Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of metal coatings, and particularly relates to a gradient copper coating cladded on the surface of carbon steel and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Due to its good mechanical properties, low cost and wide availability of resources, carbon steel materials have been widely used in manufacturing, construction and mechanical engineering. However, carbon steel materials also have some inherent defects, such as poor corrosion resistance and limited wear resistance. Especially in humid and corrosive environments, they are prone to defects such as wear and rust, which seriously affect the service life of mechanical equipment and components and cause economic losses.

[0003] As common surface coating preparation technologies, electroplating and spraying mainly rely on physical bonding. The bonding force between the coating and the carbon steel substrate is weak, prone to wear, and prone to peeling and delamination under the action of stress or thermal stress. The coating life is short and it can no longer meet the requirements in many complex working conditions. At the same time, the chemical electrolyte in the electroplating process pollutes the environment to a certain extent, while the dust and waste in spraying are easy to pollute the air and are gradually replaced under the current environmental policies in the fields of energy conservation, emission reduction and green building.

[0004] The ultra-high speed laser cladding technology is a technology that melts and deposits the coating material on the surface of the substrate through a high heat source. Its advantage lies in that it can ensure good metallurgical bonding between the coating and the substrate while maintaining a low dilution rate and obtaining a fine and dense microstructure, effectively improving the specific performance of the part surface and extending the service life of the part. It has been widely used in fields such as mechanical manufacturing, aerospace, and petrochemical industry.

[0005] The existing laser cladding coating materials are mainly iron-based and cobalt-based. However, iron-based coatings are prone to many defects during the preparation process, resulting in a decline in the performance and reliability of the coatings. Cobalt-based coatings have poor mechanical properties and are also relatively expensive, not suitable for large-scale industrial production. In contrast, copper-based coatings not only have excellent thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance, but also have good wear resistance, providing a more economical and practical solution for the ultra-high speed laser cladding technology.

[0006] However, a single copper-based coating still cannot meet the higher performance requirements in some harsh environments. Ceramic particles usually have extremely high hardness. When added to the copper-based coating, they can significantly improve the overall hardness and wear resistance of the coating. However, at the same time, there will inevitably be a large difference in performance between the coating and the carbon steel material, which is likely to cause interface defects or stress concentration. Therefore, forming a transition region by adjusting the overall structure, gradually transitioning from the carbon steel material to the ceramic-reinforced copper-based coating, and simultaneously performing surface re-strengthening on the ceramic-reinforced copper-based coating is a new idea to improve defects and enhance the overall stability and surface performance of the coating. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To solve the above problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a gradient copper coating cladded on the surface of carbon steel and its preparation method. It uses copper-based coating materials to clad the surface of the carbon steel substrate. The inner layer is copper-based alloy cladding powder, and the outer layer is SiC ceramic-reinforced copper-based wear-resistant powder. The ultrasonic rolling technology is used to perform surface treatment on the cladded coating to form a tissue gradient. This gradient coating not only has excellent thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance, but also has good lubrication and a low friction coefficient, effectively improving the wear resistance of the surface of equipment and parts. At the same time, it can also avoid the occurrence of key problems such as cracking and severe deformation between materials.

[0008] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: On the one hand, the present invention provides a preparation method for a gradient copper coating cladded on the surface of carbon steel, including the following steps: Step 1, select copper-based alloy cladding powder, SiC ceramic particles, and carbon steel substrate, and perform pretreatment on the copper-based alloy cladding powder, SiC ceramic particles, and carbon steel substrate respectively; Step 2, use high-energy ball milling to fully mix the pretreated copper-based alloy cladding powder and the pretreated SiC ceramic particles in proportion to obtain uniform SiC ceramic-reinforced copper-based wear-resistant powder; Step 3, adopt coaxial powder feeding for the inner layer, set the inner layer cladding parameters, and use ultra-high-speed laser cladding technology to clad the copper-based alloy cladding powder on the surface of the carbon steel substrate and rapidly cool it; Step 4, adopt coaxial powder feeding for the outer layer, set the outer layer cladding parameters, and use ultra-high-speed laser cladding technology to clad the SiC ceramic-reinforced copper-based wear-resistant powder obtained in Step 2 on the outer surface of the inner layer, and wait for natural cooling to obtain a cladded SiC ceramic-reinforced copper-based wear-resistant coating; Step 5, perform ultrasonic rolling on the outer surface of the cladded SiC ceramic-reinforced copper-based wear-resistant coating; Step 6, clean the cladded gradient copper-based coating after ultrasonic rolling, and obtain the gradient copper coating cladded on the surface of carbon steel after cleaning.

[0010] Further, in the step 1, the copper-based alloy cladding powder, SiC ceramic particles, and carbon steel substrate are pretreated respectively. Among them, the pretreatment of the copper-based alloy cladding powder is specifically as follows: The copper-based alloy cladding powder is screened using a sieve to keep the particle size of the copper-based alloy cladding powder between 25 and 50 μm, then put into absolute ethanol for ultrasonic cleaning for 3-5 min, with an ultrasonic frequency of 100 kHz, and then dried at 120-150 °C for 10 min; surface impurities and oil stains are removed to prevent pores and cracks from being generated during the cladding process, ensure the cleanliness of the bonding interface between the copper-based alloy cladding powder and the carbon steel substrate, improve the wettability of the copper-based alloy cladding powder and the carbon steel substrate, and enhance the bonding force; Among them, the pretreatment of the SiC ceramic particles is specifically as follows: The SiC ceramic particles are screened using a sieve to keep the average particle size of the SiC ceramic particles at 8 μm, and then cleaned with deionized water and dried until the surface is dry; Among them, the pretreatment of the carbon steel substrate is specifically as follows: The surface of the carbon steel substrate is wiped with absolute ethanol and left to air dry naturally.

[0011] Further, in the step 2, the mass ratio of the copper-based alloy cladding powder to the SiC ceramic particles is 9-19:1.

[0012] Further, in the step 2, the pretreated copper-based alloy cladding powder and the pretreated SiC ceramic particles are fully mixed in proportion by means of high-energy ball milling. Specifically: The pretreated SiC ceramic particles and the pretreated copper-based alloy cladding powder are loaded into a ball milling tank in proportion and placed in a high-energy ball mill. Zirconia balls are selected as the ball milling medium, the ball-to-powder ratio is 8:1, the mixing time is set to 8 h, and the mixing rotation speed is 1400 r / min to obtain uniform SiC ceramic-reinforced copper-based wear-resistant powder.

[0013] Further, in the step 3, the inner layer cladding parameters are set, including: laser power of 1500-2000 W, scanning speed of 800-1500 mm / min, single-pass lateral displacement of 1.0-1.5 mm, overlap rate of 40%, powder feeding rate of 15-25 g / min, protective gas flow rate of 15-30 L / min, and powder feeding gas flow rate of 6-10 L / min.

[0014] Further, in step 4, the outer layer cladding parameters are set, including: laser power of 1300 - 1800 W, scanning rate of 800 - 1500 mm / min, single-pass lateral displacement of 1.0 - 1.5 mm, overlapping rate of 40%, powder feeding rate of 15 - 25 g / min, protective gas flow rate of 15 - 30 L / min, and powder feeding gas flow rate of 6 - 10 L / min.

[0015] Further, the specific conditions for ultrasonic rolling in step 5 are: ultrasonic frequency of 25 - 30 kHz, rolling pressure of 300 - 400 N, rolling rate of 300 - 420 mm / min, ultrasonic amplitude of 8 - 12 μm, number of contact times of 3 - 6 times, and processing temperature at room temperature.

[0016] Further, the specific conditions for cleaning in step 6 are: wiping the surface of the clad gradient copper-based coating after ultrasonic rolling with anhydrous ethanol and air drying naturally.

[0017] On the other hand, the present invention also provides a carbon steel surface clad gradient copper coating prepared by the method for preparing a carbon steel surface clad gradient copper coating as described above.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: 1. The present invention adopts a clad preparation method with a copper-based alloy clad powder as the inner layer for transition, which has the following advantages: the introduction of the transition layer can reduce the large differences in thermal expansion coefficient and physical properties between the outer layer clad SiC ceramic-reinforced copper-based wear-resistant coating and the carbon steel substrate, effectively relieve the stress concentration between the clad SiC ceramic-reinforced copper-based wear-resistant coating and the carbon steel substrate, and at the same time can also prevent cracks or delamination of the clad SiC ceramic-reinforced copper-based wear-resistant coating due to thermal stress during the cladding process or subsequent use, thereby improving the bonding strength between the overall wear-resistant coating and the substrate surface.

[0019] 2. The present invention uses ultrasonic rolling technology to perform surface treatment on the prepared clad SiC ceramic-reinforced copper-based wear-resistant coating, forming a tissue gradient with gradually refined grains from the inside to the outside surface within the wear-resistant coating, effectively increasing the surface hardness and wear resistance, improving the surface density and uniformity to enhance the corrosion resistance, improving the fatigue resistance of the wear-resistant coating by introducing surface compressive stress, extending the service life, and at the same time being able to reduce the surface roughness, making the surface smoother, and further promoting the wear resistance.

[0020] 3. The present invention realizes the effective combination of the ultra-high speed laser cladding technology and the ultrasonic rolling technology. By means of the ultra-high speed laser cladding technology, the copper-based alloy cladding powder is cladded on the outer surface of the carbon steel matrix, so as to form a good metallurgical bond between the inner copper-based coating and the carbon steel matrix. At the same time, the ultrasonic rolling technology is carried out on the surface of the cladded SiC ceramic-reinforced copper-based wear-resistant coating. It can not only improve the wear resistance of the surface of the cladded SiC ceramic-reinforced copper-based wear-resistant coating and reduce the roughness, but also the ultrasonic vibration during the ultrasonic rolling process can reduce the residual stress on the surface and inside of the material caused by the ultra-high speed laser cladding technology. In particular, it can effectively relieve the thermal stress difference between the carbon steel matrix and copper, enhance the bonding strength between the inner copper-based coating and the carbon steel matrix, and further improve the overall adhesion of the coating. At the same time, while increasing the hardness, the risk of coating rupture caused by stress concentration is reduced. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
