Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention specifically relates to a lightweight heat-insulating electromagnetic wave absorbing and high-energy protective integrated coating and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of electromagnetic wave absorbing materials. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of electronic information technology, electromagnetic radiation interference on industrial equipment has become increasingly prominent. Improving the electromagnetic wave absorption performance of protective coatings on equipment surfaces is one of the core technologies for achieving electromagnetic interference resistance and ensuring stable operation. Furthermore, for industrial laser equipment (such as laser rangefinders and melt pool monitoring systems) and glass manufacturing hot-end equipment operating under high-intensity energy, there is an urgent need to combine high-energy protection capabilities with efficient electromagnetic wave absorption. Specifically, by manipulating the electromagnetic parameters of industrial equipment surface coating materials and implementing appropriate structural designs, the coating's absorption capacity for specific electromagnetic wave bands can be enhanced, protecting the production control system from electromagnetic interference and significantly improving the equipment's overall electromagnetic protection performance. Furthermore, by combining the design and control of the surface coating's light reflectivity and thermal insulation properties, the risk of damage to industrial equipment caused by extreme environments such as high temperatures caused by high-energy beam loading can be significantly reduced. Traditional approaches employ separate application of the absorber layer and the high-energy protective coating. For example, previous work has employed a three-layer structure consisting of a cracking absorber layer, a heat dissipation layer, and a thermal insulation layer. However, this resulting interfacial thermal stress mismatch can lead to delamination between the layers. In addition, the increase in thickness and weight caused by multi-layer coating makes it difficult to meet the demand for lightweighting of industrial equipment. Therefore, the present invention proposes to use highly reflective ceramic materials to modify the surface of traditional absorbing materials carbonyl iron (CIP) particles, and construct lightweight hollow heterostructures using sol-gel and solvothermal methods. On the one hand, combined with the design of the gradient distribution of electromagnetic parameters and the precise control of the thickness of the hollow shell, while greatly improving the electromagnetic wave absorption performance, the synergistic optimization of impedance matching and laser energy dispersion in the millimeter wave band is achieved. On the other hand, the high reflectivity and low thermal conductivity of the surface ceramic are used to reduce the risk of laser and thermal damage. In addition, the designed hollow heterostructure can achieve overall weight reduction due to its low density characteristics, and combine interface phonon scattering to suppress local heat accumulation, and further reduce the thermal conductivity of the material system through the air barrier effect, thereby establishing a coupling mechanism between electromagnetic wave absorption, high-energy protection and lightweight performance. This technology is not only suitable for extreme industrial environments, but its lightweight design can also provide an efficient solution for mobile industrial detection equipment and advanced equipment requiring multi-spectrum compatible protection. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a lightweight thermal insulation electromagnetic wave absorption and high-energy protection integrated coating and its preparation method. A zirconium oxide (ZrO2) shell layer is superimposed and coated on the surface of a silicon oxide (SiO2) shell layer by a sol-gel method. Subsequently, the SiO2 shell layer is removed by a hydrothermal method, and CIP@Air@ZrO2 powder is obtained by high-temperature calcination. The prepared powder is evenly mixed with a silicate high-temperature resistant glue, and a coating is prepared on an aluminum alloy substrate by a brushing process, and the coating is cured at a certain temperature. The raw materials for preparation mainly include: carbonyl iron (CIP), tetraethyl silicate (TEOS), ammonia water (NH3·H2O), γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (KH550), zirconium n-propoxide (C 12 H 28 O4Zr), sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and silicate high temperature resistant glue, etc.

[0004] The specific technical solutions of the present invention are as follows:

[0005] Step 1. Add 1-2g of CIP to 5-20mL of water, 0.5-2mL of KH550, and 200-500mL of alcohol, stir mechanically for 1-3h, and add 5-20mL of NH3·H2O to adjust the pH. Subsequently, use a peristaltic pump to dropwise add 50-150mL of alcohol solution containing 0.25-2mL of TEOS (peristaltic pump speed is 20-60r / min), and continue mechanical stirring at 30-50℃ for 10-24h (mechanical stirring speed is 200-600r / min). After stirring, separate and dry by magnetic separation to obtain CIP@SiO2 powder.

[0006] Step 2. Add the CIP@SiO2 powder obtained in step 1 to 200-500 mL of alcohol and use a peristaltic pump to add 0.25-1.5 mL of C 12 H 28 Add 50-150mL of alcohol solution of O4Zr (peristaltic pump speed is 20-60r / min), and continue mechanical stirring for 12-24h (mechanical stirring speed is 200-600r / min). After aging at room temperature for 12-36h, wash with alcohol and separate for later use. If CIP@SiO2@ZrO2 powder is to be obtained directly, it needs to be sintered to 500-600℃ in a nitrogen atmosphere, with a heating rate of 2-5℃ / min, kept warm for 1-5h, and then cooled with the furnace;

[0007] Step 3. Add 100-300 mL of 0.6-1.2 mol / L NaOH solution to the powder obtained in step 2 and mechanically stir at 45-65°C for 18-48 hours (mechanical stirring speed is 200-600 r / min). After drying, sinter the powder to 500-600°C in a nitrogen atmosphere at a heating rate of 2-5°C / min, hold the temperature for 1-5 hours, and then cool the furnace to obtain CIP@Air@ZrO2 powder.

[0008] Step 4. The powder prepared according to the above steps 1 to 3 is evenly mixed with the silicate high temperature resistant glue in a ratio of 0.5 to 2:1, and a coating is formed by brushing. After standing in a constant temperature and humidity chamber for 24 to 48 hours, it is placed in a blast drying oven for further curing. The curing process is set to 60°C / 8 to 14 hours → 70 to 80°C / 6 to 8 hours → 100 to 120°C / 1 to 4 hours.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] A lightweight thermal insulation electromagnetic wave absorption and high-energy protection integrated coating and a preparation method thereof, the specific steps are as follows:

[0031] Step 1. 1g of CIP was added to 10mL of water, 1mL of KH550, and 200mL of alcohol. The mixture was mechanically stirred for 2h, and 5mL of NH3·H2O was added to adjust the pH. Subsequently, a peristaltic pump was used to dropwise add 0.5mL of TEOS in 50mL of alcohol solution (at a speed of 60r / min). Mechanical stirring was continued at 40°C for 10h (at a speed of 350r / min). After stirring, the mixture was separated and dried by magnetic separation to obtain CIP@SiO2 powder.

To directly obtain CIP@SiO2@ZrO2 powder, sinter it to 550℃ in a nitrogen atmosphere at a heating rate of 3℃ / min and a holding time of 2h, followed by furnace cooling.

[0033] Step 3. Add 100 mL of 0.8 mol / L NaOH solution to the powder obtained in Step 2 and mechanically stir at 55°C for 24 hours (at a speed of 350 rpm). After drying, sinter the mixture to 550°C in a nitrogen atmosphere at a heating rate of 3°C / min. Hold the mixture for 2 hours and then cool it in the furnace to obtain CIP@Air@ZrO2 powder.

Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the minimum reflection loss of the modified powder is -60.64dB, which completely covers the 8-12GHz band and the effective absorption bandwidth remains almost unchanged. Figure 5As shown in the figure, the reflectivity in the near infrared band is increased by nearly 40%, showing a high reflective performance. The thermal insulation performance of the coating is as follows Figure 6 As shown, it can be seen that the coating has excellent thermal insulation performance, can effectively block heat transfer, and significantly reduce the surface temperature of industrial equipment.
