Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The embodiment of the present application relates to the technical field of anti-corrosion and wear-resistant coating, in particular to an anti-corrosion and wear-resistant coating for a boiler heating surface and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] The boiler is a key component of the core equipment in the flue gas desulfurization system of the power plant, and its main function is to efficiently transfer heat and ensure the full contact of the flue gas and the limestone slurry under the complex working conditions of high temperature, strong corrosion and high wear, so as to promote the smooth completion of the sulfur dioxide absorption reaction. Since the boiler heating surface is exposed to a strong acidic environment with a pH value of 2-5 for a long time, and at the same time, it is subjected to the scouring of high-temperature flue gas (300-400℃) and slurry containing 15%-20% of gypsum particles and chlorine ions, its surface is subjected to the triple damage of chemical corrosion, high-temperature oxidation and mechanical wear. If there is no effective protection, the heating surface will quickly cause pitting corrosion perforation, scaling blockage or thermal fatigue cracking, resulting in a sharp decrease in heat transfer efficiency, an increase in system energy consumption, and even causing unplanned shutdown, which directly affects the stability of the desulfurization system and the compliance of the power plant environmental emission indicators.
[0003] The traditional boiler protection technology for the heating surface mainly adopts high-temperature alloy base material matched with thermal spraying ceramic coating or aluminizing / chromizing process. Among them, the ceramic coating has good high-temperature resistance and wear resistance, but the thermal expansion coefficient is greatly different from the metal matrix material, which is easy to crack and peel off in the cold and hot cycle; the corrosion resistance of the infiltration layer process is limited, and it cannot repair local damage. In addition, the existing technologies cannot simultaneously consider high-temperature oxidation resistance, slurry corrosion resistance and particle scouring resistance, resulting in an average service life of the heating surface of less than 2 years and high maintenance costs.

[0067] III. Performance Testing: The coatings were prepared according to the process parameters in the examples and comparative examples, and the following performance tests were performed on the completed coatings: a. Abrasion resistance: ASTM G65 method, load 10N, revolutions 1000 rpm; b. Bond strength: ASTM D4541 hydraulic pull-out method; c. Salt spray test: ISO9227 neutral salt spray, 3000h; d. Cavitation test: ASTM G32 vibration cavitation test, amplitude 50μm × 4h; Record the performance test data and analyze the performance data due to differences in material composition in the examples, as shown in Table 3: Table 3: Material Composition and Sample Performance Data of Examples 1-6
[0068] The performance data due to differences in process parameters in the examples are shown in Table 4: Table 4: Process Parameters and Sample Performance Data of Examples 7-10
[0069] Comparative performance data are shown in Table 5: Table 5: Comparative Performance Data Table
[0070] IV. Data Analysis: The wear resistance weight loss of Examples 1-6 (12.8-16.3 mg) was significantly lower than that of the comparative examples (19.8-38.5 mg), mainly because the tungsten carbide micro powder (WC) formed a continuous rigid skeleton (non-silicon carbide) in the range of 30-40 parts, and its high hardness (Hv≥2200) resisted particle erosion. Zirconia-toughened ceramic spheres (10-15 parts) absorb impact energy and inhibit crack propagation through a phase transformation toughening mechanism (t→m phase transformation). (Comparative Example 2: Excess WC causes embrittlement, increasing the cavitation rate to 2.87 mm). 3 / h).
[0071] The bonding strength of the examples is all >22MPa (maximum 28.7MPa), which is higher than that of comparative examples 1 and 5 (only 14.7-16.2MPa). This may be due to the synergistic effect of potassium silicate binder (80-100 parts) and zirconate coupling agent (0.8-1.5 parts) to form -Si-O-Zr- covalent bonds at the metal-ceramic interface (non-polyurethane system). In contrast, Comparative Example 1 may have insufficient yttrium-stabilized zirconium oxide, resulting in insufficient ceramicization of the matrix and a sharp drop in bonding strength.
[0072] The example showed no failure after 3000 hours of salt spray, while Comparative Examples 1 / 2 / 5 showed rust / peeling. This may be due to the formation of a Cr2O3 / Fe2O3 composite passivation film by chromium(III) oxide nanopowder (8-12 parts) in an acidic environment. Borosilicate glass flakes (12-18 parts) are layered and stacked (aspect ratio ≥15), forming a labyrinthine barrier structure with Cr2O3, Cl - Permeability ≤ 1.2 × 10 -11 g / (m 2 ·s); Comparative Example 2 may have been caused by excessive glass flakes (22 parts), leading to interlayer stress concentration and subsequent peeling after salt spraying.
[0073] Example 7 (low speed) abrasion weight loss 14.5mg > Example 8 (13.2mg), possibly because high shear dispersion at 1200rpm (stage two) is key to eliminating WC agglomeration; Example 9 (thin coating 300 μm) edge corrosion may be due to weakened edge protection (reduced borosilicate flake coverage) because the coating thickness <350 μm. The optimized process in Example 1 (static magnetic field orientation + step-by-step curing) resulted in oriented whisker alignment (deviation angle ≤ 8°) and a low cavitation rate of 0.82 mm. 3 / h.
[0074] Comparative Example 3 (1.0 part of silane coupling agent) had a bonding strength of 27.1 MPa, which was close to that of the Example, but its wear resistance weight loss of 25.7 mg was significantly deteriorated, proving that the silane / zirconate mass ratio (1.6-2.0):1 is the critical point for interface optimization.
