Definitions
- the invention relates to the interface structures between moving mechanical parts, in particular parts of pumps or other systems moving in a vacuum atmosphere, in which counteracting contact surfaces are in motion relative to one another with respect to each other. a game alternately weak or zero.
- Antagonist contact surfaces in motion relative to each other are generally necessary either for the transmission of mechanical forces from one part to another, or for the realization of a support from one part to the other, either for the realization of a gas or liquid tightness.
- Friction when the low clearance becomes zero between two opposing surfaces in a contact, is traditionally achieved by providing the presence of a liquid lubricant.
- liquid lubricants have the disadvantage of evaporating, producing emission of polluting vapors whose presence is incompatible with the criteria of vacuum systems "clean and dry".
- the object of the invention is to increase the wear resistance of the moving contact surfaces in motion relative to one another, while decreasing their friction.
- the document WO-2005/014 892 discloses a method of coating a substrate to improve its resistance to corrosion and abrasion by particles.
- the metal substrate is covered with three ceramic layers: a first transition layer, a hardness functional layer and a porous surface layer.
- the surface layer whose porosity is able to retain a composite layer containing a lubricant.
- the invention provides an interface structure comprising a first mechanical part and a second mechanical part having respectively at least a first surface and at least a second opposing surface facing said first surface, the first mechanical part having a clean structure of low density metal or alloy and the surface area of the first surface of the first mechanical part comprising at least two ceramic surface layers, a porous outer surface layer and a dense inner sub-layer, the porosity of the outer surface layer containing a material that promotes sliding.
- the first surface of the first mechanical part and the second surface of the second mechanical part are in motion relative to one another in permanent or temporary sliding contact in a vacuum atmosphere, the second mechanical part having a clean structure in metal or alloy of low density, and the surface area of the second counter surface comprising at least one dense layer of ceramic.
- the ceramic surface area of the first piece of clean structure of light metal By transforming in a ceramic the surface area of the first piece of clean structure of light metal, with a porous outer surface layer and a dense inner sub-layer, the ceramic surface area is given a great hardness which allows it to to withstand high localized pressures by limiting the deformations, and the ceramic surface area is given a capacity to receive a finishing treatment by grinding which gives it the most regular geometry possible in the interface area.
- the porous outer surface layer is particularly adherent to the structure of the metal part via the internal sub-layer of the same nature but denser of the same metal converted into ceramic.
- porous outer surface layer is a very effective bonding layer for a slip-promoting material, and may itself receive and retain slip-promoting material for subsequent redistribution in the contact interface between the opposing surfaces, This results in a very significant reduction of friction, and results in a reduction of the emission of particles.
- the porosities of the porous outer ceramic surface layer contain a slip-promoting material.
- a slip-promoting material is an organic and / or inorganic solid lubricant, for example chosen from the family comprising graphite, disulfide of molybdenum, boron nitride, tungsten disulfide, PTFE.
- the slip promoting material is contained in a solid polymer. It is thus a mixture of polymer and lubricant, and the polymer promotes the attachment of the lubricant to the ceramic.
- the solid polymer is a heat-cured resin, for example a polymer selected from the family comprising polyamide imides, polyimides, epoxy resins, polyaryl sulfone.
- the polymer will be chosen according to its chemical or physical resistance spectrum adopted to the nature and temperature of the fluids in contact.
