Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of materials science and laser additive manufacturing technology, specifically relating to a stepped wear-resistant coating for steel piston ring grooves based on laser additive manufacturing and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Marine internal combustion engine steel piston ring grooves are prone to wear and surface failure under high temperature, high pressure, reciprocating friction, and cyclic impact loads, leading to decreased sealing performance, increased lubricant consumption, and reduced engine power and reliability. 38MnVS6 steel, due to its good machinability and medium-to-high strength, is widely used in key components such as pistons and connecting rods in marine power systems. Especially in the piston ring groove area, due to long-term exposure to high temperature, high pressure, and frequent alternating loads, wear, plastic deformation, and even fatigue fracture are highly likely, becoming typical failure sources. Currently, a commonly used method is laser cladding of a metallic coating onto the piston ring groove surface to further improve its strength. Traditional laser cladding strengthening methods often use Fe-based or Ni-based self-fluxing alloy powders, adding hard phases such as WC, etc. These coatings aim to improve hardness and wear resistance. However, while achieving high hardness, they often increase the tendency to crack, especially in thin-walled structures under complex stress conditions such as piston ring grooves, where interfacial spalling or microcrack propagation is more likely. Furthermore, some reinforcing particles have poor thermal conductivity, leading to heat accumulation and further promoting thermal cracking in the coating. Therefore, there is an urgent need to explore a laser cladding coating material and its preparation process that can significantly improve the surface hardness and wear resistance of 38MnVS6 piston ring grooves, maintain good toughness and avoid brittle fracture, and balance thermal conductivity and process economy.

[0003] Currently, there are many methods used in existing technologies to simultaneously improve the wear resistance and toughness of coatings, such as: (1) preparing Fe-Cr-C-Si series and Fe-Cr-C-Si-B series gradient coatings on 65Mn steel substrates by laser cladding technology, which significantly improves the wear resistance and toughness of the coatings; (2) adding WC to the coating, High-hardness phases improve the wear resistance of the coating, while multi-step heat treatment releases stress and reduces the generation of coating cracks. The above preparation method takes into account both the high wear resistance and toughness of the coating, but there are still many problems: (1) Insufficient thermal conductivity: Although the coating is composed of a hard working layer and a relatively soft transition layer, which significantly improves the wear resistance and toughness of the coating, the influence of high temperature environment on the wear resistance of the coating is not considered, and no high thermal conductivity phase is added, which has limitations when facing the requirements of high temperature friction conditions; (2) The contradiction between hardness and crack suppression is obvious: simply increasing WC, Although the high hardness phase can significantly improve wear resistance, it greatly increases residual tensile stress, leading to the generation of microcracks or macrocracks; although traditional multi-step heat treatment can partially release stress, it increases process complexity and cost; (3) Cost and environmental adaptability limitations: Co-based and Ni-based powders are priced high and contain high chromium and high nickel elements, resulting in high post-processing and recycling costs and significant environmental pressure. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Based on the above-mentioned technical problems, this invention proposes a stepped wear-resistant coating for steel piston ring grooves based on laser additive manufacturing and its preparation method.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in this invention is: First, this invention provides a stepped wear-resistant coating for steel piston ring grooves based on laser additive manufacturing, comprising an Fe-based transition coating and an Fe-based composite wear-resistant coating sequentially coated on the surface of the steel piston ring groove; the Fe-based transition coating is obtained by coating with Fe-based soft transition powder, the composition of which is as follows: Cr 21-23wt%, Si 4-5wt%, Mo 1.5-2.5wt%, Ni 12-14wt%, C 0.1-0.2wt%, B 1.4-1.8wt%, with the balance being Fe; the Fe-based composite wear-resistant coating is obtained by coating with Fe-based hard wear-resistant powder, the composition of which is as follows: Cr 31-33wt%, Si 3.6-4wt%, Ni 1.8-2.1wt%, C 3.8-4wt%, Cu 1.8-2wt%, CNT 0.3-0.5wt%, BNNT 0.3-0.5wt%, with the balance being Fe. In the above components, CNT stands for carbon nanotubes and BNNT stands for boron nitride nanotubes.

[0008] Secondly, this invention provides a method for preparing a stepped wear-resistant coating for steel piston ring grooves based on laser additive manufacturing, comprising the following steps: (1) Polish the surface of the substrate and then use anhydrous ethanol for ultrasonic cleaning to remove oil and other impurities. (2) Fe-based hard wear-resistant powder was ball-milled and mixed under an Ar atmosphere to obtain Fe-based hard wear-resistant ultrafine powder; (3) Dry the Fe-based hard wear-resistant ultrafine powder and the Fe-based soft transition powder obtained in step (2) respectively; (4) Using the dried Fe-based hard wear-resistant ultrafine powder and Fe-based soft transition powder obtained in step (3) as raw materials, Fe-based soft transition powder and Fe-based hard wear-resistant ultrafine powder are coated sequentially on the substrate treated in step (1) under Ar atmosphere to form a stepped wear-resistant coating including Fe-based transition coating and Fe-based composite wear-resistant coating sequentially coated on the substrate surface.

[0011] Preferably, in step (3), the drying temperature is 70-90℃ and the time is 50-70min.

[0012] Preferably, in step (4), the coating method is laser cladding.

[0013] Preferred process parameters for laser cladding of Fe-based soft transition powder are as follows: laser power of 0.7-0.9kW, scanning speed of 5-8mm / s, overlap rate of 50%, argon flow rate of powder carrier gas of 14-16L / min, powder feeding speed of 1.5-2g / min, and spot diameter of 3mm.

[0015] The beneficial technical effects of the present invention are as follows: The wear-resistant coating provided by this invention has a stepped structure of "soft transition layer + hard working layer", which reduces the internal stress of the coating and improves the bonding strength of the coating. At the same time, by adding a specific amount of high thermal conductivity metal phase Cu and trace amounts of nano toughening phases CNT and BNNT, combined with SiC hard particles, the high fatigue zone performance of the steel piston ring groove can be significantly improved under the reciprocating friction condition of inner boundary lubrication at 300°C, thus extending the service life of the steel piston.

[0016] Specifically: (1) Significantly improves hardness and wear resistance: The hardness distributions of the hard working layer, soft transition layer and substrate are 690-760HV, 560-630HV and 240-260HV, respectively; The prepared stepped wear-resistant coating showed no cracks after being subjected to friction tests at 230℃ with a load of 20N, a frequency of 2Hz, a stroke of 10mm, a test duration of 30min, and a load of 230℃, demonstrating good high-temperature wear resistance.
