碳基钨涂层在退火过程中的组织和结构变化

用真空等离子体喷涂(VPS)技术在C／C复合材料基体上制备了厚度为0．5mm的钨(W)涂层，涂层的表面通过物理气相沉积(PVD)预沉积钨、铼(Re)多层作为碳(C)的扩散势垒。涂层经过1200℃--2000℃的电子束退火，其微观结构和化学构成发生变化。经测量涂层的再结晶温度约为1400℃，再结晶的活性能为63kJ／mol。当退火温度高于1300℃时，涂层表面的多层W、Re结构将由于W、Re和C之间的相互扩散而发生改变，并在1600℃以上退火lh后由于脆性碳化钨在界面的形成而完全失效，碳化钨层的厚度将随着退火漏度的升高和退火时间的延长而迅速增加。

Properties of Induction Plasma Sprayed Iron Based Nanostructured Alloy Coatings for Metal Based Thermal Barrier Coatings

Metal-based thermal barrier coatings (MBTBCs) have been produced using high frequency induction plasma spraying (IPS) of iron-based nanostructured alloy powders. The study of MBTBCs has been initiated to challenge issues associated with current TBC materials such as difficult prediction of their “in-service” lifetime. Reliability of TBCs is an important aspect besides the economical consideration. Therefore, the study of MBTBCs, which should posses higher toughness than the current TBC materials, has been initiated to challenge the mechanical problems of ceramic-based TBCs (CBTBCs) to create a new generation of TBCs. The thermal diffusivity (TD) (α) properties of the MBTBCs were measured using a laser flash method, and density (ρ) and specific heat (C _p) of the MBTBCs were also measured for their thermal conductivity (k) calculation (k = αρ C _p).

Copper diffusion into silicon substrates through TaN and Ta/TaN multilayer barriers

A study of copper (Cu) diffusion into silicon substrates through Ta nitride (TaN) and tantalum (Ta/TaN) layers was investigated based on an experimental approach. TaN _x and Ta/TaN _x thin films were deposited by radiofrequency sputtering under argon (Ar) and Ar-nitrogen (N) plasma. The influence of the N₂ partial pressure on the microstructure and the electrical properties is reported. X-ray diffraction patterns showed that the increase of the N₂ partial pressure, from 2 to 10.7%, induces a change in the composition of the δTaN phase, from TaN to TaN_1.13, as well as an evolution of the dominant crystallographic orientation. This composition change is related to a drastic increase of the electrical resistivity over a N₂ partial pressure of 7.3%. The efficiency of TaN layers and Ta/TaN multilayer diffusion barriers was investigated after annealing at temperatures between 600 and 900 °C in vacuum. Secondary ion mass spectrometry profiles showed that Cu diffuses from the surface layer through the TaN barrier from 600 °C. Cu diffusion mechanisms are modified in the presence of a Ta sublayer. This article was presented at the Multicomponent-Multiphase Diffusion Symposium in Honor of Mysore A. Dayananda, which was held during TMS 2006, the 135th Annual Meeting and Exhibition, March 12–16, 2006, in San Antonio, TX. The symposium was organized by Yongho Sohn of the University of Central Florida, Carelyn E. Campbell of National Institute of Standards and Technology, Richard D. Sisson, Jr., of Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and John E. Morral of Ohio State University.     

扩散阻挡层对Cu-Zr纳米合金膜电阻率与残余应力的影响

用磁控溅射和离子束溅射共沉积的方法分别在以单晶硅为基体的TiN,TaN,ZrN扩散阻挡层上沉积了Cu-Zr合金膜,膜在400℃氮气中退火1h.结果表明扩散阻挡层对膜的晶体取向、电阻率和残余应力有很大影响.沉积态的膜具有强的（111）取向,且峰型严重展宽;退火后峰型明显锐化,出现（200）等晶体取向;对应TiN,TaN;ZrN三种扩散阻挡层,膜的电阻率在沉积态时分别达108,327和478μΩ·cm,退火后降至正常的数个μΩ·cm;扩散阻挡层亦可明显降低膜的残余应力,无扩散阻挡层时膜的退火应力达475MPa,有ZrN扩散阻挡层后退火应力降至149MPa.     

喷涂距离对热障涂层拉伸强度的影响

用等离子喷涂方法，在不同的喷涂距离（d）下制备出ZrO2陶瓷涂层，通过涂层的拉伸实验、X射线衍射和扫描电镜分析，研究了喷涂距离对涂层拉伸强度（σ）的影响规律。结果表明：d=70、80mm时，σ较高，最高可达9．14MPa；d〈70mm时，粘接层的氧化明显加剧，热生长氧化物的量明显增加，降低了ZrO2涂层与粘接层之间的结合强度，导致σ下降；d〉80mm时，随着喷涂粒子的速度降低，撞击到喷涂表面后不能完全铺展，导致σ下降。     

Application of multiscale modeling in the coating formation simulation of APS PYSZ TBCs

The process parameters of atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) influence the coating formation and properties of partially yttria stabilized zirconia (PYSZ) thermal barrier coatings (TBC). Simulations can be used to investigate this dependency and to design the coating process for a targeted production of TBCs. A whole process simulation was realized by modeling the linked subprocesses: plasma torch, plasma free jet, powder particles characteristics, and coating formation. The coating formation can be described by model approaches with different physical assumptions and geometric scales. One approach is the simulation of single powder particles hitting the substrate surface. An alternative macroscale finite element model (FEM) model approach is applied in the coating formation simulation. A group of particles is pooled in a splash that is dependent on the precalculated particle distribution in front of the substrate. A third modeling approach is applied to calculate effective mechanical and thermodynamical properties of coatings dependent on the experimentally obtained or calculated microstructure of the PYSZ TBC, which is based on different homogenization methods. The application of three simulation approaches in the whole process simulation of APS is discussed; advantages and disadvantages are elucidated. Results based on simulation and experiments are presented for a variation of process parameters. Missing links in the multiscale approach are detected to make suggestions for future modeling and simulation work.

Oxidation protection of NiCoCrAlY coatings on γ-TiAl

The effect of NiCoCrAlY overlay coatings on the oxidation resistance of γ-TiAl was studied at 900 ℃ in static air. To hinder the interdiffusion of the elements, the Al/Al2O3 layer was added between the coating and the alloy. The results show that the TiAl alloy exhibits poor oxidation resistance. NiCoCrAlY coating can not effectively protect the γ-TiAl substrate from high temperature oxidation because of the serious interdiffusion between the coating and the substrates. With Al/Al2O3 diffusion barrier, the NiCoCrAlY coating exhibits excellent oxidation protection on γ-TiAl alloy.     

High-power hybrid plasma spraying of large yttria-stabilized zirconia powder

To testify to the advantage of large ceramic powder spraying, numerical simulations and experimental studies on the behavior of large yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) powder in a high-power hybrid plasma spraying process have been carried out. Numeric predictions and experimental results showed that, with the high radio frequency (RF) input power of 100 kW, the most refractory YSZ powder with particle sizes as large as 88 μm could be fully melted and well-flattened splats could be formed. A large degree of flattening (ξ) of 4.7 has been achieved. The improved adhesive strength between the large splat and the substrate was confirmed based on the measurement of the crack density inside of the splats. A thick YSZ coating >300 μm was successfully deposited on a large CoNiCrAlY-coated Inconel substrate (50×50×4 mm in size). The ultradense microstructure without clear boundaries between the splats and the clean and crack-free interface between the top-coat and the bond-coat also indicate the good adhesion. These results showed that highpower hybrid plasma spraying of large ceramic powder is a very promising process for deposition of highquality coatings, especially in the application of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs).
