Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of composite metal plate technology, specifically to a multi-toughness layer metal wear-resistant liner. Background Technology

[0002] Port ore terminals are specialized terminals used for loading, unloading, storing, and transshipping bulk dry cargo such as iron ore, coal, non-ferrous metal ores, and non-metallic ores. They are key logistics nodes connecting mining resources and industrial production. Port ore terminals handle cargo with large particle sizes, high single-load volumes, generally high hardness, and many particles with sharp edges. When grabbing, conveying, and unloading materials using equipment such as grabs, belt conveyors, hoppers, and discharge ports, friction and impact occur at the points of direct contact between the cargo and the equipment, leading to abrasive wear and severely impacting the equipment's lifespan.

[0003] Existing technologies typically extend equipment lifespan by installing wear-resistant liners at points of direct contact between equipment and goods. One type of wear-resistant liner includes a base material and a wear-resistant layer, with a transition layer between them. The base material is made of carbon steel, low-alloy steel, or stainless steel, and serves to absorb impact energy. The wear-resistant layer is a plasma-sprayed coating composed of a mixture of barium titanate, manganese powder, tin dioxide, zinc powder, nickel powder, and iron powder, used to improve the impact resistance and strength of the metal liner. The transition layer is formed by co-diffusion with a co-diffusion agent, acting as a bond between the base material and the wear-resistant layer. Although this type of wear-resistant liner includes a wear-resistant layer, the transition layer formed by co-diffusion with the co-diffusion agent has low bonding strength. Under high-impact conditions, if cracks appear on the surface of the wear-resistant layer due to external impact, these cracks often propagate from the wear-resistant layer surface to the base material layer, potentially leading to the wear-resistant layer detaching. This, in turn, affects the liner's wear resistance, overall durability, and service life. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the technical problem of poor wear resistance and impact resistance of existing wear-resistant liners under high-impact conditions, this utility model provides a multi-toughness layer metal wear-resistant liner. The wear-resistant layer is designed as an alternating structure of a high-hardness layer and a toughness buffer layer. The toughness buffer layer absorbs impact energy, reducing crack formation and effectively inhibiting crack propagation under high-impact conditions, thus significantly improving the wear resistance of the multi-toughness layer metal wear-resistant liner.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A multi-toughness layer metal wear-resistant liner includes a base layer, a transition layer and a wear-resistant layer are provided on the outer side of the base layer in order from the inside to the outside, and the wear-resistant layer is composed of a high-hardness layer and a toughness buffer layer alternately stacked, with the outermost layer of the wear-resistant layer being a high-hardness layer.

[0007] The high-hardness layer is made of high-chromium alloy or tungsten-based cemented carbide. By mass percentage, the high-chromium alloy contains 24%-26% chromium, while the tungsten-based cemented carbide contains 75%-90% tungsten carbide. High-chromium alloys possess high wear resistance, good impact resistance, and corrosion resistance, effectively resisting wear from ore and extending equipment lifespan. Tungsten-based cemented carbide not only has extremely high hardness and wear resistance but also good thermal stability and high compressive strength, maintaining stable performance under high temperature and high pressure conditions.

[0008] The toughness buffer layer is made of low-alloy steel, which contains chromium, manganese, silicon and molybdenum. By mass percentage, the low-alloy steel contains 0.28%-0.33% carbon, 0.7%-1.2% chromium, 1.0%-1.5% manganese, 0.5%-1.0% silicon and 0.3%-0.6% molybdenum.

[0009] Furthermore, the base layer is made of low-carbon steel, which, by mass percentage, contains 0.14%-0.22% carbon, 0.30%-0.65% manganese, ≤0.045% sulfur, and ≤0.045% phosphorus.

[0010] Furthermore, the transition layer is made of 42CrMo series steel, which, by mass percentage, contains 0.35%-0.40% carbon, 0.80%-1.10% chromium, and 0.15%-0.25% molybdenum.

[0011] Furthermore, the thickness of the high-hardness layer is greater than the thickness of the toughness buffer layer. The thickness of the substrate layer is 5-30 mm, preferably 15 mm; the thickness of the transition layer is 0.5-3 mm, preferably 1.5 mm; the single-layer thickness of the high-hardness layer is 2-5 mm, preferably 4 mm; and the single-layer thickness of the toughness buffer layer is 0.5-1.5 mm, preferably 1 mm.

[0012] Furthermore, the thickness ratio of the high-hardness layer to the toughness buffer layer is 3:1-5:1, preferably 4:1. Controlling this ratio within 3:1-5:1 helps balance the wear resistance of the high-hardness layer with the impact energy absorption characteristics of the toughness buffer layer, ensuring the long-term stable use of the multi-toughness layer metal wear-resistant liner in high-wear environments. Under normal operating conditions with moderate impact, a ratio of 3:1-4:1 is suitable for applications such as hoppers for port ship unloaders and conveyor belt chutes. Under high-impact conditions, a ratio of 4:1-5:1 is suitable for ore crushers, prioritizing wear resistance in high-impact environments.

[0013] Furthermore, the high-hardness layer and the toughness buffer layer are alternately stacked at least three times. When the high-hardness layer is located as the innermost layer of the wear-resistant layer, the number of toughness buffer layers equals the number of alternating stacking times, and the number of high-hardness layers equals the number of alternating stacking times plus one. When the toughness buffer layer is located as the innermost layer of the wear-resistant layer, the number of toughness buffer layers equals the number of alternating stacking times, and the number of high-hardness layers equals the number of alternating stacking times. When the high-hardness layer and the toughness buffer layer are alternately stacked five to seven times, stress concentration can be effectively dispersed and crack propagation paths can be extended, meeting the usage requirements of high-demand scenarios such as mining equipment. When the high-hardness layer and the toughness buffer layer are alternately stacked four to six times, a balance between process cost and performance can be achieved. By alternately stacking the high-hardness layer and the toughness buffer layer, effective mechanical load transfer and impact energy buffering are achieved through the synergistic effect between different layers. The alternating layers of high-hardness and toughness buffer layers not only significantly improve the overall durability of the multi-toughness layer metal wear-resistant liner, but also enable it to maintain excellent wear resistance and impact resistance when facing strong impacts and abrasions, thus avoiding brittle fracture.

[0014] Furthermore, adjacent substrate layers and transition layers, adjacent transition layers and high-hardness layers or toughness buffer layers, and adjacent high-hardness layers and toughness buffer layers are all connected by metallurgical bonding. On the one hand, metallurgical bonding ensures that there are no interface defects between the layers, guaranteeing sufficient integrity and stability of the wear-resistant layer. On the other hand, metallurgical bonding allows for a strong bond between the high-hardness layer and the toughness buffer layer, avoiding the seam problems that may arise from traditional mechanical bonding methods.

[0015] Furthermore, metallurgical bonding is achieved through laser melting deposition, vapor deposition, or welding. Laser melting deposition utilizes a high-energy laser beam to melt metal powder or wire, allowing it to achieve high-precision interlayer bonding by depositing it layer by layer on adjacent inner surface. Automated welding is preferred for welding.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] This invention provides a multi-layer toughness metal wear-resistant liner. A transition layer and a wear-resistant layer are sequentially arranged from the inside out on the outer side of the substrate layer. The transition layer mitigates the difference in thermal expansion coefficients between the substrate and wear-resistant layers, enhances the interlayer bonding strength, alleviates interfacial stress, and inhibits crack initiation and propagation. The outermost high-hardness layer of the wear-resistant layer withstands external wear, reducing the wear rate. Alternating toughness buffer layers within the wear-resistant layer absorb impact energy and inhibit crack propagation. Stress is dispersed through plastic deformation, preventing brittle fracture failure of a single high-hardness layer. The alternating structure of high-hardness and toughness buffer layers also facilitates the uniform transfer of concentrated stress towards the substrate layer, reducing peak interfacial stress and extending the overall structural lifespan. Because the toughness buffer layer dissipates crack propagation energy during plastic deformation, when cracks appear in the high-hardness layer under wear or impact, the cracks deflect, branch, or terminate in the toughness buffer layer, thus extending the crack propagation path and significantly improving the wear resistance of the multi-layer toughness metal wear-resistant liner.
