Definitions

  • the invention relates to conversion-layer-free components of vacuum pumps made of valve metals and their alloys.
  • DE 101 63 864 A1 relates to a process for coating articles of valve metals or their alloys with a thin barrier layer of the metal and oxide ceramic layer thereon, the surface of which is coated with fluoropolymers, characterized in that the fluoropolymers in the form of a solution are impregnated by vacuum impregnation into the capillary system Insert oxide ceramic layer and dried after removing the non-wetting solution components.
  • the group of valve metals aluminum, magnesium, titanium, niobium or zirconium and their alloys.
  • this document also defines other components of vacuum pumps made of valve metals, such as rotors and stators of turbomolecular pumps.
  • pure aluminum and AlMn alloys AlMnCu; AlMg 1 ; AlMg 1.5 ; E-AlMgSi; AlMgSi 0.5 ; AlZnMgCu 0.5 ; AlZnMgCu 1.5 ; G-AlSi 1.2 ; G-AlSi 5 MW; G-AlSi 8 Cu 3 ; G-AlCu 4 Ti; G-AlCu 4 TiMg understood.
  • the magnesium casting alloys of the ASTM designations AS41, AM60, AZ61, AZ63, AZ81 are also suitable for the purposes of the invention.
  • the oxide ceramic layer is formed essentially by a conversion layer of the surface of the component, so that here virtually a portion of the substrate material is removed and converted into the oxidation barrier layer.
  • EP 1 818 428 A1 For example, there is known a method of electrolytic ceramic coating for metal and an electrolyte for use in electrolytic ceramic coating of metals and metallic materials.
  • EP 1 050 606 A1 discloses a method of making hard protective coatings on particles made from aluminum alloys.
  • WO 2005/014892 A2 describes a method for producing a coating on a plastic component of a vacuum pump.
  • a metallic layer is applied to the component and the coating electrolytic plasma oxidation of the metallic layer.
  • valve metal objects in particular components of vacuum pumps with an oxide ceramic layer formed from the metal, which has a thin barrier layer as an interface to the metal, provided with a further polymeric coating, which is formed on the basis of parylenes.
  • DE 10 2005 040 648 A1 also describes the composition of this surface coating and an application method.
  • WO 03/029529 A1 WO 2006/047501 A2 and WO 2006/047526 A2 describe the production of an article with a corrosion, heat and abrasion resistant ceramic coating of titanium and / or zirconia applied by the DC or AC anodization on the aluminum and / or titanium article.
  • the objects underlying this prior art are not defined further. Also, no information on the chemical resistance, in particular the resistance to citric acid or hydrochloric and / or Flußsääuredämpfe present.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide conversion-layer-free components of vacuum pumps made of valve metals and their alloys, which in addition to corrosion, heat and abrasion resistance have a galvanically generated conversion coating coating, which is also resistant to chemicals, especially resistant to citric acid or hydrochloric acid vapors. This is particularly important in the manufacture of components of vacuum pumps that come in contact with aggressive gases, such as HCl and / or HF vapor / gas, especially in the vacuum range.
  • the solution of the above object consists in a first embodiment of conversion-free components of vacuum pumps made of valve metals and their alloys, which is characterized in that the surface of a galvanically produced coating of at least one oxide and / or an oxifluoride of an element of the group consisting of boron, germanium , Aluminum, magnesium, titanium, niobium, hafnium and / or zirconium and mixtures thereof and / or an oxifluoride of the group consisting of Aluminum, titanium and / or zirconium has a layer thickness in the range of 5 to 50 microns.
  • the solution of the abovementioned object utilizes contoured covering of surfaces, as is possible with known conversion layers such as KEPLA-Coat® or anodization layers.
  • conversion layers such as KEPLA-Coat® or anodization layers.
  • the deposited layers can have a hardness of about 700 HV.
  • Components according to the invention of vacuum pumps made of valve metals and their alloys include, in particular, rotors, stators, stator disk halves, threaded steps, housings and bearing shells.
  • valve metals is in accordance with the prior art here for metals of the group aluminum, magnesium, titanium, niobium and / or zirconium and their alloys.
  • the special alloys of aluminum, magnesium and titanium mentioned in the introduction to the description are also particularly preferred for the purposes of the present invention.
  • At least one oxide and / or oxifluorides of the group consisting of aluminum, titanium and / or zirconium are particularly preferably selected.
  • an embodiment of the present invention is that the thickness of the surface coating is 5 to 50 ⁇ m. Particularly preferred according to the present invention, the thickness of the surface coating is 15 to 30 microns. If the thickness of the surface coating is chosen to be too thin, adequate protection against corrosion, heat, abrasion and chemicals is not guaranteed. If, however, the thickness of the surface coating chosen too large, so appropriate coatings tend to flake off. In addition, correspondingly thick layers are uneconomical.
  • a sample plate of AlMgSi 1 with the dimensions of 100 x 50 x 1.5 mm was at 400 volts for 5 minutes in a WO 03/029529 .
  • WO 2006/047501 A2 and WO 2006/047526 A2 electrolytes coated anodically over a period of 5 minutes. The determined layer thickness was about 10 ⁇ m.
  • a sample sheet as described in Example 2 was coated analogously within 10 minutes.
  • the determined layer thickness was about 12 ⁇ m.
  • test panels coated according to Examples 1 and 2 were exposed to a hydrochloric acid atmosphere which forms over an initial charge of 15% strength by weight hydrochloric acid master.
  • the oxide ceramic layer on the sample plates was examined for detachment after 144 h and after 300 h of the test period. The oxide ceramic layer on the sample plates was intact after this exposure time.
  • test panels coated according to Examples 1 and 2 were exposed to citric acid solutions at concentrations of 2%, 3.5% and 5%.
  • the oxide ceramic layer on the sample plates was after 90h trial period for deletions examined.
