Thermal spraying of a nitrogen alloyed austenitic steel

Stainless steel coatings provide an alternative to protect steel surfaces against corrosive attack. The 316 L stainless steel coatings have been conventionally produced by different spraying processes for such applications. Because the nitrogen alloyed stainless steels exhibit not only superior mechanical properties, but also better corrosion behaviour than conventional stainless steels, in this study the coatings of a nitrogen alloyed austenitic steel were produced using a high velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) spraying process and an atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) process. Due to much stronger deformation strengthening, the coatings deposited by the HVOF spraying process presented a much higher microhardness than the coatings deposited by the APS process. Moreover, the coatings deposited by the HVOF spraying process were also more corrosion resistant than the coatings deposited by the APS process, because the oxidation of the powder material during HVOF spraying was much lower than that during APS. Compared with the coatings of the conventional stainless steel 316 L, the nitrogen alloyed steel coating deposited by the HVOF spraying process showed a much better corrosion performance.

Study of the microstructure of plasma sprayed coatings obtained from Al2O3–13TiO2 nanostructured and conventional powders

The microstructure of coatings obtained from nanostructured or conventional Al₂O₃–13TiO₂ powders and deposited by plasma spraying technique on low-carbon steel was examined by transmission electron microscopy techniques. The dominating phase in both coatings was γ-Al₂O₃ phase. It has been observed that the grains of γ-Al₂O₃ grew in various shapes and sizes, that are particularly visible in the case of coating sprayed from nanostructured powder. The coatings obtained from the fully melted conventional powders exhibited a typical lamellar microstructure, into which the strips of TiO₂ phase were extended. The microstructure of coatings produced from agglomerates of nanostructured particles also revealed the regions consisting of partially melted α-Al₂O₃ powders surrounded by the net-like structure formed from fully melted oxides that improved the coating properties. Along with the observed morphology diversity some changes in the chemical composition on the cross sections of obtained coatings have been also noticed.     

Influence of Annealing on the Grain Growth and Thermal Diffusivity of Nanostructured YSZ Thermal Barrier Coating

The nanostructured zirconia coatings were deposited by atmospherically plasma spraying. Scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, transmission electron microscopy （TEM） and X-ray diffraction were used to investigate the microstructure of the zirconia coatings. Thermal diffusivity values at normal temperatures have been evaluated by laser flash technique. Effect of annealing on the microstructure evolution of the zirconia coating has been performed. The grains and thermal diffusivity are increased with increasing annealing time and temperature. The grain growth is according to the GRIGC （the grain rotation induced grain coalescence） mechanism. The increase in thermal diffusivity is attributed to the grain growth and the decrease in porosity of nanostructured zirconia coatings.     

等离子喷涂纳米Al2O3-13wt% TiO2涂层组织与性能的双态分布特性研究（英文）

采用由喷雾造粒制备的纳米团聚粉末并通过等离子喷涂制备出纳米Al2O3-13wt%TiO2涂层.研究分析了涂层的相组成、显微结构、硬度及断裂韧性,结果发现,该纳米涂层呈现出由两部分不同区域组成的双态分布结构:一部分为完全熔化后凝固形成的层状结构;另一部分则为部分熔化的粒状结构,其内保留来源于喷涂喂料的纳米或亚微米粒子.涂层中与未熔纳米α-Al2O3粒子含量成比例的部分熔化区百分数可以通过调整关键喷涂工艺参数(CPSP)来控制.纳米涂层所具有的这种混合结构特性,可以被其力学性能的双态分布特征所证实.Weibull统计分析表明,涂层的显微硬度和断裂韧性均呈现出双态分布,部分熔化区的显微硬度及其分散性均比完全熔化区低,而其断裂韧性及其分散性则均比完全熔化区高.     

Plasma spraying of nanostructured partially yttria stabilized zirconia powders

Nanosized partially yttria stabilized zirconia particles, prepared using a co-precipitation method, were reprocessed into agglomerate powders using two methods for plasma spraying. The first method was to make micrometer-sized agglomerates directly following the grinding of the calcined yttria–zirconia agglomerates. The second method was to reconstitute the nanosized particles into micrometer agglomerates using spray drying. The deposition efficiency, porosity, microhardness and average grain size of the deposits made from these two reprocessed powders were studied. Distinct results related to the process parameters were obtained for the two types of powders. The second type of powder was more suitable for plasma spraying than the first one. Using the second type of powder, some unique results distinguished from those of the conventional partially yttria stabilized zirconia powders were observed and an optimized coating with a porosity of 3.8%, Hv_0.3 of 953 and mainly consisting of 1–3 μm columnar grains in the columnar direction and smaller than 100 nm in their cross-sections was achieved.     

Microstructure of YSZ Coatings Deposited by PS-PVD Using 45 kW Shrouded Plasma Torch

In this study, a conventional 80 kW class plasma spraying system was used to produce yttria-stabilized-zirconia (YSZ) coatings by PS-PVD at a pressure of 100 Pa. A shroud was attached in the front of the plasma nozzle to restrain expansion of plasma jet. The torch was operated at an arc power of 45 kW and YSZ coatings were deposited at a powder feed rate of 0.2 g/min. Optical emission spectroscopy was used to diagnose the particle state in plasma jet. The surface morphology and cross-sectional morphology of coatings was characterized by field emission scanning electron microscope. It is found that the amount of YSZ evaporation is significantly enhanced through using a shroud. The coatings with a hybrid microstructure of splats and nanoclusters were deposited perpendicular to the coatings. The nanostructured clusters deposited out of the vapor are presented at splat interfaces. It is evident that using powders specially designed for PS-PVD and controlling heating of plasma jet to spray particles, PS-PVD deposition for a hybrid microstructure consisting of vapor phase deposit can be realized through conventional plasma spray system. Columnar grain structured YSZ can also be deposited by pure vapor phase at the side surface of the substrate.     

Preparing of nanostructured Al2O3–TiO2–ZrO2 composite powders and plasma spraying nanostructured composite coating

Nanostructured Al₂O₃–TiO₂–ZrO₂ composite powders for plasma spraying were prepared by spray drying granulation technology. The effects of processing parameters on the microstructure and properties of composite powders were investigated. The results show that with increasing the slurry solid content, the particle size of powders increases, and the bulk density of powders increases, and the flowability of powders increases firstly and then decreases. With increasing the binder content, the particle size of powders increases, and the bulk density of powders increases, and the flowability of powders increases firstly and then decreases. With increasing the spray drying temperature, the particle size of powders increases, and the bulk density and flowability of powders increases firstly and then decreases. The most appropriate spray drying parameters are the slurry solid content of 40 wt.%, the binder content of 2.0 wt.% and the spray drying temperature of 250 °C. The nanostructured composite coating was successfully prepared by using the as-prepared nanostructured Al₂O₃–TiO₂–ZrO₂ composite powders as feedstocks. The nanostructured coating possessed higher hardness and toughness compared with the conventional microstructured one, which was attributed to the use of the nanostructured composite powders feedstocks.     

Microstructure and indentation mechanical properties of plasma sprayed nano-bimodal and conventional ZrO2–8wt%Y2O3 thermal barrier coatings

The nanostructured agglomerated feedstock used for plasma spraying was obtained by the nanoparticle reconstituting technique. Nanostructured and conventional ZrO₂–8wt%Y₂O₃ (8YSZ) thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) have been prepared by atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) on 45# steel substrates with the NiCrAlY as the bond-layer. The microstructure and phase composition of feedstocks and corresponding coatings were characterized. The top layer of nanostructured 8YSZ TBCs is denser and has fewer defects than that of conventional TBCs. The elastic modulus, micro-hardness and Vickers hardness of nanostructured 8YSZ TBCs exhibit bimodal distribution while the conventional 8YSZ exhibit mono-modal distribution. The elastic modulus and elastic recoverability were also obtained by the nanoindentation test. The results indicate that the elastic modulus of nanostructured 8YSZ coating is lower than that of conventional 8YSZ coating, but the nanostructured 8YSZ coating has higher elastic recoverability than that of the conventional 8YSZ coating. The prediction of the average elastic modulus was established by the mixture law and weibull distribution according to the fraction of phases with different molten characteristic.     

纳米陶瓷等离子喷涂层硬度的Weibull分布及与涂层组构的对应特性

等离子喷涂层的硬度是反映其耐磨性、强度、使用寿命的重要指标,它与涂层的组构有对应的关系,但其测定结果分散性较大。为了精确测量陶瓷等离子喷涂层的硬度,在NiCrAl合金表面等离子喷涂制备了Al2O3-13%TiO2(AT13)纳米陶瓷涂层(ncc)和对照用微米涂层(mcc),采用显微硬度测试仪测量了其显微硬度,研究了其Weibull分布特性,通过SEM、XRD等分析了ncc涂层显微硬度与微观组织结构的关系,并通过TEM对涂层的微区结构进行了表征。结果表明:ncc涂层的平均显微硬度显著高于mcc,且呈双态分布;两者硬度的Weibull分布呈分散性,但ncc涂层的分布较均匀,微裂纹细小且粒径小,以α-Al2O3和γ-Al2O3及少量金红石型TiO2为主要物相;ncc涂层具有优异的力学性能主要归因于其组织的晶粒细化、纳米TiO2颗粒镶嵌于Al2O3孔隙中、Al2O3微晶弥散分布、微裂纹韧化等。

Plasma Spraying of Al2O3 and ZrSiO4 to Form ZrO2- Mullite Composites

Zirconia is effective in improving fracture toughness of a number of ceramics when introduced as a reinforcement either in the form of participates, dispersed phase or whiskers because of its unique tetragonal-monoclinic (t → m) transformation. In this paper, the authors attempt to prepare ZrO₂, reinforced mullite by plasma spraying mixtures of zircon and alumina. Pre-mixed powders of zircon and alumina are injected onto a D.C. plasma jet. The plasma sprayed particles are collected in distilled water and analyzed. The results indicate that the plasma sprayed powders consist of zirconia, zircon, and alumina. It was found that fine grained, even amorphous and chemically homogeneous composite powders could be obtained by ball milling and plasma spraying. Recrystallization of amorphous phases and formation of mullite occurred at about 1OOO^°C in plasma sprayed powders. This value is more than 500^°C lower than the formation of mullite in asmilled powders. Uniform coatings with good structural integrity were obtained by plasma spraying. The relative quantity of mullite in coatings after heat treatment is about 4 times as much as that obtained in the spheroidized powders. Preheat treatment of the spheroidized powder promoted dissociation of zircon. Zirconia remained as tetragonal under 1000^°C in the sprayed coatings.     

Formation of high heat resistant coatings by using gas tunnel type plasma spraying

Zirconia sprayed coatings are widely used as thermal barrier coatings (TBC) for high temperature protection of metallic structures. However, their use in diesel engine combustion chamber components has the long run durability problems, such as the spallation at the interface between the coating and substrate due to the interface oxidation. Although zirconia coatings have been used in many applications, the interface spallation problem is still waiting to be solved under the critical conditions such as high temperature and high corrosion environment. The gas tunnel type plasma spraying developed by the author can make high quality ceramic coatings such as Al2O3 and ZrO2 coating compared to other plasma spraying method. A high hardness ceramic coating such as Al2O3 coating by the gas tunnel type plasma spraying, were investigated in the previous study. The Vickers hardness of the zirconia (ZrO2) coating increased with decreasing spraying distance, and a higher Vickers hardness of about Hv = 1200 could be obtained at a shorter spraying distance of L = 30 mm. ZrO2 coating formed has a high hardness layer at the surface side, which shows the graded functionality of hardness. In this study, ZrO2 composite coatings (TBCs) with Al2O3 were deposited on SS304 substrates by gas tunnel type plasma spraying. The performance such as the mechanical properties, thermal behavior and high temperature oxidation resistance of the functionally graded TBCs was investigated and discussed. The resultant coating samples with different spraying powders and thickness are compared in their corrosion resistance with coating thickness as variables. Corrosion potential was measured and analyzed corresponding to the microstructure of the coatings. Keywords: High Heat Resistant Coatings, Gas Tunnel Type Plasma Spraying, Hardness,
