Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of bearing wear-resistant coating technology, specifically a bearing wear-resistant coating and a TC bearing. Background Technology

[0002] As a core component of mechanical equipment, bearings directly affect the service life, reliability, and operating efficiency of the equipment. Under extreme working conditions such as oil drilling, mining machinery, and metallurgical rolling, bearings are subjected to the combined effects of high loads, strong impacts, severe wear, and corrosive media, which places extremely stringent requirements on surface wear resistance.

[0003] Currently, to directly form a high-wear-resistant coating in the gaps between cemented carbide blocks, existing technology CN118932330A uses composite tungsten carbide and nickel-iron alloy powders with specific compositions, achieving metallurgical bonding through laser cladding. However, this existing technology has a relatively singular wear-resistant phase, mainly relying on tungsten carbide. Although Ni and Co binders are added, it still falls short in terms of high-temperature red hardness and toughness. The mechanical mixing characteristics of the powder are prone to component segregation or dissolution of the hard phase during rapid melting and solidification, affecting the uniformity of the microstructure. At the same time, due to the lack of effective microstructure modification, the grains are coarse and have defects such as micropores, which limit the load-bearing capacity and fatigue life of the coating. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To overcome the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a bearing wear-resistant coating and a TC bearing. The ternary wear-resistant system of this invention is combined with a nickel-based alloy binder phase and modified with rare earth oxides and grain growth inhibitors. It is prepared using a process combining pre-sintering powder preparation and laser cladding. The pre-sintering process achieves pre-alloying and composition homogenization of the raw materials, while the laser cladding precisely controls the heat input, forming a dense and uniform coating structure. Simultaneously, it significantly improves the bonding stability between the coating and the bearing substrate and cemented carbide block, reduces damage to the heat-affected zone of the substrate, and the prepared TC bearing possesses long-term service capability.

[0031] Based on common knowledge in the field, the above-mentioned preferred conditions can be combined arbitrarily to obtain various preferred embodiments of the present invention.

[0032] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. This invention employs a ternary wear-resistant phase. WC provides basic hardness, TiC enhances the red hardness of the coating, and Cr3C2 optimizes the wettability with the nickel-based binder phase, while simultaneously improving the coating's oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance, preventing oxidation failure at high temperatures. This triple wear-resistant structure can resist abrasive wear of different scales. The metallic binder phase is a key factor in the interface strengthening mechanism. Cr in the nickel-based alloy powder enhances the coating's oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance, preventing binder phase failure under harsh working conditions. B and Si lower the alloy's melting point, improve cladding fluidity, and ensure coating density. Fe optimizes compatibility with the bearing steel substrate, improving the metallurgical bonding effect. Laser cladding causes elemental interdiffusion between the binder phase and the matrix, forming a metallurgical bond.

[0033] 2. This invention, through mixing, pressing, and pre-sintering the raw materials, allows elements such as Ni and Co to penetrate into the WC grain boundaries in advance, solving the compositional segregation problem caused by traditional direct powder mixing. The pre-alloyed powder melts rapidly under laser irradiation, forming a uniform molten pool. The ternary wear-resistant phase is uniformly dispersed in the binder phase, preventing the hard phase from agglomerating or dissolving, thus ensuring microstructure uniformity. Compared to direct powder mixing and laser cladding, this method ensures both compositional uniformity and controls the heat-affected zone, achieving advantages in uniformity and low damage.

[0034] 3. A wear-resistant transition layer with excellent toughness and compatibility with the bearing substrate is first formed through low-heat-input laser cladding. A high-hardness wear-resistant coating is then clad onto this transition layer, achieving thermal input stress gradient buffering. The transition layer composition matches the thermal expansion coefficient of the bearing substrate, significantly mitigating the thermal shock and internal stress concentration caused by directly cladding the high-hardness wear-resistant coating. This avoids problems such as localized overheating, grain coarsening, and substrate softening caused by direct contact between the wear-resistant coating and the steel substrate. Without reducing the interfacial bonding strength, the depth of the heat-affected zone of the substrate is significantly reduced, protecting the original strength and toughness of the bearing substrate. This makes the bearing less prone to substrate fatigue deformation and coating cracking under heavy load, high speed, and impact conditions, significantly improving its overall service life.

[0035] 4. Rare earth oxides can alleviate the thermal stress generated by laser cladding and reduce the risk of cracking through the lattice distortion effect of rare earth atoms. Grain inhibitors further suppress WC grain ripening, ensuring the stability of the fine-grained structure. In addition to the addition of rare earth oxides to avoid stress concentration, this invention also reduces the risk of cracking by releasing internal stress through a stress-relief annealing process.

[0040] To facilitate understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described more fully and in detail below with reference to preferred embodiments, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the following specific embodiments.

[0041] Unless otherwise defined, all technical terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art. The technical terms used herein are for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0042] Example 1 The bearing wear-resistant coating in this embodiment consists of a wear-resistant coating and a wear-resistant transition layer; The raw materials for preparing the wear-resistant coating consist of 25% metallic binder phase (nickel-based alloy powder, average particle size 80 μm), 0.5% rare earth oxide (Y2O3 powder, average particle size 0.6 μm) and the balance wear-resistant hard phase (average particle size 50 μm). The wear-resistant hard phase is composed of the following raw materials in mass percentage: 16.3% TiC powder, 9.8% Cr3C2 powder, 1.0% grain growth inhibitors (0.5% TaC and 0.5% NbC) and balance WC; The raw material for preparing the wear-resistant transition layer is nickel-based alloy powder; The nickel-based alloy powder is composed of the following chemical composition: 16wt%Cr, 2.5wt%B, 3.2wt%Si, 3wt%Fe and balance Ni.

[0043] The method for preparing the bearing wear-resistant coating in this embodiment is as follows: S0. Preprocessing The surface of 42CrMo steel (outer diameter Φ100mm, inner diameter Φ70mm, length 125mm) is cleaned and finely ground; YG8 tungsten cobalt cemented carbide is fitted and assembled with the bearing base friction surface, and the surface roughness Ra of the cladding surface is 0.05μm. S1. Laser-clad wear-resistant transition layer The aforementioned nickel-based alloy powder was used to clad the bearing substrate surface. A protective gas was used throughout the cladding process. Specific process parameters were as follows: argon flow rate for protective gas 13 L / min, argon flow rate for powder feeding gas 7 L / min; laser cladding power 1.1 kW, spot diameter 3.2 mm, scanning speed 15 mm / s, overlap rate 42%, powder feeding rate 13 g / min; maximum cladding layer thickness 1.35 ± 0.01 mm. S2. Preparation of coating powder The raw materials for the above-mentioned wear-resistant coating were put into a planetary ball mill with a ball-to-material ratio of 9:1 and a rotation speed of 230 rpm. The mixture was ground for 3 hours and passed through a 150-mesh sieve. Then, a hydraulic press was used to cold press the material under a pressure of 200 MPa to obtain a blank with a diameter of 50 mm and a thickness of 20 mm. The billet is placed in a vacuum sintering furnace, and argon (an inert gas) is introduced as a protective gas. The temperature is raised to 1150°C at a rate of 6.5°C / min and held for 2.5 hours. After sintering, the billet is cooled to room temperature with the furnace to obtain a pre-sintered billet. The pre-sintered billet is crushed to a particle size of ≤5mm by a jaw crusher, and then fed into a planetary ball mill with a ball-to-material ratio of 9:1 and a rotation speed of 230rpm for 3 hours. After ball milling, it is passed through a 120-mesh sieve to obtain the coating powder. S3. Laser-clad wear-resistant coating The coating powder obtained in step S2 is transported to the cladding area via a powder feeder using a laser cladding machine. A protective gas is used throughout the cladding process. Specific process parameters are as follows: argon flow rate for protective gas 17 L / min, argon flow rate for powder feeding gas 9 L / min; laser cladding power 1.5 kW, spot diameter 4.2 mm, scanning speed 11 mm / s, overlap rate 52%, powder feeding rate 28 g / min; maximum cladding layer thickness 1.5 ± 0.1 mm. The laser-clad bearing substrate and cemented carbide block were placed in a vacuum annealing furnace, protected by argon gas, and heated to 300°C at a rate of 5°C / min. The temperature was held for 2 hours and then allowed to cool naturally to room temperature.

[0044] Figure 1 The cross-sectional view of the bearing wear-resistant coating shows that the coating is highly dense, without cladding or bonding defects, and has fine and uniform grains.

[0045] Example 2 The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is as follows: The wear-resistant hard phase is composed of the following raw materials by mass percentage: 5.7% TiC powder, 16.4% Cr3C2 powder, 1.0% grain growth inhibitor and balance WC; The other raw materials, steps and parameters are the same as in Example 1.

[0046] Example 3 The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is as follows: The wear-resistant hard phase is composed of the following raw materials in mass percentage: 17.9% TiC powder, 6.8% Cr3C2 powder, 1.0% grain growth inhibitor and balance WC; The other raw materials, steps and parameters are the same as in Example 1.

[0047] Example 4 The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is as follows: The nickel-based alloy powder is composed of the following chemical composition by weight percentage: 18wt% Cr, 3wt% B, 4.5wt% Si, 5wt% Fe and balance Ni; The other raw materials, steps and parameters are the same as in Example 1.

[0048] Example 5 The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is as follows: The nickel-based alloy powder is composed of the following chemical composition by weight percentage: 10 wt% Cr, 1.5 wt% B, 2.0 wt% Si and balance Ni; The other raw materials, steps and parameters are the same as in Example 1.

[0049] Example 6 The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is as follows: The S1 laser cladding power was adjusted to 0.9kW and the scanning speed to 18mm / s; The other raw materials, steps and parameters are the same as in Example 1.

[0050] Example 7 The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is as follows: The S3 laser cladding power was adjusted to 2.0kW and the scanning speed to 15mm / s; The other raw materials, steps and parameters are the same as in Example 1.

[0051] Figure 2 In the cross-sectional view of the bearing wear-resistant coating, the high temperature during the cladding of the wear-resistant layer is transmitted downwards, causing a secondary thermal shock to the already formed transition layer, resulting in fine stress textures at the interface between the transition layer and the substrate.

[0052] Comparative Example 1 The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is as follows: In S2, the raw materials for preparing the wear-resistant coating are ground and then directly subjected to the S2 process without pressing or pre-sintering. The other raw materials, steps and parameters are the same as in Example 1.

[0053] Figure 3 In the cross-sectional view of the bearing wear-resistant coating, the wear-resistant coating has local hard aggregates and uneven dispersion, and there are many cracks and pores in both the wear-resistant coating and the wear-resistant transition layer. This is because the melting and spreading behavior is out of control during laser cladding, and the stability of the molten pool decreases significantly. At the same time, the heat input is disordered, local overheating is severe, and high temperature fluctuations are transmitted downwards, damaging the already formed wear-resistant transition layer.

[0054] Comparative Example 2 The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is as follows: The bearing wear-resistant coating consists of 30% metallic binder phase (nickel-based alloy powder) and the balance wear-resistant hard phase; The other raw materials, steps and parameters are the same as in Example 1.

[0055] The bearing wear-resistant coatings of the TC bearings prepared in the above embodiments and comparative examples were subjected to the following tests: Test Example 1—Coating Hardness and Coating-Substrate Shear Bond Strength Test Hardness was tested using a Vickers hardness tester (HV0.5, 4.903N); shear bond strength was determined by the annular indentation shear method using an electronic universal testing machine and a polycrystalline diamond annular indenter (outer diameter 5mm, inner diameter 3mm). During the test, the indenter applied pressure to the coating surface at a rate of 0.5mm / min until shear peeling occurred, and the maximum load F was recorded. The shear bond strength was calculated using the formula τ=F / A, where A is the cross-sectional area of ​​the annular indenter; the test results are shown in Table 1.

[0056]

[0057] Referring to Table 1, it is important to note that: Comparative Example 1 directly used the raw materials for preparing the wear-resistant coating for laser cladding, resulting in component segregation, a large number of unmelted particles, and high internal stress, ultimately leading to a decrease in hardness and bonding strength. Comparative Example 2 lacked rare earth oxides, making the grains more prone to coarsening, especially with the addition of multiple wear-resistant phases, ultimately resulting in a significant decrease in both hardness and bonding strength.

[0058] Test Example 2—Depth and Hardness of Heat-Affected Zone Heat-affected zone depth: Metallographic corrosion test (4% nitric acid alcohol). Using the metallographically corroded sample, observe the area where the coating-substrate interface to the interior of the substrate shows a significant change in microstructure under a metallographic microscope. Measure the vertical distance of this area, which is the depth of the heat-affected zone. Randomly select three fields of view and take the average value. Heat-affected zone hardness: Select five test points evenly within the heat-affected zone (areas of different depths) and use a Vickers hardness tester (HV). 0.5 The hardness was tested at 4.903 N, and the range of hardness variation was recorded to determine whether the matrix had overheated and softened. The test results are shown in Table 2.

[0059]

[0060] Referring to Table 2, it should be noted that: Example 6, due to its low cladding power, fastest speed, and smallest heat input, has the narrowest heat-affected zone and the highest hardness. Example 7 has a slightly higher heat input, a slightly wider heat-affected zone, and slightly lower hardness. Comparative Example 1, lacking the pressing and pre-sintering process of the raw materials, suffers from uneven melting of the coating powder and disordered heat conduction, leading to a significantly wider heat-affected zone and softening of the substrate during laser cladding. Comparative Example 2, lacking rare earth oxides, experiences stress concentration in the wear-resistant coating, increased interfacial thermal resistance, and ultimately a wider heat-affected zone and decreased hardness.

[0061] Test Example 3—Bearing Rotational Fatigue Life Test The test was conducted in accordance with GB / T 307.3, and the bearings prepared in Example 1 were selected as the test group. A bearing rotational fatigue life tester was used, and the test conditions were: radial load 40kN (heavy load), speed 3000r / min (high speed), room temperature 25℃, and grease lubrication. The time when the vibration value suddenly increased, the temperature suddenly increased (>80℃), or the bearing jammed was recorded continuously. This time was the bearing fatigue life. The rated fatigue life (L10, reliability 90%) was calculated according to GB / T 307.3. A 42CrMo bearing of the same model without a wear-resistant transition layer but only containing a wear-resistant coating was used as the control group (the preparation process was the same as in Example 1 except for the lack of step S1). The life was tested simultaneously for comparison. The test results are shown in Table 3.

The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of this invention. It should be understood that the above descriptions are merely specific embodiments of this invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
