Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of composite cutterhead slurry-water balanced pipe jacking machines, and in particular to a surface coating structure of a cutter head of a slurry-water balanced pipe jacking machine and a surface treatment method thereof. Background Art

[0002] A hard coating is a coating with a certain thickness and a microhardness of 20 GPa or higher. Due to its high hardness, low friction coefficient, and excellent high-temperature and corrosion resistance, hard coatings are playing an increasingly important role in machining, mold manufacturing, geological drilling, the textile industry, and aerospace.

[0003] With the development of social economy, the improvement of infrastructure, and especially the accelerated urbanization process, the number of pipeline projects for the transmission of liquid and gaseous media crossing roads, rivers, and buildings in and outside cities is increasing, and trenchless technology has been widely used. Slurry-balanced pipe jacking is a mechanical and automated pipe jacking construction method that cuts the soil through the entire cross-section, balances the soil pressure and groundwater pressure with slurry pressure, and uses slurry as the medium for conveying waste soil. Slurry-balanced pipe jacking machines have the advantages of adapting to a wide range of soil layers, having a stable excavation surface, and minimal ground settlement. They are highly adaptable in large and medium-sized pipelines crossing roads, rivers, and other pipeline projects, and therefore have been widely used. Slurry-balanced pipe jacking machines use water to convey waste soil media. During the excavation process, the cutters on the cutterhead fracture and scrape the rock and soil in front, making them key components for realizing the excavation function of the composite cutterhead slurry-balanced pipe jacking machine.

[0004] Slurry pipe jacking machines encounter a variety of complex strata during construction, especially in composite strata. The forces acting on the cutterhead during excavation are quite complex, which can easily cause wear on the cutter and cutterhead, seriously affecting excavation efficiency, construction quality, and project costs. Therefore, how to extend the service life of the cutterhead and reduce the frequency of work stoppages for cutter replacement are currently key challenges in slurry pipe jacking operations.

[0005] Numerous studies have been conducted both domestically and internationally to improve the wear and impact resistance of cutting heads and extend their service life. Currently, the most widely used method is to improve these properties through surface modification. For example, chemical heat treatment, electrochemical treatment, or thermal spraying can be used to coat the cutting head surface with a coating, thereby improving the wear resistance of the substrate surface. However, thermal spraying and chemical heat treatment processes have drawbacks such as high process requirements, thin coatings, a lack of metallurgical bonding between the substrate and the coating, and the coating being easily worn away.

[0006] The existing slurry balance pipe jacking machine cutter head has poor overall strength and wear resistance, which reduces its service life. To this end, we propose a slurry balance pipe jacking machine cutter head surface coating structure and a surface treatment method thereof. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In order to solve the problems of poor overall strength and wear resistance and short service life of the existing composite cutter head of a slurry-water balanced pipe jacking machine, the present application provides a surface coating structure of the cutter head of a slurry-water balanced pipe jacking machine and a surface treatment method thereof.

[0008] The surface coating structure of the cutter head of a slurry-water balanced pipe jacking machine provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0009] A surface coating structure of a cutter head for a slurry-water balancing pipe jacking machine comprises, starting from the surface layer of a cutter head substrate, a zirconium alloy layer, a titanium alloy layer, a titanium carbide alloy layer and a nanocrystalline composite alloy layer; the thickness of the zirconium alloy layer is 0.5 to 2 microns, the thickness of the titanium alloy layer is 0.5 to 1 micron, the thickness of the titanium carbide alloy layer is 1 to 5 microns, the thickness of the nanocrystalline composite alloy layer is 10 to 50 microns, and the nanocrystalline composite alloy layer is a composite nanocrystalline powder laser cladding layer.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution and innovative coating structure design, the combination of metal substrate, zirconium alloy layer, titanium alloy layer, titanium carbide alloy layer and nanocrystalline composite alloy layer can greatly improve the bonding strength between the coating and the substrate, while eliminating the residual stress between the coatings, improving the oxidation resistance and anti-adhesion ability of the slurry balance pipe jacking machine cutter head, and the coating is not easy to fall off during use.

[0011] Preferably, the composite nanocrystalline powder is composed of nano-Al powder, nano-Co powder, nano-Si powder, nano-Mo powder, nano-WC powder, and nano-Al2O3 powder in a molar ratio of 0.2-0.7: 0.3-1.2: 0.1-0.5: 0.1-0.3: 0.3-1: 0.05-0.1.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution and selecting the composition and dosage relationship of the composite nanocrystalline powder, the matching problem between some components of the nanocrystalline composite alloy layer is solved, as well as the problems of obtaining ultra-high wear resistance and strength. First of all, tungsten carbide WC has the advantages of high melting point, high hardness, good chemical stability and good thermal stability. WC has good wettability with Co. Tungsten carbide WC dissolves in Co and forms a solid solution. Tungsten carbide WC has a tendency to grow unevenly during high-temperature deposition, forming fine grains, which play a role in wear-resistant core. WC particles are the main wear-resistant component and have a hardness comparable to that of diamond, while Co provides the toughness required for the nanocrystalline composite alloy layer. Nano Mo powder has high high-temperature strength and high-temperature hardness, good thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, and good corrosion resistance, etc., and has the function of improving the fluidity of the nanocrystalline composite alloy layer. Nano alumina has many excellent properties of ordinary alumina, such as high hardness, high strength, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, high temperature resistance, high insulation, and high oxidation resistance. With strong volume effect, quantum size effect, surface effect and macroscopic quantum tunneling effect, it is beneficial to enhance the strong bonding force and density of the nanocrystalline composite alloy layer; nano aluminum powder has the function of reducing the sintering temperature of the nanocrystalline composite alloy layer and increasing the density and thermal conductivity of the sintered body; nano Si powder increases the melting point, heat resistance and high resistivity of the nanocrystalline composite alloy layer and has a high antioxidant effect.

[0013] Preferably, the powder diameter of the nano-Al powder is 50 to 100 nanometers, the powder diameter of the nano-Co powder is 50 to 100 nanometers, the powder diameter of the nano-Si powder is 30 to 80 nanometers, the powder diameter of the nano-Mo powder is 50 to 100 nanometers, the powder diameter of the nano-WC powder is 50 to 100 nanometers, and the powder diameter of the nano-Al2O3 powder is 40 to 90 nanometers.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the powder particle size distribution of the composite nanocrystalline powder components is selected to solve the density of the nanocrystalline composite alloy layer. The powder particle size directly affects the powder transportation and heating conditions and the density of the coating. For materials with high melting point, high density and poor thermal conductivity, the use of finer powders, especially nanopowders, for the same heat source plays a key role in improving the density of the alloy layer. At the same time, it can greatly improve the strength and wear resistance of the nanocrystalline composite alloy layer.

[0073] By the above method, the surface coating structure of the cutter head of the slurry balance pipe jacking machine is obtained, which is a zirconium alloy layer, a titanium alloy layer, a titanium carbide alloy layer and a nanocrystalline composite alloy layer starting from the surface layer of the cutter head surface substrate; the thickness of the zirconium alloy layer is 1.3 microns, the thickness of the titanium alloy layer is 0.85 microns, the thickness of the titanium carbide alloy layer is 3.3 microns, and the thickness of the nanocrystalline composite alloy layer is 38 microns.

[0074] Comparative Example 1

[0075] The same as Preparation Example 3, except that the amount of nano WC powder added is 500g.

[0076] Comparative Example 2

[0077] The same as Preparation Example 3, except that the amount of nano WC powder added is 2300 g.

[0078] Comparative Example 3

[0079] The same as Preparation Example 3, except that the amount of nano-Al2O3 powder added is 40g.

[0080] Comparative Example 4

[0081] The same as Preparation Example 3, except that the amount of nano-Al2O3 powder added is 120g.

[0082] Performance Testing

[0083] The surface hardness and service life tests of the cutter heads of Preparation Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-4, as well as the control example, were not performed, and the data are shown in Table 1.

[0084] The hardness test was conducted as follows: the test sample was ground and polished, cleaned with anhydrous ethanol, and dried. The hardness was measured using a DHV1000Z digital micro-Vickers hardness tester. Ten points were selected on the test object, and three sets of indentation values ​​were measured using the hardness tester. The average hardness value was calculated. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0085] The service life is the actual time when the tool is severely worn and the outer surface of the tool body is seriously damaged, and the wear exceeds 10mm.

[0086] Table 1

[0087] Hardness / HRC Service life / hour Preparation Example 1 71 11450 Preparation Example 2 75 14633 Preparation Example 3 79 18050 Comparative Example 1 62 8524 Comparative Example 2 57 7208 Comparative Example 3 63 8350 Comparative Example 4 55 7309 Control Example 38 3656

[0088] As can be seen from Table 1, the obtained high wear-resistant and high-strength coating has a hardness of 71-79HRC through testing, which is improved by 1.87-2.08 times, and the service life is increased by 3.13-4.94 times.

[0089] By comparing Preparation Example 3 with Comparative Examples 1 and 2, it can be concluded that when the amount of nano WC powder added is 500g, its hardness decreases significantly from 79HRC to 62HRC, and its service life is greatly reduced. When the amount of nano WC powder added is 2300g, its hardness decreases significantly from 79HRC to 57HRC, and its service life is greatly reduced.

[0090] By comparing Preparation Example 3 with Comparative Examples 3 and 4, it can be concluded that when the amount of nano-Al2O3 powder added is 40g, its hardness drops significantly from 79HRC to 63HRC, and its service life is greatly reduced. When the amount of nano-Al2O3 powder added is 120g, its hardness drops significantly from 79HRC to 55HRC, and its service life is greatly reduced.

[0091] The above are all preferred embodiments and preparation examples of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. The above are only preferred implementation methods of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
