Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of thermal spraying technology, and particularly relates to an HVAF spray gun structure suitable for stable spraying of iron-based amorphous coatings. Background Art

[0002] Iron-based amorphous materials possess a single, disordered amorphous structure, free from crystal defects such as dislocations and grain boundaries. Therefore, iron-based amorphous coatings exhibit excellent corrosion resistance. Furthermore, iron-based amorphous materials possess extremely high hardness and strength, and demonstrate outstanding aging resistance, impact resistance, and high-temperature resistance. They hold promise as a replacement for traditional resin-based anti-slip coatings for wear-resistant and anti-slip coatings on large ships.

[0003] The preparation processes for iron-based amorphous coatings include atmospheric plasma spraying (APS), arc spraying (AS), and high-velocity vapor deposition (HVAF and HVOF). Among these, HVAF spraying produces iron-based amorphous coatings with the best basic properties such as amorphous content, oxygen content, porosity, and bonding strength, exhibiting superior wear and corrosion resistance and demonstrating great application potential. However, due to the low melting point of iron-based amorphous materials, the particles melt within the combustion chamber and nozzle, resulting in high viscosity. Some molten particles collide with the inner walls of the combustion chamber and nozzle, adhering to the pipe walls and causing reduced deposition efficiency and spray gun malfunctions. Currently, mainstream HVAF spray guns on the market, such as Kermetico's AK7 spray gun and Uniquecoat's M3 and M2 spray guns, all exhibit significant clogging when continuously spraying iron-based amorphous powder for half an hour, limiting their application in actual industrial production.

[0010] In the HVAF spray gun structure described above, which is suitable for stable spraying of iron-based amorphous coatings, the M-thread at the rear end of the extended powder feeding needle is connected to the powder feeding tube.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0016] (1) This invention solves the technical problem that existing HVAF spray guns are prone to sticking to the gun barrel or combustion chamber when spraying iron-based amorphous powders; through technical approaches such as spray gun structure system design, gun barrel optimization, powder feeding needle size extension and sleeve spraying thermal barrier coating, an HVAF spray gun suitable for long-term stable spraying of iron-based amorphous coatings is prepared, which is easy to install and disassemble and has low maintenance cost.

The needle fixing nut 16 is fixed in the inner cavity of the gas mixer 15; the front end of the extended powder delivery needle 23 is connected to the fixing bracket 13, and the extended fixing sleeve 12 is sleeved on the outer surface of the fixing bracket 13, covering the front end of the extended powder delivery needle 23; the powder delivery needle fixing mandrel 22 is sleeved on the outer surface of the extended powder delivery needle 23, and the outer periphery of the powder delivery needle fixing mandrel 22 is connected to the rear cover 19 and the gas mixer 15 respectively; the front end of the gun body shell 10 is connected to the air chamber sleeve 3 through the sleeve locking screw 5; the front end of the air chamber sleeve 3 is connected to the gun barrel cooling sleeve 1; the M10 thread 21 at the rear end of the extended powder delivery needle 23 is connected to the powder delivery pipe.

[0029] Combustion gas enters through the gas input interface 27 on the rear cover 19, and enters the gas mixing chamber 26 through the first small hole on the gas dispersion isolator 18. It is then mixed evenly with the air entering through the air input hole 17 on the gas mixer 15. Finally, it enters the rear end of the combustion chamber 9 through the second small hole at the front end of the gas mixer 15, and is then smoothly transmitted to the inner cavity of the combustion chamber 9 through the evenly distributed third small holes on the isolation plate 14. After combustion, the combustion gas and air enter the gun barrel and are finally sprayed onto the surface of the substrate.

[0030] Compressed air is injected through the main air interface 4 on the air chamber sleeve 3 and fills the air cooling channel 29. Part of the compressed air cools the barrel 2 and the combustion chamber 9 and is discharged through the fourth small hole distributed at the front end of the barrel cooling sleeve 1; part of the compressed air enters the air inlet 17 as combustion-supporting gas; and another part of the compressed air enters the outer cavity of the extended powder delivery needle 23 through the powder delivery needle cooling gas channel 28 to cool the extended powder delivery needle 23.

[0031] The barrel 2 is located at the front end of the spray gun. The rear end of the barrel 2 is fixed to the front end of the combustion chamber 9 by the spray gun fixing screw 6 and the clamping washer 8. The spray gun fixing screw 6 mates with the four M6 screw holes 7 at the front end of the spray gun. The isolation plate 14 is located inside the rear end of the combustion chamber 9. The gas mixer 15 is assembled at the rear end of the combustion chamber 9 and clamps the isolation plate 14. The gas dispersion isolator 18 is fixed to the rear end of the gas mixer 15 and clamped by the rear cover 19. The rear cover 19 is connected to the gun body shell 10 by the rear cover locking screw ring 20. The extended powder delivery needle 23 passes through the center holes of the rear cover 19, the gas dispersion isolator 18, the gas mixer 15, and the isolation plate 14 in sequence, extending to the middle of the combustion chamber 9. The rear end of the extended powder delivery needle 23 is fixed to the rear end of the gun body shell 10 by the rear cover clamping nut 24 and the powder delivery needle locking nut 25. The middle position of the extended powder delivery needle 23 is fixed to the inner cavity of the gas mixer 15 by the powder delivery needle fixing nut 16. The extended fixed sleeve 12 is supported by a fixed bracket 13 at the front end. To ensure concentricity, a powder delivery needle fixing mandrel 22 is placed between the rear cover 19, the gas dispersion isolator 18, the gas mixer 15, and the extended powder delivery needle 23. The front end of the gun body shell 10 is fixed to the air chamber sleeve 3 with a sleeve locking screw 5. The front end of the air chamber sleeve 3 is connected to the gun barrel cooling sleeve 1 by a thread. The front end of the gun barrel cooling sleeve 1 is flush with the front end of the gun barrel 2, with a small assembly gap in the radial direction. The gun barrel 2 uses a steel Laval tube with a length of only 120mm, which has the advantage of reducing powder adhesion to the nozzle. The powder delivery needle 23 is extended and extends to the middle of the combustion chamber 9, and a thermal barrier coating is sprayed on the extended fixed sleeve 12 at the end. The advantage of the extended fixed sleeve 12 is that it can protect the powder delivery needle from high-temperature erosion in the combustion chamber, while the thermal barrier coating on the surface can significantly reduce the length of the extended fixed sleeve 12 and improve working stability.

[0032] Combustion gas (usually propane, propylene, or a mixture thereof as the main gas, and hydrogen as the auxiliary gas) enters through the gas input port 27 on the rear cover 19, and enters the gas mixing chamber 26 through the first small hole on the gas dispersion isolator 18. It mixes evenly with the air (combustion-supporting gas) entering through the air input port 17 on the gas mixer 15, then enters the rear end of the combustion chamber 9 through the second small hole at the front end of the gas mixer 15, and finally is smoothly transmitted to the inner cavity of the combustion chamber 9 through the evenly distributed third small holes on the isolation plate 14. After combustion, the combustion gas and air enter the gun barrel and are finally sprayed onto the substrate surface. Compressed air is injected through the main gas air port 4 on the air chamber sleeve 3 and fills the air cooling channel 29. The air cooling channel 29 is formed by the gap between the gun body shell 10, the air chamber sleeve 3, the gun barrel cooling sleeve 1, the gun barrel 2, the combustion chamber 9, the gas mixer 15, the gas dispersion isolator 18, and the rear cover 19. Part of the compressed air cools the gun barrel 2 and the combustion chamber 9 and is discharged through the fourth small hole distributed at the front end of the gun barrel cooling sleeve 1. Part of the compressed air enters the air inlet hole 17 as the combustion-supporting gas, as mentioned above. Another part enters the outer cavity of the extended powder feeding needle 23 through the powder feeding needle cooling gas channel 28 and serves as the powder feeding needle cooling gas. Nitrogen gas is used as the powder feeding gas and carries Fe-based spray powder. It is injected from the rear end of the extended powder feeding needle 23. The powder feeding pipe is connected to the M10 thread 21 at the rear end of the extended powder feeding needle 23. After continuous spraying of Fe-based amorphous powder for more than 5 hours, there was no obvious adhesion between the inner walls of the gun barrel 2 and the combustion chamber 9. The extended powder feeding needle 23 and the extended fixing sleeve 12 were not burned. The amorphous content of the sprayed coating was more than 90%, and the density reached more than 99%. At the same time, the coating showed no obvious rust after 1000 hours of neutral salt spray corrosion.

[0033] The HVAF spray gun structure suitable for stable spraying of iron-based amorphous coatings also includes an ignition system; wherein the ignition system is disposed on the spark plug fixing screw hole 11 in the middle of the combustion chamber 9. The ignition system consists of an ignition coil and a spark plug, which can realize pulse ignition, and the spark plug is fixed on the spark plug fixing screw hole 11 in the middle of the combustion chamber 9.

[0034] The locking and fixing device is basically connected by threads, and the screws and nuts used are all in accordance with national standards; the mating surfaces of the extended powder feeding needle 23, rear cover 19, gas dispersion isolator 18, gas mixer 15, etc. are sealed with O-ring rubber seals; the equipment is easy and quick to load and unload, and the cost of replacing parts is low.

[0035] Compressed air enters the spray gun through the main air inlet 4, and fuel gas enters the spray gun through the fuel gas inlet 27. After being thoroughly mixed through the closely spaced small holes on the fuel gas distributor 18 and fuel gas mixer 15, the fuel gas enters the combustion chamber 9. The spark plug installed on the spark plug fixing screw hole 11 discharges pulses under program control, igniting the mixed fuel gas in the combustion chamber 9 to form a high-pressure, high-speed flame. After being accelerated by the Laval gun barrel 2, the flame is sprayed onto the workpiece to be coated. During spraying, the combustion chamber, gun barrel, and extended powder delivery needle will face a large heat flow. The compressed air will flow at high speed through the air cooling channel 29 to carry away the heat, thereby maintaining a low temperature.

[0036] This embodiment solves the technical problem of existing HVAF spray guns easily sticking to the barrel or combustion chamber when spraying iron-based amorphous powders. Through technical approaches such as spray gun structure system design, barrel optimization, powder feed needle lengthening, and sleeve spraying of thermal barrier coatings, an HVAF spray gun suitable for long-term stable spraying of iron-based amorphous coatings, with simple loading and unloading and low maintenance costs, has been prepared. The sprayed coating has a high degree of amorphization, good density and corrosion resistance, achieving multiple functions such as wear resistance, anti-slip, and corrosion resistance. The barrel length of this embodiment is shorter (120mm, while conventional gun barrel lengths are over 200mm), therefore, the HVAF jet velocity is relatively low and the temperature is higher, making it suitable for spraying Fe-based amorphous powders. This embodiment lengthens the powder feed needle... Extending to the middle of the combustion chamber better suits the aerodynamic environment at the front of the combustion chamber, effectively preventing powder adhesion and agglomeration at the combustion chamber outlet. Due to the low melting point of iron-based amorphous powder, the extended powder feeding needle in this embodiment shortens the residence time of the powder in the combustion chamber, preventing over-melting of particles and enabling the preparation of a coating with an amorphous content exceeding 90%. The powder feeding needle in this embodiment is further enhanced by an extended fixing sleeve coated with a thermal barrier coating, allowing for long-term use without burn-out even in high-temperature environments exceeding 2000°C in the combustion chamber. In this embodiment, continuous spraying of Fe-based amorphous powder for more than 5 hours resulted in no adhesion or significant burn-out of any parts of the spray gun, achieving a density of over 99% after spraying. Furthermore, the coating showed no significant rust after 1000 hours of neutral salt spray corrosion.

Any person skilled in the art can make possible changes and modifications to the technical solutions of the present invention by utilizing the methods and techniques disclosed above without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solutions of the present invention shall fall within the protection scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
