Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of aluminum bronze, in particular to a wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant aluminum bronze for bearings and a preparation process thereof. Background Art

[0002] Aluminum bronze, as an important engineering material, is widely used in the field of bearing manufacturing. However, in actual operation, bearings are often in high-load, high-friction and corrosive media environments, which place extremely high demands on the material's wear resistance and corrosion resistance. Existing aluminum bronze materials are prone to surface wear and corrosion under complex working conditions, leading to bearing failure and affecting the stability and service life of the equipment. Although traditional surface treatment technologies such as quenching and plating can improve the surface properties of aluminum bronze to a certain extent, there are problems such as insufficient bonding between the coating and the substrate, poor density of the corrosion-resistant layer, and difficulty in maintaining the wear-resistant effect in the long term. It is difficult to meet the stringent requirements of high-end bearings for wear resistance and corrosion resistance.

[0003] Therefore, developing a preparation process that can significantly improve the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of aluminum bronze is of great practical significance for improving the reliability and service life of bearings. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Furthermore, the surface of the base layer aluminum bronze alloy is a supersaturated solid solution base layer prepared by laser surface quenching, and its thickness is 30-50 μm.

[0007] Furthermore, in the preparation process of the working layer aluminum bronze alloy, the specific steps of the surface pretreatment include: Ar⁺ plasma activation of the working layer aluminum bronze alloy surface, the power is 200-220W, and the time is 30-45min; the specific steps of the arc ion plating deposition include: setting the working layer deposition temperature at 400-405°C, the working pressure is 3.5Pa, and the base bias is -60V, and preparing the working layer on the surface of the base layer aluminum bronze alloy; the working layer preparation includes the preparation of the initial layer, the transition layer, and the surface layer.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention produces an aluminum bronze alloy for bearings with excellent corrosion and wear resistance through laser surface quenching, arc ion plating gradient AlCrON coating, and epoxy resin filler film curing. The high temperature of laser quenching dissolves the original coarse α and κ phases, while rapid cooling suppresses the formation of precipitated phases, forming a uniform β solid solution. Rapid heating and cooling refine the aluminum bronze alloy's grains, forming a supersaturated solid solution layer. This process eliminates element segregation (such as the aggregation of Al and Ni), reduces interphase galvanic corrosion (such as differential corrosion between β' and κ phases), and improves the hardness and density of the substrate. The uniform solid solution produced by laser surface quenching serves as a "transition interface," leveraging its in-situ metallurgical bonding to the substrate, which is typically stronger than physical vapor deposition (PVD) bonding. This enhances the adhesion of subsequent coatings to the substrate and reduces the risk of coating spalling.

[0014] The nano-multilayer structure of the AlCrON coating is achieved through gradient preparation, improving corrosion resistance through grain refinement and interfacial barrier effects (such as the nitrogen-enriched layer inhibiting Cl⁻ diffusion). Finally, a micro-skeleton-nanofiller composite membrane, prepared by curing a fluorinated epoxy resin and hydrophobically modified silica, is laser-etched to form micron-scale pores on the AlCrON surface, serving as anchor points for the micro-skeleton-nanofiller composite membrane and forming a physical and mechanical interlocking structure. Plasma activation pretreatment further strengthens the bonding between the layers, creating a micro-skeleton-nanofiller composite membrane on the AlCrON coating surface, providing superhydrophobicity and mechanical wear resistance, and further blocking moisture and corrosive ions.

[0024] Conclusion: The wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant aluminum bronze for bearings prepared by the present invention has excellent corrosion resistance and wear resistance.

[0025] In Comparative Example 1, the base layer obtained by laser surface quenching is missing, resulting in reduced bonding strength between layers, and reduced corrosion resistance and wear resistance of the wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant aluminum bronze for bearings; In Comparative Example 2, the working layer prepared by gradient is missing, resulting in a decrease in the performance of the working layer itself, and thus a decrease in the corrosion resistance and wear resistance of the wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant aluminum bronze used for the bearing; Comparative Example 3 lacks a surface curing coating, resulting in reduced hydrophobicity and increased contact angle of the wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant aluminum bronze surface for bearings. The lack of a filler skeleton leads to reduced wear resistance.
