Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of coating a substrate with high temperature ceramics.
- 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.
- 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.
- acetylene is a fuel gas well-known for its tendency to decompose with violence and has to be used at relatively low pressures.
- MAPP methylacetylene and propadiene
- 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.
- 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).
- 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.
- a method of coating a substrate with a high temperature ceramic comprises the steps of:
- FIG. 1 illustrates an apparatus 2 for generating a vaporised stream of MAPP having a substantially constant pressure, flow rate and composition.
- the apparatus 2 includes a storage container 4 for liquid MAPP having an inlet 6 for receiving an inert gas, for example, nitrogen via a conduit 8 extending from a pressurised nitrogen gas cylinder 10.
- the storage container 4 contains a tube 12 which extends almost to the floor 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 an outlet 16 through which pressurised liquid MAPP can pass into a conduit 18 via a flexible delivery tube 20. The flow of liquid MAPP through the conduit 18 is controlled by a valve 22.
- the conduit 18 is connected to a vaporiser 24 operating at a temperature sufficient to vaporise the liquid MAPP.
- 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 controlled immersion heater 26.
- the flow of liquid MAPP from the conduit 18 into the vaporiser 24 is controlled by a temperature sensitive shut off valve 28 which includes a thermal probe 30 which detects the temperature of the water bath within the vaporiser.
- the valve 28 is operated to prevent the flow of the liquid MAPP into the vaporiser 24 until the water bath has attained a minimum desired temperature sufficient for vaporisation of the liquid MAPP.
- the valve 28 therefore prevents flooding of the vaporiser 24 with the liquid MAPP before it has reached operating temperature and thus avoids any liquid fuel carry over into the vaporising portion of the apparatus 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 the vaporiser 24 through a conduit 32 controlled by a valve 34.
- the conduit 32 may be heated and/or insulated to prevent condensation of the vaporised MAPP stream.
- the conduit 32 may be wrapped in a heating tape for this purpose.
- nitrogen from the gas cylinder 10 is fed to the storage container 4 via the conduit 8.
- a pressure 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 the conduit 8 to allow the release of the nitrogen through a vent 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 the surface 44 of the liquid MAPP.
- the MAPP is therefore forced upwardly through the tube 12 and out of the outlet 16 and thus eventually into the vaporiser 24.
- the apparatus 50 includes a high velocity oxyfuel gun 52 (see also Figure 3) having a gas mixing chamber 54, a combustion chamber 56 and a nozzle 58 extending outwardly from the combustion chamber 56.
- the chambers 54, 56 are divided by a partition 55 provided with holes 57.
- communicating with the gas mixing chamber 54 is a first conduit 60 connected to a source of oxygen under pressure and a second conduit 62 connected to the conduit 32 extending from the vaporiser 24.
- Conduit 64 extends from a chromium oxide powder reservoir 66.
- a pipe 68 extends from a source of argon under pressure into the upper (as shown) end of the reservoir 66.
- the gun 52 is provided with channels for a coolant, for example water.
- MAPP vapour is supplied to the gas mixing chamber 54 from the vaporiser 24 via conduits 32, 62 at a substantially constant pressure, flow rate and gas composition.
- a stream of oxygen is supplied via the conduit 60 into the gas mixing chamber 54.
- the oxygen and the MAPP vapour are mixed in the mixing chamber and exit the mixing chamber to enter the combustion chamber 56 of the gun 52 via the holes 57 where they are ignited.
- argon under pressure passes through the pipe 68 into the reservoir 66 where it entrains chromium oxide powder and thereafter passes through the conduit 64 directly into the combustion chamber 56. Exhaust flames and heated powdered chromium oxide particles leave the combustion chamber through the nozzle 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 ⁇ m 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.
