Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Carbon steel has been widely used in manufacturing, construction, and mechanical engineering due to its good mechanical properties, low cost, and wide resource availability. However, carbon steel also has inherent defects, such as poor corrosion resistance and limited wear resistance. Especially in humid and corrosive environments, it is prone to wear and rust, which seriously affects the service life of mechanical equipment and components, causing economic losses.

[0003] Electroplating and spraying are commonly used surface coating preparation technologies, which mainly rely on physical bonding. The bonding force between the coating and the carbon steel substrate is weak, which makes it easy to wear and tear, and it is easy to peel off and delaminate under stress or thermal stress. The coating life is short and it can no longer meet the needs in many complex working conditions. At the same time, the chemical electrolyte in the electroplating process has certain pollution to the environment, and the dust and waste in the spraying are easy to pollute the air. Under the current environmental policies in the fields of energy conservation, emission reduction and green building, they are gradually being replaced.

[0004] Ultra-high-speed laser cladding technology is a technology that uses high-temperature energy to melt the coating material and deposit it on the surface of the substrate. Its advantage is that it can maintain a low dilution rate and obtain a fine and dense microstructure while ensuring a good metallurgical bond between the coating and the substrate. It can effectively improve the specific performance of the part surface and extend the service life of the part. It has been widely used in mechanical manufacturing, aerospace, petrochemical and other fields.

[0005] Existing laser cladding coating materials are primarily iron- and cobalt-based. However, iron-based coatings are prone to numerous defects during the preparation process, which can reduce the coating's performance and reliability. Cobalt-based coatings have poor mechanical properties and are relatively expensive, making them unsuitable for large-scale industrial production. In contrast, copper-based coatings offer not only excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, as well as corrosion resistance, but also good wear resistance, providing a more economical and practical solution for 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 generally have very high hardness and can significantly improve the overall hardness and wear resistance of the coating when added to the copper-based coating, but at the same time, the performance difference between the coating and the carbon steel material is inevitably large, which is prone to interface defects or stress concentration. Therefore, by adjusting the overall structure to form a transition region, gradually transitioning from the carbon steel material to the ceramic reinforced copper-based coating, and at the same time, surface re-strengthening the ceramic reinforced copper-based coating, is a new idea to improve defects, enhance the overall stability and surface performance of the coating. SUMMARY

[0007] To solve the above problems, the purpose of the present application is to provide a carbon steel surface cladding gradient copper coating and its preparation method, which uses copper-based coating material to cladding the surface of carbon steel substrate, the inner layer is copper-based alloy cladding powder, the outer layer is SiC ceramic reinforced copper-based wear-resistant powder, and the surface of the cladding coating is treated by ultrasonic rolling to form a gradient structure. This gradient coating not only has excellent thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance, as well as good lubrication and low friction coefficient, effectively improving the wear resistance of the surface of the equipment and parts, but also can avoid the occurrence of key problems such as material cracking and severe deformation.
