Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of surface strengthening, and specifically relates to a surface treatment process for a hydraulic breaker piston, and in particular to a surface treatment process for improving the service life and performance of the hydraulic breaker piston. Background Art

[0002] A hydraulic breaker is a device that converts the hydraulic energy input by the main engine into mechanical impact energy. It is usually used on hydraulic engineering machinery such as loaders and excavators. It can complete rock crushing, building demolition and other tasks. It is widely used in mining engineering and civil engineering. With the development of hydraulic breaker rock breaking technology and the continuous improvement of performance, hydraulic breaker rock breaking has been more and more widely used due to its safety, economy and efficiency. At present, the hydraulic breaker industry has become a sunrise industry. Entering the 21st century, with the development of urban and rural infrastructure and engineering construction, the market scale of construction machinery in my country has also made a qualitative leap, especially the market scale of excavators has expanded rapidly, from 140,300 units in 2017 to 327,600 units in 2020. The piston inside the breaker cylinder needs to bear severe impact and friction during the operation of the breaker, so the piston is severely worn during actual use and is one of the items with high consumption.

[0003] A good piston can increase the service life of a good breaker. In order to increase the service life and repair work of the piston inside the breaker cylinder under land and underwater operating environments, surface modification technology is used to increase the service life of the piston from a coating perspective, thereby increasing the market share and competitiveness of the breaker in the mining machinery market.

[0004] According to the use conditions of the breaker hammer piston, different breaker hammer manufacturers will adopt different technical means to extend the service life of the breaker hammer, such as Cr plating on the surface of the breaker hammer piston to increase the service life of the breaker hammer, or directly increasing the gap between the piston and the cylinder to delay the wear and tear of the breaker hammer surface. The Cr plating process has disadvantages such as environmental approval and poor bonding strength of the Cr plating layer and easy falling off. Directly increasing the gap between the piston and the cylinder cannot increase the service life from the perspective of breaker hammer wear, and cannot achieve improvement and life extension of the breaker hammer piston under impact wear conditions.

[0035] The principles and features of the present invention are described below in conjunction with examples. The examples are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] A hydraulic breaker piston surface treatment process, the steps are as follows:

[0038] S1. Select commercially available cobalt-based tungsten carbide powder WC-12Co as the spraying material for supersonic flame spraying; the average particle size of the cobalt-based tungsten carbide powder WC-12Co is 75 μm.

[0039] S2. Pre-process the surface of the hydraulic breaker piston; select a hydraulic breaker piston substrate and first turn its surface to a thickness of 300 μm; then use an alkaline cleaning agent to clean it to remove surface oil stains; then sandblast the surface of the substrate and blow dry the residual sandblasting sand on the surface of the workpiece, and the average particle size of the sand used for sandblasting is 1 mm.

[0040] S3. A cobalt-based tungsten carbide coating was prepared on the surface of the hydraulic breaker piston by supersonic flame spraying. The main process parameters were: the oxygen flow rate of the combustion agent was 12m3 / h; the kerosene flow rate of the spraying fuel was 3L / min; the powder feeding amount was 60g / min; the spraying distance was 300mm; the average movement speed of the spray gun was 5mm / s; the spraying was repeated for many times, and the average thickness of the final coating was 300μm. The coating obtained by the surface treatment process is as follows Figure 3 shown.

[0041] test

[0042] The cobalt-based tungsten carbide coating obtained in Example 1 and the piston substrate same as Example 1 were tested for hardness and wear resistance. The size of the sample to be tested was 10 mm×10 mm×15 mm. Before the test, the sample to be tested was ground and polished; the grinding was performed using 240#, 400#, 800#, and 1200# sandpapers respectively.

[0043] 1. Hardness test: Use a microhardness tester to test the cobalt-based tungsten carbide coating and the hydraulic breaker piston substrate. The hardness of the cobalt-based tungsten carbide composite coating is 1305HV. 0.2 The hardness of the hydraulic breaker piston base is 436HV 0.2 It can be seen that the hardness of the cobalt-based tungsten carbide coating of the present invention is significantly higher than that of the piston substrate.

[0044] 2. Wear resistance test: The friction and wear tester was used to test the cobalt-based tungsten carbide coating and the hydraulic breaker piston substrate. The test method was based on the standard GB / T 17754-2012. Under a load of 100N, the average wear depth of the cobalt-based tungsten carbide coating was 2.15μm, while the wear depth of the hydraulic breaker piston substrate was 19.93μm. It can be seen that the coating of the present invention can significantly reduce the wear. The friction coefficient of the cobalt-based tungsten carbide coating is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the friction coefficient of the hydraulic breaker piston base is as follows Figure 5 As shown, the wear morphology of cobalt-based tungsten carbide coating is as follows Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the wear morphology of the piston base of the hydraulic breaker is as follows Figure 7 The wear scar data of the cobalt-based tungsten carbide coating are shown in Table 1, and the wear scar data of the hydraulic breaker piston substrate are shown in Table 2.
