3、gram.SummaryCurrent raw material costs for metal based materials stress the economical viability of thermal spray coatings. Especially volatility and recent steep price increases for Rhenium, Tungsten, Cobalt and Nickel based materials are a serious economical risk for many coatings in all areas of
4、application. Originating from limitations in deposition efficiencies overspray becomes increasingly important, not only in regard to reduce waste, but also seen from the angle of material costs itself. Recycling offers a measure to counteract this development, in particular when it comes to waste ma

Using these toxic substances in thermal spraying or products made by thermal spraying may,

More than thirty percent of the worldwide activities in thermal spray is locatedin Europe. Therefore, also presen
9、t trends in Europe will guide the global thermal spray industry through the century 1.Currently two major concerns control development: First, raw material costs, but of similar importance secondly, health and environment protection an ecology. Users of spray powders are rattled and expect concepts
10、and ideally solutions from the leading suppliers of thermal spray powder.In both cases mentioned H.C. Starck is the chosen partner for the thermal spray industry. We are on your side.How? Please see below.RecyclingRecycling of scrap and dismantled products are already and will be one of the key proc
11、esses for a sustainable technical development. Economics and ecology ask for a protection of resources and reuse of material. Recycling is the preferred solution to serve both. Recycling means the extraction of raw materials from reusable materials or the reduction of usage of materials in productio
12、n processes. Pre-requisite for recycling is a as good as possible separation and clean collection of waste.Inherently, in thermal spray processes only part of powder spayed will stay on the part to be coated. The rest of the powder, so-called overspray, normally collects in spray booths and filter s
13、ystems. Currently, in most cases declared as waste this overspray can become a major source for cost saving in thermal spraying (Fig. 1.Fig. 1 Recycling of overspray: Especially overspray of metals, alloys or carbides are chosen materials worth to recycle. In particular, if containing significant am

Instead of starting from the ore, using sophisticated chemical processes the overspray depending on the chemistry can be used as a secondary raw material source in production processes again without suffering of quality.The following guidelines c

21、f hard metal dust can provoke negative health effects. For example, a compound of WC and Co has more negative effects on health, especially on the lung, when compared to Co or WC alone 2. The so called “hard metal lung” is a specific type of lung fibrosis occurring only after exposure to hard metal
22、dust. It is an acknowledged occupational disease in Germany 3. Experiments conducted in the early 90ties proved that the combination of WC and Co dust is inhalation toxic for rats whereas pure Co powder is not 4.In thermal spraying many Co containing hard metal powders such as WC-Co and WC-Co-Cr are
23、 also handled e.g. in powder production, thermal spraying as well as in filter dust disposal. The facts relating to hard metal are of relevant significance. The biochemical reactions taking place in the human body after WC-Co dust has been inhaled are based on the corrosion behaviour of pure metalli

25、l health effect taking place in the human body related to these corrosion mechanisms is based on high formation of reactive radicals on the surface of the WC particles. Due to their high oxidation potentials these reactive oxygen species interact with the surrounding biological environment. Dependin
26、g on the dust concentration and the exposure time, inhalation of hard metal dust can lead to acute inflammation reactions or chronic stress finally causing interstitial lung fibrosis (= hard metal lung. Today it is proven that a large part of the negative effect of asbestos orsilica on the lung is p
27、rovoked by similar surface reactions involving reactive oxygen species, too. In addition, Co ions have been proven to cause negative effects on the DNA repair mechanisms due to their strong tendency to form complexes with amino groups and thus might react with all body proteins.In hard metals cobalt
28、 can be substituted partially or wholly by alloys containing nickel and iron. As Fe-based hard metals exhibit a better corrosion resistance in aerated liquids than WC-Co, it can be expected that they are also lower in toxic potential. An acute inhalation study (Table 1 with various WC-Co, WC-FeCo an
29、d WC-FeNi powders confirms the high toxic potential of WC-Co by inhalation even at low dust concentrations of only 0.25 mg/l. The hard metal composite WC-Co 90/10 shows a mortality of 100% and must be classified as T+. The reason is the very intimate contact between Co and WC promoting a high contac
30、t corrosion rate.Also the agglomerated and sintered thermal spray WC-Co 83/17 powder bears a high mortality of 60% at a concentration of 1 mg/l. Considering, that the amount of breathable particles in the chamber had only been in the order of 20% this makes an effective concentration of breathable p
31、articles of only 0.2 mg/l. This is due to the high internal surfaces and the pronounced sinter bridges between Co and WC in the porous particles, which are typical for agglomerated and sintered WC-Co thermal spray powders (Fig. 3b. It can be assumed that even agglomerated sintered WC-Co-Cr powders o
32、r overspray still bear a certain mortality as Co and Cr potentially might not alloy completely during sintering in powder manufacturing or when sprayed with comparatively cold HVOF or HVAF spray systems. That overspray from thermal spray processes might cause fibrotic and asthmatic lung disease has
33、already been shown in 7 employing the detonation gun process.A partial replacement of the Co in WC-10%Co by 5% Fe, using Co and Fe powder, being milled together with WC in an attritor mill, leads to a reduction in toxicity by about 50%. However, when the same nominal composition (WCCo5% Fe5% is prod
34、uced as a composite, with Fe and Co being fully alloyed, mortality drops from 30% to zero at the same concentration. Even at very high concentration of 5 mg/l it remains zero. A blend of WC with a fine alloy powder (51%Fe, 49%Ni shows no inhalation toxicity even at high concentrations of 5 mg/l.Tabl

37、 contact with WC can be largely reduced if not eliminated, if it is alloyed with iron. This result is of great significance for the HSE aspects for safe and responsible production and usage of hard metals and thermal spray powders. An even better solution for health and the environment is the produc
38、tion of cermet powders in which Co is totally replaced by other, less harmful elements. Those health and environment-friendly Co and potentially even Ni free powders would open up completely new applications for thermal spray applications e.g. in the food industry or fresh water treatment. The Solut
39、ions New Co free Cermet powders The matrix components of most agglomerated sintered and dense sintered standard cermet powders for thermal spraying contain binders with simple compositions only. WC-Co, WC-Ni and WC-Co-Cr are typical examples for cermet powders where Co, Ni or Cr is applied as single
40、 binder components. In powder manufacturing the binder components Co, Ni and Cr are added as separate pure metal powders and not as alloys. Until recently, only pure metals have been available in the fine grain sizes required as they are produced by chemical precipitation methods. Until now it was e
41、conomically not possible to produce matrix materials with the fine grain sizes required for the production of state-of-the-art agglomerated sintered cermet powders from predominantly ductile alloys. For the same reason the production of cermets with health- and environment-friendly Co free, iron bas
42、ed alloys was not possible. Recently the production of agglomerated and sintered cermet powders with a matrix made from ductile complex alloys based on Ni and Fe with a homogeneous distribution of carbide and matrix has become possible. By application of a H.C. Starck proprietary milling process and
43、 chemical precipitation processes a wide variety of Ni and Fe based alloys are available in particles sizes suitable for the use in hard metals and thermal spray powders. Examples of Co free and corrosion resistant binders are Fe based Ni-Cr alloys such as austenitic steels. Fig. 4 shows the morphol
44、ogy of an agglomerated sintered WC-FeNiCr 85/15 powder where the standard Co, Co-Cr or Ni matrix has been replaced by a austenitic steel type alloy. By using the Fe23Cr6Al alloy as the binder material, even Co and Ni free cermet powders can be produced. WC-FeCrAl 85/15 and WC-Cr3C2-FeCrAl 73/20/7 ar
