Description

Method for spraying abradable coating on large-size cylindrical part

Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of thermal spraying, in particular to a method for spraying an abradable coating of a large-size cylindrical part.

Background

Seal coatings, also known as gap control coatings or seal coatings, are coatings used to control the running clearances of mechanical parts. The abradable seal coating is a soft coating that is sprayed on the stator that mates with the rotating component to allow abrasion. Can be prepared by thermal spraying (such as plasma spraying and flame spraying).

The abradable seal coating generally includes a carcass component and an abradable component. The skeletal component may be a metal or ceramic. The abradable component may be selected from one or more of graphite, boron nitride and polybenzoate. The abradable seal coating may be composed of aluminum silicon-polyester, aluminum-boron nitride, aluminum-graphite, aluminum bronze-polyester, copper aluminum-boron nitride, nickel-graphite, nickel copper-boron nitride, nickel copper aluminum-boron nitride, nickel chromium aluminum-bentonite, nickel chromium iron aluminum-boron nitride, nickel-diatomaceous earth, nickel chromium aluminum-diatomaceous earth, and the like.

Disclosure of Invention

The inventor finds that in the spraying construction of the inner wall abradable coating of a large-size (such as the diameter is more than 500mm) cylindrical piece (such as the length-diameter ratio is more than or equal to 0.5), a large number of surface appearances such as bulges, pimples and the like exist on the surface of the coating after spraying, and the defects such as pits and the like are left on the surface of the coating after turning, so that the technical requirements of a precision power device on the abradable coating cannot be met.

In order to solve the above problems, the inventors have carried out a lot of work to study the main causes of the formation of "bulge", "pimple" and the like in the spraying process of large-sized cylindrical parts, and proposed an innovative formation mechanism of the coating defect as follows:

the cylindrical inner wall is enclosed to form a space with closed periphery, and the spraying is carried out in the closed space. The abradable coating material contains large-size abradable component particles (such as polyphenyl ester with the particle size of 100-250 mu m, boron nitride, graphite and the like), and during spraying, rebounded unmelted particles and particles such as smoke dust and the like generated by burning loss of the material exist, and the particles are easy to adhere to the surface to be sprayed, so that pollutants and defects in the coating are caused. In addition, for large cylindrical parts, due to the large diameter of the workpiece revolution, the longer distance and time between two sprays of the same spray surface are required, which exacerbates the contamination and defects in the coating. Meanwhile, the large-size barrel-shaped part is deep and has a large length-diameter ratio (more than or equal to 0.5), and smoke generated in the abradable spraying process floats near the spraying surface to form secondary pollution. In addition, the abradable coating also has the characteristics of thick spraying thickness (generally over 2mm) and long spraying time (more than 10 times of the spraying time of other coatings such as oxidation resistance, wear resistance and the like), and the spraying defects such as bulging, pimples and the like are particularly remarkable on the abradable coating.

Based on the above-described innovative recognition of the defect formation mechanism, the present disclosure provides an innovative method of spraying an abradable coating on a cylindrical inner wall, the method comprising:

(1) providing a cylindrical inner wall to be sprayed, and determining a circular plane in a space formed by enclosing the cylindrical inner wall, wherein the circular plane is vertical to the axis of the cylindrical inner wall, the circle center O of the circular plane is positioned on the axis, and the radius of the circular plane is equal to that of the cylindrical inner wall;

(2) providing a spray gun combination mechanism, wherein the spray gun combination mechanism comprises a coating spray gun, a first air flow spray gun, a second air flow spray gun and a third air flow spray gun, the coating spray gun is used for spraying coating and flame flow, the first air flow spray gun, the second air flow spray gun and the third air flow spray gun are respectively used for spraying purging air flow, and the coating spray gun, the first air flow spray gun, the second air flow spray gun and the third air flow spray gun are fixed in relative positions;

(3) the relative positions of the paint spray gun, the first air flow spray gun, the second air flow spray gun and the third air flow spray gun and the cylindrical inner wall are set to satisfy the following conditions i) to iii):

i) the coating spray gun, the first air flow spray gun, the second air flow spray gun and the third air flow spray gun are all positioned on the circular plane determined in the step (1), and spray drop points are respectively formed on the edges of the circular plane and are respectively marked as a drop point T, a drop point A, a drop point B and a drop point C;

ii) on the edge of the circular plane, the falling point A and the falling point B are respectively positioned AT two sides of the falling point T, an arc AT and an arc BT are formed on the edge of the circular plane, the length of the arc AT is 2-4 flame spot diameters, and the length of the arc BT is 2-4 flame spot diameters; the flame spot diameter refers to the width of a strip-shaped coating mark formed when a coating spray gun sweeps through a to-be-sprayed area of the cylindrical inner wall; and

iii) the included angle between the line OC and the line OT is 30-180 degrees (for example, 150-180 degrees), and the line OC and the line OT are respectively the connection line between the circle center O and the drop point C and the drop point T;

(4) the cylindrical inner wall and the spray gun combination mechanism rotate relatively around the axis, and in the rotating process, the coating spray gun, the first air flow spray gun, the second air flow spray gun and the third air flow spray gun sweep the surface to be sprayed on the cylindrical inner wall, wherein the coating spray gun sprays flame flow containing coating components to the cylindrical inner wall, and the first air flow spray gun, the second air flow spray gun and the third air flow spray gun spray sweeping air flow to the cylindrical inner wall;

and in the spraying process, a dust suction device is used for sucking and removing dust below a space formed by enclosing the cylindrical inner wall.

In some embodiments, the suction opening of the suction device is located on the central axis of the cylindrical inner wall. In this way, the gas flow is mainly located in the center of the cylindrical inner wall, and the gas flow does not adversely affect the temperature field and the velocity field of the spray flame flow.

The innovative concept of the present disclosure lies in: the surface to be sprayed is cleaned through a specific air flow blowing process. For example, in a primary spraying process, with the relative rotation of the cylindrical inner wall and the spray gun combination mechanism, the spray guns of the spray gun combination mechanism sequentially perform the following treatment on the cylindrical inner wall:

(1) the first air flow spray gun performs first surface sweeping on the surface to be sprayed, and the main purpose is to provide a clean surface to be sprayed;

(2) the coating spray gun sprays flame flow containing coating to the surface to be sprayed;

(3) the second air flow spray gun performs secondary blowing on the surface which is just sprayed, and the main purpose is to avoid the combination of pollutants and the surface which is just sprayed and has higher temperature;

(4) the third air flow spray gun performs three times of blowing and cooling on the spraying surface treated in the previous step, and mainly aims to remove the adhesion of large-size rebound particles to the surface to be sprayed;

(5) the dust suction device arranged below the cylindrical part forms air flow from top to bottom by sucking dust, and 50-200 mu m spraying pollutants suspended in the inner cavity of the casing are removed in real time.

The experimental data prove that: the falling points of the first air flow spray gun and the second air flow spray gun on the spraying surface are required to be 2-4 flame spot diameters away from the falling point of the coating spray gun on the spraying surface. Too close a distance disturbs the temperature and velocity fields of the spray flame, leading to a decrease in the temperature of the flame and to a disturbance of the trajectory of the sprayed material, whereas too far a distance does not function as a surface cleaning, and a large number of defects still occur in the coating.

The experimental data prove that: the application of only the 1 st and 2 nd air flows is not sufficient to stably remove the spray defects, particularly the large-sized defects, in the coating layer, which are mainly caused by the large-sized rebound particles of 200 μm to 500 μm. The third air flow spray gun is arranged in the range that the included angle between the OC and the connecting line OT is more than 30 degrees, so that the defect caused by the large-size rebound particles can be effectively eliminated.

The characteristics act synergistically to play an unexpected improvement effect on the surface quality of the coating.
