Wear and impact properties of ceramic thermal spray coatings

 

Bulk amorphous alloys (BMGs) have high strength, hardness and elastic deformation. These characteristics greatly improve the wear resistance of amorphous alloys. So amorphous alloys attract more and more attention in the field of wear resistance. Among them, fe-base amorphous alloy has been a hot spot in academic research and industrial application because of its low cost. However, bulk amorphous alloys have high brittleness at room temperature, and it is difficult to prepare large-scale amorphous alloys, which limits their wide application. In view of this, many researchers try to prepare amorphous coatings on crystalline substrate surface. The amorphous coating can not only inherit the high hardness and wear resistance of bulk amorphous alloy, but also solve the room temperature brittleness and size limitation. At present, thermal spray coating is the most popular technique to prepare amorphous coatings, especially plasma spraying and supersonic flame spraying. QIAO et al. prepared amorphous Fe Cr MoCSiCoAlY coating by plasma spraying, and found that the coating hardness was HV0.1884±61, and the wear resistance was better. JIANG et al. prepared Fe74Cr7Mo3Ni3Si2BP6C4 amorphous coating by plasma spraying, and found that the porosity of the coating decreased with the increase of Mo content.

Surface engineering technology is an important part of advanced manufacturing technology and also provides important technical support for manufacturing technology innovation. Surface technology on the surface of material surface protection, restoration and surface modification has distinctive advantages, such as thermal spraying technology is a kind of surface technology, with the continuous development of coating technology and coating materials, thermal spraying coating for its better than that of base material, expand the application range of materials, improve the service life of the parts, save the resources. In this paper, based on the actual parts on the surface of the insulation, wear resistance and impact resistance, thermal spraying technology was studied, the thermal spraying material and related auxiliary craft, with 45 steel as substrate material, choose the micron grade respectively Al_2O_3 ceramic powder and nylon 11 powder as the coating material, the explosion spraying process method, on the 45 steel substrate material specimen Al_2O_3 ceramic coatings, reunion Al_2O_3 ceramic coating was prepared, in addition, the preparation of nylon 11 bythermal spraying coating. The surface morphology, structure and particle size of the coating were examined by metallographic microscope. The phase structure of Al_2O_3 ceramic coating was determined by X-ray diffraction, and the crystallinity of nylon 11 coating was calculated.

Cast Tungsten Carbide Welding Layer with Different Eutectic Microstructure Content

Cast tungsten carbide is one of the tungsten based hard surface materials widely used in petroleum, mining, metallurgy, agricultural machinery and other industries. Its structure is eutectic structure of WC and W2C (WC·W2C), with high hardness, high melting point and other characteristics. Cast tungsten carbide as wear-resistant material can be used to prepare high quality drill bits and wear-resistant surfacing parts of various equipment. In practical application, casting tungsten carbide is usually used as the hard phase and ni-based self-fusion alloy as the bonding phase. Welding layers applied in various industrial fields are prepared by oxy-acetylene surfacing, plasma surfacing, laser cladding, oxy-acetylene spray welding and other processes. The quality of tungsten carbide powder of hard phase casting directly affects the properties of welding layer. On the one hand, the chemical composition of high-quality cast tungsten carbide should be controlled, such as total carbon, free carbon and impurity elements (Fe, Ni, Co, etc.). On the other hand, the physical properties of cast tungsten carbide powder, such as powder morphology, particle size composition and eutectic structure content, should be controlled. The microstructure of cast tungsten carbide is usually dendritic or feathery. The method to determine the content of eutectic structure is to analyze the metallographic structure of cast tungsten carbide particles of a certain size and determine the content of the eutectic structure observed in the metallographic structure.
Cast tungsten carbide powder, as an important hard surface material, is playing an increasingly important role in the surface wear protection of power, energy, petroleum, chemical industry, metallurgy, machinery and other industrial components. The traditional production method of tungsten carbide is to mix the tungsten carbide powder, tungsten powder and the returned material in the production process with a certain carbon content, and then conduct smelting. Most of the produced tungsten carbide powder particles are in flake, long strip or multi-angle shape, and the acicular eutectic structure content in the crystal is low. This powder in surfacing coating or laser cladding, often in the coating form a large stress concentration, and under the pressure of easy to produce surface cracks, and fracture failure. In the 1990s, spherical cast tungsten carbide powder was prepared in the United States, Germany, Canada and other countries. Compared with traditional tungsten carbide, spherical casting tungsten carbide has two significant advantages. One is that the appearance is regular and spherical, the powder has good fluidity and wettability, and it can combine well with surrounding tissues after being added as an additive particle. Second, tungsten carbide particles have dense internal organization, good toughness, fine grain, high hardness, good wear resistance of coating and not easy to break and fail under the action of load. Due to its excellent performance, spherical cast tungsten carbide powder is gradually used in mining machinery, petroleum machinery, construction industry and foundry and other parts.

Coating stripping of scrap carbide spray coating cutters

Coated carbide cutting tool is the most important cutting tool in the world, because of the coating and the carbide matrix composition difference is too big, the waste coating carbide in the recycling process needs to be stripped of the coating. In this paper, different grades of carbide spray coatings were used as experimental materials, and the peeling of their surface coatings was studied by different methods. The surface morphology, chemical composition, structure and properties of the samples were analyzed by using 3D high field depth microscope, scanning electron microscope, EDS, EDX, XRD and microhardness tester. The results show that:

1) the TiN coating on the surface of waste cemented carbide can be completely removed by using the alkaline solution of potassium oxalate and hydrogen peroxide. The optimal ratio of the solution is K2C2O4(0.5mol/L), H2O2(3mol/L) and PH=13. There are three kinds of corrosion, including spot corrosion, crevice corrosion and uniform corrosion. Pitting corrosion and crevice corrosion are caused by pitting, crevice and other defects of TiN coating. During TiN coating stripping, uniform corrosion is the main method. After TiN coating stripping, nitrogen exists in the form of NH3 or ammonia, and titanium dissolves in the solution in the form of TiO(C2O4)22.

2) the TiN/ alpha-al2o3 /TiCN coating can be effectively removed by the mixed molten solution of sodium hydroxide and sodium carbonate. The best coating removal effect can be obtained by the molten salt method under the conditions of 700 degrees and 40 min, but the damage to the substrate is large, and the quality loss rate of the sample is up to 3.32%. Alpha -Al2O3 coating is removed mainly by reaction with sodium hydroxide solution.

3) the multi-component composite carbide spray coatings containing A1203 can be quickly and efficiently peeled off by physical pretreatment and independently developed coating stripping solution. In the process of dissolution method, the pretreatment method has a great influence on the rate, effect and morphology of the hard alloy matrix. In the process of high temperature treatment, the coatings of TiN and Ti(C, N) with low oxidation temperature crack and form a large number of grid-like micro-cracks. The loose oxidation layer rapidly reduces the hardness and reduces the bonding strength between the coating and the substrate. Sandblasting process destroys the coating structure, causing bulges, cracks and holes in the coating, reducing the adhesion between the coating and the substrate, and speeding up the peeling rate of the coating. The best pretreatment method of the dissolution method is the high temperature treatment of 450 degrees for 90 min, and the cooling method is air cooling. Under this pretreatment method, the coating can be completely removed after the sample reacts in the stripping solution for 24 h, and the mass loss rate is about 1%.
