低压条件下的等离子射流特性分析

低压等离子喷涂由于具有特殊的射流特性,以及可以沉积组织均匀的特殊结构涂层而备受关注.涂层的形成受到等离子射流特性的影响,比如焓值、温度、速度等.研究中利用热焓探针技术在环境压力为3 kPa的条件下,测量了Ar-H₂等离子体不同轴向位置射流中心的焓值和压力,并且进一步计算了射流的温度和速度,以及表征等离子体对粉体加热能力的努森数.结果表明,等离子射流在距离喷嘴出口12.5 mm处的温度为11 000 K;400 mm处降为7 000 K;等离子射流速度在喷嘴出口处25 mm左右达到最大值,约为2 000 m/s;喷嘴外部等离子射流的努森数处于过渡区,对粉体的加热能力较低.     

Corrosion behavior in boiling dilute HCI solution of different ceramic coatings fabricated by plasma spraying

An Al₂O₃ ceramic coating (A), a 13 wt.% TiO₂-Al₂O₃ (13TA) composite ceramic coating, and a Ni-Al-13wt.%TiO₂-Al₂O₃ (NA-13TA) gradient composite ceramic coating were prepared on Q235 steel by plasma spraying. The corrosion behavior of samples sprayed with these coatings in a boiling 5% HCl solution was investigated. It was shown that an A ceramic coating and a 13TA composite ceramic coating were destroyed after immersion for 17 and 23 h, respectively. The NA-13TA gradient composite ceramic coating was still sound after 14 days of immersion. The corrosion resistance of samples with the NA-13TA gradient composite ceramic coating was sharply improved due to the decreased amount of connected pores in the coating. The corrosion of the sample sprayed with the gradient ceramic coating included the partial corrosion of the surface ceramic coating and the interlayer coatings. The corrosion weight loss depended on the degree of open porosity.

TiAl合金表面激光重熔纳米陶瓷涂层

采用等离子喷涂和激光重熔复合工艺在TiA l合金表面制备了纳米A l2O3-13wt%TiO2复合陶瓷涂层。为了使重熔后的陶瓷涂层保留一定的纳米结构组织,采用相对较低的激光功率和能量密度进行重熔。用扫描电镜(SEM)和X射线衍射仪(XRD)分析了涂层形貌、微观结构和相组成。结果表明,等离子喷涂纳米陶瓷涂层由纳米颗粒完全熔化区和部分熔化区两部分组成,具有等离子喷涂态的典型层状结构;由于受到激光功率、能量密度、陶瓷材料热物性参数和涂层厚度等因素的综合影响,重熔后陶瓷涂层出现了明显的分层结构特征;依据组织形态的不同,可将其大致分为:重熔区、烧结区和残余等离子喷涂区。重熔区由致密细小的等轴晶组成,并且保留了部分来源于原等离子喷涂部分熔化区的残留纳米粒子。由于等离子喷涂过程中涂层沉积时的快速凝固作用,涂层以亚稳相-γA l2O3为主,经过激光重熔处理后,-γA l2O3又重新转变为稳定相-αA l2O3。

Generation of a high-velocity jet in the electrothermal explosion of conductive ceramic powders

The electrothermal explosion spraying of conductive ceramic powders was characterized according to the electric and gas dynamic behavior of heated powders. Optical observation revealed the generation of the jetting with a leading velocity over 3 km/s. The velocity depended on the shape of the jet and the energy supplied to the powder. The heating process was related to the jetting process of the heated powders. The total electric energy supplied to the powder was two to three times the theoretical amount needed to melt the powder. Such electric energy was used for heating and accelerating the powder. This spray technique is characterized with the high-velocity jet consisting of high-pressure gas and molten ceramic particles.     

Hydroxyapatite coatings prepared by a high power laminar plasma jet

For two hydroxyapatite (HA) powders, containing particles differing in mass by a factor of 20, a set of optimum deposition parameters was defined, leading to the coatings with high crystallinity (80-90%), high adhesion strength (60 and 40 MPa for the coating thicknesses of 120 μm and 350 μm, respectively) and excellent microstructure (coatings were without micro- or macro-cracks, without delaminating on substrate-coating surface contact, and possess low porosity, 1-2%). It was shown that higher plasma power (52 kW) did not necessarily lead to a higher HA decomposition.     

Development of electrically conductive plasma sprayed coatings on glass ceramic substrates

The production of functional coatings on glass or glass ceramic substrates is of outstanding interest in modern product development due to the specific thermophysical properties of glasses, like low or even negative CTE, low heat conductivity and high dimensional stability. Atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) is an adequate technology for the deposition of a wide variety of materials on glasses and opens new application fields for thermal spraying technology in engineering and consumer industries.Metals are the frequent solution to produce electrically conductive layers in thermal spraying operations. Concerning applications with glass ceramic as a substrate, an intermediate oxide ceramic coating is applied before depositing the metallic layer, so that the distribution of residual stresses in the composite caused during and after the deposition process due to the mismatch in the materials thermophysical properties is minimized. However, the electrical properties required for the developed coatings presented in this paper can be fulfilled using other spraying materials, like mixed phases of oxide ceramics and metal powders, or pure ceramic materials. In this way, mono-layer electrically conductive systems which ensure the required stability and adhesion of the coating can be developed, reducing as well production time and costs.In the proposed approach, the three systems, metal oxide layer-composites, ceramic-metal mixed layers and ceramic mono-layers as conductive coatings on glass ceramics were thermally sprayed with APS. The coatings were characterized in terms of residual stress distribution and electrical conductivity. The influence of the process parameters on the coating electrical and mechanical properties was analyzed using the design of experiments (DOE) methodology.     

Dry sliding wear behavior of ceramic-metal composite coatings prepared by plasma spraying of self-reacting powders

Ceramic-metal composite (CMC) coatings were deposited on the surface of Fe-0.14–0.22 wt.% C steel by plasma spraying of self-reacting Fe₂O₃−Al composite powders. The dry sliding friction and wear character of the CMC coatings are investigated in this paper. The wear resistance of the CMC coatings was significantly better than that of Al₂O₃ coatings under the same sliding wear conditions. The tough metal, which is dispersed in the ceramic matrix, obviously improved the toughness of the CMC coatings. Wear mechanisms of the CMC coatings were identified as a combination of abrasive and adhesive wear.

Inclusion of aerodynamic non-equilibrium effects in supersonic plasma jet enthalpy probe measurements

Low pressure plasma spraying (LPPS) is a thermal spraying technique that has found a niche for low oxidation products. It uses a low pressure environment (i.e., chamber pressure between 2 and 90 kPa) and yields supersonic plasma jets. The enthalpy probe technique is a common measurement method in plasmas. However LPPS jets are difficult to diagnose as their supersonic nature forces the apparition of a shock wave in front of any measuring device inserted in the jet. Incomplete or erroneous assumptions are usually invoked to overcome the difficulties associated with this shock wave and carry out the LPPS jet diagnosis from enthalpy probe measurements. In this work, a new device is designed to gain access to an additional physical quantity, which is needed to assess the aerodynamic non-equilibrium state of the jet. It is combined with enthalpy probe measurements, and the resulting set of experimental data is used with a numerical procedure based on gas dynamics theory, yielding free-stream supersonic plasma jet values from the measurements behind the induced shock wave. The results agree well with the phenomenology of supersonic jets in aerodynamic nonequilibrium. However this new method is restricted by the local thermodynamic equilibrium assumption, which is directly linked with the pressure and temperature conditions of the plasma jet.

On-line temperature monitoring and process diagnosis of plasma sprayed coatings

On-line temperature monitoring of plasma sprayed coating is presented, which is based on IR pyrometery combined to robot trajectories. Temperature fields of the substrate before spraying and the deposited coating when the damage happens are taken to investigate the temperature fluctuation information. Experimental results demonstrate that coating damage always occurs in the temperature transition area of the substrate from the higher to the lower, as well as the higher temperature area. The temperature difference between the peak and the mean of the relevant regions is beyond 30-50 ℃ or even higher. This case provides the omen of coating damage and the focusing scopes for the process control of coating temperature in plasma spraying.
