Composition for diffusion coating of ferrous metals

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to protection of metals against corrosion, and particularly to compositions intended for diffusion coating ferrous metals. Most advantageously the invention can be used for corrosion protection of parts and assemblies of the equipment used in chemical industries for the production of soda and soda products as well as magnesium chloride, barium chloride, sodium sulphates and other products of this kind.
2. Description of the Prior Art
One of the main problems facing manufacturers of chemical apparatus consists is providing of high corrosion and erosion resistance in apparatus parts contacting highly concentrated salt solutions. Experience proves that this problem has not been solved up till now.
It is well known that for the production of chemical apparatus parts having corrosion resistant coatings, cast iron and carbonaceous steels are more preferable from the economical point of view than high-cost titanium. The best results are obtained when employing chromium, titanium and their compounds in the compositions intended for protective coatings. Investigations have shown that high density of the protective layer and its strong bond with the substrate are provided by a diffusion saturation of the surface of apparatus parts with these elements and their compounds.
Known in the art as a composition for diffusion coating ferrous metals as described in U.S.S.R. Inventor's Certificate No. 443,941. The above composition comprises a particulate mixture of titanium dioxide, chromium oxide, aluminum, aluminum fluoride and alumina taken in the following ratio (in % by weight):
______________________________________titanium dioxide 10 to 15chromium oxide 23 to 26aluminum 9 to 27aluminum fluoride 3 to 5alumina the balance______________________________________
To form a protective coating upon workpieces, the latter are embedded into the above composition, heated to a temperature of 950.degree. to 1000.degree. C. and held at this temperature until a diffusion layer is formed. Such a coating effectively protects the substrate (of workpieces) against oxidation, gas corrosion and the influence of low-corrosive liquid media such as sea water. However in chloride containing media and in highly concentrated salt solutions the resistance of the coating is not satisfactory, which is due to the fact that aluminum can be easily corroded from the coating. In this case, selective corrosion takes place which deteriorates the continuity of the coating. In addition, the activity of the chemically bound titanium and chromium is not high which is due to a low content of these elements on the surface of the diffusion layer.
There is also known a composition for diffusion coating ferrous metals, providing for higher corrosion resistance described in U.S. Pat. No. 2,988,515. This composition comprises a particulate mixture of titanium, chromium, alumina and ammonium halide. The above ingredients are taken in the following ratio (in % by weight):
______________________________________titanium 5 to 30chromium 10 to 50alumina 15 to 45ammonium halide 10______________________________________
When employing the composition described above, the diffusion coating on the surface of the ferrous metals is formed in the course of heating the workpieces in an atmosphere of inert gas (argon). At a temperature of 900.degree. to 1100.degree. C. there takes place diffusion saturation of the surface layer of carbonaceous steel with titanium and chromium. Titanium forms carbides with the carbon of the substrate. It is these carbides which substantially provide the corrosion-resisting properties of the coating.
An obvious advantage of the composition described above is that a coating made therewith does not suffer from selective corrosion. In addition, free titanium and chromium are more active in diffusion saturation and their concentration in the protecting layer is much higher than that found in the priod art described earlier. However, this composition is not always efficient either. Particularly, coatings obtained with the aid of this composition are not sufficiently resistant in highly concentrated salt solutions and in chloride containing media, which is caused by the quality of the ingredients and their ratio in the composition. Thus, a comparatively low content of titanium in the mixture (up to 30% by weight) does not permit a continuous layer of carbides and a high concentration of titanium in the surface layer to be obtained. Any considerable increase in the content of titanium in the composition produce no better results, because of a large amount of chromium (weight ratio between chromium and titanium is 2:10) which binds the substrate carbon, thereby inhibiting diffusion and formation of titanium carbides. Chromium carbides contained in a large amount in the diffusion coating makes the coating highly fragile and causes microcracks therein. This is extremely unadvisable when protecting apparatus components operating in corrosive liquid media, such as pump impellers, valves, and screens. Over a period of time, insufficient density and continuity of the diffusion layer result in a pitting corrosion and destruction of the coating. This process proceeds much faster at temperatures of corrosive media from 70.degree. to 95.degree. C. It is to be noted that the temperature range often coincides with the parameters of the production processes for producing such products as magnesium chloride, sodium sulphate, Solvay soda, and barium chloride.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The principal object of the present invention is to provide a composition for diffusion coating ferrous metals, to ensure efficient corrosion protection of apparatus parts in highly concentrated salt solutions and chloride containing media.
One more important object of the present invention is to provide a composition which permits making a diffusion coating with a continuous layer of titanium carbides.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a composition for diffusion coating ferrous metals which permits the concentration of titanium in the surface layer be considerably increased.
One more object of the present invention is to improve the plasticity and to reduce the fragility of the diffusion coating.
An additional object of the present invention is to prevent pitting corrosion of the coatings in highly concentrated salt solutions and in chloride containing media.
The above-mentioned and other objects of the present invention are attained with a composition for diffusion coating ferrous metals containing a particulate mixture of titanium, chromium, alumina and ammonium halide and, according to the invention, further contains molybedenum and boron, and said ingredients being in the following ratio (in % by weight):
______________________________________titanium 51.5 to 64.0chromium 17.5 to 24.0alumina 15.0 to 21.25ammonium halide 1.5 to 2.0molybdenum 0.75 to 1.5boron 1.0 to 2.0______________________________________
With such ratio of titanium and chromium in the composition it is possible to provide a high concentration of titanium on the surface of the diffusion layer and at the same time a continuous layer of titanium carbides. The introduction of molybdenum and chromium also assists in making a high-quality diffusion layer. Specifically, boron which is a more active carbide-forming element than chromium makes it possible, in combination with molybdenum, to compact the diffusion layer and to improve its plasticity. In addition, molybdenum considerably increases the passivating power of the coating. The above factors increase the corrosion resistance of the coating in highly concentrated salt solutions and chloride containing media, prevent pitting corrosion and microcracks in the coatings of both statically and dynamically loaded apparatus parts.
Experiments have shown that such positive results can be attained with the above ratio of ingredients only.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Now the invention will be described by way of specific examples thereof.
EXAMPLE 1
A composition for diffusion coating ferrous metals is obtained in the following way. Titanium, chromium, alumina, crystalline ammonium halide, (ammonium chloride), molybdenum and boron, all in the powder form, are taken as initial ingredients. Particles of the metallic powders range in size from 0.8 to 1.5 mm. Alumina and ammonium chloride are taken in powder form with particles of said substances having different dispersion characteristics ranging from a dust-like fraction to particles sizing 1.5 mm. The initial ingredients are taken in the following ratio (% by weight):
______________________________________titanium 64.0chromium 17.5alumina 15.0ammonium chloride 1.5molybdenum 0.75boron 1.25______________________________________
At first, titanium powder and chromium powder are mixed together. Then molybdenum, boron, ammonium chloride and alumina are added into the obtained mixture, whereupon the above ingredients are stirred until a homogeneous mixture is obtained.
With the composition obtained the diffusion layer on the workpieces such as parts of pump casings and parts of housings for column apparatus intended for the production of soda and made of 2.5% carbon content cast iron is formed in the following way.
A hermetically sealed container of stainless steel is loaded with workpieces, and then filled with the composition of the invention. The container is closed, placed into the furnace and heated up to a temperature of 1000.degree. C. At this temperature the contents of the container are held for 8 hours. In the course of heating and holding, a continuous plastic diffusion layer having a total thickness of 0.16 to 0.20 mm is formed on the surface of the workpiece. After holding, the container with the treated workpieces is air-cooled.
Similarly, samples together with said workpieces were treated in the same container in order to form a diffusion layer on their surface. The samples were made of gray cast-iron containing 2.5% C and were 65.times.15.times.3 mm rectangular plates. After the diffusion layer has been formed, the samples were subjected to X-ray analysis in order to determine the nature of phases constituting the diffusion layer, and hardness, continuity and corrosion resistance of said layer were determined by the methods described below. The layer hardness was determined by the Vickers method (HV kg/mm.sup.2). Continuity of the layer was determined by means of Wocker reagent (a mixture of K.sub.3 [Fe(CN).sub.6 ] and NaCl). Filter paper moistened with said reagent was placed onto the surface of the samples in the pore zones. Ions of iron with ions of [Fe(CN).sub.6 ].sup.3- formed the compound [Fe.sub.3 Fe(CN).sub.6 ] known as Turnbull's blue. Location of pores was fixed on the filter paper by blue spots.
Corrosion resistance of the layer was determined in the following way. The samples were immersed into solutions of salts and held therein for 1200 hours, the temperature of the solution being 95.degree. C. Corrosion resistance was evaluated as a decrease in sample weight per unit surface area, taking into account the test duration. Corrosion magnitude was determined in mm/year, taking into account the specific weight of the material.

The container is closed, put into the furnace and heated to a temperature of 1050.degree. C. At this temperature the container contents are held for 7 hours. No diffusion layer was formed on the surface of the workpieces and samples because the powders of the mixture sintered.
EXAMPLE 44
A composition for diffusion coating ferrous metals is obtained in the following way. Titanium, chromium, alumina, ammonium halide (amonium chloride), molybdenum and boron, all in powder form, are initial ingredients. Particles of metallic powders range in size from 0.8 to 1.5 mm. Alumina and ammonium chloride are in powder form with particles of said substances having different dispersion characteristics and ranging from a dust-like fraction to particles sizing 1.5 mm. The initial ingredients are taken in the following ratio (in % by weight):
______________________________________titanium 50.0chromium 20.0alumina 23.0ammonium chloride 2.0molybdenum 2.0boron 3.0______________________________________
At first, titanium powder and chromium powder are mixed together. The molybdenum, boron, ammonium chloride and alumina are added into the obtained mixture, whereupon the above ingredients are stirred until a homogeneous mixture is obtained.
With the obtained composition the diffusion layer on workpieces (such as pump impellers, stirrer paddles, sliding dampers, pipelines) made of 0.9% carbon content steel as well as on samples (plates) is carried out in the following way. A hermetically sealed container of stainless steel is loaded with workpieces and samples, and filled with the composition of the present invention. The container is closed, put into the furnace and heated to a temperature of 1050.degree. C. At this temperature the container contents are held for 7 hours. In the course of heating and holding, a diffusion layer is formed on the surface of the workpieces and samples. The diffusion layer is characterized by a structural rupture because of a high amount of molybdenum and boron in the composition.
While particular embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, various modifications thereof will be apparent to those skilled in the art and therefore it is not intended that the invention be limited to the disclosed embodiments or to the details thereof and departures may be made therefrom within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the claims.
