The cold spraying preparation method of the corrosion-resistant aluminium base or zinc-aluminium Base Metal coating of Mg alloy surface
Technical field
The invention belongs to material surface engineering technolog and mechanical manufacturing field, be specifically related to the cold spraying preparation method of the corrosion-resistant aluminium base or zinc-aluminium Base Metal coating of a kind of Mg alloy surface.
Background technology
Magnesium alloy, as structural metallic materials, has a lot of excellent performance: the low (1.8g/cm of density
3), be only 2/3 of aluminium, 1/4 of iron; Specific tenacity and specific rigidity large; Damping performance is good, can bear the shock load larger than aluminium alloy, be suitable for the part bearing high vibration; Matter is soft, Cutting free processing etc.These advantages of magnesium alloy make it obtain more application in fields such as aerospace, automotive industry, telecommunications, have extraordinary prospect.But as structured material, the poor etch resistant properties of magnesium alloy limits its use in a variety of contexts.
At present, the solidity to corrosion adopting surface reforming layer to improve magnesium alloy, as chemical conversion film, anodic oxidation treatment, various coating and coating, laser modified technology etc. more.Chemical conversion film is extensively used as japanning bottom, but research shows, chemical conversion film can only slowing down corrosion speed, effectively can not prevent corrosion, and normal containing heavy metal ion in plating solution, and preparation process causes certain pollution to environment; Anonizing is a kind of new surface treatment technologies of rising in recent years, can obtain wear-resistant, to have certain corrosion resistance nature coating, but the fragility of anode oxide film is comparatively large, porous, is difficult to obtain uniform oxide film; The metal plating of magnesium alloy generally adopts electro-plating method, but due to the potential pole of magnesium low, be not easy Direct precipitation resistant metal, and usually containing prussiate in plating solution, larger pollution existed to environment; Utilize thermospray in Mg alloy surface metal refining coating, as aluminum coating is prepared in thermospray, but in thermal spray process, can there is strong reaction in Mg alloy surface, makes Mg alloy surface oxidized, generates the oxide film that solidity to corrosion is very poor.In recent years, laser modified technology is widely used, but magnesium alloy is easily oxidized, evaporates and produces the problems such as vaporization, pore and thermal stresses when laser treatment.To sum up, still there is more problem in the existing method improving corrosion stability of magnesium alloy.
Cold spraying is a kind of high-speed impact by micro-meter scale particle under solid conditions, by particle and basal body interface or particle and the sub-interface of deposited particles is violent viscous deformation and the technology of formation of deposits coating.Lower technological temperature (fusing point lower than spray material) can avoid oxidation and the grain growth of metallics in spraying process, it also avoid simultaneously and cause heat affecting to magnesium alloy substrate, therefore cold spraying is the potential effective ways preparing high performance corrosion-proof metallic coating at Mg alloy surface.In producing, do not produce the waste liquid being rich in heavy metal ion, therefore relative to electrochemical method, cold spraying is a kind of green preparation technology of coating of relative environmental protection.
The compactness of coating is the most important factor affecting integrated member corrosion resistance nature except the attribute of material own.The compactness of cold spraying coating depends on the size of cold spraying particle amount of plastic deformation in Collision deposition process: amount of plastic deformation is larger, and the density of coating is higher, and erosion resistance is better.Current stage, the method improving cold spraying particles deform amount mainly contains two kinds:
1) kinetic energy when improving velocity of particle and then increase particle encounter;
2) temperature improving particle makes particle that significant softening occur.
Cold spraying Al alloy particle because of its density low, momentum and energy low, during high velocity impact deposition, mutual densification is weak, and the compactness of coating is lower.Usually, by increasing substantially velocity of particle further to improve coating compactness.But the speed significantly improving particle needs usually using the helium of costliness as acceleration gas (being about 50 times of nitrogen), and cost is high, limits industrial volume production.The temperature significantly improving particle will be that the metal transfer of these low melting points softens, and then is deposited on spray gun inwall, causes spray gun block, spraying process poor controllability, is difficult to continuous spray production.
Therefore, how low cost to realize aluminium base and the significantly improving of zinc-aluminium base corrosion-resistant finishes of Mg alloy surface be wait at present to solve important technological problems.

3rd, the fatigue lifetime that the cold spraying of Mg alloy surface is aluminium base, Zinc and Aluminum Base Coating not only can not reduce matrix, residual compressive stress on the contrary owing to producing during particle hits Mg alloy surface matrix, effectively can improve the crack propagation resistance of matrix, significantly improve the fatigue lifetime of matrix.
4th, the present invention is without the need to adopting expensive helium as acceleration gas.Meanwhile, the temperature and pressure accelerating gas is all relatively low, therefore, can be realized by Portable type cold spraying equipment, and increased considerably the handiness of construction, coating manufacturing cost is also relatively low simultaneously.
The inventive method achieves the fine and close low cost that is aluminium base or zinc-aluminium Base Metal coating of Mg alloy surface and prepares.Therefore, have broad application prospects in Corrosion Behaviors of Magnesium Alloys protection field.
Further, in dusty spray, hard-particle powder can be metal, alloy and ceramic particle, and only need hardness to be significantly greater than sprayed material, the viscous deformation therefore occurred in knockout process mainly concentrates on spray material, and then hole is disappeared.Hard-particle powder has larger particle diameter (>150 μm), make its impact velocity lower, depositing hardly when colliding lower than the critical velocity of cold spraying deposition under spraying conditions, the composition depositing the coated material caused due to hard particles can be avoided to change.
