Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of film-forming material preparation technology, and in particular to a self-healing hard film anti-corrosion film-forming material for non-rotating parts and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] In fields such as power equipment, marine engineering, and chemical equipment, non-rotating metal components are exposed to corrosive environments such as humidity, salt spray, and chemical media for extended periods, facing severe corrosion problems. Traditional anti-corrosion coatings, such as epoxy resins and polyurethane coatings, suffer from low hardness, insufficient corrosion resistance, and short service life. Especially when the coating suffers mechanical damage, corrosive media can rapidly penetrate the base metal, leading to corrosion propagation beneath the coating and significantly shortening the protective lifespan.

[0003] While some self-healing coatings have emerged in existing technologies, most suffer from low repair efficiency, limited repair cycles, and difficulty in balancing mechanical and corrosion-resistant properties. For example, some microcapsule-based self-healing systems often sacrifice the coating's mechanical strength; while some inorganic zinc-rich coatings, although possessing high hardness, lack self-healing capabilities and exhibit poor flexibility. Furthermore, existing hard anti-corrosion coatings are prone to brittle cracking and decreased adhesion during long-term use, making it difficult to meet the long-term protection requirements of harsh industrial environments. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an oil-soluble corrosion inhibitor and its corrosion inhibition evaluation method, which aims to solve the problems of brittle cracking and decreased adhesion that traditional hard anti-corrosion coatings are prone to during long-term use.

[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a self-healing hard film anti-corrosion film-forming material for non-rotating parts, comprising the following raw materials in parts by weight: 25-40 parts of modified nano-silica, 30-50 parts of fluorinated polyurethane prepolymer, 5-10 parts of microencapsulated corrosion inhibitor, 0.5-3 parts of graphene nanosheets, and 25-35 parts of a mixed solvent of propylene glycol methyl ether acetate and isophorone.

[0007] In some embodiments, the modified nano-silica has a particle size of 50-80 nm, the fluorine content of the fluorinated polyurethane prepolymer is ≥18%, and the mass ratio of propylene glycol methyl ether acetate to isophorone is 2.5-3.5:1.

[0008] Secondly, the present invention provides a method for preparing a self-healing hard film anti-corrosion film-forming material for non-rotating parts, the preparation method comprising: Step S01: Add 25-40 parts of nano-silica with a particle size of 50-80nm to a 5% ethanol solution, disperse by ultrasonication, add 3% silane coupling agent KH-550 (by mass of silica) dropwise, stir at 80℃ for 4h, filter, dry at 120℃ for 2h to obtain modified nano-silica with surface grafted organic groups. Step S02: Under nitrogen protection, 15-20 parts of hexafluoropropylene dimer and 25-30 parts of toluene diisocyanate are reacted at 80°C for 3 hours to generate fluorinated isocyanate intermediate. Step S03: Add 30-35 parts of polytetrahydrofuran ether diol with a molecular weight of 2000 and 5-8 parts of 1,4-butanediol. After chain extension at 75°C for 2 hours, end-cap with 3-5 parts of diethanolamine to obtain a fluorinated polyurethane prepolymer with a fluorine content ≥18%. Step S04: Dissolve 10 parts of 8-hydroxyquinoline in 30 parts of methyl methacrylate, add 0.5 parts of sodium dodecyl sulfate as an emulsifier to form a core solution, prepolymerize 15 parts of urea and 20 parts of formaldehyde at pH=4.5, and polymerize them with the core solution at 50℃ for 4 hours. After centrifugation and washing with ethanol, microcapsules with a particle size of 2-5 μm and a corrosion inhibitor loading of 72% are obtained. Step S05: Add 0.5-3 parts of graphene nanosheets with ≤3 layers to 15-20 parts of propylene glycol methyl ether acetate, shear at 10000 rpm for 15 min, and then sonicate to obtain a graphene dispersion. Step S06: Mix modified nano-silica, fluorinated polyurethane prepolymer, microencapsulated corrosion inhibitor, and graphene dispersion, add 10-15 parts of isophorone, adjust the mass ratio of propylene glycol methyl ether acetate to isophorone to 2.5-3.5:1, control the viscosity to 800-1200 mPa·s, and form a 20-50 μm coating on the surface of non-rotating parts by electrostatic spraying (voltage 60kV, distance 15cm). After curing at 80℃ for 1h, cool at room temperature to obtain a self-healing hard film anti-corrosion film-forming material.

[0009] In some embodiments, the ultrasonic dispersion frequency in step S01 is 40 kHz and the dispersion time is 30 min.

[0010] In some embodiments, the flow rate of nitrogen protection in step S02 is 0.5-1 L / min.

[0011] In some embodiments, the stirring speed for interfacial polymerization in step S04 is 300-500 rpm.

[0012] In some embodiments, the ultrasonic treatment power in step S05 is 800W and the treatment time is 60min.

[0013] In some embodiments, the stirring speed in step S06 is 800-1000 rpm, and the stirring time is 2 hours.

[0014] In some embodiments, the coating has a pencil hardness ≥2H, an adhesion grade of 0, and a neutral salt spray resistance ≥2000h.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: 1. Through the synergistic effect of modified nano-silica and fluorinated polyurethane, the coating achieves both high hardness (≥2H) and good adhesion (Grade 0). Nano-silica provides a rigid framework, while fluorinated polyurethane imparts flexibility and density to the coating. The combination of the two enables the coating to maintain hardness while exhibiting good stress dispersion capabilities, achieving a neutral salt spray resistance of over 2000 hours.

[0016] 2. The self-healing hard-film anti-corrosion film-forming material prepared by this invention contains microencapsulated corrosion inhibitors that automatically release 8-hydroxyquinoline corrosion inhibitors when the coating is damaged, forming a protective film at the damaged site and effectively inhibiting corrosion propagation. The microcapsule particle size is 2-5 μm, and the corrosion inhibitor loading reaches 72%, ensuring repair efficiency and capacity. Synergistically acting with graphene nanosheets, it forms a multi-dimensional protective network, enhancing the repair effect.

[0017] 3. The self-healing hard-film anti-corrosion film-forming material prepared by this invention, a fluorinated polyurethane prepolymer (fluorine content ≥18%), provides excellent weather resistance, chemical resistance, and anti-aging properties. The addition of graphene nanosheets enhances the barrier properties and mechanical strength of the coating, while also improving its thermal and electrical conductivity, which helps prevent electrochemical corrosion.

[0018] 4. By using a specific solvent ratio (propylene glycol methyl ether acetate to isophorone mass ratio 2.5-3.5:1) and viscosity control (800-1200 mPa·s), the material has good leveling and atomization properties, making it suitable for electrostatic spraying and capable of forming a uniform and dense 20-50 μm coating.
