Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of coatings, and particularly relates to a coating, a coating layer for promoting the formation of titanium hydride on titanium or titanium alloy, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Due to their stable and excellent physical and chemical properties, titanium and titanium alloys have been widely used in the fields of aerospace, chemical engineering, and petrochemical industry. However, in extreme acid / alkali environments or hydrogen-containing environments, titanium hydride (TiH

[0004] , , 0 < x ≤ 2) will form on the surface of titanium and titanium alloys, resulting in a decrease in their mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, and further reducing the comprehensive service performance of titanium and titanium alloys. Therefore, researchers have carried out research on TiH x in order to clarify the formation process of titanium hydride on titanium and titanium alloys and its influence on performance. Laboratory research is very important. In the laboratory, the formation of titanium hydride on the surface of titanium and titanium alloys is mainly through electrochemical hydrogen charging. During the electrochemical hydrogen charging process, hydrogen atoms reach the surface of titanium and titanium alloys under the action of electrochemical potential / current. After being adsorbed on the surface, they penetrate, diffuse, and dissolve into the matrix. When supersaturated in the matrix, H reacts with Ti to form TiH x .

[0003] Generally, during the electrochemical hydrogen charging process of titanium or titanium alloy, parameters such as external H concentration, temperature, hydrogen charging current, or hydrogen charging time need to be determined, and the growth stage of titanium hydride is characterized by morphology, phase, or thickness. If the electrochemical hydrogen charging efficiency needs to be improved under the condition that the external conditions remain unchanged, that is, on the premise that the diffusion rate and solubility of H in the matrix of titanium and titanium alloys are basically unchanged, and more hydrogen atoms enter the metal matrix per unit time, then the H adsorption amount on the surface of the titanium or titanium alloy matrix needs to be increased, the H concentration gradient from the surface to the core is increased, and the penetration driving force is increased, so as to increase the H penetration amount to form more TiH x . Therefore, covering a layer of coating that is easy to adsorb H and through which H can easily penetrate on the surface of titanium or titanium alloy can achieve the above purpose. However, coating the surface of a metal matrix with a coating related to hydrogen atoms usually refers to a hydrogen-blocking coating, whose main purpose is to prevent hydrogen atoms from entering the metal matrix, prevent or delay the formation of titanium hydride and the occurrence of hydrogen damage. There is no report on a coating that promotes hydrogen atoms to penetrate into the metal matrix to form titanium hydride. Therefore, how to promote the formation of titanium hydride on titanium or titanium alloy during the electrochemical hydrogen charging process has become an urgent technical problem in this field.

The present invention utilizes the electrocatalyst Ni3S2, Ni3N or Mo2C, which has the property of easily adsorbing and difficultly desorbing hydrogen atoms. During hydrogen charging, hydrogen atoms are easily adsorbed to the surface of the coating, resulting in a significant increase in the hydrogen atom concentration gradient on the coating surface, an increase in the driving force for hydrogen atom penetration, and the promotion of more hydrogen atoms into the titanium or titanium alloy, thereby promoting the conversion of the titanium or titanium alloy into titanium hydride.

[0038] The raw materials for preparing the coating for promoting the formation of titanium hydride on titanium or titanium alloys provided by the present invention also include a solvent; the solvent preferably includes an alcohol solvent and an inorganic solvent; the volume ratio of the alcohol solvent to the inorganic solvent is preferably (9.5-10.5):1. In the present invention, the solvent can dissolve the raw materials, and the use of an alcohol solvent and an inorganic solvent as the solvent can further promote the formation of titanium hydride on titanium or titanium alloys.

[0039] As an embodiment, the volume ratio of the alcohol solvent to the inorganic solvent may be 10:1.

[0040] In the present invention, the alcohol solvent is preferably isopropyl alcohol; and the inorganic solvent is preferably water.

In the present invention, the binder facilitates the adhesion of the coating to the substrate. When the binder is a perfluorosulfonic acid polytetrafluoroethylene copolymer solution, it forms a proton exchange membrane after drying, allowing hydrogen atoms to permeate. This increases the hydrogen atom concentration gradient from the surface to the core of the titanium or titanium alloy, increases the driving force for hydrogen atom penetration, and allows more hydrogen atoms to enter the titanium or titanium alloy, further promoting the conversion of the titanium or titanium alloy into titanium hydride.

[0042] In the present invention, the mass concentration of the perfluorosulfonic acid polytetrafluoroethylene copolymer (Nafion) solution, the sodium alginate solution or the sodium carboxymethylcellulose solution is independently preferably 4 to 6%, more preferably 5%.

The present invention limits the ratio of the total volume of the electrocatalyst and the solvent to the volume of the binder to the above range, which can further promote the formation of titanium hydride by titanium or titanium alloy.

[0045] The present invention utilizes electrocatalysts Ni3S2, Ni3N or Mo2C, which have the property of easily adsorbing but difficult to desorb hydrogen atoms. During hydrogen charging, hydrogen atoms are easily adsorbed to the surface of the coating, which greatly increases the hydrogen atom concentration gradient on the coating surface and the driving force for hydrogen atom penetration, thereby promoting more hydrogen atoms to enter the titanium or titanium alloy, thereby promoting the conversion of titanium or titanium alloy into titanium hydride.

[0134] Application Example 7

[0135] Two electrodes were used for hydrogen charging, that is, the Pt sheet was used as the anode, and the pure titanium coated with the coating prepared in Example 14 was used as the cathode. The electrolyte was a mixed solution of glycerol: phosphoric acid with a volume ratio of 1:1. The uncoated side of the cathode was covered with insulating silicone and did not contact the electrolyte. During the experiment, 50 mA / cm was applied between the cathode and the anode. 2 The hydrogen charging current was set at 1000 nm, the hydrogen charging was carried out for 24 hours, the hydrogen charging area was 10 mm × 10 mm, and after the hydrogen charging was completed, the sample was taken out, the coating was removed with acetone, and the thickness of the titanium hydride layer on the cross section of the sample was observed after washing and drying, and the thickness of the titanium hydride layer was found to be 10 to 12 μm.

[0140] Application Example 8

[0141] Two electrodes were used for hydrogen charging, i.e., a Pt sheet was used as the anode, and pure titanium coated with the coating prepared in Example 16 was used as the cathode.
