Combined Effect of Aluminum Content and Layer Structure on the Oxidation Performance of Ti1-xAlxN Based Coatings

TiN,Ti1-xAIxN single layer coatings and TiN/Ti1-xAIxN multilayer coatings were deposited on SKH51 tool steel substrate by arc ion plating.The coatings were annealed in air to study the effect of aluminum and film structure on the oxidation performance.The surface morphology and structure were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction.The element distribution on the cross section was analyzed by electron probe microscopy.It is found that the oxidation resistance of these Ti1-xAlxN based coatings is mainly attributed to aluminum content in them.In comparison with the Ti1-xAlxN single layer coating,the TiN layer inserting into the Ti1-xAlxN in a multilayer coating increases the tendency of Ti diffusion toward the surface and forms a Ti-enriched top surface oxide layer,thus degrades the oxidation resistance.As far as the oxidation resistance is concerned in this study,Ti0.33Al0.67N single layer coating performs the best among all coatings.The kinetic of oxidation behavior of all coatings presents two definite stages.One is a slow oxidation growth which conforms to parabolic law,and the other presents severe mass gain with oxidation duration.The annealing time for severe oxidation initiation is responsible to Fe2O3formation in the oxide scale.     

Oxidation and Mechanical Properties of SiC/SiC-MoSi2-ZrBa Coating for Carbon/Carbon Composites

To improve oxidation resistance of carbon/carbon （C/C） composites, a SiC/SiC-MoSi2-ZrB2 double-layer ceramic coating was prepared on C/C composites by two-step pack cementation. The phase compositions and microstructures of as-prepared multilayer coating were characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The oxidation resistance at 1773 K and the effect of thermal shock between 1773 K and room temperature on mechanical performance of coated specimens were investigated. The results show that the SiC/SiC-MoSi2-ZrB2 coating exhibits dense structure and is composed of SiC, Si, MoSi2 and ZrB2. It can protect C/C composites from oxidation at 1773 K for more than 510 h with weight loss of 0.5%. The excellent anti-oxidation performance of the coating is due to the formation of SiO2-ZrSiO4 complex glassy film. The coating can also endure the thermal shocks between 1773 K and room temperature for 20 times with residual flexural strength of 86.1%.     

Protective Effect of the Sputtered TiAlCrAg Coating on the High-Temperature Oxidation and Hot Corrosion Resistance of Ti-Al-Nb Alloy

The effect of a sputtered Ti-48AI-8Cr-2Ag (at. pct) coating on the oxidation resistance of the cast Ti-46.5AI-5Nb (at. pct) alloy was investigated in air at 1000-1100℃. Hot corrosion in molten 75 wt pct Na2SO4+25 wt pct K2SO4 was investigated at 900℃. The scale on the cast TiAINb tends to spall in air, while the scale on coating is very adherent. The sputtered Ti-48AI-8Cr-2Ag coating remarkably improved high temperature oxidation resistance of the cast Ti-46.5AI-5Nb alloy because of the formation of an adherent Al2O3 scale. Due to the inward diffusion of Cr, Kirkendall voids were found at the coating/substrate interface. TiAICrAg coating provided excellent hot corrosion resistance for TiAINb alloy in molten 75 wt pct Na2SO4+25 wt pct K2S04 at 900℃ due to the formation of a continuous Al2O3 scale.     

Influence of Sputtered NanocrystaUine Coating on Oxidation and Hot Corrosion of a Nickel-based Superalloy M951

The isothermal and cyclic oxidation behaviors in air and hot corrosion behaviors in Na2SO4 ＋ 25 wt% K2SO4 salt of M951 cast superalloy and a sputtered nanocrystalline coating of the same material were studied. Scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscope, X-ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy were employed to examine the morphologies and phase composition of the M951 alloy and nanocrystalline coating before and after oxidation and hot corrosion. The as-sputtered nanocrystalline layer has a homogeneous y phase structure of very fine grain size （30-200 nm） with the preferential growth texture of （111） parallel to the interface. Adherent AI203 rich oxide scale formed on the cast M951 alloy and its sputtered coating after isothermal oxidation at 900 and 1000 ℃. However, when being isothermal oxidized at 1100℃ and cyclic oxidized at 1000 ℃, the oxide scale formed on the cast alloy was a mixture of NiO, NiAl2O4, Al2O3 and Nb205 and spalled seriously, while that formed on the sputtered coating mainly consisted of Al2O3 and was very adherent. Nanocrystallization promoted rapid formation of Al2O3 scale during the early stage of oxidation and enhanced the adhesion of the oxide scale, thus improved the oxidation resistance of the substrate alloy. Serious corrosion occurred for the cast alloy. The sputtered nanocrystalline coating apparently improved the hot corrosion resistance of the cast alloy in the mixed sulfate by the formation of a continuous Al2O3 and Cr2O3 mixed oxide layer on the surface of the coating, and the pre- oxidation treatment of the coating led to an even better effect.     

Preparation and Microstructure of a Si-Mo Fused Slurry Coating on Carbon/Carbon Composites for Oxidation Protection

A coating of composition Si-40Mo (wt pct) was prepared by fused slurry coating method on the two-dimensional carbon/carbon (2D-C/C) composite to improve oxidation resistance. In the procedure of the fabrication, pure St slurry inner layer in the pre-coating was necessary to apply because of infiltration of liquid Si into the substrate during the sintering. The coating consists of Si continuous phase and MoSi2 particles. In addition, the infiltration of Si into the substrate and the SiC reaction layer between the coating and the C/C composite were observed. Oxidation resistance and the thermal shock resistance of the Si-Mo fused sluury coating were quite excellent at 1730℃     

Oxidation and Mechanical Properties of SiC/SiC-MoSi_2-ZrB_2 Coating for Carbon/Carbon Composites

Formation and Oxidation Resistance of Silicide Coatings for Mo and Mo-Based Alloys

The forming process of silicide coatings on pure Mo and Mo-base alloys, obtained by the gasphase deposition method, has been studied by examining the microstructure of coatings and the relationship between coating thickness and process parameters. It was shown that the growth of coatings was diffusion-controlled, the diffusion of silicon to be coated into Mo or M-o-base alloys was mainly responsible for the formation of silicide. The relationship between initial silicide thickness and oxidation resistance was also investigated, and the equation of service life of the coatings at high temperature in air is presented.     

Element Analysis of Ceramic Coatings under Spherical Indentation with Metallic Interlayer：Part Ⅱ Ring Crack

Spherical indentation of ceramic coatings with metallic interlayer was performed by means of axisymmetric finite element analysis （FEA）. Two typical ceramic coatings with relatively high and low elastic modulus deposited on aluminum alloy and carbon steel were considered. The fracture mechanics of the ceramic coatings mechanisms due to occurrence of surface ring cracks extending traverse the coating thickness under spherical indentation are investigated within the framework of linear fracture mechanics. The J-integral associated to such cracks was computed. The evolution of J-integral vs the crack length and the indentation depth was studied. The effects of the interlayer, the coating and the substrate on the J-integral evolution were discussed. The results show that a suitable metallic interlayer can improve the fracture resistance of the coating systems under the same indentation conditions through reducing the J-integral.     

EVALUATION OF NON-PERFECT ORGANIC COATINGS BY EIS

Evaluation of the protectiveness of bitumen coatings for A3 steel has been made by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy together with corrosion potential measurements. The results show that upon the immersion of the test coupons the corrosion media immediately penetrate into and arrive at the interface between the substrate and the coatings getting in touch with the substrate and establisting the conducting paths due to the presence of the micro-pores within the organic coatings. As a result,the ensuring corrosion under the organic coatings is detected by the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The capacitance of the organic coatings remainas almost constant due to the saturated water uptake, and the pore resistance within the coatings is relatively smaller owing to the formation of the conducting paths due to the presence of the micro-pores within the coatings. In this case, the electrochemical information concerning the water uptake at the early stage characterized by an increase in the capacitance of the organic coatings and a decrease in the pore resistance is missing , so the new method has to be proposed for the evaluation of the defect-dotted coating. It is pointed out in this paper by evaluating the pore resistance (Rpo) of the coating that non—perfect coating possesses "self-repairing"ability to a certain extent, and by comparing the charge transfer resistance (Rt) concerning the corrosion of the substrate under the coatings the protectiveness of the coatings can be judged. The corrosion mechanism of the substrate under the coatings is discussed in detail.     

Oxidation Resistance of the Aluminide Coating Formed on Carbon Steels

Low and medium carbon steels were aluminized by the pack aluminizing technique using halideactivated pure-Al and Fe-Al packs. The effect of mixture composition, aluminizing temperatureand time and C content of the steel substrate on the structure and thickness of the aluminidelayer, and on the oxidation resistance was investigated. The optimum oxidation resistance canbe achieved with a low carbon steel substrate when the intermetallic phases Fe3Al and FeAlform the surface of the aluminide layer. In this case, the Al concentration at the surface of thealuminide coating is at least ≥15 wt pct. Formation of high Al concentration phases (FeAl3 andFe2Al5) during aluminizing should be avoided as they tend to embrittle the aluminide layer andreduce its oxidation resistance.     

Influence of Cr content on high-temperature oxidation behaviour of arc sprayed Ni–Cr coatings

In this study, the high-temperature oxidation behaviour of arc-sprayed Ni–Cr coatings with high Cr contents of 30, 45 and 50 at.% was investigated in comparison with reference AISI 1020 steel. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy were utilised to characterise the oxide scales. The oxidation resistance of the steel substrates was found to be enhanced after the application of the Ni–Cr coatings since the oxidation kinetics followed the parabolic law. In addition, the oxidation rate of Ni–50Cr coating was 56.5% lower than that of Ni–30Cr coating, indicating that the oxidation performance of coatings was improved with increasing Cr content. The oxide layers of Ni–Cr coating were found to be a double layer structure protecting the substrate from severely oxidation, which composed of a top layer of NiO and a basal layer of Cr₂O₃ and NiCr₂O₄. The surface of Ni–30Cr coating contained lots of multi-angle NiO crystals, while the surface of Ni–50Cr coating contained a dense Cr₂O₃ structure, suggesting that the growth of NiO crystals was limited due to the large amount of Cr-rich oxides.

High temperature oxidation of Ni–W coatings electroplated on steel

The high-temperature oxidation of Ni–16 at.% W coating electroplated on the steel substrate was studied at 700 and 800 °C in air. Before oxidation, the coating consisted of supersaturated, nanocrystalline Ni grains. During oxidation, oxygen diffused inward, Ni and the substrate elements such as Fe and Cr diffused outward. The outer NiO layer was not pure but had some dissolved ions of W⁶⁺ and Fe³⁺. Some Fe³⁺ ions were dissolved in the inner (NiO+NiWO₄) mixed layer, below which (W, Fe)-supersaturated, unoxidized Ni grains existed. Below these grains, tiny Ni–W–Fe precipitates, which were formed by the outward diffusion of Fe from the substrate, were surrounded by unoxidized (Fe-enriched, Cr-containing) Ni grains. Detailed oxidation mechanism of Ni–16 at.% W coating is proposed.
