Technical field
The invention belongs to field of material engineering technology, be specifically related to a kind of preparation method of the high-compactness cold spraying metal lithosomic body based on mixed powder.
Background technology
Cold spraying (ColdSpraying, CS) is a kind of based on gas dynamical material technology.By being sent into by the particle of micro-meter scale in the high velocity air in spray gun, through accelerating, make it complete solid-state lower high-speed impact matrix (300-1200m/s), the viscous deformation violent by particle/basal body interface and realize deposition of material.Lower depositing temperature makes when oxysensible materials such as depositing metal particles, farthest can avoid the oxidation of particle in accelerator, make the metal of the pure non-oxidation of preparation, alloy coat becomes possibility, especially be suitable for temperature sensitive, oxidizable, the material of easy phase transformation.Under Optimizing Process Parameters condition, high fine and close lithosomic body (porosity <1%) can be obtained by cold spraying.This feature make cold spraying metallic coating heat conduction, conduction, anticorrosion etc. in be with a wide range of applications.In addition, different from the residual tension formed in conventional thermal spraying material, the stress that in cold spraying particle high velocity impact process, shot-peening effect produces makes in coating preparation process unrestricted on thickness direction.Therefore, cold spraying is also one of effective ways increasing material manufacture (3D printing).
For specific spray material, cold spraying deposition existence critical velocity, only has when the speed of particle is higher than critical velocity, and particle could produce effectively deposition, otherwise produces erosion effect to base material.For certain material, critical velocity depends primarily on the mechanical attribute of powder, and powder softer (yield strength is lower), critical velocity is lower, and powder more easily deposits.Sedimentation effect refers to that the powder of deposition accounts for the ratio striking substrate surface powder.The higher powder using efficiency of sedimentation effect is higher.Therefore, improve sedimentation effect to realize mainly through two kinds of modes: improve the speed of powder and/or reduce critical velocity.The speed improving powder needs raising accelerate the pressure and temperature of gas or substitute conventional nitrogen, pressurized air as acceleration gas using helium.By pre-heating powder, the temperature improving powder can make metal-powder that significant softening effect occurs, and therefore significantly can reduce critical velocity.These two kinds of approach are also the methods generally adopted at present for improving sedimentation effect.But significantly improve and accelerate the pressure and temperature of gas and improve the consumption of gas, accelerate the cost intensive (being about nitrogen 40 times) of aging, the helium of equipment; Powder preheating easily makes powder in spray gun inwall deposition, blocking spray gun.Completely above-mentioned requirements is not reached for some portable low pressure cold spraying equipments.Therefore, how the raising realizing metal-powder sedimentation effect of low cost is the key factor promoting cold spray technique industrialization further.
Electrolysis or hydroxy metal powder have the feature of irregular profile and internal porous, and irregular profile makes it obtain the towing force larger than conventional ball powder in air-flow accelerator, thus obtains higher speed; The feature of internal porous makes its hardness significantly lower than solid powder, therefore result in the remarkable reduction of critical velocity.Under same process Parameter Conditions, above two factors make electrolysis or hydroxy metal powder have the sedimentation effect being significantly higher than conventional atomized powder.But study discovery further, the hole of initial electrolysis or hydroxy metal powder inside can remain after deposit, causes there is a large amount of holes in lithosomic body, has had a strong impact on the heat conduction of lithosomic body, conduction and corrosion resistance nature.On the other hand, irregular profile make electrolysis or hydroxy metal powder flowbility poor, have a strong impact on powder conveying homogeneity, cause condensate surface situation poor, spray gun also can be caused simultaneously to block.
Therefore, while guarantee electrolysis or this advantage of hydroxy metal powder height sedimentation effect, how the rate that significantly improves realizing powder flowbility and coating density of low cost waits at present to solve important technological problems.
