Abstract
Description
- The present invention lies in the field of electrolytic coatings.
- The invention relates to a metallic substrate with a ceramic coating obtained by plasma electrolytic oxidation, resistant to degradation by tribocorrosion of light metals and their alloys, in a liquid and/or semisolid state with a thickness from 10 to 300 µm and resistant to immersion in said light metals and their alloys without compositional modification of the substrate.
- The invention also relates to a method for obtaining a metallic substrate with a ceramic coating by plasma electrolytic oxidation wherein said substrate comprises a metallic core and an outer layer of a metal different from that of the core or an intermetallic compound, said outer layer being obtained by thermal spraying, laser, diffusion, hot galvanising or cementing.
- There exist numerous applications in the casting industry, specifically for light alloys such as those of aluminium, in which the material in a molten or semisolid state is in contact with a support metal that suffers tribocorrosion, this is, a degradation due to a combination of corrosion and wear, that renders it unusable in a short or medium term.
- Examples of applications in which a metal suffers the effect of molten aluminium are rotors, refractory oven walls, casings of immersion heater resistors, pistons and injection chambers of metals and manufacturing of compounds with a metallic or polymer matrix.
- Consequently, there is a need to provide the metallic materials with a coating that withstands the aforementioned degradation due to tribocorrosion.
- The use is known of ceramic materials in relation to molten metals, such as in heaters and thermocouple sleeves. These materials are very expensive and are highly inefficient in transferring heat due to the air present between the heating and measuring elements and the tube, as well as to their very low heat conductivity. However, their greatest drawback is the highly fragile nature and lack of tenacity of ceramic materials.
- Ceramic coatings are known that are attached to the part to protect which partially resist degradation by the use of relatively large thickness and for a relatively short period; in addition, de to the technique used in their manufacture they cannot be used in parts with complex shapes, so that their use in areas with orifices, notches, lips, etc. is entirely excluded and they are recommended only for exposed surfaces and relatively small dimensions. Another of their drawbacks is the difficulty in controlling the homogeneity of the layer thickness throughout their extension, exhibiting high porosity and thickness variation.

Patent EP1231299 discloses a coating on a nonferrous substrate in which a series of functional compounds are introduced on a porous starting layer. - The drawback of this coating is that it does not allow using ferrous substrates, which are common in the industry, as said ferrous substrates have outstanding mechanical performance and a low cost, instead using as substrate alloys of light metals (Al, Mg,...) which cannot be used in accordance with the invention of said patent, as the core of the coating would degrade when subjected to temperatures very near its melting point. In addition, this process is directly intended to achieve an open surface porosity that ensures the possibility of introducing lubricating elements. This porosity, in some cases greater than 30%, would be deleterious for use with molten light metals, as it would enhance the corrosion process by allowing the molten metal to penetrate to the core.
- Patent
US20120177837 discloses a coating on a metallic substrate made from ceramic powder mixed with metal, this mixture being applied on said substrate. - The drawback of this coating is that it is intended for manufacturing an immersion resistor that is submerged in a static metal bath and has a very simple shape. The technique used to coat the metallic substrate with a ceramic powder having a complex formulation is quite costly due to its complexity, and in addition it cannot be used for complex shapes. It would not be possible to use it for a great number of components and shapes that are currently used in the casting industry, so that its application is limited exclusively to that for which it was designed, namely an immersion heater.
- As shown above, the form in which the coating is obtained affects its properties, this is, the method used to obtain the coating is related to the properties that it will have.
- To overcome the aforementioned drawbacks of the state of the art, the following invention is proposed for a metallic substrate with a ceramic coating and the method for obtaining it.

The technical problem to solve is obtaining said metallic substrate with a ceramic coating having ideal properties regarding tribocorrosion of light metals and their alloys, in liquid and/or semi-solid state, that allows implementing it in any type of part.
- In view of the above, the present invention relates to a metallic substrate with a ceramic coating obtained by plasma electrolytic oxidation, resistant to degradation by tribocorrosion of light metals and their alloys, in a liquid and/or semi-solid state with a thickness from 10 to 300 µm and resistant to immersion in said light metals and their alloys without compositional modification of the substrate.

The outer layer of a metal different from that of the core is normally obtained by thermal spraying, laser, hot galvanising or cementing, while the outer layer of an intermetallic compound is normally obtained by spraying or solid or liquid diffusion.
- The ceramic coating on any substrate has been verified to present a hardness from 100 to 2000 HV, an adherence from 2 to 30 MPa, and a mean roughness, Ra, from 1 to 5 µm.

- Preferably, the thermal spraying, laser, hot galvanising and cementing is performed on a core when the coating is obtained as an outer layer of a metal different from that of the core, while spraying and solid or liquid diffusion is performed on a core when the coating is obtained as an outer layer of an intermetallic compound.
- One advantage of the method is that is allows obtaining a coating with a great resistance, particularly on steels, as it includes an intermediate metallic substrate or an intermetallic layer using known techniques that are therefore simple and relatively inexpensive.
