Microstructure and properties evolution of plasma sprayed Al_2O_3-Y_2O_3 composite coatings during high temperature and thermal shock treatment

Al_2O_3-Y_2O_3 composite powder with TiO_2 additive was plasma sprayed to prepare Al_2O_3-Y_2O_3 composite coatings.The micro structure and properties evolution of the Al_2O_3-Y_2O_3 coatings during high temperature and thermal shock resistance were investigated.The results show that the micro structure of the Al_2O_3-Y_2O_3-TiO_2 coating is more uniform than that of the Al_2O_3-Y_2O_3 coating.Meanwhile,amorphous phase is formed in the two coatings.The Al_2O_3-Y_2O_3(-TiO_2) coatings were heat treated for 2 h at temperatures of 800,1000 and 1200℃,respectively.It is found that the microstructure and properties of the two coatings have no obvious change at 800℃.Some of the amorphous phase is crystallized at1000℃,and meanwhile Y_2O_3 and Al_2O_3 react to form YAG phase and YAM phase.At 1200℃,all of the amorphous phases are crystallized.After heat treatment,the micro hardness of the two coatings is increased.The thermal shock resistance of the Al_2O_3-Y_2O_3 system coatings can be improved by using TC4 titanium alloy as substrate and with NiCrAlY bonding layer.Moreover,the Al_2O_3-Y_2O_3-TiO_2 coating exhibits better thermal shock resistance due to the addition of TiO_2.     

Reactive Plasma Sprayed TiN Coating and Its Thermal Stability

 TiN coating was prepared by reactive plasma spraying in the Ar and N2 containing plasma jet. The results of XRD show that the TiN coating consists of TiN and Ti3O, neither Ti2N nor TiO2 phases. The toughening mechanism was characterized by analyzing the SEM morphologies of the TiN coating′s indentation of microhardness and fracture surfaces. The results indicate that the coating possesses a high toughness. The adhesion strength among the TiN layers is 2588 MPa, which is slightly lower than that of the Ni/Al bonding coating. The oxidation process of the RPS TiN coating is TiN→Ti3O→TiO2.     

Microstructure and thermal cycling behavior of nanostructured yttria partially stabilized zirconia (YSZ) thermal barrier coatings

Nanostructured yttria partially stabilized zirconia(YSZ) coatings were prepared by atmospheric plasma spraying(APS) using the conglomeration made by zirconia nanoparticle as the raw materials.The measurement methods,which consisted of scanning electron microscopy(SEM),transmission electron microscopy(TEM) and thermal cycling behavior,were used to character the morphology,composition and thermal oxidation behavior of the powder and the coatings.From the results,it was shown that the YSZ coating was the laminar structure,and the elements distribution in the bond and top coat were well-proportioned.The YSZ coatings were composed of fine grains with size ranging from 30 to 110 nm.The laminar layers with columnar grains were surrounded with unmelted parts of the nanostructured powder and some equiaxed grains.In the as-sprayed nanostructured zirconia coatings,there existed pores that were less than 1 μm.The cracks were observed on some of the crystal border.The cyclic oxidation experiment showed that the nanostructured coating had longer thermal cycling lifetime to exhibit the promising thermal cyclic oxidation resistance.The failure of the nanostructured TBC was similar to the failure of conventional APS TBC.     

Effect of AI2O3 on Structure and Wearability of Composite Coating

The composite coating was prepared by thermal spray welding after making composite powder, which is composed of Ni based self melted alloy and AI2O3 ceramic powder including nano, sub-micron and micron powders. The influences of contents and sizes of AI2O3 on the structure and wearability were investigated. The results show that the wear resistance of the coating would be increased greatly by adding AI2O3, but the spray weldability decreases with increasing AI2O3 content. So there is an optimal content of AI2O3 powder. The composite coating with AI2O3 nano or sub micron powder of 0.5% has the best abrasive resistance, while the optimal content of AI2O3a micron powder is 1%.     

Composition and corrosion resistance of cerium conversion films on 2195Al-Li alloy

The Ce conversion films on 2195Al-Li alloy without and with post-treatment were studied and the corrosion resistance was evalu-ated as well. The surface morphology was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the chemical composition was characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The corrosion behaviors of 2195Al-Li alloy and conversion coating were assessed by means of potentiodynamic polarization curves. The experimental results indicated that after post-treatment the surface quality was improved signifi-cantly. According to XPS, the conversion coating after post-treatment was mainly composed of CeO2, Ce2O3, Ce-OH and a little MoO3 and MoO2. The results of potentiodynamic polarization curves revealed that the conversion coating with post-treatment possessed better corrosion resistance than bare alloy and Ce conversion coating without post-treatment.

Direct fabrication of cerium oxide hollow nanofibers by electrospinning

Electrospinning technique was used to fabricate PVP/Ce(NO3)3 composite mierofibers. Different morphological CeO2 nanofibers were obtained by calcination of the PVP/Ce(NO3)3 composite microfibers and were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM),Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal gravimetric and differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), and (FHR). SEM micrographs indicated that the surface of the composite fibers was smooth and became coarse with the increase of calcination temperatures. The diameters of CeO2 hollow nanofibers (300 nm at 600 ℃ and 600 nm at 800 ℃) were smaller than those of PVP/Ce(NO3)3 composite fibers (1-2 μm). CeO2 hollow nanofibers were obtained at 600 ℃ and CeO2 hollow and porous nanofibers formed by nanoparti-ties were obtained at 800 ℃. The length of the CeO2 hollow nanofibers was greater than 50 μm. XRD analysis revealed that the composite microfibers were amorphous in structure and CeO2 nanofibers were cubic in structure with space groupO5H-FM3m when calcination tem-peratures were 600-800 ℃. TG-DTA and FTIR revealed that the formation of CeO2 nanofibers was largely influenced by the calcination temperatures. Possible formation mechanism of CeO2 hollow nanofibers was proposed.     

Influence of Different Subsistence States of CeO2-ZrO2 Mixed Oxides in Catalyst Coating on Catalytic Properties

The metallic substrate-catalysts with different subsistence states of CeO2-ZrO2 mixed oxides were prepared and the catalytic properties were investigated. The studies on CeO2-ZrO2-V2O5-CuO mixed oxides which were prepared by coprecipitation, show that the doping of V5 and Cu2 in CeO2-ZrO2 mixed oxides can enhance the catalytic activity and thermal stability of coating materials. Moreover, different additives were doped in slurries of γ-Al2O3 to investigate the influence of additives on oxidation activity of catalysts. The mixture of ceria-zirconia, alkali metals and other rare earths acting as additives exhibits promotion effect on oxidation activity by optimizing the distribution of oxygen on the surface and in the bulk of ceria species. This mentioned mixture was mixed with γ-Al2O3 and a newly proposed active component to prepare a new catalyst. Afterward, the influence of thermal treatment on the new catalyst were investigated by calcinations at 500, 650, 750, 800, 850 and 900 ℃ for 2 h. The light-off curves of CO and HC show that after being treated at 650～750 ℃, catalysts present the best activity. XRD patterns show that ceria and zirconia species in the newly proposed active component form a phase of extra CeO2-ZrO2 mixed oxides on the surface of catalysts after the thermal treatment at 750 ℃, which has practical value for improving the preparation process and promoting the catalytic properties. Moreover, XPS results imply the existence of Ce1-xPdxO2-σ and Ce1-xPtxO2-σ on the surface of these treated samples, which may show influence on the catalytic activities.     

Influence of Supports on Catalytic Performance and Carbon Deposition of Palladium Catalyst for Methane Partial Oxidation

The catalytic performance of methane partial oxidation was investigated on Pd/CeO2-ZrO2 and Pd/α-Al2O3 catalysts.The catalysts were characterized by XRD,Raman spectra,and TG-DTA techniques.The results show that CeO2-ZrO2 support is more advantageous for the catalytic activity and stability of catalysts compared to α-Al2O3.TG-DTA and Raman spectra results indicated that carbon deposited on the catalysts was in the form of graphite,which is the main reason for the deactivation of catalysts after a 24-hour reaction.Moreover,CeO2-ZrO2 had positive effect on inhibiting carbon deposition.     

Performance of Pd/CeO2-ZrO2-Al2O3 catalyst for motorcycle

The Pd-only catalysts for motorcycle were prepared by impregnating CeO2-ZrO2-Al2O3 and CeO2-ZrO2+Al2O3 with PdCl2 aque-ous solution and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), oxygen storage capacity (OSC) and H2-temperature-programmed reduction (H2-TPR) methods. The XRD result indicated that the CeO2-ZrO2-Al2O3 compound prepared by co-precipitation formed a single solid solu-tion and had good thermal stability, and Pd phase was not observed in all catalysts. The TPR results showed that the reduction temperature of Pd/CeO2-ZrO2-Al2O3 catalyst was lower than that of Pd/CeO2-ZrO2+Al2O3 catalyst whether they were fresh or aged catalysts. The Pd/CeO2-ZrO2-Al2O3 exhibited high three-way catalytic activity at low temperature, high thermal stability, and wide working window, sug-gesting a great potential for applications.

Al2O3 含量对 YSZ 热障涂层性能的影响

Al_2O_3等氧化物对YSZ热障涂层的高温使用性能有一定的影响。本文用HVOF喷涂Ni Co Cr Al Y合金粘结层,APS喷涂YSZ陶瓷面层,制备了Al_2O_3含量为0.01~0.64wt%的YSZ涂层。比较了不同Al_2O_3含量的YSZ涂层在1100℃下的热震性能和抗烧结性能,并探讨Al_2O_3对涂层的影响机理。结果表明相较于高纯YSZ涂层,随着涂层中Al_2O_3含量升高,涂层的抗热震性能降低,且Al_2O_3促进YSZ涂层的烧结。Al_2O_3含量在小于0.01wt%-0.12wt%区间内时,对涂层抗热震和抗烧结性能有显著影响,含量继续增加至0.64%时,对性能影响减缓。显微组织观察与EDS检测结果表明涂层中Al_2O_3并未在熔融颗粒界面处偏聚,但在颗粒内部有局部偏析。由此推测,含Al_2O_3的YSZ涂层热震失效的原因可能是Al_2O_3在YSZ颗粒内部偏析,并影响涂层的烧结性能,导致裂纹容易萌生和扩展。

Influence of Nanometric Ceria Coating on Oxidation Behavior of Chromium at 900 ℃

Isothermal and cyclic oxidation behaviors of chromium samples with and without nanometric CeO2 coating were studied at 900 ℃ in air. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and high-resolution electron microscopy (HREM) were used to examine the morphology and microstructure of the oxide film. It was found that ceria coating greatly improved the oxidation resistance of Cr both in isothermal and cyclic oxidizing experiments. Acoustic emission (AE) technique was used in situ to monitor the cracking and spalling of oxide film, and AE signals were analyzed in time-domain and number-domain according to related oxide fracture model. Laser Raman spectrometer was also used to study the stress of oxide film formed on Cr with and without ceria. The improvement in oxidation resistance of chromium is believed mainly due to that ceria greatly reduced the growth speed and grain size of Cr2O3. This fine-grained Cr2O3 oxide film might have better high temperature plasticity and could relieve parts of the compressive stress by means of creeping and maintained ridge character and relatively lower level of internal stress. Meanwhile, ceria application reduced the size and number of interfacial defects, remarkably enhanced the adhesive property of Cr2O3 oxide scale formed on Cr substrate.

Influence of Nanometric Ceria Sol-gel Coating on Oxidation Behavior of Chromium at 1000℃

 Isothermal oxidation behavior of chromium with and without nanometric sol-gel CeO2 coating is studied at 1000℃ in air. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) are used to examine the surface morphology and microstructure of their oxide films. It is found that ceria coating greatly improves the anti-oxidation property of chromium. Laser Raman spectrometer and X-ray diffraction spectrometer (XRD) are also used to study the stress level in oxide films formed on ceria-coated and ceria-free Cr. Secondary ion massive spectrum (SIMS) is used to examine Cr, O and Ce element distribution in depth in oxide films. Results show that nano-ceria application greatly reduces the growing speed and grain size of Cr2O3 film, and his fine grain-sized Cr2O3 film probably has better high temperature plasticity, i.e. oxide film relieves part of the compressive stress by means of creeping. Meanwhile, CeO2 changes the oxide film growing mechanism from predominant cation outward diffusion to anion inward diffusion. XRD and Raman testing results both show the stress declination effect due to nano-CeO2 application, and their discrepancy is analyzed concerning to the rare earth effect.     

Effects of Doping CeO2, Er2O3 on Properties of TiO2-SiO2 Ceramics for Catalyst Supporter of deNOx

Effects of doping CeO2 and Er2O3 on the mechanical strength, thermal expansion coefficient, sintering temperature of TiO2-SiO2 ceramics were investigated. The experimental results and the microscopic analysis of SEM, XRD, TG-DSC, FT-IR and TEM show that adding CeO2 and Er2O3 into TiO2-SiO2 ceramics can prohibit the growth of its crystal grains, make their size uniform and form them into a dense structure, which finally enhance its mechanical behaviors, and the lower thermal expansion coefficient that leads to an excellent property of thermal shock resistance. After the reforming TiO2-SiO2 ceramics doped by CeO2 was sintered at 1380 ℃, the bending strength reached to 83 MPa, and the thermal expansion coefficient was 9.8×10-6/℃ within the temperature range of 25～800 ℃, which provides a promising basis of making equipped honeycomb catalyst of deNOx.
