TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of material science and processing technology, and particularly relates to a composite high-energy beam pretreatment method for repairing thermal spraying metal coating. BACKGROUND
[0002] Nickel-based alloy is an ideal choice for marine environment protection due to its unique material properties. Its excellent corrosion resistance is derived from the good passivation ability of nickel itself, which can form a dense oxide film in the presence of chloride ions, effectively blocking the corrosion of corrosive media. Compared with ordinary carbon steel, the corrosion rate of nickel-based alloy can be reduced by two orders of magnitude, which makes it irreplaceable in the field of marine equipment protection. From the material composition, nickel-based alloy can be optimized by adjusting the proportion of alloying elements such as chromium, molybdenum, and copper, according to different marine environments. For example, the addition of 15% to 20% chromium can significantly improve the pitting corrosion resistance of the alloy, the addition of molybdenum can enhance the resistance to crevice corrosion, and the addition of copper can improve the stability of the alloy in deep-sea high-pressure environment. This composition adjustability enables nickel-based coating to adapt to various marine environments from the intertidal zone to the deep sea, exhibiting excellent environmental adaptability.
[0003] In practical engineering applications, thermal spraying nickel-based metal coating has shown excellent protective performance: the service life of a marine wind turbine foundation pile in the splash zone is extended from 10 years to more than 25 years after the application of nickel-chromium alloy coating; the wear resistance of a marine oil and gas Christmas tree valve surface is improved by 5 times after spraying nickel-based alloy, significantly reducing maintenance frequency; the application of nickel-aluminum bronze coating to the propeller shaft of a ship not only improves the cavitation erosion resistance, but also effectively solves the problem of galvanic corrosion. However, as the service time increases, the coating inevitably suffers local peeling, micro-cracks and other damages, which will accelerate the corrosion of the substrate and even cause structural failure if not repaired in time. The current repair process requires the removal of damaged coating, but the high bonding force (usually > 30 MPa) between nickel-based coating and substrate makes traditional sandblasting difficult: on the one hand, high-speed abrasive impact can effectively remove the oxide layer, but it will generate a large amount of dust pollution; on the other hand, excessive sandblasting may lead to uncontrollable surface roughness of the substrate, affecting the bonding performance of the new coating. Therefore, for high-melting-point, high-bonding-force metal coatings and metal composite coatings, a new pretreatment technology that takes into account environmental friendliness and efficiency is urgently needed, which should meet the following requirements: (1) accurately remove the failed coating without damaging the substrate; (2) the treatment process should have no pollution emissions; (3) it should create the best surface activity for re-spraying. The breakthrough of this technology will significantly improve the maintenance efficiency of nickel-based coating throughout its life cycle. SUMMARY
