Thermische Spritzverfahren zeichnen sich im wesentlichen dadurch aus, daß sie gleichmäßig aufgetragene Beschichtungen ermöglichen. Durch thermische Spritzverfahren aufgetragene Beschichtungen können durch Variation der Spritzmaterialien an unterschiedliche Anforderungen angepaßt werden. Die Spritzmaterialien können dabei in Form von Drähten, Stäben oder als Pulver verarbeitet werden. Beim thermischen Spritzen kann zusätzlich eine thermische Nachbehandlung vorgesehen sein.Thermal spray processes are essentially characterized in that they enable evenly applied coatings. By thermal spraying Coatings can be applied by varying the spray materials can be adapted to different requirements. The spray materials can can be processed in the form of wires, rods or as powder. With thermal In addition, thermal post-treatment can be provided for spraying.

In jüngerer Zeit wurde darüber hinaus ein weiteres thermisches Spritzverfahren entwickelt, welches auch als Kaltgasspritzen bezeichnet wird. Es handelt sich dabei um eine Art Weiterentwicklung des Hochgeschwindigkeits-Flammspritzens. Dieses Verfahren ist beispielsweise in der europäischen Patentschrift EP 0 484 533 B1 beschrieben. Beim Kaltgasspritzen kommt ein Zusatzwerkstoff in Pulverform zum Einsatz. Die Pulverpartikel werden beim Kaltgasspritzen jedoch nicht im Gasstrahl geschmolzen. Vielmehr liegt die Temperatur des Gasstrahles unterhalb des Schmelzpunktes der Zusatzwerkstoffpulverpartikel (EP 0 484 533 B1). Im Kaltgasspritzverfahren wird also ein im Vergleich zu den herkömmlichen Spritzverfahren "kaltes" bzw. ein vergleichsweise kälteres Gas verwendet. Gleichwohl wird das Gas aber ebenso wie in den herkömmlichen Verfahren erwärmt, aber in der Regel lediglich auf Temperaturen unterhalb des Schmelzpunktes der Pulverpartikel des Zusatzwerkstoffes.Recently, another thermal spraying process has also been developed which is also known as cold gas spraying. It is about a kind of further development of high-speed flame spraying. This The method is described, for example, in European Patent EP 0 484 533 B1 described. A filler material in powder form is used for cold gas spraying. However, the powder particles are not melted in a gas jet during cold gas spraying. Rather, the temperature of the gas jet is below the melting point the filler material powder particle (EP 0 484 533 B1). In the cold gas spray process is a "cold" or "cold" used a comparatively colder gas. Nonetheless, the gas does the same as heated in the conventional methods, but usually only at temperatures below the melting point of the powder particles of the filler material.

Das Gas oder Gasgemisch, mit dessen Hilfe der Zusatzwerkstoff auf die zu beschichtende Oberfläche des Substratwerkstoffes geleitet wird, wird üblicherweise in einem oder mehreren Gasdruckbehälter, beispielsweise einem oder mehreren Gastanks, unter hohem Druck gespeichert. Im Falle der Speicherung als tiefkalt verflüssigter Gase ist üblicherweise zunächst eine Hochdruckverdampfer vorhanden, in welchem das verflüssigte Gas in den gasförmigen Aggregatzustand überführt wird. Außerdem ist eine Druckerhöhung erforderlich.The gas or gas mixture with the aid of which the filler material is applied to the material to be coated Surface of the substrate material is usually conducted in one or more gas pressure vessels, for example one or more gas tanks, stored under high pressure. In the case of storage as cryogenic liquefied Gases is usually initially available in a high pressure evaporator the liquefied gas is converted into the gaseous state. Furthermore a pressure increase is required.

Als Gase für das thermische Spritzen kommen beispielsweise Stickstoff, Helium, Argon, Neon, Krypton, Xenon, ein Wasserstoff enthaltendes Gas, ein kohlenstoffhaltiges Gas, insbesondere Kohlendioxid, Sauerstoff, ein Sauerstoff enthaltendes Gas, Luft oder Mischungen der vorgenannten Gase in Frage. Neben den aus der EP 0 484 533 B1 bekannten Gasen Luft und/oder Helium eignen sich auch für das den pulverförmigen Zusatzwerkstoff tragende Gas ein Stickstoff, Argon, Neon, Krypton, Xenon, Sauerstoff, ein Wasserstoff enthaltendes Gas, ein kohlenstoffhaltiges Gas, insbesondere Kohlendioxid, oder Mischungen der vorgenannten Gase und Mischungen dieser Gase mit Helium. Der Anteil des Helium am Gesamtgas kann bis zu 90 Vol.-% betragen. Bevorzugt wird ein Heliumanteil von 10 bis 50 Vol.-% im Gasgemisch eingehalten.For example, nitrogen, helium, Argon, neon, krypton, xenon, a gas containing hydrogen, a carbon-containing one Gas, especially carbon dioxide, oxygen, an oxygen-containing Gas, air or mixtures of the aforementioned gases in question. In addition to those from the EP 0 484 533 B1 known gases air and / or helium are also suitable for the powdered filler gas carrying a nitrogen, argon, neon, krypton, Xenon, oxygen, a gas containing hydrogen, a carbon-containing gas, in particular carbon dioxide, or mixtures of the aforementioned gases and Mixtures of these gases with helium. The proportion of helium in the total gas can be up to 90% by volume. A helium content of 10 to 50% by volume is preferred Gas mixture observed.

Es hat sich gezeigt, daß durch den Einsatz von unterschiedlichen Gasen zum Beschleunigen und Tragen des pulverförmigen Zusatzwerkstoffes die Flexibilität und Wirksamkeit des thermischen Spritzverfahrens wesentlich vergrößert werden kann. Die so hergestellten Schichten haften sehr gut auf den verschiedensten Substratwerkstoffen, beispielsweise auf Metall, Metallegierungen, Keramik, Glas, Kunststoffe und Verbundwerkstoffe. Die Beschichtungen sind von hoher Güte, weisen eine außerordentlich geringe Porosität auf und besitzen extrem glatte Spritzoberflächen, so daß sich in der Regel eine Nacharbeitung erübrigt. Die erwähnten Gase besitzen eine ausreichende Dichte und Schallgeschwindigkeit, um die erforderlichen hohen Geschwindigkeiten der Pulverpartikel gewährleisten zu können. Das Gas kann dabei inerte und/oder reaktive Gase enthalten. Mit den genannten Gasen ist die Herstellung von sehr dichten und besonders gleichmäßigen Beschichtungen möglich, welche sich außerdem durch ihre Härte und Festigkeit auszeichnen. Die Schichten weisen extrem geringe Oxidgehalte auf. Sie besitzen keine oder zumindest keine ausgeprägte Textur, d.h. es gibt keine Vorzugsorientierung der einzelnen Körner oder Kristalle. Das Substrat wird ferner nicht durch eine Flamme oder ein Plasma erwärmt, so daß keine oder nur extrem geringe Veränderungen am Grundkörper und auch kein Verzug von Werkstücken durch Wärmespannungen infolge des thermischen Spritzens auftreten.It has been shown that by using different gases to accelerate and carrying the powdered filler the flexibility and Effectiveness of the thermal spray process can be increased significantly. The layers produced in this way adhere very well to a wide variety of substrate materials, for example on metal, metal alloys, ceramics, glass, plastics and composite materials. The coatings are of high quality, have an extraordinary low porosity and have extremely smooth spray surfaces, so that rework is usually not necessary. The gases mentioned have one sufficient density and speed of sound to meet the required high To be able to ensure speeds of the powder particles. The gas can contain inert and / or reactive gases. With the gases mentioned is the manufacture of very dense and particularly uniform coatings possible, which also characterized by their hardness and strength. The layers point extremely low oxide levels. They have none, or at least none Texture, i.e. there is no preferred orientation of the individual grains or crystals. The Furthermore, substrate is not heated by a flame or a plasma, so none or only extremely minor changes to the base body and also no distortion of Workpieces occur due to thermal stresses due to thermal spraying.

Um sich für die Güte der gespritzten Schicht nachteilig auswirkende Druckschwankungen des Gases oder Gasgemisches zu verhindern, kann das Gas oder Gasgemisch gepuffert werden. Dabei ist denkbar, die Heißgaserzeugung direkt im Pufferbehälter vorzunehmen, d.h. das zur Pufferung gespeicherte Gas oder Gasgemisch im Pufferbehälter zu erhitzen. Dies erscheint vorteilhaft, da in diesem Fall mit Hilfe einer Steuereinheit leicht der gewünschte Druck und die gewünschte Temperatur für den das pulverförmigen Zusatzwerkstoff tragenden Gasstrahl eingestellt werden können. In order to have pressure fluctuations which have an adverse effect on the quality of the sprayed layer To prevent the gas or gas mixture, the gas or gas mixture be buffered. It is conceivable that the hot gas generation directly in the Buffer tank, i.e. the gas or gas mixture stored for buffering to heat in the buffer tank. This seems advantageous because in this case with With the help of a control unit, the desired pressure and temperature can be easily achieved for the gas jet carrying the powdered filler material can.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, das eingangs genannte Verfahren und die Vorrichtung weiterzubilden, insbesondere die Effizienz und die Flexibilität zu vergrößern.The present invention is based on the object of the method mentioned at the outset and to further develop the device, in particular the efficiency and the Increase flexibility.

Die gestellte Aufgabe wird für das Verfahren dadurch gelöst, daß das Gas oder Gasgemisch nach Verlassen des Gaspufferbehälters erhitzt wird.The task is solved for the method in that the gas or Gas mixture is heated after leaving the gas buffer container.

Die gestellte Aufgabe wird für die Vorrichtung dadurch gelöst, daß die Vorrichtung zum Erhitzen des Gases oder Gasgemisches in Strömungsrichtung nach dem Gaspufferbehälter angeordnet ist.The object is achieved for the device in that the device for heating the gas or gas mixture in the flow direction after the Gas buffer container is arranged.

Der Vorteil der Erfindung liegt darin, daß einerseits nur das direkt benötigte Gas und nicht die gesamte gepufferte Gasmenge erhitzt wird und somit die Heißgaserzeugung effizienter, leichter einstellbar und kostengünstiger wird.The advantage of the invention is that on the one hand only the gas and directly required not the entire amount of buffered gas is heated and thus the hot gas generation becomes more efficient, easier to set and cheaper.

Dadurch, daß das Gas oder Gasgemisch unmittelbar vor der Vorrichtung zum Vermischen des pulverförmigen Zusatzwerkstoffes mit dem Gas oder Gasgemisch erhitzt wird, kann die energetische Effizienz weiter und zusätzlich die Flexibilität erhöht werden. Denn bei der Heißgaserzeugung im Pufferbehälter muß die Gasleitung zwischen Pufferbehälter und Vorrichtung zum Vermischen des pulverförmigen Zusatzwerkstoffes mit dem Gas oder Gasgemisch thermisch isoliert werden und/oder der Wärmeverlust in dieser Leitung beim Erhitzen des Gases oder Gasgemisches berücksichtigt werden. Insbesondere eine thermische Isolierung führt aber zu dicken relativ steifen und wenig oder gar nicht biegsamen Leitungen. Diese schränken die Flexibilität ein und reduzieren oder verhindern die Beweglichkeit der Vorrichtung zum Vermischen des pulverförmigen Zusatzwerkstoffes mit dem Gas oder Gasgemisch. Mit der Erfindung wird ermöglicht, daß die Vorrichtung zum Vermischen des pulverförmigen Zusatzwerkstoffes mit dem Gas oder Gasgemisch, beispielsweise eine Spritzpistole, auch gegebenenfalls von Hand geführt werden kann.The fact that the gas or gas mixture immediately before the device for Mixing the powdered filler material with the gas or gas mixture is heated, the energy efficiency can further and also the flexibility increase. Because when generating hot gas in the buffer tank, the gas line must between the buffer container and the device for mixing the powder Filler material with the gas or gas mixture are thermally insulated and / or the heat loss in this line when heating the gas or gas mixture be taken into account. In particular, thermal insulation leads to thick relatively stiff and little or not flexible cables. These restrict the Flexibility and reduce or prevent the mobility of the device for Mixing the powdered filler material with the gas or gas mixture. With the invention it is possible that the device for mixing the powdered Filler material with the gas or gas mixture, for example a Spray gun, can also be carried out by hand if necessary.

Die Heißgaserzeugung kann mittels einer elektrischen Widerstandsheizung erfolgen. Diese bringt den Vorteil einer gut handhabbaren und wenig aufwendigen Heizung. Das Gas oder Gasgemisch kann aber auch mittels eines Flammbrenners oder mittels eines Plasmabrenners erhitzt werden. Diese Möglichkeiten sind in der Regel energetisch besonders günstig. Darüber hinaus kann auch eine induktive Erwärmung (Induktionsheizung) zur Erhitzung des Gases oder Gasgemisches vorgesehen sein.The hot gas can be generated by means of an electrical resistance heater. This has the advantage of easy-to-use and inexpensive heating. The gas or gas mixture can also be by means of a flame burner or a plasma torch. These options are usually energetic very cheap. Inductive heating can also be used (Induction heating) can be provided for heating the gas or gas mixture.

Der Gasstrahl kann auf eine Temperatur im Bereich zwischen 30 und 1000 °C, vorzugsweise zwischen 100 und 800 °C erwärmt werden, wobei alle bekannten pulverförmigen Spritzmaterialien eingesetzt werden können, beispielsweise Spritzpulver aus Metallen, Metallegierungen, Hartstoffen, Keramiken und/oder Kunststoffen.The gas jet can reach a temperature in the range between 30 and 1000 ° C, preferably heated between 100 and 800 ° C, all known powdered spray materials can be used, for example spray powder made of metals, metal alloys, hard materials, ceramics and / or plastics.

Im Zusammenhang mit der Erfindung kann insbesondere ein Gasstrahl mit einem Druck von 5 bis 50 bar eingesetzt werden. Vor allem das Arbeiten mit höheren Gasdrücken bringt zusätzliche Vorteile, da die Energieübertragung in Form von kinetischer Energie erhöht wird. Es eignen sich insbesondere Gasdrücke im Bereich von 21 bis 50 bar. Hervorragende Spritzergebnisse wurden beispielsweise mit Gasdrücken von etwa 35 bar erzielt. Die Hochdruckgasversorgung kann beispielsweise durch das in der eigenen deutschen Patentanmeldung DE 197 16 414.5 beschriebene Verfahren bzw. die dort beschriebene Gasversorgungsanlage sichergestellt werden.In connection with the invention, in particular a gas jet with a Pressure of 5 to 50 bar can be used. Above all, working with higher gas pressures brings additional benefits as the energy transfer in the form of kinetic Energy is increased. Gas pressures in the range of 21 are particularly suitable up to 50 bar. Excellent spray results were achieved, for example, with gas pressures of about 35 bar. The high pressure gas supply can for example by method described in the own German patent application DE 197 16 414.5 or the gas supply system described there can be ensured.

Die Pulverpartikel können vorteilhafterweise auf eine Geschwindigkeit von 300 bis 1600 m/s beschleunigt werden. Es eignen sich dabei insbesondere Geschwindigkeiten der Pulverpartikel zwischen 1000 und 1600 m/s, besonders bevorzugt zwischen 1250 und 1600 m/s, da in diesem Fall die Energieübertragung in Form von kinetischer Energie besonders hoch ausfällt.The powder particles can advantageously at a speed of 300 to 1600 m / s can be accelerated. Speeds are particularly suitable the powder particles between 1000 and 1600 m / s, particularly preferred between 1250 and 1600 m / s, because in this case the energy transfer in the form of kinetic energy is particularly high.

Die im erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren eingesetzten Pulver besitzen bevorzugt Partikelgrößen von 1 bis 100 µm.The powders used in the process according to the invention preferably have Particle sizes from 1 to 100 µm.

Die Erfindung bietet auch die Möglichkeit, in Verbindung mit einer Automatisierung und mit computergesteuerter Bewegung des Substrats oder der Vorrichtung zum Vermischen des pulverförmigen Zusatzwerkstoffes mit dem Gas oder Gasgemisch bzw. der Spritzpistole das thermische Spritzverfahren besonders rasch und kostengünstig durchzuführen.The invention also offers the possibility in connection with automation and with computer-controlled movement of the substrate or the device for Mixing the powdered filler material with the gas or gas mixture or the spray gun the thermal spray process particularly quickly and to perform inexpensively.
