Description

L'invention est relative à un procédé de protection d'un substrat métallique revêtu par procédé HVOF.The invention relates to a method of protecting a metal substrate coated by HVOF process.

ARRIERE PLAN DE L'INVENTIONBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Depuis quelques années, et notamment dans le secteur aéronautique, les revêtements par dépôt de chrome dur sont progressivement remplacés par des dépôts d'un mélange pulvérulent WC-Co-Cr (le mélange pulvérulent contient du Carbure de tungstène, du Cobalt et du Chrome) par procédé HVOF (pour high velocity oxy-fuel). Par HVOF on entend un procédé de projection utilisant une combustion d'un combustible à l'aide d'un comburant afin de générer des gaz, ces gaz permettant d'éjecter le mélange pulvérulent sur un substrat à des vitesses et températures suffisamment élevées pour que le mélange pulvérulent projeté s'accroche sur ce substrat et y forme une couche de revêtement.In recent years, and particularly in the aeronautics sector, hard chrome deposition coatings are gradually being replaced by deposits of a WC-Co-Cr powder mixture (the powder mixture contains tungsten carbide, cobalt and chromium). by HVOF process (for high velocity oxy-fuel). By HVOF is meant a projection method using a combustion of a fuel with the aid of an oxidant to generate gases, these gases making it possible to eject the powder mixture on a substrate at speeds and temperatures sufficiently high that the sprayed powder mixture clings to this substrate and forms a coating layer thereon.

En général, les couches de revêtement ainsi déposées sont réputées très denses, et il est usuel d'améliorer les qualités de frottement d'une pièce mécanique ainsi revêtue par graissage. La graisse est appliquée par exemple lors de l'insertion de la pièce dans le mécanisme dans lequel elle doit prendre place et dans lequel elle est susceptible d'entrer en contact avec une autre pièce lors d'un déplacement relatif. Bien entendu, la couche de WC-Co-Cr a été préalablement usinée (par exemple par rectification) pour donner à la pièce ainsi revêtue la cote désirée.In general, the coating layers thus deposited are known to be very dense, and it is usual to improve the frictional qualities of a mechanical part thus coated by greasing. The grease is applied for example during the insertion of the piece in the mechanism in which it must take place and in which it is likely to come into contact with another piece during a relative movement. Of course, the WC-Co-Cr layer was previously machined (for example by grinding) to give the part thus coated the desired dimension.

Cependant, au cours du fonctionnement du mécanisme, la graisse peut disparaître du contact, et provoquer une modification brutale des conditions de frottement entre les deux pièces consécutive au frottement nu, entraînant à la fois une chute de qualités de glissement des pièces, et une usure accélérée. La solution classique est un graissage à fréquence suffisante pour éviter la disparition totale de la graisse. Cependant, il peut exister des circonstances (oubli du graissage, utilisation particulièrement intense au-delà de ce qui a été prévu) qui font que la disparition du graissage n'est pas impossible. JP-A-2002 194523 propose une couche WC-Co-Cr HVOF imprégnée avec un polymère pour améliorer la lubrification.However, during the operation of the mechanism, the grease can disappear from the contact, and cause abrupt modification of the friction conditions between the two parts due to bare friction, resulting in both a drop in sliding qualities of the parts, and wear accelerated. The classic solution is a lubrication at sufficient frequency to prevent the total disappearance of the fat. However, there may be circumstances (omission of lubrication, especially intense use beyond what has been expected) that make the disappearance of lubrication is not impossible. JP-A-2002 194523 offers a WC-Co-Cr HVOF layer impregnated with a polymer to improve lubrication.

OBJET DE L'INVENTIONOBJECT OF THE INVENTION

L'invention a pour objet protéger un substrat métallique revêtu par procédé HVOF d'un revêtement, préférentiellement un revêtement de type WC-Co-Cr, pour éviter le risque de frottement nu.The object of the invention is to protect a HVOF coated metal substrate with a coating, preferably a WC-Co-Cr coating, to avoid the risk of naked friction.

RESUME DE L'INVENTIONSUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

En vue de la réalisation de ce but, on propose un procédé de protection d'un substrat métallique revêtu par procédé HVOF d'un revêtement préférentiellement de type WC-Co-Cr, comprenant l'application sur le revêtement d'un agent lubrifiant qui comprend de particules de lubrifiant solide incorporées dans un fluide ayant une tension superficielle suffisamment basse pour pénétrer dans des pores du revêtement et y entraîner les particules de lubrifiant solide.With a view to achieving this object, there is provided a method of protecting a HVOF-coated metal substrate with a preferentially WC-Co-Cr type coating, comprising the application on the coating of a lubricating agent which comprises solid lubricant particles incorporated into a fluid having a sufficiently low surface tension to penetrate pores of the coating and entrain the solid lubricant particles therein.

En effet, les inventeurs se sont aperçus que les revêtements déposés par procédé HVOF et en particulier les revêtements de type de type WC-Co-Cr, bien que très denses, présentent une porosité interconnectée importante, pouvant dépasser 15%, avec une taille de pores très petite (typiquement de l'ordre de 350 nanomètres). L'existence de tels pores est jusqu'à présent passée inaperçue, car des pores aussi petits ne sont généralement pas détectés par les méthodes de mesure de porosité par analyse d'images à des grossissements de x200 à x400 habituellement utilisées dans l'industrie. Cependant, de tels pores peuvent être mis en évidence par porosimétrie mercure, qui permet également de mettre en évidence une connectivité des pores importante.Indeed, the inventors have found that HVOF-deposited coatings and in particular type WC-Co-Cr-type coatings, although very dense, have a large interconnected porosity, which can exceed 15%, with a size of very small pores (typically of the order of 350 nanometers). The existence of such pores has hitherto gone unnoticed, since such small pores are generally not detected by porosity measurement methods by image analysis at x200 to x400 magnifications commonly used in industry. However, such pores can be evidenced by mercury porosimetry, which also makes it possible to demonstrate significant pore connectivity.

Dès lors, en choisissant un agent lubrifiant dont le fluide présente une tension superficielle suffisamment faible induisant une action capillaire suffisante pour s'infiltrer dans les porosités et fissures du revêtement, on introduit dans l'épaisseur même du revêtement le lubrifiant solide, qui se répartit dans l'épaisseur du revêtement du fait de la connectivité très élevée des pores.Therefore, by choosing a lubricating agent whose fluid has a sufficiently low surface tension inducing a capillary action sufficient to infiltrate the pores and cracks of the coating, is introduced into the thickness of the coating solid lubricant, which is distributed in the thickness of the coating due to the very high connectivity of the pores.

On crée ainsi une surface autolubrifiante dont le lubrifiant solide se libère et exerce son pouvoir lubrifiant au fur et à mesure de l'usure du revêtement, sans qu'il soit besoin de relubrifier.This creates a self-lubricating surface whose solid lubricant is released and exerts its lubricating power as and when the wear of the coating, without the need to relubricate.

Idéalement, l'application de l'agent lubrifiant contenant les particules de lubrifiant est réalisée dans un environnement mis en dépression, sous vide ou mis en surpression par rapport à la pression atmosphérique. Lors de l'application de l'agent lubrifiant, on peut aussi faire varier la pression entre une pression basse, telle qu'un vide d'air et une pression haute de l'environnement. On cherche ici à faciliter la pénétration du lubrifiant dans les pores pour correctement imprégner les revêtements déposés.Ideally, the application of the lubricating agent containing the lubricant particles is carried out in an environment under vacuum, vacuum or overpressure with respect to atmospheric pressure. When applying the lubricating agent, it is also possible to vary the pressure between a low pressure, such as an air vacuum and a high pressure of the environment. We seek here to facilitate the penetration of the lubricant into the pores to properly impregnate the deposited coatings.

Idéalement, après application de l'agent lubrifiant et une fois que du lubrifiant s'est introduit dans le réseau de pores ouverts interconnectés du revêtement, on réalise une opération d'obturation mécanique, au moins partielle, de pores du revêtement par usinage et/ou rectification et/ou polissage d'une portion superficielle de ce revêtement. L'opération mécanique d'usinage et/ou de rectification et/ou de polissage a pour effet de déformer plastiquement certains au moins des pores situés à proximité de la surface du revêtement (c'est-à-dire dans une zone superficielle de la couche de revêtement). Cette opération permet de refermer, au moins partiellement, certains des pores situés à la surface du revêtement ce qui limite le passage de libération du lubrifiant introduit dans le réseau de pores interconnectés. On crée ainsi un revêtement présentant un réseau de pores interconnecté contenant du lubrifiant et dont certains des pores placés à proximité de la surface externe du revêtement sont bouchés et d'autres sont ouverts. Ainsi le lubrifiant n'est rendu accessible depuis l'extérieur du revêtement qu'au niveau des pores ouverts débouchant vers l'extérieur du revêtement. Au fur et à mesure de l'usure du revêtement, les pores obturés ou partiellement obturés s'ouvrent et libèrent une part du lubrifiant qu'ils contiennent. Le revêtement présente ainsi à fonction lubrifiante intégrée qui libère son lubrifiant en même temps qu'il s'use.Ideally, after application of the lubricating agent and once lubricant has been introduced into the network of interconnected open pores of the coating, a mechanical sealing operation, at least partial, of the pores of the coating is carried out by machining and / or or rectifying and / or polishing a surface portion of this coating. The mechanical operation of machining and / or grinding and / or polishing has the effect of plastically deforming at least some of the pores located near the surface of the coating (that is to say in a superficial zone of the coating layer). This operation allows to close, at least partially, some of the pores on the surface of the coating which limits the passage of release of the lubricant introduced into the network of interconnected pores. This creates a coating having an interconnected pore network containing lubricant and some of the pores placed near the outer surface of the coating are clogged and others open. Thus the lubricant is made accessible from the outside of the coating only at the open pores opening outwardly of the coating. As and when the coating wears, the closed or partially closed pores open and release a part of the lubricant they contain. The coating thus has an integrated lubricating function which releases its lubricant at the same time as it wears out.

DESCRIPTION DETAILLEE DE L'INVENTIONDETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

A titre d'exemple, on propose de revêtir par procédé HVOF des tiges coulissantes d'atterrisseurs réalisées en acier à haute résistance (en acier 300M selon la norme AMS 6257, ou en acier Aermet 100 selon la norme AMS 6532, traités thermiquement à 1900-2000 Mégapascals) avec un revêtement de type WC-10Co-4Cr avec une dimension moyenne d'agglomérats de 15-45 micromètres, obtenue à partir de carbure de tungstène élémentaire standard (de 1 à 4 micromètres).For example, it is proposed to coat by HVOF process sliding rods of undercarriages made of high-strength steel (300M steel according to the AMS 6257 standard, or Aermet 100 steel according to the AMS 6532 standard, heat-treated to 1900 -2000 megapascals) with a WC-10Co-4Cr type coating with an average agglomerates size of 15-45 micrometers, obtained from standard elementary tungsten carbide (from 1 to 4 micrometers).

L'agent lubrifiant choisi est élaboré à partir d'un fluide hydrofuge de type WADIS24 de la société SOCOMORE FINISHING SOLUTIONS. Dans le cadre de l'invention, le fluide est enrichi en y incorporant des particules de lubrifiant solide, par exemple du graphite, du disulfure de molybdène, du disulfure de tungstène. Bien entendu, on prendra soin que les lubrifiants solides ainsi introduits aient une taille suffisamment faible pour pouvoir pénétrer des les pores du revêtement.The lubricating agent chosen is prepared from a water-repellent fluid of WADIS24 type from SOCOMORE FINISHING SOLUTIONS. In the context of the invention, the fluid is enriched by incorporating solid lubricant particles, for example graphite, molybdenum disulfide, tungsten disulfide. Of course, care will be taken that the solid lubricants thus introduced have a sufficiently small size to penetrate the pores of the coating.

L'agent lubrifiant est déposé au pinceau ou par pulvérisation sur le revêtement. Le fluide forme un film monomoléculaire étanche à la surface du revêtement et s'insinue dans les pores du revêtement en entraînant avec lui les particules de lubrifiant solide.The lubricating agent is deposited by brush or by spray on the coating. The fluid forms a monomolecular film impervious to the surface of the coating and creeps into the pores of the coating, dragging with it solid lubricant particles.

On obtient ainsi une pièce avec un revêtement HVOF autolubrifié dont les lubrifiants solides sont progressivement libérés lors de l'usure en service du revêtement.This gives a part with self-lubricated HVOF coating whose solid lubricants are gradually released during wear in service of the coating.

Le fluide préconisé est compatible avec les huiles minérales, de sorte que la pièce peut être mise rapidement en contact avec un autre lubrifiant. Cependant, si ce lubrifiant venait à manquer lors de la vie de la pièce, le mécanisme d'autolubrification prendrait le relais pour protéger la pièce d'un risque de frottement nu.The recommended fluid is compatible with mineral oils, so that the workpiece can be quickly brought into contact with another lubricant. However, should this lubricant fail during the life of the part, the self-lubricating mechanism would take over to protect the part from a risk of naked rubbing.

Par ailleurs, le fluide a pour action de chasser l'eau de la surface de la tige et concourt donc à la protection de la tige contre la corrosion.In addition, the fluid has the effect of driving water from the surface of the rod and thus contributes to the protection of the rod against corrosion.

Un tel traitement peut être effectué alors que le revêtement a été rectifié. Cependant, un tel traitement peut se faire avant rectification, car cela augmente la pénétration du lubrifiant dans les pores ouverts préférentiellement interconnectés entre eux (la rectification a pour effet de refermer des pores situés en surface du revêtement). Dès lors le lubrifiant est libéré au fur et à mesure de l'usure du revêtement et en particulier au fur et à mesure de l'usure des pores fermés ou partiellement fermés qui contiennent du lubrifiant.Such treatment can be performed while the coating has been ground. However, such treatment can be done before rectification, because it increases the penetration of the lubricant in the open pores preferentially interconnected with each other (the rectification has the effect of closing pores located on the surface of the coating). Therefore the lubricant is released as and when the wear of the coating and in particular as the wear of closed or partially closed pores that contain lubricant.

L'invention n'est pas limitée à ce qui vient d'être décrit, mais englobe au contraire toute variante entrant dans le cadre défini par les revendications.The invention is not limited to what has just been described, but on the contrary covers any variant within the scope defined by the claims.

En particulier, bien que l'agent lubrifiant décrit ici contienne un fluide hydrofuge WADIS24, on pourra bien sûr utiliser tout autre fluide ayant une tension superficielle suffisamment basse pour favoriser sa pénétration dans les pores du revêtement, par exemple du perchloréthylène. Par exemple, on utilisera du disulfure de molybdène micrométrique, du graphite, mélangés avec un agent liant inorganique, par exemple du silicate de sodium, le tout mouillé par du perchloréthylène.In particular, although the lubricating agent described here contains a water-repellent fluid WADIS24, it will of course be possible to use any other fluid having a surface tension sufficiently low to promote its penetration into the pores of the coating, for example perchlorethylene. For example, micrometric molybdenum disulfide, graphite, mixed with an inorganic binder, for example sodium silicate, wetted with perchlorethylene, will be used.
