Description
- The present invention relates to a method of coating a substrate with high temperature ceramics.
- Throughout this specification the expression "high temperature ceramics" is intended to encompass oxides, carbides and nitrides of metals such as chromium, aluminium and zirconium having a melting point above 1800°C.
- Chromium oxide has been plasma-sprayed on substrates for many years for applications in such industries as the aerospace and automobile industries.
- A further need for relatively thick, high hardness and low porosity chromium oxide coatings is in the print roller industry. In this industry, coatings are usually laser engraved thereby producing indents which are designed to hold ink. The harder and thicker the coating, the greater the density of holes that can be achieved. Atmospheric plasma spraying has produced coating densities between 90- 95% theoretical values, but this allows aggressive gases to penetrate the open porosity and damage both the coating and substrate material. Considerable work has been attempted to reach gas tightness in plasma-sprayed chromium oxide coatings using vacuum plasma spraying, post heat treatments and capsule hot isostatic pressings, but with little success.
- Some work has been carried out on the use of acetylene in the high velocity oxyfuel thermal spraying of chromium oxide. However, acetylene is a fuel gas well-known for its tendency to decompose with violence and has to be used at relatively low pressures.
- Other pressurised gas fuels have been used in high velocity oxyfuel thermal spraying processes including a stabilised mixture of methylacetylene and propadiene (MAPP). MAPP is a registered trade mark of the Air Reduction Company, Inc. MAPP is a mixture of methylacetylene and propadiene together with diluents or stabilisers such as propane and propylene. Other diluents can be present for example, methane, butane or ethane but in small percentage amounts. MAPP is used extensively particularly in the United States as a safer and more economic substitute for acetylene (see, for example, EP-A-0621079). However, difficulties have been experienced since it is customary to store liquid MAPP in a pressurised cylinder and eject the liquid MAPP as a gas under vapour pressure to employ the same in high pressure, high flow rate oxyfuel thermal spraying applications. It has been found that high vapour withdrawal rates effectively results in a fractional distillation of the MAPP gas components resulting in composition changes as the cylinder content decreases. This has been found to cause fluctuations in flame temperature and a need to adjust the flow rate of oxygen to avoid excess carbon build-up or excess oxygen.
- Maintaining a constant pressure and flow rate presents further problems. This is because as the level of the liquid fuel in the pressurised cylinder decreases, the temperature likewise decreases due to the latent heat of vaporization. A reduction in temperature within the pressurised cylinder results in a reduction of pressure which adversely affects both the pressure and flow rate of the vaporized fuel stream.
- It is an aim of the present invention to provide an improved method of coating a substrate with a high temperature ceramic using a high velocity oxyfuel thermal spraying technique in which the fuel gas is MAPP.
- According to the present invention, a method of coating a substrate with a high temperature ceramic comprises the steps of:
- a) injecting an inert gas under pressure into a container containing liquid methyl acetylene/propadiene sufficient to generate a stream of liquid methyl acetylene/propadiene;
- b) removing said stream of liquid methylacetylene/propadiene from the container;
- c) vaporising said stream of liquid methylacetylene/propadiene;
- d) delivering the vaporised methylacetylene/propadiene through a heated and/or insulated conduit to a mixing chamber of a high velocity oxygen fuel spray gun where it is mixed with oxygen under pressure;
- e) introducing said mixture into a combustion chamber of the high velocity oxygen fuel spray gun together with a powdered high temperature ceramic entrained in a stream of an inert gas; and
- f) spraying the heated particles of the high temperature ceramic on to the surface of a substrate.
-
- An embodiment of the invention will now be described, by way of example, reference being made to the Figures of the accompanying diagrammatic drawings in which:
- Figure 1 is a diagrammatic sketch of an apparatus for producing MAPP gas having a substantially constant pressure, flow rate and gas composition;
- Figure 2 is a diagrammatic sketch of an apparatus for coating a substrate with a high temperature ceramic and incorporating the apparatus illustrated in Figure 1; and
- Figure 3 is a diagrammatic sketch of a high velocity oxyfuel gun forming part of the apparatus of Figure 2.
-
- Referring first to Figure 1 which illustrates an
apparatus 2 for generating a vaporised stream of MAPP having a substantially constant pressure, flow rate and composition. Theapparatus 2 includes a storage container 4 for liquid MAPP having aninlet 6 for receiving an inert gas, for example, nitrogen via aconduit 8 extending from a pressurisednitrogen gas cylinder 10. The storage container 4 contains atube 12 which extends almost to thefloor 14 of the container and which provides a pathway for the flow of liquid MAPP when pressure is applied by the incoming nitrogen. The storage container 4 includes anoutlet 16 through which pressurised liquid MAPP can pass into aconduit 18 via aflexible delivery tube 20. The flow of liquid MAPP through theconduit 18 is controlled by avalve 22. - The
conduit 18 is connected to avaporiser 24 operating at a temperature sufficient to vaporise the liquid MAPP. One such example of a suitable vaporiser is a hot water/glycol vaporiser maintained at a temperature sufficient to vaporise each component of the liquid MAPP, typically between 30 and 100°C by means of a thermostatically controlledimmersion heater 26. - The flow of liquid MAPP from the
conduit 18 into thevaporiser 24 is controlled by a temperature sensitive shut offvalve 28 which includes athermal probe 30 which detects the temperature of the water bath within the vaporiser. Thevalve 28 is operated to prevent the flow of the liquid MAPP into thevaporiser 24 until the water bath has attained a minimum desired temperature sufficient for vaporisation of the liquid MAPP. Thevalve 28 therefore prevents flooding of thevaporiser 24 with the liquid MAPP before it has reached operating temperature and thus avoids any liquid fuel carry over into the vaporising portion of theapparatus 2. - The
vaporiser 24 transforms the liquid MAPP into a heated high pressure, high flow rate vaporised fuel stream having a temperature of typically up to about 50°C. The vaporised MAPP stream exits thevaporiser 24 through aconduit 32 controlled by avalve 34. Theconduit 32 may be heated and/or insulated to prevent condensation of the vaporised MAPP stream. For example, theconduit 32 may be wrapped in a heating tape for this purpose. - In use, nitrogen from the
gas cylinder 10 is fed to the storage container 4 via theconduit 8. Apressure regulator 36 is provided to ensure that the nitrogen is fed into the storage container 4 at a suitable pressure, typically from about 0.91 to 1.35 MPa about (115 to 190 psig), preferably from about 0.99 to 1.24 MPa about (140 - 175 psig). - A
safety valve 38 is provided in theconduit 8 to allow the release of the nitrogen through avent 40 when the storage container 4 has been substantially relieved of the liquid MAPP. - The nitrogen enters the
head space 42 of the container 4 thereby exerting a downward force against thesurface 44 of the liquid MAPP. The MAPP is therefore forced upwardly through thetube 12 and out of theoutlet 16 and thus eventually into thevaporiser 24. - Referring now to Figure 2, there is illustrated an
apparatus 50 for coating a substrate with a high temperature ceramic such as chromium oxide. Theapparatus 50 includes a high velocity oxyfuel gun 52 (see also Figure 3) having agas mixing chamber 54, acombustion chamber 56 and anozzle 58 extending outwardly from thecombustion chamber 56. Thechambers partition 55 provided withholes 57. - As shown, communicating with the
gas mixing chamber 54 is afirst conduit 60 connected to a source of oxygen under pressure and asecond conduit 62 connected to theconduit 32 extending from thevaporiser 24. - Extending through the
mixing chamber 54 and communicating directly with thecombustion chamber 56 is athird conduit 64.Conduit 64 extends from a chromiumoxide powder reservoir 66. Apipe 68 extends from a source of argon under pressure into the upper (as shown) end of thereservoir 66. - The
gun 52 is provided with channels for a coolant, for example water. - In use, MAPP vapour is supplied to the
gas mixing chamber 54 from thevaporiser 24 viaconduits conduit 60 into thegas mixing chamber 54. The oxygen and the MAPP vapour are mixed in the mixing chamber and exit the mixing chamber to enter thecombustion chamber 56 of thegun 52 via theholes 57 where they are ignited. Simultaneously, argon under pressure passes through thepipe 68 into thereservoir 66 where it entrains chromium oxide powder and thereafter passes through theconduit 64 directly into thecombustion chamber 56. Exhaust flames and heated powdered chromium oxide particles leave the combustion chamber through thenozzle 58 and are deposited on the substrate 70. - Chromium oxide coated test samples were produced using a high velocity oxyfuel gun, having a 22 millimetre combustion chamber designed for high melting point powders. High purity chromium oxide, powder size range between 5 and 22 µm was used to spray all test samples at a powder feed rate of 25 grams per minute using high purity argon carrier gas at 11.5 litres per minute. The MAPP vapour was introduced into the combustion chamber at a pressure of 85 psi (0.59 MPa) and a flowrate of 70 l/min and the oxygen was introduced into the combustion chamber at a pressure of 150 psi (1.03 MPa) and a flow rate of 233 I/min. Surface treatment of all test samples with 40 grit alumina gave a minimum sample surface roughness (rα) of 7 - 10 µm. All test pieces were coated to a thickness between 200 - 260 µm, keeping coating temperatures below 150°C. Thicknesses greater than 380 µm were achievable.
- It has been found that the deposition on a substrate of a high temperature ceramic such as chromium oxide or zirconium oxide using high velocity oxyfuel thermal spraying where the fuel gas is MAPP gas delivered at a substantially constant pressure, flow rate and composition results in a coating of high quality having very little porosity and high hardness.
