Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of metal material surface treatment, and in particular relates to a ceramic composite process applied to a metal substrate. Background Art

[0002] Micro-arc oxidation (MAO), also known as plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO), is developed from anodizing technology, and the film performance formed is better than that of anodizing. The micro-arc oxidation process mainly relies on the matching and adjustment of electrolyte and electrical parameters. Under the instantaneous high temperature and high pressure generated by arc discharge, an oxide film is grown in situ on the surface of valve metals such as aluminum, magnesium, titanium and their alloys. Its corrosion resistance and wear resistance are significantly better than those of traditional anodized films, so it has received widespread attention.

[0003] The current technology of using micro-arc oxidation process to treat metal substrates has the following defects:

[0004] First, there are microscopic pores in the micro-arc oxidation film on the surface of the metal substrate. The specific defects are as follows: 1) liquid easily remains after flowing through the surface of the metal substrate; 2) dirt and foreign matter cannot be thoroughly cleaned or removed after entering the microscopic pores;

[0005] Second, the pores of the micro-arc oxidation film on the surface of the metal substrate are open and not closed. The specific defects are as follows: 1) weather resistance, including salt spray test, cannot meet specific requirements; 2) the microscopic undulations on the surface of the film lead to insufficient surface hardness, which means that the friction resistance and other properties of the surface need to be further improved;

[0006] Third, the micro-arc oxidation film formed on the surface of the metal substrate has high hardness and is brittle. Specifically, the micro-arc oxidation film is easily powdered after being impacted and the micro-arc oxidation film is broken after the product is deformed.

[0007] Based on this, the present invention discloses a ceramic composite process applied to a metal substrate. Summary of the invention

[0020] Furthermore, in step 2), the step of post-treating the metal substrate obtained in step 1) comprises:

[0021] S21, performing plasma cleaning on the metal substrate obtained in step 1), thereby removing dirt and foreign matter that may be present in the microscopic membrane pores after micro-arc oxidation treatment;

[0022] S22, spraying, electrophoresis and / or ion implantation are performed on the metal substrate obtained in step s21.

[0023] Furthermore, the spraying includes nano-spraying.

After the metal ion injection is completed, the metal substrate is placed in an oven and kept warm at 200-220°C for 25-60 minutes.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0029] The present invention discloses a ceramic composite process applied to a metal substrate. By performing micro-arc oxidation treatment on the metal substrate, micro-arc oxidation ceramic films of different colors can be obtained on the surface of the metal substrate, with uniform color and beautiful appearance. The metal substrate is then post-treated to protect the micro-arc oxidation ceramic film, fill the microscopic pores of the micro-arc oxidation ceramic film, and seal the microscopic film pores on the surface of the metal substrate after the micro-arc oxidation treatment, thereby greatly improving the anti-fouling performance, weather resistance and surface hardness of the metal substrate, preventing the metal substrate from powdering or cracking after being impacted, and solving the problems of poor anti-fouling performance due to microscopic pores on the surface, poor weather resistance and insufficient surface hardness due to open and unsealed film pores, and high hardness and brittleness of the micro-arc oxidation film in the existing micro-arc oxidation process.
