Description
Method for preparing anti-erosion strong wear-resistant aluminum alloy and TiN film on surface of aluminum alloy Technical Field The invention relates to the technical field of aluminum alloy surface treatment, in particular to an anti-erosion and strong wear-resistant aluminum alloy and a preparation method of a TiN film on the surface of the aluminum alloy. Background The aluminum alloy has a series of excellent performances such as low density, high elastic modulus, low thermal expansion coefficient, easy molding and processing and the like, and is widely applied to the fields such as automobiles, aviation, aerospace, ships, mechanical manufacturing and the like. However, the aluminum alloy has the defects of low hardness, high friction coefficient, no wear resistance, poor lubricity and the like, and the application of the aluminum alloy in the industrial field is greatly limited. In order to improve the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of aluminum alloys, in addition to improving the materials of the aluminum alloys themselves, the modification of protecting and strengthening the surfaces of the aluminum alloys is also a very important research direction. At present, besides the way of changing the surface components of the material to strengthen the structure by carburizing, nitriding or metal ion implantation, the most effective way is to adopt the surface coating technology, so that the comprehensive service performance of the part is greatly improved on the premise of not changing the original characteristics of the base material such as geometry, materiality and the like, the capability of resisting the action of the working environment is fully improved, and the protection and strengthening modification effects are achieved. At present, the common surface coating technology at home and abroad mainly comprises processes such as anodic oxidation, electroplating, micro-arc oxidation, thermal spraying, laser treatment, chemical vapor deposition, physical vapor deposition and the like for modifying the surface of aluminum and aluminum alloy so as to improve the application performance of the aluminum and aluminum alloy. The technology of preparing the functional coating on the surface of the aluminum alloy by utilizing the vapor deposition principle is utilized, the coating prepared by the surface coating is uniform and compact, and meanwhile, the bonding strength is higher, the surface performance of the aluminum alloy can be improved pertinently according to the difference of coating materials, and the method is an important preparation method of the hard film. The TiN film belongs to IV transition metal nitride, the structure of the TiN film is formed by mixing covalent bonds and metal bonds, and the TiN film has the characteristics of metal crystals and covalent metals, and has the properties of high hardness, good wear resistance, excellent high-temperature oxidation resistance and the like, so the TiN film is used for designing protective coatings on the surface of aluminum alloy and has very good wear-resistant application effects. Although some processes for preparing antifriction and wear-resistant coatings on aluminum alloy surfaces by utilizing multi-arc ion plating or magnetron sputtering have been developed in recent years, the problem that the deposition temperature of the aluminum alloy substrate exceeds the aging heat treatment temperature of the aluminum alloy to improve the mechanical property and the comprehensive strength of the substrate, and the fatigue property and other excellent strength performance indexes of the aluminum alloy are affected because most aluminum alloys need to be subjected to aging heat treatment in the processing process, the aging heat treatment temperature is generally 170-190 ℃, and the deposition temperature of the multi-arc ion plating is generally about 200-300 ℃ to obtain hard films with excellent performance. (2) A layer of hard film is prepared on the surface of an aluminum alloy by using a multi-arc ion plating machine, and even under the normal temperature deposition condition, as the energy of the multi-arc ion plating is relatively high, part of the energy is converted into heat energy when the multi-arc ion plating is deposited on a substrate, the temperature of the substrate is rapidly increased, and the temperature of the substrate also exceeds 180 ℃, so that the aging temperature of the aluminum alloy is exceeded, and the performance index of the aluminum alloy substrate is affected. (3) The aluminum alloy belongs to soft metal, the hard film is harder, eggshell effect is generated when the hard film is deposited on the soft metal, the binding force between the hard film and a matrix is seriously affected, and secondly, the deposition temperature is lower than the aging temperature of the aluminum alloy, so that low-temperature deposition is realized, and the bonding strength between the film and the matrix is seriously affected due
