Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un revêtement de surface sur acier martensitique pour parties frottantes par rotation.The present invention relates to a surface coating on martensitic steel for parts rubbing by rotation.
Les aciers martensitiques et particulièrement ceux qui contiennent 9 à 18% de chrome ont une grande sensibilité au grippage. Des essais comparatifs ont mis en évidence une telle différence de comportement au frottement de ces aciers par rapport aux aciers ferritiques qu'un traitement de surface s'avère nécessaire particulièrement lorsque la pièce mécanique concernée est en rotation et repose sur des coussinets ou s'appuie sur une butée. Le moindre défaut de lubrification peut en effet entrainer une détérioration presque instantanée des soies porteuses.Martensitic steels and particularly those containing 9 to 18% chromium have a high sensitivity to seizure. Comparative tests have shown such a difference in the friction behavior of these steels compared to ferritic steels that surface treatment is necessary, particularly when the mechanical part concerned is in rotation and rests on bearings or rests on a stop. The slightest lubrication fault can indeed lead to an almost instantaneous deterioration of the supporting bristles.
Dans le cas d'un rotor de turbine en acier martensitique, ce traitement est impérieux et préviendra tout risque de grippage.In the case of a martensitic steel turbine rotor, this treatment is imperative and will prevent any risk of seizure.
Il est déjà connu de revêtir les surfaces frottantes de chrome mais le dépôt de ce revêtement est relativement onéreux et nécessite une installation spéciale.It is already known to coat rubbing surfaces with chromium, but depositing this coating is relatively expensive and requires special installation.
Le revêtement selon l'invention présentant un faible coefficient de frottement et une bonne adhérence et facile à déposer est caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte une matrice NiMo dans laquelle sont noyés des grains de Cr₃C₂. Il est important que la matrice ne comporte pas de chrome car cela fragilise la matrice.The coating according to the invention having a low coefficient of friction and good adhesion and easy to deposit is characterized in that it comprises a NiMo matrix in which grains of Cr₃C₂ are embedded. It is important that the matrix does not contain chromium as this weakens the matrix.
Le grain de Cr₃C₂ servent à donner de la dureté à la matrice ductile NiMo.The grain of Cr₃C₂ are used to give hardness to the NiMo ductile matrix.
De préférence la composition en poids du revêtement est la suivante:
- Cr₃C₂
- : 15 à 25%
- Mo
- :15 à 25%
- Ni
- : 55 à 65%
- Cr₃C₂
- : 15 to 25%
- Mo
- : 15 to 25%
- Or
- : 55 to 65%
La granulométrie de la matrice MoNi est de 20 à 90 µm.The particle size of the MoNi matrix is 20 to 90 μm.
Selon un perfectionnement intéressant de l'invention le Cr₃C₂ comporte 2% en poids de grains submicroniques. Ces grains se retrouvent en majeure partie au voisinage de la surface et jouent un rôle protecteur assurant une forme de graissage sec.According to an advantageous improvement of the invention, the Cr₃C₂ comprises 2% by weight of submicron grains. These grains are found mainly in the vicinity of the surface and play a protective role ensuring a form of dry lubrication.
L'invention va maintenant être décrite plus en détail en se référant à un mode de réalisation particulier cité à titre d'exemple non limitatif et représenté par les dessins annexés.The invention will now be described in more detail with reference to a particular embodiment cited by way of nonlimiting example and represented by the accompanying drawings.
La figure 1 représente le schéma d'un dispositif pour déposer le revêtement selon l'invention.Figure 1 shows the diagram of a device for depositing the coating according to the invention.

Le mélange gazeux passe de la chambre 2 dans un conduit 4 entourant le tube 3.The gas mixture passes from chamber 2 into a conduit 4 surrounding the tube 3.
L'extrémité du conduit 4 et l'extrémité du tube 3 débouchent à l'extérieur ou se produit une flamme 5. La poudre traverse la flamme et est projetée à grande vitesse par le gaz porteur.The end of the conduit 4 and the end of the tube 3 open to the outside where a
La pièce a revêtir (non représentée) est disposée à faible distance (200-400mm) de la torche et celle-ci se déplace devant la pièce par un système automatique d'avance.The part to be coated (not shown) is placed at a short distance (200-400mm) from the torch and it moves in front of the part by an automatic advance system.
Dans l'application à un rotor de turbine, celui-ci est monté sur un tour horizontal, et est entraîné à une faible vitesse de rotation.In the application to a turbine rotor, this is mounted on a horizontal lathe, and is driven at a low speed of rotation.
La préparation des surfaces à revêtir est connue de l'homme de l'art: dégraissage suivi de flambage, sablage en vue de favoriser l'accrochage mécanique du revêtement.The preparation of the surfaces to be coated is known to those skilled in the art: degreasing followed by buckling, sandblasting in order to promote the mechanical attachment of the coating.
La projection thermique de la poudre est réalisée selon un mode dynamique: rotor en rotation, torche se déplaçant horizontalement pour les soies du rotor, ou verticalement pour les faces de la butée. L'épaisseur optimale du revêtement est comprise entre 30 et 60 µm.The thermal projection of the powder is carried out in a dynamic mode: rotor in rotation, torch moving horizontally for the bristles of the rotor, or vertically for the faces of the stop. The optimum coating thickness is between 30 and 60 µm.
La poudre est un alliage spécifique, particulièrement adapté à une application pour des rotors de turbine.Powder is a specific alloy, particularly suitable for an application for turbine rotors.
Les proportions au mélange de poudres sont les suivants (en % du poids).
- Cr₃C₂
- : 20% ± 5%
- Ni
- : 60% ± 5%
- Mo
- : 20% ± 5%
- Cr₃C₂
- : 20% ± 5%
- Or
- : 60% ± 5%
- Mo
- : 20% ± 5%
La granulométrie de la poudre doit être choisie pour qu'au moins 90% en poids du carbure de chrome utilisé soit obtenu à partir d'un Cr₃C₂ submicronique et sphérique puis aggloméré et fritté à une taille de 10 à 30 µm.The particle size of the powder must be chosen so that at least 90% by weight of the chromium carbide used is obtained from a submicron and spherical Cr₃C₂ then agglomerated and sintered to a size of 10 to 30 μm.
La granulométrie du mélange NiMo sera de 20 µm à 90 µm.The particle size of the NiMo mixture will be from 20 µm to 90 µm.
Le revêtement 6 de la pièce 7 (voir figure 2) comporte des gros grains frittés 8 de Cr₃C₂ qui assurent la dureté du revêtement. La matrice 9 de NiMo constitués de grains de 20µm à 90µm est ductile si bien que s'il y a un incident de graissage le revêtement réduira le frottement. De plus selon une réalisation préférentielle de l'invention le revêtement comporte des grains submicroniques 10 de Cr₃C₂ de préférence 2% en poids du Cr₃C₂.The
Ces grains 10 jouent un rôle protecteur assurant une forme de graissage "sec" au voisinage des surfaces de contacts en rotation (arbre-coussinet).These
