Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of steel components, in particular to a surface treatment process of a corrosion-resistant steel component. Background Art

[0002] Steel components refer to composite steel structures constructed from steel plates, angle steel, channel steel, I-beams, and welded or hot-rolled H-beams, cold-bent or welded, connected by connectors. These components are capable of bearing and transmitting loads. Steel component systems offer advantages such as light weight, factory-fabricated manufacturing, rapid installation, short construction periods, excellent seismic performance, rapid investment returns, and minimal environmental pollution. Compared to reinforced concrete structures, they possess unique advantages in terms of height, size, and lightness. Globally, steel components are widely and rationally used in construction. However, practice has shown that greater applied forces increase the deformation of steel components. However, excessive applied forces can lead to fracture or severe, significant plastic deformation, compromising the proper functioning of the structure. To ensure the proper functioning of engineering materials and structures under load, each steel component must possess sufficient load-bearing capacity, also known as bearing capacity. Bearing capacity is primarily determined by the strength, stiffness, and stability of the steel component.

[0003] The corrosion of steel structures is closely related to the atmospheric environment in which they are located. Ambient air humidity, temperature, and atmospheric pollutants have a particularly significant impact on steel corrosion. Existing corrosion protection methods for building steel structures generally involve coating the surface with anti-corrosion paint. However, this protection is ineffective and cannot withstand harsh environments. Furthermore, the paint has a short service life. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a surface treatment process for corrosion-resistant steel components in order to solve the problems that the existing anti-corrosion treatment of steel components mostly adopts the method of coating the surface of the steel components with anti-corrosion paint for protection, which has poor protection effect, cannot cope with harsh environments and has a short service life.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a surface treatment process for corrosion-resistant steel components, comprising the following steps:

[0006] S1: Rust removal, the steel components are first rusted by chemical means, and then the steel components are secondly rusted by mechanical means;

When using mechanical rust removal, the roughness of the surface of the steel component can be increased while removing the rust, thereby increasing the adhesion effect of the metal coating.

A hydrophobic protective layer with a thickness of 0.5-1.0 μm is formed, which can improve rust resistance.

[0042] The chemical method is to use sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid solution for treatment. Specifically, the concentration of sulfuric acid is 15-20% and the treatment time is 20-40 minutes.

[0043] The mechanical method is to use quartz sand or iron sand blasting to make the surface of the steel component reach Sa2.5 cleanliness level.

[0044] The organic solvent for cleaning is one of gasoline or acetone, and the alkaline solvent is NaOH or Na3P04.

[0046] Step S4 adopts a cold spraying process, the zinc powder particle size used is 15-45 μm, and the compressed air pressure is 0.6-1.0 MPa.

[0047] The cold spraying process is carried out in two steps with an interval of 30 minutes, and the total thickness is 80-120 μm.

[0048] Step S5 uses high-pressure airless spraying equipment with a nozzle diameter of 0.43-0.53 mm and a pressure of 12-15 MPa.

[0049] The high-pressure airless spray equipment is used for multiple spraying. Specifically, the coating used by the high-pressure airless spray equipment includes epoxy sealer and thinner, which are mixed in a weight ratio of 4:1.
