Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of metal surface treatment, and in particular relates to a nickel-cadmium plating method for gas turbine blades made of Cr17Ni2 and 1Cr16Ni2MoN. Background Art
[0002] In the field of gas turbines, materials Cr17Ni2 and 1Cr16Ni2MoN are often used for gas turbine compressor blades due to their excellent mechanical properties, good corrosion resistance and easy processing. However, in order to provide higher performance of the blades, it is often necessary to further surface treat the blades to improve corrosion resistance, enhance wear resistance and improve surface properties. Specifically, improve corrosion resistance: gas turbine blades will be exposed to various corrosive media during operation, such as high-temperature gas, moisture and impurities in the air. Nickel-cadmium plating can form a dense protective film on the surface of the blades, effectively preventing the erosion of the blades by the corrosive media and improving the corrosion resistance of the blades. The purpose of improving corrosion resistance is: gas turbine blades will be exposed to various corrosive media during operation, such as high-temperature gas, moisture and impurities in the air. Nickel-cadmium plating can form a dense protective film on the surface of the blades, effectively preventing the erosion of the blades by the corrosive media and improving the corrosion resistance of the blades. The purpose of enhancing wear resistance is that during high-speed rotation of gas turbine blades, they will rub against the surrounding air and other components. Nickel-cadmium plating can improve the hardness and wear resistance of the blade surface, reduce blade wear, and extend the service life of the blade. The purpose of improving surface performance is that nickel-cadmium plating can make the blade surface smoother, reduce airflow resistance, and improve the efficiency of the gas turbine. At the same time, it can also improve the antioxidant properties of the blades and prevent the blades from oxidizing and discoloring at high temperatures.
[0003] There are some obvious deficiencies in the existing methods for nickel-cadmium plating of gas turbine blades. The existing methods are relatively simple in process, which often leads to a lack of fine control of each link in the process. For example, the pre-plating treatment stage is not sufficient to effectively remove the oxide film, impurities, etc. on the surface of the blade, thereby affecting the bonding strength and quality of the subsequent coating. In the process of nickel-cadmium plating, the control of parameters such as solution composition, temperature, time, and current density is not strict enough, which can easily cause problems such as uneven coating thickness, rough surface, and defects. Moreover, the existing methods are not clear enough in terms of equipment material and structural requirements, which makes it easy for equipment to not meet process requirements, solution leakage, uneven stirring, etc. during the production process, further affecting the coating quality and production efficiency. In addition, the existing methods do not pay enough attention to intermediate links such as cleaning and activation, resulting in insufficient bonding strength between the coating and the blade substrate, and problems such as coating delamination are prone to occur, reducing the service life and reliability of the blade.
[0004] In view of the disadvantages of existing methods, it is particularly necessary to develop a new nickel-cadmium plating method for gas turbine blades made of Cr17Ni2 and 1Cr16Ni2MoN materials. Summary of the Invention
