Abstract
Description
A ceramic composite process applied to metal substrates Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of metal material surface treatment technology, specifically a ceramic composite process applied to metal substrates. Background Technology
[0002] Micro-arc oxidation (MAO), also known as plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO), is an evolution of anodic oxidation technology, producing films with superior performance compared to anodic oxidation. The MAO process relies on the precise matching and adjustment of the electrolyte and electrical parameters. Under the instantaneous high temperature and pressure generated by arc discharge, an oxide film is grown in situ on the surface of valve metals such as aluminum, magnesium, and titanium, as well as their alloys. Its corrosion resistance and wear resistance are significantly superior to traditional anodic oxidation films, thus attracting widespread attention.
[0003] Current technologies using micro-arc oxidation processes to treat metal substrates have the following drawbacks:
[0004] First, the micro-arc oxidation film layer on the surface of the metal substrate has micropores, and the specific defects are: 1) liquid is easy to remain after flowing over the surface of the metal substrate; 2) dirt and foreign matter cannot be thoroughly cleaned or removed after entering the micropores.
[0005] Second, the pores of the micro-arc oxidation film on the surface of the metal substrate are open and not closed. The specific defects are: 1) the weather resistance, including salt spray test, cannot meet specific requirements; 2) the micro-undulations on the film surface lead to insufficient surface hardness, which means that the surface's abrasion resistance and other properties need to be further improved.
[0006] Third, while the micro-arc oxide film formed on the surface of the metal substrate is hard, it is also brittle. Specifically, the micro-arc oxide film is easily pulverized after being impacted and cracked after the product is deformed.
[0007] Based on this, the present invention discloses a ceramic composite process applied to metal substrates. Summary of the Invention
[0008] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this invention is to provide a ceramic composite process for metal substrates.
[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:
[0010] A ceramicization composite process applied to a metal substrate includes the following steps:
[0011] 1) Perform micro-arc oxidation treatment on the metal substrate;
[0012] 2) Perform post-processing on the metal substrate obtained in step 1).
[0013] Furthermore, in step 1), the metal substrate is pretreated before undergoing micro-arc oxidation.
[0014] Further, the pretreatment steps for the metal substrate include:
[0015] s1. Grind and polish the metal substrate to improve the surface smoothness of the metal substrate;
[0016] s2. Clean the metal substrate obtained in step s1.
[0017] Furthermore, in step 1), the process conditions for micro-arc oxidation are as follows:
[0018] A pulse power supply is used, with a frequency of 50-1250Hz, a voltage of 300-750V, an electrolyte temperature of 10-55℃, and a time of 5-50min.
[0019] Furthermore, the pulse power supply is a positive and negative dual-pulse power supply, with a positive pulse voltage of 0-750V, a negative pulse voltage of 0-450V, a duty cycle of 5%-50%, and a frequency of 50-1250Hz.
[0020] Furthermore, in step 2), the post-processing steps for the metal substrate obtained in step 1) include:
[0021] S21. Perform plasma cleaning on the metal substrate obtained in step 1) to remove dirt and foreign matter that may exist in the micro-membrane pores after micro-arc oxidation treatment.
[0022] S22. Spray coating, electrophoresis and / or ion implantation are performed on the metal substrate obtained in step s21.
[0023] Furthermore, the spraying includes nano-spraying.
[0024] Furthermore, the process conditions for the nano-spraying are as follows:
[0025] The spray gun shaft speed is 300-1500mm / s, the conveyor belt speed is 1-50mm / s, and the paint flow rate is 0.1-10g / 30s.
[0026] Furthermore, the process conditions for the ion implantation are as follows:
[0027] Metal ion implantation was performed using a metal plasma implantation device with an accelerating voltage of 25-60 kV, an implantation energy of 40-70 keV, and a vacuum degree of 1×10⁻⁶ kV. -2 Pa-3×10-2 Pa, the implantation time is 20-70 min. After the metal ion implantation is completed, the metal substrate is placed in an oven and kept at 200-220℃ for 25-60 min.
[0028] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0029] This invention discloses a ceramic composite process applied to metal substrates. By performing micro-arc oxidation on the metal substrate, micro-arc oxidation ceramic films of different colors can be obtained on the surface of the metal substrate. The colors are uniform and the appearance is beautiful. After post-processing the metal substrate, the micro-arc oxidation ceramic films can be protected and the micropores of the micro-arc oxidation ceramic films can be filled. This seals the micropores on the surface of the metal substrate after micro-arc oxidation, which greatly improves the dirt resistance, weather resistance and surface hardness of the metal substrate. It also prevents the film layer from powdering or cracking after the metal substrate is subjected to impact. This solves the problems of poor dirt resistance, poor weather resistance and insufficient surface hardness caused by the presence of micropores on the surface of existing micro-arc oxidation processes, as well as the high hardness and brittleness of micro-arc oxidation films.
