Objective
A set of innovative technologies for the production of raster (anilox) rollers that determine flexograph printing quality and productivity will be established: arc-plasma powder spraying, gas detonation spraying and self-spreading high-temperature synthesis technologies for the production of ceramic rollers that possess superior wear- and corrosion-resistant properties; and improvement of wear-resistance of anilox rollers with high-line resolution (up to 400 lines/cm) made by moleting up to the level of ceramic anilox rollers. This technology includes the process of ion-plasma spraying of a nitride coating with a thickness less than 5 mm on a rastered surface. For this purpose the method of magnetron vacuum spraying of refractory targets is planned. The tools for making raster cells (molets) are made of a carbon instrumental steel and their reinforcement is effected by ion implantation and/or laser hardening in a gas atmosphere.
Mechanical and tribological properties will be investigated using traditional laboratory methods as well as by special wear tests, and by the printing results.
The fundamental investigation is related to transport phenomena in thermal plasma, condensation in ion-plasma flows, gas powder deposition, atmosphere and low pressure spraying, self-spreading high-temperature synthesis of new materials and chemical transformations in the surface layers of materials under laser-plasma action.
Preliminary results show that the life-time of modified anilox rollers is up to 3-6 times longer than for traditional products. The new set of technologies will be applied to the production of new rollers and to the repair of used ones.
