Definitions
- This invention relates to the application of corrosion and mechanical wear resistant coatings to metal surfaces and, more particularly, to the coating of steel structures with aluminum matrix composite coatings.
- aluminum matrix composite compositions have been used as coatings on steel substrates to give not only high cathodic protection but also good wear resistance to the steel structure.
- These coatings have in the past been applied by techniques such as flame spraying a body of molten metal onto the substrate to be coated, with particulate refractory or ceramic particles introduced into the spray. Flame spraying of metal powder together with refractory or ceramic particles has also been used. It is also known to use thermal spraying or plasma spraying in place of the above mentioned flame spraying technique.
- an aluminum matrix composite coating is applied to metal substrates by directly flame spraying or arc spraying a preformed aluminum matrix composite material.
- the preformed material is preferably in the form of a wire or rod which acts as a feedstock for the flame spraying or arc spraying process.
- Metal matrix composites are well known in the art and are formed of a metal matrix having distributed therein a divided solid filler, i.e. a fibrous or particulate material which is capable of being incorporated in and distributed through the metal matrix and which at least substantially maintains its integrity as incorporated rather than losing its form or identity by dissolution in or chemical combination with the metal.
- a divided solid filler i.e. a fibrous or particulate material which is capable of being incorporated in and distributed through the metal matrix and which at least substantially maintains its integrity as incorporated rather than losing its form or identity by dissolution in or chemical combination with the metal.
- solid filler materials that have been used for the above purpose, there may be mentioned alumina, titanium diboride, silica, zirconia, silicon carbide, silicon nitride, etc.
- Aluminum-TiB2 composites for instance, have been used for applications requiring high strength and/or high resistance to wear.
- the aluminum matrix composite materials utilized as feedstocks in the process of this invention are manufactured by techniques known in the art and typically contain 5 to 60 volume % of the refractory or ceramic filler. A range of 5 to 40 volume % of filler is preferred, with a range of 10 to 20 volume % being particularly preferred.
- the coating is preferably applied to a thickness in the range of about 50 to 5000 microns.
- the substrate to be treated is typically a ferrous metal, e.g. steel, structure.
- Other substrates that may be coated according to the invention include a heat treatable, high strength aluminum alloy structure, e.g. an AA 7000 series alloy. Such aluminum alloys are sometimes subject to stress corrosion in service.
- the surface of the substrate to be treated is preferably prepared by grit blasting, e.g. using alumina particles. It has also been found to be advantageous, but not essential, to preheat the substrate to at least about 120°C to remove surface moisture prior to application of the coating. Of course, this is not always feasible, particularly for marine applications. In some instances, it may also be advantageous to precoat the substrate by conventional metallizing with aluminium prior to the application of the aluminum matrix composite coating.
- the-composite coating formed by the method of this invention are generally superior to those obtained by the prior methods.
- the composite coatings obtained by the present invention have improved adhesion, low porosity and generally a sound structure.
- a cast ingot comprising an AA 1350 aluminum containing about 15 volume % of silicon carbide particles uniformly distributed throughout.
- the ingot was made according to the method disclosed in PCT application WO87/06624, published November 5, 1987.
- the ingot was extruded and drawn into a wire having a diameter of about 2.3 mm and this became the feedstock for an arc spray process.
- a steel substrate was used in the form of a steel cylinder and an arc was struck between a pair of feed wires formed of the above aluminum matrix composite material.
- the arc was held at a distance of approximately 10 cm from the cylinder while the cylinder was rotated, with an arc current of approximately 150 amps being used.
- a coating having a thickness of approximately 3000 microns was deposited on the cylinder.
- the product obtained was subjected to metallographic examination and the coating had good adhesion, a low porosity and a generally sound structure.
- Tests were conducted to compare a composite coating produced by the method of this invention with a composite coating produced by a prior art method.
- Example 2 Following the same general procedure as in Example 1, a cast ingot was obtained containing about 10 volume % of silicon carbide particles uniformly distributed in an AA 6061 aluminum alloy.
- the ingot was extruded and drawn into a wire having a diameter of about 2.3 mm and this was used as a feedstock for an arc spray process.
- a steel substrate in the form of a flat bar was used and an arc was struck between a pair of feed wires formed of the above ingot.
- the arc was held at a distance of about 10 cm from the steel bar with an arc current of about 150 amps being used.
- a coating having a thickness of about 3000 microns was deposited on the bar.
- An AA 6061 aluminum alloy was formed into a wire having a diameter of about 2.3 mm and this was used as a feedstock for an arc spray process.
- a steel substrate in the form of a flat bar was used and an arc was struck between a pair of feed wires formed of the above alloy.
- the arc was held at a distance of about 10 cm from the steel bar with an arc current of about 150 amps being used.
- silicon carbide particles were fed between the arcing wires to be deposited with the aluminum, the silicon carbide particles being fed at a rate of about 10 volume % relative to the aluminum alloy fed.
- a composite coating having a thickness of about 5000 microns was deposited on the bar.
- Example 2 Following the same general procedure as in Example 1, a cast ingot was formed comprising an AA-1060 aluminum containing about 15 volume % of aluminum oxides particles uniformly distributed throughout. The ingot was extruded and drawn into wires having diameters of 3.2 and 2.4 mm and this became the feedstock for a flame spray process.
- the steel samples were flame sprayed within 10 minutes after grit blasting with either 3.2 or 2.4 mm composite wire.
- the flame spray system was operated at an oxygen gas setting of 2.45 Kg./sq./cm. at 1.4 m3/h, an acetylene gas setting of 1.4 Kg./sq./cm. at 1.1 m3/h and an air setting of 4.55 Kg./sg./cm. at 1.6 m3/h.
- the spray gun was held at a distance of approximately 15 cm from the steel samples.
