Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of surface treatment, and in particular to an anti-abrasion composite layer and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] As the most important basic material, carbon steel is widely used in industries such as electricity, communications, chemicals, and automobiles. For example, U-shaped rings, ball head hanging rings and other power fittings are exposed to various meteorological conditions all year round, and corrosion occurs all the time. Breeze vibration, dancing, icing, sub-span vibration, wire de-icing and jumping, etc., cause wear of line fittings to varying degrees, which makes power fittings have both corrosion and wear conditions. The commonly used hot-dip galvanized layer is neither corrosion-resistant nor wear-resistant in the coastal environment of high temperature, high humidity, high chlorine, and strong winds, resulting in frequent cases of abrasion failure of power fittings. On the other hand, people have put forward higher requirements on the environmental protection and cost of anti-abrasion materials. Therefore, the development of environmentally friendly and low-cost anti-abrasion layers with good performance has significant practical significance.

[0003] In order to improve the corrosion resistance of carbon steel components, researchers have studied zinc alloy coatings such as Zn-Ni, Zn-Co, and Zn-Fe. Among them, the Zn-Fe alloy layer has the lowest cost and is more environmentally friendly. Therefore, there are many studies on the deposition of Zn-Fe alloys with low and high iron contents. For example, CN104120466A, CN105442000A, CN109137016A, and CN1162571C prepared Zn-Fe alloy coatings with low iron content in acidic or alkaline baths, and CN117535744A and CN101545125A prepared Zn-Fe alloy coatings with iron contents of 12% to 18% and 17% to 20%, respectively. However, the composition of the Zn-Fe alloy has an important influence on its structure, which makes the performance of the alloy layer significantly different. A single Zn-Fe alloy coating is obviously difficult to meet the requirements of metal components such as power fittings in abrasive working conditions.

[0004] Researchers used a composite deposition technique to improve the wear resistance of the Zn-Fe coating to a certain extent. Fan Yunying et al. added 20-60 g / L of SiO2 particles with a particle size of 0.76 μm to an acidic Zn-Fe system to prepare a ZnFe-SiO2 composite coating with a Fe content of about 10 wt.% and a maximum SiO2 content of 0.51 wt.% (Fan Yunying et al., Influence of plating solution composition on the composition of Zn-Fe-SiO2 alloy composite coating, Surface Technology, 2003, 32(5): 53-55). This team also disclosed the preparation method of Zn-Fe-SiO2 composite coating in an acidic system through CN1854351A, CN1854350A, CN1289717C, etc. CN109137016A and CN111636080A disclosed the electroplating process for preparing Zn-Fe-graphene composite coating in an alkaline system. However, in the prior art, due to the failure to take targeted measures to increase the content of micro-nano particles in the composite layer, the particle content in the composite layer is extremely limited, so the improvement of wear resistance is restricted. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to solve the above problems in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an anti-abrasive composite layer and its preparation method. The anti-abrasive composite layer has good wear resistance and corrosion resistance.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, according to the first aspect of the present invention, an anti-abrasive composite layer is provided. The anti-abrasive composite layer includes a passivation layer, a first Zn-Fe composite layer, and a second Zn-Fe composite layer from the surface to the inside; wherein, the iron content in the first Zn-Fe composite layer is lower than the iron content in the second Zn-Fe composite layer;

[0007] In the first Zn-Fe layer, Zn-Fe is in the η phase, and in the second Zn-Fe layer, Zn-Fe is in the γ phase;

[0008] Both the first Zn-Fe composite layer and the second Zn-Fe composite layer contain wear-resistant particles. The particle size of the wear-resistant particles in the first Zn-Fe composite layer is 10 nanometers to 10 micrometers, and the particle size of the wear-resistant particles in the second Zn-Fe composite layer is 10 nanometers to 30 micrometers;

[0009] The thicknesses of the first Zn-Fe composite layer and the second Zn-Fe composite layer are each independently 8-18 micrometers;

[0010] The composite amount of the wear-resistant particles in the anti-abrasive composite layer is 5-8 wt%.

[0011] Among them, the composite amount is measured according to the following method:

[0012] Peel off part of the composite coating and weigh the mass of the composite coating ( ), heat in an HNO3 aqueous solution with a volume ratio of concentrated nitric acid to water of 1:1 (where the concentrated nitric acid is a concentrated nitric acid aqueous solution with a mass concentration of 67%) until the metal in the coating is completely dissolved. After the wear-resistant particles are completely precipitated, separate and dry them, and weigh the mass of the particles in the coating ( ), and calculate the composite amount from this .

[0013] The anti-corrosion and wear-resistant composite layer of the present invention ensures the corrosion resistance of the coating to the substrate in many aspects. First, the passivation property of the outer layer with a low Fe content coating is used to form a passivation film, ensuring that the three-layer structure has good corrosion resistance. Second, the potential difference between the coating and the steel substrate gradually decreases through the gradient of increasing Fe content from the surface to the inside, so that it still has a certain corrosion resistance after the outer layer is gradually consumed. Third, the Zn-Fe layer acts as a sacrificial anode to provide cathodic protection for the substrate.

[0014] At the same time, the anti-corrosion and wear-resistant composite layer of the present invention ensures the wear resistance of the coating to the substrate in many aspects. First, by using the Fe content gradient in the coating from the surface to the inside, the component forms a structural gradient of a passivation layer, η phase to γ phase, and then forms a hardness gradient of the three-layer structure. Second, the hardness of the anti-corrosion and wear-resistant composite layer is further improved through the dispersion strengthening effect of the wear-resistant particles. Finally, the friction coefficient of the anti-corrosion and wear-resistant composite layer is greatly reduced by using the wear-resistant particles, and the effect is strengthened by the mutual matching of the large-particle-size wear-resistant particles in the inner layer and the small-particle-size wear-resistant particles in the outer layer. In addition, the anti-corrosion and wear-resistant composite layer of the present invention contains more wear-resistant particles, which can also better provide wear and corrosion resistance.

[0015] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the iron content in the first zinc-iron layer is 0.03 to 1.0 wt%.

[0016] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the iron content in the second zinc-iron layer is 5 to 30 wt%.

[0017] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the particle size of the wear-resistant particles in the first zinc-iron composite layer is 100 nanometers to 8 micrometers.

[0018] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the particle size of the wear-resistant particles in the second zinc-iron composite layer includes two types: 45 nanometers to 10 micrometers and 15 micrometers to 30 micrometers. The present invention preferably uses the mutual matching of wear-resistant particles with different particle sizes, which is more beneficial to improving the anti-corrosion and wear-resistant effect of the multi-layer structure. In addition to providing the same dispersion strengthening and self-lubricating effects as the small-particle-size wear-resistant particles, the large-particle-size wear-resistant particles also significantly improve the bonding strength between the first zinc-iron composite layer and the second zinc-iron composite layer through the wedge structure.

[0019] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the wear-resistant particles include one or a combination of two or more of diamond wear-resistant particles, silicon carbide wear-resistant particles, silicon dioxide wear-resistant particles, boron nitride wear-resistant particles, aluminum oxide wear-resistant particles, molybdenum disulfide wear-resistant particles, zirconium dioxide wear-resistant particles, titanium dioxide wear-resistant particles, silicon nitride wear-resistant particles, tungsten carbide wear-resistant particles, polytetrafluoroethylene wear-resistant particles, carbon fiber wear-resistant particles, carbon nanotube wear-resistant particles, graphite wear-resistant particles, and graphene wear-resistant particles.

[0020] Preferably, the wear-resistant particles include self-lubricating wear-resistant particles. More preferably, the self-lubricating wear-resistant particles include one or a combination of two or more of boron nitride wear-resistant particles, aluminum oxide wear-resistant particles, polytetrafluoroethylene wear-resistant particles, molybdenum disulfide wear-resistant particles, graphite wear-resistant particles, carbon nanotube wear-resistant particles, and graphene wear-resistant particles. The self-lubricating property of the above-mentioned preferred wear-resistant particles is beneficial to reducing the friction coefficient of the anti-abrasion composite layer and enhancing the wear resistance of the anti-abrasion composite layer.

[0021] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, a substrate with an anti-wear composite layer is provided. The anti-abrasion composite layer is the above-mentioned anti-abrasion composite layer, and the material of the substrate includes one or a combination of two or more of carbon steel, stainless steel, copper, and aluminum. In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the first zinc-iron composite layer is prepared from a first solution.

[0023] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the wear-resistant particles in the second solution include two types with particle sizes of 45 nm to 10 μm and 15 μm to 30 μm. Moreover, the concentration of the wear-resistant particles with a particle size of 45 nm to 10 μm is 5 - 50 g / L, and the concentration of the wear-resistant particles with a particle size of 15 μm to 30 μm is 60 - 120 g / L. Selecting two sizes of wear-resistant particles compounded according to the above concentrations is more conducive to improving the bonding strength between the first zinc-iron composite layer and the second zinc-iron composite layer by using the wedge-shaped structure.

[0024] The present invention adjusts the iron content in the deposited layer by using the difference in the complexing ability of different multi-component complexing systems and the difference in the concentration of Fe 2+ in the solution. When preparing the first zinc-iron composite layer with a low Fe content, a complexing system with strong complexing ability with Fe 2+ and weak complexing ability with Zn 2+ such as sodium citrate, ammonium citrate, etc.) is selected, and at the same time, a low Fe 2+ concentration is adopted; when preparing the second zinc-iron composite layer with a high Fe content, a complexing system with weak complexing ability with Fe 2+ and strong complexing ability with Zn 2+ such as tetraethylenepentamine, etc.) is selected, and at the same time, a high Fe 2+ concentration is adopted.

[0025] The electrolyte solution of the present invention utilizes the antioxidant effect of the stabilizer and the complexing effect of the complexing system on Fe 2+ to inhibit the oxidation of Fe 2+ in the solution.

[0027] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, based on the total volume of the first multi-component complexing system, in the first multi-component complexing system, the concentration of sodium citrate and / or ammonium citrate is 100 - 300 g / L (preferably 120 - 250 g / L), the concentration of sodium salicylate is 18 - 180 g / L (preferably 24 - 120 g / L), the concentration of pyridine is 0 - 180 g / L (preferably 0 - 120 g / L), the concentration of sodium gluconate is 150 - 200 g / L (preferably 150 - 200 g / L), and the concentration of triethanolamine is 100 - 300 mL / L (preferably 150 - 250 mL / L).

[0045] According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for preparing the above anti-abrasion composite layer, which includes:

[0046] After pretreating the substrate, it is used as the cathode;

[0047] The second zinc-iron composite layer is electroplated and deposited on the cathode in sequence, and the first zinc-iron composite layer is electroplated and deposited on the second zinc-iron layer to obtain an intermediate product; the electroplating and deposition are carried out under intermittent stirring;

[0048] The intermediate product is passivated to obtain the anti-abrasion composite layer;

[0049] Wherein, the anode includes one or a combination of two or more of stainless steel, nickel-plated steel sheet, and nickel plate.

[0050] Through intermittent stirring, wear-resistant particles can be transported to the cathode, and the wear-resistant particles retained on the cathode surface can also be flushed. Obviously, the flushing effect of stirring is weakened during the intermittent period. Moreover, the inventors have found through research that the interfacial force existing between the newly formed metal and the wear-resistant particles during composite deposition is conducive to the retention of the wear-resistant particles on the cathode surface. The intermittent period can make full use of the retention effect of the interfacial force, thereby significantly increasing the content of wear-resistant particles in the composite layer. At the same time, rare earth ions are added in the present invention, which can enable the wear-resistant particles to adsorb more positive charges, promote the movement of the wear-resistant particles towards the cathode and their retention on the cathode surface, thereby increasing the composite amount. In addition, in some embodiments of the present invention, a cationic surfactant is added, which is beneficial to adsorb on the surface of the wear-resistant particles, increase the Zeta potential of the wear-resistant particles, and thus promote the transport and retention of the wear-resistant particles towards the cathode.

[0051] The intermittent stirring method can be mechanical stirring and should not be air stirring. Preferably, the stirring intensity is such that the wear-resistant particles are not likely to settle during the preparation of the second zinc-iron composite layer, and during the preparation of the first zinc-iron composite layer, it is appropriate for glass balls and / or plastic balls (if any) to collide with the cathode surface. Specifically, it is adjusted according to the size of the tank, the particle size and density of the wear-resistant particles, etc.

[0052] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the conditions for the intermittent stirring include: stirring for 10 s to 20 s, intermittent for 5 s to 20 s, and the stirring intensity is 0 to 3000 rpm; in the preferred embodiments, the intermittent time during the deposition of the first zinc-iron composite layer is 10 s to 20 s, the stirring intensity is 0 to 1500 rpm, the intermittent time during the deposition of the second zinc-iron composite layer is 5 s to 12 s, and the stirring intensity is 0 to 3000 rpm. When tribological properties are not required, stirring may not be needed, or only mild stirring is required to remove the bubbles on the electrode surface.

[0053] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the conditions for electroplating and depositing the second zinc-iron composite layer and depositing the first zinc-iron composite layer each include: the cathode current density is 0.5 to 6 A / dm 2 , the temperature is 10 to 40 °C, and the time is 20 to 60 minutes; the deposition is carried out under the conditions of intermittent stirring.

[0054] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the conditions for the passivation treatment include: the pH value is 2 to 2.5, the temperature is 20 to 45 °C, and the time is 30 to 60 s.

[0055] Compared with hot-dip galvanizing, the present invention replaces the existing hot-dip galvanizing process at about 450 °C with a normal-temperature Zn-Fe deposition process, and has obvious low-carbon advantages; compared with Zn-Ni deposition, the present invention uses Fe 2+ to replace Ni in Zn-Ni deposition 2+ , and has good environmental protection properties. The present invention also has the advantage of low cost, Zn 2+With Fe 2+ It is widely sourced and inexpensive.

[0056] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the pre-treatment method includes degreasing - water washing - rust removal - water washing - activation. For the purpose of obtaining a fresh substrate surface, conventional treatment processes can be used. Brightening can be carried out using a 0.2 - 0.5% dilute nitric acid solution.

[0057] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial technical effects of the present invention include:

[0058] Provided is an environmentally friendly and low-cost anti-abrasion composite layer, which simultaneously has excellent wear resistance and corrosion resistance. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Intermittent stirring was adopted, with 10 s of stirring and 10 s of interruption; the water bath temperature was 25 °C; after 30 minutes, a bright and smooth composite coating with a thickness of 16 microns was obtained on the surface of the copper sheet.

[0072] EDS semi - quantitative analysis was carried out on the part of the coating without wear - resistant particles. The results showed that the zinc content in the obtained coating was 91.6 wt.%, the iron content was 0.6 wt.%, and the balance was other elements such as Cu.

After water washing, it was used as the cathode and put into the first solution with electricity, and the anode was a nickel plate.

[0077] Based on the composition of the first solution in Example 2, 200 plastic balls with a diameter of 2 mm made of PVC material were added per liter, and the stirring intensity was increased to 520 rpm. The other parameters were the same as those in Example 2. The thickness of the obtained coating was 15 microns.

[0078] EDS semi - quantitative analysis was carried out on the part of the obtained coating without wear - resistant particles. The results showed that the zinc content in the obtained coating was 90.8 wt.%, the iron content was 0.9 wt.%, and the balance was other elements such as Cu.

[0079] The measured composite amount was 5.0 wt.%.

[0080] The hardness value measured by a micro - hardness tester was 192 HV, showing a significant increase compared with the hardness value in Example 2. It can be seen that the collision of plastic balls has a positive effect on the improvement of the coating hardness.

[0081] The coating obtained after deposition in the first solution was washed with water and then subjected to post - treatment processes such as brightening - water washing - passivation - water washing - sealing - drying to obtain the required passivation layer. The solution used for passivation treatment was: chromium nitrate nonahydrate 60 g / L, sodium nitrate 15 g / L, sodium oxalate 10 g / L, sodium malonate 10 g / L, maleic anhydride 2 g / L, cobalt nitrate hexahydrate 6 g / L, and amino - silicon 4 mL / L. The pH value of the solution was adjusted to 2, the temperature was 30 °C, and the passivation treatment time was 40 s.

[0082] A 1000 - hour neutral salt spray test was carried out on the non - passivated sample of Example 2 and the passivated sample of Example 3. Red rust was visible on the former, while no red rust was visible on the latter.

[0083] Example 4

[0084] In this example, a U-shaped ring of type U-7 made of Q235 is used as the base material, and an anti-abrasion composite layer is deposited.

[0085] First, perform degreasing - water washing - rust removal - water washing - activation pretreatment. After water washing, it is used as the cathode and put into the second solution while being charged. The anode is a nickel plate, and the deposition process is as in Example 1.

[0086] Subsequently, it is directly used as the cathode and put into the first solution while being charged. The anode is also a nickel plate, and the deposition process is as in Example 3, and passivation treatment is carried out according to the method in Example 3.

[0087] The total thickness of the anti-abrasion composite layer is 33 microns. Among them, the thickness of the first zinc-iron composite layer is 16 microns, and the thickness of the second zinc-iron composite layer is 17 microns.

[0088] EDS semi-quantitative analysis is carried out on the part of the obtained coating without wear-resistant particles. The results show that in the obtained first zinc-iron composite layer, the zinc content is 96.1 wt.%, the iron content is 1.0 wt.%, and the balance is other elements such as C; in the obtained second zinc-iron composite layer, the zinc content is 68.5 wt.%, the iron content is 26.6 wt.%, and the balance is other elements such as C.

[0089] The measured composite amount is 6.9 wt.%.

[0090] The hardness value of the first zinc-iron composite layer measured by a microhardness tester is 207 HV, and the hardness value of the second zinc-iron composite layer is 649 HV. No red rust is seen after the sample undergoes a 1200-hour neutral salt spray test.

[0091] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of the anti-abrasion composite layer prepared in Example 4 of the present invention. As the iron content increases from the surface to the inside, the potential difference between the anti-abrasion composite layer and the carbon steel base material gradually decreases, so as to maintain good corrosion resistance under the combined action with the passivation film. At the same time, the evolution of the outer η phase to the inner γ phase causes a significant increase in the hardness value, and the synergistic effect of self-lubricating wear-resistant particles with different particle sizes together endows the anti-abrasion layer with excellent tribological properties.
