Objective of the invention
An object of the invention is to provide a cooling element comprising a base element of copper and coating at least partly covering the base element with a good metallurgical bond 5 between the coating and the cooling element.
Another object of the invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a cooling element comprising a base élément of copper and coating at least partly covering the base element and having a good metallurgical bond between the coating and the cooling element.
Short description of the invention
The cooling element of the invention is characterized by the définitions of independent claim 1.
Preferred embodiments of the cooling element are defined in the dépendent claims 2 to 9.
The method for manufacturing a cooling element is correspond ingly characterized by the 15 définitions of independent claim i 0.
Preferred embodiments of the method are defined in the dépendent claims 1 i to 19.
The invention is based on the coating being at least partly applied by a laser coating process such as laser déposition and on the coating containing a nickel, Ni, based alloy.
The coating may contain in percentages of mass: Iran, Fe, 0.1 to 15 %; Nickel, Ni, 50 to 20 65 %; Chromium, Cr, 1 to 30 %; Molybdenum, Mo, 5 to 30 %; Copper, Cu, less than 2%;
Manganèse, Mn, less than 3%; Cobalt, and Co, less than3%.
The good metallurgical bond achieved by laser depositing the coating improves heat transfer between the copper of the base element and the coating minimizes the surface température of the cooling element and minimizes thermal expansion différences between the 25 copper of the base element and the coating. The coating does not negatively affect the cooling capacity of the cooling element.
The surface of the coating is preferably smooth and it provides for protection against corrosion and érosion of the cooling element and as a conséquence a smooth surface of the cooling element can remain smooth and therefore the cooling element has a good non-sticking 30 surface property for a much longer time compared to a cooling element in which the copper of the base element forrns the fire surface of the cooling element.
A manufacturing process for manufacturing a cooling element according to the invention may involve the following steps: rough machining of the surface of the base element to be coated, the actual coating process, and machining of the surface to desired smoothness and 35 dimensional tolérances.
Several advantages are achieved by a cooling element according to the invention.
In laser coating, the coating material, powder or wire, is applied on the surface of the base material through a melting process. In laser coating the coating material is injected with a carrier »
gas to the laser beam traversing on a surface of the material or component to be coated. The coating material absorbs energy from the laser beam, starts hcating and melting in-flight and deposits on the surface of the base material. Part of the energy is also absorbed by the surface causing controlled melting of a thin layer of the base material. This ensurcs the formation of a 5 real metallurgical bonding between the coating and the base material.
In laser coating a me 11 pool of the coating material is formed which in tum results in coating without porosity.
Because heating is concentrated on a very thin surface layer of the base material, the mixing between the two materials (coating and base material) i.e. dilution, is minimal. This 10 ensures that the properties of the coating material is utilized most effectively and the fire surface will obtain the characteristics of a nickel-based alloy, not the characteristics of a nickel-copperalloy.
Laser coating makes it possible to achieve a coating being sufficiently thick.
Because the cooling rate of the coating is very rapid, unwanted changes in the 15 microstructure of the coating will not occur. Additîonally very fine microstructure is formed which is bénéficiai for corrosion and wear properties.
The laser coating process can be automated, which leads to an uniform quality of the coating.
The coating provides additîonally for protection against wet corrosion i.e. corrosion due 20 to condensing of acid on the cool surface of the cooling element and provides for protection for the base element of copper against impurities harmful for the base element of copper.
Because the coating is harder that copper, the coating will also protect against érosion. The coating will provide for a slippery fire surface, because the surface will be smooth, which hinders excrescences from adhering to the fire surface.
The surface smoothness of the coating will remain smooth for a much longer time compared to a smooth copper surface, due to the lower rate of corrosion and érosion. This increases the non-sticking surface property.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the cooling element is arranged in an outlet for discharging mclt such as moltcn métal from a pyrometallurgical fumace such as in an outlet 30 for discharging melt such as moltcn métal from a flash smelting fumace or from a flash converting fumace.
