Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for producing a coating or a molded part by means of cold gas spraying, in which the powdered spray particles are injected into a gas jet, for which a gas is brought to a high initial pressure of up to 6.3 MPa and expanded via a Lavalduse, are injected by means of a powder tube and the spray particles are brought up to speeds of up to 2000 m / sec when the gas jet is expanded in the Lavalduse.
  • the associated gas temperature can be up to 800 ° C, but is well below the melting temperature of the coating material, so that the particles do not melt in the gas jet. Oxidation and / or phase transformations of the coating material can thus be largely avoided.
  • the spray particles are added as a powder, the powder usually at least partially comprising particles with a size of 1 to 50 ⁇ m. The spray particles receive the high kinetic energy during gas expansion. After the injection of the spray particles into the gas jet, the gas is expanded in a nozzle, the gas and spray particles being accelerated to speeds above the speed of sound.
  • Laval nozzles consist of a convergent section and a divergent section adjoining it in the flow direction.
  • the contour of the nozzle must be shaped in a certain way in the divergent area so that there are no flow separations and no compression surges and the gas flow obeys the laws according to de Laval.
  • Laval nozzles are characterized by this contour and the length of the divergent section and also by the ratio of the outlet cross section to the narrowest cross section.
  • the narrowest cross section of the Lavalduse is called the nozzle neck.
  • Nitrogen, helium, argon, air or their mixtures are used as the process gas. However, nitrogen is mostly used; higher particle speeds are achieved with helium or helium-nitrogen mixtures.
  • Devices for cold gas spraying are currently designed for pressures of approximately 1 MPa up to a maximum pressure of 3.5 Pa and gas temperatures of up to approximately 800 ° C.
  • the heated gas is expanded together with the spray particles in a Laval nozzle. While the pressure in the Lavalduse drops, the gas speed increases to values up to 3000m / s and the particle speed increases to values up to 2000 m / s.
  • the spray particles are injected into the Lavalduse in front of the nozzle neck in the entrance area of the Lavalduse with the aid of a powder tube, as seen in the direction of flow and spray. There is a pressure condition close to the initial pressure, so values of up to 3.5 MPa are possible.
  • At least one such pressure must now be applied when the powdered coating material is injected.
  • the design and operation of a powder conveyor are extremely problematic at such high pressures and are not yet technically satisfactorily solved.
  • Disruptive swirling of the spray particles at the end of the powder tube with which the particles are injected into the Lavalduse are also disadvantageous. These turbulences are a hindrance to acceleration and have a poor quality effect.
  • the production of a Laval nozzle, in which the high gas and particle speeds are achieved is very complex and cost-intensive due to its smallest, narrow cross-section of only 1.5 to 3.5 mm in diameter.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object of demonstrating a method and a device of the type mentioned at the outset which carry out the injection of the spray particles while avoiding the disadvantages mentioned.
  • This object is achieved according to the invention in that the injection of the spray particles takes place only in the divergent section of the Lavalduse. Moving the injection site into an area where the nozzle is already expanding means that the injection takes place at a pressure that is significantly below the maximum initial pressure, since the gas is already depressurized in this area. The strong pressure drop in the area of the nozzle neck even allows the gas inlet pressure to be increased to up to 6.3 MPa. Because of the pressure drop, the injection of the powdered spray particles is made considerably easier and technology known from thermal spraying processes can be used.
  • the design and operation of the powder conveyor are simplified and common powder conveyors, which usually work in the range up to 1.5 MPa, can be used. Since not only the pressure drops in the divergent part of the Lavalduse, but also the temperature of the gas drops, the gas can be preheated to higher temperatures. The gas flow rate can thus be increased. However, the spray particles only come into contact with the "cold" gas. This prevents caking of the particles on the nozzle wall, as happens at higher gas inlet temperatures.
  • the combination of the shapes that is to say the outer contour of the powder tube together with the inner contour of the outer tube into which the gas flows, results in a nozzle which obeys the laws of de Laval.
  • the powder tube is advantageously attached axially and centrally in the outer nozzle body.
  • the cold gas spraying process can be advantageously operated with this Lavalduse.
  • the preheated gas is accelerated to speeds of up to 3000m / s.
  • High gas flow velocities are a prerequisite for high particle velocities.
  • the particles come into contact with the gas at high speeds and at temperatures at which the spray particles are only warmed up. As a result, the heated spray particles are optimally accelerated before they hit the workpiece.
  • the injection of the spray particles takes place at a location which is in the range between a quarter and half of a distance, the starting point of which is defined by the nozzle neck and the end point of which is determined by the nozzle outlet, measurement being carried out from the nozzle neck.
  • the injection site for the spray particles is advantageously selected so that the injection of the spray particles takes place in the divergent section of the Lavalduse at a pressure of less than two thirds of the initial pressure. This ensures simple injection particle injection and common powder conveyors can be used. It is even possible to inject the spray particles at pressures that are below normal pressure. This means that no pressure has to be applied for the injection, since the spray particles are drawn into the gas jet.
  • the inlet pressure for the gas can be selected to be significantly higher than in the cold gas spraying process customary today.
  • a high gas inlet pressure which in the process according to the invention can be up to 6.3 MPa, preferably between 1.0 and 3.5 MPa, results in high gas velocities and thus enables high velocities for the spray particles.
  • the gas passage at the narrowest point has an annular cross section. This is limited internally by the outer contour of the powder tube and externally by the inner contour of the nozzle tube.
  • the gas is accelerated in this gas passage.
  • the gas consumption during cold gas spraying is also predetermined by the size of the gas passage. Since the circular cross section can be selected to be small without problems, the method proposed here can be used economically.
  • the cold gas spray device is characterized in that the powder tube ends in the divergent section within the Lavalduse.
  • the powder tube thus ends in an area in which the pressure already drops due to the gas acceleration.
  • the construction of the powder conveyor is simplified considerably since it only has to be dimensioned for the lower pressure that prevails at the end of the powder tube. Due to the introduction of the powder tube into an outer nozzle body, the Lavalduse now consists of two parts which are easy to manufacture.
  • the outer nozzle body, the inside of which has to be machined, is relatively large and the powder tube, which forms the second part of the Lavalduse, can only be machined on the outside.
  • the Lavalduse required according to the invention is thus significantly easier to manufacture than the hitherto used nozzles, since in particular the inner contour of a nozzle, if it is very narrow, is difficult to manufacture. This is of great advantage because the nozzle is subject to great wear during cold gas spraying and must therefore be replaced regularly.
  • the gas Consumption of the cold gas spray device according to the invention does not increase due to the larger cross section of the Lavalduse, since this is given by the closest distance between the outer edge of the powder tube and the inner contour of the outer nozzle body. This is necessary because the gas consumption, which is already very high in the prior art process, must not be increased further in order to be able to carry out the process proposed here economically. Swirling of the spray particles, which arise at the point of discharge, which reduces quality is also prevented by such a configuration of the Lavalduse comprising the powder tube and the outer nozzle body.

  • This feature ensures that the gas consumption, which is given by this annular surface, is comparable to the gas consumption of a cold gas spraying device according to the prior art and that the other function also results in a favorable manner.

Verfahren und Vorrichtung zum KaltgasspritzenMethod and device for cold gas spraying
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zur Herstellung einer Beschichtung oder eines Formteils mittels Kaltgasspritzen, bei dem die pulverförmigen Spritzpartikel in einen Gasstrahl, für welchen ein Gas auf einen hohen Ausgangsdruck von bis zu 6,3 MPa gebracht und über eine Lavalduse entspannt wird, mittels eines Pulverrohrs injiziert werden und die Spritzpartikel bei der Entspannung des Gasstrahls in der Lavalduse auf Geschwindigkeiten von bis zu 2000 m/sec gebracht werden.The invention relates to a method and a device for producing a coating or a molded part by means of cold gas spraying, in which the powdered spray particles are injected into a gas jet, for which a gas is brought to a high initial pressure of up to 6.3 MPa and expanded via a Lavalduse, are injected by means of a powder tube and the spray particles are brought up to speeds of up to 2000 m / sec when the gas jet is expanded in the Lavalduse.
Es ist bekannt, auf Werkstoffe unterschiedlichster Art Beschichtungen mittels thermischen Spritzens aufzubringen. Bekannte Verfahren hierfür sind beispielsweise Flammspritzen, Lichtbogenspritzen, Plasmaspritzen oder Hochgeschwindigkeits- Flammspritzen. In jüngerer Zeit wurde ein Verfahren entwickelt, das sog. Kaltgasspritzen, bei welchem die Spritzpartikel in einem "kalten" Gasstrahl auf hohe Ge- schwindigkeiten beschleunigt werden. Die Beschichtung wird durch das Auftreffen der Partikel auf dem Werkstück mit hoher kinetischer Energie gebildet. Beim Aufprall bilden die Partikel, die in dem "kalten" Gasstrahl nicht schmelzen, eine dichte und fest haftende Schicht, wobei plastische Verformung und daraus resultierende lokale Wärmefreigabe für Kohäsion und Haftung der Spritzschicht auf dem Werkstück sorgen. Ein Aufheizen des Gasstrahls erwärmt die Partikel zur besseren plastischen Verformung beim Aufprall und erhöht die Strömungsgeschwindigkeit des Gases und somit auch die Partikelgeschwindigkeit. Die damit verbundene Gastemperatur kann bis zu 800 °C betragen, liegt aber deutlich unterhalb der Schmelztemperatur des Beschichtungswerk- stoffs, so dass ein Schmelzen der Partikel im Gasstrahl nicht stattfindet. Eine Oxidation und/oder Phasenumwandlungen des Beschichtungswerkstoffes lassen sich somit weitgehend vermeiden. Die Spritzpartikel werden als Pulver zugegeben, wobei das Pulver üblicherweise zumindest teilweise Partikel mit einer Größe von 1 bis 50 μm umfasst. Die hohe kinetische Energie erhalten die Spritzpartikel bei der Gasentspannung. Nach der Injektion der Spritzpartikel in den Gasstrahl wird das Gas in einer Düse entspannt, wobei Gas und Spritzpartikel auf Geschwindigkeiten über Schallgeschwindigkeit beschleunigt werden. Ein solches Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zum Kaltgasspritzen sind in der europäischen Patentschrift EP 0 484 533 B1 im einzelnen beschrieben. Als Düse wird dabei eine de LavaPsche Düse benutzt, im folgenden kurz Lavalduse genannt. Lavaldüsen bestehen aus einem konvergenten und einem sich in Stromrichtung daran anschließenden divergenten Abschnitt. Die Kontur der Düse muß im divergenten Bereich in bestimmter Weise geformt sein, damit es nicht zu Strömungsablösungen kommt und keine Verdichtungsstöße auftreten und die Gas- Strömung den Gesetzen nach de Laval gehorcht. Charakterisiert sind Lavaldüsen durch diese Kontur und die Länge des divergenten Abschnitts und desweiteren durch das Verhältnis des Austrittquerschnitts zum engsten Querschnitt. Der engste Querschnitt der Lavalduse heißt Düsenhals. Als Prozessgas werden Stickstoff, Helium, Argon, Luft oder deren Gemische verwendet. Meist kommt jedoch Stickstoff zur An- wendung, höhere Partikelgeschwindigkeiten werden mit Helium oder Helium-Stickstoff- Gemischen erreicht.It is known to apply coatings to materials of all kinds by means of thermal spraying. Known methods for this are, for example, flame spraying, arc spraying, plasma spraying or high-speed flame spraying. A process has recently been developed, so-called cold gas spraying, in which the spray particles are accelerated to high speeds in a "cold" gas jet. The coating is formed by the impact of the particles on the workpiece with high kinetic energy. On impact, the particles that do not melt in the "cold" gas jet form a dense and firmly adhering layer, whereby plastic deformation and the resulting local heat release ensure cohesion and adhesion of the spray layer on the workpiece. Heating the gas jet heats the particles for better plastic deformation in the event of an impact and increases the flow velocity of the gas and thus also the particle velocity. The associated gas temperature can be up to 800 ° C, but is well below the melting temperature of the coating material, so that the particles do not melt in the gas jet. Oxidation and / or phase transformations of the coating material can thus be largely avoided. The spray particles are added as a powder, the powder usually at least partially comprising particles with a size of 1 to 50 μm. The spray particles receive the high kinetic energy during gas expansion. After the injection of the spray particles into the gas jet, the gas is expanded in a nozzle, the gas and spray particles being accelerated to speeds above the speed of sound. Such a method and a device for cold gas spraying are described in detail in European Patent EP 0 484 533 B1. A de LavaPsche nozzle is used as the nozzle, briefly below Called Lavalduse. Laval nozzles consist of a convergent section and a divergent section adjoining it in the flow direction. The contour of the nozzle must be shaped in a certain way in the divergent area so that there are no flow separations and no compression surges and the gas flow obeys the laws according to de Laval. Laval nozzles are characterized by this contour and the length of the divergent section and also by the ratio of the outlet cross section to the narrowest cross section. The narrowest cross section of the Lavalduse is called the nozzle neck. Nitrogen, helium, argon, air or their mixtures are used as the process gas. However, nitrogen is mostly used; higher particle speeds are achieved with helium or helium-nitrogen mixtures.
Derzeit sind Vorrichtungen zum Kaltgasspritzen auf Drücke von etwa 1 MPa bis zu einem Maximaldruck von 3,5 Pa und Gastemperaturen bis zu etwa 800 °C ausgelegt. Das erhitzte Gas wird zusammen mit den Spritzpartikeln in einer Lavalduse entspannt. Während der Druck in der Lavalduse abfällt, steigt die Gasgeschwindigkeit auf werte bis zu 3000m/s und die Partikelgeschwindigkeit auf werte bis zu 2000 m/s. Bekanntermaßen werden die Spritzpartikel mit Hilfe eines Pulverrohrs - in Strömungs- und Spritzrichtung gesehen - vor dem Düsenhals im Eingangsbereich der Lavalduse in dieselbe injiziert. Dort herrscht ein Druckzustand nahe dem Ausgangsdruck, es sind also Werte bis zu 3,5 MPa möglich. Mindestens ein solcher Druck muss nun bei der Injektion des pulverförmigen Beschichtungswerkstoffes aufgebracht werden. Konzeption und Betreiben eines Pulverförderers sind jedoch bei solch hohen Drücken äußerst problematisch und technisch noch nicht zufriedenstellend gelöst. Von Nachteil sind weiterhin störende Verwirbelungen der Spritzpartikel am Ende des Pulverrohrs, mit dem die Partikel in die Lavalduse injiziert werden. Diese Verwirbelungen sind hinderlich für die Beschleunigung und wirken sich qualitätsmindemd aus. Ferner ist die Herstellung einer Lavalduse, in welcher die hohen Gas- und Partikelgeschwindigkeiten erreicht werden, aufgrund ihres kleinsten engsten Querschnittes von nur 1,5 bis 3,5 mm Durchmesser sehr aufwendig und kostenintensiv.Devices for cold gas spraying are currently designed for pressures of approximately 1 MPa up to a maximum pressure of 3.5 Pa and gas temperatures of up to approximately 800 ° C. The heated gas is expanded together with the spray particles in a Laval nozzle. While the pressure in the Lavalduse drops, the gas speed increases to values up to 3000m / s and the particle speed increases to values up to 2000 m / s. As is known, the spray particles are injected into the Lavalduse in front of the nozzle neck in the entrance area of the Lavalduse with the aid of a powder tube, as seen in the direction of flow and spray. There is a pressure condition close to the initial pressure, so values of up to 3.5 MPa are possible. At least one such pressure must now be applied when the powdered coating material is injected. However, the design and operation of a powder conveyor are extremely problematic at such high pressures and are not yet technically satisfactorily solved. Disruptive swirling of the spray particles at the end of the powder tube with which the particles are injected into the Lavalduse are also disadvantageous. These turbulences are a hindrance to acceleration and have a poor quality effect. Furthermore, the production of a Laval nozzle, in which the high gas and particle speeds are achieved, is very complex and cost-intensive due to its smallest, narrow cross-section of only 1.5 to 3.5 mm in diameter.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art aufzuzeigen, welche die Injektion der Spritzpartikel unter Vermeidung der erwähnten Nachteile durchführt. Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass die Injektion der Spritzpartikel erst im divergenten Abschnitt der Lavalduse erfolgt. Das Verschieben der Injektionsstelle hin in einen Bereich, wo sich die Düse bereits wieder erweitert, bedeutet, dass die Injektion bei einem Druck stattfindet, der deutlich unter dem maximalen Aus- gangsdruck liegt, da in diesem Bereich bereits die Entspannung des Gases einsetzt. Der im Bereich des Düsenhalses einsetzende starke Druckabfall lässt es sogar zu, den Gaseintrittsdruck auf bis zu 6,3 MPa zu erhöhen. Wegen des Druckabfalls erleichtert sich das Injizieren der pulverförmigen Spritzpartikel wesentlich und aus den thermischen Spritzverfahren bekannte Technik kann verwendet werden. Insbesondere Konzeption und Betrieb des Pulverförderers vereinfachen sich und gängige Pulverförderer, die üblicherweise im Bereich bis zu 1 ,5 MPa arbeiten, können benutzt werden. Da im divergenten Teil der Lavalduse nicht nur der Druck absinkt, sondern auch die Temperatur des Gases abfällt, kann das Gas auf höhere Temperaturen vorgewärmt werden. Damit kann die Strömungsgeschwindigkeit des Gases erhöht werden. Die Spritzpartikel kommen jedoch erst mit dem "kalten" Gas in Berührung. Ein Anbacken der Partikel an die Düsenwand, wie es bei höheren Gaseintrittstemperaturen geschieht, ist damit unterbunden.The present invention is therefore based on the object of demonstrating a method and a device of the type mentioned at the outset which carry out the injection of the spray particles while avoiding the disadvantages mentioned. This object is achieved according to the invention in that the injection of the spray particles takes place only in the divergent section of the Lavalduse. Moving the injection site into an area where the nozzle is already expanding means that the injection takes place at a pressure that is significantly below the maximum initial pressure, since the gas is already depressurized in this area. The strong pressure drop in the area of the nozzle neck even allows the gas inlet pressure to be increased to up to 6.3 MPa. Because of the pressure drop, the injection of the powdered spray particles is made considerably easier and technology known from thermal spraying processes can be used. In particular, the design and operation of the powder conveyor are simplified and common powder conveyors, which usually work in the range up to 1.5 MPa, can be used. Since not only the pressure drops in the divergent part of the Lavalduse, but also the temperature of the gas drops, the gas can be preheated to higher temperatures. The gas flow rate can thus be increased. However, the spray particles only come into contact with the "cold" gas. This prevents caking of the particles on the nozzle wall, as happens at higher gas inlet temperatures.
In vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ergibt die Kombination der Formen, also die Außenkontur des Pulverrohrs zusammen mit der Innenkontur des äußeren Rohrs, in welchen das Gas strömt, eine Düse, die den Gesetzmäßigkeiten von de Laval gehorcht. Vorteilhafterweise wird das Pulverrohr dabei axial und zentrisch in dem äußeren Düsenkörper angebracht. Mit dieser Lavalduse kann das Verfahren des Kaltgas- spritzens vorteilhaft betrieben werden. Das vorgewärmte Gas wird auf Geschwindig- keiten von bis zu 3000m/s beschleunigt. Hohe Strömungsgeschwindigkeiten des Gases sind für hohe Partikelgeschwindigkeiten Voraussetzung. Der Kontakt der Partikel mit dem Gas erfolgt bei hohen Geschwindigkeiten und bei Temperaturen, bei welchen die Spritzpartikel nur aufgewärmt werden. Dadurch werden die angewärmten Spritzpartikel optimal beschleunigt, bevor sie auf das Werkstück treffen.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the combination of the shapes, that is to say the outer contour of the powder tube together with the inner contour of the outer tube into which the gas flows, results in a nozzle which obeys the laws of de Laval. The powder tube is advantageously attached axially and centrally in the outer nozzle body. The cold gas spraying process can be advantageously operated with this Lavalduse. The preheated gas is accelerated to speeds of up to 3000m / s. High gas flow velocities are a prerequisite for high particle velocities. The particles come into contact with the gas at high speeds and at temperatures at which the spray particles are only warmed up. As a result, the heated spray particles are optimally accelerated before they hit the workpiece.
In vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung erfolgt die Injektion der Spritzpartikel an einem Ort, der in dem Bereich zwischen einem Viertel und der Hälfte einer Strecke liegt, deren Anfangspunkt durch den Düsenhals und deren Endpunkt durch den Düsenaustritt festgelegt ist, wobei vom Düsenhals aus gemessen wird. Der Injektionsort für die Spritzpartikel ist vorteilhafterweise so gewählt ist, dass die Injektion der Spritzpartikel in dem divergenten Abschnitt der Lavalduse bei einem Druck von weniger als zwei Drittel des Ausgangsdrucks erfolgt. Damit ist eine einfache Spritzpartikelinjektion gewährleistet und gängige Pulverförderer können benutzt werden. Selbst eine Injektion der Spritzpartikel bei Drücken, die unterhalb des Normaldrucks liegen, ist möglich. Dies bedeutet, dass zur Injektion kein Druck aufgewendet werden muss, da die Spritzpartikel in den Gasstrahl eingezogen werden. Anderseits kann der Eintrittsdruck für das Gas deutlich höher gewählt werden als bei heute üblichen Kaltgasspritzen-Verfahren. Ein hoher Gaseintrittsdruck, der bei dem erf indungsgemäßen Verfahren bis zu 6,3 MPa, vorzugsweise zwischen 1,0 und 3,5 MPa, betragen kann, hat hohe Gasgeschwindigkeiten zur Folge und ermöglicht somit hohe Geschwindigkeiten für die Spritzpartikel.In an advantageous embodiment, the injection of the spray particles takes place at a location which is in the range between a quarter and half of a distance, the starting point of which is defined by the nozzle neck and the end point of which is determined by the nozzle outlet, measurement being carried out from the nozzle neck. The injection site for the spray particles is advantageously selected so that the injection of the spray particles takes place in the divergent section of the Lavalduse at a pressure of less than two thirds of the initial pressure. This ensures simple injection particle injection and common powder conveyors can be used. It is even possible to inject the spray particles at pressures that are below normal pressure. This means that no pressure has to be applied for the injection, since the spray particles are drawn into the gas jet. On the other hand, the inlet pressure for the gas can be selected to be significantly higher than in the cold gas spraying process customary today. A high gas inlet pressure, which in the process according to the invention can be up to 6.3 MPa, preferably between 1.0 and 3.5 MPa, results in high gas velocities and thus enables high velocities for the spray particles.
In einer vorteilhaften Variante der Erfindung hat der Gasdurchlass an der engsten Stel- le einen kreisringförmigen Querschnitt. Dieser wird nach innen begrenzt durch die äußere Kontur des Pulverrohrs und nach außen begrenzt durch die innere Kontur des Düsenrohrs. In diesem Gasdurchlass wird das Gas beschleunigt. Durch die Größe des Gasdurchlasses ist ferner der Gasverbrauch beim Kaltgasspritzen vorgegeben. Da der kreisringförmige Querschnitt ohne Probleme klein gewählt werden kann, ist das hier vorgeschlagene Verfahren wirtschaftlich anwendbar.In an advantageous variant of the invention, the gas passage at the narrowest point has an annular cross section. This is limited internally by the outer contour of the powder tube and externally by the inner contour of the nozzle tube. The gas is accelerated in this gas passage. The gas consumption during cold gas spraying is also predetermined by the size of the gas passage. Since the circular cross section can be selected to be small without problems, the method proposed here can be used economically.
Die erfindungsgemäße Kaltgasspritzeinrichtung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass das Pulverrohr innerhalb der Lavalduse im divergenten Abschnitt endet. Damit endet das Pulverrohr in einem Bereich, in welchem der Druck durch die einsetzende Gasbe- schleunigung bereits abfällt. Die Konstruktion des Pulverförderers vereinfacht sich damit wesentlich, da dieser nur für den niedrigeren Druck dimensioniert werden muss, der am Ende des Pulverrohrs herrscht. Die Lavalduse besteht nunmehr durch das Einbringen des Pulverrohrs in einen äußeren Düsenkörper erfindungsgemäß aus zwei Teilen, die gut zu fertigen sind. Der äußere Düsenkörper, dessen Innenseite bearbeitet werden muß, ist relativ groß und das Pulverrohr, das den zweiten Teil der Lavalduse bildet, ist nur an der Außenseite zu bearbeiten. Die erfindungsgemäße benötigte Lavalduse ist damit deutlich leichter als die bisher verwendeten Düsen zu fertigen, da insbesondere die Innenkontur einer Düse, wenn diese sehr eng ist, problematisch herzustellen ist. Dies ist von großem Vorteil, da die Düse beim Kaltgasspritzen großem Ver- schleiß unterliegt und deshalb regelmäßig ausgetauscht werden muß. Der Gas- verbrauch der erfindungsgemäßen Kaltgasspritzeinrichtung erhöht sich durch den größeren Querschnitt der Lavalduse nicht, da dieser über den engsten Abstand der Außenkante des Pulverrohrs und der Innenkontur des äußeren Düsenkörpers gegeben ist. Dies ist notwendig, da der Gasverbrauch, der bereits bei dem Stand der Technik entsprechendem Verfahren sehr hoch ist, nicht weiter gesteigert werden darf, um das hier vorgeschlagene Verfahren wirtschaftlich ausführen zu können. Auch werden qualitätsmindemde Verwirbelungen der Spritzpartikel, die am Austrittsort entstehen, durch eine solche Ausgestaltung der Lavalduse aus Pulverrohr und äußerem Düsenkörper unterbunden.The cold gas spray device according to the invention is characterized in that the powder tube ends in the divergent section within the Lavalduse. The powder tube thus ends in an area in which the pressure already drops due to the gas acceleration. The construction of the powder conveyor is simplified considerably since it only has to be dimensioned for the lower pressure that prevails at the end of the powder tube. Due to the introduction of the powder tube into an outer nozzle body, the Lavalduse now consists of two parts which are easy to manufacture. The outer nozzle body, the inside of which has to be machined, is relatively large and the powder tube, which forms the second part of the Lavalduse, can only be machined on the outside. The Lavalduse required according to the invention is thus significantly easier to manufacture than the hitherto used nozzles, since in particular the inner contour of a nozzle, if it is very narrow, is difficult to manufacture. This is of great advantage because the nozzle is subject to great wear during cold gas spraying and must therefore be replaced regularly. The gas Consumption of the cold gas spray device according to the invention does not increase due to the larger cross section of the Lavalduse, since this is given by the closest distance between the outer edge of the powder tube and the inner contour of the outer nozzle body. This is necessary because the gas consumption, which is already very high in the prior art process, must not be increased further in order to be able to carry out the process proposed here economically. Swirling of the spray particles, which arise at the point of discharge, which reduces quality is also prevented by such a configuration of the Lavalduse comprising the powder tube and the outer nozzle body.
In Weiterbildung der Erfindung ergeben die innere Form eines äußeren Düsenkörpers zusammen mit der äußeren Form eines koaxial in dem äußeren Düsenkörper angeordneten, in Spritzrichtung orientiertem Pulverrohrs eine Lavalduse. Das Pulverrohr ist dabei vorteilhafterweise axial und zentrisch im äußeren Düsenkörper angeordnet. Eine derartig gestaltete Lavalduse ist - im Vergleich zu den nach dem Stand der Technik benutzten Düsen - unproblematisch herzustellen, da durch die erfindungsgemäße Konstruktion die Innenkontur des äußeren Düsenkörpers und/oder die Außenseite des Pulverrohrs zu fertigen ist. Dies ist im Vergleich unproblematisch, da der äußere Düsenkörper im Verhältnis groß und damit relativ leicht anzufertigen ist und bei dem klei- nen Pulverrohr nur die einfach zu bearbeitende Außenfläche und nicht die Innenkontur zu bearbeiten ist.In a further development of the invention, the inner shape of an outer nozzle body together with the outer shape of a powder tube arranged coaxially in the outer nozzle body and oriented in the spraying direction result in a Laval nozzle. The powder tube is advantageously arranged axially and centrally in the outer nozzle body. Such a Lavalduse designed in this way - compared to the nozzles used according to the prior art - is unproblematic to produce, since the inner contour of the outer nozzle body and / or the outside of the powder tube can be produced by the construction according to the invention. This is not a problem in comparison, since the outer nozzle body is relatively large and therefore relatively easy to manufacture and, in the case of the small powder tube, only the outer surface, which is easy to machine, and not the inner contour can be machined.
In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist die Kaltgasspritzeinrichtung insbesondere derart gestaltet, dass die ringförmige Fläche für den Gasdurchlass, die durch den Abstand der Außenkontur des Pulverrohrs und der Innenkontur des äußeren Düsenkörpers bestimmt ist, an ihrer kleinsten Stelle eine Größe von 1 bis 30 mm2, vorzugsweise von 3 und 10 mm2, hat. Durch dieses Merkmal ist gewährleistet, dass der Gasverbrauch, der durch diese ringförmige Fläche gegeben ist, vergleichbar mit dem Gasverbrauch einer Kaltgasspritzeinrichtung nach dem Stand der Technik ist und auch die sonstige Funktion sich in günstiger Weise ergibt. Dies ist insbesondere deshalb notwendig, um die Wirtschaftlichkeit der Vorrichtung zu gewährleisten.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the cold gas spray device is in particular designed such that the annular surface for the gas passage, which is determined by the distance between the outer contour of the powder tube and the inner contour of the outer nozzle body, has a size of 1 to 30 mm 2 at its smallest point , preferably of 3 and 10 mm 2 . This feature ensures that the gas consumption, which is given by this annular surface, is comparable to the gas consumption of a cold gas spraying device according to the prior art and that the other function also results in a favorable manner. This is particularly necessary to ensure the economy of the device.
In Weiterbildung der Erfindung hat das innen befindliche Pulverrohr auf seiner Außenseite eine derart gestaltete Kontur, dass sich zusammen mit einer glatten, zylindrischen Innenkontur des äußeren Düsenkörpers eine Lavalduse ergibt. Alternativ ergibt sich eine Lavalduse aus einem innen befindliche Pulverrohr mit glatter zylindrischen Außenseite und außen liegendem Düsenkörper, der auf seiner Innenseite entsprechend geformt ist.In a further development of the invention, the inside of the powder tube has a contour designed on the outside such that a Laval nozzle results together with a smooth, cylindrical inner contour of the outer nozzle body. Alternatively, a Laval nozzle results from an inside powder tube with a smooth cylindrical outside and outside nozzle body, which is shaped accordingly on the inside.
Die Lavalduse wird in einer anderen Möglichkeit dadurch gebildet, dass die notwendige Kontur für die Lavalduse teilweise auf der Außenseite des Pulverrohres und teilweise auf der Innenseite des äußeren Düsenkörpers aufgebracht wird.In another possibility, the Lavalduse is formed by applying the necessary contour for the Lavalduse partly on the outside of the powder tube and partly on the inside of the outer nozzle body.
Das Öffnungsverhältnis der Lavalduse, d. h. das Verhältnis der Querschnittsfläche für den Gasdurchlass an der engsten Stelle zum Querschnitt am Austritt der Düse, liegt in einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung zwischen 1 : 2 und 1 : 25, vorzugsweise zwischen 1 : 5 und 1 : 11.The opening ratio of the Lavalduse, i.e. H. the ratio of the cross-sectional area for the gas passage at the narrowest point to the cross-section at the outlet of the nozzle is in an advantageous embodiment between 1: 2 and 1:25, preferably between 1: 5 and 1:11.
In einer bevorzugten Variante hat der äußere Düsenkörper im konvergenten Bereich einen kreisringförmigen Querschnitt, der im divergenten Bereich der Düse in einen rechteckigen Querschnitt übergeht. Mit Hilfe rechteckiger Formen werden schmale Bereiche und große Flächen vorteilhaft beschichtet.In a preferred variant, the outer nozzle body has an annular cross section in the convergent area, which merges into a rectangular cross section in the divergent area of the nozzle. Rectangular shapes are used to advantageously coat narrow areas and large areas.
Vorteilhafterweise besteht sowohl das Pulverrohr als auch der äußere Düsenkörper jeweils aus einem metallischen Werkstoff, einer Keramik oder einem Kunststoff.Advantageously, both the powder tube and the outer nozzle body each consist of a metallic material, a ceramic or a plastic.
Pulverrohr und Düsenkörper bestehen in vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung aus unterschiedlichen Materialien. In Frage kommen hierfür unterschiedliche Metalllegierungen, unter- schiedliche Keramiken, unterschiedliche Kunststoffe, oder eine Kombination davon, z. B. Metall/Keramik, Metall/Kunststoff, Kunststoff/Keramik. Vorzugsweise besteht der äußere Düsenkörper aus Metall, während das innenliegende Pulverrohr aus Keramik gefertigt ist.In an advantageous embodiment, the powder tube and nozzle body consist of different materials. Different metal alloys, different ceramics, different plastics, or a combination thereof, eg. B. metal / ceramic, metal / plastic, plastic / ceramic. The outer nozzle body is preferably made of metal, while the inner powder tube is made of ceramic.
Pulverrohr und/oder äußerer Düsenkörper sind in einer vorteilhaften Variante aus - in Strömungsrichtung betrachtet - zwei oder mehr Teilen zusammengefügt, bei denen das erste Teil den Bereich um den Düsenhals umfasst und sich ein zweites bis zum Düsenaustritt reichendes Teil daran anschließt. Dabei ist das zweite Teil leicht zu tauschen und wird hinsichtlich seiner Gestalt und Werkstoffwahl nach den Anforderun- gen der verschiedenen Spritzwerkstoffen ausgewählt. Die beiden eben genannten Teile bestehen dabei vorteilhafterweise aus unterschiedlichen Werkstoffen.In an advantageous variant, the powder tube and / or outer nozzle body are made up of two or more parts, as viewed in the direction of flow, in which the first part encompasses the area around the nozzle neck and is followed by a second part extending as far as the nozzle outlet. The second part is easy to replace and is selected in terms of its shape and choice of material according to the requirements of the different spraying materials. The two parts just mentioned advantageously consist of different materials.
Im folgendem soll die Erfindung anhand zweier schematisch dargestellten Beispiele näher erläutert werden:In the following, the invention will be explained in more detail using two schematically illustrated examples:
In Figur 1 ist eine erfindungsgemäße Kaltgasspritzeinrichtung gezeigt, in dessen Ausführung das Pulverrohr im divergenten Bereich des äußeren Düsenkörpers endet.FIG. 1 shows a cold gas spray device according to the invention, in its design the powder tube ends in the divergent area of the outer nozzle body.
In Figur 2 sind drei Varianten für die Ausgestaltung der Lavalduse aus Pulverrohr und äußerem Düsenkörper gezeigt.FIG. 2 shows three variants for the configuration of the Lavalduse from the powder tube and the outer nozzle body.
Die in Figur 1 schematisch gezeigte Kaltgasspritzeinrichtung umfasst ein zylindrisches Gehäuse 5 mit innenliegender Vorkammer 3, die ausgangsseitig eine Gasverteilblende 4 abschliesst, die wiederum mittig von einem Pulver(zufuhr)rohr 2 durchdrungen wird. An die Gasverteilungsblende 4 schließt sich ein äußerer Düsenkörper 1 an, wobei Blende 4 und Düse 1 mit einer Überwurfmutter 6 am Gehäuse 5 befestigt sind. Die Spritzrichtung der gezeigten Vorrichtung ist durch einen Pfeil 7 gekennzeichnet. Das Pulverrohr 2 ist axial und zentrisch im äußeren Düsenkörper 1 angeordnet. Das der Mittelachse des äußeren Düsenkörpers 1 folgende Pulverrohr 2, gehalten von der Blende 4, endet vom Gehäuse kommend hinter der engsten Stelle im divergenten Bereich des äußeren Düsenkörpers 1, wo der Gasdruck bereits beträchtlich im Vergleich zum Anfangsdruck abgefallen ist und üblicherweise lediglich die Hälfte dessen beträgt. Der hohe Anfangsdruck herrscht in der Vorkammer 3 und beträgt in heute üblichen Anwendungen häufig zwischen 1 und 3,5 MPa und kann durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung der Kaltgasspritzeinrichtung auf bis zu 6,3 MPa gesteigert werden.The cold gas spraying device shown schematically in FIG. 1 comprises a cylindrical housing 5 with an internal prechamber 3 which closes a gas distribution orifice 4 on the outlet side, which in turn is penetrated centrally by a powder (supply) tube 2. An outer nozzle body 1 connects to the gas distribution orifice 4, the orifice 4 and nozzle 1 being fastened to the housing 5 with a union nut 6. The direction of spraying of the device shown is indicated by an arrow 7. The powder tube 2 is arranged axially and centrally in the outer nozzle body 1. The powder tube 2 following the central axis of the outer nozzle body 1, held by the orifice 4, ends coming from the housing behind the narrowest point in the divergent area of the outer nozzle body 1, where the gas pressure has already dropped considerably compared to the initial pressure and usually only half of it is. The high initial pressure prevails in the prechamber 3 and is frequently between 1 and 3.5 MPa in current applications and can be increased to up to 6.3 MPa by the configuration of the cold gas spray device according to the invention.
Fig. 2 zeigt drei besonders vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen einer erfindungsgemäßenFig. 2 shows three particularly advantageous embodiments of an inventive
Kaltgasspritzeinrichtung wobei insbesondere Bezug auf die Gestaltung des Pulverrohrs 2 und des äußeren Düsenkörpers 1 genommen wird (Bezugsziffern wie in Fig. 1). In den Figuren 2a, b und c ist das Pulverrohr 2 jeweils von dem äußeren Düsenkörper 1 umgeben. Die Kombination der inneren Kontur des äußeren Düsenkörpers und der äußeren Form des Pulverrohrs ergeben eine Lavalduse. In Fig. 2a ergibt eine glatte, zylindrische Innenform des äußeren Düsenkörpers zusammen mit einer nach außen gewölbten Außenkontur des Pulverrohrs die Lavalduse. In Fig. 2b ist hingegen das Pulverrohr zylindrisch geformt und der äußere Düsenkörper in seiner Innenseite geschwungen. Düsenkörper und Pulverrohr sind in Fig. 2c derartig geschwungen, so dass sich die für die Lavalduse notwendige Kontur aus der Kombination der Formen der Außenseite des Pulverrohrs und der Innenseite des äußeren Düsenkörpers ergibt. Cold gas spray device, in particular reference being made to the design of the powder tube 2 and the outer nozzle body 1 (reference numbers as in FIG. 1). In FIGS. 2a, b and c, the powder tube 2 is surrounded by the outer nozzle body 1. The combination of the inner contour of the outer nozzle body and the outer shape of the powder tube results in a Lavalduse. 2a gives a smooth, cylindrical inner shape of the outer nozzle body together with an outwardly curved outer contour of the powder tube the Lavalduse. In contrast, in FIG. 2b the powder tube is cylindrical and the inside of the outer nozzle body is curved. 2c, the nozzle body and powder tube are curved in such a way that the contour required for the Lavalduse results from the combination of the shapes of the outside of the powder tube and the inside of the outer nozzle body.
