Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for masking a component zone of a component which is coated with a thermal spray coating.
- the present invention relates to the masking and partial coating of components manufactured and used in the aerospace industry, such as gas turbines or aircraft engines.
- the invention further relates to a method which uses the above-mentioned device for masking and partially coating component surfaces by thermal spraying, in particular components that are manufactured and used in the aerospace industry, such as gas turbines or aircraft engines.
- Thermal spraying is a coating process in which a spray additive is continuously melted and spun onto a surface to be coated. Due to the accumulation of flattened and lamellar droplets, superimposed layers which form the so-called sprayed layer, which may be harder, more brittle and more porous than the starting material, are formed on the surface to be coated.
- thermal spraying different spray methods are summarized, which differ in the type of spray additive, the production or the energy carrier such as arc spraying, laser spraying, flame spraying, high-velocity flame spraying or plasma spraying in a vacuum or under a controlled
- the characteristic properties, such as the porosity, the structure of the structure, the density, the phase composition, the hardness, the modulus of elasticity and the residual stress of the layers formed by this process depend on many parameters, including thermal energy , the powder material used, the kinetic energy, the type of process gases, the substrate material to be coated and the pretreatment thereof.
- thermal spraying is, on the one hand, that each material can both be sprayed and sprayed, that, with few exceptions, the materials to be coated remain thermally unchanged and, above all, that almost every component size and component geometry can be coated , Furthermore, good reproducibility, high quality standards and excellent automation of the coating process can be achieved with this method. Finally, several elements can be included or combined in the sprayed layers, so that the thermal spraying is characterized by a very flexible use.
- thermal spraying processes are of great importance both in the manufacture of new parts and in the design, as well as in the repair of high-quality worn parts.
- the fields of application and applications of thermal spraying are therefore diverse and range from decorative layers for household and kitchen appliances on emergency running and wear protective layers in automotive technology to Abst-, high-temperature protection and expedikorrektur füren in aerospace engineering.
- the overlay mask consists of a multilayer cover film consisting of a metallic and a resin film, which is attached to large area uncoated parts.
- Such support masks are not suitable for more complicated surfaces to be protected without additional conformance and mounting options and can not be reused as a rule.
- No. 5,203,944 discloses, for example, the use of a plurality of masks for constructing a three-dimensional structure which consist of a plastic film which on the one hand comprises a removable carrier material and on the other hand an adhesive surface.
- a disadvantage is that material deterioration of the adhesive tapes and adhesives occurs at higher temperatures.
- masking consisting of adhesive tapes or reinforced adhesive tapes can be destroyed frequently and quickly in the course of the spraying process. They must therefore be removed frequently and replaced.
- the adhesive residues left behind by the adhesive tapes or the like must be removed on the protected component surfaces by means of complicated cleaning processes, mechanical or chemical. This required surface treatment is associated with a high technical and time and therefore increased costs.
- the chemicals used in the cleaning process are generally polluting and the risk of damaging the surfaces in a mechanical process is very high.
- Another covering method known from the prior art provides for a masking of a lacquer or of a binder-containing mixture to be applied to the areas to be protected, as described, for example, in US Pat. No. 4,464,430.
- the strongly adhering coating material must be removed from the masking or the masking itself. This is usually done by means of solvents that cause costly disposal measures and must be disposed of together with the resulting waste as hazardous waste.
- Common masks are thus subject in thermal spraying either a high adhesion of the coating material and are therefore only temporarily dimensionally stable or they have a surface on which no coating material can adhere.
- a cleaning of the masks used after the thermal spraying is usually possible, but associated with an intensive time and cost.
- the unfavorable bouncing of the spray particles on the masking surface causes undesirable degradation of the film quality at the areas adjacent to the masking.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to provide an apparatus and a method for masking of components to be thermally sprayed, in particular components for the aerospace industry, such as for gas turbines or aircraft engines, which avoids the disadvantages of the prior art , Furthermore, a solution is to be provided which enables a safe, fast, clean, reproducible and cost-effective partial coating of the components.
- the device according to the invention for masking components to be thermally sprayed consists at least in part of a material which is elastically deformable at room temperature and is produced in a slight undersize in a form suitable for the partial regions of the component to be protected. Due to the at least partially possible elastic deformation of the device at room temperature, a simple, material-protecting, and tight fitting attachment of the device to the corresponding pre-sprayed to be protected components is guaranteed. Due to the at least partial elasticity and the slight undersize of the device, no fastening devices are needed, neither on the component nor on the device itself, to keep the device in the intended location.
- the device according to the invention for masking components to be sprayed during the injection process has at least one inelastic surface on which the spray particles impinging on the device surface adhere and which are thereby prevented from entering the adjacent sprayed layers.
- an undesirable deterioration of the quality of the adjacent to the device spray surfaces is prevented.
- the device is finally easy, fast and residue-free by elastic deformation of the protected component surfaces can be separated. The risk of damaging the component surface is thereby ensured by the simple attachment of the device to the component and by the absence of a surface treatment of the protected component zones after the thermal spraying process.
- the device is degraded undamaged by at least one thermal spraying process of the component to be protected and is used again in a new thermal spraying process.
- a device consisting partly of one of the materials listed below and of a non-elastic part, for example one or more metal surfaces, which are held together and form the device for masking.
- the device material consists of at least one of the following materials: silicone resin, thermally crosslinkable elastomers, thermosets, thermoplastics, natural rubber with additives, silicone elastomers, polyamide (PA), polycarbonate (PC), polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) ), Polyoxymethylene (POM), polytetrafluoromethylene (PTFE), silicone polymers, vinyl-silicone polymers, polyesters, epoxy resin, quartz silica, dimethylvinyl, xylenes, polyethers, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polystyrene (PS ), Polypropylene (PP), polysulfides. Ethylene-propylene rubber.
- silicone elastomers can be easily created on a positive mold with appropriate undersize and simply use in the inventive way by a different choice of the impact surface material.
- a plastic may be used which is elastic at low temperatures and at higher temperature to the 8O 0 C 5 as it is present during thermal spraying hardens.
- the masking can be easily attached and removed, but is so inelastic by the curing during the injection process that it does not come to bounce off the impinging spray particles.
- a reversible plastic which has the abovementioned properties but which reacts at low temperature, ie after cooling becomes elastic. This simplifies the removal and reuse of the mask and also facilitates the cleaning of the device.
- the device is at least partially reinforced with metallic, glass or plastic fibers.
- metallic fiber laid parallel to one another increases the stability of the device in that direction, but retains the elasticity perpendicular to that direction.
- a cylindrical device for masking a part of a cylinder with embedded and non-elastic fibers along its longitudinal axis would, for example, be attached to this cylinder by radial elastic deformation.
- At least a part of the surface of the device for masking is provided with an additional protective layer which promotes adherence of the spray particles during the thermal spraying process and which can be sprayed from the surface of the device by a suitable mechanical and / or detach chemical cleaning process.
- This additional layer consists, for example, of a solvent-sensitive lacquer, of a water-receptive layer, of a dried, previously sprayed-on emulsion which can be dissolved either with water or with a solvent.
- a method for masking components to be thermally sprayed provides a device, which is at least partially elastic at room temperature and undersized with respect to a component to be protected, in order to improve the quality of the sprayed layers adjacent to the masking and to ensure a reproducible production process.
- elastic deformation of the corresponding device is attached to the corresponding component and is held tightly lying in this position during the injection process due to their elastic properties and their small undersize. This is especially for geometrically difficult components, such as turbine blades, the convex and have concave profile curvatures and torsions over the blade length, particularly advantageous.
- the device is cleaned after completion of the thermal spraying process and subsequent cooling and degradation of the sprayed component in a cleaning process of the spray coating thereon.
- a cleaning method is to elastically deform the device so that the sprayed layer peels off its surface.
- Another cleaning method includes, for example, holding the device to be cleaned in a water or solvent bath whose temperature is varied.
- Another cleaning method is to use ultra-sonic to aid in the cleaning procedure.
- Fig. 1 is a schematic representation of a component to be partially coated on the lower part of a device according to the invention for masking a component zone is mounted;
- Fig. 2 is a schematic detail view of the device of Fig. 1 prior to its attachment to the component.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of a component 2 to be partially coated by means of thermal spraying, to the lower part of which a device 1 according to the invention for covering the lower component zone is attached.
- the component 2 is the blade of a rotor of a gas turbine, wherein only the blade 2 was shown.
- FIG. 1 shows the length of the blade D and the length of the device L e applied therefrom for masking a component zone.
- the upper rear portion of the blade is coated with a thermally sprayed wear resistant layer of chromium carbide nickel aluminum.
- the device 1 for masking the lower part of the blade 2 is made entirely of polyamide and its height corresponds to half the blade height.
- FIG. 2 shows a schematic representation of a device 1 according to the invention for masking a component zone before it is attached to the blade 2.
- FIG. 2 also shows the length LN of the elastic device not yet attached.
- the shape of the device 1 corresponds to the shape of the airfoil 2, wherein the device 1 is hollow over its entire height.
- the shape of the recess also corresponds to that of the airfoil 2, wherein the device 1 is provided with a lower dimension, so that LN ⁇ L e applies and thus the recess also has smaller dimensions than the airfoil 2.
