Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention discloses a method for preparing a self-lubricating composite coating by prefabricating solid lubricating powder, and relates to the technical field of laser surface modification, in particular to a method for preparing a self-lubricating composite coating by prefabricating solid lubricating powder on a workpiece surface and then performing ultra-high speed laser cladding. Background Art

[0002] Surface wear of workpieces is one of the important factors affecting the work efficiency and service life of workpieces. Ultra-high-speed laser cladding technology uses a high-energy-density laser beam to fuse the cladding material with the substrate surface, so that the cladding layer and the substrate form a good metallurgical bond, thereby improving the mechanical properties and wear resistance of the substrate. Compared with other traditional surface modification technologies, it has the advantages of high processing efficiency, low coating dilution rate, and green environmental protection. It can effectively improve the hardness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the surface, and shows unique process advantages and application prospects in the preparation of high-quality cladding layers.

[0003] The main methods of using ultra-high-speed laser cladding to improve the wear resistance of the workpiece surface are to increase the surface hardness and reduce the surface friction factor. For example, the patent applied for by the Institute of New Materials of Guangdong Academy of Sciences (a tungsten carbide reinforced high entropy alloy composite powder for ultra-high-speed laser cladding and its coating and preparation method and application, publication number: CN114147215A) and the patent applied for by Shanghai Jiaotong University (a preparation method of gear surface strengthening coating and gear, publication number CN113981441A) respectively use high entropy alloy powder and iron-based powder for ultra-high-speed cladding to improve the wear resistance by increasing the hardness of the coating. However, high hardness often causes a high friction factor, increases the wear of the coating, and reduces the service life of the coating. To solve this problem, scholars began to use laser cladding technology to prepare self-lubricating coatings with anti-friction properties, so that the surface has very good friction and wear resistance.

[0004] Conventional methods for preparing self-lubricating coatings by laser cladding are mostly to add solid lubricating powder to the cladding powder, such as the patent applied for by the Beijing Institute of Aeronautical Materials of China Aero Engine Corporation (a high-temperature wear-resistant self-lubricating coating material, its preparation method, coating and its preparation method, publication number: CN114908312A), by adding a certain amount of Cu and Mo as lubricants, providing lubrication performance at low temperatures, generating composite oxides at high temperatures to further play a lubricating effect, and cooperating with the enamel oxide generated by the hard phase and the bonding phase to reduce the wear rate of the coating. However, during the cladding process, solid lubricating powder is easy to decompose at high temperatures, react with air, and lose lubrication performance. Another example is the patent applied for by Shanghai University of Engineering Science (a nickel-based self-lubricating coating on titanium alloy surface by laser cladding and its preparation method, publication number: CN108411300A), by adding nickel-coated molybdenum disulfide as solid lubricating powder to the cladding powder, and then performing laser cladding, so that titanium alloy parts can meet the use requirements under harsh working conditions. However, the lubricating powder and hard phase powder in the cladding layer may be unevenly distributed such as discrete or piled up due to the difference in mass density, affecting the quality and mechanical properties of the coating; and under the convection of the molten pool generated by the cladding, the mass density of the solid lubricating powder in the cladding powder is lower than that of the hard phase powder, resulting in a large amount of solid lubricating powder gathering on the surface of the coating, so that the lubricating phase cannot be completely immersed in the coating and is easily scraped off.

[0005] In view of the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, it is very necessary to study and design a new method for preparing a self-lubricating composite coating by prefabricating solid lubricating powder, so as to overcome the problems existing in the prior art. Summary of the invention

[0006] According to the above-mentioned prior art, 1. The increase in coating hardness leads to an increase in the friction coefficient, which increases the amount of coating wear and reduces the service life of the coating; 2. The conventional laser cladding method for preparing self-lubricating coatings will cause the solid lubricating powder and the hard phase powder in the cladding layer to be dispersed or piled up due to the difference in mass density, which affects the quality and mechanical properties of the coating; 3. Under the convection of the molten pool generated by laser cladding, due to the low mass density of the solid lubricating powder in the cladding powder, the solid lubricating powder is gathered in large quantities on the surface of the coating, and the lubricating phase cannot be completely immersed in the coating, which is easy to be scraped off and other technical problems, and a method for preparing a self-lubricating composite coating by prefabricating solid lubricating powder is provided. The present invention mainly pre-places the solid lubricating powder on the surface of the workpiece, and then uses ultra-high-speed cladding to clad the cladding powder formed by mixing the matrix powder and the hard phase powder to the position of the pre-placed solid powder on the workpiece to prepare a self-lubricating composite coating with good friction reduction and wear resistance.

[0007] The technical means adopted by the present invention are as follows:

[0008] A method for preparing a self-lubricating composite coating by prefabricating solid lubricating powder comprises the following steps:

[0009] 1) Pre-treat the workpiece surface: Use a grinder to roughly grind the workpiece surface, rinse it with water, and then ultrasonically clean it in anhydrous ethanol. After cleaning, dry it for later use;

[0010] 2) Prefabricate solid lubricating powder on the surface of the workpiece: Prefabricate solid lubricating powder on the surface of the workpiece;

[0011] 3) Preparation of cladding powder: mixing the matrix powder with the hard phase powder to prepare cladding powder, and drying the powder;

[0012] 4) Preheat the workpiece: Preheat the workpiece before ultra-high-speed cladding;

[0013] 5) Ultra-high-speed laser cladding: Under the protective gas state, a laser is used to perform ultra-high-speed cladding of the cladding powder prepared in step 3) at the position where the solid lubricating powder is preset.

[0014] Furthermore, the workpiece is a rotating part with requirements on dimensional accuracy and surface quality.

[0015] Furthermore, the requirement for rough grinding the workpiece with a grinder and polisher in step 1) is to remove the oxide film on the surface of the workpiece and to eliminate any coarse scratches on the surface of the workpiece.

[0016] Furthermore, the solid lubricating powder in step 2) can be divided into: soft metals, metal compounds, inorganic substances and organic substances according to the basic raw materials;

[0017] Furthermore, soft metals are metals with a relatively soft texture, including: Pb, Sn, hl, Ag, Zn;

[0018] Further, metal compounds include: MoS2, Pb02, Fe304, CaF2, BF3;

[0019] Further, inorganic substances include: graphite, graphite fluoride, and BN having a layered crystal structure;

[0020] Furthermore, organic substances include: thermoplastic resins, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyethylene, and nylon.

[0021] Furthermore, the method is characterized in that:

[0022] The method of prefabricating the solid lubricating powder on the surface of the workpiece in step 2) includes: bonding method and spraying method;

[0023] Furthermore, the bonding method refers to mixing alloy powders together with various adhesives at room temperature, and applying them on the metal surface to be treated in a paste or paste form by mechanical or manual brushing. It is simple and flexible and does not require any equipment. However, the adhesive of the coating is decomposed by heat during the cladding process, which will produce a certain amount of gas. During the rapid solidification and crystallization of the cladding layer, it is easy to be retained inside the cladding layer to form pores.

[0024] Furthermore, the spraying method is to heat the coating material to a molten or semi-molten state, accelerate it under the atomizing gas and obtain a certain kinetic energy, and spray it onto the surface of the part. It has less contamination on the substrate surface and the coating, but requires additional equipment and is difficult to process.

[0025] Further, the adhesives used in the bonding method include: varnish, silicate glue, water glass, oxygenated cellulose ether, cellulose acetate, alcohol rosin solution, hydrocarbon solution, fatty oil, B2 glue;

[0026] Furthermore, the adhesive will decompose when heated and produce gas, which can easily affect the organizational structure of the cladding layer. Therefore, it is necessary to preheat the workpiece before cladding to decompose the adhesive.

[0027] Furthermore, the spraying method includes: flame spraying, plasma arc spraying, and arc spraying.

[0028] Furthermore, the matrix powder in step 3) is a self-fluxing alloy powder, including iron-based (Fe), nickel-based (Ni), and cobalt-based (Co) alloy powders; it can improve the wettability of the melt to the matrix metal, improve the process forming performance of the cladding layer, and has good adaptability to various substrates such as carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel, and cast steel;

[0029] Furthermore, the hard phase powder in step 3) can enhance the comprehensive mechanical properties of the coating, such as microhardness and wear resistance, and includes: tungsten carbide powder, titanium carbide powder, and nano-diamond powder;

[0030] Furthermore, the matrix powder and the hard phase powder in step 3) are mixed by manual mixing and uniform mixing; mechanical mixing, using mechanical equipment to mix the powders, including a grinder, a ball mill, a two-dimensional or three-dimensional mixer;

[0031] Furthermore, the cladding powder in step 3) is required to meet the required use requirements, including: high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and oxidation resistance; good solid fluidity; thermal expansion coefficient and thermal conductivity close to the workpiece material; good wettability; and good cladding processability.

[0032] Furthermore, in step 4), the workpiece is preheated to 200-400°C to enable the binder used to function and prevent contamination of the cladding layer; at the same time, it prevents cracks in the workpiece due to excessive temperature gradients during ultra-high-speed cladding. The appropriate preheating temperature can be selected according to different binders and substrates.

[0033] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0034] 1. The method for preparing a self-lubricating composite coating by using prefabricated solid lubricating powder provided by the present invention adds a lubricating phase to the cladding layer, thereby ensuring the hardness of the coating and reducing the friction coefficient, thereby preparing a self-lubricating coating with anti-friction properties;

[0035] 2. The method for preparing a self-lubricating composite coating by prefabricating solid lubricating powder provided by the present invention pre-places the solid lubricating powder on the surface of the substrate, and utilizes the molten pool convection effect generated by laser cladding to make the lubricating powder enter the cladding layer, thereby ensuring the self-lubricating effect of the cladding layer during the friction process, and avoiding the phenomenon that the lubricating phase agglomerates on the coating surface in large quantities due to the large difference in mass density between the solid lubricating powder and the hard phase powder, and cannot be completely distributed in the coating, and is easily scraped off;

[0036] 3. The method for preparing a self-lubricating composite coating by prefabricated solid lubricating powder provided by the present invention pre-places the solid lubricating powder on the surface of a substrate and then performs ultra-high-speed cladding, thereby reducing the contact between the solid lubricating powder and the air, allowing the lubricating powder decomposed at high temperature to be regenerated in a closed space as the temperature decreases, avoiding reaction with other substances, retaining more lubricating phases, and making the cladding layer have very good friction and wear resistance.

[0037] 4. The cladding layer prepared by the method for preparing a self-lubricating composite coating with prefabricated solid lubricating powder provided by the present invention can achieve the following: bonding strength with the substrate ≥400MPa; coating surface hardness ≥700HV; wear resistance is more than 2.5 times higher than that of H13 steel; and the friction and wear performance of the surface lubricating coating is more than 30% higher than that of the traditional coating.

[0038] In summary, the technical solution of the present invention solves the problems in the prior art that: 1. The increase in the hardness of the coating leads to an increase in the friction coefficient, which increases the wear of the coating and reduces the service life of the coating; 2. The conventional laser cladding method for preparing self-lubricating coatings will cause the solid lubricating powder and the hard phase powder in the cladding layer to be dispersed or piled up due to the difference in mass density, which affects the quality and mechanical properties of the coating; 3. Under the convection of the molten pool generated by laser cladding, due to the low mass density of the solid lubricating powder in the cladding powder, the solid lubricating powder is accumulated in large quantities on the surface of the coating, the lubricating phase cannot be completely immersed in the coating, and is easily scraped off.
