Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a component comprising an aluminum and lithium alloy coated with a ceramic coating. As well as the process for forming the coating.
  • Aluminum alloys containing lithium have interesting properties. Among them we can mention their lightness compared to other conventional aluminum alloys. Indeed, lithium is the lightest of the metallic elements and, for each 1% of lithium added to the aluminum alloy makes it possible to reduce by 3% the density of the aluminum and to increase by 5% its elastic modulus . This type of alloy also has a high resistance to fatigue and corrosion, thus extending the life of the product. These alloys are 100% recyclable. Aluminum alloys containing lithium find their applications in the fields of aeronautics, aerospace and the military.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a coated component free from the limitations of known components.
  • a component comprising an aluminum alloy comprising between 0.1 and 10% by weight of lithium, characterized in that said component is treated using a process of oxidation by micro-arc plasma to obtain a ceramic coating on the surface of the aluminum alloy.
  • the invention also relates to a method for growing a ceramic coating on the surface of the component, the process being a plasma micro-arc oxidation process and comprising the steps of immersing the component to be coated in an electrolytic bath composed of an aqueous solution of alkali metal hydroxide, the component forming one of the electrodes; and applying an alternating current having a frequency of between 10 Hz to 10,000 Hz, so as to apply a voltage between the component and another electrode varying between 0 V and a value between 100 V and 1000 V.
  • This solution has the advantage over the prior art of providing a component having a high hardness, excellent resistance to wear, impact, and corrosion.
  • micro-arc plasma The oxidation process by micro-arc plasma is also a technology so the environmental impact is low, especially in view of conventional anodizing techniques so acidic baths are strongly discouraged for the protection of the environment.
  • a component 1 comprises an aluminum alloy comprising between 0.1 and 10% by weight of lithium.
  • the component is treated using a plasma micro-arc oxidation process (also known as “micro-arc oxidation” and acronym “MAO") so as to obtain a ceramic coating 2 on the surface of the aluminum alloy.
  • a plasma micro-arc oxidation process also known as "micro-arc oxidation” and acronym “MAO”
  • the aluminum alloy containing lithium may be one of the commercial alloys available on the market.
  • the aluminum-lithium alloy may include any of the alloys listed in Table 1.
  • the first line gives the name of the alloy and the left column the element as well as the content of the element in% by weight in the successive columns.
  • Such an aluminum-lithium alloy will therefore contain up to 2.45% by weight of lithium, more particularly between 0.88 and 2.45% by weight of lithium.
  • the figure 1 illustrates an arrangement of an installation, in which a tank 3 contains an electrolytic bath 4. Inside the electrolyte 4 plunges a counter-electrode, or cathode, and an anode which corresponds to the component 1 to be coated. To the figure 1 are equally represented a power supply block 6 able to generate an alternating current 31.
  • the micro-arc plasma oxidation process comprises the steps of immersing the component 1 to be coated in the electrolyte 4 and of passing the alternating current 31 so as to apply a voltage between the component 1 and the cathode 5.
  • the electrolyte 4 may comprise an aqueous solution of alkali metal hydroxide, such as potassium or sodium, and an oxyacid salt of an alkali metal.
  • the electrolyte 4 is typically maintained at a temperature between 10 ° C and 55 ° C.
  • the applied current comprises positive and negative current pulses alternating with a frequency of between 10 Hz and 10,000 Hz.
  • the amplitude of the current pulses is between 2 and 200 A / dm 2 so as to apply a voltage between the component 1 and the cathode 5 of the order of 100 V to 1000 V. Indeed, a voltage of 100 and 1000V makes it possible to create an electrolytic plasma necessary for the formation of the coating 2 on the component 1.
  • the current pulses are separated by a dead time where no current is applied.
  • the duration of the dead time is preferably about 10% of the total duration of the current pulse.
  • the duration of the dead time is such that the voltage drops to zero.
  • each of the positive and negative current pulses may have a maximum amplitude followed by a decrease of the current to a zero value.
  • the duration of the pulse where the value of the current is zero is about 10% of the total duration of the current pulse.
  • the voltage must drop to zero, that is to say that the voltage is cycled between a base voltage (baseline) and a ceiling voltage, or ceiling (ceiling line).
  • the minimum base voltage is preferably adjusted to a voltage of between 0 and 99.9% of the maximum peak of the ceiling voltage.
  • the base voltage (for example 30% of the ceiling voltage) will promote the formation of micro-arcs emission visible to the naked eye, while a larger base voltage (for example 60% of the voltage ceiling), will promote the creation of a continuous plasma, also visible to the naked eye (relative to the retinal perception of 0.1 to 0.2 seconds).
  • the influence of the choice of the basic minimum average voltages with respect to the maximum voltage and thus the type of micro-arcs obtained thus makes it possible to master a more or less dense and homogeneous layer.
  • the densification of the layer is also subject to the frequency of alternation between the anode and cathode currents. Indeed in the first case the growth of the nanoporous layer will be realized whereas in the second case the densification of the nanoporosities will operate.
  • the growth rate of the coating 1 depends on the type of frequency and the shape of the pulse, in particular the passage between a cathodic and anodic current (and vice versa) and the current amplitude (and therefore the applied voltage) .

In the figure 2 , the excess thickness of the coating 2 is represented by the difference in thickness between the initial surface 8 and the upper surface of the layer 22.
  • the coating 1 formed by the plasma micro-arc oxidation process on the aluminum-lithium alloy component has a high hardness, close to 2000 Hv. It also has excellent resistance to wear, shock, corrosion.
  • the coating 1 is of color corresponding to the natural color of the oxidized aluminum. For example, the coating 1 is dark brown in the case of the aluminum-lithium alloy 2050 (see Table 1).
  • the oxidation process may comprise a preliminary step of preparing the surface 8 of the component 1.
  • This preparation step may comprise the cleaning and degreasing of the surface 8, for example with boiling water or with an alkaline cleaning agent such as a PARCO cleaner solution (product of Henkel Surface Technologies division of Henkel Corporation, Madison Heights, Michigan).
