Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of wear-resistant coating materials and preparation processes, and in particular relates to a method for preparing a high wear-resistant diamond coating on the surface of aluminum alloy. Background Technology

[0002] In high-end manufacturing fields such as aerospace, automotive manufacturing, electronic equipment, and precision instruments, aluminum alloys have become the preferred material for key structural components due to their lightweight, high specific strength, good thermal conductivity, and machinability. In aerospace, aluminum alloys are widely used in components such as fuselage frames and wing structures to achieve lightweight aircraft design. In automotive manufacturing, aluminum alloys are used in components such as engine blocks, pistons, and wheel hubs, not only reducing overall vehicle weight but also improving fuel efficiency. In electronic equipment, aluminum alloys are used in components such as radiators and housings to meet high heat dissipation requirements and structural strength requirements.

[0003] However, the inherent properties of aluminum alloys result in poor surface wear resistance, making them highly susceptible to surface damage under friction and wear conditions. This severely impacts the service life of components and the operational reliability of equipment. Specifically, in aerospace engine components, friction and wear between aluminum alloy piston rings and cylinder liners lead to decreased engine efficiency and increased failure risk; in automotive engines, wear between aluminum alloy pistons and cylinder blocks results in increased oil consumption and reduced power; and in electronic equipment, wear on precision aluminum alloy components leads to decreased accuracy and equipment malfunction. Industry statistics indicate that component failures due to aluminum alloy surface wear account for over 30% of mechanical component failures, causing billions of dollars in economic losses annually.

[0004] To address the insufficient wear resistance of aluminum alloys, researchers have explored various surface modification techniques, primarily including traditional hard coatings (such as TiN and TiC) and diamond coatings. While traditional hard coatings can improve surface hardness, their upper limit (typically <3000 HV) is orders of magnitude lower than that of diamond (approximately 10000 HV), resulting in significantly insufficient resistance to abrasive wear under extreme conditions. More importantly, there is a significant mismatch in the coefficients of thermal expansion between traditional hard coatings and the aluminum alloy substrate (TiN: 5.4 × 10⁻⁶ / ℃, aluminum alloy: 23 × 10⁻⁶ / ℃), generating high residual stress (up to 300 MPa or more) at the interface. This leads to low coating bonding strength, making the coating highly susceptible to peeling and severely limiting its service life.

[0005] Diamond, as the hardest known material, possesses extremely high hardness (10000 HV), an ultra-low coefficient of friction (0.05-0.1), excellent wear resistance, and outstanding chemical stability. Applying diamond as a coating to aluminum alloy surfaces can significantly enhance the wear resistance of the surface while retaining the inherent advantages of aluminum alloys, such as their lightweight and thermal conductivity. However, bonding diamond to aluminum alloys has always been a technical challenge. Anodizing enhances bonding by forming an alumina transition layer, but the alumina layer is inherently brittle and prone to micro-cracking and peeling under impact or localized high stress. Furthermore, the process is complex, making it difficult to control the coating thickness and uniformity. Electroplating / chemical plating utilizes the co-deposition of the coating with diamond particles, but the dense oxide film on the aluminum substrate surface hinders the formation of a strong bond between the coating and the substrate, resulting in a bonding strength generally below 50 MPa. Moreover, electroplating processes pose serious environmental pollution problems. Thermal spraying uses a high-temperature flame to spray diamond particles onto the substrate surface. However, during thermal spraying, diamond is prone to graphitization (>1000℃), which leads to a decrease in coating hardness. Furthermore, the coating and the substrate are mainly mechanically bonded, resulting in low bonding strength (<100MPa) and insufficient reliability under long-term alternating load conditions.

[0006] T6 heat treatment is a typical heat treatment process for aluminum alloys, which can significantly improve the hardness and strength of aluminum alloys (hardness can reach 150-200HB), but it is mainly used for matrix strengthening rather than coating preparation.

[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a coating preparation method that can effectively solve the problem of bonding diamond to aluminum alloy while maintaining the high hardness and wear resistance of diamond. Summary of the Invention

[0008] To address the aforementioned technical problems and overcome the shortcomings of traditional deposition processes and the inherent weaknesses of coating materials under different working conditions, such as insufficient adhesion, brittleness, and poor high-temperature stability, this invention provides a method for preparing a high-wear-resistant diamond coating on aluminum alloy surfaces based on heat treatment. By combining pretreatment of diamond particles, brush deposition, and heat treatment, a chemical bond between diamond and the aluminum alloy substrate is achieved, significantly improving the coating's bonding strength and wear resistance while substantially reducing preparation costs. This provides technical support for the application of aluminum alloys under high-wear conditions. This technology not only solves the key problem of insufficient wear resistance on aluminum alloy surfaces but also overcomes the limitations of traditional coating preparation processes, demonstrating significant technological advancement and economic value.

[0009] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0010] This invention discloses a method for preparing a high-wear-resistant diamond coating, comprising the following steps:

[0011] (1) Place diamond particles in a solvent and prepare a high-concentration diamond suspension by ultrasound;

[0012] (2) Physical deposition is achieved by brushing a suspension containing high concentrations of diamond onto the surface of an aluminum alloy;

[0013] (3) The aluminum alloy with diamond particles deposited on its surface is subjected to heat treatment to achieve chemical deposition;

[0014] (4) Remove excess diamond particles from the surface of the aluminum alloy to achieve the preparation of diamond coating.

[0015] Furthermore, the diamond particles in step (1) are micro-nano-scale artificial diamond particles with a size of 10um-0.05um and are irregularly shaped particles.

[0016] Furthermore, in step (1), before placing the diamond particles in the solvent, the diamond particles are first ultrasonically cleaned. The cleaning solution is acetone solution to remove stains on the diamond surface. The ultrasonic frequency is 20–40 kHz, and the cleaning time is 1 min–15 min.

[0017] Further, in step (1), the diamond particles are placed in a solvent and subjected to ultrasonic cleaning. The solvent used is anhydrous ethanol solution. Anhydrous ethanol is used to ultrasonically clean the acetone residue on the diamond surface. The ultrasonic frequency is 20–40 kHz and the cleaning time is 30s–180s.

[0018] Furthermore, in step (1), a high-concentration diamond suspension is prepared by ultrasonication. The mass ratio of diamond particles to solvent in the suspension is 1:1-30:1, the ultrasonic frequency is 30-60 kHz, and the ultrasonic time is 3 min-50 min.

[0019] Furthermore, in step (2), the aluminum alloy surface is pretreated before brushing. The pretreatment is divided into two steps: grinding and cleaning. The grinding step is to use 100#-2000# sandpaper to grind from coarse to fine. The cleaning step is to use ultrasound to clean the surface. The cleaning solution is anhydrous ethanol, the ultrasonic frequency is 20-40 kHz, and the cleaning time is 3min-30min.

[0020] Furthermore, in step (2), the brushing method is physical brushing, the coating thickness of the diamond suspension is 1um-20um, and after brushing, it is placed in a drying oven to remove anhydrous ethanol. The removal temperature is 60℃-120℃ and the time is 30min-150min.

[0021] Furthermore, in step (3), the heat treatment temperature is 450℃-570℃, the heat treatment time is 0.5h-10h, the heating rate is 2℃ / min-10℃ / min, the cooling method after heat treatment is furnace cooling, and the cooling rate is 0.5℃ / min-5℃ / min.

[0022] Furthermore, in step (3), the atmosphere of the entire heat treatment process is an argon atmosphere, and the gas flow rate is 3ml / min-15mL / min.

[0023] Furthermore, in step (4), excess diamond particles on the surface of the aluminum alloy are removed by two steps: oscillation and blowing. The oscillation is mechanical oscillation, and the blowing gas is compressed air with a wind speed of 10m / s-35m / s.

[0024] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0025] 1. This invention first involves ultrasonically mixing diamond particles with alcohol to ensure good distribution of the diamond particles. The dispersed diamond-containing suspension is then brushed onto a polished aluminum substrate surface. A heat treatment process is then used to chemically react the diamond particles with the aluminum alloy surface, resulting in a well-bonded, highly wear-resistant diamond coating. The diamond coating obtained using this invention exhibits extreme hardness (up to 60 GPa) and an ultra-low coefficient of friction, giving the aluminum alloy surface exceptional wear resistance. It also possesses excellent chemical stability and high thermal conductivity, significantly improving component performance and lifespan under harsh conditions such as strong corrosion and high heat dissipation.

[0026] 2. The present invention employs a pretreatment method, which first pretreats the diamond micro powder. The diamond micro powder that has undergone ultrasonic treatment has a significantly improved uniform distribution, prevents agglomeration, reduces defects, and improves the mechanical properties of the diamond coating.

[0027] 3. This invention employs a brush coating combined with heat treatment method. First, pre-treated diamond micro powder is brushed onto the surface of the aluminum alloy, and then heat treatment is used to strengthen the bond between the diamond and the aluminum alloy. Compared with traditional coating deposition processes, this method is simple, low-cost, easy to operate, suitable for workpieces with complex shapes, can achieve local deposition, and is flexible in process, making it easy to adjust the coating composition and thickness.

[0028] 4. The preparation method of the present invention is also applicable to the preparation of wear-resistant coatings for diamond-reinforced alloys such as magnesium and magnesium alloys. Attached Figure Description
