Description

Technical area

The present invention relates to a cold gas spraying nozzle according to the preamble of claim 1.

State of the art

Cold gas spraying is a coating process in which a powdered coating material is applied to a carrier material at very high speed. For this purpose, the powder particles are injected into a gas jet of heated process gas, wherein the gas jet was previously accelerated to supersonic speed by expansion in a mostly laval-like shaped nozzle.

The injected spray particles are accelerated by injection into the gas jet to such a high speed that, in contrast to other thermal spray processes, they form a dense and firmly adhering layer upon impact with the substrate even without prior melting or melting.

Nozzles for cold gas spraying are produced from metal, from metal alloys, from light metal, for example from aluminum, or from hard material, for example from tungsten carbide. Both full nozzles and split nozzles, for example nozzles composed of two half-shells, can be used for cold gas spraying.

Devices for cold gas spraying are in the prior art, for example, from the publications DE 100 15 920 A1 . DE 102 07 525 A1 . EP 1 369 498 A1 . EP 1 506 816 A1 . EP 1 629 899 A1 . WO 03/041868 A2 or WO 2006/034778 A1 known.

Here, the cold gas spraying nozzle may be formed of different materials. For example, in the document DE 102 07 519 A1 discloses a ceramic formed nozzle insert used in the region of the narrowest cross section of the cold gas spray nozzle to achieve a high wear resistance of the cold gas spray nozzle from the prior art.

Injection of low-melting materials, for example of aluminum or of zinc (and their alloys), there are various caking in the nozzle, which leads to significant disturbances of the injection process. From the publication EP 1 462 546 B1 (German translation: DE 60 2004 000 936 T2 In the prior art, a cold gas spray nozzle is known in which at least the non-converging region of polybenzimidazole (PBI) is formed to prevent clogging of the nozzle when using low-melting powder particles.

Polybenzimidazole has the formula poly (2,2 '- (m-phenylene) -5,5'-bibenzimidazole) and is commercially available under the trade name Celazole. Polybenzimidazole is particularly suitable for use in a cold gas spray nozzle because of its very high temperature resistance. Thus, polybenzimidazole allows for continuous use temperatures in excess of about 310 degrees Celsius. Furthermore, polybenzimidazole has a high and almost constant over a wide temperature range mechanical strength.

A cold gas spray nozzle in which the converging section is detachably connected to the non-converging section in the area of the smallest diameter describes the document JP 2005 095 886 A from the prior art. Such a detachable connection offers, for example, the advantage that when the nozzle neck is worn, it is not necessary to replace the entire nozzle. Further, depending on the application and desired gas velocity, a non-convergent section may be used with any divergence angle.

Furthermore, from the document WO 03/041868 A2 Known from the prior art, a cold gas spray nozzle having at least two parts in the flow direction, wherein the second. Part is easily replaceable. These two parts can be made of different materials, such as metallic material, ceramic and / or plastic.

Cold gas spray nozzle turbulence of the gas flow in the area of the smallest diameter occur.

Presentation of the present invention: object, solution, advantages

Based on the disadvantages and inadequacies set out above and in appreciation of the outlined prior art, the present invention has the object, a cold gas spray nozzle of the type mentioned in such a way that clogging of the cold gas spray nozzle is reliably prevented with spray particles, the cold gas spray nozzle yet easy and is inexpensive to produce and no turbulence of the gas flow occur.

This object is achieved by a cold gas spraying nozzle having the features specified in claim 1. Advantageous embodiments and expedient developments of the present invention are characterized in the dependent claims.

Thus, the present invention is based on the fact that the cold gas spraying nozzle has at least one offset in the region of the smallest diameter, in particular at least one course of the inner diameter which is stepped in the direction of flow. Thus, the smallest diameter of the converging portion differs from the smallest diameter of the non-converging portion.

This slight displacement of the convergent section to the non-convergent section serves to avoid swirling of the gas and spray particles. Such turbulences are disadvantageous because this reduces the velocity of the gas or the spray particles and thus the application energy of the spray particles.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the present invention, the Converging portion and the non-converging portion be connected by means of at least one connecting element. In this embodiment differs

• the diameter of the part of the connecting element facing the convergent section is the diameter of the part of the convergent section facing the connecting element and / or
• the diameter of the part of the connecting element facing the non-converging portion is the diameter of the part of the non-converging portion facing the connecting element.

made of at least one heat-resistant plastic.

This heat-resistant plastic advantageously has a melting point above about 250 degrees Celsius, for example above about 300 degrees Celsius, in particular above about 400 degrees Celsius.

• Polyetheretherketon (PEEK) mit einer Schmelztemperatur von 335 Grad Celsius und/oder
• Polyetherketonketon (PEKK) mit einem Schmelzpunkt von 391 Grad Celsius eingesetzt werden.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention may be as a heat-resistant plastic, for example, polybenzimidazole (PBI) and / or at least one high-temperature resistant thermoplastic material from the group of polyether ketones (PEK), in particular

• Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) with a melting temperature of 335 degrees Celsius and / or
• Polyether ketone ketone (PEKK) can be used with a melting point of 391 degrees Celsius.

Polyether ketones have high mechanical strength, stiffness and creep resistance over a wide temperature range; Nevertheless, polyether ketones are relatively simple workable, for example by machining. Another advantage of polyether ketones is their inherent flame retardancy and very little smoke in case of fire. Furthermore, polyether ketones have excellent wear resistance and good sliding properties. Caking of the spray particles is thus prevented in a reliable manner.

• eine hohe mechanische Festigkeit, Härte, Steifigkeit und Zähigkeit,
• ein hohes mechanisches Dämpfungsvermögen,
• eine gute Ermüdungsfestigkeit,
• eine sehr hohe Verschleißfestigkeit,
• gute Gleit- und Notlaufeigenschaften,
• eine gute Bearbeitbarkeit, insbesondere mittels Spanen, sowie
• eine gute Temperaturbeständigkeit.

Alternatively or in addition to polyether ketone, the heat-resistant plastic may also be substantially of polyimide (PI); central properties of polyimide sold, for example, by DuPont under the tradename Vespel

• high mechanical strength, hardness, rigidity and toughness,
• a high mechanical damping capacity,
• a good fatigue resistance,
• a very high wear resistance,
• good sliding and emergency running properties,
• a good machinability, especially by means of cutting, as well
• a good temperature resistance.

Polyimide can be used in a temperature range between absolute zero and in the short term to well above about 400 degrees Celsius. Here, the thermal and electrical conductivity of polyimide is very low. Further, polyimide has a relatively low coefficient of thermal expansion and a good dimensional stability for a plastic, and thus enables the production of components with close tolerances. Another advantage is the fact that the properties of polyimide, for example, by adding graphite or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) can be selectively changed.

As an alternative or in addition to the aforementioned plastics, the heat-resistant plastic of the cold gas spraying nozzle according to the present invention can also be formed from polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).

Polytetrafluoroethylene, colloquially also known under the trade name Teflon, is particularly advantageous because it has a very low coefficient of friction. There is almost no material adhering to polytetrafluoroethylene because the surface tension of polytetrafluoroethylene is extremely low. A baking of In the gas jet injected spray particles on the inner wall of the cold gas spray nozzle is prevented by a lining with polytetrafluoroethylene in a particularly reliable manner. Further, polytetrafluoroethylene has a very good workability.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the present invention, the polytetrafluoroethylene has calcium fluoride, more particularly a content range of from about fifteen percent by weight calcium fluoride to about fifty percent by weight calcium fluoride, for example a content of about 25 percent by weight calcium fluoride or about forty percent by weight calcium fluoride.

As an alternative or in addition to the above-mentioned plastics, according to the present invention, the heat-resistant plastic may further be formed essentially of fiber-reinforced plastic, in particular of glass fiber reinforced and / or carbon fiber reinforced and / or carbon fiber reinforced plastic; this offers the advantage of less deformability.

Fiber-plastic composites generally have high specific strengths and stiffnesses. Here, the mechanical and thermal properties of fiber-plastic composites can be adjusted via a variety of parameters. Further, in addition to the fiber-matrix combination, for example, the fiber angle, the fiber volume ratio and / or the layer order can be varied and thus a particularly easy workability can be achieved.

As an alternative or in addition to the aforementioned plastics, according to the present invention, the heat-resistant plastic may finally be formed essentially of MICA.

By means of the aforementioned heat-resistant plastics, a nozzle with the offset according to the invention is particularly easy to produce, and this nozzle is also very durable.

The present invention further relates to a cold gas spray gun with at least one cold gas spray nozzle according to the type set forth above.

• either at the transition region of the converging section 20 to the non-converging section 30 (see FIG. Fig. 1, Fig. 2 . Fig. 4A, Fig. 4B . Fig. 4C ) or
• at the transition region of the convergent section 20 to a connecting element 40 (see. Fig. 3 ) and or
• at the transition region of the connecting element 40 to the non-converging section 30 (cf. Fig. 3 )

be educated.

• der Durchmesser des dem konvergierenden Abschnitt 20 zugewandten Teils 42 des Verbindungselements 40 größer als der Durchmesser des dem Verbindungselement 40 zugewandten Teils 22 des konvergierenden Abschnitts 20 und
• der Durchmesser des dem nicht-konvergierenden Abschnitt 30 zugewandten Teils 44 des Verbindungselements 40 kleiner als der Durchmesser des dem Verbindungselement 40 zugewandten Teils 32 des nicht-konvergierenden Abschnitts 30.

So is the case Fig. 3 illustrated embodiment

• the diameter of the converging portion 20 facing part 42 of the connecting element 40 is greater than the diameter of the connecting element 40 facing part 22 of the converging portion 20 and
• the diameter of the non-converging portion 30 facing portion 44 of the connecting element 40 is smaller than the diameter of the connecting element 40 facing part 32 of the non-converging portion 30th

At the in Fig. 1 to Fig. 4C Thus, the embodiments illustrated in FIG. 1 differ in that the smallest diameter of the converging section 20 or the converging section 20 facing part 42 of the connecting element 40 of the smallest diameter of the non-converging portion 30 or non-converging portion 30 facing portion 44 of the connecting member 40th

In order to prevent clogging of the nozzle 100 with spray particles, in particular when using low-melting material, for example aluminum, the cold gas spray nozzle 100 is formed in the region 10 of the smallest diameter of heat-resistant plastic.

It is thus possible for the convergent section 20, the non-converging section 30 and / or at least one connecting element 40 to differ in the material.

• der konvergierende Abschnitt 20 zumindest im mit dem Gas und mit den Spritzpartikeln in Kontakt gelangenden Bereich zumindest überwiegend aus mindestens einem Material gebildet, das einen Schmelzpunkt von über etwa 300 Grad Celsius, insbesondere von über etwa 600 Grad Celsius, beispielsweise von über etwa 1.500 Grad Celsius, aufweist und
• der nicht-konvergierende Abschnitt 30 und/oder das Verbindungselement (40) zumindest im mit dem Gas und mit den Spritzpartikeln in Kontakt gelangenden Bereich zumindest überwiegend aus mindestens einem Material gebildet sind, das einen Schmelzpunkt von über etwa 250 Grad Celsius, insbesondere von über etwa 400 Grad Celsius, aufweist.

This is advantageous

• the convergent portion 20 is formed, at least in the region in contact with the gas and the spray particles, at least predominantly of at least one material having a melting point above about 300 degrees Celsius, more preferably above about 600 degrees Celsius, for example above about 1500 degrees Celsius , and
• the non-converging section 30 and / or the connecting element (40) are at least predominantly formed of at least one material, at least in the area in contact with the gas and the spray particles, having a melting point above about 250 degrees Celsius, in particular above about 400 degrees Celsius, has.

• der konvergierende Abschnitt 20 überwiegend aus Metall und/oder überwiegend aus mindestens einer Metalllegierung und/oder überwiegend aus mindestens einem Hartstoff, beispielsweise aus Wolframcarbid, und
• der nicht-konvergierende Abschnitt 30 und/oder das Verbindungselement 40 überwiegend aus dem hitzebeständigen Kunststoff

gebildet sein.For example, as in Fig. 2 and in 4B shown,

• the convergent section 20 predominantly of metal and / or predominantly of at least one metal alloy and / or predominantly of at least one hard material, for example of tungsten carbide, and
• the non-converging portion 30 and / or the connecting member 40 mainly made of the heat-resistant plastic

be formed.

In such a partial production of the nozzle according to the invention from the corresponding heat-resistant plastic, the part made of plastic advantageously begins in the region 10 of the thinnest cross section of the nozzle, so that the region in which the gas expands, is made of plastic.

In a split-fabricated embodiment of the cold gas spray nozzle 100 'or 100 "" (see. Fig. 2 respectively. Fig. 4B ), in which the first segment, ie the converging section 20, is formed of metal, of at least one metal alloy, of carbide, of oxide and / or of at least one hard material, can be operated at higher gas temperatures than with a cold gas spraying nozzle made entirely of plastic become.

The temperature of the gas fed into the cold gas spraying nozzle 100 'or 100 "" can be selected arbitrarily high, because at the narrowest cross section 10 of the nozzle 100' or 100 "", ie at the expansion location, the gas suddenly becomes cold. Even if the cold gas spray nozzle is fed with 600 degrees Celsius hot gas, the gas temperature at the point where the heat resistant plastic starts is less than 300 degrees Celsius.

Since the gas velocity within the cold gas spraying nozzle depends on the temperature of the gas fed into the cold gas spraying nozzle, it is particularly advantageous if the cold gas spraying nozzle 100 'or 100 "" can be supplied with gas having a temperature of over 310 degrees Celsius, in particular above 600 degrees Celsius, for example, of over about 1,500 degrees Celsius, has. In this way, higher gas velocities and thus also higher particle speeds can be achieved, which in turn leads to more efficiency and better layers.

As in the fourth embodiment of the cold gas spray nozzle 100 "'in Fig. 4A however, the entire nozzle, that is to say the convergent section 20, the non-converging section 30 and / or the connecting element 40, may also be formed from the heat-resistant plastic. Here, the nozzle can be built from two half-shells or a full-size nozzle.

• aus mindestens einem Kunststoff aus der Gruppe der Polyetherketone (PEK) und/oder
• aus Polyimid (PI) und/oder
• aus Polytetrafluorethylen (PTFE) und/oder
• aus faserverstärktem Kunststoff und/oder

The heat-resistant plastic consists essentially

• from at least one plastic from the group of polyether ketones (PEK) and / or
• of polyimide (PI) and / or
• made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and / or
• made of fiber-reinforced plastic and / or
• from MICA.

As in Fig. 1 , in Fig. 2 and in Fig. 4A 1, the non-converging portion 30 of the cold gas spraying nozzle may be diverging in the flow direction S. This helps to accelerate the gas.

However, non-converging portion 30 may also be hollow cylindrical or substantially hollow cylindrical, such as in the third embodiment of cold gas spray nozzle 100 ".

Particularly advantageously, the convergent section 20 is releasably connected to the non-convergent section 30 in the region 10 of the smallest diameter. This is in Fig. 1 , in Fig. 2 and in Fig. 3 illustrated by a vertical dashed line.

• unmittelbar (vgl. Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 4A, Fig. 4B, Fig. 4C) oder

Fig. 4A, Fig. 4C) ist beispielsweise der konvergierende Abschnitt 20 unmittelbar über eine Schraub- oder Klemmverbindung 40 mit dem nicht-konvergierenden Abschnitt 30 verbunden.Here, the converging portion 20 may be connected to the non-converging portion 30

• directly (cf. Fig. 1, Fig. 2 . Fig. 4A, Fig. 4B . Fig. 4C ) or
• indirectly (cf. Fig. 3 ) about that, for example, as a bridging part or as a transition piece

trained connecting element 40 can be screwed and / or clamped. In the fourth embodiment of the cold gas spray nozzle 100 "'(see. Fig. 4A . Fig. 4C ) is for example the converging portion 20 is directly connected to the non-converging portion 30 via a screw or clamp connection 40.
