Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of metal material surface treatment, and in particular to a titanium alloy surface modified coating and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Titanium alloys are widely used in aerospace, medical equipment and other fields due to their advantages such as light weight, high strength and corrosion resistance. However, their surface hardness and wear resistance still need to be improved. Although traditional surface treatment methods such as anodizing and chemical plating can improve certain properties, they have limitations in improving comprehensive performance. Specifically: Insufficient hardness and wear resistance: Titanium alloy itself has low hardness and is prone to adhesive wear and abrasive wear, which limits its scope of application.
[0003] Poor high-temperature oxidation resistance: In a high-temperature environment, the oxide film generated on the surface of the titanium alloy is easy to fall off and cannot effectively protect the substrate, resulting in a decrease in mechanical properties and even causing major accidents.
[0004] Bonding problem: The bonding strength between traditional coatings and titanium alloy substrates is weak, and the coatings are prone to peeling or cracking, affecting service life and reliability.
[0005] Therefore, it is particularly important to develop an efficient and innovative method for titanium alloy surface modification. Summary of the invention
[0006] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides a titanium alloy surface modified coating and a preparation method thereof.
[0007] According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for preparing a titanium alloy surface modified coating, comprising the following steps: Pre-treating the titanium alloy surface; Using a composite activation solution to activate the surface of the titanium alloy to form a titanium alloy containing a transition layer; Wherein, the composite activation solution is fluorine-containing organic acid, graphite phase carbon nitride nanosheets and rare earth elements; Performing a first pickling treatment and a sandblasting treatment on the titanium alloy containing the transition layer; The titanium alloy containing the transition layer after the first acid pickling treatment and the sandblasting treatment is subjected to plasma immersion ion implantation treatment, and transition metal oxide nanowires are introduced during the process so that the transition metal oxide nanowires are embedded in the titanium alloy containing the transition layer; Using a plasma metallization method to infiltrate Mo, W and other metal elements into the transition layer and the titanium alloy to form a infiltration layer with a thickness of 5-200 μm, wherein the other metal elements are Ni and / or Cr elements; Performing a second pickling treatment on the titanium alloy containing the diffusion layer; Performing a secondary activation treatment on the titanium alloy containing the diffusion layer after the second pickling treatment to obtain a titanium alloy matrix; Electroplating the titanium alloy substrate to form a coating on the surface of the titanium alloy substrate; the electroplating solution used in the electroplating includes: chromic anhydride, sulfuric acid, transition metal oxide nanowires and metal organic framework nanoparticles; wherein the mass fraction of sulfuric acid is 2%-50%, the volume ratio of chromic anhydride to sulfuric acid is 1:4-2:3, the mass fraction of the transition metal oxide nanowires is 0.1%-5% of the electroplating solution, and the mass fraction of the metal organic framework nanoparticles is 0.1%-5% of the electroplating solution; The coating is subjected to laser shock peening treatment and ultraviolet light irradiation treatment; The coating layer after the laser shock strengthening treatment and the ultraviolet light irradiation treatment is subjected to low temperature annealing treatment to form a modified coating layer on the surface of the titanium alloy.
[0008] In order to further improve the performance of the Mo-infiltrated layer, other metal elements can be introduced while forming the Mo-infiltrated layer to form a composite infiltrated layer. This method can significantly improve the comprehensive properties of the surface modified coating of the titanium alloy through synergistic effects, such as hardness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance. Tungsten has a high melting point and good corrosion resistance, which can significantly improve the high-temperature oxidation resistance and hardness of the Mo-infiltrated layer. Nickel has good toughness and corrosion resistance, which can enhance the bonding strength and toughness of the Mo-infiltrated layer. Chromium has excellent corrosion resistance and wear resistance, which can improve the surface hardness and corrosion resistance of the Mo-infiltrated layer. Since Mo and other metal elements (such as W, Ni or Cr) form a uniform and dense composite infiltrated layer on the surface of the titanium alloy, the synergistic effect between different metals is utilized to significantly improve the comprehensive performance of the surface modified coating, significantly improve the surface hardness, and enhance the wear resistance. The introduction of nanoparticles promotes the diffusion of multiple metal elements, making the composite infiltrated layer more uniform, reducing local stress concentration points, and thus reducing the wear rate. The presence of the composite infiltrated layer effectively blocks the invasion of external corrosive media and improves the corrosion resistance of the titanium alloy. Through the two stages of initial infiltration and deep infiltration, the thickness and structure of the composite infiltration layer are gradually optimized, and the quality and performance of the infiltration layer are improved.
[0009] When Mo and W are infiltrated together, they are able to form a more complex intermetallic compound structure on the surface of the titanium alloy, which not only improves the hardness, but also enhances the fatigue resistance and wear resistance. When Ni is used in combination with other metal elements such as Mo and W, it can act as a bridge to promote the better diffusion of other metal elements into the titanium alloy, while enhancing the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of the entire composite infiltration layer. When Cr is infiltrated together with other metal elements (such as Mo, W, and Ni), it can form a more complex intermetallic compound, further enhancing the hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance of the material. In addition, the presence of Cr helps to stabilize the distribution of other metal elements in the titanium alloy and ensure the uniformity and consistency of the composite infiltration layer. The microstructure of the multi-metal composite infiltration layer is more complex and uniform, reducing local stress concentration points, thereby reducing the wear rate and extending the service life. The microstructure of the multi-metal composite infiltration layer is more complex and uniform, reducing local stress concentration points, thereby reducing the wear rate and extending the service life.
[0010] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the pretreatment of the titanium alloy surface comprises: Mechanically polishing the titanium alloy may be using fine sandpaper or a polishing wheel to mechanically polish the titanium alloy substrate to make the surface roughness less than 6.4 μm; Using a chemical cleaning agent to remove surface oxides and other contaminants on the surface of the titanium alloy, including: soaking in a 5%-10% hydrochloric acid solution for 5-10 minutes, and then rinsing with deionized water; The titanium alloy is immersed in a citric acid cleaning solution and cleaned by ultrasonic assisted cleaning to ensure that tiny impurities are completely removed. The ultrasonic cleaning time is 10-20 minutes and the temperature is kept at room temperature.
[0011] Mechanical polishing can reduce surface roughness, reduce stress concentration points in subsequent processing, and improve coating adhesion. Chemical cleaning and ultrasonic-assisted cleaning can remove surface oxides and other contaminants to ensure the uniformity and effectiveness of subsequent processing.
[0012] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the method of using a composite activation solution to activate the surface of the titanium alloy to form a titanium alloy containing a transition layer includes: The composite activation solution is prepared by preparing a composite activation solution containing 10% to 80% by mass of perfluorooctanoic acid, 0.1% to 5% by mass of rare earth elements, and 0.1% to 5% by mass of graphite phase carbon nitride nanosheets, and the rest is water, wherein the rare earth elements include lanthanum or cerium; Activation treatment: immerse the pretreated titanium alloy in the composite activation solution for 5-15 minutes at room temperature to promote the formation of a more stable oxide layer on the surface of the titanium alloy and enhance the adhesion of subsequent coatings.
[0013] Contains fluorinated organic acid, graphite carbon nitride nanosheets and rare earth elements. The fluorinated organic acid can promote the formation of a more stable oxide layer on the surface of the titanium alloy, the rare earth elements help to improve the activation effect, and the graphite carbon nitride nanosheets can enhance the conductivity and mechanical properties of the coating.
[0014] Perfluorooctanoic acid is a powerful surfactant that can significantly reduce the surface tension of the solution, thereby promoting its uniform spreading on the surface of the titanium alloy. This property helps to improve the efficiency of chemical reactions in subsequent processing steps. The fluorinated groups in perfluorooctanoic acid can react chemically with the surface of the titanium alloy to form a dense and stable oxide protective film, which can serve as a good foundation for subsequent coatings and enhance the bonding strength between the coating and the substrate.
[0015] Rare earth elements (such as lanthanum or cerium) can form stable oxides on the surface of titanium alloys (such as La 2 O 3 or CeO 2 ), these oxides have high chemical and thermal stability, can effectively prevent further oxidation of the substrate, and provide better adhesion for subsequent coatings. The presence of rare earth elements can refine the grain structure on the surface of titanium alloys, reduce microscopic defects, and thus improve the overall performance of the material.
[0016] Graphite-phase carbon nitride nanosheets have excellent electrical conductivity and can significantly improve the electrical conductivity of the titanium alloy surface, which is very important for subsequent electroplating processes because it can ensure uniform current distribution and avoid local overheating or uneven current density. Graphite-phase carbon nitride nanosheets have good mechanical strength and toughness and can form a tough protective layer on the surface of titanium alloy, enhancing the surface's wear resistance and impact resistance.
[0017] The oxide protective film formed by perfluorooctanoic acid, the stable oxide layer generated by rare earth elements, and the physical barrier provided by graphite phase carbon nitride nanosheets work together to form a multi-layer protection system, which greatly improves the corrosion resistance of the titanium alloy surface. The low surface tension characteristics of perfluorooctanoic acid make it easier for rare earth elements to disperse and deposit evenly on the surface of titanium alloys, thereby forming a denser and more uniform oxide protective film. This synergistic effect not only improves the surface activity, but also enhances the quality and stability of the oxide layer. The low surface tension characteristics of perfluorooctanoic acid make it easier for rare earth elements to disperse and deposit evenly on the surface of titanium alloys, thereby forming a denser and more uniform oxide protective film. This synergistic effect not only improves the surface activity, but also enhances the quality and stability of the oxide layer.
[0018] The low surface tension of PFOA enables the graphite carbon nitride nanosheets to be more evenly distributed on the titanium alloy surface, ensuring that the current is evenly distributed during the electroplating process and avoiding local overheating or uneven current density. In addition, PFOA can also help the nanosheets adhere better to the titanium alloy surface, allowing the graphite carbon nitride nanosheets to form a uniform micro-nano structure on the titanium alloy surface, which not only maintains the smoothness of the surface, but also enhances the mechanical properties of the surface and enhances its stability.
[0019] Rare earth oxides and graphite carbon nitride nanosheets work together to form a multi-layer protection system. Rare earth oxides provide chemical and thermal stability, while graphite carbon nitride nanosheets provide a physical barrier. The two complement each other and significantly enhance the corrosion resistance of the titanium alloy surface. The self-healing function of rare earth oxides is combined with the photocatalytic activity of graphite carbon nitride nanosheets to form a dynamic self-cleaning system. When the surface is contaminated or damaged, rare earth oxides can quickly repair the damaged area, while graphite carbon nitride nanosheets can decompose pollutants through photocatalysis to maintain the clean state of the surface. By improving the hardness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the titanium alloy surface, the composite activation solution can significantly extend the service life of the product, reduce the frequency of maintenance and replacement, and bring long-term economic benefits.
