Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of glaze technology, specifically relating to a FeNiCrAl-based multi-principal-element alloy transparent glaze and its glazing process. Background Technology
[0002] Glaze is a colorless or colored glassy thin layer covering the surface of an object. The glaze layer increases the mechanical strength of the product, beautifies the object, and gives it resistance to acids and alkalis, as well as wear. Currently, the glaze used on metal surfaces is mainly enamel glaze. Enamel glaze is a glaze layer that is coated on metal blanks such as steel, cast iron, aluminum, copper, and stainless steel, and after firing, it can firmly bond with the metal blank. Because metal and glaze are two different substances with a large difference in their coefficients of thermal expansion, one method of enamel glaze preparation is to first apply an opaque base glaze as a transition layer on the metal substrate to reduce the stress between the metal and the top glaze, and then apply the top glaze to give the product a smooth and beautiful surface. Alternatively, a one-time enamel coating process can be used, where the glaze serves as both a base glaze and a top glaze, applied and fired in one step. Due to the presence of the base glaze, these methods lack the translucency of porcelain glaze. Furthermore, the firing time is relatively long, generally requiring 3-5 hours, which greatly restricts production efficiency.
[0003] FeNiCrAl-based multi-principal element alloys are a novel structural material characterized by high strength, high hardness, high wear resistance, and high corrosion resistance. Compared to traditional alloys, the different phase composition and microstructure of FeNiCrAl-based multi-principal element alloys limit their glaze preparation. This is mainly because the alloy is composed of FCC (L12) and B2 (BCC) phases. The FCC phase is mainly rich in Fe and Cr elements, while the B2 phase is mainly rich in Ni and Al elements. The difference in the composition of the two phases and their different coefficients of thermal expansion easily cause the glaze to peel off, and existing glazes and processes cannot meet production requirements. Therefore, it is essential to study the glaze composition and glazing process of FeNiCrAl-based multi-principal element alloys. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a FeNiCrAl-based multi-principal alloy transparent glaze and its glazing process. The glaze of this invention is applicable to two-phase multi-principal alloys, has a simple manufacturing process, a simple glazing process, and the alloy can be fired in one step without pretreatment, exhibiting high operability. The glaze layer has strong adhesion to the alloy, and can solve the problem of glaze layer cracking and peeling on the surface of multi-principal alloys due to the difference in composition between the two phases.
[0005] The present invention is specifically implemented through the following technical solution.
[0006] This invention provides a FeNiCrAl-based multi-principal-element alloy transparent glaze, made from the following components:
[0007] An aqueous solution of inorganic oxides, hollow glass microspheres, barium oxide, and sodium silicate, wherein the mass ratio of the inorganic oxides, hollow glass microspheres, barium oxide, and sodium silicate aqueous solution is 1–10: 0.1–3: 0.5–4: 2–16;
[0008] In an aqueous solution of sodium silicate, the mixing ratio of sodium silicate to water is 5–15 g: 10–50 mL.
[0009] Furthermore, the hollow glass microspheres have a density of 0.15 g / cc and are pure white in color.
[0010] Furthermore, the purity of barium oxide is 90.00% to 99.99%.
[0011] Furthermore, the sodium silicate modulus is 1–2.2, and the purity is analytical grade.
[0012] Furthermore, the inorganic oxides are a combination of silicon dioxide, boron trioxide, sodium oxide, potassium oxide, lithium oxide, zinc oxide, zirconium dioxide, aluminum oxide, titanium dioxide, and F2O, with an analytical purity.
[0013] This invention provides a glazing process for transparent glazes on FeNiCrAl-based multi-principal-element alloys, comprising the following steps:
[0014] S1. Weigh the raw materials according to the following proportions: the mixed mass ratio of inorganic oxide, hollow glass microspheres, barium oxide and sodium silicate aqueous solution is 1-10:0.1-3:0.5-4:2-16; in the sodium silicate aqueous solution, the mixing ratio of sodium silicate and water is 5-15g:10-50mL.
[0015] S2. Mix the inorganic oxide, hollow glass microspheres, barium oxide and sodium silicate aqueous solution weighed in S1 evenly to prepare the glaze;
[0016] S3. The glaze prepared in S2 is uniformly coated onto the surface of the preheated FeNiCrAl-based multi-principal-element alloy.
[0017] S4. Solidify the alloy treated in S3;
[0018] S5. The alloy treated with S4 can be fired at 1000-1300℃.
[0019] Furthermore, coating methods can include dipping, swishing, pouring, brushing, and spraying.
[0020] Furthermore, in S3, the alloy is polished and then preheated at a temperature of 30–70°C for 5–30 minutes.
[0021] Furthermore, in S4, the curing temperature is 25–70°C, and the curing time is 5–60 min.
[0022] Furthermore, in S5, the firing time is 5 to 60 minutes.
[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0024] The glaze and glazing process provided by this invention involve mixing inorganic oxides, hollow glass microspheres, barium oxide, and sodium silicate aqueous solution in a certain proportion, then applying the mixture to heated metal, curing, and firing to obtain a uniform glaze layer. The preheating and curing processes of the glaze and alloy play a crucial role in the preparation of the glaze layer. Preheating ensures rapid drying of the glaze near the metal surface during glazing, solving the problem of poor local wetting. Curing ensures the glaze dries and solidifies on the metal surface, solving the problem of high glaze fluidity and easy detachment. This glaze and glazing process can solve the problem of glaze cracking and detachment during cooling in dual-phase FeNiCrAl multi-principal alloys due to the difference in composition between the two phases. The glaze layer exhibits strong adhesion to the substrate, a noticeable gloss, and excellent performance.
[0025] Hollow microspheres, as a type of hollow glass microsphere filling material, possess characteristics such as low density, good stability, and corrosion resistance. Due to their lightweight and hollow nature, they can act as stress buffers, mitigating the tensile or compressive stress caused by the difference in expansion coefficients between the metal and the glaze layer during cooling, which can lead to glaze cracking or detachment. As stress release centers, hollow microspheres transfer and release stress from the metal or glaze layer, balancing the stresses of both and thus solving the problem of glaze detachment. Meanwhile, barium oxide has a fluxing effect, improving the gloss of the glaze and expanding the firing range; it can be used as a stabilizer and flux in glazes. Sodium silicate, as a soluble mineral binder, can be coated on metal surfaces to increase wettability and the bonding force between the metal matrix and the glaze, forming alkali metal silicate and gel films.

[0035] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand and implement the technical solutions of the present invention, the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. However, the embodiments described are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0036] Unless otherwise specified, the experimental and detection methods described in the following embodiments are conventional methods; unless otherwise specified, the reagents and materials are commercially available.
[0037] The hollow microspheres were purchased from Foshan Lanling Chemical Co., Ltd., model S15, with a density of 0.15 g / cc and a pure white color.
[0038] Barium oxide was purchased from Beijing Innocare Technology Co., Ltd., with a purity of 90.00% to 99.99%.
[0039] Sodium silicate was purchased from Beijing Innocare Technology Co., Ltd., with a modulus of 1–2.2, and was of analytical grade.
[0040] The inorganic oxides are a combination of silicon dioxide, boron trioxide, sodium oxide, potassium oxide, lithium oxide, zinc oxide, zirconium dioxide, aluminum oxide, titanium dioxide, and F2O, with an analytical purity.
[0041] For FeNiCrAl-based multi-principal alloys, which are composed of FCC (L12) and B2 (BCC) phases, the FCC phase is mainly rich in Fe and Cr elements, while the B2 phase is mainly rich in Ni and Al elements. The difference in composition and expansion coefficient between the two phases easily causes glaze peeling, and existing glazes and processes cannot meet production requirements. Therefore, this invention provides a transparent glaze for FeNiCrAl-based multi-principal alloys and its glazing process, improving both the glaze composition and the glazing process:
[0042] Regarding the glaze composition, inorganic oxides, hollow glass microspheres, barium oxide, and sodium silicate aqueous solution were selected. Hollow microspheres can alleviate the problem of glaze cracking or detachment caused by tensile or compressive stress due to the difference in the expansion coefficients of the metal and glaze layer during cooling. As stress release centers, the hollow microspheres transfer and release stress from the metal or glaze layer, balancing the stresses of both and thus solving the problem of glaze detachment. Meanwhile, barium oxide has a fluxing effect, improving the gloss of the glaze and expanding the firing range; it can be used as a stabilizer and flux in the glaze. Sodium silicate, as a soluble mineral binder, can be coated on the metal surface to increase wettability and the bonding force between the metal matrix and the glaze, forming an alkali metal silicate and gel film.
[0043] In terms of the glazing process, inorganic oxides, hollow glass microspheres, barium oxide, and sodium silicate aqueous solution are mixed in a certain proportion. Then, heated metal is glazed, cured, and fired to obtain a uniform glaze layer. It is important to note that the preheating and curing processes of the glaze and alloy play a crucial role in the preparation of the glaze layer. Preheating ensures rapid drying of the glaze near the metal surface during glazing, solving the problem of poor local wetting. Curing ensures the glaze dries and sets on the metal surface, solving the problem of high glaze fluidity and easy detachment. This glaze and glazing process can solve the problem of glaze cracking and detachment during cooling in dual-phase FeNiCrAl multi-principal alloys due to the difference in composition between the two phases. The glaze layer has strong adhesion to the substrate, obvious gloss, and good results.

The left image shows the glaze layer without preheating, while the right image shows the glaze layer after preheating. It can be seen that the glaze layer without preheating is uneven, exhibiting poor film formation in some areas. This demonstrates that preheating plays a crucial role in glaze preparation. Preheating ensures rapid drying of the glaze layer near the metal surface during glazing, resolving the problem of poor local wetting.
