Objet de l'invention [0001] La présente invention a pour objet l'obtention d'un substrat métallique présentant un revêtement à base de zinc dont la résistance à la corrosion est améliorée, plus particulièrement grâce à un ajout de magnésium dans ce revêtement.Object of the invention [0001] The object of the present invention is to obtain a metal substrate having a zinc-based coating whose corrosion resistance is improved, more particularly by adding magnesium in this coating.
Arrière-plan technologique et état de la technique [0002] De nombreuses études sont actuellement menées pour améliorer la résistance à la corrosion des revêtements de substrats métalliques à base de zinc, plus particulièrement par ajout de magnésium.BACKGROUND AND PRIOR ART [0002] Numerous studies are currently being conducted to improve the corrosion resistance of coatings of zinc-based metal substrates, more particularly by the addition of magnesium.
[0003] Le magnésium est en effet bien connu pour améliorer fortement la résistance à la corrosion. Aujourd'hui des alliages de type Zn-Al-Mg sont déposés par PVD (physical vapor déposition) ou par immersion dans un bain. Différents revêtements ont ainsi été brevetés et sont notamment connus sous des noms commerciaux du type Superdyma® (Zn, 10%Al, 3%Mg, 0,2%Si), ZAM pour Zinc- Aluminium-Magnésium (Zn, 6%A1, 3%Mg) ou Magizinc™ (Zn, 1%A1, l%Mg) , etc. Ces alliages contenant du magnésium sont cependant fragiles et se fissurent lors d'une déformation du substrat.Magnesium is indeed well known to greatly improve the corrosion resistance. Today alloys Zn-Al-Mg type are deposited by PVD (physical vapor deposition) or by immersion in a bath. Various coatings have thus been patented and are in particular known under the trade names Superdyma ® (Zn, 10% Al, 3% Mg, 0.2% Si), ZAM for Zinc-Aluminum-Magnesium (Zn, 6% A1, 3% Mg) or Magizinc ™ (Zn, 1% A1, 1% Mg), etc. These alloys containing magnesium are however fragile and crack during deformation of the substrate.

[0006] Dans la demande US 2007/240603 Al, la poudre est pulvérisée sur un substrat froid et, ensuite, le substrat subit un traitement thermique afin de fondre la poudre . [0007] Dans la demande WO 94/29030 A, le substrat est chargé électrostatiquement et préchauffé à une température inférieure à la température de fusion de la poudre qui est déposée par passage du substrat dans un lit fluidisé. Ensuite, le substrat subit un traitement thermique afin de fondre la poudre.In the application US 2007/240603 A1, the powder is sprayed on a cold substrate and then the substrate undergoes heat treatment to melt the powder. In the application WO 94/29030 A, the substrate is electrostatically charged and preheated to a temperature below the melting temperature of the powder which is deposited by passing the substrate in a fluidized bed. Subsequently, the substrate is heat treated to melt the powder.

[0009] La demande de brevet JP 02 093053 A divulgue un procédé de pulvérisation d'une poudre atomisée Zn-Mg sur une couche de Zn liquide en sortie du bain de Zn, le substrat étant une tôle d'acier. [0010] De même, la demande EP 0 769 567 Al présente un procédé de revêtement de tôle dans lequel on projette une poudre sur une couche métallique lorsqu'elle est au- moins partiellement à l'état liquide.It is also known to project metal powder (including iron or iron / zinc, etc.) on steels galvanized dipping, especially for the "galvanneal" to modify their coating. The patent application JP 02 093053 A discloses a spraying process of a Zn-Mg atomized powder on a liquid Zn layer at the outlet of the Zn bath, the substrate being a steel sheet. [0010] Similarly, the application EP 0 769 567 A1 discloses a sheet coating process in which a powder is sprayed onto a metal layer when it is at least partially in the liquid state.
[0011] II est aussi connu de déposer des revêtements à partir de poudres sous forme de gouttelettes (ce qui est appelé « thermal spray ») ou par application au rouleau (KR20010063534, JP2267250, JP2118088, JP58058263, GB1343654, JP10001766, etc.). Buts de l ' inventionIt is also known to deposit coatings from powders in the form of droplets (which is called "thermal spray") or by roller application (KR20010063534, JP2267250, JP2118088, JP58058263, GB1343654, JP10001766, etc.). . Goals of the invention
[0012] L' invention a pour but de fournir un revêtement de substrat métallique qui permette de s'affranchir des inconvénients de l'état de la technique. [0013] En particulier, l'invention a pour but d'incorporer, dans l'alliage constituant ce revêtement, du magnésium pour en améliorer essentiellement la tenue à la corrosion tout en conservant la résistance à la fissuration et en facilitant le moyen de dépôt.

In FIG. 2, the reference sign 1 represents the steel, the sign 2 the intermetallic layer and the sign 3 the coating. Detailed description of the invention
[0021] La présente invention consiste à réaliser un dépôt de poudre métallique, contenant du magnésium, sur un substrat métallique, revêtu ou non. [0022] La poudre utilisée selon l'invention est typiquement composée d'un alliage de zinc contenant de l'aluminium (0,1 à 15 %, en poids) avec une quantité importante de magnésium (0,1 à 50%, typiquement 2 à 8%, en poids). Le silicium peut également être ajouté pour limiter la réactivité de la poudre avec le substrat (max 0.2%, en poids) . Peuvent également être inclus les éléments d'alliage suivants : lithium, bismuth, étain, titane, cuivre, nickel, chrome, manganèse, molybdène, tungstène, tantale, zirconium, lanthane, cérium, strontium, bore, calcium, vanandium, etc.The present invention consists in producing a metal powder deposit, containing magnesium, on a metal substrate, coated or not. The powder used according to the invention is typically composed of a zinc alloy containing aluminum (0.1 to 15%, by weight) with a large amount of magnesium (0.1 to 50%, typically 2-8%, by weight). Silicon can also be added to limit the reactivity of the powder with the substrate (max 0.2%, by weight). The following alloying elements may also be included: lithium, bismuth, tin, titanium, copper, nickel, chromium, manganese, molybdenum, tungsten, tantalum, zirconium, lanthanum, cerium, strontium, boron, calcium, vanandium, etc.
[0023] La poudre selon l'invention peut être préparée par atomisation, mécanosynthèse ou toute autre technique appropriée. [0024] Selon des formes préférées d'exécution de l'invention, cette poudre est projetée par un gaz porteur à une vitesse comprise de préférence entre 1 et 250 m/s, est chargée électrostatiquement ou non ou est déposée, soit en plaçant (ligne de type « batch ») , soit en faisant défilerThe powder according to the invention can be prepared by atomization, mechanosynthesis or any other suitable technique. According to preferred embodiments of the invention, this powder is sprayed with a carrier gas at a speed preferably between 1 and 250 m / s, is electrostatically charged or not or is deposited, either by placing ( "batch" line), either by scrolling
(ligne de type « continu ») le substrat dans un lit fluidisé. Un exemple d'installation de dépôt de poudre à lit fluidisé selon la présente invention est représenté sur la figure 1.("Continuous" type line) the substrate in a fluidized bed. An example of a fluidized bed powder deposition installation according to the present invention is shown in FIG.
[0025] Le substrat métallique destiné à recevoir la poudre selon l'invention peut se présenter sous toute forme usuelle telle que par exemple un fil, une bande ou encore une pièce profilée comme une poutrelle ou une palplanche. Ce substrat métallique, qui peut être en acier, cuivre, laiton, aluminium, etc., peut être pré-revêtu ou non de zinc, d'aluminium ou d'un alliage zinc/aluminium par exemple .The metal substrate for receiving the powder according to the invention may be in any conventional form such as for example a wire, a strip or a profiled piece such as a beam or a sheet pile. This metal substrate, which may be steel, copper, brass, aluminum, etc., may be pre-coated or not. zinc, aluminum or a zinc / aluminum alloy for example.
[0026] Ce pré-revêtement pourra être liquide ou solide en fonction du type final de revêtement visé. [0027] En effet, si la poudre a un point de fusion inférieure à celle du pré-dépôt, la projection de poudre pourra produire un second revêtement très minceThis pre-coating may be liquid or solid depending on the final type of targeted coating. Indeed, if the powder has a lower melting point than the pre-deposit, the powder projection can produce a very thin second coating
(typiquement < lOμm) mais très riche en magnésium sur un revêtement solide. L'avantage de ce procédé est de déposer une couche riche en magnésium, connue pour sa fragilité, sur un revêtement ductile à base de zinc ou zinc/aluminium. Le revêtement final pourra ainsi avoir d'excellentes aptitudes à la déformation et à l'emboutissage, car les microfissures obtenues sur le revêtement final seront invisibles à l'œil nu et donc non gênantes vis-à-vis des critères de qualité requis pour des pièces d'aspect visible .(typically <10μm) but very rich in magnesium on a solid coating. The advantage of this process is to deposit a magnesium-rich layer, known for its fragility, on a ductile coating based on zinc or zinc / aluminum. The final coating can thus have excellent deformation and stamping capabilities, because the microcracks obtained on the final coating will be invisible to the naked eye and therefore not impeding the quality criteria required for the final coating. parts of visible aspect.
[0028] Si la poudre est projetée sur un revêtement liquide, une modification du premier revêtement sera obtenue. La figure 2 montre par exemple une coupe micrographique obtenue sur un fil 1 avant (vue du bas) et après (vue du haut) la projection d'une poudre de zinc riche en magnésium (3% en poids) et aluminium (8% en poids). Il apparaît clairement qu'un nouveau type de revêtement a été obtenu avec une couche plus riche en magnésium 3 et un intermétallique fer/zinc 2 contenant une grande quantité d'aluminium.If the powder is sprayed onto a liquid coating, a modification of the first coating will be obtained. FIG. 2 shows, for example, a micrographic section obtained on a wire 1 before (bottom view) and after (top view) the projection of a zinc powder rich in magnesium (3% by weight) and aluminum (8% by weight). weight). It is clear that a new type of coating has been obtained with a layer richer in magnesium 3 and an intermetallic iron / zinc 2 containing a large amount of aluminum.
[0029] Selon une forme d'exécution, la poudre sera de préférence non chauffée. Elle pourra cependant être préchauffée, de préférence sous atmosphère contrôlée, en dessous de son point de fusion pour améliorer la qualité finale du revêtement. De même, l'atmosphère autour de l'endroit de projection de la poudre pourra être contrôlée par exemple afin de limiter l'oxydation du revêtement et/ou de la poudre.According to one embodiment, the powder will preferably be unheated. It may, however, be preheated, preferably in a controlled atmosphere, below its melting point to improve the final quality of the coating. Similarly, the atmosphere around the projection area of the powder can be controlled for example to limit the oxidation of the coating and / or powder.
[0030] Un autre avantage du procédé selon l'invention est qu'il présente une grande souplesse d'application sans nécessité, comme dans l'état de la technique, de contrôler la composition et la température du bain de métal liquide de revêtement au trempé, ainsi que la tenue de tous les équipements immergés. [0031] Une autre application originale du procédé selon l'invention consiste à créer des couches successives en nombre au moins supérieur à deux, en particulier des couches superficielles lubrifiantes pour la mise à forme du substrat . [0032] Une autre application originale du procédé selon l'invention consiste également à déposer sur chaque face du substrat un revêtement de composition différente. [0033] Le revêtement obtenu après la projection de poudre pourra subir un traitement thermique et éventuellement une fusion pour en modifier les propriétés (structure, rugosité, brillance, etc.). Il pourra également subir un « skin-pass » (dans le cas d'une tôle) ou un tréfilage pour y imposer une rugosité déterminée, apte à recevoir d'autres revêtements du type organique (peinture, ...) ou pour améliorer l'adhérence de la poudre. [0034] Les poudres métalliques principalement à base de Zn, Al, Mg pourront être associées à d'autres poudres du type carbure ou oxyde pour augmenter la dureté du revêtement final, pour modifier son aspect (brillance, etc.) ou ses propriétés d'accrochage d'un futur revêtement organique.Another advantage of the process according to the invention is that it has a great flexibility of application without need, as in the state of the art, to control the composition and the temperature of the liquid metal coating bath. soaked, as well as holding all the equipment submerged. Another original application of the method according to the invention is to create successive layers in number at least greater than two, in particular lubricating surface layers for forming the substrate. Another original application of the method according to the invention also consists in depositing on each side of the substrate a coating of different composition. The coating obtained after the powder projection may undergo a heat treatment and possibly a melting to modify the properties (structure, roughness, gloss, etc.). It may also undergo a "skin pass" (in the case of a sheet) or wire drawing to impose a specific roughness, able to receive other coatings of the organic type (paint, ...) or to improve the adhesion of the powder. The metal powders mainly based on Zn, Al, Mg may be combined with other powders of the carbide or oxide type to increase the hardness of the final coating, to modify its appearance (gloss, etc.) or its properties. hanging of a future organic coating.
[0035] La granulométrie des poudres pourra être assez étendue (entre lμm et lOOμm) en fonction de l'épaisseur du revêtement final. Toutefois, selon l'invention, la poudre à déposer, aura de préférence toujours la plus grande granulométrie possible pour diminuer son coût de fabrication et améliorer la qualité du produit final. En effet, comme les poudres contenant du magnésium sont toujours recouvertes d'un oxyde, il convient de minimiser la pollution du revêtement final par cet oxyde en choisissant la plus grande taille possible de particule. The particle size of the powders may be quite large (between 1 μm and 100 μm) depending on the thickness of the final coating. However, according to the invention, the powder to be deposited will preferably have Always the largest particle size possible to reduce the cost of manufacturing and improve the quality of the final product. Indeed, since the magnesium-containing powders are always covered with an oxide, it is appropriate to minimize the pollution of the final coating by this oxide by choosing the largest possible particle size.
