Abstract
A process for applying a protective layer to the surface of a component comprising a blasting process for activating the surface of the component and at least one spraying process for coating the component, wherein the blasting process and the spraying process are performed by the same apparatus. For preference, the surface to be coated is a light-metal (eg aluminium or magnesium) alloy, copper alloy, nickel alloy or steel alloy which is blasted with aluminium oxide or silicon carbide and then coated with aluminium.
Description
2335202 1 Flame-Spray Process for the Pre-treatment and Coating of
Surfaces The present invention relates to a high-velocity flame-spray process for the pretreatment and coating of surfaces of a component, in order to improve the resistance thereof.
In spraying processes of this type, for example WOF (high-velocity oxygen fuel) spraying, the surface of a component or workpiece to be treated is generally first of all blasted in a first step with a blasting material, which is formed for example from aluminium oxide (A1203) or silicon carbide (SiC). This step has been performed with blasting apparatus usually provided separately therefor, inter alia a blasting gun. By means of a suitable supply of air into this blasting gun a suction effect is produced in a storage container in which the blasting material is held available, as a result of which the blasting material is drawn out of the storage container and is accelerated in the blasting gun. Blasting the surface with the blasting material results in a so-called activation of the blasted surface. During this process, the said surface is roughened, thus resulting in an increase of the surface area thereof and thus an improved adhesion of layers to be applied subsequently. In addition, the blasting treatment has the effect of cleaning the surface to be treated of residues adhering thereto, for example oxide skins formed during the manufacture of the material to be treated. In known methods, after the surface has been blasted, a spraying process is performed in a second step, in which the surface to be treated is coated by spraying apparatus, again provided separately for this step.
The disadvantage of these methods is that, in order to perform each of the two method steps, apparatus provided separately therefor has to be used in each case. In this way, a blasting plant has to be provided in which the workpiece to be treated has first to be activated as described. For this purpose, separate chambers or cubicles for manual 2 activation of the surfaces to be treated are frequently required. For the second method step it is then necessary to provide thermal spraying cubicles into which the component has to be conveyed, so that the spraying process can be performed by means of spraying apparatus provided therefor in an appropriate manner.
As well as the relatively high cost of separate operating apparatus required as a whole for the two method steps and the high installation and maintenance costs linked thereto, this method also has the disadvantage that it is not suitable for applying an anticorrosion layer to highly corrosive surfaces. In future, the use of easily oxidizing materials, such as for example magnesium, aluminium-magnesium-titanium alloys or copper materials, will play an important role. These are particularly important in the construction of vehicle bodies. In known methods, however, there exists between the surface-activation step and the spraying process an interval during which an oxidation skin forms on the surface of easily oxidizing materials, and this oxidation skin in turn significantly reduces the adhesion capacity for a coating to be applied subsequently.
A further disadvantage of the previous method is that the blasting material used for activating the surface of the component is collected several times after it has been blasted onto the surface, in order to reduce the quantity of blasting material required as a whole. After a cleaning step performed in parallel, the blasting material is returned to the storage container and is used again in the further course of the blasting procedure. In this way, the sharpness of the edges of the particles of blasting material is reduced, so that when blasting procedures of relatively long duration occur the effectiveness of the blasting particles is reduced. With this method, however, in conjunction with the treatment of highly corrosive light-metal surfaces, the problem arises in particular that despite cleaning the blasting material already used slight impurities remain on the blasting material. These impurities arise inter alia as a result of the impact of the blasting material upon the covering of the cubicle or as a result on wear on the walls of the storage container or on pipes and lines. These components of the plant are formed substantially from steel. Despite the cleaning, therefore, a certain amount of iron dust remains on the blasting material on each run through, and is embedded in the surface of 3 the light-metal component. Even if these impurities are covered by the layer applied in the following spraying process, they form triggers for corrosion on the surface of the component.
An object of the invention is therefore to provide a high-velocity flamespray process for the pre-treatment and coating of surfaces, which will ensure the resistance of the surfaces to be treated.
