order to extend the pressure range further, sintered diamond was used as an anvil material. As a result, pressures and temperatures of around 38?GPa and 1400?K were achieved, although the sample volume was decreased to about 1.3×10^?1?mm³.     

Pressure generation to 50 GPa in Kawai-type multianvil apparatus using newly developed tungsten carbide anvils

A pressure generation test for Kawai-type multianvil apparatus (KMA) has been made using second-stage anvils of a newly developed ultra-hard tungsten carbide composite. Superb performance of the new anvil with significantly less plastic deformation was confirmed as compared to those commonly used for the KMA experiments. A maximum pressure of ～48?GPa was achieved using the new anvils with a truncation edge length (TEL) of 1.5?mm, based on in situ X-ray diffraction measurements. Further optimization of materials and sizes of the pressure medium/gasket should lead to pressures even higher than 50?GPa in KMA using this novel tungsten carbide composite, which may also be used for expansion of the pressure ranges in other types of high pressure apparatus operated in large volume press.

High-temperature calibration of a multi-anvil high pressure apparatus

Fusion and solidification of Al and Ag samples, as well as Fe₉₃–Al₃–C₄, Fe₅₆–Co₃₇–Al₃–C₄, and Fe_57.5–Co₃₈–Al₁–Pb_0.5–C₃ alloys (in wt%), have been investigated at 6.3?GPa. Heater power jumps due to heat consumption and release on metal fusion and solidification, respectively, were used to calibrate the thermal electromotive force of the thermocouple against the melting points (mp) for Ag and Al. Thus, obtained corrections are +100°C (for sample periphery) and +65°C (center) within the 1070–1320°C range. For small samples positioned randomly in the low-gradient zone of a high pressure cell, the corrections should be +80°C and +84°C at the temperatures 1070°C and 1320°C, respectively. The temperature contrast recorded in the low-gradient cell zone gives an error about ±17°C. The method has been applied to identify the mp of the systems, which is especially important for temperature-gradient growth of large type IIa synthetic diamonds.     

Finite element analysis and experiment on high pressure apparatus with split cylinder

Ultra-high pressure belt-type die was designed with a large sample volume prism cavity and a split cylinder which was divided into eight segments to eliminate circumferential stress. The cylinder of this type die has no cambered surface on inner wall, and the inner hole is a hexagonal prism-type cavity. The divided bodies squeeze with each other, providing the massive support and lateral support effect of the cylinder. Simulation results indicate that the split cylinder with the prism cavity possesses much smaller stress and more uniform stress distribution. The split cylinder with the prism cavity has been shown to bear larger compressive stresses in radial, circumferential and axial directions due to its structure, and tungsten carbide is most effective in pure compression so this type cylinder could bear higher pressure. Experimental results prove that the high pressure apparatus with a prism-type cavity could bear higher pressure. The apparatus with a prism cavity could bear 52.2% more pressure than the belt-type die.     

Hybrid-toroidal anvil: a replacement for the conventional WC anvil used for the large volume cubic high pressure apparatus

We propose a design and operation of a hybrid-toroidal anvil used for the large volume cubic high pressure apparatus (LV-CHPA), such that it is possible to obtain a higher sintered quality, less weight and cost of tungsten carbide (WC) anvil than the conventional anvil. We use the finite element simulations to show the distributions of the stress on the surface and in the bulk of the WC anvils, and conclude that, for a given load on the hybrid-toroidal anvil, the volume of the compressed press medium has increased by 4.88%, and the rate of the transmitted pressure has increased by 6.72% compared with the conventional anvil. Furthermore, the advantages of the hybrid-toroidal anvil are that the movement of anvils increases by 37.14% and the growth rate of the fatigue crack decreases by 40%. This has been proved by the high pressure experiments. This work gives an approach to optimize the WC anvils used for the LV-CHPA and presents a simple method to achieve the higher sample pressure and the larger sample volume.
