高韧性过渡层对大气等离子喷涂热障涂层性能的影响EI北大核心CSCD

高温服役环境下,大气等离子喷涂(APS)制备的纳米结构热障涂层受热应力作用,黏结层/陶瓷层界面附近的陶瓷层内部易形成横向裂纹而导致热障涂层失效。利用常规大气等离子喷涂和超音速等离子喷涂(SAPS)制备8YSZ高韧性过渡层。结果表明,采用APS和SAPS制备的高韧性过渡层提高了扁平化粒子间结合状态和涂层致密度,相比常规结构8YSZ涂层的断裂韧性分别提高约46%和84%,高韧性过渡层均提高了复合结构热障涂层结合强度、抗热震性能和燃气热冲击寿命,SAPS制备的高韧性过渡层厚度为30~50μm时复合结构热障涂层抗热震性能最优,当高韧性过渡层厚度为10~30μm时,相比常规结构热障涂层燃气热冲击寿命提高120%。在温度梯度作用下,热障涂层最终失效由陶瓷层逐层剥落转变为靠近陶瓷层/黏结层界面处剥落。通过高韧性过渡层设计,兼顾热障涂层的隔热性能的同时,提高了热障涂层的结合强度和寿命。     

粘结层粗糙度对YSZ涂层热震性能的影响

目的 提高YSZ涂层的服役寿命.方法 采用火焰喷涂和等离子喷涂的方法,在GH4169高温合金上分别制备NiCoCrAlY粘结层和8YSZ陶瓷层.在制备陶瓷层之前,通过低压喷砂的方法对粘结层表面进行处理,改变粘结层的表面粗糙度.利用X射线衍射仪(XRD)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、3D测量激光显微镜,表征涂层的物相、微观形貌和表面粗糙度.使用马弗炉进行1100℃的热震实验,表征YSZ涂层的热震性能.结果 通过喷涂方法制备的粘结层,表面较为粗糙,喷砂处理后,有效地改善了表面情况,表面粗糙度下降了1～3μm.随着热震实验的进行,陶瓷层和粘结层中间形成的热生长氧化物(TGO)不断增厚.喷砂处理后,涂层的氧化速率降低.热震实验后,涂层边缘处会萌生微裂纹,随着裂纹的累积扩展,最终贯通,形成局部的涂层剥离.失效前后,YSZ没有相变发生.结论 涂层失效多发生在TGO界面处,粘结层的高温氧化引起TGO层生长增厚,会导致涂层的失效.平整的TGO生长界面可以减少接触面,降低粘结层的氧化速率.平整界面可以避免局部起伏造成的TGO过度生长.经过表面喷砂处理改善粘结层粗糙度的涂层,具有更优异的抗热震性能.TGO层的形成和生长,容易导致微裂纹的萌生和扩展.粘结层表面处理后,能够为TGO的形成和生长提供相对平整的界面,有效提高TGO的质量,进而提高涂层的抗热震性能.     

合金钢热障涂层等离子喷涂及高温力学特性研究

目的研究等离子喷涂热障涂层微观组织与高温力学性能,为热障涂层在合金钢的应用及其失效机制提供理论支撑。方法采用等离子喷涂技术在30Cr Mn Si A钢基体上制备Ni Co Cr Al Y/YSZ热障涂层,利用扫描电镜显微观察、物相分析、热震试验、拉伸试验等技术方法,考察涂层在高温条件下的失效行为。结果合金钢等离子喷涂热障涂层为典型双层层片状结构,YSZ涂层仅含有稳定四方相。800℃时,涂层试样拉伸试验后的断裂载荷与无涂层试样相比高10%。热障涂层的抗热震性良好,经900℃热震循环试验10次后,涂层完好;经1000℃热震循环6次后,涂层剥落失效,剥落面位于粘结层与基体之间。热震循环过程中,钢基体被氧化甚至腐蚀。涂层试样边缘产生应力集中,随着热震次数的增加,裂纹逐渐扩展,最终导致涂层成块剥落。温度由700℃升至900℃,Ni Co Cr Al Y涂层硬度下降幅度大于YSZ涂层和30Cr Mn Si基体。结论粘结层与钢合金基体的热膨胀不匹配是导致热震试验涂层剥落的主要原因。热障涂层的隔热作用使涂层试样的基体温度较低,导致其断裂载荷与无涂层试样相比较高。     

高温拉压环境下DZ125高温合金的热障涂层失效

采用电子束物理气相沉积法（EB-PVD）在定向凝固Ni基高温合金DZ125基体上制备了NiCoCrAlY粘结层和YSZ陶瓷层，研究了高温拉压环境下热障涂层的失效模式，并对其进行了有限元分析。实验结果表明，热障涂层的失效与仅受热载荷作用下的有很大不同，仅有热载荷作用下的热障涂层裂纹多萌生于热氧化层（TGO）内部，进而扩展引起热障涂层的失效。而高温拉压试验后热障涂层体系存在两种裂纹，分别萌生于TGO／粘结层界面和粘结层／扩散层界面附近。有限元模拟结果显示TGO／陶瓷层和TGO／粘结层处存在应力状态的转变和应力值的突变，径向应力的突变导致了界面分离现象的产生，而轴向应力的突变加速了垂直于界面裂纹的扩展，并导致了试样的最终断裂。

La2Ce2O7/YSZ热障涂层抗热震性能的陶瓷层厚度影响研究

采用实验和数值方法研究了陶瓷层厚度比对La2Ce2O7/YSZ(LC/YSZ)热障涂层热震性能的影响。实验结果表明,随着LC与YSZ厚度比的降低,涂层热震寿命显著提高,涂层失效区域逐渐向试样中心转移,剥离位置逐渐从两陶瓷层界面附近转移到LC内靠近上表面处。数值结果表明,界面边缘处较大的轴向应力与剪切应力易导致较大厚度比涂层边缘处剥落;LC表面中心区域较大的径向拉应力会导致垂直裂纹萌生,并伴随界面偏折,这是较小厚度比涂层自LC内部剥离的原因。

等离子喷涂热障涂层热震失效过程及残余应力分析

采用等离子喷涂技术在高温合金上制备了热障涂层(粘接层为NiCoCrAlY,陶瓷层为ZrO2-8%Y2O3),利用扫描电镜(SEM)、拉曼光谱(RFS)等试验手段研究了热障涂层热震失效的过程及残余应力大小和分布状态。结果表明:150次热循环后,陶瓷层和热生长氧化物(TGO)生成裂纹,其中陶瓷层的裂纹已扩展至TGO;350次热循环后,出现贯通陶瓷层与金属过渡层的纵向裂纹,涂层局部出现剥离,剥离位置位于TGO与陶瓷层界面;拉曼光谱(RFS)分析结果显示TGO内应力水平分布不均,局部厚大区和凸凹处残余应力较大,是裂纹萌生、扩展的主要部位。     

基于内聚力单元与XFEM的热障涂层失效分析

为了更好的理解热障涂层的失效机理,文中运用ABAQUS有限元软件来分析热障涂层的失效情况,使用内聚力单元和扩展有限元（XFEM）两种方法研究热障涂层TGO界面开裂与陶瓷涂层（TC）和氧化层（TGO）内随机裂纹的萌生与扩展,研究竖直裂纹与水平裂纹的关系.结果表明,热障涂层TGO界面的开裂首先出现在TGO/TBC波谷处.陶瓷涂层和氧化层内随机裂纹的萌生同样发生在TGO/TBC波谷处.竖直裂纹的存在可以抑制水平裂纹的萌生与扩展,且其在TGO/TBC波谷处的扩展长度比在TGO/TBC波峰处的扩展长度更长,说明TGO/TBC波谷区域是个危险区域,在此区域容易引发裂纹的萌生与扩展.     

Performance of Dy2Zr2O7 Thermal Barrier Coating in Thermal-Shock Test

通过北气等离子喷涂(APS)制备了一种基于锆酸镝(Dy2Zr2O7)的新型热障涂层,该涂层具有更低的热导率及与镍基高温合金更匹配的热膨胀系数。对涂层的结构、相组成以及抗热震性能进行了研究。此外,对涂层在热震循冲过程中的失效过程进行了讨论。结果表明,在6~8次热震循冲后,涂层从基体表面脱落。陶瓷层中的微裂纹在热震过程中生长并导致粘结层界面附近的陶瓷层被压碎,从而最终导致陶瓷层的脱落。     

热障涂层脱粘裂纹缺陷的高温表征方法与演变规律EI北大核心CSCD

热障涂层在服役过程中相邻区域脱粘裂纹的扩展合并是造成陶瓷层最终剥落的重要原因,然而缺乏简单有效的无损测试方法。提出利用空腔高热阻在陶瓷层表面局部热积累,形成表面亮斑的特点,通过亮斑反向跟踪脱粘缺陷的新方法。结果表明,在界面处制备水溶性盐斑,继续喷涂陶瓷层后用水浴溶解的方式可在YSZ与金属粘结层界面有效预制特定外形与尺寸的人造脱粘裂纹缺陷;预制脱粘裂纹与表面高温亮斑尺寸呈正相关,且近似呈现为比例系数为1.031的线性关系,当预制裂纹直径大于0.4 mm时,可在涂层表面观测到亮斑,当预制裂纹直径大于0.7 mm时,用亮斑尺寸预测裂纹尺寸的相对误差低于15%;在梯度热冲击循环下,热障涂层随热冲击次数的增加,表面首先出现亮斑,随后亮斑长大、合并,在2500次左右热循环时合并速度加快,最终陶瓷层在亮斑处局部剥落。基于脱粘裂纹对于纵向热流的阻碍作用,提出一种人造脱粘裂纹缺陷的预制方法,并确立一种通过测量表面亮斑尺寸估计内部裂纹尺寸的热障涂层无损测量方法。解决了热障涂层高温缺陷难以实时观测的问题,并进一步研究了其高温演变规律,可为热障涂层的寿命预测提供数据支持。     

Numerical modeling of short crack behavior in a thermal barrier coating upon thermal shock loading

The behavior of microstructurally short inherent cracks within a preoxidized thermal barrier coating system upon thermal shock loading is considered. A thin alumina oxide layer holding residual stresses was induced at the ceramic/metal interface to simulate thermally grown oxide on the bond coat. Undulation of the oxidized bond coat was modeled as a sinusoidal surface. The variations of the stress-intensity factors of inherent centrally located cracks and of edge cracks were calculated during the thermal cycling. The instant crack shapes during the first thermal cycle and at steady state were investigated. It was found that oxide layer thickness, crack tip location, as well as interfacial undulation are factors influencing the risk of crack propagation. It was also found that an edge crack constitutes a greater threat to the coating durability than a central crack. The propagation of an edge crack, if it occurs, will take place during the first load cycle, whereas for a central crack, crack tip position decides the risk of crack propagation.     

Thermal shock testing of thermal barrier coating/bondcoat systems

Various methods of thermal shock testing are used by aircraft and industrial gas turbine engine (IGT) manufacturers to characterize new thermal barrier coating systems in the development stage as well as for quality control. The cyclic furnace oxidation test (FCT), widely used in aircraft applications, stresses the ceramic/bondcoat interface, predominantly through thermally grown oxide (TGO) growth stress. The jet engine thermal shock (JETS) test, derived from a burner rig test, creates a large thermal gradient across the thermal barrier coating (TBC), as well as thermomechanical stress at the interface. For IGT applications with long high-temperature exposure times, a combination of isothermal preoxidation and thermal shock testing in a fluidized bed reactor may better represent the actual engine conditions while both types of stress are present. A comparative evaluation of FCT, JETS, and a combined isothermal oxidation and fluidized bed thermal shock test has been conducted for selected ceramic/bondcoat systems. The results and the failure mechanisms as they relate to the TBC system are discussed. A recommendation on the test method of choice providing best discrimination between the thermal shock resistance of the ceramic layer, the ceramic/bondcoat interface, and even substrate related effects, is given. This paper was presented at the 2nd International Surface Engineering Congress sponsored by ASM International, on September 15–17, 2003, in Indianapolis, Indiana, and appeared on pp. 520–29.     

等离子喷涂金属/陶瓷梯度热障涂层研究进展

热障涂层在众多领域具有重要的应用价值,但基体与涂层的物理性能不匹配是遏制其服役性能和寿命提高的主要原因。金属/陶瓷梯度热障涂层通过逐渐改变涂层内部的成分、结构,可有效地改善基体和涂层因物理性能突变而导致的界面失效问题。首先介绍了金属/陶瓷梯度热障涂层对比于双层热障涂层的独特微观结构,并简要分析了其具有明显性能优势的原因。随后总结了金属/陶瓷梯度热障涂层残余应力的具体分布、影响因素和模拟模型优化现状,重点从优化涂层制备工艺、改进喷涂技术、改善涂层设计三个方面,介绍了改善涂层性能的研究进展。其中优化球磨和喷涂工艺参数、模拟研究喷涂过程、改进喷涂技术的方式是通过提高涂层质量来提升其物理性能,而改变涂层成分分布形式、涂层层数和厚度主要是通过改善涂层残余应力分布和水平来提升其抗热失效能力。最后提出了进一步优化模拟模型、改进喷涂技术、创新涂层设计和完善机理研究,是未来等离子喷涂金属/陶瓷梯度热障涂层的重点研究方向。     

Adhesion improvements of Thermal Barrier Coatings with HVOF thermally sprayed bond coats

Thermal barrier coatings (TBC) are an effective engineering solution for the improvement of in service performance of gas turbines and diesel engine components. The quality and further performance of TBC, likewise all thermally sprayed coatings or any other kind of coating, is strongly dependent on the adhesion between the coating and the substrate as well as the adhesion (or cohesion) between the metallic bond coat and the ceramic top coat layer. The debonding of the ceramic layer or of the bond coat layer will lead to the collapse of the overall thermal barrier system. Though several possible problems can occur in coating application as residual stresses, local or net defects (like pores and cracks), one could say that a satisfactory adhesion is the first and intrinsic need for a good coating. The coating adhesion is also dependent on the pair substrate-coating materials, substrate cleaning and blasting, coating application process, coating application parameters and environmental conditions. In this work, the general characteristics and adhesion properties of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) having bond coats applied using High Velocity Oxygen Fuel (HVOF) thermal spraying and plasma sprayed ceramic top coats are studied. By using HVOF technique to apply the bond coats, high adherence and high corrosion resistance are expected. Furthermore, due to the characteristics of the spraying process, compressive stresses should be induced to the substrate. The compressive stresses are opposed to the tensile stresses that are typical of coatings applied by plasma spraying and eventually cause delamination of the coating in operational conditions. The evaluation of properties includes the studies of morphology, microstructure, microhardness and adhesive/cohesive resistance. From the obtained results it can be said that the main failure location is in the bond coat/ceramic interface corresponding to the lowest adhesion values.     

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.
