等离子喷涂Mo/8YSZ功能梯度热障涂层结构优化与热力耦合模拟计算

目的研究不同结构参数对Mo/8YSZ热障涂层系统残余应力的影响因素。方法设计Mo/8YSZ功能梯度热障涂层,并利用ANSYS有限元软件建立了等离子喷涂Mo/8YSZ功能梯度热障涂层的数值模型,模型中考虑了材料热物理性能参数随温度变化,研究粘结层、过渡层及陶瓷层厚度对Mo/8YSZ功能梯度热障涂层残余应力的影响规律。结果随着径向距离的增大,粘结层与陶瓷层界面的残余应力逐渐由压应力变为拉应力,并且在涂层边缘位置,径向残余拉应力达到最大值。在0~12 mm路径范围内的同一位置,伴随着陶瓷层厚度的增加,粘结层与陶瓷层界面位置的轴向残余应力无明显变化,且轴向残余应力的数值几乎为0;在6~12.5 mm路径范围内的同一位置,伴随着陶瓷层厚度的增加,其剪切残余应力逐渐增大。在基体与粘结层界面边缘0.5 mm处存在着与其他位置相比更大的应力突变。粘结层与陶瓷层的厚度参数比控制在4∶10~4∶13时,涂层具有最低的热失配。过渡层与陶瓷层的厚度参数比控制在1∶4时,涂层具有最低的热失配。当功能梯度热障涂层的过渡层采用50%Mo与50%8YSZ复合而成时,将粘结层、过渡层及陶瓷层三者的厚度比值控制在16∶10∶40~16∶13∶52,涂层具有最低的热失配。结论通过设计功能梯度热障涂层,并合理调控热障涂层系统的结构参数,可进一步减小喷涂构件的残余应力和应力突变情况,提升基体与涂层的结合强度。     

Evolution of Lamellar Interface Cracks During Isothermal Cyclic Test of Plasma-Sprayed 8YSZ Coating with a Columnar-Structured YSZ Interlayer

The failure of plasma-sprayed thermal barrier coatings (TBC) usually occurs through spalling of ceramic coating. The crack evolution during thermal cycling of TBC is directly associated with its spalling. In this paper, the cracks in TBC along the direction of the interface between ceramic coating and bond coat were examined from cross-section of TBC experienced different numbers of thermal cycle, and crack number and the total length of cracks were measured to aim at understanding the failure mechanism. TBC consists of cold-sprayed NiCoCrAlTaY bond coat on IN738 superalloy and double layered plasma-sprayed 8YSZ with a columnar grain structured YSZ interlayer of about 20 μm thick and about 230 μm lamellar YSZ. With each isothermal cyclic test, the TBC samples were kept at 1150 °C for 26 min hold and then cooled down to a temperature less than 80 °C in 4 min by air forced cooling. Results showed that cracks propagated primarily within lamellar-structured YSZ over the columnar YSZ along lamellar interface. The measurement from the cross-section revealed that crack number and total crack length apparently increased with the increase of the number of thermal cycle. It was found that cracks with a length less than a typical size of 200 μm accounted for the majority of cracks despite the number of thermal cycle during the test. A crack initiation and propagation model for plasma-sprayed TBC is proposed with a uniform distribution of circular cracks. The propagatable cracks form homogeneously within plasma-sprayed porous YSZ coating at the early stage of thermal cycling and propagate at an identical rate during thermal cycling. Only a few of large cracks are formed before most cracks reach to the critical size for multi-cracks linking-up. The propagation of most cracks to the critical size will leads to the rapid crack bridging and subsequent spalling of top ceramic TBC.

A physics-based life prediction methodology for thermal barrier coating systems

A novel mechanistic approach is proposed for the prediction of the life of thermal barrier coating (TBC) systems. The life prediction methodology is based on a criterion linked directly to the dominant failure mechanism. It relies on a statistical treatment of the TBC’s morphological characteristics, non-destructive stress measurements and on a continuum mechanics framework to quantify the stresses that promote the nucleation and growth of microcracks within the TBC. The last of these accounts for the effects of TBC constituents’ elasto-visco-plastic properties, the stiffening of the ceramic due to sintering and the oxidation at the interface between the thermally insulating yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) layer and the metallic bond coat. The mechanistic approach is used to investigate the effects on TBC life of the properties and morphology of the top YSZ coating, metallic low-pressure plasma sprayed bond coat and the thermally grown oxide. Its calibration is based on TBC damage inferred from non-destructive fluorescence measurements using piezo-spectroscopy and on the numerically predicted local TBC stresses responsible for the initiation of such damage. The potential applicability of the methodology to other types of TBC coatings and thermal loading conditions is also discussed.

Multilayered thermal barrier coating for land-based gas turbines

Multilayered thermal barrier coatings (TBC) with different functions were proposed for the hot section components of land-based gas turbines. This article describes a multilayered TBC with an oxidation resistant layer. A conventional duplex TBC and a triplex TBC, in which an aluminized layer was added to the conventional duplex TBC to increase oxidation resistance, were prepared. It was confirmed by a burner rig test that the triplex TBC with the aluminized layer is resistant to oxidation and shows high durability in a thermal cycle test, compared with the conventional duplex TBC. The spalling in the thermal cycle test of each TBC specimen occurred at the same position, when the thickness of the oxidation layer was 11 to 13 μm. The mechanism of spalling of the coating in the thermal cycle test was discussed in terms of stress in the coating. Stress in the direction of spalling occurred by an uneven interface between the bond and top coat and increased with growth of the oxidation layer. It is thought that the high durability of the triplex TBC in the thermal cycle test is derived from suppressing the growth of the oxidation layer and decreasing the stress due to the addition of the aluminized layer.     

Experimental and numerical life prediction of thermally cycled thermal barrier coatings

This article addresses the predominant degradation modes and life prediction of a plasma-sprayed thermal barrier coating (TBC). The studied TBC system consists of an air-plasma-sprayed bond coat and an air-plasma-sprayed, yttria partially stabilized zirconia top layer on a conventional Hastelloy X substrate. Thermal shock tests of as-sprayed TBC and pre-oxidized TBC specimens were conducted under different burner flame conditions at Volvo Aero Corporation (Trollhättan, Sweden). Finite element models were used to simulate the thermal shock tests. Transient temperature distributions and thermal mismatch stresses in different layers of the coatings during thermal cycling were calculated. The roughness of the interface between the ceramic top coat and the bond coat was modeled through an ideally sinusoidal wavy surface. Bond coat oxidation was simulated through adding an aluminum oxide layer between the ceramic top coat and the bond coat. The calculated stresses indicated that interfacial delamination cracks, initiated in the ceramic top coat at the peak of the asperity of the interface, together with surface cracking, are the main reasons for coating failure. A phenomenological life prediction model for the coating was proposed. This model is accurate within a factor of 3.

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。
