Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing a layer on a substrate.
- a coating material containing a solvent or dispersant, chemical precursors of a ceramic and absorber particles for energy radiation is applied to the substrate.
- the substrate provided with the coating material is subjected to a heat treatment in which the solvent or dispersant is evaporated and the chemical precursors are converted into the ceramic to form the layer, wherein the heat treatment comprises introducing an electromagnetic energy radiation from the absorber particles into heat is implemented.
- the absorber particles are therefore made of a material which is able to absorb the energy radiation.
- the energy radiation must provide an energy that can be absorbed by certain absorber materials and suitably selected to match the absorber particles used.
- electromagnetic radiation is used as energy radiation, for the selection of the material of the absorber particles are a wealth of materials for selection (more on this below), so that depending on the application, a suitable material to be produced layer system can be selected.
- the process of producing ceramic layers from chemical precursors of the ceramic is known per se.
- the chemical precursors of ceramics are materials which themselves do not belong to the group of ceramics but dissolve in solvents or disperse in dispersants. In this way, a liquid or paste is obtained, which can be applied to the substrate to be coated.
- a subsequent heat treatment serves to evaporate first the solvent or dispersion medium, whereby the layer can be solidified.
- a subsequent sintering treatment leads to the crosslinking of the precursors to the desired ceramic (pyrolysis).
- the heat input in the heat treatment is usually done in an oven in which the substrate is heated with the applied layer to the desired temperature.
- a heat input can also be made more targeted by, for example, particles of a UV light absorber such as titanium oxide or zinc oxide can be incorporated into the layer.
- the heat treatment can then take place by means of UV light irradiation or at least be supported.
- the object of the invention is to provide a method for producing a layer on a substrate by means of heat treatment of chemical precursors of a ceramic, which opens up a comparatively large scope for the adaptation of the layers to the required application and is economically applicable.
- the coating material with the absorber particles only for a part of the volume Layer is used as a first coating material and for the remainder of the volume of the layer at least one further coating material, containing a solvent or dispersion medium, and chemical precursors of a ceramic is used.
- several coating materials are used for the method according to the invention, which differ from each other at least with regard to the choice of absorber particles.
- the first coating material contains in each case a certain type of absorber particles, while the other coating material contains other absorber particles or the other coating materials at least partially contain other absorber particles than the first coating material.
- absorber particles according to the invention can be adapted specifically to the requirements of the method of a particular application.
- relatively thick layers can be produced in the manner shown, wherein the deeper layers in the vicinity of the substrate can be provided with absorber particles. If these layers are subsequently subjected to a conventional heat treatment in an oven, then the near-surface layers of the layer initially heat up, while the layers of the layers near the substrate would require a longer time for this purpose. In this area, however, the heat input can be accelerated by introducing an appropriate energy radiation to the absorber particles used, so that a homogeneous heating and implementation of the chemical precursors in the layer to the ceramic to be produced can be ensured. As a result, a thermal load of the substrate is advantageously reduced, the treatment time of the heat treatment is shortened and a formation of residual stresses in the layer is counteracted. In addition, an alternating application of Layer material and performing a heat treatment at higher film thicknesses are avoided. Thus, it is possible to produce layers of a higher quality as well as manufacturing costs and thus save costs.
- absorber particles By introducing absorber particles only into a specific part of the volume of the layer, it is advantageously also possible to produce layers in which ceramics are used which require different temperatures during the heat treatment.
- the ceramic in which the temperature is higher, can be provided with the absorber particles or alternatively be provided with a higher concentration of absorber particles, so that arise in the heat treatment in this area higher temperatures.
- the parts of the layer volume which contain different coating materials are preferably individual layers of a multilayer layer.
- the different partial volumes of the layer are formed by successively applying the different coating materials. In this way, dispersion layers can also be produced if, during the subsequent heat treatment of the layer, layer components diffuse and thus contribute to a concentration balance between the layers. This creates a concentration gradient that makes up the properties of the gradient layer.
- the partial volumes of the layer to be produced can also be distributed differently than in a sheet-like manner.
- layer areas with different tasks can be produced on the substrate.
- subregions of the layer with special properties such as electrical conductivity or wear resistance.
- absorber particles are also used in the further coating material or at least one of the further coating materials, this use being with regard to the concentration of absorber particles in the coating material and / or the chemical composition of the absorber particles and / or the mixing ratio differ from absorber particles of different types.
- the composition of the absorber particles can advantageously be used to be able to work with different types of energy radiation simultaneously or successively during the heat treatment. Each energy radiation can then be used to specifically influence the temperature in certain layer volumes. It is also possible with the aid of the absorber particles of different composition to use energy beams which have different specific penetration depths into the layer (more on that below).
- the concentration of absorber particles in the coating material determines the heat energy that can be converted by irradiation of the layer in the relevant layer. In this way, in particular the speed of heating can be influenced.
- By setting different mixing ratios of absorber particles of different types in a certain position it is also possible to use energy radiations of different types.
- a layer of a coating material with absorber particles for microwaves and overlying a layer of a coating material with absorber particles for IR and / or UV light is applied.
- the microwaves have a greater penetration depth into the layer as electromagnetic radiation than IR or UV light.
- a layer constructed in the specified manner can thus be heated by simultaneous irradiation with IR light or UV light and with microwaves, with a suitable choice of the concentration of absorber particles in the layers uniform heating of the layer results and the formation of a temperature gradient within the layer can be avoided during the heat treatment.
- the different energy radiations can also be used to heat the layers of the layer sequentially in a desired sequence.
- the energy radiations are used successively in a sequence and it can be achieved, for example, that first the layer on the substrate is converted into a ceramic and only then the overlying layers. This has a positive effect on the adhesion of the layer or the formation of residual stresses in the layer.
- the coating material is applied to the substrate with regions of different thickness and comparatively more absorber particles are used in the regions of greater thickness.
- layers which have a different thickness locally on the substrate can also be cured in a heat treatment step.
- the areas of greater layer thickness, which would promote a longer treatment time in conventional oven heating, are provided with the absorber particles such that they lead to an additional heat input into this area with the consequence of faster heating.
- the concentration of absorber particles can be adjusted so that the treatment time for the layer region of greater thickness is adapted to the treatment time of the regions of lesser thickness.
- absorber particles are also particularly advantageous in the case of large workpieces, since the introduction of heat during the heat treatment by the absorber particles can take place with greater homogeneity. This favors a uniform layer structure even if, for example, microwaves are introduced only locally into a specific region of the layer surface of the large-area workpiece and at the same time a support of the energy input by IR- or UV-sensitive absorber particles is supported.
- the coating of the substrate can be carried out by conventional methods, for example by spraying, knife coating, brushing, rolling or dipping.
- metal oxides or metal nitrides or else metal oxynitrides can preferably be produced.
- metal sulfides or oxysulfides can be prepared as layer materials (for example molybdenum disulfide or tungsten disulfide). Common precursors are thiocarboxylic acids, alkanethiols and carboxylic acids, which are mixed with the corresponding metal salts. The following materials are suitable for the absorber particles.

- alternating electromagnetic fields for example TiN, CuCr, ZrO, SiO, BO, AgCr, AuCr, CrCu, iron ferrites Fe 2 O 3 or Fe 3 O 4 , which by addition magnetized by nickel, zinc or manganese compounds.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Erzeugen einer Schicht auf einem Substrat. Nach diesem Verfahren wird auf das Substrat ein Beschichtungsstoff aufgetragen, der ein Lösungs- oder Dispersionsmittel, chemische Vorstufen einer Keramik und Absorberpartikel für eine Energiestrahlung enthält. Danach wird das mit dem Beschichtungsstoff versehene Substrat einer Wärmebehandlung unterworfen, bei der das Lösungs- oder Dispersionsmittel verdampft und die chemischen Vorstufen unter Ausbildung der Schicht in die Keramik umgewandelt werden, wobei die Wärmebehandlung das Einbringen einer elektromagnetischen Energiestrahlung umfasst, die von den Absorberpartikeln in Wärme umgesetzt wird. Die Absorberpartikel bestehen daher aus einem Material, welches die Energiestrahlung zu absorbieren vermag. Die Energiestrahlung muss eine Energie zur Verfügung stellen, welche sich von bestimmten Absorbermaterialien absorbieren lässt und in geeigneter Weise passend zu den verwendeten Absorberpartikeln gewählt werden. Als Energiestrahlung kommt insbesondere elektromagnetische Strahlung zum Einsatz, für die Auswahl des Materials der Absorberpartikel stehen eine Fülle von Materialien zur Auswahl (hierzu im Folgenden mehr), so dass in Abhängigkeit vom Anwendungsfall ein zum zu erzeugenden Schichtsystem passendes Material ausgewählt werden kann.The invention relates to a method for producing a layer on a substrate. According to this method, a coating material containing a solvent or dispersant, chemical precursors of a ceramic and absorber particles for energy radiation is applied to the substrate. Thereafter, the substrate provided with the coating material is subjected to a heat treatment in which the solvent or dispersant is evaporated and the chemical precursors are converted into the ceramic to form the layer, wherein the heat treatment comprises introducing an electromagnetic energy radiation from the absorber particles into heat is implemented. The absorber particles are therefore made of a material which is able to absorb the energy radiation.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung liegt darin, ein Verfahren zum Erzeugen einer Schicht auf einem Substrat mittels Wärmebehandlung von chemischen Vorstufen einer Keramik anzugeben, welches einen vergleichsweise großen Spielraum für die Anpassung der Schichten an den geforderten Anwendungsfall eröffnet und dabei wirtschaftlich anwendbar ist.The object of the invention is to provide a method for producing a layer on a substrate by means of heat treatment of chemical precursors of a ceramic, which opens up a comparatively large scope for the adaptation of the layers to the required application and is economically applicable.
Diese Aufgabe wird mit dem eingangs angegebenen Verfahren erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass der Beschichtungsstoff mit den Absorberpartikeln nur für einen Teil des Volumens der Schicht als erster Beschichtungsstoff verwendet wird und für den Rest des Volumens der Schicht mindestens ein weiterer Beschichtungsstoff, enthaltend ein Lösungs- oder Dispersionsmittel, und chemische Vorstufen einer Keramik verwendet wird. Mit anderen Worten kommen für das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren mehrere Beschichtungsstoffe zum Einsatz, die sich zumindest hinsichtlich der Wahl der Absorberpartikel voneinander unterscheiden. Der erste Beschichtungsstoff enthält in jedem Fall eine bestimmte Art von Absorberpartikeln, während der weitere Beschichtungsstoff andere Absorberpartikel oder die weiteren Beschichtungsstoffe zumindest teilweise andere Absorberpartikel als der erste Beschichtungsstoff enthält bzw. enthalten.This object is achieved with the method given above according to the invention that the coating material with the absorber particles only for a part of the volume Layer is used as a first coating material and for the remainder of the volume of the layer at least one further coating material, containing a solvent or dispersion medium, and chemical precursors of a ceramic is used. In other words, several coating materials are used for the method according to the invention, which differ from each other at least with regard to the choice of absorber particles. The first coating material contains in each case a certain type of absorber particles, while the other coating material contains other absorber particles or the other coating materials at least partially contain other absorber particles than the first coating material.
Der Vorteil der erfindungsgemäßen Verwendung von Absorberpartikeln liegt darin, dass diese gezielt an die Anforderungen des Verfahrens eines bestimmten Anwendungsfalles angepasst werden können.The advantage of the use of absorber particles according to the invention is that they can be adapted specifically to the requirements of the method of a particular application.
Zum Beispiel lassen sich in der dargestellten Weise verhältnismäßig dicke Schichten erzeugen, wobei die tieferen Lagen in der Nähe des Substrates mit Absorberpartikeln versehen werden können. Werden diese Schichten anschließend einer konventionellen Wärmebehandlung in einem Ofen unterworfen, so erwärmen sich zunächst die oberflächennahen Lagen der Schicht, während die substratnahen Lagen der Schichten hierfür eine längere Zeit benötigen würden. In diesem Bereich kann der Wärmeeintrag jedoch durch Einbringen einer zu den verwendeten Absorberpartikeln passenden Energiestrahlung beschleunigt werden, so dass eine homogene Erwärmung und Umsetzung der chemischen Vorstufen in der Schicht zu der zu erzeugenden Keramik gewährleistet werden kann. Hierdurch wird vorteilhaft eine thermische Belastung des Substrates vermindert, die Behandlungszeit der Wärmebehandlung verkürzt und eine Ausbildung von Eigenspannungen in der Schicht entgegengewirkt. Außerdem kann ein abwechselndes Aufbringen von Schichtmaterial und Durchführen einer Wärmebehandlung bei größeren Schichtdicken vermieden werden. Es lassen sich also sowohl Schichten einer höheren Qualität herstellen als auch Fertigungsaufwand und damit Kosten einsparen.For example, relatively thick layers can be produced in the manner shown, wherein the deeper layers in the vicinity of the substrate can be provided with absorber particles. If these layers are subsequently subjected to a conventional heat treatment in an oven, then the near-surface layers of the layer initially heat up, while the layers of the layers near the substrate would require a longer time for this purpose. In this area, however, the heat input can be accelerated by introducing an appropriate energy radiation to the absorber particles used, so that a homogeneous heating and implementation of the chemical precursors in the layer to the ceramic to be produced can be ensured. As a result, a thermal load of the substrate is advantageously reduced, the treatment time of the heat treatment is shortened and a formation of residual stresses in the layer is counteracted. In addition, an alternating application of Layer material and performing a heat treatment at higher film thicknesses are avoided. Thus, it is possible to produce layers of a higher quality as well as manufacturing costs and thus save costs.
Durch Einbringen von Absorberpartikeln nur in einen bestimmten Teil des Volumens der Schicht lassen sich vorteilhaft auch Schichten herstellen, in denen Keramiken zum Einsatz kommen, welche unterschiedliche Temperaturen bei der Wärmebehandlung erfordern. Die Keramik, bei der die Temperatur höher liegt, kann mit den Absorberpartikeln versehen werden oder alternativ mit einer höheren Konzentration an Absorberpartikeln versehen werden, so dass bei der Wärmebehandlung in diesem Bereich höhere Temperaturen entstehen.By introducing absorber particles only into a specific part of the volume of the layer, it is advantageously also possible to produce layers in which ceramics are used which require different temperatures during the heat treatment. The ceramic, in which the temperature is higher, can be provided with the absorber particles or alternatively be provided with a higher concentration of absorber particles, so that arise in the heat treatment in this area higher temperatures.
Vorzugsweise sind die Teile des Schichtvolumens, welche unterschiedliche Beschichtungsstoffe enthalten, einzelne Lagen einer Multilayer-Schicht. Die unterschiedlichen Teilvolumina der Schicht entstehen dadurch, dass nacheinander die unterschiedlichen Beschichtungsstoffe aufgebracht werden. Auf diesem Wege lassen sich auch Dispersionsschichten erzeugen, wenn bei der nachfolgenden Wärmebehandlung der Schicht Schichtbestandteile diffundieren und so zu einem Konzentrationsausgleich zwischen den Lagen beitragen. Hierdurch entsteht ein Konzentrationsgradient, der die Eigenschaften der Gradientenschicht ausmacht.The parts of the layer volume which contain different coating materials are preferably individual layers of a multilayer layer. The different partial volumes of the layer are formed by successively applying the different coating materials. In this way, dispersion layers can also be produced if, during the subsequent heat treatment of the layer, layer components diffuse and thus contribute to a concentration balance between the layers. This creates a concentration gradient that makes up the properties of the gradient layer.
Die Teilvolumina der zu erzeugenden Schicht können jedoch auch anders als lagenartig verteilt sein. Beispielsweise können auf dem Substrat Schichtbereiche mit unterschiedlichen Aufgaben erzeugt werden. So ist es beispielsweise denkbar, Teilbereiche der Schicht mit besonderen Eigenschaften wie elektrische Leitfähigkeit oder Verschleißwiderstand zu erzeugen.However, the partial volumes of the layer to be produced can also be distributed differently than in a sheet-like manner. For example, layer areas with different tasks can be produced on the substrate. For example, it is conceivable to produce subregions of the layer with special properties such as electrical conductivity or wear resistance.
Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens ist vorgesehen, dass auch in dem weiteren Beschichtungsstoff oder mindestens einem der weiteren Beschichtungsstoffe Absorberpartikel verwendet werden, wobei sich diese Verwendung hinsichtlich der Konzentration an Absorberpartikeln im Beschichtungsstoff und/oder der chemischen Zusammensetzung der Absorberpartikel und/oder des Mischungsverhältnisses von Absorberpartikeln unterschiedlicher Art unterscheiden. Die Zusammensetzung der Absorberpartikel kann vorteilhaft dazu genutzt werden, mit unterschiedlichen Arten von Energiestrahlung gleichzeitig oder nacheinander bei der Wärmebehandlung arbeiten zu können. Jede Energiestrahlung kann dann zur gezielten Beeinflussung der Temperatur in bestimmten Schichtvolumina Verwendung finden. Auch können mit Hilfe der Absorberpartikel unterschiedlicher Zusammensetzung Energiestrahlen verwendet werden, die unterschiedliche spezifische Eindringtiefen in die Schicht aufweisen (hierzu im Folgenden mehr). Die Konzentration an Absorberpartikeln im Beschichtungsstoff bestimmt an Wärmeenergie, die durch Bestrahlung der Schicht in der betreffenden Lage umgesetzt werden kann. Hierdurch kann insbesondere die Geschwindigkeit der Erwärmung beeinflusst werden. Durch Einstellen unterschiedlicher Mischungsverhältnisse von Absorberpartikeln unterschiedlicher Art in einer bestimmten Lage lassen sich auch Energiestrahlungen unterschiedlicher Art nutzen.According to an advantageous embodiment of the method according to the invention, it is provided that absorber particles are also used in the further coating material or at least one of the further coating materials, this use being with regard to the concentration of absorber particles in the coating material and / or the chemical composition of the absorber particles and / or the mixing ratio differ from absorber particles of different types. The composition of the absorber particles can advantageously be used to be able to work with different types of energy radiation simultaneously or successively during the heat treatment. Each energy radiation can then be used to specifically influence the temperature in certain layer volumes. It is also possible with the aid of the absorber particles of different composition to use energy beams which have different specific penetration depths into the layer (more on that below). The concentration of absorber particles in the coating material determines the heat energy that can be converted by irradiation of the layer in the relevant layer. In this way, in particular the speed of heating can be influenced. By setting different mixing ratios of absorber particles of different types in a certain position, it is also possible to use energy radiations of different types.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn eine Lage aus einem Beschichtungsstoff mit Absorberpartikeln für Mikrowellen und darüberliegend eine Lage aus einem Beschichtungsstoff mit Absorberpartikeln für IR- und/oder UV-Licht aufgetragen wird. Hierbei macht man sich den Umstand zunutze, dass die Mikrowellen als elektromagnetische Strahlung eine größere Eindringtiefe in die Schicht aufweisen, als IR- oder UV-Licht.It is particularly advantageous if a layer of a coating material with absorber particles for microwaves and overlying a layer of a coating material with absorber particles for IR and / or UV light is applied. In this case, one makes use of the fact that the microwaves have a greater penetration depth into the layer as electromagnetic radiation than IR or UV light.
Eine in der angegebenen Art aufgebaute Schicht kann also durch gleichzeitige Bestrahlung mit IR-Licht oder UV-Licht und mit Mikrowellen erwärmt werden, wobei sich bei geeigneter Wahl der Konzentration an Absorberpartikeln in den Lagen eine gleichmäßige Erwärmung der Schicht ergibt und die Ausbildung eines Temperaturgradienten innerhalb der Schicht während der Wärmebehandlung vermieden werden kann.A layer constructed in the specified manner can thus be heated by simultaneous irradiation with IR light or UV light and with microwaves, with a suitable choice of the concentration of absorber particles in the layers uniform heating of the layer results and the formation of a temperature gradient within the layer can be avoided during the heat treatment.
Vorteilhaft können die unterschiedlichen Energiestrahlungen aber auch verwendet werden, um die Lagen der Schicht in einer gewünschten Abfolge nacheinander zu erwärmen. Dafür werden die Energiestrahlungen in einer Abfolge nacheinander verwendet und es kann beispielsweise erreicht werden, dass zunächst die Lage auf dem Substrat in eine Keramik umgewandelt wird und erst anschließend die darüberliegenden Lagen. Dies wirkt sich positiv auf die Haftung der Schicht bzw. die Ausbildung von Eigenspannungen in der Schicht aus.Advantageously, however, the different energy radiations can also be used to heat the layers of the layer sequentially in a desired sequence. For this purpose, the energy radiations are used successively in a sequence and it can be achieved, for example, that first the layer on the substrate is converted into a ceramic and only then the overlying layers. This has a positive effect on the adhesion of the layer or the formation of residual stresses in the layer.
Vorteilhaft kann auch vorgesehen werden dass der Beschichtungsstoff auf dem Substrat mit Regionen unterschiedlicher Dicke aufgebracht wird und in den Regionen größerer Dicke vergleichsweise mehr Absorberpartikel verwendet werden. Hierdurch kann vorteilhafterweise erreicht werden, dass auch Schichten, die lokal eine unterschiedliche Dicke auf dem Substrat haben, in einem Wärmebehandlungsschritt ausgehärtet werden können. Die Bereiche größerer Schichtdicke, welche bei konventioneller Erwärmung im Ofen eine längere Behandlungszeit erfördern würden, werden derart mit den Absorberpartikeln versehen, dass diese für einen zusätzlichen Wärmeeintrag in diesen Bereich mit der Konsequenz einer schnelleren Erwärmung führen. Die Konzentration an Absorberpartikeln kann so eingestellt werden, dass die Behandlungszeit für den Schichtbereich größerer Dicke an die Behandlungszeit der Bereiche geringerer Dicke angepasst ist.Advantageously, it can also be provided that the coating material is applied to the substrate with regions of different thickness and comparatively more absorber particles are used in the regions of greater thickness. As a result, it can advantageously be achieved that layers which have a different thickness locally on the substrate can also be cured in a heat treatment step. The areas of greater layer thickness, which would promote a longer treatment time in conventional oven heating, are provided with the absorber particles such that they lead to an additional heat input into this area with the consequence of faster heating. The concentration of absorber particles can be adjusted so that the treatment time for the layer region of greater thickness is adapted to the treatment time of the regions of lesser thickness.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist die Einbringung von Absorberpartikeln auch bei großflächigen Werkstücken, da das Einbringen von Wärme bei der Wärmebehandlung durch die Absorberpartikel mit einer größeren Homogenität erfolgen kann. Dies begünstigt einen gleichmäßigen Schichtaufbau auch dann, wenn beispielsweise Mikrowellen nur lokal in einen bestimmten Bereich der Schichtoberfläche des großflächigen Werkstückes eingebracht werden und gleichzeitig eine Unterstützung der Energieeinbringung durch IR- oder UV-empfindliche Absorberpartikel unterstützt wird.The introduction of absorber particles is also particularly advantageous in the case of large workpieces, since the introduction of heat during the heat treatment by the absorber particles can take place with greater homogeneity. This favors a uniform layer structure even if, for example, microwaves are introduced only locally into a specific region of the layer surface of the large-area workpiece and at the same time a support of the energy input by IR- or UV-sensitive absorber particles is supported.
Die Beschichtung des Substrates kann nach gebräuchlichen Methoden erfolgen, beispielsweise durch Spritzen, Rakeln, Streichen, Rollen oder Tauchen. Als Keramiken können bevorzugt Metalloxide oder Metallnitride oder auch Metalloxinitride hergestellt werden. Weiterhin sind Metallsulfide oder -oxisulfide als Schichtmaterialien herstellbar (beispielsweise Molybdändisulfid oder Wolfamdisulfid). Gebräuchliche Vorstufen sind Thiocarbonsäuren, Alkanthiole und Carbonsäuren, die mit den entsprechenden Metallsalzen gemischt werden. Für die Absorberpartikel kommen folgende Materialien in Frage.The coating of the substrate can be carried out by conventional methods, for example by spraying, knife coating, brushing, rolling or dipping. As ceramics, metal oxides or metal nitrides or else metal oxynitrides can preferably be produced. Furthermore, metal sulfides or oxysulfides can be prepared as layer materials (for example molybdenum disulfide or tungsten disulfide). Common precursors are thiocarboxylic acids, alkanethiols and carboxylic acids, which are mixed with the corresponding metal salts. The following materials are suitable for the absorber particles.
Erfolgt die Energiezufuhr durch eine Lichtquelle (IR- oder UV- Strahler), so kommen allgemein alle Absorbermaterialien in Frage, bei denen die Photonen bestimmter Energie Atome oder Moleküle des Absorbers anregen. Je nach erforderlicher Temperatur der Wärmebehandlung (Pyrolyse) und eventuell geforderter Zersetzung der lichtabsorbierenden Partikel werden Absorberpartikel anorganischer und/oder organischer Natur verwendet. Beispiele für anorganische Absorber sind die Metalloxide Titandioxid; Zinkoxid, Siliziumdioxid, Zinndioxid oder Kupferoxid. Als organische IR- Absorber seien die verschiedenen Phthalo-, Naphthalo- und Carbocyanine, Polymethine, sowie Methylenchlorid erwähnt.If the energy is supplied by a light source (IR or UV radiator), then generally all absorber materials in question, in which the photons of certain energy atoms or molecules of the absorber excite. Depending on the required temperature of the heat treatment (pyrolysis) and possibly required decomposition of the light-absorbing particles, absorber particles of inorganic and / or organic nature are used. Examples of inorganic absorbers are the metal oxides titanium dioxide; Zinc oxide, silicon dioxide, tin dioxide or copper oxide. As organic IR absorbers are the various Phthalo-, naphthalo- and carbocyanines, polymethines, and methylene chloride mentioned.
Zur Einkopplung von Mikrowellen werden Absorber gewählt, deren Moleküle Dipolmomente aufweisen und auf elektromagnetische Wechselfelder reagieren (zum Beispiel TiN, CuCr, ZrO, SiO, BO, AgCr, AuCr, CrCu, Eisenferrite Fe2O3 oder Fe3O4, die durch Zusatz von Nickel, Zink oder Mangan- Verbindungen magnetisiert werden).For the coupling of microwaves, absorbers are selected whose molecules have dipole moments and react to alternating electromagnetic fields (for example TiN, CuCr, ZrO, SiO, BO, AgCr, AuCr, CrCu, iron ferrites Fe 2 O 3 or Fe 3 O 4 , which by addition magnetized by nickel, zinc or manganese compounds).
Die verwendeten Absorberpartikel haben charakterischisch Anregungsfrequenzen, die bei der Auslegung der Anregungs-Energiequellen berücksichtigt werden müssen. Typischen Anregungsfrequenzen einiger Absorber für die Mikrowellenstrahlung sind in folgender Tabelle aufgeführt.
Absorber, deren Atome oder Moleküle sowohl durch Photonen als auch durch elektromagnetische Wechselfelder angeregt werden, sind ebenfalls einsetzbar (zum Beispiel synthetisches Eisen-Mangan-Mischoxid (Fe, Mn)2O3 erhältlich als Bayferrox ® 303 T bei der Firma Lanxess Deutschland GmbH).Absorbers, whose atoms or molecules are excited by both photons and electromagnetic alternating fields, can also be used (for example, synthetic iron manganese mixed oxide (Fe, Mn) 2 O 3 available as Bayferrox ® 303 T from the company Lanxess Germany GmbH) ,
Im Beschichtungsstoff können simultan die Basisbestandteile sowohl als Mikrowellen-Absorber (zum Beispiel Essigsäure bei 5 GHz oder Propionsäure bei 2,5 GHz als Lösungs- oder Verdünnungsmittel) oder als IR-Absorber (Zusätze von metallorganischen Verbindungen als Karboxylate, Alkoxide oder Gemische davon, zum Beispiel Titan-2-ethylhexanoat, Zink-2-ethylhexanoat, die bei der pyrolytischen Zersetzung "in situ" die entsprechenden Metalloxide bilden) fungieren und die chemische Umwandlung in einen keramischen Beschichtungswerkstoff beschleunigen. Im Fall von Zirkonoxid steht ein Mirkowellen-Absorber zur Verfügung, der bei der Pyrolyse aus Zirkon-2-ethylhexanoat und Propionsäure entsteht und dann die Gesamtreaktion beschleunigt und gleichzeitig einen Teil des Beschichtungswerkstoffes bildet. Eisenoxid, das als IR-Absorber und als Mikrowellen-Absorber wirken kann, lässt sich ebenfalls aus Eisen-2-ethylhexanoat und Propionsäure bei der pyrolytischen Zersetzung während der Wärmebehandlung herstellen.In the coating material, the base components can be used both as a microwave absorber (for example acetic acid at 5 GHz or propionic acid at 2.5 GHz as a solvent or diluent) or as an IR absorber (additions of organometallic Compounds such as carboxylates, alkoxides, or mixtures thereof, for example, titanium 2-ethylhexanoate, zinc 2-ethylhexanoate, which form the corresponding metal oxides in situ in pyrolytic decomposition), and accelerate chemical conversion to a ceramic coating material. In the case of zirconia, a microwave absorber is available, which is formed by pyrolysis of zirconium 2-ethylhexanoate and propionic acid and then accelerates the overall reaction while forming part of the coating material. Iron oxide, which can act as an IR absorber and as a microwave absorber, can also be prepared from iron 2-ethylhexanoate and propionic acid during pyrolytic decomposition during the heat treatment.
Die Absorber können sowohl als Mikro- als auch als Nanoteilchen in den Precursorlösungen eingesetzt werden. Eine unterstützende Zugabe in Form von Suspensionen und Dispersionen geeigneter Absorber ist ebenfalls möglich.The absorbers can be used both as microparticles and as nanoparticles in the precursor solutions. A supporting addition in the form of suspensions and dispersions of suitable absorbers is also possible.
Je nach Schichtaufbau werden diese lichtabsorbierenden Partikel in der gesamten Schicht oder in einzelnen Lagen zugegeben.Depending on the layer structure, these light-absorbing particles are added in the entire layer or in individual layers.
Vor allem großflächig beschichtete Werkstücke können nun ohne spezielle Techniken mit einem Lichtfeld (IR, UV) bestrahlt werden. Durch die Energieeinkopplung, die mit Hilfe der Absorberpartikel stattfindet, entsteht in der Precursorschicht die notwendige Reaktionsenergie. Dadurch erfolgt die notwendige chemische Umwandlung des Precursors zu einer keramischen Schicht. Als Adsorber bei höheren Pyrolysetemperaturen > 350 °C lassen sich vorwiegend anorganische Substanzen einsetzen, zum Beispiel Zinkoxid. Aluminiumoxid, Titandioxid, Siliziumdioxid, Kupferoxid, synthetisches Eisenoxid Fe3O4, synthetisches Eisen-Mangan-Mischoxid (Fe, Mn)2O3, Zinndioxid in undotierter oder dotierter Form. Zum Beispiel ist antimondotiertes Zinndioxid als IR-Absorber unter der Produktbezeichnung Minatec® 230 A- IR bei der Firma Merck kommerziell erhältlich. Die sythethischen Eisenoxide sind unter dem Produktname Bayferrox® 306 und Bayoxide® E 8611, sowie das synthetische Eisen- Mangan-Mischoxid unter der Bezeichnung Bayferrox® 303 T bei der Firma Lanxess Deutschland GmbH erhältlich.Primarily coated workpieces can now be irradiated with a light field (IR, UV) without special techniques. Due to the energy coupling, which takes place with the help of the absorber particles, the necessary reaction energy is produced in the precursor layer. This results in the necessary chemical conversion of the precursor to a ceramic layer. As an adsorber at higher pyrolysis temperatures> 350 ° C can be used predominantly inorganic substances, for example zinc oxide. Alumina, titania, silica, copper oxide, synthetic iron oxide Fe 3 O 4 , synthetic Iron-manganese mixed oxide (Fe, Mn) 2 O 3 , tin dioxide in undoped or doped form. For example, antimony-doped tin dioxide as an IR-absorber under the product Minatec ® 230 A-IR from Merck is commercially available. The sythethischen iron oxides are available under the product name Bayferrox ® 306 and Bayoxide ® E 8611, as well as the synthetic iron manganese oxide under the name Bayferrox ® 303 T at the company Lanxess Germany GmbH.
Beschichtungsstoffe (Precursoren), bei denen eine Pyrolse < 300 °C erfolgen kann, können auch IR-Absorber organischer Beschaffenheit zugemischt werden. Als organische Absorber können verschiedene Phthalo- und Naphthalocyanine, Carbocyanine, Polymethine, sowie Methylenchlorid werden.Coating materials (precursors) in which a pyrolysis <300 ° C can also be added to IR absorbers of organic nature. As organic absorbers, various phthalo- and naphthalocyanines, carbocyanines, polymethines, and methylene chloride can be.

Je nach Konzentration des Absorbers lässt sich die erforderliche Temperatur für die chemische Umwandlung des Precursors einstellen.Depending on the concentration of the absorber, the required temperature for the chemical conversion of the precursor can be set.
Die Herstellung von Metalloxiden und -nitriden, die aus Vorstufen (Precursor), aus organischen und/oder anorganischen Lösungen, Dispersionen und Suspensionen bestehen, ist allgemein bekannt.The preparation of metal oxides and nitrides, which consist of precursors, of organic and / or inorganic solutions, dispersions and suspensions, is well known.
Folgende Ausführungsbeispiele zeigen Möglichkeiten für den Aufbau von Schichten nach dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren auf:The following exemplary embodiments show possibilities for the construction of layers by the method according to the invention:
Die Beschichtungsstoffe werden vorbereitet für eine Multilayer-Schicht, bestehend aus drei Lagen a, b, und c.The coating materials are prepared for a multilayer layer consisting of three layers a, b, and c.
Dabei enthält der Teilprecursor für die erste Lage a auf dem Substrat Partikel, die Mikrowellenstrahlen absorbieren.In this case, the partial precursor for the first layer a on the substrate contains particles which absorb microwave radiation.
Dem Teilprecursor für die zweite Schicht b werden lichtabsorbierende Partikel (Absorberpartikel) zugesetzt. Durch den simultanen Einsatz von Lichtfeld (UV- oder IR- Strahler) und Mikrowelle erfolgt ein Energieeintrag in die Zwischenschichten, da der Precursor ausgehend von der inneren zur äußeren Schicht erwärmt wird. Durch einen gezielten Einbau der Absorber-Partikel sowohl zur verstärkten Einkopplung von IR- oder UV- Strahlen und Mikrowellen kann eine Erwärmung des Beschichtungsstoffes (Precursors) bei der chemischen Umwandlung von innen (nahe dem Substrat) nach außen (nahe der Oberfläche) bis zu einer Schichtdicke in den cm-Bereich erfolgen.The partial precursor for the second layer b is added with light-absorbing particles (absorber particles). Due to the simultaneous use of light field (UV or IR radiator) and microwave energy is introduced into the intermediate layers, since the precursor is heated from the inner to the outer layer. By a selective incorporation of the absorber particles both for increased coupling of IR or UV rays and microwaves can be a heating of the coating material (precursor) in the chemical conversion from the inside (near the substrate) to the outside (near the surface) to a Layer thickness in the cm range.
Die Beschichtungsstoffe (Precursor) werden vorbereitet für eine Multilayer-Schicht bestehend aus drei Lagen a, b und c. Dabei enthält der Teilprecursor für die erste Lage a auf dem Substrat lichtabsorbierende Partikel (Absorberpartikel). Durch die Bestrahlung mit dem Lichtfeld erfolgt der Energieeintrag in die Zwischenlage b, da der Precursor ausgehend von der inneren zur äußeren Schicht erwärmt wird. Durch einen gezielten Einbau der Absorber-Partikel kann eine gleichmäßige Erwärmung des Precursors bei der chemischen Umwandlung von innen nach außen erfolgen.The coating materials (precursor) are prepared for a multilayer layer consisting of three layers a, b and c. In this case, the partial precursor for the first layer a contains light-absorbing particles (absorber particles) on the substrate. As a result of the irradiation with the light field, the energy is introduced into the intermediate layer b, since the precursor is heated starting from the inner to the outer layer. Through a targeted installation of the absorber particles, a uniform heating of the precursor during the chemical conversion from the inside to the outside can take place.
Einem Beschichtungsstoff (Precursor) für eine Schicht werden die lichtabsorbierenden Partikel (Absorberpartikel) zugemischt, jedoch nur in Bereichen mit erhöhter Schichtdicke. Mit diesem Precursor wird die Innenseite eines Rohres beschichtet. Die Bereiche erhöhter Schichtdicke liegen in Rohrabschnitten mit erhöhter Rohrreibung (zum Beispiel Rohrkrümmungen). Anschließend wird durch eine Infrarot- und Heizsonde bestrahlt. Dadurch erfolgt die chemische Umwandlung des Precursors zu einer keramischen Schutzschicht, wobei die Behandlungsdauer in den Bereichen erhöhter Schichtdicke wegen der zusätzlichen Aktivierung der lichtabsorbierenden Partikel genauso lang sein kann wie in den dünneren Bereichen. Deswegen kann die Sonde ohne Berücksichtigung des einzelnen Bereiches mit konstanter Geschwindigkeit das Rohr durchlaufen.A coating material (precursor) for a layer, the light-absorbing particles (absorber particles) are admixed, but only in areas with increased thickness. This precursor is used to coat the inside of a tube. The areas of increased layer thickness are in pipe sections with increased pipe friction (for example pipe bends). Subsequently, it is irradiated by an infrared and heating probe. This results in the chemical conversion of the precursor to a ceramic protective layer, wherein the treatment time in the areas of increased layer thickness due to the additional activation of the light-absorbing particles can be as long as in the thinner areas. Therefore, the probe can pass through the tube without consideration of the single area at a constant speed.
