BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
[0017] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a structural schematic diagram of the composite coating for the surface of a TiAl alloy substrate according to an embodiment of the application.
[0018] Figure 2 This is a cross-sectional morphology diagram of the composite coating prepared in Example 1 of the present invention.
[0019] The realization of the objective, functional features and advantages of the present invention will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation
[0020] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
[0021] The powertrain is the core system of a vehicle, and its importance is self-evident. With increasing demands for powertrain performance and energy conservation and emission reduction, higher combustion temperatures and detonation pressures place more stringent requirements on the high-temperature strength and wear resistance of key hot-end components (such as high-temperature exhaust valves). Valves made from traditional alloy steel and nickel-based high-temperature alloys face significant challenges in the increasingly demanding operating conditions of high-power-density powertrains due to their high density, insufficient high-temperature strength, and inadequate wear resistance.
[0022] γ-TiAl intermetallic compounds (hereinafter referred to as TiAl alloys) possess high specific strength and specific modulus, as well as excellent resistance to high-temperature fatigue, creep, and oxidation corrosion. They are highly competitive structural materials in the fields of aerospace, advanced ships, and military aircraft engines. Practice has proven that engine valves made of TiAl alloys can not only reduce weight and extend service life, but also reduce fuel consumption and improve engine reliability. However, the working environment of the moving friction components of the cylinder head valve bores / valve is extremely harsh, subjected to high temperature and high pressure for extended periods, and also subjected to high-frequency alternating impact loads. The TiAl alloy matrix has defects such as low hardness and poor wear resistance, which limits the application of TiAl alloy parts under impact wear and high-temperature friction conditions. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the wear resistance and friction reduction properties of TiAl alloys.
[0023] Currently, the technical means commonly used to enhance the wear resistance of titanium alloy surfaces can be divided into the following two categories: the first category is surface modification or strengthening technology, such as carburizing, which is further subdivided into gas carburizing, laser carburizing, plasma carburizing, micro-arc oxidation, etc.; the second category is surface coating technology, such as spraying, vapor deposition, etc.
[0024] Carburizing processes can significantly improve the surface hardness and wear resistance of titanium alloys by forming a carburized layer (with TiC hard phase as the main wear-resistant component). Currently, commonly used carburizing techniques for titanium alloy surfaces include gas carburizing, laser carburizing, and plasma carburizing. However, in gas carburizing, the titanium alloy is completely exposed to the atmosphere. Due to the high affinity between oxygen and titanium, a dense oxide layer easily forms, hindering further diffusion of carbon atoms and limiting the thickness of the carburized layer. Plasma carburizing, with its vacuum processing conditions, avoids the formation of an oxide film and hydrogen embrittlement caused by hydrogen entering the matrix. It also yields a deeper carburized layer with a higher TiC concentration and a shorter carburizing cycle. Its main disadvantages are the need for vacuum equipment and plasma generation devices, resulting in higher costs.
[0025] This invention provides a composite coating for the surface of a TiAl alloy substrate. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a composite coating used on the surface of a TiAl alloy substrate, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the composite coating comprises a first adhesion-enhancing layer 2, a first transition layer 3, a high-temperature wear-resistant layer 4, a second transition layer 5, a second adhesion-enhancing layer 6, and a wear-resistant lubricating layer 7, sequentially attached to the surface of the TiAl alloy substrate 1. The thickness of all the above-mentioned film layers can be controlled within 5 μm.
[0026] The first adhesion enhancement layer 2 can be a TiAl layer with a thickness of 100nm-200nm. The composition of the first adhesion enhancement layer 2 is similar to that of the substrate 1, although there may be slight differences in the ratio of Ti and Al elements. Due to the similar composition, the first adhesion enhancement layer 2 and the substrate 1 have a strong interfacial bond, which can prevent the coating from peeling off and play a supporting role for other outer layers.
[0027] The first transition layer 3 can be an N-doped TiAl layer, denoted as a TiAl(N) layer. Its main structure remains a TiAl alloy, and its thickness is in the range of 200nm-300nm, for example, 200nm, 250nm, or 300nm. Compared to the first adhesion enhancement layer 2, the first transition layer 3 has increased N atom doping in its composition. Besides having a strong interfacial bond with the first adhesion enhancement layer 2, it also connects to the high-temperature wear-resistant layer 4, serving as a compositional transition layer. The N atom doping concentration in the first transition layer 3 can gradually increase outwards along the surface of the substrate 1, forming a concentration gradient and enhancing the adhesion to the high-temperature wear-resistant layer 4.
[0028] The high-temperature wear-resistant layer 4 can be a TiAlN layer with a thickness of 3000nm-4000nm, for example, 3000nm, 3500nm, or 4000nm. The TiAlN coating, with a composition similar to that of the TiAl alloy, exhibits excellent high-temperature wear resistance. The TiAlN coating is a ternary coating developed based on the TiN coating, and it has high compatibility with the TiAl substrate. TiAlN and TiN share the same B1-type NaCl structure, possessing excellent properties such as high hot hardness, good oxidation stability, strong adhesion, and low thermal conductivity. The thickness of the high-temperature wear-resistant layer is relatively large compared to other film layers, allowing it to fully exert its wear-resistant effect under high-temperature environments and providing protection for the TiAl alloy substrate.
[0029] The second transition layer 5 can be an N-doped TiCr layer, denoted as a TiCr(N) layer, with a thickness in the range of 200 nm to 1000 nm, for example, 200 nm, 600 nm, or 1000 nm. The second transition layer 5 has a similar composition to the second adhesion enhancement layer 6, but with increased N atom doping, it connects the high-temperature wear-resistant layer 4 and the second adhesion enhancement layer 6, enhancing the adhesion between them. The N atom doping concentration in the second transition layer 5 can gradually decrease outwards from the surface of the substrate 1, forming a concentration gradient.
[0030] The second adhesion enhancement layer 6 can be a TiCr layer with a thickness in the range of 200nm-1000nm, for example, 200nm, 600nm or 1000nm. The second adhesion enhancement layer 6 forms a strong interfacial bond with the wear-resistant lubricating layer, tightly connecting the outermost wear-resistant lubricating layer 7 in the composite coating, effectively supporting the wear-resistant lubricating layer 7.
[0031] The wear-resistant lubricating layer 7 can be a silicon-doped diamond-like carbon (DLC) layer with a thickness ranging from 1000 nm to 4000 nm, for example, 1000 nm, 2500 nm, or 4000 nm. TiAlN coatings, as nitride coatings, have a relatively high coefficient of friction and are slightly weaker in lubrication compared to carbon films. There are many types of carbon film coatings, with DLC coatings being the most typical example. DLC coatings are excellent candidates for wear-resistant lubricating coatings due to their high hardness and low coefficient of friction. DLC coatings combine the properties of diamond (Si)... 3 ) structure and graphite (sp 2 Amorphous carbon films with a structure of ) can be controlled by adjusting sp 3 / sp 2By adjusting ratios, coating microstructure, and doping methods, the coating hardness (~5GPa to ~80GPa), elastic modulus, and tribological properties under different environments (atmosphere, high humidity, inert gas, high vacuum, water or other media, various atmospheres, etc.) can be controlled within a wide range. This results in coatings with excellent comprehensive properties such as good toughness, controllable hardness and elastic modulus, low coefficient of friction, good wear resistance, good chemical stability, and high film-substrate adhesion strength. Doping DLC coatings with Si can further enhance their high-temperature resistance.
[0032] This invention, based on a DLC coating exhibiting super-lubricating properties, ingeniously proposes a six-layer composite thin-film structure design consisting of an adhesion-enhancing layer, a first transition layer, a high-temperature wear-resistant layer, a second transition layer, a second adhesion-enhancing layer, and a wear-resistant lubricating layer. After applying this coating to TiAl alloy, the average friction coefficient obtained from room-temperature friction experiments using grinding balls of different materials at atmospheric room temperature is significantly reduced. Furthermore, the wear rate of the coating is extremely low (estimated to be below 10%) for the various friction pair materials used. -17 m 3 The coefficient of friction ( / Nm) is superior to most wear rate technical indicators on the market. In particular, when used with Ti6Al4V, it exhibits the lowest and most stable coefficient of friction (among several friction pair materials).
[0033] The composite coating of this invention is doped with Si in the wear-resistant lubricating layer. It is expected to exhibit good wear resistance and friction reduction properties in the temperature range of room temperature to 400-450℃, which can significantly extend the service life of the DLC coating. This provides a design scheme to enhance wear resistance and extend service life for solid lubrication of TiAl alloys under different environments.
[0034] The composite coating of this invention can be used not only for space-based moving mechanisms, but also for ground-based moving parts, as well as in civilian fields such as the automotive industry, processing and manufacturing industry, transportation industry, and shipbuilding industry. It has great application value for reducing friction and energy consumption, improving energy efficiency, and reducing exhaust emissions in civilian industrial moving parts and mechanisms.
[0035] This invention also provides a method for preparing a composite coating on the surface of a TiAl alloy substrate. The method includes: placing the TiAl alloy substrate in a sputtering area, selecting a suitable target material with a purity higher than 99.99%, and sequentially performing high-power pulsed magnetron sputtering on the surface of the TiAl alloy substrate to form a first adhesion enhancement layer, a first transition layer, a high-temperature wear-resistant layer, a second transition layer, a second adhesion enhancement layer, and a wear-resistant lubricating layer.
[0036] All of the above functional layers can be fabricated using HiPIMS (High Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering) technology, with the background vacuum level in the vacuum chamber during deposition being less than or equal to 1 × 10⁻⁶. -3 The total deposition time was 1.5 hours, and the thickness of each layer was controlled by adjusting the deposition time of each layer. The first adhesion-enhancing layer was prepared using Ti and Al targets. The first transition layer also used Ti and Al targets, and was sputtered in a nitrogen atmosphere with a purity greater than or equal to 99.999%. The high-temperature wear-resistant layer used Ti and Al targets, and was sputtered in a nitrogen atmosphere with a purity greater than or equal to 99.999%. The second transition layer used Ti and Cr targets, and was sputtered in a nitrogen atmosphere with a purity greater than or equal to 99.999%. The second adhesion-enhancing layer used Ti and Cr targets. The wear-resistant lubricating layer used graphite and Si targets.
[0037] The first transition layer, the high-temperature wear-resistant layer, and the second adhesion-enhancing layer can also be prepared using arc plating technology. The wear-resistant lubricating layer can also be prepared using PECVD (Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition) technology.
[0038] In some feasible embodiments, the first transition layer is deposited in a high-purity nitrogen atmosphere, and the nitrogen flow rate gradually increases during the deposition process; the high-temperature wear-resistant layer is deposited in a high-purity nitrogen atmosphere, and the nitrogen flow rate remains stable during the deposition process; the second transition layer is deposited in a high-purity nitrogen atmosphere, and the nitrogen flow rate gradually decreases during the deposition process. The nitrogen flow rate at the end of the deposition of the first transition layer can be the same as the nitrogen flow rate at the beginning of the deposition of the high-temperature wear-resistant layer, and the nitrogen flow rate at the end of the deposition of the high-temperature wear-resistant layer can be the same as the nitrogen flow rate at the beginning of the deposition of the second transition layer.
[0039] The composite coating prepared in this embodiment provides good protection for the TiAl alloy substrate, improves the high-temperature wear resistance and friction reduction performance of the TiAl alloy substrate, thereby extending its service life. Each adhesion enhancement layer and transition layer can enhance the interfacial bonding force between film layers and prevent functional film layers from falling off, while the high-temperature wear-resistant layer and wear-resistant lubrication layer each play their wear-resistant and friction-reducing roles, giving the composite coating good comprehensive performance.
