Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of sprayed coating, and particularly relates to a method for repairing a damaged wear-resistant coating sprayed on a metal material surface. BACKGROUND
[0002] Spraying is a solid additive manufacturing process that uses kinetic energy from a pressurized gas stream to deposit metal and non-metal powders onto a substrate. When the particles collide with the underlying material, the intense plastic deformation causes the particles to eject along the edges, and the destruction of the thin oxide layer along the interface allows clean surface metals to come into contact with each other, thereby promoting bonding through metallurgical and mechanical mechanisms. In recent years, with the continuous breakthroughs in equipment and materials, the continuous improvement and optimization of the spraying process, and the continuous improvement of the spraying quality, the spraying technology has been more widely applied in the engineering field.
[0003] Due to the continuous rise of modern mechanization, parts treated by surface spraying will fail due to wear and tear during long-term use. The laser repair technology can restore the performance of the parts, prolong the service life, reduce the life cycle cost, save raw materials, reduce environmental pollution, and form a new industry. Laser technology is widely used in repairing flat and shaft parts due to its low cost and high efficiency.
[0004] The repair of damaged coating parts first requires mechanical processing. Therefore, the machining of the damaged coating on the surface of the part is an important part of the repair technology and is indispensable. However, the machining of the coating is not the same as the machining of ordinary bulk materials. First, the bonding strength of the coating is limited, especially at the edge, which is a weak part that cannot withstand excessive cutting stress, and is prone to coating peeling or individual particle shedding due to improper machining. Second, the sprayed coating generally has high hardness and wear resistance, and the hard points and pores in the coating will cause the cutting force of machining to be in a vibration state, generating a large cutting force and cutting heat, causing abnormal wear of the cutting tool, and higher strength requirements for the cutting tool. Third, the coating is generally thin, and the machining allowance is small, so improper machining can easily cause size tolerance.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a more convenient method for completely removing the damaged coating and repairing it. SUMMARY
[0006] The technical problem solved by the present application is to provide a method for repairing a damaged wear-resistant coating sprayed on a metal material surface, in view of the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art.
[0007] To solve the above technical problem, the technical solution adopted by the present application is as follows:
[0008] Step one: clean and grit blast the surface of the metal material, then use spraying treatment to deposit a metal-based ceramic composite wear-resistant coating on the surface of the metal material to obtain a coated metal material;
[0009] Step two: use the coated metal material obtained in step one to obtain a coated metal material with damaged coating, then use high-low temperature cyclic thermal shock treatment to completely separate the mechanically bonded coating on the surface of the metal material to obtain a metal material with separated coating;
[0010] Step three: use laser cladding to prepare a new coating with the same composition as the wear-resistant coating in step one on the metal material with separated coating obtained in step two to complete the coating repair.
[0011] The present application cleans and grit blasts the surface of the metal material substrate to ensure stable connection between the metal-based ceramic composite wear-resistant coating and the metal material. The spraying treatment causes the spraying particle beam to collide with the surface of the metal material, and the collision-deformation-condensation-shrinkage-filling process is continuously carried out. The particles are bonded together layer by layer, and finally a metal-based ceramic composite wear-resistant coating with a certain thickness is deposited on the surface of the metal material. The coated metal material obtained by the present application is used in its applicable field. The coating will inevitably be damaged during use. The present application uses high-low temperature cyclic thermal shock treatment to completely separate the mechanically bonded coating on the surface of the metal material, thereby avoiding potential risks such as fatigue micro-cracks in the repaired coating. Then, a new coating with the same composition as the wear-resistant coating is prepared by laser cladding. The new coating repaired by laser has a uniform and dense structure, good use effect, low repair cost, and high reliability.
[0012] The application discloses a repairing method for a damaged wear-resistant coating sprayed on a metal material surface, and belongs to the technical field of metal material surface coating.
[0013] The application discloses a repairing method for a damaged wear-resistant coating sprayed on a metal material surface, and belongs to the technical field of metal material surface coating.
[0014] Step 101: placing the metal material with damaged coating into water at 90-100 DEG C and stopping for 30-180 seconds to obtain high-temperature treated material;
[0015] Step 102: immediately placing the high-temperature treated material obtained in step 101 into liquid nitrogen and stopping for 30-180 seconds to obtain low-temperature treated material;
[0016] Step 103: repeatedly performing steps 101 and 102 until the whole coating is largely peeled off. In the conventional cutting and grinding method for repairing damaged parts, the interface of the sprayed coating is mainly mechanically combined, and the thermal expansion coefficient difference between the surface metal ceramic composite coating and the metal bonding layer is used to cause the coating to be peeled off due to thermal stress. The principle is that, between the interface of the surface metal ceramic composite coating and the metal bonding layer, the coating volume expands less and is subjected to tensile stress, and the metal volume expands more and is subjected to compressive stress in the heating stage; in the cooling stage, the coating is subjected to compressive stress and the metal is subjected to tensile stress, and through repeated heating and cooling processes, the cyclic thermal stress in the coating is continuously accumulated, the original microcracks, pores and other defects at the interface are continuously extended and expanded, and finally the sprayed coating is largely and integrally peeled off.
[0017] The application discloses a repairing method for a damaged wear-resistant coating sprayed on a metal material surface, and belongs to the technical field of metal material surface coating.
[0018] Step 201: performing laser remelting treatment on the surface of the metal material with peeled-off coating to obtain laser remelted metal material;
[0019] Step 202, the laser remelting metal material obtained in step 201 is subjected to laser cladding in a synchronous powder feeding mode, and the parameters of the laser cladding meet: the laser power is 4000W-10000W, the positive defocusing is 10mm-20mm, the powder feeding rate is 20g / min-40g / min, the scanning speed is 450mm / min-1000mm / min, and the overlap rate is not less than 70%. The interface bonding mode is improved to metallurgical bonding by adopting the laser remelting treatment, the laser remelting layer is thin, has a flattening effect on the surface, the surface organization of the metal material is refined, then the laser cladding is adopted, the low heat input can be realized and any thickness can be realized, a dense coating is formed, and complete metallurgical bonding is achieved.
[0020] The above-mentioned method for repairing the damaged wear-resistant coating sprayed on the metal material surface, characterized in that, after the new coating of the same composition and metallurgical bonding is prepared on the metal material separated from the coating in step three, the new coating is mechanically processed. The new coating is mechanically processed after the new coating is prepared, so that the new coating returns to the original size and can continue to be used in the original field.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages:
[0022] 1. The present application adopts spraying treatment, and the plastic base is uniformly distributed with ceramic phases in the form of particles and with appropriate size, successfully realizing the combination of the advantages of metal and ceramic, preparing a new metal-based ceramic composite coating which has the advantages of metal strength and toughness, ceramic high-temperature resistance, wear resistance and corrosion resistance, and greatly widening the application range of metal materials and ceramic materials.
[0023] 2. Before repairing the damaged sprayed coating, the present application needs to clean the surface to remove the fatigue layer, but due to the uneven surface and high hardness, the machining difficulty is large, resulting in low processing efficiency and high cost. The high-low temperature oscillation experiment adopted in the present application can remove the damaged coating, and the method is simple and has strong practicability.
[0024] 3. Whether the damaged fatigue layer on the surface of the part is completely removed or not has an important influence on the reliability of subsequent repair. If the removal allowance is small, micro cracks may exist on the surface, and in the use process after the repair is completed, the hidden fatigue micro cracks may expand, resulting in coating failure. The high-low temperature oscillation experiment in the present application can effectively and naturally screen out hidden fatigue micro cracks and make them expand into macro cracks, so that the damaged coating naturally falls off, the damaged fatigue layer on the surface of the part can be completely removed, and the trend of crack formation of the new coating can be effectively reduced.
[0025] 4. This invention uses laser remelting combined with laser cladding to obtain a completely dense metallurgical bonding coating. The laser-repaired layer has a uniform and dense structure, is smooth and flat, has strong adhesion to the substrate, and has good wear resistance, increasing the reliability of metal material reuse. The wear-resistant coating repaired using this invention has good performance, low repair cost, and high reliability.
