Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine gemäss dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 ausgebildete Plasmaspritzvorrichtung.The invention relates to a trained according to the preamble of claim 1 Plasma spraying device.

Unter dem Begriff Plasmaspritzvorrichtung ist im vorliegenden wie im allgemeinen Fall eine mit einem Plasmatron versehene Beschichtungsvorrichtung zu verstehen, bei der das Beschichtungsmaterial dem Plasmastrahl in Pulverform zugeführt wird. Dieses Beschichtungsmaterial wird im Plasmastrahl aufgeschmolzen und als homogene Schicht auf das Substrat aufgetragen.The term plasma spraying device is used here as in general Case to understand a coating device provided with a plasmatron, in which the coating material is supplied to the plasma jet in powder form. This coating material is melted in the plasma jet and as a homogeneous Layer applied to the substrate.

Bei den heutzutage überwiegend zum Einsatz kommenden Plasmaspritzvorrichtungen wird das Beschichtungspulver dem Plasmastrahl von der Seite her, also radial, zugeführt.In the plasma spraying devices that are predominantly used today the coating powder is exposed to the plasma jet from the side, i.e. radially, fed.

Untersuchungen der mit solchen Plasmaspritzvorrichtungen beschichteten Substraten haben ergeben, dass es in den aufgetragenen Schichten immer wieder zu Inhomogenitäten in Form von klumpenartigen, nicht vollständig aufgeschmolzenen Pulvereinschlüssen kommt. Eine Ursache für diese Pulvereinschlüsse dürfte darin liegen, dass es am Brennerkopf im Bereich der als Anode geschalteten Auslassdüse zu Ansammlungen von Pulverpartikeln (Pulverstaub) kommt, welche Pulveransammlungen von Zeit zu Zeit vom Plasmastrahl mitgerissen werden. Sofern die vom Plasmastrahl mitgerissenen Pulveransammlungen eine bestimmte Mindestgrösse überschreiten, so ist es möglich, dass deren Verweilzeit im Plasmastrahl zu kurz ist, damit die ganze Pulvermasse vollständig aufgeschmolzen wird.Investigations of the substrates coated with such plasma spraying devices have shown that there are always inhomogeneities in the applied layers in the form of lump-like, not completely melted powder inclusions is coming. One reason for these powder inclusions is likely that it is on the burner head in the area of the outlet nozzle connected as anode Accumulations of powder particles (powder dust) comes, which accumulates powder be swept away from time to time by the plasma jet. If the plasma jet entrained powder collections exceed a certain minimum size, so it is possible that their dwell time in the plasma jet is too short the entire powder mass is melted completely.

Insbesondere zwei Gründe dürften ursächlich für solche Pulveransammlungen verantwortlich sein: Zum einen durch besondere aerodynamische Gegebenheiten -Wirbelbildung- am Brennerkopf im Bereich zwischen der Mündung des Pulverzufuhrkanals und der Auslassdüse und zum anderen durch statische Ladungen des Beschichtungspulvers.In particular, two reasons are likely to be responsible for such powder accumulations be: On the one hand due to special aerodynamic conditions - vortex formation- on the burner head in the area between the mouth of the powder feed channel and the outlet nozzle and on the other hand by static charges of the coating powder.

Es ist daher die Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine gemäss dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 ausgestaltete Plasmaspritzvorrichtung derart weiterzubilden, dass die auf das Substrat aufgetragene Spritzschicht eine höhere Qualität aufweist, indem insbesondere vermieden wird, dass es zu klumpenartigen Pulvereinschlüssen kommt. It is therefore the object of the invention, one according to the preamble of the claim 1 designed plasma spray device such that the on the substrate applied spray coating has a higher quality, in particular it is avoided that lump-like powder inclusions occur.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die im Kennzeichen des Anspruchs 1 aufgeführten Merkmale gelöst.This object is achieved by the features listed in the characterizing part of claim 1 solved.

Durch die angeführten Merkmale kann dem geschilderten Problem abgeholfen werden, indem verhindert wird, dass es insbesondere im Bereich zwischen dem Pulverzufuhrkanal und der Auslassdüse zu Pulveransammlungen kommt.The described problem can be remedied by the listed characteristics, by preventing it in particular in the area between the powder feed channel and the outlet nozzle comes to accumulate powder.

Bevorzugte Ausführungsformen der Plasmaspritzvorrichtung sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen 2 bis 9 umschrieben.Preferred embodiments of the plasma spraying device are in the dependent ones Claims 2 to 9 circumscribed.

Die Figur 1 zeigt eine schematische Seitenansicht eines herkömmlichen Brennerkopfs 1. Aus dieser Darstellung sind ein Anodenbasiskörper 2, ein Kathodenbasiskörper 4 und ein dazwischen eingefügter Isolierkörper 3, welcher den Anodenbasiskörper 2 elektrisch gegenüber dem Kathodenbasiskörper 4 isoliert, ersichtlich.FIG. 1 shows a schematic side view of a conventional burner head 1. From this illustration are an anode base body 2, a cathode base body 4 and an interposed insulating body 3, which the anode base body 2 electrically isolated from the cathode base 4.

Der Anodenbasiskörper 2 ist mit einer Anodendüse 6 und der Kathodenbasiskörper 4 mit einer Kathode 7 versehen, wobei sowohl die Anodendüse 6 wie auch die Kathode 7 quer zur Längsmittelachse L2 des Brennerkopfs 1 in diesen eingesetzt sind, so dass ein erzeugter Plasmastrahl 10 radial aus dem Brennerkopf 1 austritt. Sowohl der Anodenbasiskörper 2 wie auch der Kathodenbasiskörper 4 sind aus einem elektrisch gut leitenden Material wie beispielsweise Messing gefertigt. Dabei ist die Anodendüse 6 elektrisch mit dem Anodenbasiskörper 2 und die Kathode 7 elektrisch mit dem Kathodenbasiskörper 4 verbunden. Die Zufuhr des Beschichtungspulvers erfolgt über ein Rohr 9, welches auf der Aussenseite des Brennerkopfs 1 angeordnet ist. Da dieses Rohr 9 quer zur Längsmittelachse L1 der Auslassdüse 6 verläuft, wird das Beschichtungsmaterial dem andeutungsweise eingezeichneten Plasmastrahl 10 im wesentlichen radial zugeführt. Der Brennerkopf 1 ist sehr kompakt ausgebildet, wodurch sich die gezeigte Plasmaspritzvorrichtung insbesondere auch zum Beschichten von Bohrungs- und Rohrwandungen eignet. Auf die übrigen, für die Zufuhr der Betriebs- sowie Kühlmedien notwendigen Kanäle wird im einzelnen nicht näher eingegangen.The anode base body 2 has an anode nozzle 6 and the cathode base body 4 provided with a cathode 7, both the anode nozzle 6 and the cathode 7 are inserted transversely to the longitudinal center axis L2 of the burner head 1, so that a generated plasma jet 10 radially emerges from the burner head 1. Either the anode base body 2 and the cathode base body 4 are made of one electrical well conductive material such as brass. Here is the Anode nozzle 6 electrically with the anode base body 2 and the cathode 7 electrically connected to the cathode base body 4. The supply of the coating powder takes place via a tube 9, which is arranged on the outside of the burner head 1 is. Since this tube 9 runs transversely to the longitudinal center axis L1 of the outlet nozzle 6, the coating material to the indicated plasma jet 10 fed essentially radially. The burner head 1 is very compact, whereby the plasma spraying device shown is particularly suitable for coating of bore and pipe walls. On the rest, for feeding the channels required for the operating and cooling media are not described in detail received.

Anhand dieser drei Figuren wird die Ausgestaltung des Brennerkopfs 1 näher erläutert, wobei gleiche Teile mit denselben Bezugszeichen wie in der Fig. 1 versehen sind. Beim gezeigten Brennerkopf 1 ist in den Anodenbasiskörper 2 ein Gaszufuhrkanal 12 (Fig. 2) eingelassen, der in eine im wesentlichen kegelförmig gestaltete Ausnehmung 13 mündet. Das für die Zufuhr des Beschichtungspulvers vorgesehene Rohr 9 ist an einem Abstützelement 14 fixiert, welches mit einem sich zwischen der Ausnehmung 13 und dem Pulverzufuhrrohr 9 erstreckenden Hohlraum 15 versehen ist. Dieser Hohlraum 15 kann über den Kanal 12 mit einem Gas geflutet werden, wie dies in Fig. 2 andeutungsweise dargestellt ist. Dieses Gas 16 tritt auf der zum Plasmastrahl 10 gerichteten Seite aus dem Hohlraum 15 aus und verhindert somit, dass es im aerodynamisch kritischen Bereich zwischen der Austrittskante der Anodendüse 6 und der Mündung des Pulverzufuhrrohrs 9 zu Pulveransammlungen kommt.2 shows a schematic side view of the burner head according to the invention 1, while Fig. 3 is a plan view of the burner head 1 and Fig. 4 is a Front view of the burner head 1 shows. The design is based on these three figures of the burner head 1 explained in more detail, the same parts with the same reference numerals are provided as in Fig. 1. In the burner head 1 shown in the Anode base body 2 has a gas supply channel 12 (FIG. 2) which is essentially in a conical recess 13 opens. That for the supply of the Pipe 9 provided for coating powder is fixed to a support element 14, which with a between the recess 13 and the powder feed pipe 9th extending cavity 15 is provided. This cavity 15 can over the channel 12 are flooded with a gas, as is indicated in Fig. 2. This gas 16 emerges from the cavity on the side facing the plasma jet 10 15 and thus prevents it from being in the aerodynamically critical area between the trailing edge of the anode nozzle 6 and the mouth of the powder feed tube 9 Powder buildup is coming.

Fig. 5 zeigt eine Draufsicht auf den Anodenbasiskörper und Fig. 6 einen Längsschnitt durch den Anodenbasiskörper. Aus diesen beiden Figuren geht insbesondere die Ausgestaltung der Anodendüse 6 sowie die Form der Ausnehmung 13 hervor.FIG. 5 shows a top view of the anode base body and FIG. 6 shows a longitudinal section through the anode base body.
