Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a zinc-aluminum-magnesium alloy powder-coated steel sheet and its preparation method. It belongs to the field of steel sheet preparation technology. Background Technology

[0002] With economic development and the construction of engineering facilities, the demand for steel plates is increasing. Marine engineering construction requires a large amount of steel plates as frame supports or pillars. As is well known, the marine environment is characterized by high salinity, high humidity, and sea breeze erosion, making it extremely corrosive to metal materials. Long-term immersion in seawater, corrosion, and oxidation from the air will cause steel plates to rust, deteriorate their mechanical properties, ultimately leading to workpiece failure, posing safety hazards, and causing huge losses. Therefore, improving corrosion resistance is paramount for steel plates used in marine engineering construction.

[0003] Galvanized steel sheets are inexpensive, have excellent performance, and are widely used. In marine environments, the zinc layer of galvanized steel sheets initially reacts with chloride ions and oxygen in seawater to form corrosion products, which to some extent inhibits subsequent corrosion. However, with prolonged exposure to the marine environment, the zinc layer is gradually consumed, eventually leading to corrosion and perforation. To improve the corrosion resistance of galvanized steel sheets, chromate passivation is commonly used for passivation protection. However, chromates severely pollute the environment and are highly toxic to humans, making them less than environmentally friendly.

[0004] Patent application CN106637184A discloses a process for preparing corrosion-resistant steel plates. The process involves impact grinding of the steel plate surface with alumina or corundum to roughen it and provide space for alumina powder to fill. Alumina powder with a particle size of 5-10 μm is then coated and used to fill the steel plate surface. The alumina-coated steel plate is then heated at 800-1200℃ for 10-20 minutes to ensure a tight bond between the alumina and the steel plate, and finally, fine grinding is performed to achieve a smooth surface. This patent application primarily achieves corrosion resistance through a surface alumina layer or by further coating the surface with a corrosion-resistant material PTEE. However, the corrosion resistance of this steel plate is generally limited and cannot meet the requirements for use in marine environments.

[0005] Patent CN116875938B discloses a corrosion-resistant composite steel plate and its preparation process. The process involves processing molten steel to obtain a steel plate; then, using silicon powder, ferrosilicon powder, and coal gangue powder as main infiltrating agents, the steel plate is heated and infiltrated with silicon to obtain a modified steel plate; the modified steel plate is pretreated, and then a coating is applied to its surface to obtain the finished product. This patented technology uses a coating prepared from modified water-based acrylic emulsion and curing agent amino resin to achieve corrosion protection for the steel plate. However, long-term use in a marine environment carries the risk of peeling off, resulting in the loss of its protective effect. Summary of the Invention

[0110] The specific process of step (2) is as follows:

[0111] (2-1) Place the steel plate that has been dip-coated once in a multi-arc ion plating machine, evacuate the vacuum chamber until the pressure is less than 0.1 Pa, and heat it to 480℃ at a constant rate for 1 hour.

[0112] (2-2) Targets No. 1 and No. 3 are titanium targets, and targets No. 2 and No. 4 are zirconium targets. All doors of targets No. 2 and No. 4 are opened. The bias voltage is 150V. Nitrogen and acetylene are introduced into the vacuum chamber. The flow rate of nitrogen is 300sccm and the flow rate of acetylene is 20sccm.

[0113] (2-3) Open all doors of target material No. 2 and No. 4, open doors of target material No. 1 and No. 3 halfway, set the bias voltage to 80V, and introduce nitrogen into the vacuum chamber at a flow rate of 400sccm.

[0114] (2-4) Open all the doors of target material No. 1, No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4, set the bias voltage to 100V, and introduce nitrogen into the vacuum chamber at a flow rate of 350sccm.

[0115] (2-5) Open all doors of target material No. 2 and No. 4, set the bias voltage to 80V, and introduce nitrogen into the vacuum chamber at a flow rate of 380sccm.

[0116] The properties of the steel plates obtained in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 were tested respectively. For ease of comparison, Q355B was selected as the base material for all steel plates. Specifically, the tests included:

[0117] 1. Test the impact energy (KV2) at 0℃ according to GB / T229-2020 "Metallic Materials Charpy Pendulum Impact Test Method".

[0118] 2. Under the conditions of 35℃ temperature, 70%RH humidity and sodium chloride salt spray corrosion, a weight loss corrosion test was conducted, with the steel plate substrate as a control, and the relative value of the weight loss corrosion rate was calculated.

[0119] The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0122] As shown in Table 1, the steel plates obtained in Examples 1 to 3 have excellent impact resistance and corrosion resistance, and can adapt to the impact of waves and seawater erosion in the marine environment.

[0123] Comparative Example 1 omitted the preparation of the zirconium-titanium layer, and Comparative Example 2 omitted the heating and diffusion plating of cubic boron nitride micropowder. Both the impact resistance and corrosion resistance were significantly worse, indicating that the multi-layer protection of the present invention works together to improve the performance of the steel plate.

[0124] While the specific embodiments of the present invention have been described above, they are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Based on the technical solutions of the present invention, various modifications or variations that can be made by those skilled in the art without creative effort are still within the scope of protection of the present invention.
