Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to an Al-based composite coating with wear resistance, shock resistance, ablation resistance and controllability and a cold spraying preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the continuous updating of shipboard aircraft models and the continuous improvement of performance, more stringent requirements are put forward for the performance of the ship flight deck. Due to the particularity and complexity of the marine environment, the deck surface is subjected to salt spray, wave scouring, dry-wet cycling and the like. In addition, the shipboard aircraft take-off and landing area also needs to withstand high-temperature flame ablation and scouring and the like extreme working conditions. Therefore, the deck surface needs to have good wear resistance and anti-skid performance, and the deck surface needs to be corrosion-resistant, and the heavy equipment placed on the deck surface needs to be prevented from sliding even in harsh sea conditions. Even if it is severely worn, it still needs to have high friction resistance and shock resistance. In addition, the shipboard aircraft take-off and landing area also needs to withstand high-temperature flame ablation and scouring and the like extreme working conditions. With the development of shipboard aircraft, higher performance requirements are put forward for the take-off and landing area deck. Therefore, the deck surface needs to have excellent comprehensive performance, including anti-skid, wear resistance, ablation resistance and the like.

[0003] It is a feasible method to use a coating to improve the friction, shock resistance and ablation resistance, and relevant research has been highly concerned by the state. At present, surface manufacturing technologies such as roll coating and thermal spraying are mainly used to strengthen and protect the deck surface to improve its anti-skid, corrosion resistance, wear resistance and ablation resistance and the like. At present, the deck surface mainly uses a polymer-based anti-skid coating, which has good adhesion, good wear resistance and corrosion resistance. Therefore, the ship deck surface must have a longer service life and higher reliability.

[0004] At present, the polymer-based coating still has the shortcomings of short service life, poor adhesion, poor corrosion resistance and poor high and low temperature resistance during service, and harmful gases are generated after aging and decomposition. Especially in the special areas such as the take-off area, the landing area, the deflector and the vertical take-off and landing area of the ship deck, the polymer-based coating is prone to have a sharp decrease in the friction coefficient, surface ablation damage and large-area peeling and the like. Al is a material with low density, high electrical conductivity and high thermal conductivity, and is widely used in coatings. However, pure Al is soft, and it is difficult to improve the wear resistance of the deck, the friction coefficient is difficult to meet the requirements, and the adhesion strength is low. Therefore, ceramic is added to form a composite material to improve its performance. Al2O3 ceramic has high hardness and high melting point, and can significantly improve the hardness of the coating, improve the friction resistance of the coating and reduce the wear rate of the coating. The density of Al2O3 is 3.92-3.98 g / cm 3 , the Young's modulus is 300-380 GPa, and the room temperature fracture toughness is 3-4 MPa·m 1 / 2The new ternary layered MAX phase ceramic is a good damage tolerance ceramic material with high strength and high toughness and excellent conductive performance of metal-like, high heat resistance, excellent wear resistance, self-lubricating performance, and good combination with a metal matrix. Typical materials are Ti2AlC, Ti3AlC2 and Ti3SiC2, with a density of 4-5 g / cm 3 , a Young's modulus of 280-340 GPa, and a room temperature fracture toughness of 6.0-7.88 MPa·m 1 / 2 . The focus of the patent is to regulate the content of Al2O3 and Cr2AlC in the Al-based coating and the cold spraying process parameters.
