Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of material surface treatment, and particularly relates to a (110) surface preferentially oriented MAX phase coating and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] M n+1 AX n MAX phase is a large class of thermodynamically stable, nano-layered metal carbide or nitride ceramic materials with a hexagonal structure, and the atomic structure is composed of M n+1 X n The A atom layers are alternately stacked in the c direction, and the X atoms are generally filled in the octahedral interstitial sites formed by the M atoms. Among them, M mainly represents IVB-VIB transition metals, A mainly comes from III or IV main group elements, and X represents C or N. Ti2AlC, Cr2AlC and V2AlC are typical representatives of MAX phase materials, which not only have excellent chemical corrosion resistance and high-temperature oxidation resistance, good thermal shock resistance, but also have excellent neutron irradiation stability. In addition, the unique layered structure and chemical bond characteristics also make Ti2AlC, Cr2AlC and V2AlC have good oxidation-induced self-healing ability; and they also have thermal physical properties matching materials such as stainless steel and high-performance Zr alloy. These excellent properties make Al-based Ti2AlC, Cr2AlC and V2AlC coatings as a zirconium alloy surface accident-resistant coating have been widely concerned at home and abroad.
[0003] Because MAX phase materials not only have strict chemical composition, but also have complex unit cell structure and large c-axis unit cell parameters (such as 211 system Cr2AlC c-axis length ), which leads to a narrow high-purity phase preparation window, a long atomic diffusion distance required for crystallization, and a high preparation temperature. In the common preparation methods of MAX phase coating materials, such as thermal spraying (including flame spraying, arc spraying and plasma spraying), cold spraying and physical vapor deposition (PVD), the synthesis temperature of MAX phase is above 500℃, the interface bonding strength is relatively low, and the synthesis product is often accompanied by phenomena such as powder oxidation and decarburization and impurity phase (TiC x , Ti3AlC, Zr x Al, CrC x or AlCr x compounds) generation, which reduces the high-temperature protection performance of the material.
[0004] For the Ti2AlC, Cr2AlC and V2AlC MAX phase protective coating materials of 211 system, the current preparation methods are mainly PVD technologies such as magnetron sputtering and cathodic arc ion plating, but the complete crystallization temperature is often in the range of 500-900℃, which is still higher than the final annealing temperature (450-600℃) of commonly used alloys and zirconium cladding materials, thereby limiting the surface protection application of the MAX phase coating in the key field of major technical equipment.
[0005] In summary, due to the large number of competing MAX phase materials, complex structure, high phase formation temperature, how to reduce the preparation temperature of the MAX phase coating and realize the high-purity low-temperature crystallization of the MAX phase coating is one of the bottleneck problems which need to be broken through to expand the application range of the MAX phase material in the temperature-sensitive substrate field, especially for the application in the harsh service environment of ATF zirconium alloy cladding, which has important research value and significance.

[0028] In view of the defects of the prior art, the present inventors have long studied and practiced to propose the technical solution of the present application. The present application uses a double-target high-power pulsed magnetron sputtering combined with a synchronous pulsed bias technology to realize the high-purity phase low-temperature preparation of the MAX phase coating. The TiAl / CrAl / VAl target and the C target are sputtered by using a high-power pulse power supply. The lower duty cycle and the higher peak power density in the high-power discharge improve the ionization rate of the sputtered material, enhance the kinetic energy of the particles incident on the substrate surface, and improve the kinetic conditions of the coating growth. Secondly, the application time and the voltage amplitude of the synchronous pulsed bias are adjusted to enhance the energy of the Ar ions (Ar + and Ar 2+ ), Cr ions (Cr + and Cr 2+ ), Ti ions (Ti + and Ti 2+ ), V ions (V + and V 2+ ), and Al ions (Al + and Al 2+) to the film-forming surface, and can further improve the coupling efficiency of the pulsed bias, prolong the diffusion distance of the film-forming particles, improve the compactness of the coating and the film-base bonding strength, and further improve the oxidation corrosion resistance of the coating. Finally, the closed magnetic field discharge can further enhance the ionization rate of the film-forming atoms in the HiPIMS discharge, thereby facilitating the precise regulation of the film-forming particle composition control accuracy and kinetic energy by using the bias.

[0081] The technical solutions of the application will be further described in detail below in combination with several preferred embodiments and the accompanying drawings. The embodiments are implemented on the premise of the technical solutions of the application, and detailed implementation modes and specific operation processes are given, but the protection scope of the application is not limited to the following embodiments.
[0082] In the following examples, the experimental materials used in the examples are commercially available from conventional biochemical reagent companies, unless otherwise specified.
[0083] Embodiment 1:
[0084] In this embodiment, the base material is a Ti-6Al-4V alloy sheet (TC4 alloy sheet), and the specific preparation steps of the base surface Cr2AlC MAX phase coating are as follows:
[0085] Step 1: sequentially polish the surface of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy sheet using 400#-3000# SiC sandpaper, and then polish using diamond polishing agent with a particle size of 2.5 μm for 20 min.
[0086] Step 2: ultrasonically clean the polished TC4 alloy sheet substrate in acetone and alcohol for 10 min, then rinse with deionized water, and then blow dry with high-purity N2. The substrate is fixed on the rack using a metal tablet for standby.
[0087] Step 3: place the rack in the deposition cavity chamber, and after the mechanical pump and molecular pump are vacuumed to 5 x 10 -4 After the pressure in the vacuum cavity is reduced to 5 x 10
[0088] Step 4: introduce high-purity Ar gas with a pressure of 0.5 Pa into the vacuum cavity, set the CrAl target HiPIMS power supply parameters as follows: frequency 500 Hz, duty cycle 2.5%, pulse width 50 μs, power 100 W, pulse negative bias power supply frequency 500 Hz, amplitude 900 V, duty cycle 5%, and perform Cr and Al metal ion etching cleaning on the Ti-6Al-4V alloy substrate for 20 min.
[0089] Step 5: introduce high-purity Ar gas with a pressure of 0.5 Pa into the vacuum cavity, and simultaneously open the high-power pulse sputtering power supply of the CrAl target and the C target under the closed magnetic field magnetic pole configuration of the CrAl target and the C target, with the power set to 100 W and 120 W respectively. The HiPIMS power supply parameters are set as follows: frequency 500 Hz, period 2000 μs, CrAl target duty cycle 2.5%, pulse time 50 μs, C target duty cycle 5%, pulse time 100 μs, and Cr2AlC MAX phase coating is deposited by using double-target high-power pulse magnetron co-sputtering combined with synchronous pulse bias technology. The pulse negative bias frequency of the substrate is 500 Hz, the amplitude is 100 V, the duty cycle is 12.5%, the pulse width is 250 μs, the delay is 10 μs (relative to the start of the metal target discharge pulse), and the deposition time is 360 min.
[0090] The bias waveform during deposition in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 1As shown in the figure, the peak current of the substrate is relatively large during the discharge of the CrAl target, indicating that when Ar ions bombard the substrate surface, a large number of Cr and Al metal ions are simultaneously incident on the substrate surface. The bias waveform during the deposition process is shown in the figure. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, both the CrAl and C targets are at relatively high peak power densities (400 W / cm²). 2 With 870W / cm 2 The sputtering was performed under the target. As for the synchronous pulse bias current, the peak current of the substrate was relatively large when the CrAl target was discharged, indicating that when Ar ions bombarded the substrate surface, a large number of Cr and Al metal ions were also injected into the substrate surface at the same time.
[0091] Comparative Example 1:
[0092] This embodiment is a comparative embodiment of Embodiment 1 described above.
[0093] In this embodiment, the substrate is exactly the same as in Example 1, and the polishing, cleaning, and surface metal plasma etching and cleaning processes of the substrate are also exactly the same. The difference is that in step 5, when the Cr2AlC MAX phase coating is deposited by dual-target high-power pulsed magnetron co-sputtering, no substrate bias is applied (the substrate is in a suspended state).
[0094] Figure 2 and Figure 3 As described in Example 1 above, the X-ray diffraction pattern and Raman spectrum of the coating were obtained in Comparative Example 1. Figure 2 and Figure 3 It can be seen that the deposited coating prepared by the dual-target high-power pulsed magnetron sputtering combined with synchronous pulsed bias technology in Example 1 is a crystalline Cr2AlC MAX phase coating with preferred orientation of the (110) plane, with a texture coefficient of about 3 and a crystallinity of >90%. In contrast, the deposited coating prepared by dual-target high-power pulsed magnetron sputtering in Comparative Example 1 is a non-preferred Cr2AlC MAX phase coating. The XRD pattern also shows some characteristic diffraction peaks originating from the matrix. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The figures show the surface morphology of the coatings prepared in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, respectively. As can be seen from the figures, the surface of the deposited coating prepared by the dual-target high-power pulsed magnetron sputtering technology is relatively flat and uniform. The coating prepared by the composite synchronous pulsed bias technology has coarser grains and exhibits more obvious MAX phase layer growth characteristics compared to the coating without bias. Figure 12 The electrochemical test results of the (110) facet preferred growth coating prepared in Example 1, the non-preferred coating prepared in Comparative Example 1, and the TC4 substrate are shown in the figure. As can be seen from the figure, the corrosion current density of the prepared non-preferred coating is reduced to about 1 / 5 of that of the substrate, while the corrosion current density of the (110) facet preferred coating is reduced by one order of magnitude compared with the substrate, indicating that this preferred orientation coating has better corrosion resistance and protection performance.
[0095] Example 2:
[0096] In this embodiment, the base material is a Ti-6Al-4V alloy sheet, and the specific preparation steps of the Cr2AlC MAX phase coating on the surface of the base are as follows:
[0097] Step 1: Use 400#-3000# SiC sandpaper to polish the surface of the Ti-6A1-4V alloy sheet in turn, and then use diamond polishing agent with a particle size of 2.5 μm for polishing for 20 min.
[0098] Step 2: After polishing, the TC4 alloy sheet substrate is placed in acetone and alcohol for ultrasonic cleaning for 10 min, then rinsed with deionized water, and then dried with high-purity N2. The substrate is fixed on the rack by metal pressing for standby.
