Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of sealing materials technology, specifically to a ceramic surface composite coating for resisting hard particle environments and a method for preparing the composite coating. Background Technology
[0002] Silicon carbide and silicon nitride ceramics, due to their combination of high hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance, have become the preferred sealing materials for high-end sealing applications such as aero-engines, chemical pumps and valves, and semiconductor equipment. However, under extreme friction conditions, their surfaces may still experience wear, leading to seal failure. Therefore, improving the wear resistance of the ceramic end face is crucial for achieving a long service life.
[0003] Currently, technicians are using diamond coatings and diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings to improve the wear resistance of silicon carbide or silicon nitride sealing components. Diamond coatings can significantly improve the tribological properties of silicon carbide or silicon nitride; however, because the rough surface of diamond coatings increases the possibility of seal failure and leakage, complex polishing processes are generally required. Diamond-like carbon coatings are composed of C-sp from the diamond phase. 3 Bonds and graphite phase C-sp 2 Amorphous carbon materials formed by bond mixing have excellent properties such as smooth surface, friction reduction and wear resistance and strong chemical inertness. However, diamond-like carbon coatings have large differences in physical properties from silicon carbide and silicon nitride, and their intrinsic high stress makes them prone to peeling and failure.
[0004] Patent document CN119615105A discloses a composite coating for the surface of ceramic sealing materials. This composite coating includes a diamond transition layer on the ceramic sealing material substrate and a diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating on the diamond transition layer. The preparation method specifically includes the following steps: S1, depositing a diamond coating on the surface of the ceramic sealing material substrate using hot-wire plasma vapor deposition; S2, depositing a DLC coating on the surface of the diamond coating obtained in step S1 using linear ion beam vapor deposition, thus obtaining the composite coating on the surface of the ceramic sealing material. However, in practical applications, the diamond coating surface is rough, making subsequent polishing processes difficult. Furthermore, the diamond layer composite DLC coating scheme involves multiple preparation techniques, placing relatively high demands on equipment and processes.
[0005] Patent document CN120081689A discloses a diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating for a ceramic substrate surface. The preparation method of this coating specifically includes the following steps: S1, using linear ion beam technology with argon as the working gas, etching is performed on the ceramic substrate surface using ionized argon ions to obtain a serrated microstructure; S2, using linear ion beam vapor deposition with acetylene / methane as the working gas, an interfacial mixing layer is formed on the etched ceramic substrate surface by ionizing hydrocarbon precursors, thereby depositing a diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating for use on the ceramic substrate surface. This method improves the film-substrate adhesion between the substrate and the DLC coating by forming microstructures and an interfacial mixing layer on the surface through ion beam etching.
[0006] While the aforementioned diamond-like carbon coatings on ceramic end faces possess sufficient hardness and wear resistance, their toughness is insufficient due to the high stress and brittleness caused by the manufacturing process. Under actual abrasive conditions, they are prone to brittle spalling, leading to coating failure. For example, environments such as sediment, crystalline salt deposits in nuclear power plant seawater circulating pumps, or sludge on the shaft end of wastewater treatment centrifugal pumps, can exacerbate the brittle fracture and delamination problems of the coating.
[0007] In summary, developing protective coating technologies suitable for silicon carbide or silicon nitride ceramic sealing faces that can withstand high-load friction, corrosion, and hard particle erosion over long periods remains a key challenge in this field. Summary of the Invention
[0008] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a ceramic surface composite coating for use in environments resistant to hard particles. This coating solves the problems of easy brittle peeling and wear of existing coatings in hard particle environments, significantly improves the friction and wear performance of ceramic seals, extends the service life of components, and effectively reduces the risk of seal failure in actual working conditions.
[0009] The specific technical solution adopted is as follows: A composite coating for ceramic surfaces used in environments resistant to hard particles includes a diamond-like carbon substrate deposited on a substrate using acetylene as a carbon source and a diamond-like carbon substrate deposited on the substrate using methane as a carbon source.
[0010] In this invention, the diamond-like carbon substrate deposited using acetylene as the carbon source gas has a low internal hydrogen content and C-Csp content. 3 The higher number of bonds provides the composite coating with high hardness and strong adhesion to the substrate; the diamond-like carbon top layer deposited using methane as the carbon source gas has a high internal hydrogen content and more CH bonds, giving the composite coating toughness.
[0011] Preferably, the thickness ratio of the diamond-like carbon (DLC) substrate to the DLC top layer is 0.3 to 3:1. Within this thickness ratio range, the high hardness and elastic modulus of the substrate have a more significant load-bearing capacity, while the top layer has a stronger buffering effect on stress concentration in the substrate. The top layer can prevent stress concentration in the substrate and interface under load, and the composite coating is less prone to strip-like peeling and brittle peeling.
[0012] Preferably, the thickness of the diamond-like carbon substrate is 0.2~10 μm. This thickness range can ensure sufficient film-substrate bonding strength while avoiding internal stress accumulation due to excessive thickness. The thickness of the diamond-like carbon top layer is 0.2~10 μm. This thickness can take into account the coating toughness while maintaining a low coefficient of friction and erosion resistance.
[0013] Preferably, the substrate is silicon carbide or silicon nitride.
[0014] Preferably, the composite coating comprises a diamond phase and a graphite phase, with a hardness of 15~25 GPa.
[0015] The present invention also provides a method for preparing the ceramic surface composite coating for resisting hard particle environments, comprising the following steps: (1) A diamond-like carbon substrate was deposited on the substrate surface using acetylene as the carbon source gas by linear ion beam physical vapor deposition. (2) A diamond-like top layer is deposited on a diamond-like bottom layer by using methane as the carbon source gas through linear ion beam physical vapor deposition to obtain the ceramic surface composite coating for resisting hard particle environment.
[0016] Preferably, in step (1), the substrate is etched before depositing the diamond-like carbon (DLC) underlayer. The etching process conditions are: argon flow rate 30~40 sccm, a bias voltage of -50~-350 V applied to the substrate surface, ion source current 0.1-0.8 A, and cavity base vacuum degree 2×10⁻⁶. -5 ~5×10 -5 Torr, etching time 5~60 min.
[0017] By forming a microstructure and interface hybrid layer on the surface through ion beam etching, the influence of interface mismatch between the substrate and diamond-like carbon coating can be reduced, thereby improving the film-substrate adhesion and enhancing the support capacity for the surface diamond-like carbon coating.
[0018] Preferably, in step (1), the substrate is pretreated before depositing the diamond-like carbon substrate. The pretreatment process is as follows: the substrate is ultrasonically cleaned for 5 to 30 minutes using anhydrous ethanol and acetone respectively to remove surface contaminants and improve the performance of the composite coating.
[0019] Preferably, in step (1), the deposition process parameters are: acetylene flow rate 30~40 sccm, a bias voltage of -50~-350 V applied to the substrate surface, ion source current 0.1-0.8 A, and cavity base vacuum degree 2×10 -5 ~5×10 -5 Torr, deposition time 15-750 min.
[0020] Preferably, in step (2), the deposition process parameters are: methane flow rate 30~40 sccm, a bias voltage of -50~-350 V applied to the substrate surface, ion source current 0.1-0.8 A, and cavity base vacuum degree 2×10 -5 ~5×10 -5 Torr, deposition time 15-750 min.
[0021] Preferably, a ball-disc friction and wear tester was used to test the tribological properties of the prepared composite coating under the condition of SiC ball pairing in a mixed solution of 3.5 wt% NaCl and 4 wt% SiO2. The test results were: friction coefficient 0.05~0.12, wear rate 5×10⁻⁶. -8 ~2×10 -7 mm 3 / N -1 m -1 .
[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: (1) In this invention, the diamond-like carbon substrate with acetylene as the carbon source has strong bonding with the matrix and has little difference in physical properties from the diamond-like carbon substrate with methane as the carbon source. Using it as an intermediate transition layer can improve the bonding strength between the film and the substrate while reducing the internal stress of the composite coating. In addition, the diamond-like carbon substrate with methane as the carbon source is located on the surface of the composite coating, which can make the coating more resistant to the impact of hard particles.
[0023] (2) By using a diamond-like carbon layer deposited with acetylene as the carbon source as the bottom layer and a diamond-like carbon layer deposited with methane as the top layer, the present invention can improve the toughness of the composite coating while having both high hardness and strong film-substrate bonding force, and solve the problems of easy brittle peeling and easy wear of existing coatings when subjected to erosion. Compared with diamond-like carbon coatings deposited with acetylene or methane as the carbon source, it has better friction and wear resistance.
[0024] (3) The composite coating preparation method of the present invention is simple and stable. By controlling the hydrogen content of the coating, a composite structure with chemical composition gradient and mechanical property gradient is formed, thereby optimizing the hardness and toughness of the composite coating. This avoids the problem of unstable coating performance caused by complex control of multiple parameters such as bias voltage, power supply and gas flow rate in traditional processes, and breaks through the limitations of existing preparation technologies on the range of coating performance control. In addition, during the preparation process, the etching and deposition steps are both carried out using linear ion beam physical vapor deposition, which can be continuously processed in the same chamber, making it easy to realize the industrial-scale preparation of coatings.

[0031] The present invention will be further illustrated below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0037] The deposition thickness is calculated as follows: a three-step method of "pre-experiment-calibration-calculation" is adopted. First, under specific process parameters, a short-term pre-deposition is performed on a substrate of the same material to ensure environmental stability. Then, a step meter is used to measure the film thickness at five points from the center to the edge of the sample. After removing outliers, the average value is taken to reduce the error caused by substrate tilt and edge effect. Finally, the deposition rate is obtained by dividing the average thickness by the deposition time. During the subsequent formal coating, the deposition time is calculated according to the target thickness and deposition rate.

Figure 2 As shown, the composite coating prepared in this embodiment exhibits narrow wear marks and no significant peeling after 1 hour of friction. The stable coefficient of friction of the composite coating was tested to be 0.07, as shown in the results.
