采用有限元法计算了涂层结构、材料成分等对等离子喷涂Sm2Zr2O7/NiCoCrAlY功能梯度热障涂层热冲击性能的影响。结果表明:径向热应力在试样边沿急剧降低,而轴向热应力在边沿处发生从压应力向拉应力的突变;从基体至涂层表面,涂层中的径向冲击热应力逐渐增大,增加涂层层数可缓解热应力;材料组成对涂层的冲击热应力影响不明显。所研究的1357功能梯度热障涂层具有最好的抗热冲击性能。     

W/ODS铁素体钢功能梯度材料热应力分析

目的 研究W/ODS铁素体钢功能梯度材料（W/ODS FGM）服役条件下的热应力,期望获得较合理的W/ODS FGM材料设计,以达到热应力优化的效果。方法 采用有限元分析方法,结合偏滤器的服役条件,通过改变W/ODS FGM材料梯度层成分分布指数p、梯度层厚度HFGM以及金属W涂层厚度HW,探索各参量的变化对热应力大小及分布的影响。结果 梯度层成分分布指数p值增大,梯度层的应力值会随之增大,而W层的热应力先减小后增大。当p=0.5时,最大热应力出现在梯度层的中段;当p=1、2时,最大应力由FGM层中段转移至FGM/W层的交界处。梯度层厚度HFGM增大,涂层的热应力会大幅提高。梯度层厚度较厚或较薄都会导致热应力在FGM/W交界处集中。W涂层厚度HW增大,会导致W/FGM界面的热应力增大,增添了涂层自身的不稳定性。结论 梯度层成分分布指数和厚度的增大均会引起涂层热应力的增大,并导致最大热应力区的转移。W涂层的增厚会使结构的热应力增大,且最大应力值位于W/FGM界面,不利于涂层寿命的提高。HW=HODS=1 mm、HFGM=8 mm、p=0.5和HW=HODS=1 mm、HFGM=4 mm、p=1的最大热应力区位于梯度层中段,且后者的最大应力值小于前者,故HW=HODS=1 mm、HFGM=4 mm、p=1的结构较优。     

热循环下梯度热障涂层热氧化物生长的应力分析

建立了一种预测多层复合梯度热障涂层热应力的理论模型,并通过有限元方法分析了梯度涂层分布指数n、热循环过程中热氧化物的生长对涂层热应力大小及分布的影响。结果表明,通过控制梯度涂层的成分分布指数可以显著降低热应力和改善应力分布。当n=1时,涂层热应力较小且变化平缓,结合性能优异。与双层非梯度涂层的热应力对比可知,功能梯度涂层能显著地缓和涂层系统的热应力和消除应力集中。另外,热循环过程中梯度热障涂层与基体界面附近生长的热氧化物急剧地提升了界面附近的热应力,复杂而又集中的热应力对梯度涂层有很大的破坏。同时采用了一种方法来抑制热氧化物的生长,结果显示该方法能较好地优化涂层的热应力和改善涂层质量。

Functionally gradient (YSZ-20% Al<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript>)−SUS422 composites

Functionally gradient materials (FGMs) were prepared by mixing 5 layers comprised of different ratios of (YSZ-20%Al₂O₃) and 422 stainless (SUS422) powders, followed by hot pressing for densification. Two design concepts were proposed: One as a FGM with a monotonic change of the CTE (coefficient of thermal expansion) for each layer, and is designated as the monotonic mode, and the other was a FGM with a change of CTE that is not monotonic for each layer, and is termed the non-monotonic mode. The FGM with a monotonic CTE mode cracked at the ceramic surface after it was removed from the hot pressing furnace. In contrast, the FGM with a non-monotonic CTE mode survived after hot pressing. Based on ABAQUS simulation results, a non-monotonic change in CTE resulted in a decrease of residual stress on the ceramic side but an increase inside the metal-rich layers of the FGMs. The induced change in the stress distribution inside the FGMs was compromised by the deformation of the metal-rich ingredient (SUS422) in the FGM. Thermal shock tests of FGMs were performed between 25°C and 600°C. The non-monotonic FGM endured up to 100 thermal cycles with only slight bending, and was free of delamination and cracking. The use of composition-adjusted layers to manipulate thermal expansion coefficients of each layer greatly changed the stress contour of the FGM. It is noted that a modified functional-gradient FGM can be fabricated with a hard ceramic surface on one side to resist high temperature, and a ductile metallic surface on the other side to provide toughness.     

Plasma spraying of functionally graded yttria stabilized zirconia/NiCoCrAlY coating system using composite powders

Pre-alloyed and plasma spheroidized composite powders were used as the feedstock in the plasma spraying of functionally graded yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ)/NiCoCrAlY coatings. The ball milling parameters of the composite powders and the plasma spraying parameters for preparing functionally graded materials (FMGs) coatings were optimized to obtain the best performance for the thermal barrier coatings (TBCs). Microstructure, physical, mechanical, and thermal properties of YSZ/NiCoCrAlY FGMs coatings were investigated and compared with those of traditional duplex coatings. Results showed that the advantages of using pre-alloyed composite powders in plasma spraying were to ensure chemical homogeneity and promote uniform density along the graded layers. Microstructure observation showed the gradient distribution of YSZ and NiCoCrAlY phases in the coating, and no clear interface was found between two adjacent different layers. Oxidation occurred during plasma spray and the resultant aluminum oxide combines with YSZ in a wide range of proportions. The bond strength of functionally graded coatings was about twice as high as that of the duplex coatings because of the significant reduction of the residual stresses in the coatings. The thermal cycling resistance of functionally graded coating was much better than that of duplex coating.

Spark Plasma Sintering of Ultrafine YSZ Reinforced Cu Matrix Functionally Graded Composite

Copper matrix composites have received more attentions as possible candidate for thermal and electrical conductive materials to be used in electrical contact applications. In this study, five-layered Cu/YSZ(yttria-stabilized zirconia) functionally graded material(FGM) and copper matrix composite specimens containing 3 and 5 vol% YSZ particles plus pure Cu specimen were synthesized using powder metallurgy(PM) route and spark plasma sintering(SPS)consolidation process. The microstructural and some physical, mechanical features of all specimens were characterized.Microscopic examinations showed that ultrafine YSZ particles were distributed in the copper matrix almost homogeneously. An appropriate interface was observed at each layer of FGM. The density measurement indicated that the graded structure of the composite could be well densified after the SPS process. The microhardness values of various layers of Cu/YSZ FGM specimen were gradually altered from 56.3(pure copper side) to 75.2 HV(Cu-5 vol% YSZ side). The increase of YSZ content resulted in a decrease in electrical conductivity. Additionally, thermal conductivity of Cu/YSZ FGM specimen [308.0 W/(m K)] was determined to be higher than that of the Cu-5 vol% YSZ composite specimen [260.7 W/(m K)]. Accordingly, it can be concluded that the Cu/YSZ FGM can be a good candidate for the electrical applications, like sliding electrical contacts, where different material characteristics in the same component are required.     

Use of plasma spraying in the manufacture of continuously graded and layered/graded molybdenum disilicide/alumina composites

Plasma spraying was used to produce continuously graded and graded/layered structures of molybdenum disilicide (MoSi₂) and alumina (Al₂O₃). These functionally graded materials (FGMs) were achieved by manipulating the powder hoppers and plasma torch translation via in-house created computer software. The resultant microstructures sprayed uniformly and were crack free. The interface between MoSi₂ and Al₂O₃ was continuous and no evidence of debonding or cracking at the interface was found. The mechanical strength of these sprayed materials was evaluated using C-ring samples (in diametrical compression). Weibull analysis conducted on the C-ring data indicated that the continuously graded samples were slightly stronger and had a significantly narrower strength distribution than the graded/layered samples. Although the average strength values of both types of functionally graded samples were closer to those of monolithic MoSi₂, the fracture energy of the graded samples was significantly larger (∼2–3 times) compared with the monolithic materials. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) conducted on the fracture surfaces of the FGMs illustrated a wavy and tortuous crack path through the composite cross section of the sample, with extensive crack kinking. This study has two important results. First, we demonstrated the ability to produce such functionally graded composite ceramic microstructures using a conventional plasma spraying process. Second, we quantified the improvements in mechanical performance provided by these FGMs over conventional monolithic materials.     

Material design method for the functionally graded cemented carbide tool

The aim of this study is to apply the concept of functionally graded materials (FGMs) to tool materials and to develop high-performance cutting tools. The requirement of the graded structure is that the surface is highly wear resistant cermet, and the inside is tough cemented carbide. Compressive residual stress was introduced to the material surface by grading the composition. To develop the new material, the cutting condition of broken cermet was investigated and their cutting temperature distribution was measured by a newly developed measuring method. Then Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) analysis was performed to calculate the generated thermal stress. The new material was developed with the aim to introduce the compressive residual stress over the calculated thermal stress. As a result developed tools demonstrated higher wear resistance, breakage resistance, thermal crack resistance and peeling resistance over those of conventional tools in the market.     

Determination of properties of graded materials by inverse analysis and instrumented indentation

In this paper, a new measurement procedure based on inverse analysis and instrumented micro-indentation is introduced. The inverse analysis is utilized to extract information from indented load–displacement data beyond usual parameters such as elastic modulus. For the initial implementation of this procedure, determination of non-linear functionally graded materials (FGMs) parameters is considered. In FGMs, the compositional profile and the effective mechanical property through the thickness are essential in verifying the fabrication process and estimating residual stresses and failure strengths. However, due to spatial variation of their properties, it is often difficult or costly to make direct measurements of these parameters. In order to alleviate the difficulties associated with testing of FGMs, we propose an effective but simple procedure based on the inverse analysis which relies solely on instrumented micro-indentation records. More specifically, the Kalman filter technique, which was originally introduced for signal/digital filter processing, is used to estimate FGM through-thickness compositional variation and a rule-of-mixtures parameter that defines effective properties of FGMs. Essentially, the inverse analysis processes the indented displacement record at several load magnitudes and attempts to make best estimates of the unknown parameters. Our feasibility study shows promising results when combined data from two differently sized indenters are employed. The procedure proposed is also applicable in estimating other physical and mechanical properties of any coating/layered materials.     

High-temperature thermo-mechanical behavior of functionally graded materials produced by plasma sprayed coating: Experimental and modeling results

Thermal barrier coatings are widely used in aerospace industries to protect exterior surfaces from harsh environments. In this study, functionally graded materials (FGMs) were investigated with the aim to optimize their high temperature resistance and strength characteristics. NiCrAlY bond coats were deposited on Inconel-617 superalloy substrate specimens by the low vacuum plasma spraying technique. Functionally graded Ni-yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) coatings with gradually varying amounts of YSZ (20%-100%) were fabricated from composite powders by vacuum plasma spraying. Heat shield performance tests were conducted using a high- temperature plasma torch. The temperature distributions were measured using thermocouples at the interfaces of the FGM layers during the tests. A model for predicting the temperature at the bond coating–substrate interface was established. The temperature distributions simulated using the finite element method agreed well with the experimental results.
