Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of nuts and their manufacturing methods, and more specifically, to a coated nut and its manufacturing method. Background Technology

[0002] Nuts, as core basic fasteners, are widely used in the fastening connections of various industrial equipment, and their service performance directly determines the operational safety and service life of the equipment. In the harsh service conditions of high-end equipment such as wind turbine towers, offshore platforms, high-speed rail bogies, and chemical reactors, nuts are subjected to multiple effects such as alternating loads, salt spray corrosion, acid and alkali media erosion, and repeated disassembly and assembly friction and wear. They are prone to problems such as coating failure, substrate corrosion, and thread wear and slippage, which ultimately lead to preload reduction, connection failure, and even major safety accidents.

[0003] Existing surface protection technologies for nuts mainly include electro-galvanizing, hot-dip galvanizing, Dacromet coating, and ordinary phosphating. These processes are difficult to meet the dual requirements of wear resistance and corrosion resistance. Electro-galvanizing and hot-dip galvanizing coatings have limited corrosion resistance and low coating hardness, making them prone to wear and peeling after repeated disassembly and assembly. Although Dacromet coating has improved corrosion resistance, its wear resistance is extremely poor and it cannot withstand the high-frequency friction conditions of threaded pairs.

[0004] Therefore, a solution is needed to address the problem that the existing nuts cannot meet the required wear and corrosion resistance. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this invention is to provide a coated nut and its preparation method. Through the gradient coating structure design, the difference in thermal expansion coefficient between the layers is effectively alleviated, which is much higher than the bonding strength level of existing fastener coatings, and the problem of easy cracking and peeling of the coating is solved.

[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution: a coated nut, comprising a nut substrate, wherein the surface of the nut substrate is sequentially coated from the inside to the outside with a metal bonding underlayer, a metal-ceramic wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant intermediate layer, and an organic-inorganic hybrid self-lubricating sealing surface layer; the metal bonding underlayer is a NiCrAlY alloy layer with a thickness of 50-100μm; the metal-ceramic wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant intermediate layer is a WC-Co-Cr composite layer with a thickness of 150-300μm; and the organic-inorganic hybrid self-lubricating sealing surface layer is a modified polyimide-nano silica-polytetrafluoroethylene composite layer with a thickness of 20-50μm.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that the mass percentage of each element in the metal bonding underlayer is: Ni 60%-70%, Cr 20%-25%, Al 5%-8%, Y 0.5%-2%.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that: in the metal-ceramic wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant intermediate layer, the mass percentage of each component is: WC 80%-88%, Co 8%-12%, Cr 4%-8%; the particle size of WC is 15-45μm, and the particle size of Co and Cr is 5-15μm.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that the raw materials of the organic-inorganic hybrid self-lubricating sealing surface layer, by mass parts, include: 30-50 parts of amino-terminated modified polyimide resin, 10-20 parts of nano-silica sol, 5-15 parts of polytetrafluoroethylene micro powder, 1-3 parts of coupling agent, 2-5 parts of curing agent, and 20-40 parts of organic solvent.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that: the particle size of the nano-silica sol is 10-30 nm and the solid content is 30%; the particle size of the polytetrafluoroethylene micro powder is 1-5 μm; the coupling agent is silane coupling agent KH550; the curing agent is aromatic diamine curing agent; and the organic solvent is a mixed solvent of N,N-dimethylacetamide and anhydrous ethanol at a volume ratio of 2:1.

[0011] The above-mentioned technical objective of the present invention is also achieved through the following technical solution: a method for preparing a coated nut, comprising the following steps: S1 Substrate Pretreatment: The nut substrate is subjected to degreasing, derusting, and sandblasting roughening treatment in sequence to obtain the pretreated nut substrate; S2 Metal Bonding Underlayer Preparation: NiCrAlY alloy powder was sprayed onto the pretreated nut substrate surface using a supersonic flame spraying process to form a metal bonding underlayer. Preparation of S3 metal-ceramic wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant intermediate layer: WC-Co-Cr composite powder is sprayed onto the surface of the metal bonding substrate using a supersonic flame spraying process to form a metal-ceramic wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant intermediate layer; Preparation of S4 surface layer precursor: Weigh the raw materials of organic-inorganic hybrid self-lubricating sealing surface layer according to the formula, mix and stir evenly to obtain surface layer precursor coating. S5 surface layer preparation and curing: The surface layer precursor coating is uniformly sprayed onto the surface of the metal-ceramic wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant intermediate layer using a high-pressure air spraying process. After leveling at room temperature, it is cured by gradient temperature increase to obtain an organic-inorganic hybrid self-lubricating sealing surface layer, and finally a nut with coating is obtained.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that: in step S1, the sandblasting roughening treatment uses white corundum sand with a mesh size of 46-60, the sandblasting pressure is 0.5-0.7MPa, the sandblasting distance is 100-150mm, the surface roughness of the substrate after sandblasting is Ra≥6.3μm, and the spraying operation is completed within 4 hours after sandblasting.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that: in step S2, the process parameters for supersonic flame spraying are: oxygen flow rate 1800-2200 L / h, kerosene flow rate 18-22 L / h, powder feed rate 30-40 g / min, spraying distance 300-350 mm, spray gun moving speed 200-300 mm / s, and substrate temperature ≤150℃; in step S3, the process parameters for supersonic flame spraying are: oxygen flow rate 2000-2400 L / h, kerosene flow rate 20-24 L / h, powder feed rate 35-45 g / min, spraying distance 350-400 mm, spray gun moving speed 150-250 mm / s, and substrate temperature ≤120℃.

[0014] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. Gradient coating structure design achieves synergistic optimization of multiple performance aspects, solving the core pain points of existing technologies. This invention adopts a three-layer gradient structure of "metal bonding base layer - metal-ceramic wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant intermediate layer - organic-inorganic hybrid self-lubricating sealing surface layer", achieving functional gradient matching of "high bonding strength - high wear resistance and strong corrosion resistance - self-lubricating sealing" from the inside out. This effectively alleviates the difference in thermal expansion coefficients between layers, and the bonding strength between the coating and the substrate is ≥60MPa, which is far higher than the bonding strength level of existing fastener coatings, completely solving the problems of easy cracking and peeling of the coating.

[0015] 2. Core performance achieves a leap forward, meeting the long-term service requirements of high-end equipment under harsh operating conditions. The metal-ceramic intermediate layer of this invention has a hardness ≥1200HV, and its wear resistance is more than 10 times that of traditional galvanized layers. After repeated disassembly and assembly of the threaded pair 500 times, the coating shows no significant wear; it shows no red rust after ≥3000 hours of neutral salt spray testing, and its corrosion resistance is more than 3 times that of Dacromet coating; the surface friction coefficient is ≤0.15, possessing excellent self-lubricating properties, significantly reducing the risk of threaded pair seizing. Under highly corrosive and high-wear conditions such as marine, chemical, and wind power environments, its service life can reach more than 10 years, significantly reducing equipment maintenance costs and resource consumption, and meeting the requirements of energy-saving and environmentally friendly industrial development.

[0016] 3. The preparation process is green and environmentally friendly, with no heavy metal pollution, and is suitable for industrial mass production. The supersonic flame spraying and high-pressure air spraying processes used in this invention produce no toxic or harmful substances such as cyanide and hexavalent chromium throughout the entire process, and generate very little wastewater and exhaust gas, which meets the national requirements for green manufacturing. The process parameters are stable and controllable, the spraying process can be automated, the coating thickness is uniform, and the pass rate is high, making it suitable for the large-scale industrial production of fasteners.
