DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0051] Next, the disclosure will be further described in detail in combination with accompanying drawings, so that those skilled in the art can implement it with reference to the words in the specification.
[0052] A thermal spray coating preparation technology can adopt atmospheric plasma spraying (APS), flame spraying, supersonic atmospheric plasma spraying (SAPS), etc.
[0053] In the spraying process of atmospheric plasma jet flow, continuous overlapping and stacking is performed between particles so as to form the coating, and therefore pores are easily produced. Moreover, two or more than two materials can be simultaneously sprayed by sufficiently utilizing the characteristic of temperature gradient of plasma jet flow to form the composite coating. The defects such as pores and microcracks in the coating are important criteria to evaluate the quality of the coating, but it is also found that appropriate pores and microcracks existing in the coating can improve the heat resistance of the coating. For a heat-resistant coating, it needs to have both good heat resistance and good bonding strength. Generally, the bonding strength can be tested by a universal tensile testing machine. For the heat resistance of the coating, the thermal conductivity and the thermal expansion coefficient of the coating can be measured by laser heat conduction.
[0054] In addition, the resin matrix composite belongs to a polymer material, which often has a heat resistance temperature, and therefore a method for preparing a protective coating on the surface of the resin matrix composite (also called the matrix) is generally a low-heat-source coating preparation method such as flame spraying, cold spraying and solution-gel spraying.
[0055] The following three solutions are explored for the feasibility of preparing a ceramic protective coating on the surface of the resin matrix composite by using an atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) technology: solution 1 is to prepare a double-layer structure coating of “metal transition layer + ceramic surface layer” by using low-melting-point metals such as Al and Zn, as shown in
[0056] However, the disclosure overcomes the above technical bias and provides a preparation method of a composite coating of a resin matrix composite, which is specifically described as follows:
1. Preparation of Ceramic-Resin Composite Powder
[0057] (1) The composite powder can be in two forms, namely, uniform distribution of ceramics and resins in a single particle (
[0058] (2) In particular, the resin in the composite powder is a thermosetting resin, and the prepared composite powder is a semi-thermosetting composite powder. The ceramic material used in the disclosure is Al.sub.2O.sub.3 ceramic, and the thermosetting resin used is phenolic resin (PF), but not limited to the above ceramics and resin materials.
[0059] Because the resin used in the composite powder in the disclosure is the thermoplastic resin PF and a certain curing agent is added, the curing reaction will begin to occur when being heated at 150° C., so the prepared composite powder is the semi-thermosetting composite powder. This composite powder can not only slow down the thermal expansion difference between the coating and the matrix and greatly improve the bonding strength between the coating and the matrix, but also avoid the introduction of conductive materials so as to improve the reliability of the resin matrix composite in the field of insulation.
[0060] In particular, the ceramic particles in the outer layer of the composite powder with a “core-shell” structure can greatly keep the inner core resin not to be decomposed. The synchronous melting of ceramics and resin can be realized through the heat transfer of the ceramic, which is crucial to improvement of the quality of coating.
2. The Composite Powder is Sprayed by Supersonic Atmospheric Plasma Spraying SAPS
[0061] Through experiments, it is verified that the preparation of the coating by using thermal spray coating preparation technologies such as atmospheric plasma spraying, flame spraying and supersonic atmospheric plasma spraying (SAPS) cannot avoid the thermal decomposition of the resin in the semi-setting composite powder. However, it is found that the coating with excellent quality can be prepared by spraying the semi-setting composite powder only with the SAPS technology. The coating with excellent quality cannot be prepared by using other spraying methods or other forms of composite powders. The analysis shows that: (1) because SAPS has a high heat source and has temperature gradient, and therefore can make the ceramic particles fully melted and meanwhile shorten the heating time and heating distance to facilitate the synchronous melting of ceramics and resin; (2) because SAPS has a higher jet velocity, in the process of preparing the coating, on the one hand, the sufficiently melted particles can more sufficiently spread after impacting the matrix; on the one hand, the sufficiently molten particles can impact the matrix at a high kinetic energy so as to be flattened and increase the bonding strengths between particles and between the coating and the matrix.
3. The Disclosure Adopts a “Double-Channel and Double-Temperature-Zone” Powder Feeding Technology
[0062] “Double-channel double-temperature-zone” powder feeding refers to feeding spraying powders into jet flow zones at different temperatures, which has the advantages that (1) a variety of spraying feed materials are synchronously melted; (2) the composite coating containing various components can be prepared; (3) the coating with continuous gradient change in components can be prepared.
[0063] In the atmospheric plasma spraying (APS), the “double-channel double-temperature-zone” powder feeding technology is often used. The position of the second powder feeder is close to the outlet of the nozzle, which is as shown by the spraying powder 2 as shown in
4. Powder Feeding
[0064] In the disclosure, the spraying powder for preparing the coating is not only the prepared ceramic resin composite powder but also the pure ceramic powder. The specific method is as follows: the pure ceramic powders are fed into the spray gun in a manner of feeding the powder inside the spray gun; the ceramic-resin composite powders are fed into jet flow in a manner of feeding the powder outside the spray gun.
[0065] In the process of spraying: (1) the pure ceramic powders and the composite powders can be simultaneously added, and the addition amount of each powder can be changed so that the coating component realizes continuous gradient change, as shown in
5. Key Parameters for Coating Preparation
[0066] In the disclosure, the key parameters include: powder spraying, matrix pretreatment, spraying voltage, spraying current, spraying distance, second powder feeding distance, second powder feeding angle, matrix temperature, powder feeding proportion and gas flow.
[0067] Innovation description: the disclosure explores the optimization parameters of SAPS spraying of the ceramic-resin composite coating on the surface of the resin matrix composite. Combined with the process flow chart of
[0071] In addition,
[0072] Preferably, step (1) in the method for preparing the Al.sub.2O.sub.3-PF composite coating is as follows: [0073] (1-1) Al.sub.2O.sub.3, thermosetting PF and hexamethylenetetramine (a curing agent) are mixed, granulated via agglomeration, dried and formed; the powder comprises 50.000% of Al.sub.2O.sub.3, 45.455% of PF and 4.545% of hexamethylenetetramine (proportions are calculated based on a separate ratio of the thermosetting resin to the curing agent, that is, 1000 kg of thermosetting resin requires 100 kg of curing agent); [0074] (1-2) the composite powders are screened through a 100-mesh powder sieve to obtain the composite powder with a particle size of 0.3-70 .Math.m, as shown in
[0077] Preferably, step (3) in the method for preparing the Al.sub.2O.sub.3-PF composite coating is as follows: [0078] (3-1) under the spraying parameters, the surface of a workpiece is sprayed with a supersonic atmospheric plasma spray gun. The “linear reciprocating” spraying method is adopted in the spraying process, and the moving speed of the spray gun is 40 m/min; [0079] (3-2) the spraying times are 50-60 times, and the thickness of the obtained coating is about 0.6-0.8 mm (in which 0.8 mm is the thickness required for lathe grinding);
[0080] More preferably, the spraying parameters in step (3) are as follows: a main spraying gas is argon and the gas flow is 60 L•min.sup.-1; a secondary gas is hydrogen, and the gas flow is 15 L•min.sup.-1; a powder feeding gas is argon, and a spraying distance is 150 mm; the powder feeding amount of the two spraying feed materials is pure A1.sub.2O.sub.3: the composite powder is 3.6:12 g•min.sup.-1; a spraying voltage is 100 V; a spraying current is 420 A; the second powder feeder has an axial distance a of 100 mm, a radial distance r of 2.5 mm, and a jet angle θ of 90°, and the temperature of the matrix is 120° C. The test of the more preferred embodiment can be seen in embodiment 2 and
[0081] Preferably, step (4) in the method for preparing Al.sub.2O.sub.3-PF composite coating is as follows: [0082] (4-1) the melting point of pure Al.sub.2O.sub.3 is about 2050° C., so the pure Al.sub.2O.sub.3 powders are fed in a manner of feeding the powder inside the spray gun, and melted and obtains a flight speed in high-temperature high-speed plasma jet flow; the Al.sub.2O.sub.3-PF composite powders are fed in a manner of feeding the powder outside the spray gun and are fed in a “low-temperature zone” so as to ensure that the PF resin is melted, but not decomposed by heating; [0083] (4-2) in the process of spraying, the pure Al.sub.2O.sub.3 and the Al.sub.2O.sub.3-PF composite powders are sprayed once respectively in a manner of alternately spraying; [0084] (4-3) the pure Al.sub.2O.sub.3 powders have an ideal melting degree and a flight speed under the action of high-temperature high-speed plasma jet flow. The Al.sub.2O.sub.3-PF composite powders are in a “low-temperature zone”, thus the Al.sub.2O.sub.3 in the composite powder is insufficient melted, but the PF resin is kept by Al.sub.2O.sub.3 as much as possible and well melted, so as to form a coating structure with Al.sub.2O.sub.3 as the skeleton and filled with the PF resin, thereby improving the heat resistance and bonding strength of the coating.
[0085] Correspondingly, the disclosure also provides a preparation device of a composite coating for a resin matrix composite for implementing each step in the previous preparation method, that is, the preparation device can include, but is not limited to, a spray granulating device for preparing the composite powder of the disclosure, a powder sieve, a device for pretreatment of a matrix, and an exemplary SAPS spraying device shown in
[0086] The following examples all use the same Al.sub.2O.sub.3-PF composite powder, matrix surface pretreatment and optimized spraying parameters, but the proportions of the powder feeding amounts of the pure Al.sub.2O.sub.3 in the first powder feeder and the Al.sub.2O.sub.3-PF composite powder in the second powder feeder in different embodiments are different.
