[0028] The endpoints of the ranges and any values claimed herein are not to be understood as being limited to the exact values recited as implicitly included within the range. Ranges can be expressed as from about one particular value to about another particular value. When such a range is expressed, the range is intended to include all values and sub-ranges between the specific values stated.
[0029] The inventors of the present application have found that the existing coating on the surface of the thin-walled metal sealing member has a large surface roughness and limited wear resistance, which can easily lead to peeling of the coating, wear of the part and affect the sealing performance.
[0030] For this first aspect, the present application provides a method for preparing a wear-resistant protective coating of a metal sealing surface in a wide temperature range, comprising the following steps:
[0031] The substrate is placed in a pre-plating solution for pre-plating treatment to obtain a pre-plating layer; the substrate after pre-plating treatment is placed in a composite plating solution for composite electroplating to obtain the wear-resistant protective coating, the composite plating solution contains Co 2+ , ceramic particles and hBN particles, the ceramic particles include chromium carbide particles and / or chromium oxide particles, the particle size distribution of the ceramic particles has a Dv50 value of 2 μm to 8 μm, the particle size distribution of the hBN particles has a Dv50 value of 3 μm to 15 μm, the concentration of Co 2+ in the composite plating solution is 125 g / L to 155 g / L, the concentration of ceramic particles is 5 g / L to 15 g / L, and the concentration of hBN particles is 1 g / L to 10 g / L.
[0032] The composite electroplating is carried out under ultrasonic waves, and the composite electroplating comprises sequentially carried out first composite electroplating, second composite electroplating and third composite electroplating, the ultrasonic wave frequency and current density of the first composite electroplating are respectively 28KHZ-32KHZ and 0.5A / dm 2 ~2A / dm 2 , the ultrasonic wave frequency and current density of the second composite electroplating are respectively 38KHZ-42KHZ and 1.5A / dm 2 ~3A / dm 2 , and the ultrasonic wave frequency and current density of the third composite electroplating are respectively 38KHZ-42KHZ and 3A / dm 2 ~4A / dm 2 .
[0033] The preparation method of the wear-resistant protective coating of the present application comprises the following steps: placing a pre-plated substrate into a composite plating solution containing Co 2+ , chromium carbide ceramic particles and / or chromium oxide ceramic particles and hBN particles to carry out composite electroplating, and the prepared coating comprises a Co matrix component and ceramic particles and hBN particles dispersedly distributed in the Co matrix component. The first aspect is that the good lubricity of h-BN particles can reduce the possibility of surface wear or adhesion of the coating to the debris of the opposite grinding pair, and also can reduce the surface friction of the coating and improve the wear resistance. The second aspect is that when shearing at high temperature, the Co matrix component and Cr elements form an enamel layer to improve the lubricity and wear resistance of the coating. The third aspect is that the strong pinning effect of a large number of chromium carbide ceramic particles and / or chromium oxide ceramic particles has the effect of refining the crystallization of the coating matrix metal, and increases the hardness of the coating. Through the mutual cooperation of the above three aspects, the coating can maintain a low surface roughness and high wear resistance in a wide temperature range of-10℃ to 600℃, effectively resist fretting wear, prevent the thin-walled metal sealing element from being worn through, maintain excellent sealing performance, and improve the service life of the part.
[0034] In the composite plating solution of the present application, Co 2+The concentration of the ceramic particles is not less than 5 g / L, which can improve the composite amount of the ceramic particles in the coating, fully play the role of the chromium element in forming the enamel layer and the ceramic particles in promoting the crystallization refinement of the matrix metal, and is not more than 15 g / L, which can prevent the accumulation of the ceramic particles on the surface of the substrate and affect the mass transfer of the cobalt ions of the matrix metal; the Dv50 value of the ceramic particles is not less than 2 μm, which can prevent the agglomeration of the ceramic particles and affect the compactness and uniformity of the coating, and can fully play the pinning effect of the ceramic particles, and is not more than 8 μm, which can ensure the composite amount of the ceramic particles in the coating and improve the wear resistance of the coating; the concentration of the hBN particles is not less than 1 g / L, which can improve the composite amount of the hBN particles in the coating and fully play the role of the hBN particles in reducing the possibility of the adhesion of the coating surface to the attrition debris, and is not more than 10 g / L, which can prevent the accumulation of the hBN particles on the surface of the substrate and affect the mass transfer of the cobalt ions of the matrix metal, and can prevent the composite of the ceramic particles from being affected and the composite amount of the ceramic particles from being reduced, thereby affecting the final wear resistance; the Dv50 value of the hBN particles is not less than 3 μm, which can prevent the agglomeration of the hBN particles and affect the compactness and uniformity of the coating, and is not more than 15 μm, which can ensure the composite amount of the hBN particles in the coating and prevent the problems such as the increase of the surface roughness of the coating and the appearance of holes in the coating. In the composite plating solution, Co 2+ When the concentration of the ceramic particles is 5 g / L to 15 g / L, the concentration of the hBN particles is 1 g / L to 10 g / L, the particle size distribution of the ceramic particles has a Dv50 value of 2 μm to 8 μm, and the particle size distribution of the hBN particles has a Dv50 value of 3 μm to 15 μm, the composite electroplating is carried out under ultrasonic waves, which will not cause directional flow of the plating solution compared with magnetic stirring and other methods, and the cavitation effect of the ultrasonic waves can uniformly disperse the ceramic particles and the hBN particles in the plating solution, and the ceramic particles and the hBN particles can be separated. Further, the composite electroplating is carried out in stages, the ultrasonic frequency and the current density in the first stage are 28 KHZ to 32 KHZ and 0.5 A / dm 2 2 A / dm 2 , respectively, the lower ultrasonic frequency is used to improve the wettability of the ceramic particles and the hBN particles, the uniform dispersion of the ceramic particles and the hBN particles in the plating solution is realized, and the lower current density is used to preliminarily co-deposit the ceramic particles, the hBN particles and the matrix metal Co, so as to obtain a matrix metal base composite coating with a low particle composite amount; the ultrasonic frequency and the current density in the second stage are 38 KHZ to 42 KHZ and 1.5 A / dm 2 3 A / dm 2, the higher ultrasonic frequency is used to further promote the uniform dispersion of ceramic particles and hBN particles, improve the uniform distribution of the coating, increase the current density to promote the transmission speed of ceramic particles and hBN particles to the substrate, increase the composite amount of ceramic particles and hBN particles in the coating, fully exert the effect of chromium carbide ceramic particles and / or chromium oxide ceramic particles, and promote the crystallization refinement of the matrix metal; the ultrasonic frequency and current density of the third stage are 38KHZ-42KHZ and 3A / dm 2 -4A / dm 2 , maintain the dispersion degree of ceramic particles and hBN particles in the plating solution, increase the current density to further improve the transmission speed of the particles and increase the composite amount of ceramic particles and hBN particles in the coating, fully exert the effect of hBN particles to reduce the possibility of wear or adhesion of the coating surface to the abrasive debris, chromium element to form enamel layer, and chromium carbide ceramic particles and / or chromium oxide ceramic particles to promote the crystallization refinement of the matrix metal. The three stages of composite electroplating under ultrasonic waves make the three aspects of the foregoing mutually cooperate to maximize the reduction of coating roughness and improve the wear resistance of the coating.
[0035] If the ultrasonic frequency of the first stage is lower than 28KHZ, it will affect the uniform dispersion of ceramic particles and hBN particles in the plating solution, and if it is higher than 32KHZ, the composite amount of ceramic particles and hBN particles will be too high, affecting the connection between the composite coating and the substrate and the bonding force between the composite coating and the substrate. If the current density is lower than 0.5A / dm 2 , it will affect the mass transfer rate of cobalt ions in the matrix metal, leading to slow growth of the coating matrix metal and affecting the coating quality. If it is higher than 2A / dm 2 , the composite amount of ceramic particles and hBN particles will be too high, affecting the bonding force between the composite coating and the substrate; if the ultrasonic frequency of the second stage is lower than 38KHZ, it will affect the full dispersion of ceramic particles and hBN particles in the plating solution and the embedding of ceramic particles and hBN particles by the matrix metal deposition, and if it is higher than 42KHZ, it will easily increase the bubbles in the plating solution, leading to defects such as holes in the coating. If the current density is lower than 1.5A / dm 2 , the mass transfer rate of the matrix metal ions will be too low to catch up with the deposition rate of the matrix metal ions, which will reduce the composite amount of ceramic particles and hBN particles in the coating and affect the wear resistance of the coating. If the current density is higher than 3A / dm 2 , the mass transfer rate of the matrix metal ions will be too fast, which is not conducive to the stable embedding deposition of ceramic particles and hBN particles and the stable growth of the plating layer. If the ultrasonic frequency of the third stage is lower than 38KHZ, it will affect the composite amount of ceramic particles and hBN particles in the composite coating and the uniform distribution of ceramic particles and hBN particles in the plating layer. If it is higher than 42KHZ, it will easily increase the bubbles in the plating solution, leading to defects such as holes in the coating. If the current density is lower than 3A / dm 2, affect the composite amount of ceramic particles and hBN particles in the composite coating, and is not conducive to obtaining a high powder composite amount of the coating in a short time. 2 If only the first stage of smaller current and smaller ultrasonic frequency electroplating is used, the composite amount of ceramic powder and hBN particles in the coating tends to be close to zero, and the wear resistance of the coating is insufficient. If only the second stage of current and ultrasonic frequency electroplating is used, the adhesion of the composite coating to the substrate is easily affected, resulting in a decrease in the wear resistance of the coating. If only the third stage of larger current and larger ultrasonic frequency electroplating is used, the coating is easily roughened. If only the first stage of current and ultrasonic frequency electroplating and the second stage of current and ultrasonic frequency electroplating are used in sequence, the overall composite amount of the coating is easily low, reducing the wear resistance of the coating. If only the second stage of current and ultrasonic frequency electroplating and the third stage of current and ultrasonic frequency electroplating are used in sequence, the adhesion of the coating to the substrate is easily low, affecting the wear resistance of the coating. If only the first stage of current and ultrasonic frequency electroplating and the third stage of current and ultrasonic frequency electroplating are used in sequence, the coating is easily roughened, affecting the sealing of the part.
[0036] The pre-plating treatment of the substrate in the pre-plating solution of the present application can improve the adhesion of the coating to the substrate and prevent the coating from peeling off.

[0038] In some preferred embodiments, the plating time of the first composite electroplating, the second composite electroplating and the third composite electroplating is 1h-1.5h, 1h-1.5h and 0.5h-1h, respectively. Under this preferred scheme, the plating time of the first composite electroplating is not less than 1h, which is more conducive to promoting the growth of the coating and obtaining a coating with high bonding force, and is not more than 1.5h, which is more conducive to the subsequent growth of the coating with high particle composite amount. The plating time may be, for example, 1h, 1.1h, 1.2h, 1.3h, 1.4h and 1.5h. The plating time of the second composite electroplating is not less than 1h, which is more conducive to obtaining a coating with a better particle composite amount and facilitating the exertion of the wear resistance of the third composite electroplating layer, and is not more than 1.5h, which is more conducive to avoiding a large deviation in the powder composite amount between the three stages affecting the uniformity of the overall composition of the coating. The plating time may be, for example, 1h, 1.1h, 1.2h, 1.3h, 1.4h and 1.5h. The plating time of the third composite electroplating is not less than 0.5h, which is more conducive to obtaining a coating with a high particle composite amount and a certain thickness, and is not more than 1h, which is more conducive to avoiding the roughness and powder accumulation of the coating affecting the wear resistance and the powder composite amount of the coating, and improving the denseness of the coating. The plating time may be, for example, 0.5h, 0.6h, 0.7h, 0.8h, 0.9h and 1h.
[0039] In some preferred embodiments, the temperature of the composite plating solution is 50℃-60℃. Under this preferred scheme, the temperature of the composite plating solution is not less than 50℃, which is more conducive to promoting the transmission of ions in the plating solution, and is not more than 60℃, which is more conducive to the stable preparation of the coating and reducing the roughness of the coating.

In this preferred solution, the presence of NaCl improves the conductivity of the plating solution, which is conducive to the deposition of the matrix metal cobalt ions and the smooth progress of the electrodeposition process. The presence of H3BO3 can buffer the pH value of the plating solution, which is conducive to preventing the sharp decrease of the pH value after the hydrogen evolution of the plating solution. The presence of the surfactant is conducive to the sufficient wetting of the ceramic particles and the hBN particles with the plating solution, which promotes the dispersibility of the ceramic particles and the hBN particles in the plating solution and ensures the smooth progress of the electrodeposition process. Furthermore, the concentration of NaCl is not less than 30 g / L, which is conducive to improving the conductivity of the plating solution and promoting the deposition of the matrix metal cobalt ions. The concentration of NaCl is not more than 50 g / L, which is conducive to improving the uniformity of the current distribution, refining the coating crystals and improving the coating quality. The concentration of H3BO3 is 20-50 g / L, which is conducive to enhancing the pH buffering effect and improving the coating quality. The concentration of the surfactant is not less than 0.01 g / L, which is conducive to improving the wetting of the ceramic particles and the hBN particles with the plating solution, preventing the agglomeration of the ceramic particles and the hBN particles and affecting the deposition of the ceramic particles and the hBN particles. The concentration of the surfactant is not more than 0.2 g / L, which is conducive to avoiding the turbidity of the plating solution, improving the stability of the plating solution and reducing the roughness of the coating.
[0041] In some preferred embodiments, the initial hBN particles are ultrasonically dispersed in anhydrous ethanol, centrifuged and separated to obtain an hBN particle precursor, and the hBN particle precursor is ultrasonically dispersed in an aqueous solution of a second surfactant, centrifuged and separated to obtain the hBN particles, and the second surfactant is sodium dodecyl sulfonate.
[0042] And / or, the initial ceramic particles are ultrasonically dispersed in anhydrous ethanol, centrifuged and separated to obtain a ceramic particle precursor, and the ceramic particle precursor is ultrasonically dispersed in water, centrifuged and separated to obtain the ceramic particles.
[0043] Under this preferred scheme, after the initial hBN particles are separated by ultrasonic dispersion in anhydrous ethanol, the hBN particles are ultrasonically dispersed in an aqueous surfactant solution, which is more conducive to improving the wettability of the hBN particles, so that the hBN particles are fully dispersed in the composite plating solution, and are uniformly distributed in the plating layer after composite electroplating, thereby improving the compactness of the plating layer. The second surfactant is sodium dodecyl sulfonate, which is more conducive to improving the wettability of the hBN particles, and is consistent with the first surfactant in the plating solution. No other surfactant is introduced into the plating solution, thereby improving the stability of the plating solution. After the initial ceramic particles are separated by ultrasonic dispersion in anhydrous ethanol, the ceramic particles are ultrasonically dispersed in water, which is more conducive to improving the wettability of the ceramic particles, so that the ceramic particles are fully dispersed in the composite plating solution, and are uniformly distributed in the plating layer after composite electroplating, thereby improving the compactness of the plating layer.
[0044] Preferably, the concentration of the second aqueous surfactant solution is 0.1 g / L to 0.5 g / L. Under this preferred scheme, the wettability of the hBN particles is improved, and the agglomeration of the hBN particles is prevented. For example, the concentration of the second aqueous surfactant solution can be 0.1 g / L, 0.2 g / L, 0.3 g / L, 0.4 g / L, or 0.5 g / L.
[0045] In some preferred embodiments, the ceramic particles include chromium carbide particles; and / or, after the composite electroplating, heat treatment is performed to obtain the wear-resistant protective coating, and the temperature of the heat treatment is 400°C to 500°C. Under this preferred scheme, the ceramic particles include chromium carbide particles, which have a higher hardness than chromium oxide, so that the coating has high hardness and is more conducive to enhancing the wear resistance of the coating.

[0048] Under this preferred scheme, the pre-plating solution is a nickel-based plating solution, and the pre-plating layer is a nickel-based plating layer, which is more conducive to improving the adhesion between the coating and the substrate and improving the service life of the coating. The concentration of Ni 2+A concentration of not less than 45 g / L is more conducive to improving current efficiency and promoting the smooth progress of the electrodeposition process; a concentration not exceeding 60 g / L is more conducive to avoiding excessively rapid nickel ion deposition, which could increase coating roughness.
