Definitions
- the present invention relates to a thermal spraying apparatus that forms a spray coating on an inner circumferential surface of a cylinder bore of an engine and the like.
- This adhesion of the reflected particles and spray fumes is such that when the spray gun is moved from the upper end of the bore (the end portion of the cylinder bore that faces the outside of the cylinder block) to the lower end of the bore (the end portion of the cylinder bore that faces the inside of the cylinder block), they adhere to an unsprayed surface of the bore surface on the lower side. When the spray gun is moved from the lower end of the bore to the upper end, they adhere to an unsprayed surface of the bore surface on the upper side. As a result of the adhesion of the reflected particles and spray fumes to an unsprayed surface of the bore surface, there arise problems where the bond strength of the spray particles at the unsprayed surface drops significantly, and the smoothness of the bore surface is compromised.
- the thermal spraying method and thermal spraying apparatus of Patent Document 2 are an apparatus whose object is to prevent reducing operating efficiency resulting from the attachment/detachment of a masking member in a conventional thermal spraying apparatus that uses a masking member in order to prevent the adhesion of spray particles to parts where coating is unneeded.
- spraying is performed while moving a spray gun in the axial direction within a cylinder in a state where the spray direction of the spray material from the spray gun is so inclined that the spray angle formed between this spray direction and the inner surface of the cylinder is an acute angle.
- the spray angle in the vicinity of the end portions of the inner surface of the cylinder in the axial direction is made greater than the spray angle at other regions.
- the thermal spraying method of Patent Document 3 is one in which, at the lower half portion of the outer circumferential surface from a lower opening portion of a rotating hollow cylindrical tube, compressed air is blown against a recessed portion that is circumferentially provided in the shape of a ring in a plane that is parallel to the plane of the opening end, thereby causing an air flow that ascends along the inner circumferential surface, and removing unmelted particles and fumes adhered to the inner circumferential surface.
- Patent Document 1
- Patent Document 2
- the operation of attaching/detaching a masking member can be eliminated. However, it merely adjusts the spray angle. With this configuration, the adhesion of reflected particles and spray fumes to an unsprayed surface of a bore surface cannot be prevented completely.
- the thermal spraying method of Patent Document 3 although fumes adhered to a bore surface may be removed, it does not go so far as to prevent the adhesion of fumes and the like.
- the present invention is made in view of the problems mentioned above. Its object is to provide a thermal spraying apparatus that is capable of, with a simple apparatus configuration, effectively preventing the adhesion of reflected particles and spray fumes to a cylinder bore surface during spraying.
- a thermal spraying apparatus is a thermal spraying apparatus that forms an arc spray coating on a cylinder bore surface characterized in that: the thermal spraying apparatus at least comprises rotation control means, movement control means, and a spray gun that is rotated by the rotation control means and that has at one end thereof a first discharge opening facing a direction that is orthogonal to the movement direction of the spray gun and that further has a second discharge opening facing a direction that is orthogonal to the direction that the first discharge opening faces; in the spray gun, a third discharge opening for discharging a fluid and that faces the same direction as the first discharge opening is provided at a predetermined region that is located further to the side in the movement direction of the spray gun than the first discharge opening; atomizing air is discharged from the first discharge opening and auxiliary air is discharged from the second discharge opening; and when the first discharge opening moves from one end side of the cylinder bore to the other end side by means of the movement control means while the spray gun is in a rotating posture by means of
- a thermal spraying method that is realized by applying a thermal spraying apparatus of the present invention is directed towards arc spraying.
- wire materials for the arc spray wire material wire materials made of metals, such as iron, aluminum, zinc, titanium, molybdenum, and the like, alloys, such as tin-zinc alloys, nickel-aluminum alloys, nickel-chromium alloys, and the like, ceramic powders, such as alumina, zirconia, and the like, stellite alloys, chromium-iron alloy powders, and the like may be used.
- a thermal spraying apparatus of the present invention is suited for use in forming an arc spray coating on the inner circumferential surface of a cylinder bore of an engine and the like.
- it may naturally be applied to arc spraying onto internal surfaces of appropriate tubular members for which it is necessary to improve the wear-resistance and the like thereof, such as the sliding surface of a cylinder constituting a cylinder unit mechanism that is an actuator.
- two pieces of spray wire material are short-circuited with each other's tips to generate an arc, and a droplet of the spray wire material is formed.
- compressed auxiliary air is discharged from the second discharge opening from the tip of the spray gun.
- atomizing air that travels towards the bore surface is discharged from the first discharge opening.
- spray particles are formed, and these spray particles are sprayed onto the bore surface.
- the wires are supplied by an appropriate feeding mechanism so that the wires, which are consumed as the spraying process proceeds, can maintain a positional relationship where their tips are contiguous with each other.
- the thermal spraying apparatus comprises the rotation control means that controls the rotation of the spray gun, and the movement control means that controls the ascent/descent of the spray gun in the axial center direction of the bore.
- the spray gun may be lowered to the lower end of the bore, be rotated after having the frame stabilized at the lower end of the bore, and ascend once within the bore at a predetermined speed while maintaining this posture, thus forming a spray coating on the bore surface. It is noted that it may also naturally be a method of forming a spray coating while having the spray gun of a rotating posture ascend and descend a plurality of times within the bore.
- the third discharge opening for discharging a fluid such as compressed air or the like is further formed at a predetermined region on the side towards the movement direction of the spray gun. In synchrony with the spraying of the spray particles onto the bore surface, the fluid is discharged towards the bore surface from this third discharge opening as well.
- the third discharge opening is provided further above (upper end side of the bore) than the first and second discharge openings formed at the lower end of the spray gun. As the spray particles are sprayed at the lower side, compressed air is blown from thereabove.
- the thermal spraying apparatus also comprises an extraction apparatus that is internally placed in the cylinder block, and thermal spray processing is conducted while extracting spray fumes from the lower end side of the bore, it is possible to further enhance the effect of preventing spray fumes from adhering to unsprayed regions.
- a preferred embodiment of a thermal spraying apparatus is characterized in that, in the above-mentioned thermal spraying apparatus, the distance from the deposition center of the arc spray coating, which is sprayed and deposited on the above-mentioned bore surface, to the intersection between the axial center line extending from the above-mentioned third discharge opening and the bore surface is set within a range of 10 to 40 mm.
- the spray direction of the spray particles actually sprayed onto the bore surface by the atomizing air blown from the first discharge opening and the auxiliary air blown from the second discharge opening is in a direction that is inclined downward by a predetermined angle from a direction that is orthogonal (the direction of the normal line to the bore surface which is the horizontal direction) to the movement direction (for example, the vertical direction) of the spray gun.
- the angle at which the spray particles are actually sprayed onto the bore surface is a region that is below the horizontal direction. This region is dependent on the blowing pressures of the auxiliary air and the atomizing air, the separation between the first discharge opening and the bore surface, and further on the movement speed of the spray gun.
- the spray gun when the spray gun is moved upward at a predetermined movement speed, the auxiliary air and the atomizing air discharged at predetermined pressures, and further a predetermined separation set between the first discharge opening and the bore surface, and in embodiments in which the distance from the deposition center of the arc spray coating, which is formed by spraying spray particles, to the intersection between the axial center, which extends from the third discharge opening, and the bore surface is separated by 10 to 40 mm, it has been verified that the bond strength of the coating, specifically the bond strength at above the sprayed region of interest (the spray coating of the region on which spray coating is to be formed later), exhibits a high strength exceeding a predetermined reference value.
- a thermal spraying apparatus of the present invention the adhesion of spray fumes to unsprayed regions of the bore surface during arc spraying can be prevented effectively. As a result, high bond strength can be secured between the spray coating and the bore surface. Therefore, it leads to an improvement in the durability of the cylinder block.

- fume adhesion prevention air A 3 is discharged towards the bore surface from the fume adhesion prevention nozzles 65 , which face the same direction as the atomizing nozzle 62 , at further above than the atomizing nozzle 62 (above in the movement direction of the spray gun 6 ).
- the spray particles W 2 , . . . and the fume adhesion prevention air A 3 are so controlled as to be sprayed synchronously.
- FIG. 4 is a view illustrating a region, where the axial center of the third discharge openings (the fume adhesion prevention nozzles 65 ) intersects the bore surface, and a deposition center of sprayed particles.
- the fume adhesion prevention air A 3 that is blown in synchrony with the spraying of the spray particles W 2 , . . . is so arranged as to be blown towards a region that is separated from the above-mentioned deposition center P 1 in the upper direction by a distance:L (the distance to the intersection:P 2 between the axial center line, which extends from the fume adhesion prevention nozzles 65 , and the bore surface).
- a distance:L the distance to the intersection:P 2 between the axial center line, which extends from the fume adhesion prevention nozzles 65 , and the bore surface.
- the present inventors conducted experiments for determining the optimum range for the distance:L indicated in FIG. 4 , and identified a range for the above-mentioned distance:L in which a high bond strength can be obtained between a spray coating and a bore surface in cases where the spray coating is formed while moving a spray gun from the lower end of the bore to the upper end.
- the specific contents of the experiments were: a die-cast aluminum alloy cylinder block with an inner diameter: ⁇ of 88 mm was manufactured, and an arc spray coating was formed on the bore surface thereof.
- a shot blasting process was performed using alumina grits of #20 blasting particles and under a condition where the air pressure was 5 kg/cm 2 , so that the surface roughness of the bore surface would be 60 Rz.
- fume adhesion prevention air was discharged with the air pressure set to 0.8 MPa while varying the above-mentioned distance:L within 0 to 60 mm.
- An arc was generated 50 mm above the upper end of the bore.
- the spray gun was not rotated, and the frame was stabilized in 4 seconds. Then, the spray gun was moved to 30 mm below the lower end of the bore at 100 mm/sec. Then, spraying was performed while the spray gun rotated at 200 rpm, and ascended one pass (only once) at pull-up speed: 6 mm/sec.
- spraying was performed using a wire of Fe—0.4% C—1% Mn—8% Cr and of ⁇ 1.6 mm (the respective constituents are in weight %) for the arc spray wire material, the applied voltage being 30 V, and while spray fumes were extracted at extraction speed: 8 m/sec from the lower end of the bore using a pipe of ⁇ 80 mm. Further, the discharge pressure of the atomizing air during spraying is set to 0.7 MPa and the discharge pressure of the auxiliary air to 0.7 MPa, and the separation between the atomizing nozzle and the bore surface was set to 50 mm.
- the present inventors took SEM images at the boundary region between the spray coating and the bore surface in each case of a thermal spraying apparatus in which distance:L was set to 30 mm (working example), which is within the above-mentioned range, and of a thermal spraying apparatus in which L was made 0 mm (comparative example).
- the images are shown in FIG. 6 .
- FIG. 6 a shows the comparative example
- FIG. 6 b shows the working example.
- FIG. 6 a From. FIG. 6 a , it can be seen that many pores exist at the boundary between the bore surface and the spray coating in the comparative example. It can be determined that the pores result from spray fumes and the like.
