Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of surface treatment of incineration boiler tubes, and in particular relates to a spraying material for the heated surface of a garbage incineration boiler tube and a spraying process thereof. Background Art

[0002] By burning garbage in a waste incineration boiler and transferring heat energy through the boiler tubes to heat water, generating steam that drives a generator to generate electricity, the waste can be quickly and harmlessly treated and fully reused. In addition to the high-temperature and high-pressure resistance required of ordinary boilers, the incineration process produces large amounts of corrosive gases due to the unstable calorific value of garbage and incomplete combustion, which in turn causes high-temperature corrosion in the pipes. Furthermore, small solid particles that are incompletely or unable to be incinerated during the waste incineration process will move within the boiler with the high-temperature airflow, continuously impacting the boiler tube walls, causing the coating to fall off and fail, which to a certain extent reduces the pipe's service life.

[0003] To extend the service life of waste incineration boiler pipes, a protective coating needs to be sprayed onto the heated surfaces. Currently, nickel-based alloys (such as NiCr and NiCrAl) are commonly used as surface coatings for metal substrates both domestically and internationally. However, while these coatings offer strong corrosion resistance, they are relatively expensive and are generally used in industries such as aerospace and petroleum for precision components requiring fatigue resistance, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and high temperature resistance. Iron-based alloy powders also offer considerable wear resistance and are relatively inexpensive. Their application in protective coatings for waste incineration boiler pipes would be highly cost-effective.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a low-cost, high-corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant coating for the heating surface of waste incineration boiler pipes using iron-based alloy powder to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the above-mentioned prior art, the present invention proposes an iron-nickel-based alloy spraying material for the heated surface of a waste incineration boiler tube. The alloy coating is composed of an irregular, fine lamellar eutectic structure rich in AlNi-B2 phase and Fe-FCC phase, has high strength and corrosion resistance, and solves the problem of high cost of existing nickel-based coating alloys.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0009] S2, Si powder and B powder are mixed with the iron-nickel alloy single substance raw material, and Ni is obtained after ball milling. 38-42 -Fe 28-32 -Co 19-23 -Al 7-11 Iron-nickel alloy mixed powder, wherein the amount of Si powder and B powder is 0.4-0.6% of the total mass of the iron-nickel alloy single substance raw material;

[0010] S3, for you 38-42 -Fe 28-32 -Co 19-23 -Al 7-11 After the iron-nickel alloy mixed powder is dried, it is mixed with a binder and pre-placed on the heated surface substrate of the waste incineration boiler tube. The pre-coating is dried and preheated before cladding treatment;

[0011] S4. Performing aging treatment on the cladding-completed waste incineration boiler tube to obtain the surface spraying material.

[0012] By partially replacing the more expensive Ni in existing nickel-based alloys with inexpensive Fe, this invention further improves wear resistance while maintaining corrosion resistance and significantly reduces raw material costs. Furthermore, the laser cladding process used in this invention allows the material to adhere to the heated surface of waste incineration boiler tubes. This results in a product that is free of pores, cracks, and component segregation, while also offering low processing costs, potentially addressing the high cost of existing nickel-based coating alloys.

[0013] Preferably, calculated by mass percentage, Ni: 38.0-40.0%, Fe: 30.0-32.0%, Co: 20.0%, and Al: 10.0%.

[0015] Preferably, the drying process in step S3 is carried out for 8 to 12 hours at a temperature of 70 to 90°C.

[0017] Preferably, the aging treatment in step S4 is performed at a temperature of 400-640° C. for 96-144 hours.

[0018] Preferably, the thickness of the pre-coating layer in step S3 is 1-1.8 mm.

[0019] Preferably, the adhesive in step S3 is selected from epoxy resin adhesive.

[0020] Preferably, the purity of the Al, Co, Fe, and Ni metal element raw materials in step S1 is ≥ 99.9 wt.%.

[0021] Preferably, in step S3, the pre-coating layer is dried at 90-100° C. and preheated for 30-60 minutes before the cladding process is performed.

[0023] The second aspect of the present invention provides a spraying material for the heated surface of a waste incineration boiler tube prepared by the spraying process described in the first aspect.
