Effect of a magnetron sputtered (Al2O3-Y2O3)/(Pt-Au) laminated coating on hot corrosion resistance of 8Nb-TiAl alloy

Novel (Al₂O₃-Y₂O₃)/(Pt-Au) laminated coatings were prepared on 8Nb-TiAl alloy by magnetron sputtering methods. (Na₂SO₄-NaCl)-induced hot corrosion and cyclic oxidation tests were adopted to investigate the high-temperature corrosion behaviours and the mechanical properties of the as-prepared laminated coatings. The results revealed that the multi-sealed (Al₂O₃-Y₂O₃) and (Pt-Au) layers can effectively suppress the inward diffusion of oxygen and corrosive fused salt to an extremely low level at 1000 °C and 900 °C respectively. Consequently, the high-temperature corrosion resistance of the 8Nb-TiAl alloy can be significantly improved. In addition, cyclic tests revealed the (Al₂O₃-Y₂O₃)/(Pt-Au) laminated coating can exhibit enhanced spallation and fracture resistance, which are attributable to the brittle/ductile laminated composite structure by means of energy release mechanisms and the increased thermal expansion coefficient of the coating by the addition of Pt-Au alloy.     

Nano/Micro-Laminated (ZrO2–Y2O3)/(Al2O3–Y2O3) Composite Coatings and Their Oxidation Resistance

Nano/micro-laminated (ZrO₂–Y₂O₃)/(A1₂O₃–Y₂O₃) composite coatings were deposited onto an Fe–25Cr–7Ni–N alloy substrate by using alternate electrochemical and sintering processes. The thickness of each layer was in the range of 80–500 nm. Experimental results indicated that the multi-laminated coatings were more effective in providing oxidation resistance than monolithic ZrO₂–Y₂O₃ or A1₂O₃–Y₂O₃ coatings, with the oxidation resistance of the former increasing with increasing number of laminated layers. The microstructural studies suggest that the laminated coatings possess the advantages of these two types of coatings and avoid the weakness of single ZrO₂–Y₂O₃ or A1₂O₃–Y₂O₃ coatings. Reactive elements Y and Zr also played a role in this nano-layered setting in improving the oxidation resistance of the coatings.     

Synthesis and characterization of Y3Al5O12 and ZrO2-Y2O3 thermal barrier coatings by combustion spray pyrolysis

Y₃Al₅O₁₂ and ZrO₂-Y₂O₃ (8 mol% YSZ) coatings for potential application as thermal barrier coatings were prepared by combustion spray pyrolysis. Thermal cycling of as deposited coatings on stainless steel and FeCrAlY bond coat substrates was carried out at 1000 °C and 1200 °C to determine the thermal fatigue response. Structural and morphological studies on Y₃Al₅O₁₂ and 8 mol% YSZ coatings before and after thermal cycling have been carried out. It has been noted that the coatings on FeCrAlY substrates remain intact after 50 cycles between room temperature and 1200 °C, whereas the coatings on stainless steel show some minor damage such as peeling off near the periphery after 50 cycles at 1000 °C. Thermal diffusivity values of Y₃Al₅O₁₂ and 8 mol% YSZ films were measured by using photo thermal deflection spectroscopy and the values are lower than those of coatings produced by conventional techniques such as EBPVD and APS.     

Tetragonal-cubic phase boundary in nanocrystalline ZrO2-Y2O3 solid solutions synthesized by gel-combustion

By means of synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction (SXPD) and Raman spectroscopy, we have detected, in a series of nanocrystalline and compositionally homogeneous ZrO₂-Y₂O₃ solid solutions, the presence at room temperature of three different phases depending on Y₂O₃ content, namely two tetragonal forms and the cubic phase. The studied materials, with average crystallite sizes within the range 7-10 nm, were synthesized by a nitrate-citrate gel-combustion process. The crystal structure of these phases was also investigated by SXPD. The results presented here indicate that the studied nanocrystalline ZrO₂-Y₂O₃ solid solutions exhibit the same phases reported in the literature for compositionally homogeneous materials containing larger (micro)crystals. The compositional boundaries between both tetragonal forms and between tetragonal and cubic phases were also determined.     

Effect of applied current on the electrodeposited Ni-Al2O3 composite coatings

Nano-sized Al₂O₃ ceramic particles (50 nm) were co-deposited with nickel using electrodeposition technique to develop composite coatings. The coatings were produced in an aqueous nickel bath at different current densities and the research investigated the effect of applied current on microstructure and thickness of the coatings. The variation in some mechanical properties such as hardness, wear resistance, and the adhesive strength of the composite coatings is influenced by the applied current and this was also studied. The morphology of the coatings was characterized by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The hardness, wear resistance, and bond strength of the coatings were evaluated by Vickers micro-hardness test, pin-on-disc test, and tensile test, respectively. Results showed that the Al₂O₃ particles were uniformly distributed in the coatings, and the coatings deposited at a current density of 0.01 A/cm² was most favorable in achieving a maximum current efficiency which causes the co-deposition of a maximum amount of Al₂O₃ particles (4.3 wt.%) in the coatings. The increase in Al₂O₃ particles in the coatings increased the mechanical properties of the Ni-Al₂O₃ composite coatings by grain refining and dispersion strengthening mechanisms.     

Investigation on the corrosion and oxidation resistance of Ni-Al2O3 nano-composite coatings prepared by sediment co-deposition

Ni-Al₂O₃ composite coatings were prepared by using sediment co-deposition (SCD) technique from a Watt's type electrolyte containing nano-Al₂O₃ particles. The corrosion resistance and high temperature oxidation resistance of resulting composite coatings were investigated. It was found that the incorporation of nano-Al₂O₃ particles in Ni matrix refined the Ni crystal and changed the preferential orientation of composite coatings. Meanwhile, the corrosion and oxidation resistance were improved after the incorporation of nano-Al₂O₃ particles into Ni matrix. The nano-Al₂O₃ content in deposits plays an important role for improving the corrosion and oxidation protection. The corrosion and oxidation resistance of Ni-Al₂O₃ nano-composite coatings produced via SCD technique are superior to that of CEP technique. Compared to pure Ni and Ni-Al₂O₃ composite coatings fabricated using CEP technique, the Ni-7.58 wt.% Al₂O₃ composite coating obtained by SCD technique exhibits better corrosion resistance and enhanced high temperature oxidation resistance. Moreover, the mechanism of corrosion and high temperature oxidation resistance of Ni-Al₂O₃ nano-composite coatings are discussed.     

Toughening and strengthening mechanism of plasma sprayed nanostructured Al2O3–13 wt.%TiO2 coatings

The starting materials of Al₂O₃, TiO₂, ZrO₂ and CeO₂ nanoparticles were agglomerated into sprayable feedstock powders and plasma sprayed to form nanostructured coatings. There were net structures and fused structures in plasma sprayed nanostructured Al₂O₃–13 wt.%TiO₂ coatings. The net structures were derived from partially melted feedstock powders and the fused structures were derived from fully melted feedstock powders. The nanostructured Al₂O₃–13 wt.%TiO₂ coatings possessed higher hardness, bonding strength and crack growth resistance than conventional Metco 130 coatings which were mainly composed of lamellar fused structures. The higher toughness and strength of nanostructured Al₂O₃–13 wt.%TiO₂ coatings were mainly related to the obtained net structures.

Oxidation and interfacial fracture behaviour of NiCrAlY/Al2O3 coatings on an orthorhombic-Ti2AlNb alloy

Al₂O₃ diffusion barriers of various thicknesses have been fabricated by filtered arc ion plating between the NiCrAlY coating and the O-Ti₂AlNb alloy. Isothermal oxidation tests and three-point bend tests have been conducted to investigate the influence of the Al₂O₃ diffusion barriers on the oxidation and interfacial fracture behaviour of the coatings. The results indicate that the Al₂O₃ diffusion barrier defers interdiffusion and gives oxidation resistance of the NiCrAlY coatings. The thickness of the Al₂O₃ interlayer not only influences the oxidation behaviour but also affects the interfacial fracture properties. Additionally, thermal exposure affects the critical load in three-point bend tests.
