Corrosion resistant metal tool forgings have important application value in many industries, such as Marine development, chemical, pharmaceutical and so on. In order to improve the service life and performance of these forgings, surface treatment technology is particularly important. This paper will deeply discuss the application of surface treatment technology for corrosion-resistant hardware tool forgings.
Surface treatment technology is very important for corrosion-resistant metal tool forgings. Common surface treatment techniques include coating, plating and oxidation treatment. Coating treatment includes coating organic coatings and inorganic coatings, such as organic coatings such as polyurethane, epoxy resin, and inorganic coatings such as alumina and silicon dioxide. Plating treatment includes electroplating and electroless plating, such as plating chromium, nickel, zinc and other metals or alloys. Oxidation treatment includes anodic oxidation, chemical oxidation, etc., to form an oxide film on the surface of the metal to improve the anti-corrosion performance.
Each surface treatment technology has its advantages and disadvantages. The organic coating has good wear resistance and decoration, but poor corrosion resistance. Inorganic coatings have higher corrosion resistance and hardness, but poor adhesion. Electroplating treatment can improve the electrical conductivity and hardness of the metal surface, but the treatment process will produce pollution. Electroless plating has better wear resistance and corrosion resistance, but the process is complicated and the cost is high. Anodizing can improve the hardness and wear resistance of the metal surface, while having good corrosion resistance, but it is not suitable for all metals.
Corrosion resistant metal tool forgings are widely used in Marine development, chemical, pharmaceutical and other fields. In Marine development, corrosion resistant metal tool forgings are often used in the manufacture of Marine platforms, ship parts, etc., which require good corrosion resistance and wear resistance. In the field of chemistry, corrosion resistant metal tool forgings are often used to manufacture chemical reactors, valves, pumps and other equipment, requiring good corrosion resistance and sealing. In the pharmaceutical field, corrosion-resistant metal tool forgings are often used in the manufacture of pharmaceutical equipment, medical devices, etc., requiring better hygiene and corrosion resistance.
Taking an application case in Marine development as an example, the offshore platform is an important infrastructure for Marine development, and many key parts such as drilling equipment, valves, etc., are made of corrosion-resistant hardware tools. In order to improve the service life and performance of these forgings, surface treatment is required. For example, using oxidation treatments or organic coatings such as polyurethane to improve corrosion and wear resistance of drilling equipment; Chromium plating or electroless nickel plating is used to improve the corrosion resistance and tightness of the valve.
In general, surface treatment technology has an important impact on the performance and service life of corrosion-resistant metal tool forgings. In the future, with the development of science and technology and the application of new materials, surface treatment technology will continue to improve, providing more possibilities for the development of corrosion-resistant metal tool forgings. It is recommended to strengthen the research and development and application of surface treatment technology to improve the performance and service life of corrosion-resistant metal tool forgings, and pay attention to environmental protection and cost issues to achieve sustainable development.
