Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of metal materials, and particularly relates to a metal powder material for repairing high-speed train wheels, a preparation method thereof, and a usage method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Wheels and rails are important components required for train operation. With the development of trains in China towards high speed and heavy load, the damage problems of train wheels and rails have become more prominent. Among them, the peeling and chipping of the rail and the wheel tread are damage forms that seriously affect the safe operation of trains. After the wheel and rail tread are damaged, the common practice is to turn and grind the wheels. When the peeling depth is large, resulting in too many turning or grinding times, the wheels and rails will be scrapped due to reaching the size limit, greatly affecting the service life of the wheels and rails. This not only increases the operation cost but also causes a great waste of resources.

[0003] The damaged part can be repaired by laser cladding to restore its original size and performance. For example, Chinese Patent CN107620060A discloses a metal powder for laser cladding to repair 160CrNiMo semi-steel rolls. The mass fraction of the chemical composition of the metal powder is: 0.05 - 0.30% C, 0.20 - 1.80% Si, 0.10 - 1.60% Mn, 10.0 - 20.0% Cr, 0.30 - 3.55% Mo, 0.50 - 3.55% Ni, P ≤ 0.030%, S ≤ 0.030%, 0.20 - 1.80% B. The particle size distribution of the powder is: 50 - 200μm, and the fluidity is: 12 - 25s / 50g. When this metal powder is used for laser cladding repair, although cracks, holes and other defects in the wheels can be repaired, during the cladding process, due to the different melting points of each metal element, and the uneven particle size distribution and irregular shape, part of the powder is difficult to be completely melted, resulting in problems such as lack of fusion defects and increased porosity, and the repair effect is not very ideal, which has a certain impact on the operation of the wheels. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides a metal powder material for repairing high-speed train wheels, a preparation method thereof, and a usage method thereof. By designing a suitable base metal composition and ratio, and adding an appropriate amount of nano-oxide powder, the obtained metal powder material has good dispersibility and reduced friction between particles, which helps to reduce the formation of later hole defects; and enables all the metal powder to be fully melted, and after rapid solidification, a surface coating with extremely low dilution and metallurgical bonding with the base material is formed, thereby ensuring the quality and performance of the cladding layer.

[0005] To achieve the above object, a first aspect of the present invention provides a metal powder material for repairing high-speed train wheels. The metal powder material includes a base metal powder portion and a nano-oxide additive portion. The nano-oxide additive portion is 1.0 - 1.6% of the total mass of the base metal powder portion. Among them,

[0006] The components and mass percentages of the base metal powder portion are: C ≤ 0.56%, Si ≤ 0.40%, Mn ≤ 0.80%, Cr 10.0 - 20.0%, Mo 0.30 - 1.25%, P ≤ 0.020%, S ≤ 0.015%, B 0.20 - 1.80%, Ni 5.0 - 7.0%, Cu 2.0 - 3.0%, Nb 0.02 - 0.05%, Re 1.2 - 1.8%, and the balance is Fe and unavoidable impurities;

[0007] The nano-oxide additive portion is composed of zirconia nanopowder and yttria nanopowder, and the mass ratio of zirconia nanopowder to yttria nanopowder is 1:(1.0 - 1.6).

[0008] Furthermore, the nano-oxide additive portion is obtained by ball-milling and mixing zirconia nanopowder and yttria nanopowder.

[0009] Furthermore, the base metal powder portion is an alloy powder of the components included.

[0010] Furthermore, the particle size of the base metal powder portion is 15 - 100 μm, preferably 30 - 60 μm; the zirconia nanopowder is flaky, the yttria nanopowder is rod-shaped, and the particle sizes of the zirconia nanopowder and the yttria nanopowder are 20 - 80 nm, preferably 30 - 50 nm. The particle sizes of the above nano-powders refer to the particle sizes when equivalent to the volume of spherical particles.

[0011] A second aspect of the present invention provides a preparation method of the above metal powder material for repairing high-speed train wheels. The preparation method includes the following steps for preparing the nano-oxide additive portion:

[0012] (1) Add zirconium oxychloride to deionized water to dissolve it, and then drop in phosphoric acid solution. During the dropping process, mechanical stirring is accompanied to form a precursor sol. Then transfer the obtained precursor sol to a reaction kettle and carry out hydrothermal reaction for 24 - 30 h. After the reaction ends, wash the obtained product by centrifugation and dry it at 70 - 80 °C to obtain flaky zirconia nanopowder;

[0013] (2) Dissolve yttrium nitrate in deionized water to obtain a yttrium nitrate solution. Adjust the pH value of the saturated sodium hydroxide solution to 12 - 13, and then perform forward titration. Titrate the yttrium nitrate solution into the above-mentioned sodium hydroxide solution at an average speed of 2.0 - 2.6 mL / min to obtain a precipitate precursor. Transfer the precipitate precursor into a reaction kettle, carry out hydrothermal reaction for 24 - 30 h. After the reaction, filter, wash with deionized water and absolute ethanol, and vacuum dry at 80 - 90 °C for 4 - 6 h. Place the dried powder in a calcination furnace and calcine for 5 - 8 h, and then naturally cool to room temperature to obtain rod-shaped yttrium oxide nano-powder;

[0014] (3) Mix zirconium oxide nano-powder and yttrium oxide nano-powder evenly to obtain an abrasive. Then mix the abrasive with water and pour it into a ball mill. Use zirconia balls as the grinding medium, and ball mill for 1 - 2 h according to a ball-to-material ratio of (2 - 3):1. After the treatment is completed, centrifuge and wash the product and then dry it to obtain the nano-oxide addition part.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment, in step (1), the ratio of zirconium oxychloride, deionized water, and phosphoric acid solution is (1.5 - 2.3) g:(5 - 10) mL:(15 - 20) mL, and the phosphoric acid solution is an aqueous solution with a concentration of 3.0 - 3.4 mol / L; the rotation speed of the mechanical stirring is 500 - 800 r / min; the temperature of the hydrothermal reaction is 200 - 210 °C.

[0017] As a preferred embodiment, in step (3), the mass ratio of the abrasive to water is 1:(0.9 - 1.1).

[0018] Furthermore, the preparation method further includes preparing the base metal powder part and mixing the base metal powder part and the nano-oxide addition part evenly.

[0019] The base metal powder part can be prepared by alloying the raw material components, vacuum hot melting, atomizing and spraying powder, and then performing particle size screening, or other methods for preparing metal powder materials in the prior art, such as mechanical alloying method, plasma rotating electrode atomization method, spray deposition method, etc.

[0020] In one embodiment, the base metal powder portion is obtained by forming elemental metal powder from one or more elemental components in the base metal powder portion and then mixing it with alloy powder of the remaining elemental components. For example, Cr, Ni, Cu, and / or Fe can be formed into elemental metal powder and then mixed with alloy powder of the remaining elemental components to obtain the base metal powder portion, which is advantageous when certain process conditions need to be adjusted, such as adjusting the alloy melting point.

[0021] The third aspect of the present invention provides a method of using the metal powder material for repairing high-speed train wheels, which is used for laser cladding repair of high-speed train wheels and includes the following steps:

[0022] S1. Grind the area to be repaired on the wheel to remove the surface oxide layer, stains, and surface fatigue cracks, wipe it with alcohol, and then perform penetrant flaw detection to confirm that there are no crack and hole defects in the area to be repaired; measure the length, width, and depth of the area to be repaired, and write a process program for laser cladding based on the obtained data;

[0023] S2. Under the action of a magnetic field, apply intermittent ultrasonic vibration, and use a fiber laser to perform laser cladding on the area to be repaired. Among them, the above-mentioned metal powder material for repairing high-speed train wheels is used as the metal powder for laser cladding, and argon with a purity greater than 99.9% is used as the metal powder carrier gas and molten pool protection gas during the cladding process;

[0024] S3. After the laser cladding is completed, perform penetrant flaw detection on the area treated by laser cladding again to determine that no crack and hole defects are shown; grind the laser cladding allowance to restore the size and wheel shape of the wheel, and make the surface quality of the repaired area of the wheel meet the use requirements; finally, use ultrasonic flaw detection method to detect the repaired area of the wheel to ensure that there are no internal defects affecting the use safety in the repaired wheel.

[0025] As a preferred embodiment, in step S2, the intensity of the magnetic field is 1.0 - 1.2T; the power of the intermittent ultrasonic vibration is 200 - 300W, the ultrasonic vibration device generating ultrasonic waves is non-contact with the wheel, and the ultrasonic vibration device stops operating for 20 - 30s after continuously operating for 1 - 2min and then resumes operation, and this cycle repeats.

[0026] As a preferred embodiment, in step S2, the diameter of the focused laser spot for laser cladding is 2 - 10mm, the scanning rate is set to 10 - 20mm / s; the laser power range used is 1500 - 3000W, and the laser energy is evenly distributed in the spot plane.

[0027] As a preferred embodiment, in step S2, the flow rate of the carrier gas for the metal powder is 5 - 10 L / min, the flow rate of the molten pool protective gas is 10 - 20 L / min, and the metal powder feeding speed is set to 10 - 25 g / min.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0029] 1. In the present invention, zirconium oxychloride and phosphoric acid are used as the zirconium source and phosphorus source, and nano - sheet - shaped zirconia nano - powder is obtained through a hydrothermal reaction; at the same time, yttrium nitrate is used as a raw material, and a yttrium oxide precursor is synthesized by a hydrothermal method under alkaline conditions, and then nano - rod - shaped yttrium oxide nano - powder can be obtained through high - temperature calcination; then, zirconia balls are used as the ball - milling medium, and the zirconia nano - powder and yttrium oxide nano - powder are wet - ball - milled. Under the action of ball - milling, the edges and corners of the nano - sheet - shaped zirconia nano - powder and nano - rod - shaped yttrium oxide nano - powder can be polished, making the edges and corners more rounded, and some irregular protrusions on the surface of the nano - sheets and nano - rods can be polished off, making the surface smoother and flatter, which helps to form better relative sliding and relative rolling and reduce the frictional resistance between particles.

[0030] 2. In the present invention, during the laser cladding of wheel defects, since the metal powder material is composed of multiple metal elements with different melting points, during the cladding process, some low - melting - point metal elements first melt into a liquid state, while the high - melting - point elements remain solid. At this time, the liquid metal has a large viscous effect, and the surface of the metal particles is rough with a large frictional force, resulting in it being difficult for the solid - state metal particles to be evenly dispersed. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the viscous effect so that the metal particles can be dispersed. In the present invention, the prepared nano - material is added. The sheet - shaped zirconia nano - powder in the nano - material has a high melting point and can adhere to the surface of the metal particles in the early stage to form a physical adsorption lubricating film with low shear force, separating the originally rough friction surface of the metal particles, making the friction between particles become the relative sliding between nano - sheet layers or between the nano - sheet and the particle surface, thereby reducing the frictional resistance suffered by the metal particles during movement, which is beneficial to uniform dispersion and helps to reduce the formation of later hole defects; at the same time, the high - melting - point rod - shaped yttrium oxide nano - powder can act as a rolling roller, causing rolling friction between metal particles, further reducing the frictional resistance, enabling the metal particles to be highly dispersed and evenly distributed, and all metal components can be fully melted and simultaneously melted with a thin layer on the wheel surface, so that a surface coating with extremely low dilution and metallurgical bonding with the substrate material is formed after rapid solidification, ensuring the quality and performance of the cladding layer.

[0031] 3. In the present invention, during the laser cladding process, the Lorentz force induced by applying a magnetic field inhibits the fluid motion, thereby reducing the formation of pores. Moreover, by applying intermittent ultrasonic vibrations in a non-contact manner, the migration movement of metal powder is slow and gradual under the action of ultrasound. This not only promotes the migration movement of metal powder but also avoids the overflow of molten metal caused by violent movement, enabling the molten metal to fully fill the defects in the wheel.

[0032] 4. In the present invention, a metal powder material is formed by mixing base metal powder and nanomaterials. This material has high strength, high toughness, and hardness. During the laser cladding process, under the application of a magnetic field and intermittent ultrasonic oscillations, the uniform dispersion of metal particles is effectively promoted, enabling all metal powders to be fully melted, thereby reducing the formation of defects, improving the quality and performance of the cladding layer, ensuring that the repaired position can be perfectly integrated with the wheel, meeting the normal safety performance requirements, avoiding or reducing wheel replacement, and thus reducing the maintenance cost.
