- the main sources of this radiation in addition to the hot exhaust gas, especially the hot, externally visible parts of the engines. These parts have temperatures of lukewarm up to 500 - 600 ° C and above. It is therefore desirable to reduce the IR radiation of these parts in order to reduce the firing range of the weapons and thus also the threat.
- metals with a high electrical conductivity reflect IR radiation and therefore have a low IR emissivity.
- the material of the hot parts of the aircraft is generally high temperature resistant metal, which has a high electrical conductivity as a metal, but over time forms a passivating, electrically insulating oxide skin on the surface and thus loses its low IR emissivity.
- IR camouflage In IR camouflage it is known to provide the object to be camouflaged with low-emitting metallic reflector layers.
- metallic reflector layers for example from the DE 199 55 608 A1 or DE 198 42 102 C1

- the object of the invention is to improve the known IR Tarnbetikmaschine so that their camouflage even at higher temperatures (especially higher than 200 ° C) is maintained.
- the inventive design of the coating ensures that the high electrical conductivity of the surface layer is maintained even at high temperatures and the surface layer remains permanently stable on the substrate. Even at high temperatures, it does not react chemically with air or exhaust gas constituents and, in particular, does not form any oxide layer that is detrimental to IR camouflage.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Tarnbeschichtung zur IR-Tarnung, und zwar speziell zur Tarnung von Objekten mit heißen Oberflächen (IR = Infrarot).The invention relates to a camouflage coating for IR camouflage, specifically for camouflaging objects with hot surfaces (IR = infrared).
Luftfahrzeuge sind vor allem während der Start-/Landephase auf große Entfernungen durch Waffen bedroht, die die Luftfahrzeuge im IR aufschalten können. Dies wird durch die hohe IR-Abstrahlung der Luftfahrzeuge ermöglicht. Hauptquellen dieser Abstrahlung sind neben dem heißen Abgas vor allem die heißen, von außen einsehbaren Teile an den Triebwerken. Diese Teile weisen Temperaturen von handwarm bis zu 500 - 600 °C und darüber auf. Es ist daher erstrebenswert, die IR- Abstrahlung dieser Teile zu reduzieren, um die Aufschaltentfernung der Waffen und somit auch die Bedrohung zu verkleinern.Aircraft are particularly at risk during the take-off / landing phase to long distances by weapons, which can turn on the aircraft in the IR. This is made possible by the high IR radiation of the aircraft. The main sources of this radiation, in addition to the hot exhaust gas, especially the hot, externally visible parts of the engines. These parts have temperatures of lukewarm up to 500 - 600 ° C and above. It is therefore desirable to reduce the IR radiation of these parts in order to reduce the firing range of the weapons and thus also the threat.
Es ist bekannt, dass Metalle mit einer hohen elektrischen Leitfähigkeit IR-Strahlung reflektieren und daher ein geringes IR-Emissionsvermögen aufweisen. Das Material der heißen Teile der Luftfahrzeuge ist im allgemeinen hochtemperaturfestes Metall, das zwar als Metall eine hohe elektrische Leitfähigkeit aufweist, das aber im Lauf der Zeit eine passivierende, elektrisch isolierende Oxidhaut an der Oberfläche bildet und damit sein niedriges IR-Emissionsvermögen verliert.It is known that metals with a high electrical conductivity reflect IR radiation and therefore have a low IR emissivity. The material of the hot parts of the aircraft is generally high temperature resistant metal, which has a high electrical conductivity as a metal, but over time forms a passivating, electrically insulating oxide skin on the surface and thus loses its low IR emissivity.
In der IR-Tarnung ist es bekannt, das zu tarnende Objekt mit niedrig-emittierenden metallischen Reflektorschichten zu versehen. Bekannt sind metallische Reflektorschichten, z.B. aus der
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist, die bekannten IR-Tarnbeschichtungen so zu verbessern, dass ihre Tarnwirkung auch unter höheren Temperaturen (insbesondere höher als 200°C) erhalten bleibt.The object of the invention is to improve the known IR Tarnbeschichtungen so that their camouflage even at higher temperatures (especially higher than 200 ° C) is maintained.
Diese Aufgabe wird mit dem Gegenstand des Patentanspruch 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand von Unteransprüchen.This object is achieved with the subject of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of dependent claims.
Erfindungsgemäß umfasst die IR-Tarnbeschichtung mindestens 2 Teilschichten auf dem zu tarnenden metallischen Trägermaterial:
- 1. Einer eigentlichen Oberflächenschicht aus einem hochleitfähigen Metall, das bei den vorherrschenden Betriebstemperaturen mit Luftsauerstoff oder anderen Bestandteilen des umgebenden Gases nicht reagiert, insbesondere kein Oxid oder Sulfid bildet. Dies kann bei hohen Temperaturen des Trägermaterials ein Edelmetall sein, wie z.B. Ru, Rh, Pd, Ag, Os, Ir, Pt, Au. Wenn die Einsatztemperatur des Trägermaterials weniger als etwa 300 °C beträgt, kann dies auch ein weniger edles Metall wie V, Ni oder Cr sein. Diese Metalle bilden zwar auch grundsätzlich oxidische Schichten aus, jedoch sind diese aufgrund reaktionskinetischer Randbedingungen hinsichtlich der IR-optischen Eigenschaften nicht relevant: Infolge langsamer Bildungsgeschwindigkeit kommt es zu einer Ausbildung dünner und kompakter Schichten. Dadurch wird die 02- Diffusion durch die Schicht behindert mit der Konsequenz, dass das Basismetall nicht weiter oxidiert wird und der Schichtaufbauprozess zum Stillstand kommt. Der IR-Emissionsgrad ε der Materialen der Oberflächenschicht sollte in bevorzugten Ausführungen kleiner als 0,5 sein. Die Schichtdicke ist bevorzugt größer oder gleich 1 µm, insbesondere im Bereich zwischen 1-2 µm.
- 2. Einer oxid-keramischen Schicht, insbesondere ein Cr-Oxid oder ein Ti-Oxid, als Diffusionsbarriere zwischen der Oberflächenschicht und dem Trägermaterial. Diese Diffusionssperrschicht ist notwendig, um die langfristige Stabilität der Oberflächenschicht zu erhalten. Andernfalls wandern bei den hohen Temperaturen die Trägermetallatome durch die Oberflächenschicht nach außen und bilden eine nichtleitende, hochemissive Oxidschicht und/oder die Atome der Oberflächenschicht diffundieren nach innen, so dass die Oberflächenschicht im Lauf der Zeit hinsichtlich der IR-Tarnung unwirksam wird. Die Schichtdicke ist bevorzugt größer oder gleich 1 µm, insbesondere im Bereich zwischen 1-2 µm.
- 1. An actual surface layer of a highly conductive metal, which does not react at the prevailing operating temperatures with atmospheric oxygen or other constituents of the surrounding gas, in particular does not form an oxide or sulfide. This may be a noble metal at high temperatures of the support material, such as Ru, Rh, Pd, Ag, Os, Ir, Pt, Au. If the use temperature of the substrate is less than about 300 ° C, it may also be a less noble metal such as V, Ni or Cr. Although these metals also basically form oxidic layers, these are not relevant in terms of IR-optical properties due to reaction-kinetic boundary conditions. As a result of the slow formation speed, thinner and more compact layers are formed. This hinders O 2 diffusion through the layer with the consequence that the base metal is not further oxidized and the layer buildup process comes to a standstill. The IR emissivity ε of the surface layer materials should be less than 0.5 in preferred embodiments. The layer thickness is preferably greater than or equal to 1 μm, in particular in the range between 1-2 μm.
- 2. An oxide-ceramic layer, in particular a Cr oxide or a Ti oxide, as a diffusion barrier between the surface layer and the carrier material. This diffusion barrier layer is necessary to maintain the long-term stability of the surface layer. Otherwise, at the high temperatures, the carrier metal atoms migrate out through the surface layer and form a non-conductive, highly-reactive oxide layer and / or the atoms of the surface layer diffuse inwards, so that the surface layer over time with respect to the IR camouflage is ineffective. The layer thickness is preferably greater than or equal to 1 μm, in particular in the range between 1-2 μm.
Durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung der Beschichtung ist sichergestellt, dass die hohe elektrische Leitfähigkeit der Oberflächenschicht auch bei hohen Temperaturen erhalten bleibt und die Oberflächenschicht dauerhaft auf dem Trägermaterial stabil bleibt. Sie reagiert auch bei hohen Temperaturen chemisch nicht mit Luft oder Abgasbestandteilen und bildet insbesondere keine für die IR-Tarnung schädliche Oxidschicht aus.The inventive design of the coating ensures that the high electrical conductivity of the surface layer is maintained even at high temperatures and the surface layer remains permanently stable on the substrate. Even at high temperatures, it does not react chemically with air or exhaust gas constituents and, in particular, does not form any oxide layer that is detrimental to IR camouflage.
Ebenso ist es möglich, dass aus optischen Gründen auf die Oberflächenschicht eine weitere Schicht von maximal etwa 0,1µm Dicke aufgebracht wird, die zwar im visuellen Wellenlängenbereich von 0,4 - 0,7µm sichtbar ist, im IR-Bereich von 3 - 5 µm und von 8 - 12 µm unwirksam, weil zu dünn, ist.It is likewise possible for optical reasons to apply to the surface layer a further layer of at most approximately 0.1 μm in thickness, which is visible in the visual wavelength range of 0.4 to 0.7 μm, in the IR range of 3 to 5 μm and from 8 to 12 microns ineffective, because it is too thin.
Bei der zu tarnenden metallischen Trägerstruktur kann es sich insbesondere um die heißen, von außen einsehbaren Bauteilen an den Triebwerken eine Flugzeugs handeln, insbesondere um die Schubdüse für die Kernluft des Triebwerks oder um den Abströmkörper.The metallic carrier structure to be camouflaged may in particular be the hot, externally visible components on the engines of an aircraft, in particular the thruster for the core air of the engine or the outflow body.
Der Beschichtungsprozess läuft folgendermaßen ab: Zunächst wird das Trägermaterial von eventuell vorhandenen Oberflächenschichten befreit und gereinigt. Dazu wird bei starker Verschmutzung (Fettbelegung) zunächst eine fettlösende Flüssigkeit (Aceton, Chloralkane, etc) eingesetzt. Anschließend erfolgt bevorzugt eine Feinreinigung der Oberflächen mittels z.B. atmosphärischer Plasmen (Corona, Barrierenentladung) oder durch lasergestützte Verfahren (Laser-Ablation). Dann wird die Diffusionssperrschicht entweder mit einem Gasphasenbeschichtungsverfahren (PVD Pysical Vapor Deposition, CVD Chemical Vapor Deposition oder Plasma-CVD) aufgebracht, oder - wenn das Trägermetall mit Cr, Ti oder Ni legiert ist - die Diffusionssperrschicht wird durch einfache Temperaturbehandlung des Metalls bei einer definierten, hohen Temperatur über eine definierte Zeit selbstständig gebildet. So bildet sich z. B. auf hochchromierten (bis 25% Cr) Inconel-Materialien (Nickel-Basislegierungen), Incoloy (Cobalt-Basislegierungen) oder Edelstählen (Eisen-Basislegierungen) bei Temperaturen über 500° C unter oxidierenden Bedingungen in einigen Tagen selbstständig eine Chromoxidschicht aus, die als Diffusionsbarriere geeignet ist. Bei Titan-Basisiegierungen erfolgt die Sperrschichtausbildung durch Bildung von Titandioxid (TiO2). Eine Cr-Zulegierung ist daher bei Titan-Basislegierungen nicht erforderlich und im übrigen auch nicht sinnvoll. Alternativ dazu ist es möglich und insbesondere hinsichtlich der Realisierung dickerer Schichten angezeigt, die Oxidschichtbildung mittels Salpetersäure (konzentriert, rauchend) vorzunehmen. Danach wird die Oberflächenschicht vorzugsweise mit einem PVD-Verfahren aufgebracht. Diese Schicht kann auch auf galvanischen Wege bis zu einer gewünschten Schichtdicke von 1-2 µm oder mehr gebracht werden.The coating process proceeds as follows: First, the carrier material is freed of any surface layers and cleaned. For heavy soiling (fat occupation), a fat-dissolving liquid (acetone, chloroalkane, etc.) is used first. Subsequently, a fine cleaning of the surfaces preferably takes place by means of, for example, atmospheric plasmas (corona, barrier discharge) or by laser-assisted methods (laser ablation). Then, the diffusion barrier layer is applied with either a PVD (Vapor Deposition or CVD) or, when the support metal is alloyed with Cr, Ti or Ni, the diffusion barrier layer is defined by simply treating the metal at a defined temperature , high temperature over a defined time independently formed. So z. On highly chromated (up to 25% Cr) Inconel materials (nickel base alloys), Incoloy (cobalt base alloys) or stainless steels (iron base alloys) at temperatures above 500 ° C under oxidizing conditions in a few days on its own a chromium oxide layer, which is suitable as a diffusion barrier. In titanium base alloys, the formation of the barrier layer takes place by formation of titanium dioxide (TiO2). A Cr alloy is therefore not required in titanium-based alloys and otherwise not useful. Alternatively, it is possible, and in particular with regard to the realization of thicker layers, to indicate the oxide layer formation by means of nitric acid (concentrated, fuming). Thereafter, the surface layer is preferably applied by a PVD method. This layer can also be brought by electroplating to a desired layer thickness of 1-2 microns or more.
