DIY plunger pair repair

In detail: do-it-yourself plunger pair repair from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.

Usage: restoration of worn surfaces of precision parts, such as plunger pairs of high-pressure fuel pumps. The essence of the invention: on a worn plunger, support surfaces are formed in the form of cylindrical belts, located evenly along the axis of the plunger, and closed strips along the perimeters of the cut-off grooves. The width of the strips and belts is chosen within 3-4 mm with their total area of ​​46-56% of the plunger area. The supporting surfaces are formed by electroerosive application of a two-layer coating with plastic deformation of the surface of the first layer of the coating, for example, wear-resistant from VK 8, before applying the second layer of antifriction material, for example, carried out with a copper-graphite electrode, after coating the plunger is rubbed in a cast iron lap with the addition of an abrasive pasta. The recovered pair is used instead of the new one. 1 ill.

The invention relates to a method for electroerosive restoration of worn surfaces of precision parts and can be used in mechanical engineering and repair of machines for restoration of plunger pairs of high-pressure fuel pumps (HPP).

There is a known method of restoring the working profile of parts operating under conditions of uneven wear, according to which a protective layer is preliminarily applied to the working surface of the profile of the parts, the thickness of which is the limiting one for the selected electroerosive mode (av.c. CCCP N 698746, class B 23 N 9/00 , 1979).

The disadvantage of this method is that the maximum layer thickness for the selected electroerosive mode is characterized by the concentration of defects and residual tensile stresses, which is undesirable when mating parts of precision pairs.

The closest to the proposed technical solution is a method for restoring plunger pairs, including the formation of a support surface on the plunger in the form of cylindrical belts with the application of an anti-friction coating (ed. N 1715864, C 21 D 1/78, 1992).

The known method does not provide a complete restoration of the service life and operational parameters of the plunger pair.

The basis of the invention is the task of implementing such a method that would increase the resource of the plunger pair, intensify in time the process of running-in of mating surfaces by improving the quality of restoration.

The problem is solved by the fact that in the method of restoring the plunger pair, including the formation of the support surface on the plunger in the form of cylindrical belts with the application of an anti-friction coating, according to the invention, the cylindrical belts are arranged evenly along the axis of the plunger and form additional support surfaces in the form of closed strips along the perimeters of the cut-off grooves , while the width of the strips and cylindrical belts is selected within 3-4 mm with their total area of ​​46-56% of the plunger surface area, the supporting surfaces are formed by electroerosive application of a two-layer coating with plastic deformation of the surface of the first coating layer before applying the second, antifrictional one.

The advantages of the applied method are that the application of the lower layer of the coating made of wear-resistant material, and the upper one of the anti-friction material provides not only high wear resistance, but also good grinding and running-in; surface plastic treatment of the lower layer before applying the upper layer ensures good adhesion of the layer to the substrate, a change in internal tensile stresses to internal compressive stresses and uniform distribution of the thickness of the coating layer.

The application of the coating in the form of evenly spaced stripes and along the perimeter of the cut-off groove ensures the formation of micro-indentations corresponding to the purpose of the labyrinth seals.

The values ​​of the coverage area within 46-56% of the total recovery area with a coating stripe width of 3-4 mm are determined by additional experimental studies and provide a sufficient size of the supporting surface and the tightness of the plunger pair.

The drawing shows a General view of the assembled plunger pair, restored by the claimed method. The plunger pair includes: plunger 1, plunger sleeve 2, cut-off grooves 3, axial hole in plunger 4, diametrical hole in plunger 5, inlet hole in sleeve 6, bypass hole in sleeve 7, plunger working surface coating consisting of lower wear-resistant layer 8 and the upper antifriction layer 9.

An example of a specific implementation of the method.

A wear-resistant coating was applied to the worn-out high-pressure fuel pump plungers of KamAZ-740 diesel engines made of ShKh15 steel in places above the cut-off groove, below the cut-off groove, along the edges of the cut-off groove with a wear-resistant alloying electrode made of VK8 material under the following modes: current I 0.8A, current frequency f 200 Hz, doping time Image - DIY plunger pair repair
