本发明涉及等离子喷涂、再制造和修复领域,具体涉及一种用于集束等离子喷枪的微孔阳极及集束等离子喷涂方法,通过将阳极出口内径限制在0.5-3毫米的范围内,利用微孔阳极压缩效应获得能量密度集中、发散性小的等离子微射流,等离子微射流的斑点小,适合用于精密零件、微小零件、薄壁零件的表面涂层加工,同时可以把射流加热工件的位置集中在微小的射流斑点区域内,在避免工件整体温度上升的同时,瞬间熔化待喷涂工件表面的局部区域,使得涂层与基体产生冶金结合;利用周向环形分布的粉末输送通道将粉末形成具有预先设计夹角、发散性小的锥形粉末流,使其在等离子微射流中的加热、加速更加均匀,从而获得化学成分均匀、微观结构致密、形成冶金结合的喷涂涂层。The invention relates to the fields of plasma spraying, remanufacturing and repair, in particular to a microporous anode for a cluster plasma spray gun and a cluster plasma spraying method. The compression effect obtains the plasma microjet with concentrated energy density and small divergence. The spot of the plasma microjet is small, which is suitable for surface coating processing of precision parts, tiny parts and thin-walled parts. In the tiny jet spot area, while avoiding the overall temperature rise of the workpiece, the local area of the surface of the workpiece to be sprayed is instantly melted, so that the coating and the substrate are metallurgically bonded; the powder is formed with a pre-designed powder conveying channel with a circumferential annular distribution. The conical powder flow with small included angle and divergence makes the heating and acceleration in the plasma microjet more uniform, so as to obtain a spray coating with uniform chemical composition, dense microstructure and metallurgical bonding.
背景技术Background technique
等离子喷涂是一种材料表面强化和表面改性的技术,如图1所示,其利用电能将氩气、氮气、氢气、或氦气等混合气体在等离子喷枪的阴极与阳极之间发生电离,转变为高温等离子体并形成高温等离子射流(一般10000摄氏度以上),利用其高温、高速等离子射流将通过送粉装置送入的金属、合金、金属氧化物、金属碳化物等粉末材料迅速加热、加速后,撞击工件基体后经过扁平化并急速冷却形成涂层的工艺方法。Plasma spraying is a technology for surface strengthening and surface modification of materials. As shown in Figure 1, it uses electric energy to ionize mixed gases such as argon, nitrogen, hydrogen, or helium between the cathode and anode of the plasma spray gun. Transform into high-temperature plasma and form high-temperature plasma jet (generally above 10,000 degrees Celsius), and use its high-temperature, high-speed plasma jet to rapidly heat and accelerate powder materials such as metals, alloys, metal oxides, and metal carbides sent through the powder feeding device Then, after hitting the workpiece substrate, it is flattened and rapidly cooled to form a coating.
等离子喷涂过程中,基体的温度一般被控制在300-400摄氏度以下,基体表面不发生熔化,等离子喷涂涂层与工件基体的结合方式为机械结合(杨焜等,大气等离子喷涂TiO2涂层性能及厚涂层制备工艺,中国表面工程,第27卷第4期(2014),P12-18;杨卓,哈尔滨工业大学学位位论文,离子喷涂法制备Al2O3/Ag-Cu-Ti复合涂层工艺研究,2012年7月)。During the plasma spraying process, the temperature of the substrate is generally controlled below 300-400 degrees Celsius, the surface of the substrate does not melt, and the combination of the plasma sprayed coating and the workpiece substrate is mechanical bonding (Yang Kun et al., Atmospheric plasma sprayingTiO2 coating performance. and Thick Coating Preparation Process, China Surface Engineering, Vol. 27, No. 4 (2014), P12-18; Yang Zhuo, Dissertation of Harbin Institute of Technology, Preparation of Al2 O3 /Ag-Cu-Ti Composite by Ion Spraying Coating Process Research, July 2012).
如图1所示,现有等离子喷涂技术通过单根送粉管或两根送粉管送粉,通常选用送粉管置于阳极前部的外送粉方式,与等离子射流成直角将粉末送入等离子射流中,粉末发散严重,在等离子射流受热中受热不均匀,位于等离子射流中心的粉末过度熔化而发生破碎和蒸发,而位于等离子射流边缘的粉末多处于固态或半熔化状态,所制备的涂层中容易夹杂未熔化的粉末颗粒。As shown in Figure 1, in the existing plasma spraying technology, powder is fed through a single powder feeding tube or two powder feeding tubes. Usually, the powder feeding tube is placed in the front of the anode, and the powder is sent at a right angle to the plasma jet. In the plasma jet, the powder is seriously scattered, and the heating is uneven in the heating of the plasma jet. The powder located in the center of the plasma jet is excessively melted and broken and evaporated, while the powder located at the edge of the plasma jet is mostly in a solid or semi-melted state. Unmelted powder particles are easily included in the coating.
如图1所示,阳极位于等离子喷枪的前部。图2为现有等离子喷枪的阳极的剖面结构示意图,阳极作为等离子喷枪的电极和等离子体的流通通道,是等离子喷枪的一个关键零部件。为了提高等离子喷涂设备的功率,提高等离子气体的流量,获得大的粉末的送粉速度和高的喷涂生产效率,国内主要开展等离子喷涂研究和应用的单位所采用的等离子喷枪其阳极出口内径较大,通常为5-20毫米,具体情况详述如下:As shown in Figure 1, the anode is located at the front of the plasma torch. FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional structure diagram of an anode of a conventional plasma spray gun. The anode serves as an electrode of the plasma spray gun and a circulation channel for plasma, and is a key component of the plasma spray gun. In order to improve the power of plasma spraying equipment, increase the flow rate of plasma gas, and obtain large powder feeding speed and high spraying production efficiency, the plasma spray gun used by the domestic main research and application units of plasma spraying has a larger inner diameter of the anode outlet. , usually 5-20 mm, as detailed below:

(7)西南石油大学使用的超音速等离子喷涂系统,其喷枪的阳极出口内径为5.5毫米(张勇,博士毕业论文,等离子喷涂射流特性及熔滴铺展凝固行为研究,2015年9月)。(7) The supersonic plasma spraying system used by Southwest Petroleum University, the inner diameter of the anode outlet of the spray gun is 5.5 mm (Zhang Yong, Ph.D. dissertation, Research on the characteristics of plasma spraying jet and the spreading and solidification behavior of molten droplets, September 2015).
由上述分析可知,现有的等离子喷涂技术有如下四点不足:It can be seen from the above analysis that the existing plasma spraying technology has the following four deficiencies:
(1)目前,市场对精密、小型零部件的表面喷涂需求急剧增加。由于现有等离子喷枪的阳极出口内径较大,因此等离子射流的直径大,对于精密、小型零部件的表面制备涂层时,为了防止不需要喷涂的周边位置附上涂层,通常采用遮挡的方法进行防护(比如缠绕高温胶带、金属片等),这不仅增加了生产前期准备工作量,而且由于等离子射流的温度高,高温胶带、金属片等容易烧损脱落,其防护效果很差。因此,为了满足精细零件的等离子喷涂需求,急需开发阳极出口内径小、等离子射流更加集中的等离子喷涂设备。(1) At present, the market demand for surface coating of precision and small parts has increased sharply. Due to the large inner diameter of the anode outlet of the existing plasma spray gun, the diameter of the plasma jet is large. When preparing coatings on the surface of precision and small parts, in order to prevent the coating from attaching to the peripheral positions that do not need to be sprayed, the method of shielding is usually used. For protection (such as winding high-temperature tapes, metal sheets, etc.), this not only increases the workload of pre-production preparations, but also due to the high temperature of the plasma jet, high-temperature tapes, metal sheets, etc. are easy to burn and fall off, and their protective effect is very poor. Therefore, in order to meet the demand for plasma spraying of fine parts, it is urgent to develop plasma spraying equipment with a small anode outlet inner diameter and a more concentrated plasma jet.
(2)由于阳极出口内径通常为5-20毫米,尺寸较大,必然导致等离子射流的斑点大。喷涂过程中,大斑点、炽热的等离子射流对工件进行大面积的加热,工件的温度整体升高,将劣化工件的微观组织和力学性能。为了避免工件受到等离子射流加热的影响,在等离子喷涂生产过程中,喷涂距离(喷涂工件表面到喷枪阳极出口的距离)设定较远,通常为80-150毫米。然而,喷涂距离越远,等离子射流的集中性越差,所制备涂层的致密性就越低。(2) Since the inner diameter of the anode outlet is usually 5-20 mm, the size is large, which will inevitably lead to large spots of the plasma jet. During the spraying process, the large spot and hot plasma jet heats the workpiece in a large area, and the temperature of the workpiece increases as a whole, which will deteriorate the microstructure and mechanical properties of the workpiece. In order to avoid the workpiece being affected by the plasma jet heating, in the plasma spraying production process, the spraying distance (the distance from the surface of the sprayed workpiece to the anode outlet of the spray gun) is set far, usually 80-150 mm. However, the longer the spray distance, the less concentrated the plasma jet, and the less dense the prepared coating.
(3)现有等离子喷涂过程中,基体的温度一般被控制在300-400摄氏度以下,基体表面不发生熔化,制备的涂层与基体的结合方式为机械结合,结合力通常低于40MPa,与冶金结合相比,涂层与基体的结合强度较低,导致在涂层服役过程中,涂层容易发生局部脱落,甚至整体剥落,涂层的工作寿命短。(3) In the existing plasma spraying process, the temperature of the substrate is generally controlled below 300-400 degrees Celsius, and the surface of the substrate does not melt. The combination of the prepared coating and the substrate is mechanical bonding, and the bonding force is usually lower than 40MPa. Compared with metallurgical bonding, the bonding strength between the coating and the substrate is lower, which leads to the local peeling off of the coating during the service process of the coating, or even the overall peeling off, and the working life of the coating is short.
(4)现有等离子喷涂的等离子射流的集中性差;单根送粉管或两根送粉管送粉的均匀性也差。导致经过等离子射流加热、加速后的粉末颗粒的速度和温度各不相同,均匀性差,所制备的涂层中容易夹杂未熔化的粉末颗粒,同时未沉积为涂层的粉末颗粒飞向周边环境中,粉末材料的沉积效率低。不仅污染环境,而且提高了制备单位面积涂层的粉末的消耗量,从而降低了生产效率,提高了生产成本。(4) The concentration of the plasma jet of the existing plasma spraying is poor; the uniformity of powder feeding by a single powder feeding tube or two powder feeding tubes is also poor. As a result, the speed and temperature of the powder particles heated and accelerated by the plasma jet are different, and the uniformity is poor. The prepared coating is easily mixed with unmelted powder particles, and the powder particles that are not deposited as coatings fly into the surrounding environment. , the deposition efficiency of powder materials is low. It not only pollutes the environment, but also increases the consumption of powder for preparing the coating per unit area, thereby reducing the production efficiency and increasing the production cost.
发明内容SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
针对上述现有技术的不足之处,本发明提供了一种用于集束等离子喷枪的微孔阳极及集束等离子喷涂方法,将阳极出口内径限制在0.5-3毫米的范围内,等离子微射流的斑点小,能使涂层与基体产生冶金结合,粉末加热、加速更加均匀,从而获得化学成分均匀、微观结构致密、形成冶金结合的喷涂涂层。本发明结构简单,无需另外增加冷却循环装置,安装、拆卸、检查方便。In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a microporous anode for a cluster plasma spray gun and a cluster plasma spray method, which limits the inner diameter of the anode outlet within the range of 0.5-3 mm, and the spots of the plasma micro-jet are limited. Small, can make the coating and the substrate metallurgical bonding, powder heating and acceleration more uniform, so as to obtain a spray coating with uniform chemical composition, dense microstructure and metallurgical bonding. The invention has a simple structure, does not need to add a cooling circulation device, and is convenient for installation, disassembly and inspection.
本发明的技术方案如下:The technical scheme of the present invention is as follows:
本发明公开了一种用于集束等离子喷枪的微孔阳极;包括阳极前部、阳极中部和阳极后部,并与等离子喷枪进行同轴连接。阳极前部有粉末输送通道和保护气体输送通道;微孔阳极的内通道自行围合形成喷管,微孔阳极的出口内径为0.5-3毫米;微孔阳极内有冷却循环水空间。The invention discloses a microporous anode used for a cluster plasma spray gun; it comprises an anode front part, an anode middle part and an anode rear part, and is coaxially connected with the plasma spray gun. There are powder conveying channels and protective gas conveying channels at the front of the anode; the inner channel of the microporous anode is self-enclosed to form a nozzle, and the inner diameter of the outlet of the microporous anode is 0.5-3 mm; there is a cooling circulating water space in the microporous anode.
所述的阳极前部有粉末输送通道,其数量为3-6个,在阳极前部的外圆周面上均匀分布;所述的粉末输送通道与喷管相通,其与中心线的夹角A为10-85度。The front part of the anode has powder conveying channels, the number of which is 3-6, and is evenly distributed on the outer circumference of the front part of the anode; the powder conveying channel is communicated with the nozzle, and the angle A between it and the center line is 10-85 degrees.
所述的粉末输送通道将粉末高速、均匀地送至等离子射流中,形成具有预先设计夹角A的锥形粉末射流,并最终聚焦于中心轴某一点上,从而获得高速、均匀分布、发散性小的粉末射流。由于粉末输送通道有3-6个,粉末从四周环形送粉,与现有的单送粉管或双送粉管相比,单位时间内送粉量可以大大提高,从而获得高浓度的锥形粉末射流;特别地,利用高浓度粉末射流挡住等离子射流对工件基体的辐射加热,可降低等离子射流对工件基体的热作用,从而即使在短的喷涂距离内,也能大幅度缓解工件整体由于过度受热引起的整体力学性能降低,也提高了等离子喷涂热源用于加热粉末的热效率。另外,粉末在等离子射流中加热均匀性好,避免了粉末合金元素由于过热发生蒸发和烧损,喷涂涂层的化学成分与原始粉末更近似一致,不向环境中释放有害的金属蒸气,有利于保护操作工人的身体健康和满足环保要求。The powder conveying channel sends the powder into the plasma jet at a high speed and uniformly, forming a conical powder jet with a pre-designed angle A, and finally focuses on a certain point of the central axis, so as to obtain high speed, uniform distribution and divergence. Small powder jet. Since there are 3-6 powder conveying channels, the powder is fed from all sides in a ring shape. Compared with the existing single powder feeding tube or double powder feeding tube, the powder feeding amount per unit time can be greatly increased, so as to obtain a high-concentration cone. Powder jet; in particular, the use of high-concentration powder jet to block the radiative heating of the plasma jet to the workpiece substrate can reduce the thermal effect of the plasma jet on the workpiece substrate, so that even in a short spraying distance, it can also greatly alleviate the overall overheating of the workpiece. The reduction in overall mechanical properties caused by heating also improves the thermal efficiency of the plasma spray heat source for heating powders. In addition, the powder has good heating uniformity in the plasma jet, which avoids the evaporation and burning of powder alloy elements due to overheating. The chemical composition of the spray coating is more similar to the original powder, and no harmful metal vapor is released into the environment, which is beneficial to Protect the health of operators and meet environmental protection requirements.
所述的阳极前部有保护气体输送通道,其数量为3-6个,在阳极前部的外圆周面上均匀分布。所述的保护气体输送通道与喷管相通,其与中心线的夹角B为10-85度。所述保护气体输送通道与所述的粉末输送通道相比,更靠近喷管出口方向。所述的保护气体输送通道将保护气体高速、均匀地送至等离子射流中,形成具有预先设计夹角B的锥形保护气流,并最终聚焦于中心轴上,在防止外界空气卷入等离子射流中的同时,进一步约束粉末,防止粉末发生发散,促进粉末聚焦在一起。The front part of the anode is provided with protective gas conveying channels, the number of which is 3-6, which are evenly distributed on the outer circumference of the front part of the anode. The protective gas conveying channel communicates with the nozzle, and the included angle B between it and the center line is 10-85 degrees. Compared with the powder conveying passage, the protective gas conveying passage is closer to the outlet direction of the nozzle. The protective gas delivery channel sends the protective gas into the plasma jet at a high speed and uniformity, forming a conical protective air flow with a pre-designed included angle B, and finally focuses on the central axis to prevent the outside air from being involved in the plasma jet. At the same time, it further constrains the powder, prevents the powder from spreading, and promotes the powder to focus together.
所述微孔阳极的喷管为等离子体的流通通道,其出口内径D非常小,仅为0.5-3毫米。利用微孔阳极压缩效应获得能量密度集中、发散性小的等离子微射流,等离子微射流的斑点小,可以把射流加热工件的位置集中在微小的射流斑点区域内,在避免工件整体温度上升的同时,瞬间熔化待喷涂工件表面的局部区域,使得涂层与基体产生冶金结合。The nozzle of the microporous anode is the flow channel of the plasma, and the inner diameter D of the outlet is very small, only 0.5-3 mm. The plasma microjet with concentrated energy density and small divergence is obtained by using the compression effect of the microporous anode. The spot of the plasma microjet is small, and the position of the jet heating the workpiece can be concentrated in the tiny jet spot area, while avoiding the overall temperature rise of the workpiece. , which instantly melts the local area of the surface of the workpiece to be sprayed, so that the coating and the substrate produce metallurgical bonding.
所述的喷管沿出口方向其内径呈现收缩形式;或沿出口方向上其内径保持不变;或沿出口方向上其内径呈现扩张形式;或是上述形式的组合方式。The inner diameter of the nozzle exhibits a shrinking form along the outlet direction; or the inner diameter remains unchanged along the outlet direction; or the inner diameter exhibits an expanding form along the outlet direction; or a combination of the above forms.

为了简化微孔阳极的结构,所述保护气体输送通道可以安装在阳极的前部,或省略不要。In order to simplify the structure of the microporous anode, the protective gas delivery channel can be installed at the front of the anode, or omitted.

所述的粉末输送通道(4)将粉末高速、均匀地送至等离子射流中,形成具有预先设计夹角A的锥形粉末射流,并最终聚焦于中心轴某一点上,从而获得高速、均匀分布、发散性小的粉末射流。由于粉末输送通道(4)有3-6个,粉末从四周环形送粉,与现有的单送粉管或双送粉管相比,单位时间内送粉量可以大大提高,从而获得高浓度的锥形粉末射流;特别地,利用高浓度粉末射流挡住等离子射流对工件基体的辐射加热,可降低等离子射流对工件基体的热作用,从而即使在短的喷涂距离内,也能大幅度缓解工件整体由于过度受热引起的整体力学性能降低,也提高了等离子喷涂热源用于加热粉末的热效率。另外,粉末在等离子射流中加热均匀性好,避免了粉末合金元素由于过热发生蒸发和烧损,喷涂涂层的化学成分与原始粉末更近似一致,不向环境中释放有害的金属蒸气,有利于保护操作工人的身体健康和满足环保要求。The powder conveying channel (4) sends the powder into the plasma jet at a high speed and uniformly to form a conical powder jet with a pre-designed included angle A, and finally focuses on a certain point of the central axis, so as to obtain a high-speed and uniform distribution , Powder jet with small dispersion. Since there are 3-6 powder conveying channels (4), the powder is fed in a ring shape from all sides. Compared with the existing single powder feeding tube or double powder feeding tube, the powder feeding amount per unit time can be greatly increased, so that high concentration can be obtained. In particular, the use of high-concentration powder jet to block the radiation heating of the plasma jet to the workpiece substrate can reduce the thermal effect of the plasma jet on the workpiece substrate, so that even in a short spraying distance, the workpiece can be greatly relieved. The overall reduction in overall mechanical properties due to excessive heating also improves the thermal efficiency of the plasma spray heat source for heating powders. In addition, the powder has good heating uniformity in the plasma jet, which avoids the evaporation and burning of powder alloy elements due to overheating. The chemical composition of the spray coating is more similar to the original powder, and no harmful metal vapor is released into the environment, which is beneficial to Protect the health of operators and meet environmental protection requirements.
