[0002] Large diesel engines are widely used in the fields of nuclear power emergency, ship propulsion and power generation. Centrifugal pumps are indispensable components of large diesel engines, and their main function is to absorb and remove a large amount of heat generated in the combustion chamber through circulating cooling medium (such as water or coolant), thereby maintaining the engine components within the appropriate operating temperature range. The impeller, as a key component of the cooling system, is responsible for pumping cooling medium from the radiator or water tank and pressurizing it for delivery to the cooling water channel of the diesel engine.

Since the cooling medium may contain corrosive substances or impurities, the material and sealing elements of the centrifugal pump need to have good corrosion resistance and wear resistance. Traditional impellers require nitriding treatment of the entire impeller during manufacturing to maintain material stiffness and toughness, which can cause high-temperature effects and unpredictable deformation during the nitriding process.

[0025] Referring to Figure 1The utility model discloses a large -scale diesel engine centrifugal pump water pump impeller, including impeller body 10 and wear -resisting and anticorrosive composite layer 20, composite layer 20 at least covers the surface of the shaft sleeve 30 of impeller body 10. For example composite layer 20 covers the outer surface of the shaft sleeve 30, composite layer 20 covers the inner surface of the shaft sleeve 30 or composite layer 20 covers the outer surface of the shaft sleeve 30 and the inner surface of the shaft sleeve 30. Wherein, composite layer 20 is used to improve the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the shaft sleeve 30, and the composite layer is formed by arc ion plating and plasma chemical vapor deposition technology, coated on the shaft sleeve 30, and closely attached to the inner surface and the outer surface of the shaft sleeve 30. The purpose of the surface of the composite layer 20 and the shaft sleeve 30 is to prevent the composite layer 20 from falling off the shaft sleeve 30, thereby improving the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the shaft sleeve 30. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the surface of the impeller body 10 can be provided with a composite layer 20, which is not limited here, and is determined according to the actual situation.

[0026] The impeller body 10 can be spheroidal cast iron, vermicular cast iron, 40Cr, 45Cr, 42CrMo or stainless steel material. For example, in the embodiment, the impeller body 10 can be spheroidal cast iron, which has a higher degree of adhesion with the composite layer 20. In other embodiments, the material of the impeller body 10 can also be other, vermicular cast iron, 40Cr, 45Cr, 42CrMo or stainless steel material, etc., which is not limited here, and is determined according to the actual situation.

[0027] The utility model discloses a composite layer 20, thereby need not to carry out nitriding treatment to whole impeller body 10, can avoid the influence that high temperature brings to impeller body 10 in nitriding treatment process, thereby keeps the original rigidity and tenacity of the material of impeller body 10, also can avoid the influence that unpredictable deformation in nitriding treatment process brings to the form of impeller body 10.

[0028] See Figure 2 The composite layer 20 includes a wear-resistant layer 2 and a corrosion-resistant sealing layer 1. The wear-resistant layer 2 is closely attached to the surface of the shaft sleeve 30, and the corrosion-resistant sealing layer 1 is closely attached to the outer surface of the wear-resistant layer 2 away from the impeller body 10. The wear-resistant layer 2 can significantly improve the bonding force between the composite layer 20 and the shaft sleeve 30, and can be deposited on the surface of the shaft sleeve 30 by arc ion plating technology. The corrosion-resistant sealing layer 1 can prevent corrosion solution from directly contacting the base through the tiny pores in the wear-resistant layer 2 during the deposition process, thereby preventing corrosion and further improving the corrosion resistance of the composite layer 20. The corrosion-resistant sealing layer 1 can be formed on the outer surface of the wear-resistant layer 2 away from the impeller body 10 by plasma chemical vapor deposition technology. The close adhesion of the wear-resistant layer 2 and the corrosion-resistant sealing layer 1 can prevent the corrosion-resistant sealing layer 1 from falling off the wear-resistant layer 2, thereby improving the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the shaft sleeve 30.

[0029] In some embodiments, the wear-resistant layer 2 comprises a plurality of Cr layers 21 and a plurality of CrN layers 22 stacked alternately. The Cr layer 21 refers to a coating layer composed of chromium (element symbol Cr), and the CrN layer 22 refers to a coating layer with chromium nitride (CrN for short) as the main component. The plurality of Cr layers 21 and the plurality of CrN layers 22 are arranged from the bushing 30 to the sealing layer 1, which can be in the structure of bushing 30-Cr layer 21-CrN layer 22-Cr layer 21-CrN layer 22-sealing layer 1, bushing 30-CrN layer 22-Cr layer 21-CrN layer 22-Cr layer 21-CrN layer 22-sealing layer 1, or bushing 30-Cr layer 21-CrN layer 22-Cr layer 21-CrN layer 22-Cr layer 21-sealing layer 1, etc. The Cr layer 21 and the CrN layer 22 themselves have good hardness and can also play a role in changing the composite hardness gradient from the substrate, providing the bonding force between the composite layer 20 and the bushing 30.

[0030] In some embodiments, the total number of Cr layers 21 and CrN layers 22 is 4 to 10 layers. For example, 4 layers, 5 layers, 6 layers, 7 layers, 8 layers, 9 layers, or 10 layers. When the total number is an even number, the number of Cr layers 21 is equal to the number of CrN layers 22. Preferably, when the total number is an odd number, the number of Cr layers 21 is greater than the number of CrN layers 22, that is, the CrN layer 22 is closely attached to the bushing 30.

[0031] In some embodiments, the thickness of the Cr layer 21 is 1 μm to 4 μm. For example, 1 μm, 2 μm, 2.5 μm, 3.5 μm, or 4 μm, etc. The thickness of different Cr layers 21 in the same wear-resistant layer 2 can be partially the same, all the same, or all different.

[0032] In some embodiments, the thickness of the CrN layer 22 is 1 μm to 4 μm. For example, 1 μm, 2 μm, 2.5 μm, 3.5 μm, or 4 μm, etc. The thickness of different CrN layers 22 in the same wear-resistant layer 2 can be partially the same, all the same, or all different.

[0033] In some embodiments, the overall thickness of the wear-resistant layer 2 is 8-35 μm. For example, 8 μm, 12 μm, 25 μm, 30 μm, 35 μm, etc. The overall thickness of the wear-resistant layer 2 is the sum of the overall thickness of the Cr layer 21 and the overall thickness of the CrN layer 22, and the overall thickness of the Cr layer 21 and the overall thickness of the CrN layer 22 can be the same or different, and the thickness of a single Cr layer 21 and the thickness of a single CrN layer 22 can also be the same or different. For example, the total number of Cr layers 21 is 3, the thickness of a single Cr layer 21 is 2 μm, and the overall thickness of the Cr layer 21 is 6 μm; the total number of CrN layers 22 is 4, the thickness of a single CrN layer 22 is 3 μm, and the overall thickness of the CrN layer 22 is 12 μm; then the overall thickness of the wear-resistant layer 2 is 18 μm.

[0034] In some embodiments, the sealing layer 1 is an amorphous silicon-oxygen layer. The amorphous silicon-oxygen layer has good chemical resistance and can resist the corrosion of various chemicals. The sealing layer 1 blocks the fine pore structure in the middle of the wear-resistant layer 2, prevents the corrosion solution from directly contacting the substrate through the tiny pores during the deposition process, and forms corrosion, thereby further improving the corrosion resistance of the composite layer 20.

[0035] In some embodiments, the thickness of the sealing layer 1 is 1-3 μm. For example, 1 μm, 2 μm, 2.5 μm, 3 μm, etc. The thickness of the sealing layer 1 and the thickness of the wear-resistant layer 2 are added to the total thickness of the composite layer 20, and the total thickness of the composite layer 20 is 9-38 μm, for example, 9 μm, 12 μm, 25 μm, 30 μm, 35 μm, 38 μm, etc. When the total thickness of the composite layer 20 is 15 μm, the thickness of the sealing layer 1 can be 1 μm, the thickness of the wear-resistant layer 2 is 14 μm, or the thickness of the sealing layer 1 can be 2 μm, the thickness of the wear-resistant layer 2 is 13 μm, etc. There are many setting modes, which are set according to actual needs.
